In this episode of Medicine 3.0, Dr. Catherine Isaac sits down with Dr. Rebecca Berens, a board-certified family medicine physician and International Board Certified Lactation Consultant, to explore a topic that is underdiagnosed, often misunderstood, and highly prevalent: adult eating disorders.

Dr. Berens shares her unique clinical perspective as well as her personal experience with disordered eating. Together, they unpack:

• The difference between disordered eating and diagnosed eating disorders

• Common misconceptions that lead to missed diagnoses in adults

• How weight bias and cultural norms shape care (and miscare)

• Red flags clinicians should recognize

• The medical complications of chronic restriction, including bone and muscle loss

• The overlap between eating disorders, GI symptoms, ADHD, PCOS, and more

• What truly evidence-based, weight-inclusive care looks like

• Where patients and providers can turn for trustworthy resources

Whether you're a provider looking to improve your approach or someone navigating your own relationship with food, this conversation is full of insight, compassion, and practical takeaways.

Join host Dr. Catherine Isaac as she speaks with orthopedic surgeon and sports medicine specialist Dr. Jocelyn Wittstein about the often overlooked musculoskeletal impacts of menopause. Learn how declining estrogen levels affect joints, bones, and muscles, contributing to conditions like frozen shoulder (which predominantly affects women aged 40-60), accelerated arthritis, and faster bone density loss. Dr. Wittstein shares treatment approaches, the importance of strength training during menopause, and lifestyle modifications to support musculoskeletal health. Whether you're experiencing unexplained joint pain or want to be proactive about your bone health, this episode provides valuable insights into managing this under-discussed aspect of menopause.

In this enlightening conversation, Bionic Health's Dr. Jared Pelo sits down with Dr. William Evans, Professor of Human Nutrition at UC Berkeley and pioneering researcher in the field of sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss).

What You'll Learn:

• Why muscle mass might be the most important predictor of healthy aging
• The revolutionary D3 creatine dilution method that accurately measures functional muscle mass
• How much muscle is needed to maintain mobility as we age
• The strong connection between muscle mass and cognitive function
• Practical strategies to maintain and build muscle at any age

Dr. Evans shares groundbreaking research showing that muscle is truly "the currency of aging," affecting everything from mobility and fall risk to cognitive function and insulin sensitivity. Discover why resistance training is effective even for 90-year-olds and why adequate protein intake becomes increasingly important as we age.

This conversation offers valuable insights for anyone looking to optimize their health through evidence-based approaches to muscle maintenance - a key factor in Bionic Health's mission to enable optimal health for all.
