Trailer: Eating Less, Training More, and Still Gaining After 40
A short preview of this episode.
Eating Less, Training More, and Still Gaining After 40
Dr. Sasha Rose breaks down why eating less and training more stops working after 40, what actually changes in a woman's body through perimenopause, and what protects strength and metabolism instead.
Many women describe it the same way: the body seems to change overnight, and the only guidance on offer is to cut calories, do more cardio, and accept it as normal aging. Dr. Rose walks through why muscle is central to metabolic health, what shifting hormones do to body composition, why under-eating and over-training can make things worse, and which markers are worth watching.

Statins Work. The Question Is Whether You Need One.
Colin Renaud, PA-C walks through how statins are prescribed, what a cholesterol panel does and does not tell you about your heart, and why two people with the same number can carry very different risk.
Statins are one of the most prescribed medications in the world, and for some people they are exactly the right call. The question this episode asks is narrower: how do you know whether you are one of those people, and what else belongs in the picture alongside the number on your panel.
In this episode:
What a standard cholesterol...Peptides, GLP-1s, Hormones: Sorting Hype From What Works
Colin Renaud, PA-C works through peptides, GLP-1s, hormone therapy, NAD and the rest of what is filling your feed, and sorts the ones with something behind them from the ones that will only cost you money.
Peptides, GLP-1s, hormone therapy, NAD, longevity supplements, biohacking protocols. Some of them genuinely work, which is exactly what makes this hard to navigate. The question is never whether a thing works for someone. It is whether it does anything for you, given what is actually going on in your body.
In this episode:
The trends patients...Over 40, Normal Testosterone and Still Feeling Terrible
Colin Renaud, PA-C explains why so many men over 40 are told their testosterone is normal and still feel exhausted, foggy and flat.
The lab reference range runs from roughly 300 to 1200. A man at the bottom of that range is inside it, so he is told he is fine. Normal and optimal are not the same thing, and one marker on its own does not describe what is happening. Colin walks through what testosterone actually does, the markers that usually go untested, what drives levels down in the first place, and why testosterone therapy alone often falls short...
The Reason Peptides Did Nothing for You
Colin Renaud, PA-C explains why peptides do nothing for so many people, and what has to be in place before they do anything at all.
Peptides are signaling molecules, not a shortcut. Two people can take the same one and get completely different results, and the difference usually is not the peptide. Colin walks through what they actually do in the body, why the hype outruns the evidence, and the parts of the picture that get skipped: sleep, nutrition, stress, blood sugar and muscle. He also takes live questions from the audience.
In this episode:<...
GLP-1s Explained: Why a Prescription Isn't Enough
Dr. Sasha Rose and Colin Renaud, PA-C get into why a GLP-1 prescription on its own so rarely holds, and what has to sit around it for the results to last.
They walk through what a GLP-1 actually is, why the weight so often comes back when the medication is the whole plan, and the pieces that get skipped in a fifteen minute visit: protein, muscle, sleep, stress, nutrient status, and where a patient is in perimenopause or menopause. They also take live questions from the audience.
In this episode:
The naturally occurring hormone...Your Insulin Is High for Years Before Blood Sugar Moves
In this episode of the Med Matrix Method Podcast, Dr. Sasha Rose, ND, LAc explains why insulin resistance is not a diabetes story, why it builds for years or decades before blood sugar ever looks abnormal, and why the one marker that would show it is not on a standard annual panel.
Insulin is the key, the cell is the lock. Turn that key often enough and the lock wears out. Dr. Rose walks through what that means in practice: why the weight will not move, why the afternoon crash happens, why the fat lands around the...
Cognitive Decline Starts 20 Years Before You Even Notice
In this episode of the Med Matrix Method Podcast, Colin Renaud, PA-C explains why the earliest signs of cognitive decline usually show up decades before anyone thinks to look for them, and why being told "you're just getting older" at 40 is not an answer.
Brain fog. Losing a word mid-sentence. Reading the same paragraph three times. Most people file those under normal life, and sometimes they are. What Colin looks at is whether the pattern is persistent, progressive, and sitting on top of things that show up on labs years earlier: blood sugar dysregulation, inflammation, poor sleep...
Why Your Doctor Can't Order the Test You Asked For
In this episode of the Med Matrix Method Podcast, Colin Renaud, PA-C and Dr. Sasha Rose, ND, LAc explain why the hormone panel or nutrient test you asked for so often gets declined, and what that has to do with how insurance decides which care gets reimbursed. This is about the system, not the people in it. Your provider may agree the test matters and still not be able to order it.
They are careful to say it early and often, so we will say it here too. This is not about blaming your doctor. As Colin...
Time Blindness Isn't Laziness. It's Adult ADHD.
In this episode of the Med Matrix Method Podcast, Colin Renaud, PA-C and Dr. Sasha Rose, ND, LAc take on adult ADHD: why it gets missed for decades, why it is not laziness, and what a root cause approach actually looks at.
Three hours can pass and feel like fifteen minutes. One of Dr. Rose's patients called it time blindness, and it is one of the clearest signs of adult ADHD that almost nobody names out loud. Most people still picture ADHD as a child who cannot sit still. In adults it shows up as internal restlessness...
