How Stem Cells Can Reprogram Our Biology To Create A Younger You with Dr. Bob Hariri Jul 05, 2023

Show notes

This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health, ButcherBox, Pendulum, and Apollo.

I don’t just want to live a long life, I want to feel good while I’m doing it.

That’s why I’m always interested in the latest therapies to slow the aging process. Stem cells are one of those therapies that have been gaining a lot of traction for reducing nerve and muscle pain, improving the appearance and health of hair and skin, and even increasing sexual vitality.

Today on The Doctor’s Farmacy, I’m excited to talk to Dr. Bob Hariri about stem cell therapy and how it’s changing the field of aging science and the future of human health.

Dr. Bob Hariri is an accomplished surgeon, biomedical scientist, and serial entrepreneur in two technology sectors, biomedicine, and aerospace. He is the chairperson, founder, and chief executive officer of Celularity, Inc., one of the world’s leading human cellular therapeutics companies. Dr. Hariri pioneered the use of stem cells to treat a range of life-threatening human diseases. He holds over 170 issued and pending patents for discoveries, including placenta-derived stem cells, which Nature recognized as one of the ten most important patent estates in the field. He has authored over 150 published chapters, articles, and abstracts.

Why Cholesterol Is Only One Factor Of Heart Health Jul 03, 2023

Show notes

This episode is brought to you by Paleovalley, AG1, and Mitopure.

Many people still believe that eating cholesterol and fat, especially saturated fat, causes heart attacks and that taking statin drugs is the only way to reduce your risk of heart attacks, but now we know the science says otherwise. The good news is this: we have a lot more control than we originally thought when it comes to preventing and reversing heart disease.

In today’s episode, I talk with Dr. Cindy Geyer, Dr. Aseem Malhotra, and Dr. Todd LePine about why we need to look beyond cholesterol levels to protect our hearts.

Dr. Cindy Geyer received her bachelor of science and doctor of medicine degrees, with honors, from the Ohio State University. She completed her residency in internal medicine at Strong Memorial Hospital in Rochester, NY, and is triple board certified in internal medicine, integrative medicine, and lifestyle medicine. She joined The UltraWellness Center in 2021 after practicing and serving as the medical director at Canyon Ranch for 23 years.

Dr. Aseem Malhotra is an NHS-trained consultant cardiologist and visiting professor of evidence-based medicine at the Bahiana School of Medicine and Public Health in Salvador, Brazil. He is a founding member of Action on Sugar. He is a pioneer of the lifestyle medicine movement in the UK and in 2018 was ranked by software company Onalytica as the number one doctor in the world influencing obesity thinking. Dr. Malhotra's first book, The Pioppi Diet, coauthored with Donal O'Neill, was an international bestseller, and his next book, The 21-Day Immunity Plan, was also a Sunday Times top 10 bestseller. His new book is A Statin-Free Life.

Dr. Todd LePine graduated from Dartmouth Medical School and is board certified in internal medicine, specializing in Integrative Functional Medicine. He is an Institute for Functional Medicine Certified Practitioner. Prior to joining The UltraWellness Center, he worked as a physician at Canyon Ranch in Lenox, MA, for 10 years. His areas of interest include optimal aging, bio-detoxification, functional gastrointestinal health, systemic inflammation, autoimmune disorders, and the neurobiology of mood and cognitive disorders.

What Damages Your Brain And How To Reverse It Jun 30, 2023

About 30 years ago, when I became seriously ill with chronic fatigue syndrome, I felt like I simultaneously had dementia, depression, and ADD. My brain felt broken! That’s when I discovered Functional Medicine. One huge benefit I experienced when I reversed my chronic fatigue syndrome was how well my brain improved. Over the years, I fine-tuned my approach for a sharper, faster, and better brain.

In today’s episode of my series I’m calling Health Bites, I am talking about things that can lead to a broken brain and my top strategies for improving brain health.

How Supplementing With NMN Can Increase NAD levels, Energy, Reduce Inflammation, And Improve Insulin Resistance with Dr. Andrew Salzman Jun 28, 2023

Show notes

This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health, BiOptimizers, Mitopure, and AquaTru.

⁣⁣NAD has been popping up everywhere, and for good reason. It’s a fundamental driver of our health and longevity, and we’re now learning how boosting NAD levels might offset and improve the effects of aging.

On today’s episode, I’m excited to talk to Dr. Andrew Salzman all about NAD—how it is a key component involved in mitochondrial production, and is a critical substrate for several enzymes, including sirtuins, which play key roles in healthy aging, weight management, metabolic syndrome, and metabolism.

Dr. Salzman is a physician, inventor, professor, and biomedical entrepreneur. Dr. Salzman received his medical degree from Harvard University and has spent decades in drug discovery and development, raising over $165M in NIH grants for research. In addition to 50 patents, Dr. Salzman is credited with a breakthrough discovery in cellular DNA repair, which led to the world's first clinical application for successfully treating breast cancer caused by mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes. Millions of patients are benefiting from discoveries by Dr. Salzman in areas including mitochondrial health, gastrointestinal microbiota, damage caused by inflammation and oxidative stress to human cells and DNA, autoimmune disease, and cancer.

A Radical New Dietary Approach To Cancer Treatment with Dr. Thomas Seyfried Jun 21, 2023

Show notes

This episode is brought to you by Cozy Earth, Rupa Health, Apollo, and Wonderfeel.

Over the years, it has become a widely held belief that cancer is predominately a genetic disease or simply the consequence of bad luck. An empowering evolution in cancer research, however, suggests we have far more control over our risk than previously thought.

I’m excited to talk to Dr. Thomas Seyfried about the underlying causes of cancer and why addressing metabolic dysfunction is a very important and often overlooked area of its prevention and treatment.

Dr. Thomas Seyfried is an American professor of biology, genetics, and biochemistry at Boston College. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign in 1976 and did his postdoctoral fellowship at the Yale University School of Medicine. Dr. Seyfried has over 150 peer-reviewed publications, and his research focuses primarily on the mechanisms driving cancer, epilepsy, and neurodegenerative diseases and calorie-restricted ketogenic diets in their prevention and treatment. He is the author of Cancer as a Metabolic Disease: On the Origin, Management, and Prevention of Cancer and presently serves on the Nutrition & Metabolism, Neurochemical Research, Journal of Lipid Research, and ASN Neuro editorial boards.

Simple Ways To Upgrade Your Health Jun 19, 2023

This episode is brought to you b Rupa University, Paleovalley, HigherDOSE, and Athletic Greens.

There are many areas of life that we can dial in for optimal health and longevity. Three of those areas are what we eat, our quality of sleep, and our energy production. We eat pounds of food every single day that act as information for our cells and influence our DNA expression. When we sleep, our brain’s immune system (the glymphatic system) clears away damaged cells. And increasing our energy will not only help us feel better but will also support all the systems of the body to function better.

In today’s episode, I talk with Dhru Purohit in my Masterclass series about the Functional Medicine approach to food, improving our sleep, and powering up our bodies.
