Episode 19.1: Fertility and Metabolic Health - Deep Dive DiscussionThe $21 billion fertility industry doesn't want you to understand enzyme kinetics. Biospark Health research assistants Sarah Chen (metabolic biochemistry) and Marcus Thompson (evolutionary biology) dismantle the fertility industry with 68 minutes of hard biochemistry, documented research, and mechanisms your reproductive endocrinologist never learned. This isn't theory. This is documented science that explains why 300+ w...

"Unexplained infertility." That's what they told Sarah after $50K in treatments failed. But her ovaries weren't old. Her metabolism was cold. Body temperature: 96.8°F. Doing everything "right" - keto, fasting, CrossFit 5x/week. Four months after eating MORE food and raising her temp to 98.4°F? Pregnant naturally at 39. Dr. Steve Presciutti exposes why the $21 billion fertility industry is treating symptoms while ignoring the root cause: you cannot make progesterone when your body temperature ...

Could the root cause of your chronic fatigue, autoimmune disease, or even heart condition be hiding in your mouth? In this deep dive episode, we uncover the terrifying research showing that 70-90% of all chronic medical issues originate from oral pathology. We expose the buried work of Dr. Weston Price and the modern validation by Dr. Boyd Haley, whose lab found 100% of root canal teeth are toxic, blocking cellular energy production by 93%. Discover the shocking link between root canals and h...

"Why Your Teeth Are the Window to Your Metabolism" Shocking revelation: 70-90% of chronic diseases originate in your mouth. Dr. Steve Presciutti exposes the hidden connection between dental health and metabolic dysfunction, revealing why root canals may be the #1 cause of heart attacks and how chronic dental infections are destroying your energy production at the cellular level. Discover the University of Kentucky research showing 100% of root canal teeth are toxic, the cancer-dental connecti...

The Minnesota Starvation Experiment: What 1,570 Calories Did to 36 Healthy Men (And What It's Doing to You) In 1944, researchers restricted healthy men to 1,570 calories daily. Their hearts shrank 30%. Their livers to half normal size. Their metabolic rate crashed 40%. Today? Millions of women eat less than this and call it "healthy." Biospark Health research assistants Sarah Chen and Marcus Thompson take you deep into the biochemistry the fitness industry doesn't want you to see. Why eating ...

Part 3 of 3: The Minnesota Starvation Experiment Series Finale. The Minnesota Starvation Experiment didn't just document destruction - it proved complete metabolic recovery is possible. Dr. Steve Presciutti reveals the 58-week recovery protocol that restored these men's metabolisms: why Minnesota Starvation Experiment subjects gained 15 pounds of water initially, why the body creates "metabolic insurance" through temporary fat storage, and the exact biomarkers that predict success. From a 62-...

Part 2 of 3: The Minnesota Starvation Experiment Series. The Minnesota Starvation Experiment revealed a shocking 40% metabolism crash on 1,570 calories, but the recovery data changes everything about weight loss. Dr. Steve Presciutti destroys the metabolism myths keeping millions trapped: why the Minnesota Starvation Experiment proves high-protein diets backfire, why intermittent fasting recreates starvation physiology, and why temperature and pulse predict metabolic health better than blood ...

Part 1 of 3: The Minnesota Starvation Experiment Series. In 1944, the Minnesota Starvation Experiment documented what happens when healthy men eat 1,570 calories daily: hearts shrunk by 30%, livers reduced to 54% of normal size, intestinal walls so thin researchers could "read print through them." Today, millions follow the exact same calorie restrictions that researchers called torture, thinking they're being healthy. Dr. Steve Presciutti exposes how modern diet culture recreates the Minneso...

The Healing Weight Paradox: Why Your Body DEMANDS You Gain Weight Before It Lets You Lose It You're eating more, doing everything "right"... and the scale is going UP? You came to the right place. This isn't failure - it's cellular resurrection in action. Sarah Chen and Marcus Thompson unpack the science behind Dr. Presciutti's game-changing episode on why initial weight gain during metabolic recovery isn't just normal - it's mandatory for healing. Here's what's actually happening when that n...

Episode 14: The Healing Weight Paradox - Why Your Scale Is About to Betray You (And Why That's Actually Good News) You're about to eat 2,000+ calories, gain 10 pounds in two weeks, and it's going to be the best thing that ever happened to your metabolism. Dr. Steve Presciutti exposes the truth that's helped hundreds of his patients finally escape diet prison: those first 5-20 pounds you gain when you start eating real food again? That's not fat. That's your liver desperately refilling glycoge...

Deep Dive Episode 13.1: The Hair Loss Energy Crisis - A Research Discussion Sarah Chen and Marcus Thompson expose the metabolic truth behind hair loss that the pharmaceutical industry desperately wants to hide. Your follicles aren't dying - they're energy-starved. Shocking research revealed: Journal of Steroid Biochemistry (2020) found PERMANENT neurosteroid alterations years after stopping finasteride. Journal of Investigative Dermatology (2016) proved cortisol directly triggers hair loss by...

Episode 13: Hair Loss - It's Not Genetic, It's Energetic Dr. Presciutti demolishes the DHT myth and reveals why millions are destroying their hormones with finasteride for nothing. The truth? Your follicles aren't sensitive to hormones - they're starving for cellular energy. Shocking revelations: Hair follicles are among your body's most metabolically active tissues. When your temperature drops below 97.8°F, they literally shut down to conserve energy. Studies show balding men have higher cor...

Deep Dive Episode 12.1: The Coffee Paradox - A Deep Dive Research Discussion Sarah Chen and Marcus Thompson from Biospark Health's research team dissect the biochemistry of why your morning coffee ritual might be destroying your metabolism - or supercharging it. They expose the shocking findings: British Journal of Nutrition (2020) showed black coffee before breakfast increases blood glucose response by 50%. But that same coffee WITH food? Profound metabolic support. PLOS ONE (2014) proved co...

In this game-changing episode, Dr. Presciutti reveals why the SAME cup of coffee can either boost your metabolism or send your cortisol through the roof - and the shocking difference comes down to timing and what you eat with it. Discover why Ray Peat called fasted coffee consumption a "metabolic emergency," why studies show coffee drinkers live longer and have less cancer (when they do it RIGHT), and the simple protocol that transformed hundreds of our clients from coffee-crashed to energize...

Research Exposed: Biospark Scientists Demolish Omega-3 Myth with 48 Minutes of Hardcore Biochemistry Sarah Chen (metabolic biochemistry) and Marcus Thompson (evolutionary biology) go where mainstream medicine fears to tread in this research-heavy companion to Episode 11.

The 'Heart Healthy' Supplement That's Killing You: Why Fish Oil INCREASES Mortality by 18% (Shocking Research Exposed) What if everything your cardiologist told you about omega-3s was backwards? In this explosive episode, Dr. Steve Presciutti, MD exposes the $60 billion fish oil scam that's literally destroying your cells from the inside out. Citing the buried DART-2 trial showing 18% increased cardiac death in heart patients taking fish oil, and the SELECT trial revealing 71% increased prost...

Your Body Temperature is 97.2°F? That's Not Normal - That's Metabolic Decline. Stanford researchers confirmed what we've been screaming about: human body temperature has plummeted a full degree since the 1860s. While mainstream medicine quietly lowered the "normal" range to accommodate this crisis, we're here to tell you the truth. And more importantly, what to do about it. In this research-packed deep dive, Biospark Health's research assistants expose: Why the Q10 biochemical principle means...

EPISODE 10: The Temperature Test Dr. Steve Presciutti reveals why 98.6°F is a lie and how your morning temperature exposes metabolic dysfunction your doctor can't see. In this game-changing 33-minute episode, the Harvard-trained MD who's transformed thousands shows you the single most powerful health metric that costs twelve dollars at CVS and takes thirty seconds to use. The David Case Study: 42 years old. CrossFit athlete. "Perfect" labs: TSH 2.5 ("normal"), testosterone 450 ("age appropria...
