  • 127. Genetic Based Lipid Disorders You Need to Know About: Part 1 Phytosterolemia with Dr. Tom Dayspring

    127. Genetic Based Lipid Disorders You Need to Know About: Part 1 Phytosterolemia with Dr. Tom Dayspring
    2026/06/08

    In this episode of Everyday Epigenetics: Raw. Real. Relatable., Susan Robbins is joined by renowned expert lipidologist Dr. Tom Dayspring for Part 1 of a special two-part series on genetically driven lipid disorders. Together, they explore phytosterolemia (formerly known as sitosterolemia), a little-known but potentially serious genetic condition that affects how the body absorbs and processes plant sterols. While often overlooked in conventional healthcare, this disorder can contribute to elevated cholesterol markers, cardiovascular risk, xanthomas, kidney issues, and other health concerns when left undetected.

    Dr. Dayspring breaks down the complex science of cholesterol absorption, plant sterols, and the ABCG5 and ABCG8 genes in a way that is easy to understand. Susan shares what she has observed through years of genetic testing and coaching, including how frequently she is seeing these gene variants appear in practice and why many people are being missed by standard testing. This conversation highlights the importance of personalized medicine, advanced lipid testing, and understanding the unique ways genetics can influence long-term health outcomes.

    In this episode:

    • What phytosterolemia is and why it is often missed
    • The difference between cholesterol and plant sterols
    • How the ABCG5 and ABCG8 genes regulate sterol absorption
    • Why some people absorb significantly more cholesterol than others
    • The connection between plant sterol hyper-absorption and cardiovascular disease risk
    • Why standard cholesterol testing may miss important clues
    • The role of sitosterol and campesterol testing
    • How phytosterols can impact cell membranes, kidneys, joints, blood cells, and other tissues
    • The difference between heterozygous and homozygous loss-of-function gene variants
    • Why many patients are told their cholesterol is "fine" when deeper issues may exist
    • The importance of ApoB, non-HDL cholesterol, and advanced lipid testing
    • Why some cholesterol-lowering therapies work better than others depending on genetics
    • How lifestyle, nutrition, and personalized interventions can support lipid health
    • When to consider working with a lipid specialist


    If you have a family history of heart disease, unexplained cholesterol elevations, or have been told your numbers are "normal" despite ongoing concerns, or if use of statins hasn’t helped yu, this episode offers valuable insight into a genetic factor that is rarely discussed but can have a significant impact on long-term health.

  • 126. Blue Light, Melatonin & The Modern Sleep Crisis with Sam Nahna

    126. Blue Light, Melatonin & The Modern Sleep Crisis with Sam Nahna
    2026/06/01

    Blue light is everywhere… but most people have no idea what it’s actually doing to their bodies.

    In this episode of the Everyday Epigenetics: Raw. Real. Relatable podcast, Susan sits down with Sam Nahna from Block Blue Light to unpack the real science behind blue light exposure, circadian rhythms, melatonin production, sleep disruption, and why modern lighting may be affecting your health more than you realize.

    From doom scrolling at night to overhead LED lights, Sam explains how constant exposure to artificial blue light impacts sleep quality, recovery, focus, mood, and long-term wellbeing. The conversation dives into the differences between clear, yellow, amber, and red blue light blocking lenses, why cheap “blue light glasses” often don’t work, and how to create a more sleep-supportive environment without completely disconnecting from modern life.

    Susan also shares her own experience using red light glasses and how dramatically they’ve helped her wind down, improve sleep quality, and support her natural rhythms during longer summer evenings.

    This episode is packed with practical, easy-to-understand information for anyone struggling with sleep, screen fatigue, nighttime stimulation, or feeling “wired but tired” at the end of the day.

    Key Takeaways:

    • What blue light actually is and how it affects the body and brain
    • Why artificial light exposure at night disrupts melatonin and circadian rhythms
    • The difference between clear, yellow, amber, and red blue light blocking lenses
    • How poor sleep impacts recovery, mental health, hormones, and overall health
    • Simple ways to reduce blue light exposure and create a healthier nighttime environment

  • 125. Fear-Based Nutrition and Food Myths with Dr. Gil Carvalho

    125. Fear-Based Nutrition and Food Myths with Dr. Gil Carvalho
    2026/05/25
    In this episode of Everyday Epigenetics: Raw. Real. Relatable., Susan Robbins sits down with physician, researcher, and science communicator Dr. Gil Carvalho for a powerful conversation about nutrition misinformation, influencer-driven fear, and what the science actually says about cholesterol, saturated fat, seed oils, oats, and popular diet trends. Dr. Gil Carvalho, founder of the Nutrition Made Simple YouTube channel, is known for breaking down complex health research into practical, understandable information without the fear tactics and sensationalism that dominate so much of the wellness world.Together, Susan and Dr. Gil unpack some of the biggest myths circulating online, including the idea that “higher cholesterol is always better,” that oats are harmful, and that seed oils are toxic. They also discuss why individualized health matters, how genetics influence risk factors like ApoB and Lp(a), and why lab work should guide decisions more than viral social media claims. This episode is a grounded, evidence-based conversation designed to help listeners think critically, ask better questions, and become stronger advocates for their own health.In this episode:Why high cholesterol should not automatically be dismissed as “healthy”The difference between cholesterol levels, ApoB, particle size, and Lp(a)How misinformation spreads through influencer cultureWhy oats are not the “worst breakfast you can eat”The truth about seed oils and inflammationHow genetics impact cardiovascular risk and dietary responsesWhy one-size-fits-all nutrition advice often backfiresThe importance of personalized nutrition and individualized lab workWhy fear-based wellness messaging can create more harm than goodHow social media oversimplifies complex health topicsThe role of lifestyle, stress, sleep, movement, and environment in long-term healthWhy learning to interpret science critically matters more than following trendsDr. Gil CarvalhoGil Carvalho is a Portuguese physician, research scientist, and science communicator known for his work in nutrition, longevity, and evidence-based health education.Born in Portugal, he earned his MD from the University of Lisbon and later obtained a PhD in Biology from the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), where he trained under pioneering geneticist Seymour Benzer.Carvalho's research spans genetics, molecular biology, nutrition, behavior, aging, and neuroscience, with contributions including the identification of genetic and nutritional mechanisms underlying longevity; his work has been cited over 4,130 times as of 2023 according to Google Scholar.He has collaborated with neuroscientist Antonio Damasio on neural signal transmission and the basis of interoception, and his publications appear in prestigious outlets such as Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences and Nature Methods.In addition to his academic career at the University of Southern California, Carvalho is a prominent science communicator, founding the YouTube channel Nutrition Made Simple in 2018, which has amassed over a million monthly viewers by simplifying complex dietary science for lay audiences.He contributes to organizations including the Institute of Limbic Health, and his expert insights have been featured in media like Quanta Magazine and ScienceDaily.Carvalho has received awards such as the DeLill Nasser Award for Professional Development in Genetics and a Mathers Foundation grant, underscoring his impact in bridging clinical practice, rigorous research, and public health education.RESOURCES:Connect with Dr. Gil Carvalho:Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/@NutritionMadeSimpletwitter.com/NutritionMadeS3facebook.com/DrGilCarvalhotiktok.com/@nutrition.made.simpleinstagram.com/gilcarvalho.mdhttps://healthyawakening.co/2026/05/25/episode125/Connect with Susan: https://healthyawakening.co/Visit the website: healthyawakening.co/podcastFind listening links here: https://healthyawakening.co/linksP.S.
