- The lifestyle intensive: https://lifestyle.medgeeks.co/
Muscle does more than move you; it helps shape how you age. Explore the connection between exercise, mitochondria, and metabolic health, and learn how staying active helps preserve strength and function over time.
"Use it or lose it" starts at the cellular level. - The Metabolic Roadmap: https://roadmap.medgeeks.co/
Seed oils may be the most polarized topic in nutrition.
One side calls them a primary driver of inflammation, obesity, mitochondrial dysfunction, and chronic disease. The other points to lower LDL and observational data linking higher linoleic acid levels to better cardiovascular outcomes.
So are they harmful? Are they safe?
Or is the answer more nuanced than either side wants to admit?
Truth is, both sides are wrong. Let's dive in. - Take the free Metabolic Capacity Assessment: https://medgeeks.co/get-started/metabolic-health/

Food is more than calories and macros. It supplies the signals and raw materials your body needs to function, repair, and recover. Here are 10 practical nutrition principles for better metabolic health, body composition, and long-term resilience. - Free Metabolic Capacity Assessment 👉 https://medgeeks.co/get-started/metabolic-health/
Body Composition Workshop 👉 https://medgeeks.co/workshops/90-day-fat-loss/
I stopped doing cardio and lost 50 pounds. It turned out cardio was never necessary to lose fat or change my body composition. In this podcast, I break down why you don't need cardio for fat loss, and the two things you should focus on instead to lose fat and build muscle. - Pro bono mitochondrial disease health coaching: https://medgeeks.co/consult/primary-mitochondrial-disease/
Free metabolic capacity assessment: https://medgeeks.co/get-started/metabolic-health/
We've been looking at chronic disease all wrong. In this video, I distill years of metabolic research into 20 minutes. You'll learn why conditions that look unrelated often share the same root, why your labs can read "normal" while you still don't feel well, and why so many treatments move a marker without actually restoring the person.
