  • What if everything you thought you knew about weight management was wrong? Dr. Alexandra Sowa, board-certified internist and obesity medicine specialist, challenges conventional wisdom in this eye-opening conversation about the true nature of obesity and the revolutionary medications transforming its treatment.

    This episode is sponsored by Rio.life who makes GLP-1 agonists available in their programs. I am an advisor to Rio but I only advise companies that I believe in and would use for myself and my family.

    The standard advice of "eat less, exercise more" has failed generations of patients because it fundamentally misunderstands obesity as a willpower problem rather than what it truly is—a disease of neurohormonal dysregulation. Our modern environment, particularly our food system, has damaged the delicate balance between our brains and hormones, making sustainable weight management virtually impossible for most people through behavioral changes alone.

    Enter GLP-1 medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro. These synthetic versions of hormones our bodies naturally produce are revolutionizing treatment by addressing the underlying dysfunction. Working throughout the body—in the brain, stomach, and pancreas—they reset hormonal signals, reduce inflammation, and stabilize blood sugar. Perhaps most remarkably, they transform food cravings at the genetic level, making healthy choices feel natural rather than punishing.

    The benefits extend far beyond weight loss. Recent studies show these medications can prevent heart attacks and strokes, slow dementia progression, treat sleep apnea, and even help with addiction disorders. Dr. Sowa calls them "longevity medications" with potential to add healthy years to patients' lives by reducing systemic inflammation and improving metabolic health.

    Ready to understand the science behind today's most talked-about medications and their potential to transform not just individual health but society's approach to metabolic disease? This conversation offers both practical guidance for patients and a vision for how we might reimagine our relationship with food, weight, and health.

  • Amy Alkon's eight-year scientific deep dive into menopause began with a hot flash that felt like being "locked in a trunk in the Everglades." What followed was a shocking discovery of the vast gap between medical practice and scientific evidence in women's health care.

    As a self-described "science mole rat" without medical training but with rigorous research skills, Alkon uncovered critical distinctions between perimenopause and menopause that most doctors overlook. Perimenopause isn't simply "menopause light" but a unique hormonal state where estrogen often spikes dramatically while progesterone becomes deficient. This explains why many women experience rage, brain fog, insomnia, and other mysterious symptoms their doctors frequently dismiss.

    Through compelling personal anecdotes and accessible explanations of complex hormonal processes, Alkon reveals how medical institutions are failing women during this transition. Most gynecologists receive virtually no specialized training in menopause management, leaving millions of women misdiagnosed or untreated. Her frustrating battle to obtain proper medication—oral micronized progesterone rather than synthetic alternatives with harmful side effects—highlights how women must often become their own health advocates.

    Going Menopostal: What You (and Your Doctor) Need to Know About the Real Science of Menopause and Perimenopause (which is being published today) equips readers with the scientific understanding and practical tools to navigate a medical system that often gaslights women. Download a free chapter at amyalkon.net and discover how evidence-based approaches can transform your experience of menopause from a medical mystery into an empowered new chapter of life.

  • What if your body wasn't designed to be sick? What if those nagging symptoms you've been fighting aren't problems at all, but messages—your body's desperate attempt to communicate that something deeper needs attention?

    In this revealing conversation, metabolic health expert and my good friend Ben Azadi introduces his new book "Metabolic Freedom," explaining why an astonishing 93% of Americans are metabolically unhealthy and what we can do about it. Rather than focusing on niche approaches like strict keto or extended fasting, Azadi presents a comprehensive framework accessible to everyone, addressing the five root causes behind metabolic dysfunction.

    One of the most alarming revelations? You could have full-blown insulin resistance for 6-14 years while still showing "perfect" blood sugar readings on standard tests. Your pancreas compensates by pumping out massive amounts of insulin until it simply can't keep up anymore. By then, you're already deep in the disease process. Ben makes a compelling case for requesting fasting insulin tests rather than relying solely on glucose measurements that miss this critical early warning.

    The conversation explores how true metabolic freedom means having a body that can effortlessly use whatever fuel is available—carbs, protein, fat, or stored body fat—to generate steady energy without constant snacking or stimulants. Ben breaks down the powerful healing cascade that happens during fasting, from completed digestion at 14 hours to enhanced cellular cleanup (autophagy) at 16-17 hours and increased brain-derived neurotrophic factor at the 24-hour mark.

    Beyond food timing, we look at the devastating impact of environmental toxins he classifies as "obesogens" and "diabetogens"—compounds found in everything from plastic containers to cash register receipts that directly promote weight gain and blood sugar dysfunction.

    Whether you're just beginning your health journey or deeply familiar with metabolic concepts, this conversation offers practical wisdom for reclaiming your body's natural state of health through a 30-day plan designed to restore your metabolic freedom.

  • The shocking truth about cancer treatment lies in what medical schools aren't teaching doctors. After 20 years as a radiation oncologist, Dr. Katie Deming discovered that cancer might be fundamentally a metabolic condition rather than primarily genetic—an insight that transforms how we approach healing.

    Cancer cells predominantly use glucose as fuel through fermentation, even when oxygen is present (the Warburg effect). By eliminating this fuel source through ketogenic diets or extended water fasting, remarkable healing becomes possible. Studies show patients with glioblastoma multiforme living significantly longer on ketogenic diets, but the most profound results come from supervised water fasting.

    Beyond targeting cancer cells, extended fasting offers comprehensive healing: resetting metabolism, detoxifying the body, rebalancing the microbiome, and often triggering profound emotional and spiritual experiences. Participants report life-changing insights, unexpected spiritual connections, and a complete reset of their relationship with food and health.

    This approach must be professionally supervised—especially the critical refeeding phase—but represents a powerful healing journey that addresses not just the physical manifestation of cancer but its deeper roots. Whether seeking an alternative to conventional treatments or complementary support during traditional therapy, water fasting offers a possible pathway to healing that conventional medicine has overlooked for far too long.

  • Could a simple molecule be the key to resolving seemingly incurable health conditions? Greg shares his remarkable journey from facing imminent death to complete recovery using molecular hydrogen therapy. After conventional medicine failed to treat his tumors, severe heart condition, and debilitating autoimmune issues, Greg's desperate search led him to discover what he believes to be the profound healing potential of properly administered molecular hydrogen.

    Unlike conventional antioxidants, molecular hydrogen (H2) is thought to work selectively in the body—including on the mitochondria, where many diseases originate. Greg explains how hydrogen's uniquely small molecular size allows it to penetrate any cell in the body, crossing the blood-brain barrier and working at the cellular level to reduce inflammation, improve nutrient absorption, and restore proper function to various systems.

    Greg shares remarkable case studies, from a woman with dementia who regained her ability to recognize family members to patients with supposedly permanent heart conditions seeing complete reversals. More work is clearly needed in this area of evidence to move beyond anecdotal case reports to clinical trials.

    We explore the science behind different hydrogen delivery methods, why production quality matters tremendously, and practical protocols anyone can implement. Greg offers valuable guidance on avoiding inferior products that might introduce harmful byproducts while explaining how proper hydrogen therapy might be the missing piece in your health journey.

    Whether you're battling chronic health issues or simply interested in optimizing your wellness and longevity, this episode challenges conventional thinking about healing and recovery. We are at the beginning of understanding the science behind molecular hydrogen therapy and will be paying close attention as this story continues to unfold.

  • Dr. Aubrey de Grey reveals why reversing aging may be easier than slowing it down in this mind-expanding conversation that challenges conventional wisdom about human longevity. The renowned biomedical gerontologist outlines his damage repair approach that's gaining mainstream scientific acceptance after initial skepticism.

    The financial landscape of longevity research has dramatically transformed, with billions flowing into the space. Dr. de Grey provides an insider's assessment of major players including HEvolution (Saudi-backed), Altos Labs (Bezos-funded), Calico (Google-funded) and Retro Biosciences (Sam Altman's venture), offering candid insights about which approaches show the most promise and why Google's Calico has struggled despite substantial resources.

    Regulatory innovation emerges as a crucial accelerator for progress. Montana's groundbreaking expansion of Right to Try legislation now allows anyone to access treatments that have passed FDA safety trials, while special economic zones like Prospera in Honduras are creating regulatory environments specifically designed for biomedical innovation. These developments could create the competitive pressure needed to modernize traditional regulatory structures worldwide.

    At the LEV Foundation, Dr. de Grey is conducting a thousand-mouse study combining four different damage repair interventions in middle-aged mice, aiming for a full year of life extension—far beyond the four months typically achieved. Unlike conventional approaches that rely on dietary modifications, this ambitious project incorporates advanced cell and gene therapies that target multiple forms of age-related damage simultaneously.

    Looking forward, Dr. de Grey offers his characteristic probabilistic prediction: a 50-50 chance of reaching "longevity escape velocity" within 12-15 years. This would enable taking 60-year-olds and rejuvenating them enough that they wouldn't be biologically 60 again for another 20 years, during which time further advances would enable additional rejuvenation cycles—potentially creating open-ended healthy lifespans for many alive today.

  • What if healing isn't the same as curing? Dr. Amita Kalaichandran draws from her unique background in conventional medicine, public health, integrative approaches, and journalism to reshape our understanding of true wellness in ways that might surprise you.

    At the heart of this conversation lies a powerful distinction: while Western medicine excels at curing (removing disease), healing represents something far more profound—a return to wholeness that integrates illness and challenges into our lives. Amitha thoughtfully explains why even those facing terminal conditions can find healing, creating meaning and wholeness right through the end of life. This perspective challenges our cultural tendency to view death as simply "losing the battle" with disease.

    The discussion moves into fascinating territory exploring psychological safety in healthcare settings. Drawing from Amy Edmondson's groundbreaking research, we discover how the ability to speak up without fear creates not just better patient outcomes, but also nurtures innovation and prevents provider burnout. This concept extends beyond hospitals into every workplace, where a sense of belonging and voice directly impacts both individual health and organizational success.

    Perhaps most intriguing is Amitha's nuanced take on psychedelics as healing tools. She explains how substances like psilocybin and MDMA might work on the brain's default mode network to "untangle the knots" of fossilized thought patterns where traditional therapies sometimes fail. The conversation acknowledges both the promising research and necessary cautions while suggesting that these compounds might offer flexibility in thinking that many of us lose as we age.

    Don't miss this rich exploration of healing that weaves together cutting-edge science, ancient wisdom, and practical insights for anyone seeking a more integrated approach to wellness. Subscribe now and join us in reimagining what healing truly means for body, mind, and spirit.

  • This week Dr. Eric Gordon returns to our program to draw back the curtain on chronic complex illness, illuminating the profound yet often overlooked connection between interrupted healing cycles and persistent health problems that conventional medicine struggles to address.

    At the heart of conditions like chronic fatigue syndrome, Lyme disease, and atypical autoimmune disorders lies chronic inflammation—not as a symptom, but as the driving force. Gordon explains that these debilitating conditions manifest when your body fails to complete its natural healing cycle, leaving millions with normal blood tests but life-altering fatigue, pain, and cognitive dysfunction.

    The revolutionary "cell danger response" framework reveals why your cells get stuck in defensive postures long after threats have passed. Your mitochondria aren't broken—they've adaptively changed their function, which explains why supplements often disappoint chronic illness sufferers. This three-phase healing cycle (inflammation, rebuilding, and cellular communication restoration) must complete for true recovery, yet medicine focuses almost exclusively on the first phase.

    What makes Gordon's perspective particularly valuable is his recognition that feeling safe is fundamental to healing. The nervous system must receive signals that it's appropriate to divert resources toward restoration rather than protection. This explains why stress reduction becomes increasingly crucial the longer someone remains ill—chronic inflammation itself increases anxiety, creating a destructive feedback loop that further impedes recovery.

    Medicine's blind spot stems from its overwhelming focus on acute care models. We excel at addressing immediate threats like infections or injuries, but pay minimal attention to the complex, individualized healing process that must follow. This cookbook approach fails because biochemical individuality means each person's body responds uniquely to identical interventions.

    Ready to understand why your chronic symptoms persist despite normal tests? Discover how addressing the complete healing cycle might finally unlock the recovery that's eluded you for years.

  • What if everything we've been told about Alzheimer's disease is backwards? Dr. Dale Bredesen, author of the New York Times bestseller "The End of Alzheimer's," returns to our program to shatter conventional wisdom with research showing cognitive decline can be prevented and even reversed.

    The traditional approach to Alzheimer's has failed spectacularly. Despite billions in research funding, pharmaceutical solutions have delivered minimal benefits. Why? Dr. Bredesen reveals the fundamental misunderstanding: Alzheimer's isn't a single-cause disease requiring a single drug, but rather a complex brain response to multiple insults. What we call Alzheimer's represents a "cytokine drizzle" – chronic, low-grade inflammation forcing the brain to downsize its synaptic network.

    Most surprisingly, amyloid – long considered the villain – is actually part of your brain's defense system! It creates "little igloos" around pathogens that have invaded brain tissue. This revolutionary understanding points to a completely different approach to prevention and treatment.

    Dr. Bredesen's protocol addresses the true underlying causes: insufficient energetics/support, excessive inflammation, and toxin exposure. His published research shows 84% of patients experience improvement, with benefits sustained for over a decade in many cases. Even advanced cases show meaningful functional gains – one patient is continent while on the protocol and incontinent when off it!

  • This week we unlock the secrets to a healthier, longer life with insights from Dr Robert Lustig as he unpacks the hidden dangers of junk food. Ever wondered how ultra-processed foods sabotage your body's natural functions? Discover how the fructose in these foods disrupts your mitochondria, leading to serious health issues like fatty liver disease and insulin resistance. Dr Lustig contrasts these effects with the benefits of whole fruits, which offer protective fibers to mitigate damage, equipping you with the knowledge to make smarter dietary choices.

    Join us as we challenge outdated medical beliefs and shed light on the profound connection between sugar and hypertension.
