Talking Nutrition
Talking Nutrition is the podcast for women who did everything right and stopped seeing results. Hosted by Johan Vesters, online nutrition and functional health coach, and founder of Odyssey Coaching Systems, the show digs into what is actually going on under the surface: metabolism, fat loss, thyroid, hormones, gut health, blood work, and the mindset and behavior change that makes results stick. No crash diets, no quick fixes, no fear-mongering. Just education, real client stories, and honest conversations, so you can understand your own body, ask better questions, and take ownership of your health.

Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode of Talking Nutrition, Johan is joined by Mike Kesthely. Mike is a firefighter paramedic and a functional health, performance, and nutrition coach. You'll learn about the challenges of shift work, the effects on health, circadian rhythm, and longevity, and how to optimize your health while working irregular hours. Mike and Johan also discuss the effects of sleep deprivation on insulin sensitivity and testosterone levels in both men and women, basic habits and practices that can help mitigate the damage, and the truth about supplements that supposedly 'boost' your testosterone. And lastly, you'll learn why blood work and checking your hormones as a preventative health measure is key for long-term health, and who would be a proper candidate for testosterone replacement therapy (TRT).
