  • What Really Matters For Fat Loss
    Aug 11 2025

    Over 100 million adults (42.4%) are obese in America. Obesity comes with substantial health risks & impacts on quality of life as well as mental health. As such, nearly half of adults in the US attempt weight loss on a yearly basis but the number of people who are successful in losing weight and successfully maintaining that weight loss are extremely low. Moreover, the amount of misinformation surrounding fat loss is overwhelming. In this podcast, Dr. Norton breaks down the most important things to consider for a successful weight loss lifestyle program to have success and maintain it for the long term.

  • Things I've Changed My Mind On
    Aug 4 2025

    The mark of any good scientist is their willingness to change their mind based on evidence. No matter how strongly we feel about a topic, we must always consider new data, and if the data is strong enough over time, we change our minds. In this episode, Dr. Norton goes down a list of the things he felt most strongly about and later changed his mind on as new data emerged.

  • Protein Masterclass with my PhD Advisor Dr. Donald Layman
    Jul 28 2025

    Get ready for the ULTIMATE masterclass on protein as I host my mentor & PhD advisor, Dr. Donald Layman on the podcast. Not only did Dr. Layman help mentor me through my PhD and shape my rigorous thinking as a scientist, he is also one of the smartest people I’ve ever met. Like me, his Bachelors was in Biochemistry and PhD in Nutritional Science. This uniquely positioned him to understand the deep mechanisms and biochemistry underlying metabolic pathways, while also having a fantastic understanding of how these mechanisms play out on a whole body level.

    Dr. Layman has published hundreds of peer reviewed journal articles, and many of his graduates have gone on to make big impacts in Academia & Industry, including: Drs Josh & Tracey Anthony, Dr. Jamie Baum, Dr. Suzanne Devkota, Dr. Gabrielle Lyon, & more. Last year, Dr. Layman was presented with the American Society for Nutrition’s Lifetime Achievement Award for his incredible body of work.

    You do not want to miss this deep dive into all things protein with one of the GOATs of Protein and Nutrition.
