  • The Molecule That Rebuilds Your Mitochondria? What Hydrogen REALLY Does in the Body

    The Molecule That Rebuilds Your Mitochondria? What Hydrogen REALLY Does in the Body
    Nov 25 2025

    What if one of the most powerful tools for repair, resilience, and longevity isn’t a drug or a device—but the smallest molecule in the universe? In this episode of Metabolic Matters, Dr. Nasha Winters sits down with Matt (Mateo) Johnson, founder of Axiom H2, to explore the science and clinical potential of molecular hydrogen therapy.

    A former competitive athlete turned hydrogen specialist, Mateo has spent over a decade advancing medical-grade hydrogen technology, working with aerospace-level European R&D engineers to create some of the most precise, stable, and effective hydrogen delivery systems in the world.

    Together, they unpack the real science of hydrogen:

    • Why molecular hydrogen acts as a selective antioxidant

    • How its tiny size allows it to reach the mitochondria, brain, and DNA

    • The difference between hydrogen, hydrogen-rich water & Brown’s gas

    • What current research reveals about oxidative stress, inflammation & mitochondrial dysfunction

    • Why hydrogen may support cognition, recovery, metabolic health, and long-COVID symptoms

    • How athletes, aging adults & those with chronic illness are using it safely and effectively


    If you’re curious about longevity, mitochondrial repair, cellular resilience, or cutting-edge wellness tech, this episode will expand your thinking about what hydrogen can do for human health.

  • The Shocking Truth About Sugar Addiction: How One Molecule Is Hijacking Your Metabolism

    The Shocking Truth About Sugar Addiction: How One Molecule Is Hijacking Your Metabolism
    Nov 11 2025

    What if you could block your sugar cravings at the source—and retrain your metabolism to crave health instead of glucose spikes? 🍭

    In this eye-opening episode of Metabolic Matters, Dr. Nasha Winters sits down with Sander Brus, founder and CEO of NoSu Health, to explore how a breakthrough herbal technology may help us finally escape the grip of sugar addiction. Combining modern metabolic science with ancient Ayurvedic wisdom, Sander shares how his company’s product, Sweet Shield, uses plant compounds like Gymnema sylvestre—known as “the sugar destroyer”—to blunt sweet taste receptors, flatten glucose spikes, and rewire cravings from the inside out.

    They dive into the real science of sugar and the sweet taste receptor, uncovering why our modern food environment keeps us hooked, what happens when you retrain your taste buds, and how metabolic flexibility is the true key to longevity and energy. The conversation also takes a personal turn as Sander shares how his mother’s cancer journey shaped his mission to make metabolic health accessible to everyone.

    If you’ve ever struggled with cravings, energy crashes, or blood sugar swings, this episode will change how you see your body—and your relationship with sweetness—forever.

  • Pain Is Not a Life Sentence: Jane Hogan on Healing Through the Mind, Body & Breath

    Pain Is Not a Life Sentence: Jane Hogan on Healing Through the Mind, Body & Breath
    Oct 21 2025
    In this illuminating episode of Metabolic Matters, I sit down with Jane Hogan, known as The Wellness Engineer — a woman who transformed her own crippling rheumatoid arthritis into a catalyst for deep healing and purpose. After reversing her pain naturally, Jane left behind a 30-year engineering career to help thousands of others rewire their relationship with pain through science, breath, and self-compassion. Blending functional medicine, neuroscience, and ancient wisdom, Jane teaches that pain isn’t just a physical condition — it’s the body’s way of asking for safety. Together, we explore how to move beyond management into true transformation by calming the nervous system and reclaiming your power as the engineer of your own healing. Jane’s story is living proof that chronic pain can become the very teacher that leads us back to wholeness. Her message is both scientific and soulful — that healing doesn’t come from fighting the body, but from teaching it how to feel safe again.If you’ve ever been told your pain is permanent, this conversation will help you see it through a new lens — one of hope, empowerment, and possibility.Connect with Jane: Website: https://thewellnesssengineer.comYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/c/JaneHoganHealth/videosFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/janehoganhealthInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thewellnessengineerAbout Your HostI’m Dr. Nasha Winters, a global healthcare authority, best-selling author, and educator in the emerging field of integrative oncology and terrain-based cancer care.

  • Why Heart Disease Is a Metabolic Problem — Not a Cholesterol One | Dr. Philip Ovadia

    Why Heart Disease Is a Metabolic Problem — Not a Cholesterol One | Dr. Philip Ovadia
    Oct 28 2025
    What if the root cause of heart disease isn’t cholesterol… but metabolic dysfunction?In this powerful episode of Metabolic Matters, I sit down with Dr. Philip C. Ovadia — a board-certified cardiothoracic surgeon, metabolic health expert, and author of Stay Off My Operating Table. Once an overweight surgeon facing his own pre-diabetes, Dr. Ovadia reversed his health through a low-carb, nutrient-dense lifestyle and discovered something medicine had missed for decades: that heart disease isn’t a plumbing problem — it’s a metabolic one. Together, we explore how the medical system lost its way, why lowering cholesterol hasn’t fixed heart disease, and how insulin resistance, inflammation, and lifestyle are at the true core of cardiovascular dysfunction. We also talk about the courage it takes to question medical dogma — and why doing so may be the only way to reclaim real health. Dr. Ovadia’s mission today is simple but revolutionary: to keep people off the operating table by empowering them to understand, measure, and repair their own metabolic health. His work is a bridge between cardiology and oncology, reminding us that nearly all chronic disease stems from the same broken terrain.Connect with Dr. Philip Ovadia: WebsiteStay Off My Operating Table BookYoutubeFacebookInstagram About Your HostI’m Dr. Nasha Winters, a global healthcare authority, best-selling author, and educator in the emerging field of integrative oncology and terrain-based cancer care.

  • You Are Not Your Diagnosis: Dr. Christina Bjorndal on True Mental Health Recovery

    You Are Not Your Diagnosis: Dr. Christina Bjorndal on True Mental Health Recovery
    Oct 14 2025

    In this profoundly moving episode of Metabolic Matters, Dr. Nasha Winters sits down with Dr. Christina Bjorndal, ND — a naturopathic doctor, best-selling author, and survivor of some of life’s deepest challenges, including bipolar disorder type 1, psychosis, multiple suicide attempts, and cancer. Through her lived experience and decades of clinical work, Dr. Chris has become a guiding light in integrative mental health, showing that true healing is possible when we embrace every part of ourselves — body, mind, and spirit.

    Drawing from her book Beyond the Label and her decades of clinical practice, Dr. Chris reveals how she rebuilt her own “health house” from the ground up, weaving together physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual healing. Her story is one of resilience, radical self-compassion, and courage — a reminder that we are never too broken to heal.


    Together, Dr. Nasha and Dr. Chris explore:

    • The truth behind mental health “labels” — and why they don’t define who you are
    • How trauma, love, and self-acceptance shape the path to recovery
    • The four pillars of whole-person health and how to strengthen your “health house”
    • The role of surrender, intuition, and spirituality in the healing process
    • How to move from self-criticism to self-compassion and reclaim your vitality
