Dr. Abud Bakri, MD: Thymus Health, Circadian Biology, and the Truth About Peptides Sep 17, 2026

Most longevity conversations focus on the brain, heart, muscle, and metabolism. Far less attention goes to the thymus, an immune organ that starts shrinking almost as soon as puberty ends, and new research suggests it may be quietly linked to fertility, hormones, and even how millions of women taking birth control are aging on the inside.

I sit down with Dr. Abud Bakri, a board-certified internal medicine physician and hospitalist who founded Systems, a performance and longevity practice built around treating the body system by system rather than symptom by symptom.

We start with the foundations that determine whether any advanced intervention can actually work: light exposure, circadian timing, mitochondrial health, metabolic function, and the parts of modern life working against all of it.

Then we get into the thymus itself: why it shrinks after puberty, what that has to do with an unexpected finding in ovarian development, and a harder question Dr. Bakri raises about whether birth control may be accelerating that shrinkage in ways no one is currently studying.

We close on peptides: why Dr. Bakri treats them like drugs rather than supplements, what separates receptor-based peptides from the ones we understand far less, what we actually know about BPC-157, thymosin alpha-1, SS-31, and GHK-Cu, and how a peptide protocol could eventually be timed to a woman's cycle instead of applied the same way to everyone.

Dr. Will Cole: How to Heal Your Cells, Leaky Gut, Light Exposure, and Why Your Gut Sets the Pace To Aging Sep 10, 2026

We talk about aging like it happens to a whole person at once. It doesn't. It happens organ by organ, at different speeds, and most people never find out which part of them is running ahead until something breaks.

Dr. Will Cole has spent sixteen years running one of the first functional medicine telehealth centers in the world, and he came to this conversation with a case that is both clinical and personal. In 2023 his father lost consciousness at the wheel and died in the crash. The autopsy pointed to cardiometabolic changes, and his heart cells had been aging faster than the rest of him. That same year, Stanford researchers found that one in five adults over fifty has at least one organ aging faster than the others, and that when it's the heart, the risk of a cardiac event more than triples.

His new book with Dr. Josh Axe, Heal Your Cells, makes an argument that reframes most of what gets called normal aging. Exhaustion, brain fog, the weight that will not move, the hormone shifts nobody can explain. These are not the calendar. They are cells that have stopped reading their own instructions clearly, and that is a state you can change.

We get into what actually makes a cell feel unsafe, why your gut lining is one cell thick and therefore the first thing to break, and the point almost nobody makes about elimination diets: the reintroduction matters as much as the elimination, and a protocol you never came off of is a cast you left on until the muscle atrophied.

We also get into light. Not just morning sun, but the darkness half, which matters more for women than most people realize. Melatonin is not only a sleep hormone, it's one of the more important antioxidants for ovarian aging, and light levels most people would call almost nothing can cut its production substantially.

Dr. Tania Dempsey, MD: Mast Cell Activation Syndrome, PMOS, and the Hidden Cause of Women's Chronic Symptoms Sep 03, 2026

Most women who deal with unexplained allergies, stubborn inflammation, heavy periods or a PMOS (formerly PCOS) diagnosis are never told to look at the same underlying cause: an immune cell most doctors were never taught to test for.

Dr. Tania Dempsey, MD, trained in internal medicine at Johns Hopkins before leaving conventional practice to focus on mast cell activation syndrome, a condition she believes explains far more chronic illness in women than most doctors realize. She's the founder of The AIM Center for Personalized Medicine and helped found the International Society for Mast Cell Activation Syndromes, where she now serves as treasurer.

This isn't some rare, fringe diagnosis. Dr. Dempsey estimates it may affect as many as one in five people, and in women it hides behind a long list of other labels, PMOS, endometriosis, hypermobility, unexplained heavy periods, that rarely get connected back to the same root.

Dr. Margie Davenport, PhD: Exercise in Pregnancy, the 140 BPM Myth, and Why Pregnancy Complications Predict Heart Disease Aug 27, 2026

Pregnancy has long been treated as a season to slow down and play it safe. The data tells a different story, and it starts with a number most women were taught to fear.

Dr. Margie Davenport, PhD, is an exercise physiologist and professor at the University of Alberta who has spent over a decade studying how the body moves through pregnancy, postpartum, and the years before.

What stayed with me most: a pregnancy complication isn't just a pregnancy problem. It's information about a woman's future heart health that most of us are never told to pay attention to.

Why the “stay under 140 beats per minute” rule taught to pregnant women for decades was already outdated before most of us ever heard it
What Dr. Davenport's lab is learning by tracking a baby's heart rate and blood flow in real time during heavy lifting and high intensity training
Why gestational diabetes, preeclampsia, and gestational hypertension are now considered a risk factor for future heart disease as strong as smoking
Why the “high risk at 35” label given to so many pregnancies is based on outdated data rather than a woman's actual health
Why almost no strength exercise, including deadlifts and heavy squats, has been shown to need to be avoided in a low risk pregnancy
Why the standard advice to wait six weeks and then resume normal activity after birth has little evidence behind it
How staying active after birth is tied to a real reduction in postpartum depression and noticeably better sleep quality, even when total sleep doesn't change

Dr. Gabrielle Lyon, DO: Muscle as the Organ of Longevity, Protein Mistakes, and the Truth About Menopause Muscle Loss Aug 20, 2026

Muscle is not just something you build in the gym. Dr. Gabrielle Lyon has spent her career arguing it's the organ that actually determines how well you age, and almost none of us have been taught to think about it that way.

Dr. Gabrielle Lyon, DO, is the founder of Muscle-Centric Medicine and the New York Times bestselling author of Forever Strong. She's spent over two decades studying muscle as the most overlooked organ in medicine.

The line that stuck with me most: she believes we're on track to trade an obesity epidemic for a sarcopenia epidemic, and most people won't see it coming until it's already happened. It's the kind of prediction I can't stop turning over, especially knowing how many women are on these medications right now without anyone telling them how to protect their muscles while they're on them.

Dr. Christin Glorioso, MD, PhD: The Alzheimer's Blood Test, How to Cut Your Dementia Risk by 30%, and Why Women Are at Higher Risk Aug 06, 2026

Brain aging does not start when memory loss shows up. It starts around age 25, decades before anyone notices anything is different. By the time a symptom appears, the window for the highest-leverage prevention has usually already closed.

Today I'm talking with Dr. Christin Glorioso, an MD and PhD who has spent her career studying Alzheimer's, partly because of her own family history and partly because she carries the ApoE4 gene herself. She has since used her own brain scans, blood work, and lifestyle changes to lower her own brain age, and she's built a company around helping other people do the same.

This conversation covers what actually causes Alzheimer's versus what we got wrong for decades, why the brain can grow back the same way muscle does, and why a ten minute daily habit has better evidence behind it than any drug currently on the market. We also get into hormone therapy, cholesterol, the ketogenic diet, and why women are so consistently underserved on all three.

Dr. Colleen Cutcliffe, PhD: Natural GLP-1 Production, Fiber Deficiency, Akkermansia and the Gut Microbiome Connection Jul 31, 2026

Most people think of the gut as a digestive organ. It is not. It is the upstream controller of your metabolism, immune function, brain health, skin, and hormones and almost everyone is running it on a depleted, misfed microbiome without knowing it.

Dr. Colleen Cutcliffe, PhD is the co-founder and CEO of Pendulum Therapeutics, holds a PhD in biochemistry from Johns Hopkins, and spent over 15 years in pharma and biotech before pioneering next-generation probiotic science. Her team was the first in the world to manufacture Akkermansia, a strain found at high levels in virtually every centenarian population studied and depleted in almost every major chronic disease.

What makes this conversation different from most gut health discussions is the level of scientific rigor behind it. This is not wellness theory. This is published research, clinical data, and a decade of actually building the science from the ground up.

Dr. Elizabeth Yurth, MD: Muscle Building in Midlife, Joint Regeneration, Peptide Protocols, and Why Osteoarthritis Is Not Wear and Tear Jul 02, 2026

Dr. Elizabeth Yurth, co-founder of Boulder Longevity Institute, is one of the rare physicians who spent 30 years in orthopedic and sports medicine before pivoting to longevity and regenerative medicine. This episode covers joint health in women, osteoarthritis, bone density, peptides, perimenopause, hormones, mitochondrial health, and the regenerative protocols most women have never been offered.

What she found after decades of patching people together: we have been thinking about joint disease completely wrong. Osteoarthritis is not a wear and tear condition. It is a metabolic disease driven by mitochondrial dysfunction, hormonal decline, and chronic low-grade inflammation, and it can be prevented, slowed, and in many cases reversed if you start addressing it at the root.

Most women wait until something breaks before paying attention. By then, the damage has been building for years. The interventions that actually work are available now. They are just not in the standard conversation.

Dr. Sharon Horesh Bergquist, MD: Hormetic Stress, Women’s Resilience, and the 5 Stressors That Support Longevity Jun 18, 2026

Avoiding stress at all costs may actually be making you less resilient.

In this episode, Dr. Sharon Horesh Bergquist reframes stress as one of the body’s most overlooked tools for longevity. The right kind of challenge can activate repair, strengthen resilience, improve metabolic health, and help the body adapt in ways that support healthier aging over time. Rather than trying to eliminate stress completely, she explains how to use it more intelligently.

At the center of the conversation are five key stressors the body appears designed to benefit from when they’re used well: plant phytochemicals, exercise, heat and cold exposure, time-restricted eating, and purpose-driven psychological stress.

Sharon also explains why recovery matters and why too little stress can be just as harmful as too much, and how mindset changes the biology of the stress response.

A study of 29,000 people found that believing stress is harmful raised the risk of dying by 43%, while viewing it as not harmful lowered that risk by 17%.

Dr. Martha Gulati, MD: Women's Heart Disease, Female-Specific Risk Factors, and What Medicine Gets Wrong About Cardiovascular Health Jun 11, 2026

Heart disease is not only a man's disease. It is the number one killer of women, responsible for ten times more deaths than breast cancer. And yet most women have never had a real conversation about their cardiovascular risk, because the medical system was not built to catch it in them.

Dr. Martha Gulati is the Director of Preventive Cardiology and Associate Director of the Barbra Streisand Women's Heart Center at Cedars-Sinai, Director of the Davis Women's Heart Center at Houston Methodist, and author of Saving Women's Hearts. Her own quote has become one of the most cited lines in women's cardiology: "Heart disease is the number one killer of women, but lack of awareness is a close second."

This conversation goes into how the female heart develops disease differently, why women's symptoms get dismissed even when they use the words chest pain, and the pregnancy complications, hormonal history, and inflammatory conditions that quietly raise cardiovascular risk for decades before anything shows up on a standard panel.

Women are often told that painful periods, irregular cycles, bloating, mood changes, fatigue, brain fog, postpartum symptoms, and hormonal shifts are “normal.”

But common does not mean something should be ignored.

In this episode, Dr. Jolene Brighten, ND joins me for a practical deep dive into female-specific conditions that are too often missed, minimized, or treated in isolation, including endometriosis, adenomyosis, PMDD, PCOS/PMOS, fibroids, postpartum thyroid changes, and the gut-hormone connection.

Dr. Brighten explains why endometriosis is not just a reproductive condition, how adenomyosis differs from endometriosis, why PMDD is not simply “bad PMS,” how histamine may play a role in cyclical symptoms, and why PCOS is now being reframed as a broader metabolic and endocrine condition.

Dr. Izabella Wentz: IBS Root Causes, Leaky Gut, Autoimmunity, and How To Start Healing Your Gut May 28, 2026

Less than 25% of people with IBS get real relief from conventional medicine. That number tells you everything about how the current approach is failing.

Most people with IBS have been told it is stress, told to take medication, and sent home. But irritable bowel syndrome is not one condition, it is a label applied to a cluster of symptoms that can have 20 to 40 completely different root causes. And left unaddressed, it is one of the most reliable predictors of autoimmune disease down the line.

In this episode I sit down with Dr. Izabella Wentz, clinical pharmacist, functional medicine expert, and NYT bestselling author known as the Thyroid Pharmacist. After her own IBS diagnosis in pharmacy school preceded her Hashimoto's diagnosis by six years, she has spent over a decade connecting the dots between gut dysfunction and autoimmunity for hundreds of thousands of people.

Dr. Scott Sherr, MD: Why Stress Blocks Healing: Mitochondria, Immune Aging, Hyperbaric Oxygen, and Methylene Blue May 21, 2026

There is a state where the body gets locked in sympathetic activation and mitochondrial dysfunction at the same time and no matter what supplements you take, no matter what protocols you run, nothing actually works. Dr. Scott Sherr calls it the sympathetic spiral of doom, and in this episode we break down exactly what it is, why so many people are stuck in it without knowing it, and the right sequence to actually get out.

Dr. Scott is a board certified internal medicine physician, certified in hyperbaric oxygen therapy and health optimization medicine, and the chief medical officer of One Base Health, the company behind the hyperbaric chamber you see in every episode. He advises me personally on my hyperbaric protocols, including the ovarian longevity protocol I have been running, and this conversation goes deep into the science behind why that protocol makes sense and what we are actually trying to achieve.

Dr. Poonam Desai: The 5 Labs Women Need, Heart Disease Risk, Microplastics, and Perimenopause May 14, 2026

Most women have had bloodwork done. What most women haven't had is the right bloodwork.

In this episode, Dr. Poonam Desai, double board certified in lifestyle and emergency medicine, NAM certified in menopause care, and founder of Longevity Place and Her Longevity, breaks down the five labs she runs on every female patient, the optimal values most physicians aren't targeting, and why the standard panel tells you almost nothing about long-term cardiovascular risk, metabolic health, or inflammation. This is one of the most practical longevity conversations I've had for women who want to know where they actually stand.

We also go deep on the three female life phases medicine consistently underserves, how women's cardiac symptoms are still being dismissed in clinical settings, and what a real foundational protocol looks like before any advanced intervention enters the picture. The perimenopause section is worth your full attention, what is shifting hormonally and metabolically, why those symptoms should not be pushed through, and why the window for acting is earlier than most women are told.

Prof. Belinda Beck, PhD: Bone Health: Building Strong Bones, Preventing Age-Related Loss, And Reversing Osteoporosis With Evidence-Based Exercise May 07, 2026

Most women are not thinking about their bones until a fracture happens or a scan comes back alarmingly. By then, the window for the most impactful intervention has often been narrowing for decades. Bone density peaks around age 18, not 30 as widely believed and the slow decline that follows is largely silent until it isn't.

Professor Belinda Beck, PhD has spent more than two decades studying exactly what it takes to stop and reverse that decline. She is a professor at Griffith University, founder of the Bloom Clinic in Brisbane, and the principal investigator behind the LIFTMORE trials, a body of research that changed the scientific consensus on what is actually possible for women with osteoporosis and osteopenia.

Her findings showed that heavy resistance and impact training twice weekly can safely grow bone mineral density in the spine and hip, even in women already diagnosed with very low bone mass and prior osteoporotic fractures. This was not what the medical establishment expected. And it fundamentally changed how serious practitioners now think about bone.

Dr. Dawn Mussallem, DO: Cancer Prevention, Early Detection, Exercise, Metabolic Health and Breast Cancer Screening Apr 30, 2026

In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Dawn Mussallem, DO, an integrative oncologist, lifestyle medicine specialist, cancer survivor, heart transplant recipient, and the newly appointed Chief Medical Officer of Fountain Life.

We talk about why cancer rates are rising, what we actually know about prevention, and why early detection matters so much when it comes to long-term outcomes. We also discuss the role of exercise, sleep, fiber, metabolic health, toxins, alcohol, gut health, screening tools, mammograms, full-body MRI, liquid biopsies, and why the basics still matter more than most people want to admit.

Dr. Dawn also shares her extraordinary personal story: She is a stage 4 cancer survivor who went through chemotherapy and a bone marrow transplant at 26, developed cardiac toxicity from treatment 18 years later, received a heart transplant, and became the first person in the world to run a marathon within a year of receiving a new heart.

GLP-1 Crisis for Women, Gut Health, Bone Loss with Dr. Sara Szal, MD Apr 16, 2026

We're back with Dr. Szal! Today we are discussing a variety of topics: Gut health, peptides, hormone health , GLP-1's, bone health and so much more!In this conversation, Dr. Sara G dives into the gut-brain connection and explains how disrupting the microbiome can directly affect mood, anxiety, and overall mental resilience. She breaks down why even a single course of antibiotics can shift the balance of your gut in ways most people never consider, and what that means for how you feel day to day.This is where the gut-brain connection becomes practical, not theoretical. Instead of treating symptoms in isolation, understanding how the microbiome regulates neurotransmitters and inflammation changes the way these issues are approached.Rebuilding that system requires more than random probiotics or diet changes. The Weed, Seed, Feed framework focuses on restoring gut balance in the right order, removing what doesn’t belong, reintroducing beneficial bacteria, and supporting their growth long-term.This episode is sponsored by Zen Basil.

Dr. Bérénice Benayoun, PhD: Why Your Ovaries Age (And the Gut Connection) Apr 09, 2026

Bérénice Benayoun, PhD, explains why ovarian aging may be one of the earliest and most important drivers of female aging, influencing the brain, immune system, metabolism, and long-term disease risk far beyond reproduction. She breaks down what we actually know so far, including DNA damage, mitochondrial dysfunction, fibrosis, hormonal signaling, and why the ovary appears to age faster than other tissues.

We also get into one of the most surprising findings in the field right now: a brand new study from her lab found that post-reproductive gut microbiota unexpectedly improved ovarian reserve and lowered inflammatory signals in young mice, raising a completely new set of questions about the gut-ovary connection and what may eventually be possible for ovarian health.

Dr. Eboni Cornish, MD: Brain Longevity, Neuroinflammation, and What Quietly Damages the Brain Mar 26, 2026

Brain health problems rarely begin where most people look. Memory issues, low mood, poor focus, anxiety, and even early cognitive decline can be driven by hidden inflammation and root-cause imbalances long before they show up the way most people expect.

In this episode, Dr. Eboni Cornish explains how chronic infections, mold, toxins, hormones, gut dysfunction, and oral or nasal microbial imbalances can all affect the brain, and why “mental health” often needs to be approached as brain health first.

She also shares how tools like brain imaging, inflammation markers, and functional testing can uncover patterns that are often missed in standard workups, while outlining the core foundations that support long-term brain health, including sleep, exercise, omega-3s, vitamin D, hormone balance, gut health, and detox capacity.

Dr. Stephanie Riley Hahn: Pelvic Floor Optimization, Leaks, Sex, And Prolapse Feb 26, 2026

Pelvic floor problems are not a “just do more kegels” issue.For a lot of women, kegels are either not specific enough, or they make symptoms worse.

In this episode, Dr. Stephanie Riley Hahn, pelvic floor physical therapist and founder of Longevity and Pilates, breaks down what pelvic floor dysfunction actually is, how to tell weakness from tightness, and why pressure management and breathing mechanics often matter more than squeezing harder.

Dr. Aimie Apigian, MD: The Biology of Trauma + Nervous System Safety Feb 19, 2026

Longevity isn’t just workouts, supplements, and recovery tools, it starts with nervous system health.

In this episode, Dr. Aimie Apigian explains what trauma actually is (not a label, but a measurable physiological response), how the body shifts from stress into overwhelm, and why “pushing through” often turns into years of avoidance, numbing, and hidden internal strain.

She breaks down the biology behind the trauma response, including the role of adrenaline, cortisol timing, and how mitochondrial capacity influences resilience.

You’ll also learn her practical, body-based approach to creating “safe enough” in real time, plus the three phases of healing: safety, support, and expansion, so you don’t stay stuck avoiding triggers forever.

In this conversation:

Stress vs trauma response (and what changes physiologically)
Why adrenaline drives the response and cortisol arrives later
How the body stores trauma as patterns, not just memories
The 3 nervous system states and the thoughts they generate
A simple somatic exercise to build safety in the body
Why devices/meds can be bridges, not the destination
Using biomarkers + wearables without fooling yourself
Why modern media can create vicarious trauma

I Became the First Woman in the World to Test Her Ovarian Age Feb 14, 2026

For the first time in history, ovarian biological age can be measured, and I became the first woman in the world to take the test.

Until now, women have had no real way to understand how their ovaries are aging beyond rough estimates like AMH. But this new machine-learning algorithm, trained on over 40,000 real women across different life stages, analyzes hormone biomarkers, body composition, and reproductive history to estimate ovarian age relative to chronological age.

This is a massive step forward in female longevity science.

In this episode, I walk through what the test measures, how the algorithm works, and what becoming the first data point actually means, not just for me, but for women collectively. We also explore what may be driving ovarian aging in the first place.

I also share how I’m now testing specific interventions in isolation, including hyperbaric oxygen therapy, to determine whether we can meaningfully influence ovarian aging over time.

Ovarian lifespan is significantly shorter than overall lifespan and once we can measure it, we can begin to understand it.

This is only the first step in redefining female longevity.

Cynthia Thurlow, NP: Perimenopause, Insulin Resistance and Midlife Metabolism Feb 12, 2026

Perimenopause is not just about hormones, it’s a metabolic transition that affects insulin sensitivity, gut health, stress tolerance, and long-term disease risk.

In this episode, Cynthia Thurlow, board-certified nurse practitioner and functional medicine expert, explains how women’s metabolism changes in midlife and why insulin resistance, poor stress resilience, and gut dysfunction often appear years before menopause.

She breaks down how perimenopause can begin earlier than most women expect, why symptoms vary so widely, and how lifestyle factors like fasting, exercise intensity, sleep, alcohol, and chronic stress interact with hormones during this transition.

Dr. Chris Masterjohn, PhD - Mitochondria, Micronutrients, and How Nutrition Actually Drives Longevity Feb 05, 2026

When cellular energy production is impaired, no diet, supplement, or health protocol can work as intended.

In this episode, Dr. Chris Masterjohn, nutrition scientist and expert in micronutrients and metabolism, explains why mitochondrial function is the limiting factor behind stalled progress, persistent fatigue, and supplements that stop working over time.

He breaks down why vitamin D supplementation often creates new problems when it is taken without proper nutrient balance, how high doses can disrupt other systems in the body, and why sunlight has biological effects that vitamin D pills alone cannot replicate.

Dr. Jessica Shepherd, MD – Menopause, Hormone Therapy and Bone Health Jan 29, 2026

In this episode, Dr. Jessica Shepard, board-certified OB/GYN and Chief Medical Officer of Hers, shares that the FDA just removed the black box warning on hormone replacement therapy after 23 years.

We discuss what actually happened with the WHI study that created all the fear around estrogen and breast cancer, and why the research never actually supported that narrative.
Dr. Shepard explains why you shouldn't wait until menopause to start the HRT conversation and how starting in your perimenopausal years can make all the difference for long-term health. Dr. Shepard shares the essential labs she runs on patients including ApoB, HbA1c, and thyroid optimization, plus the longevity metrics women should be tracking.
We also get into supplement recommendations including why she recommends 10 grams of creatine daily, the role of inflammation in aging, and how estrogen is naturally anti-inflammatory which is why women see increased cardiovascular risk and metabolic dysfunction after menopause.

Ashley Koff, RD - Dietitian Reveals: The Hormone Problem That Makes You Eat Everything Jan 08, 2026

Ashley Koff is a registered dietitian and author who spent 20 years discovering that weight and health aren't separate issues, they're connected through "weight health hormones." After her own struggles with restrictive eating despite doing everything "right," a functional medicine doctor helped her understand what was actually broken, and that was, her body's natural hormone function.

In this episode, Ashley explains why GLP-1 medications like Ozempic work, who actually needs them, and the critical foundational work required to avoid devastating rebounds. She reveals why current dietary guidelines fail women, shares her free weight health hormone assessment, cuts through the seed oil controversy, and offers practical strategies for eating healthy on any budget.

If you're confused about nutrition, frustrated that eating healthy isn't working, or curious about GLP-1 medications, this conversation provides the clarity you've been missing.

Dr. Deanna Minich, PhD - Doctor Shares: 5 Superfoods Women MUST Eat to Balance Hormones Dec 11, 2025

For years, functional medicine has focused on lab results and supplement protocols. Dr. Deanna Minich knows there's a deeper layer most practitioners miss. As a nutrition scientist who worked under Dr. Jeffrey Bland and educated for the Institute for Functional Medicine, she's witnessed how artificial light at night disrupts women's hormones more than almost any other factor, yet it's completely ignored.
In this episode, Dr. Minich reveals why 85% of people are Omega-3 deficient despite supplementing, how eating a rainbow of 30+ plant species weekly rebuilds your microbiome diversity, and why your skin's "photo-metabolome" produces healing compounds from sunlight that Vitamin D pills can never provide. She explains the Goldilocks principle of sun exposure, why most women only get 11-15 grams of fiber daily when they need triple that, and how stress functions as a toxin that triggers leaky gut and impairs detoxification. Dr. Minich also shares why women's heightened sensitivity isn't a weakness but a powerful gift for intuition and healing.
If you're tired of functional medicine that stops at labs and supplements, this conversation offers a comprehensive framework integrating circadian optimization, creative expression, gut diversity, and the spiritual aspects of women's health that determine true longevity.Guest’s socials + website

Dr. Christopher Davis, MD - Heart Doctor: Low-Fat Foods Are Causing More Heart Disease! Oct 23, 2025

Most people think heart disease is just about cholesterol. But what if the real issue is in your genes, your environment, and even your daily stress?

In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Christopher Davis, a triple board-certified interventional cardiologist who’s redefining what it means to take care of your heart. After years of performing stent procedures, he realized the conventional system was only treating symptoms, not causes. So he made a bold shift from reactive cardiology to a root-cause approach that blends advanced testing, functional medicine, detoxification, and even ancient healing wisdom. We discuss how genetics determine whether saturated fats help or harm you, why cholesterol itself isn’t the enemy, and how inflammation and oxidative stress are the real threats to your arteries.

If you’ve ever wondered why someone with perfect cholesterol can still have a heart attack, or why your stress levels matter just as much as your diet, this conversation will change how you think about cardiovascular health forever.

Dr. Laura Briden - This Is The Biggest Health Crisis Of Our Time Sep 18, 2025

Today I’m joined by Dr. Lara Briden, a naturopathic doctor, best-selling author, and internationally recognized expert in women’s hormones for a wide-ranging conversation on cycle health and why ovulation is a vital sign of wellbeing.

We talked about how monthly ovulation creates hormones that support bones, metabolism, and brain function, and what happens when that rhythm is disrupted by stress, restrictive eating, or birth control. Dr. Briden explains why natural estradiol and progesterone are so protective, how they differ from synthetic hormones, and what that means for both younger women and women approaching perimenopause.

She also shares her perspective on missing periods, hypothalamic amenorrhea, and the four functional types of PCOS, along with the growing role of insulin resistance in hormone imbalance. We talk about how to track ovulation, what lab markers to look for, and why restoring cycles is one of the most powerful steps for long-term health.

This episode is brought to you by OneSkin, the longevity scientists behind the first topical peptide scientifically proven to reverse skin aging—now bringing their expertise to your scalp.

If you care about aging well, you can’t ignore your hair. The health of your scalp directly impacts the strength, thickness, and lifespan of every strand.

That’s why OneSkin created their new OS-01 HAIR, the first scalp serum powered by a longevity peptide designed to optimize follicle health, balance the scalp, and extend the healthspan of your hair follicles.

In their clinical study, OS-01 HAIR showed significant improvements in hair density, thickness, and overall scalp health—all by targeting follicle aging at the root.

I’ve been using it myself and I’m genuinely impressed. It’s lightweight, fragrance-free, and backed by science—not fluff.

If you're serious about keeping your hair vibrant and resilient as you age, I highly recommend giving OneSkin's OS-01 HAIR a try.
