From TDOS to Hope: Nutritional Deficits, Toxic Burdens, Real Solutions
Episode 140
Wednesday, 19 November, 2025
Send us a textThe modern health crisis isn’t just about willpower or steps; it’s about an invisible web of toxicity, nutrient gaps, and stress that rewires how our bodies store fat and spend energy. We sit down with author and researcher Peter Greenlaw to map TDOS—Toxicity, Deficiency, Overweight, Stress—and show how these forces collide inside the liver and visceral fat, shaping metabolism, inflammation, and long-term risk.Peter walks us through eye-opening research: microplastics in daily drinks, obesogens that mimic hormones, and the steep decline of nutrient density in common foods. Then we put popular strategies under the microscope. Why does calorie counting often backfire? What happens when GLP-1 medications or time-restricted eating strip away precious lean muscle? Using peer-reviewed human trials, we unpack what the scale can’t tell you—how muscle loss slows metabolism, weakens immunity, and sets the stage for rebound weight gain.Instead of hype, we offer a practical, evidence-based plan. Learn how protein pacing safeguards lean mass and energy, and how nutritionally supported fasting differs from plain restriction by delivering targeted nutrients while allowing metabolic reset. We talk real-world sourcing to counter nutritional deficiency and share ways to assess progress beyond a number: waist, labs, strength, sleep, and daily vitality. The goal isn’t to get smaller at any cost—it’s to get stronger, clearer, and more resilient.If you’re ready to trade noise for nuance and quick fixes for outcomes, this conversation will help you rethink your health strategy from the inside out.
