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.

Stop Managing Your Body — Start Expanding Your Capacity
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Most people are trying to control their body into health.
Track more.
Restrict more.
Measure more.
But tighter control doesn’t create resilience.
It often creates fragility.
In this episode, Dr. Chad breaks down the physiological difference between control and capacity — and why lasting metabolic health comes from expanding what your body can handle, not micromanaging it harder.
You’ll learn:
- Why chronic restriction triggers metabolic adaptation
- How muscle functions as metabolic tissue
- Why cortisol can elevate fasting glucose
- What metabolic flexibility actually means
- How mitochondria determine your energy capacity
- Why real health is about margin, not micromanagement
If your health only works when conditions are perfect, you don’t have resilience — you have compliance.
The real question isn’t:
“How can I control my body today?”
It’s:
“How can I expand my capacity this year?”
Health isn’t something you tighten.
It’s something you build.
