Millions Are Predisposed to Alzheimer's and Have No Idea | Dr. Ken Sharlin
Aug 18, 2026 · 1 hr 8 min
Roughly 7.4 million Americans are currently living with Alzheimer's disease, and by the time symptoms show up, the disease has often been building for 10 to 20 years. Add in the roughly one in three Americans carrying the genetic marker tied to higher risk, and the scale of what's coming becomes hard to ignore. Dr. Ken Sharlin doesn't order a test unless it's going to change what he does next. Most of what he needs to know comes from listening first. Some of his MS patients have gone years witho…
Why Aging Accelerates Instead of Moving in a Straight Line | Dr. Jeffrey Gladden
Aug 14, 2026 · 1 hr 1 min
As you get older, you start to notice that aging doesn't move at a steady pace. It picks up speed. And the tools most people reach for to fight it - peptides, hormones, the usual stack - are built to fix a problem that moves in a straight line. A top interventional cardiologist for decades, Dr. Jeffrey Gladden watched his health collapse in his 50s. When a doctor chalked it up to age and offered an antidepressant, he spent two and a half years rebuilding his biology from scratch instead, and tha…
50% of Sudden Cardiac Deaths Happen With No Warning | Dr. Kevin White
Aug 11, 2026 · 1 hr 2 min
In America, sudden cardiac death kills roughly 300,000 to 400,000 people every year. And in nearly half of those cases, there was no diagnosed heart disease beforehand. Meaning, the person looked fine right up until they weren't. Dr. Kevin White spent over two decades in the emergency room watching that pattern repeat itself, treating people his age for problems that had been building for years without anyone catching them. That shift is what pushed him out of reactive medicine and into a practi…
What Happens Inside Your Body After a Stem Cell Injection | Dr. Jeff Gross
Aug 7, 2026 · 1 hr 5 min
In the early 80s, a 14-year-old picked up a magazine and read an article that said if you want a Lamborghini, you should become a neurosurgeon. And if you want more than that, become an entrepreneur. Jeff Gross wanted more than one. After becoming a board-certified neurosurgeon, he spent decades in the operating room before deciding surgery wasn't always the answer he wanted to give his patients. Now, he runs Recellebrate, a regenerative medicine practice built around helping people heal without…
The Heart Disease Risk Your Cholesterol Test Misses | Christopher Davis, MD
Aug 4, 2026 · 1 hr 9 min
For decades, if your cholesterol number came back anywhere below 200, your doctor would tell you it's clear. That's supposed to mean you don't have to worry about a heart attack. As Dr. Christopher Davis explains, not quite. A low number doesn't rule out a blockage. Even if you feel fine, your arteries might not be clean, and that alone could put you on a path toward a heart attack you never saw coming. We examine results from one of Dr. Davis's patients who had a cholesterol reading around 115,…
Why Some World Cup Athletes Are Using GLP-1s | Ashley Koff, RD
Jul 31, 2026 · 1 hr 9 min
If you have talked about weight in the last few years, you’ve had to mention Ozempic, Mounjaro, or any other GLP-1. And of course, you had to agree that GLP-1s are the worst thing to happen to weight loss since someone convinced us that celery has negative calories. But are these medications really the villain everyone makes them out to be? Ashley Koff has been studying GLP-1 and GIP since 2004, long before Ozempic became a household name. She calls these medications hormone replacement therapy…
How This Doctor Runs Three Miles and Benches 200 Pounds at 79 | Dr. Jerry Mixon
Jul 28, 2026 · 1 hr 13 min
Doctors take an oath to care for their patients, but that care rarely extends to themselves. Dr. Jerry Mixon spent 21 years as a country doctor delivering babies and setting bones, and by his late 40s, the job had slowly hollowed him out. He was depressed, overweight, exhausted, and watching his marriage fall apart under the hours. So he decided to test something on himself before he ever offered it to a patient: rebuild every major hormone back to where it stood in his twenties. Now, at 79, he…
Steroids Broke Her Bones Before She Became the Queen of Biohacking | Dr. Lauren Leiva
Ep 225 · Jul 24, 2026 · 1 hr 13 min
As a teenager, Lauren Leiva was diagnosed with Crohn's disease. The steroids doctors put her on broke her bones, changed the shape of her face, and left her looking sick. She was in and out of hospitals for years, treated by a system that was guessing as much as it was healing, and she remembers feeling like an experiment rather than a patient. That experience is the reason she built her entire practice around one idea: do no harm. Now known as "The Queen of Biohacking," Dr. Leiva works with eve…
Can Ketosis Be the Answer to Easy Weight Loss | Ben Azadi
Ep 224 · Jul 21, 2026 · 45 min
Health has been a sensitive topic in the United States for nearly half a century at this point. So the fact that 9 out of 10 Americans are not metabolically healthy is alarming, to say the least. While most people are unaware of this, those who are often try to fix the problem by changing their diet. Sure, that helps, but it usually misses the actual switch that needs to be flipped. And that switch is, of course, insulin. Ben Azadi, a returning guest, has spent years teaching people how to work…
Sitting or Smoking, Which Does More Damage to Your Health | Dr. Alan Rozanski
Ep 223 · Jul 17, 2026 · 1 hr 1 min
Cigarette smoking rates have dropped to historic lows. High-quality generic statins are highly affordable. With all of the advanced diagnostics, effective medications, and a better overall understanding of cardiovascular risk, managing cholesterol is easier than ever. Yet, heart disease still causes roughly 1 in every 3 deaths in the US and is, in fact, the number one cause of death worldwide. For decades, Dr. Alan Rozanski kept seeing patients whose hearts were failing them in ways cholesterol…
Poop Transfers AKA Fecal Microbiota Transfer (FMT) May Reverse Aging | Dr. Shaina Cahill
Ep 222 · Jul 14, 2026 · 1 hr 15 min
Nearly 12 million people are living with Parkinson's disease worldwide, and it's the fastest-growing neurological disorder on the planet. By 2050, that number is expected to more than double to 25 million cases. Researchers are still racing to understand what actually triggers the disease long before a diagnosis ever happens. Shaina Cahill thinks the answer might start somewhere nobody's looking, and that's the gut. Years before a Parkinson's diagnosis, most patients already show the same GI iss…
Your Health May Not Be Optimal Because of this Ancient Survival Switch | Chris Mearns
Ep 221 · Jul 10, 2026 · 1 hr 5 min
About 75% of people are actively trying to cut down on or completely cut out sugar from their diet. That is not surprising, because sugar contributes to serious illnesses such as type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and even cancer. Unfortunately, cutting out every gram of added sugar might not be enough. Even if you manage to avoid sugar completely, your body will still produce fructose from stress, dehydration, alcohol, and high glycemic carbs. That is what Chris Mearns has spent years studying. Ch…
How to Avoid Breaking a Hip as You Grow Older | Dr. John Neustadt
Ep 220 · Jul 7, 2026 · 59 min
A bone fracture happens roughly every 30 seconds. However, most people do not find out their bones are fragile until they are already on the floor. By then, the window to prevent it has usually been open for decades. For women, the lifetime risk of breaking a bone equals the combined risk of breast, uterine, and ovarian cancer. The bone density test most doctors rely on to catch this predicts less than half the people who will fracture. For men, it is even worse: closer to one in five Dr. John N…
How a Keto Diet Can Potentially Help People Get Off Psychiatric Medications | Matthew Bernstein, MD
Ep 219 · Jul 3, 2026 · 1 hr 2 min
Dr. Bernstein is a clinical psychiatrist with 25 years of experience. But when two of his three sons developed autoimmune encephalitis, the conventional medicine he had trusted his entire career had almost nothing to offer. So he went out and found the answers himself. What Dr. Bernstein found made me so interested in sitting down and having a discussion with him. He believes depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorder are not brain chemistry problems. Instead, he thinks these are metabolic disord…
What Can We Learn From the Most Genetically Modified Human Alive? | Liz Parrish
Ep 218 · Jun 30, 2026 · 1 hr 30 min
In 2015, Liz Parrish flew to Colombia and let someone inject an untested gene therapy into her body 150 times. She texted her kids that she loved them before it started. When it was over, she went for nachos. Ten years later, her telomeres are longer than when she started, and she has taken 12 gene therapies in total. Her decade of self-experimentation has produced peer-reviewed data, a growing protocol of gene therapies, and a company training its sights on making biological aging optional. Our…
You Can Fight Prostate Cancer Without Losing What Makes You a Man With Dr. Stephen Petteruti
Ep 217 · Jun 26, 2026 · 1 hr 17 min
Roughly 1 in 8 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime. Most will get a high PSA, go to a urologist, get a biopsy, and end up in surgery or radiation. A 15-year government-funded study published in the New England Journal of Medicine found that none of it changed the death rate. Bringing that research to the table is Dr. Stephen Petteruti, a men's health physician with over 30 years in practice. He thinks there is a better way to handle prostate cancer that can keep men out…
Your Glasses Are Making Your Eyes Lazier and Vision Worse With Dr. Bryce Appelbaum
Ep 216 · Jun 23, 2026 · 1 hr 3 min
Every year, your prescription gets stronger. Every year, your optometrist hands you a new lens and sends you home. Nobody ever asks why it keeps changing. That's the question Dr. Bryce Appelbaum has been asking for two decades. The answer has nothing to do with your eyes. Bryce and I get into why your prescription should not keep getting stronger every year, and what it means for your brain when it does. We talk about how he took his work from kids with learning delays all the way to the NBA,…
How 140 Genes Can Tell You Everything About Your Health With Dr. Sam Shay
Ep 215 · Jun 19, 2026 · 1 hr 1 min
Most people think genetic testing is too complex, too expensive, or too tied to "you have the cancer gene." Dr. Sam Shay says you only need 140 genes out of your 20,000 to understand what's actually driving your health. After nearly 200 episodes, Dr. Sam Shay is back on the show, picking up where we left off in our first conversation about how your genes shape the way your body handles food, stress, and inflammation. This time, we go deeper into the framework that took him from being chronical…
How an Auditor Rewrote the Science of Gut Health and Brain Disease With Martha Carlin
Jun 16, 2026 · 1 hr 7 min
Martha Carlin wasn't a scientist. She was an auditor at one of the largest accounting firms in the world. Then her husband was diagnosed with Parkinson's at 44. She couldn't just sit back and watch him succumb to it. So she set out to find what caused it. What followed was a 20-year-long second career. Within a month of throwing out the pantry and filtering the family's water, her husband's tremor was already retreating. He managed to stay off medication for years. When she stumbled onto a book…
What 40 Days Without Food Reveals About the Human Body, With Casey Ruff
Jun 15, 2026 · 1 hr 1 min
In the 1960s, researchers had people fast for 40 days straight. They expected some of them to die. Instead, their bodies adapted. My guest this week, Casey Ruff, has spent nearly two decades helping people understand what's actually fueling their bodies, and most of what he's found runs against everything we've been taught. A metabolic health coach who came up through lab testing before going all in on low-carb and carnivore approaches, Casey joins me to explain why the carbs you've been told yo…
The Woman Who Helped Jelly Roll Get Fit Without Ozempic With Danese Rexroad
Jun 12, 2026 · 1 hr 1 min
About a quarter of adults in the United States now take at least four prescriptions a day. Most of them take more. Yet outside of antibiotics, almost nothing on the shelf is meant to cure you. Closing that gap is what Danese Rexroad does. As Chief Clinical Officer at Ways2Well, she goes upstream of disease, asking why the body is breaking down rather than writing another script to cover it. Her belief is that the choices you make in your 30s and 40s decide whether you spend your 80s in the gym o…
The Leading Cause of Disability in Women Under 50 With Dr. Amelia Scott Barrett
Jun 9, 2026 · 59 min
What do you think is the main cause of disability for women under 50? Is it cancer? Or maybe depression? Is it perhaps back pain? No. None of the above. The leading cause is migraine. Dr. Amelia Scott Barrett has spent her career staring at that fact from the inside. Only one in twenty people who have migraine ever gets properly diagnosed, and the rest spend years calling it tension or stress or sinus pressure while their brains discreetly change in the background. Two headache days a week is al…
Why Millions of Lyme Cases Go Undiagnosed Every Year With Dr. Myriah Hinchey
Jun 5, 2026 · 1 hr 15 min
You can test negative for Lyme over and over. Your bloodwork can look fine. Even your doctor can tell you it's just stress. Meanwhile, the infection keeps doing damage. An estimated 3.5 million Americans go through this every year. Dr. Myriah Hinchey knows that better than most. She was bitten by a tick when she was around ten. Her Lyme test came back negative, and she was sent home. What followed were decades of strange anxiety and brain fog she couldn't explain, until everything finally crashe…
How the Way You Breathe Is Shortening Your Life With Dr. John Douillard
Jun 4, 2026 · 58 min
Whatever shows up in your bloodwork has usually been building for a long time. The problem with modern medicine is that it steps in at the end of that process, not the beginning. Dr. John Douillard keeps coming back to one single question. Why do we wait so long? Forty years as a chiropractor and Ayurvedic practitioner have convinced him that the body starts dropping hints well before anything shows up on a test, and that most of us have been taught to wave those hints away until there's a real…
The Scientist Trying To Upload The Human Brain, With Dr. Randal Koene
May 26, 2026 · 1 hr 9 min
At 13, Randal read a science fiction novel and set out to upload a human brain. The surprising part is how far he's gotten. Dr. Randal Koene is a computational neuroscientist and the founder of the Carbon Copies Foundation, a nonprofit working to preserve and one day emulate the human brain. Not long ago, the idea of keeping someone's memory and identity alive past death sat squarely in the realm of science fiction. Randal is one of the people trying to drag it into the lab. Chris asks him how a…
The Entire Male Population Could Be Infertile in 20 Years, Here's Why
May 22, 2026 · 1 hr 2 min
Over the last couple of decades, testosterone levels in men have been declining by 1% every year. Twenty more years of that, and we could be looking at a fully infertile male population. That's what Dr. Tracy Gapin has been sounding the alarm on for years. A board-certified urologist who spent 20+ years in traditional medicine before walking away in 2020, Dr. Gapin founded Peak Launch to address what most doctors won't: the root cause of the symptom. Today's conversation digs into why standard t…
The Daughter Who Rewrote a Doctor’s Entire Approach to Medicine With Aaron Hartman, MD
Ep 206 · May 19, 2026 · 1 hr 4 min
What do you do when the medical system you were trained to trust can't save your own daughter? That's the question Dr. Aaron Hartman ran into the day he met his foster daughter Anna. She came into the world facing more than her share of challenges, and doctors told the Hartmans she wouldn't walk, talk, or crawl. When the standard recommendation came down to a feeding tube and a string of surgeries, Aaron and his wife said no. They were reported to Child Protective Services for wan…
Why Trauma Ages You Faster Than Sugar, Stress, Or Sleep Loss With Dr. Bhargav Patel
Ep 205 · May 15, 2026 · 60 min
You can stack every supplement, peptide, and biohack out there. It still won't fix the one thing wearing most of us down faster than any of it: unresolved stress and trauma. Dr. Bhargav Patel has spent his career studying how that wear and tear shows up in the brain, the body, and the lifespan, none of which a standard lab test will flag. He's one of the few doctors who treat the mind as part of the body rather than something separate from it. He walks us through the framework behind t…
How Food Became the Most Socially Acceptable Drug Today With Matty Lansdown
Ep 204 · May 12, 2026 · 1 hr 2 min
74% of American adults are overweight. 42% are clinically obese. And almost every one of them can list the foods they shouldn't be eating. So, what's actually going on? That's what started bugging Matty Lansdown when he was working as a cancer researcher and noticed something weird: 80% of the patients walking through the door were overweight, and every one of them already knew their diet was a mess. Knowing clearly wasn't the problem, but something was. That something pulled…
Why Your Bloodwork May Be Lying To You With Jeffrey Gaal
Ep 203 · May 8, 2026 · 1 hr 7 min
You run every test your doctor orders. They all come back fine. But fine compared to who? Compared to the average person, that's anything but healthy. That's the problem Jeffrey Gaal has spent decades thinking about. Through his work at Genetic LifeSpan, he's leading the charge to move people away from outdated benchmarks and into a new era of testing that shows what's happening inside the cell. Jeffrey walks us through the AgeCode test, which combines genetic predisposition,…
