    Key supplements covered include:

    Magnesium, crucial for muscle function, heart health, bone strength, and quality sleep, with different forms offering targeted benefits. Whole-food plant concentrates provide concentrated phytonutrients that research shows can boost immunity, cardiovascular health, and antioxidant protection.

    We also examine probiotics for gut microbiome balance and electrolytes for proper hydration and cellular function. The conversation emphasizes:

    • The importance of third-party testing for quality assurance
    • Understanding bioavailability for maximum absorption
    • Personalizing supplementation based on individual needs

  • The TRUTH About Fat Loss & Mistakes You Could Be Making
    Mar 5 2025

    Episode 16 of The Get Better Not Older Show breaks down the truth about fat loss, exposing common myths and clarifying what really works. Dr. Rob and Shannon Jones cut through the confusion caused by online health “experts” who present information in silos, often misleading people with oversimplified or sensationalized claims.

    At the core of fat loss is a calorie deficit—burning more calories than consumed. However, achieving and maintaining that deficit isn’t just about eating less. Metabolic health, stress, sleep, and food quality all play critical roles. Chronic stress and high cortisol levels can slow fat loss, poor sleep can increase hunger by 30%, and an imbalanced microbiome can make weight loss much harder. The type of food eaten also matters. Highly processed foods, sugar, and inflammatory seed oils can disrupt hormones, spike blood sugar, and create cycles of cravings, making it difficult to sustain a calorie deficit.

    Shannon explains how balancing meals with protein, healthy fats, fiber, and nutrient-dense carbs helps regulate appetite, maintain energy, and prevent blood sugar spikes. Exercise, particularly zone two activity like brisk walking, is key for fat metabolism and overall health. Strength training and HIIT workouts have benefits but should be used wisely to avoid excessive cortisol spikes that can hinder fat loss.

    Beyond losing weight, the real goal is long-term health. Fat loss alone is meaningless if it comes at the cost of metabolic damage. The Get Better Not Older Protocol, available at HeyDrRob.com, provides a sustainable approach to weight loss, muscle building, and overall well-being. Aging doesn’t have to mean decline—with the right choices, anyone can stay strong, mobile, and healthy for life.

  • The Controversial Truth About Seed Oils & What To Replace Them With
    Feb 16 2025

    Episode 15 of the GBNO Show dives into the truth about seed oils—how they’re processed, why they’re everywhere, and the real impact on your health. Despite being promoted as "heart-healthy," these oils—canola, corn, soy, sunflower, safflower, grapeseed, cottonseed, and rice bran—are highly processed, oxidized, and linked to inflammation and disease. The problem isn’t the seeds themselves but how the oils are extracted, refined, and heated, creating harmful byproducts that continue to damage cells long after consumption.

    The food industry pushes these oils because they’re cheap and have a long shelf life, but emerging research challenges their safety. Experts warn that oxidation, linoleic acid instability, and the use of chemical solvents like hexane make these oils a major contributor to chronic illness. Even "expeller-pressed" or "organic" versions don’t eliminate the risks.

    The good news? There are better options. Avocado oil, butter, ghee, lard, coconut oil, and olive oil are more stable and far less inflammatory. Restaurants and processed foods make avoiding seed oils difficult, but checking labels and choosing whole, unprocessed foods can help.

    Bottom line: Seed oils aren’t just another ingredient—they’re a hidden health hazard. Reducing them in your diet is a crucial step toward better long-term health. Stay informed, make better choices, and as always, get better, not older.
