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.

Avoid These 4 Wellness Traps
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Most people struggling with their metabolism aren’t unhealthy because they ignore health advice — they’re unhealthy because they follow too much of it.
In this episode, we explore The Wellness Trap: how "clean" eating, consistent training, and relentless optimization can quietly undermine metabolic health when they turn into chronic under-fueling, recovery debt, and constant physiological stress.
You’ll learn:
- Why “doing everything right” often leads to stalled fat loss and low energy
- How under-fueling and over-training signal the body to slow down
- When optimization and tracking increase stress instead of resilience
- Why more discipline doesn’t fix a stressed metabolism
- How to shift from control to capacity, and from optimization to interpretation
This episode is especially for high-functioning, disciplined people who feel stuck despite doing all the “right” things.
If that sounds like you, this conversation may change how you think about health entirely.
