Today, I’m sitting down with two true pioneers in the health optimization space: microbiologist Kiran Krishnan from Just Thrive, and Forrest Smith, founder of Kineon. In this episode, we bridge two often separate worlds—gut health and photobiomodulation—to explore what happens when you combine spore-based probiotics with red and near-infrared light therapy. You'll hear about the unexpected links between the gut and brain, the pivotal role of leaky gut in everything from neurodegeneration to hormone imbalance, and why Forrest started experimenting with shining red light directly on his abdomen.
Read MoreToday, I’m joined by the remarkable Dr. Robin Rose—a pioneering physician, author, and survivor who refused to accept a devastating kidney disease diagnosis as her fate. Instead of waiting for dialysis, Robin dove deep into the world of diet, detoxification, peptides, and bioregulators, turning her health crisis into a calling and culminating in her groundbreaking new book on chronic kidney disease. In our conversation, Robin shares why kidneys are often the “forgotten organ,” the real reasons so many cases of kidney decline go undetected, and how lifestyle choices—from protein intake to environmental toxins—can be both the problem and the path to healing.
Read MoreToday, I'm joined by Christian Drapeau, a visionary pioneer in stem cell science and the mind behind the concept of endogenous stem cell mobilization. Christian’s journey takes us from his days as a neurophysiology researcher, wrestling with questions about memory and consciousness, to a life-changing pivot into plant medicine—ultimately leading to groundbreaking work with stem cell–mobilizing botanicals like blue-green algae and sea buckthorn.
Read MoreToday, I’m joined by Eliza Kingsford, a clinical psychologist and expert in the psychology of weight loss, who brings a refreshingly honest—and much needed—perspective to the conversation around GLP-1 peptides, weight regulation, and nervous system health. Eliza shares how her two decades of experience revealed a missing piece in lasting weight loss: understanding and addressing the role of our nervous system beneath the surface of every behavior, craving, and “failed” attempt.
Read MoreToday, I’m taking you on a solo exploration into the world of extra virgin olive oil—a topic that’s both well-loved in ancestral diets and increasingly backed by cutting-edge science. Inspired by my recent interview with TJ Robinson of the Fresh Pressed Olive Oil Club, I started looking deeper into what makes extra virgin olive oil so powerful for health and longevity. What I found truly surprised me: there’s a wealth of research showing just how crucial high-quality olive oil is to the benefits of the Mediterranean lifestyle.
Read MoreToday, I’m joined by Cynthia Thurlow, a remarkable nurse practitioner, podcast host, and true hormone whisperer who is on a mission to help women thrive through perimenopause and beyond. If you’re curious about how hormones shape your healthspan, want to understand what your doctor might be missing when it comes to midlife transitions, or are just ready to feel more empowered in your own body, you’re going to love this conversation. Cynthia and I get honest about the realities of hormonal changes, the critical (but often overlooked) role of gut health and autoimmunity, and why some of the most popular wellness trends—like intense cardio, strict intermittent fasting, and even daily “healthy snacks”—can sometimes do more harm than good.
