  • Sugar: Why Your Sweet Tooth Might Be Sabotaging Your Health

    Sugar: Why Your Sweet Tooth Might Be Sabotaging Your Health
    Jul 3 2025

    Sugar is everywhere…in our drinks, snacks, sauces, even our so-called "healthy" foods.

    And while we’ve all heard that too much is bad for us, most people have no idea just how much they’re consuming, or what it’s really doing to their body.

    It’s not just about cavities or a few extra pounds. Excess sugar consumption is one of the silent drivers behind metabolic syndrome, insulin resistance, fatty liver disease, and even heart disease.

    And sugar substitutes? They might seem like the answer, but the science is still out and in some cases, troubling.

    In this episode of Time to Transform, I break down the hard truths about processed sugar, natural sugars, and modern sweeteners. I explore the deeper impact of sweeteners on your long-term health, and how your genetics might make the risks even higher.

    Things You’ll Learn In This Episode

    -The truth about natural sugar
    We’re told fruit is healthy but what about honey, maple syrup, and fruit juice?

    -Why South Asians are more at risk
    Some people are more vulnerable to sugar’s effects, even in smaller amounts. How do genetics shape your risk for diabetes and heart disease?

    -The truth about sugar substitutes
    Artificial sweeteners, sugar alcohols, and plant-based options like stevia all come with trade-offs. Which ones are safest, and which ones could backfire?

    -How to break the cycle of sugar addiction
    Sugar hijacks your brain chemistry. So what does it take to regain control, without feeling deprived?

  • What Really Causes Breast Cancer? The Answer Might Surprise You w/ Dr. Pamela Smith | Ep 33

    What Really Causes Breast Cancer? The Answer Might Surprise You w/ Dr. Pamela Smith | Ep 33
    Jun 19 2025
    Breast cancer is one of the most talked-about health issues in the world, but there’s still so much we don’t discuss. While mammograms and early detection campaigns have saved countless lives, the conversation often stops there. What’s missing is a deeper look at the lifestyle, genetic, and environmental factors that play a pivotal role in prevention, and the small, daily changes that can make a massive impact. Because here’s the truth: 80% of breast cancer cases are not inherited. They’re environmental. That means we have far more power than we think. But to tap into it, we need better guidance, smarter screening strategies, and a stronger understanding of how our bodies work. What kind of screenings should women get? How do factors like breast tissue increase the risk of breast cancer? In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Pamela Smith, an internationally recognized functional medicine physician, author of 14 bestselling books, and co-director of the Personalized Medicine Certification at the University of South Florida. She shares science-backed strategies to reduce your risk, strengthen your immune system, and support your body before and after a diagnosis. Things You’ll Learn In This Episode The 3 things that feed cancer Sugar, stress, and toxins are the trifecta that fuel cancer cell growth. But how do you realistically cut them out and what’s secretly making them worse? Why 80% of breast cancer isn’t genetic Family history matters but not as much as your environment. Which everyday exposures and habits have the biggest impact on your risk? The truth about hormones and alcohol Is hormone therapy safe? And what happens when you mix it with alcohol? What most women don’t know about screening Dense breast tissue, faulty methylation, even your gut health can affect your screening results. How do you make sure you’re getting the full picture of your health? Guest Bio Pamela Wartian Smith, M.D., MPH, MS is an internationally known speaker and author on the subject of Anti-Aging and Precision Medicine. She spent her first twenty years of practice as an emergency room physician with the Detroit Medical Center in a level 1 trauma center and then 28 years as an Anti-Aging/Functional Medicine specialist.

  • Kids, Mood Swings, and Mental Health: Separating Fact from Fiction | Ep 32

    Kids, Mood Swings, and Mental Health: Separating Fact from Fiction | Ep 32
    Jun 5 2025

    We all want to raise healthy, happy children. But when it comes to their mental health, there’s a lot of confusion about what’s normal and what needs attention.

    You’ve probably heard things like, “Kids are just moody,” or “They’ll grow out of it.” But in today’s world, where screen time is up, attention spans are down, and anxiety is more common than ever, those casual explanations might be dangerously outdated.

    After leading a wellness session for teachers and parents at a local school, I was overwhelmed by the questions and concerns around kids’ emotional and mental well-being.

    So in this special “Science vs. Fiction” episode, I’m diving into the real science behind children’s mental health and busting the myths that keep families from getting the help they need.

    I explore what mental health really means in children, how to recognize the signs of disorders like depression, anxiety, ADHD, and autism, and why early support can change the course of a child’s life.
