The Dr. Chad Larson Podcast
The Dr. Chad Larson Podcast is a health and performance podcast for people who feel like they’re doing everything right — eating better, exercising, trying every diet — yet their body still won’t respond.
Hosted by Dr. Chad Larson, a dual-trained doctor with years of clinical experience in metabolic and hormonal health, this show focuses on fixing the root metabolic systems that control energy, fat storage, hormones, and long-term health.
Instead of chasing diets or hacks, each episode helps you:
*Restore insulin sensitivity and metabolic flexibility
*Understand why weight loss stalls and energy crashes happen
*Reset circadian and hormonal timing that drives hunger and fatigue
*Lower metabolic age and reduce disease risk
*Apply simple, science-based actions that actually work in real life
This podcast is for frustrated, overweight, or metabolically stuck adults who want clarity, control, and sustainable results — not another plan that fails.
You’re not broken.
Your metabolism is just out of sync.
This podcast shows you how to turn it back.

Inflammation, Gut Health, and Why Your Metabolism Feels “Stuck”
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
If you’re eating clean, exercising, and still feeling exhausted, inflamed, or stuck — this episode is for you.
In this conversation, we explore why metabolism often stalls even when people “do everything right.” The missing piece is usually chronic, low-grade inflammation — especially when it begins in the gut.
You’ll learn:
- How inflammation acts as a metabolic brake
- Why the body shifts into survival mode when it senses threat
- What “leaky gut” really means in practical terms
- How bacterial fragments like LPS disrupt insulin signaling
- Why most food reactions aren’t allergies
- Why exercise can backfire when the body is inflamed
- How to reframe plateaus without blame
Your metabolism isn’t broken.
It’s protecting you.
And once you remove the threat — it remembers how to work.
