Are your supplements silently damaging your liver and sabotaging your metabolism? In this eye-opening episode, Lisa sits down with health expert Sara Banta to expose the dark side of today's supplement overload — from Amazon knockoffs to trendy peptides and GLP-1 medications. Sara shares her personal health crisis, when her liver enzymes skyrocketed to dangerous levels, and explains why liver health is the true foundation of fat loss, hormone balance, thyroid function, and energy. They break down iodine deficiency, copper imbalance, hair loss, food noise, fatty liver disease, and why weight-loss drugs don't fix the root cause. If you're taking handfuls of supplements, struggling with metabolism, or wondering whether peptides and NAD are right for you — this conversation will shift your perspective.     👉 Subscribe to the Lisa Fischer Said Podcast, join the newsletter at https://lisafischersaid.com/podcast/, and follow @lisafischersaid for more.     Here's where to find Sara Banta:   Website:  https://acceleratedhealthproducts.com/Lisafischersaid Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/acceleratedhealthproducts/ Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/acceleratedhealthproducts/ YouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/@AcceleratedHealthSaraBanta     Here are more ways you can connect with Lisa:   Website:  lisafischersaid.com Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/lisafischersaid/ Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/lisafischersaid/ Health Coaching:  https://lisafischersaid.com/healthcoaching/ Lisa Fischer Said Academy:  https://lisafischersaid.com/academy/     Support our wonderful sponsors:   Ralston Family Farms:  https://www.ralstonfamilyfarms.com/ Akel's Carpet One:  https://www.akelscarpetone.com/ David's Beef:  https://davidsbeef.com/ Marlsgate:  https://marlsgate.com     The Lisa Fischer Said Podcast is produced by https://clantoncreative.com/

What if your bloodwork is "normal"—but your health isn't optimized?     Lisa Fischer welcomes Regan Archibald back to explore how peptides are redefining longevity, metabolic health, and immune regulation. Instead of waiting for disease, Regan shares how comprehensive lab analysis can identify subtle imbalances in insulin, ferritin, thyroid antibodies, ApoB, and inflammatory markers—then match those findings with targeted peptide therapy.     They break down how peptides turn genes on and off, support muscle preservation, enhance neuroplasticity, improve sleep cycles, regulate stress hormones, and reduce systemic inflammation. The conversation also tackles safety, FDA regulation, compounding pharmacies, and why buying research peptides online can be risky. This episode is for anyone curious about epigenetics, advanced lab testing, and personalized health optimization beyond GLP-1 trends.     Link to the Little Rock Event: Link to event: https://agelessfuture.com/summit-26-03-20-little-rock/     👉 Subscribe to the Lisa Fischer Said Podcast, join the newsletter at https://lisafischersaid.com/podcast/, and follow @lisafischersaid for more.     Here's where to find Regan Archibald:   Website:  https://agelessfuture.com/ Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/AgelessFutureHealth/ Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/ageless.future/ YouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/@Ageless.Future     Here are more ways you can connect with Lisa:   Website:  lisafischersaid.com Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/lisafischersaid/ Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/lisafischersaid/ Health Coaching:  https://lisafischersaid.com/healthcoaching/ Lisa Fischer Said Academy:  https://lisafischersaid.com/academy/     Support our wonderful sponsors:   Ralston Family Farms:  https://www.ralstonfamilyfarms.com/ Akel's Carpet One:  https://www.akelscarpetone.com/ David's Beef:  https://davidsbeef.com/ Marlsgate:  https://marlsgate.com     The Lisa Fischer Said Podcast is produced by https://clantoncreative.com/

What if chronic illness isn't permanent—and your body is far more adaptable than you've been told?   In this powerful episode of Lisa Fischer Said, Lisa sits down with Dr. Aaron Hartman to unpack how epigenetics, nutrition, and personalized medicine are rewriting what we believe about "incurable" diagnoses. Drawing from his daughter's extraordinary healing journey and decades of clinical experience, Dr. Hartman explains why genetics load the gun—but environment pulls the trigger.   You'll learn why conventional medicine often overlooks root causes, how inflammation, trauma, and toxin exposure shape long-term health, and why one-size-fits-all treatments fail so many patients. From gut health and glutathione to GLP-1 medications and muscle loss, this conversation bridges functional medicine and real-world clinical wisdom—without dogma.     If you've ever been told "this runs in your family," struggled with chronic symptoms, or felt dismissed by the healthcare system, this episode offers clarity, empowerment, and science-backed hope.     👉 Subscribe to the Lisa Fischer Said Podcast, join the newsletter at https://lisafischersaid.com/podcast/, and follow @lisafischersaid for more.     Here's where to find Dr. Hartman:   Website:  https://richmondfunctionalmedicine.com/ Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/RVAintegrative/ Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/aaronhartmanmd YouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/c/AaronHartmanMD   Find Information on Dr. Hartman's Book Here: https://uncurablebook.com/     Here are more ways you can connect with Lisa:   Website:  lisafischersaid.com Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/lisafischersaid/ Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/lisafischersaid/ Health Coaching:  https://lisafischersaid.com/healthcoaching/ Lisa Fischer Said Academy:  https://lisafischersaid.com/academy/     Support our wonderful sponsors:   Ralston Family Farms:  https://www.ralstonfamilyfarms.com/ Akel's Carpet One:  https://www.akelscarpetone.com/ David's Beef:  https://davidsbeef.com/ Marlsgate:  https://marlsgate.com     The Lisa Fischer Said Podcast is produced by https://clantoncreative.com/

Is infertility becoming a global epidemic—and are we asking the wrong questions about fertility?     In this eye-opening conversation, Lisa sits down with internationally recognized fertility expert Dr. Gabriela Rosa to unpack the real data behind infertility rates, IVF success statistics, and the rising cost of getting pregnant. Dr. Rosa explains why fertility is a "team sport," how male factor infertility contributes more than most couples realize, and why IVF often bypasses the true root cause.     They also dive into PCOS, insulin resistance, weight training, Ozempic, environmental toxins, and the powerful mindset shift of "act pregnant now to get pregnant later."

Biological aging doesn't have to match your birth certificate—and that truth could change everything.     In this episode of The Lisa Fischer Said Podcast, Lisa sits down with Dr. Mark Sherwood to unpack how biological age, circadian rhythm, and metabolic health determine how long—and how well—we live. Dr. Sherwood explains why Americans are "living longer but dying slower," how food timing impacts hormones and cortisol, and why eating after sunset may be accelerating aging.     They dive into intermittent fasting, insulin resistance, food noise, GLP-1 medications like Ozempic, and why weight loss alone is the wrong goal. Dr. Sherwood also breaks down biological age testing, peptides, inflammation, muscle loss, and how to extend health-span—not just lifespan.
