Today, I’m joined by the insightful Courtney Van Bussum, a biomedical engineer and entrepreneur who has become a rising force in longevity science. Courtney shares how growing up in a family of healthcare innovators shaped her journey, and how she pivoted from startup life to tackling age-related challenges—especially when COVID brought her back to her roots and reignited her passion for cellular health.
Read MoreToday, I’m joined by the remarkable Cathy Eason, whose work in the nitric oxide and vascular health space is changing the conversation around resilience and heart health for midlife women. Cathy dives into why cardiovascular disease is still the number one threat to women globally, and how the drop in estrogen during menopause impacts nitric oxide production—an overlooked factor that quietly influences everything from energy to cognition.
Read MoreToday, 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.
