Treated with Dr. Sara

Entrepreneur, author, and wellness advocate Jeff Krasno joins Treated for a deep and inspiring conversation about metabolic health, longevity, and the power of good stress. Jeff shares his personal health transformation—from battling pre-diabetes, weight gain, and brain fog to reversing metabolic dysfunction through lifestyle medicine.

In this episode, we explore: why balance is the foundation of health, the truth about pre-diabetes and why so many people are undiagnosed, the connection between childhood trauma, stress and chronic disease, and why social connection is the ultimate bio-hack for longevity. 

Jeff also unpacks key insights from his book Good Stress, explaining why we need more hormetic stress (cold, heat, fasting, exercise) to unlock metabolic flexibility, mental clarity, and emotional resilience. If you’re ready to take control of your health and embrace the right kind of stress, this episode is a must-listen!

Schuyler Grant joins Treated with Dr. Sara Szal (formerly Dr. Sara Gottfried) for a raw, hilarious, and deeply honest conversation about hormones, menopause, and why midlife is the most powerful chapter of your life. Meet Schuyler Grant: Yoga teacher, retreat leader, and my co-conspirator in rebranding menopause. In this episode, we dive into 100+ symptoms of perimenopause, how to manage them, why the medical system is failing women, and why we need to rebrand menopause altogether. 

Schuyler and I also reveal what really happens at our sold-out Hot for Hormones retreats at Commune—and why women are flying across the world to be in the room. Plus, we explore the magic of Costa Rica’s Osa Peninsula and wrap up with a guided breathwork session that will shift your nervous system in real time.

If you’ve ever felt like your body is betraying you in midlife, this episode will change the way you think about aging, metabolism, and your next chapter.

We also explore the power of intuition, the patriarchy of medicine, and how to reclaim your identity beyond your career, your family, or your hormone levels. Settle in for an unfiltered, soul-stirring conversation you don’t want to miss.
