À propos du podcast
You want to have a spectacular life. You want to live longer as long as you are healthy mentally and physically. This podcast has been a vision of mine for the last two and a half years. As I continue to share with people the astounding results, 90% extension of life in test subjects, reported in peer-reviewed published research about our molecule ESS60, I started to think about what it would be like to live longer. Not just longer, but ALOT longer. I also started thinking about how living longer would disrupt the vision many people had about their lives and the final years of that life. This podcast is big enough to cover all aspects of Living Beyond the Norms but it will start and probably focus on health and longevity and the cutting-edge research which promises significantly longer and healthier living. It will also cover the unconventional strategies employed today by today's experts to help people Live Beyond the Norms.

Why Your Brain Triggers Panic Before You Know What's Wrong | Dr. Nicole Cain

Why would evolution give us something as terrifying as a panic attack? Couldn't be for no reason, right? The fear response that once helped our ancestors escape predators is still hard at work, even when there's no obvious danger.
Our brains want to keep us happy, sure. However, they're a lot more concerned with keeping us safe than satisfied. Dr. Nicole Cain joins me to explain how fear becomes a learned response and why panic can strike before we even understand what's triggered it.
This is a short excerpt from a previous episode, where Nicole and I had a much broader conversation about anxiety and mental health. Listen to the full conversation here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bNiWLirepE0
“Your brain isn't concerned about your well-being. It's concerned about your safety.” ~ Dr. Nicole Cain

Notes de l’épisode
Imagine waiting months for a clinical trial that could give you your life back, only to hear a doctor say they don't expect you to recover.
That's what happened to my guest, Brandy Gillmore. After a car accident and a serious fall, she spent years battling severe chronic pain, struggling to walk, and searching for treatments that might help. When the clinical trial failed to bring relief, one question about the placebo effect sent her in an entirely new direction.
Today, Brandy teaches others how to identify and change emotional patterns that she believes influence physical health. We talk about her remarkable recovery, why positive thinking alone wasn't enough, and how she uses thermal imaging to demonstrate changes in pain.
“We are so much more amazing than we realize.” ~ Brandy Gillmore

Notes de l’épisode
Ice baths, prolonged fasting, extreme diets, and uncomfortable biohacking routines. You don't want to do these things. No one does. And you know what? You don't have to.
Chocolate, laughter, sunshine, vacations, and spending time with friends sound much better. And surprisingly, these simple pleasures may help you live longer. There's even research to support some of their health benefits.
Dr. Patrick Quillin joins me to discuss his latest book, The Pleasure Advantage, and why enjoying life deserves a place in the longevity conversation. We explore the science behind everyday pleasures, the importance of belonging, and why staying healthy doesn't have to feel like punishment.
“There's two main urges in the human mind, and that's to seek pleasure and to avoid discomfort.” ~ Dr. Patrick Quillin

Notes de l’épisode
Human life expectancy has increased dramatically over the past century. In the United States, the average has risen from roughly 47 years in 1900 to around 77–78 years today.
We can thank advances in medicine, sanitation, and public health for much of that progress. But what's the point of living longer if you spend your final years struggling with illness or disability?
My guest, Dr. Bob Rakowski, believes those final years don't have to be defined by poor health. In fact, he argues that the best way to protect your independence starts decades earlier, with the habits you practice every day.
We discuss why sleep, strength training, and real food deserve more attention than biohacks, and how his Magnificent Seven approach can help us work toward a longer, healthier life.

Notes de l’épisode
What happens when someone who built her career around intermittent fasting decides to stop doing it? That's one of the questions I explore with Cynthia Thurlow, a nurse practitioner, bestselling author, and women's health expert whose TEDx talk on fasting has reached nearly 16 million views.
Cynthia's own experience with midlife changes has reshaped her approach to health. She now prioritizes building muscle over losing weight, keeps her fasting windows shorter, and challenges the advice women are often given when their usual diet and exercise routines stop working.
We also discuss hormone replacement therapy, the connection between menopause and gut health, and why women may need to rethink their habits as they get older. Cynthia shares what she's learned about protecting strength, maintaining independence, and making informed decisions about aging well.
“The things that allowed us to be successful in our teens, 20s, and 30s become maladaptive in menopause.” ~ Cynthia ThurlowEnjoying Live Beyond the Norms?

What If Some Diabetic Nerve Damage Isn’t Irreversible? | Dr. Stephen Barrett

Notes de l’épisode
Every 20 seconds somewhere in the world, a person with diabetes loses a limb to amputation. For many, the path to that point begins with diabetic neuropathy. Sensation in the feet fades, so injuries can go unnoticed long enough to become ulcers.
Some of that lost sensation may not be as irreversible as patients are often told.
Podiatric and peripheral nerve surgeon Dr. Stephen Barrett argues that diabetes can cause nerves to swell and become compressed. He believes that relieving the pressure can restore sensation and function in some patients.
Dr. Stephen and I talk about how this happens and what nerve decompression could mean for people with diabetes. We also get into the patient whose foot moved again after five years.

Americans love their supplements. After all, they spend up to $70 billion per year on supplements, according to some estimates. But supplements can only do so much if your lifestyle keeps exposing you to the things that are affecting your health in the first place.
Chemical Free Body founder Tim James believes supplements have their place, but reducing that exposure has to be part of the equation. We talk about chemicals in everyday products, how stress affects the body, and why he starts some people with greens when they barely have the energy to make other changes.

Could Your Body Be Rejuvenated at 60, 80, or Even 100? | Aubrey de Grey

Notes de l’épisode
The rise in human life expectancy is one of medicine’s biggest achievements. In 1950, the global average was just over 46 years. Today, it has passed 73. But living longer has also given us more time to accumulate the cellular damage behind many diseases of later life.
That brings me to my guest, Aubrey de Grey. A biomedical gerontologist and creator of SENS, Aubrey sees accumulated damage as something future medicine could repair again and again, potentially pushing biological decline further into the future.
Aubrey and I discuss his work with mice, the possibility of rejuvenating people later in life, and his idea of longevity escape velocity, where advances in medicine keep buying us enough time to benefit from whatever comes next.

Your mouth is home to somewhere between 50 and 100 billion bacteria. We’re taught to get rid of bacteria, but many of the microbes in a healthy mouth are supposed to be there.
My guest, Nadine Artemis, explains why oral health depends on a healthy microbiome, how this changed her approach to dental care, and what led her to the “invisible toothbrush.”
Our discussion doesn’t end with dental health. Nadine also talks about sunlight and skincare, why she questions routine sunscreen use, and the role light plays in our health.
“Our teeth are like trees. They're drawing up nutrients from the “soil,” from the blood, and up into the pulp chamber.” ~ Nadine Artemis

Can We Reverse Cellular Aging by Rebuilding Our Telomeres? | Dr. Bill Andrews

Notes de l’épisode
Telomeres shorten every time many of our cells divide. Once they become too short, those cells can lose their ability to keep dividing. But what happens if you can lengthen them again?
Dr. Bill Andrews explains how research into telomerase opened that possibility and what happened when scientists restored telomerase activity in experimental cells and mice. He also discusses where gene therapy fits into the picture and the risks that still stand in the way.

Why a Heart Attack at 34 Changed the Way He Thinks About Heart Disease | Dr. Stephen Hussey

Notes de l’épisode
Six months before having a widowmaker heart attack at 34, Dr. Stephen Hussey had a coronary calcium score of zero. He exercised regularly, ate a whole-food diet, and says his other health markers gave him little reason to think a heart attack was coming.
After surviving it, he started questioning whether the usual markers tell us enough about heart health. That led him to look more closely at blood flow and what happens inside the arteries as heart disease develops.
Dr. Hussey shares why sunlight and our daily light environment have become such a big part of how he thinks about cardiovascular health. He explains his interest in structured water and why his experience has made him question how much we can learn from testing alone.
“If a diet stops working for you, don't be dogmatic about it.” ~ Dr. Stephen Hussey

How Environmental Toxins Affect Your Hormones, Weight, and Fertility | Dr. Wendy Myers

Notes de l’épisode
Over the last four decades, obesity in the U.S. has nearly doubled. Research has found testosterone levels in American men declining by around 1% per year since the 80s. Most alarmingly, global sperm concentration has fallen by more than 50% since the 1970s.
For people struggling with their weight, hormones, or fertility, figuring out what’s contributing to the problem can take years. Dr. Wendy Myers believes one culprit deserves more attention: the environmental chemicals and heavy metals we’re exposed to every day.
According to Dr. Myers, these exposures can interfere with the way our hormones function and may even make losing weight more difficult. She explains why minerals are such an important part of her approach to detox and what we can do to reduce the toxic load we encounter in everyday life.

Notes de l’épisode
There are roughly 650,000 full-time sworn law enforcement officers in the United States and more than a million active physicians. But how many people have spent decades in law enforcement, served on a SWAT team, and then become a doctor? Probably not many.
My guest, Dr. Mark Sherwood, is one of them.
That career change gave Dr. Sherwood an unusual perspective on stress, health, and aging. He explains why he thinks stress is something we do rather than something we have, and why our genes leave us with more room to influence our health than many people assume.
We also talk about hormone replacement therapy and the rise of GLP-1 drugs, including Dr. Sherwood’s own experiment with retatrutide. Along the way, he explains how he measures biological age and why longevity comes down to staying capable for as long as possible.

Notes de l’épisode
Nearly three in four women with moderate-to-severe menopausal symptoms report feeling tired or worn out. Add hot flashes, brain fog, anxiety, and bloating, and suddenly it’s hard to know what’s causing what.
These symptoms are often treated one at a time, but Lisa Smith believes there’s an important connection between them. The functional medicine dietitian points to the gut, where bacteria can even affect whether estrogen leaves the body or gets sent back into circulation.
Lisa breaks down how that happens, why some women struggle with HRT, and what leaky gut and liver health have to do with hormones. She also shares practical ways to support the gut through probiotics, prebiotic foods, protein, and fiber.

A 2016 study of 800,000 children found that antibiotics or antacids in the first six months of life significantly raised the risk of eczema, asthma, and life-threatening food allergies by age four.
Dr. Elisa Song walks through that data, plus a Finnish study of one million births linking early antibiotic exposure to anxiety and mood disorders later in life. She also covers how to spot the difference between a viral and bacterial infection, and what to ask before filling a prescription.

Why More Stem Cells Can Mean Worse Results | Joy Kong, MD

Notes de l’épisode
Most people think stem cells are unregulated overseas, dangerous, or something you can only access by flying to another country for treatment. Even the ones who believe in them often assume more cells always means better results.
But what if none of that is actually true? That's the case Dr. Joy Kong has spent years making.
As a UCLA-trained, triple board-certified physician, Dr. Kong has seen it all. She once watched a single stem cell infusion produce changes in a young patient that years of psychiatric medication never could.
She's witnessed many more conditions improve with stem cell therapy and has spent years separating fact from fiction.

Notes de l’épisode
Cholesterol, blood pressure, and family history are the usual predictors doctors check for heart health. What most don't mention is that nighttime erections can predict it too.
It turns out that tracking this single signal can flag cardiovascular risk years before symptoms show up. Doctors have known this for decades, yet no one outside a sleep lab has ever actually tracked it. Well, no one, except for Elliot Justin.
Doctor Justin is an emergency physician and healthcare entrepreneur. For years, overlooked signals like this one kept pulling his attention, the kind of data hiding in plain sight that could change how men catch heart disease early. Eventually, that pull led him to build a device that turns this nightly signal into something anyone can measure at home.

Notes de l’épisode
Self-discipline matters more than IQ for your success. According to research from the University of Pennsylvania, it was more than twice as effective at predicting students' final grades.
That same discipline can carry you through school and into a successful career. But health and fitness play by different rules, and sheer willpower often isn’t enough.
Ben Brown, head nutrition coach at BSL Nutrition, sees this all the time with high-performing executives. They’ve built careers by pushing harder, working longer, and refusing to quit. But with health, that same mindset can backfire.
Willpower works more like a battery than a personality trait. The harder you lean on it, the faster it drains. That’s why, according to Ben, long-term success often comes down to better systems, not more discipline.
"The people that rely the least on self-control and discipline are the ones that put themselves in situations that don't require as much self-control and discipline." ~ Ben Brown

Notes de l’épisode
Roughly 7.4 million Americans are currently living with Alzheimer's disease, and by the time symptoms show up, the disease has often been building for 10 to 20 years.
Add in the roughly one in three Americans carrying the genetic marker tied to higher risk, and the scale of what's coming becomes hard to ignore. Despite the stats, Dr. Ken Sharlin doesn't order a test unless it's going to change what he does next.
Most of what he needs to know comes from listening first. Some of his MS patients have gone years without disease-modifying medication. Others no longer meet the criteria for the diagnosis they came in with.

Why Aging Accelerates Instead of Moving in a Straight Line | Dr. Jeffrey Gladden

As you get older, you start to notice that aging doesn't move at a steady pace. It picks up speed. And the tools most people reach for to fight it - peptides, hormones, the usual stack - are built to fix a problem that moves in a straight line.
A top interventional cardiologist for decades, Dr. Jeffrey Gladden watched his health collapse in his 50s. When a doctor chalked it up to age and offered an antidepressant, he spent two and a half years rebuilding his biology from scratch instead, and that process became the foundation of everything he does now.
Dr. Gladden built a five-part system around that idea, one that treats aging as something to get ahead of rather than patch after the fact.
"The body can't heal when it's stressed. The body ages more rapidly when it's stressed." ~ Dr. Jeffrey Gladden

50% of Sudden Cardiac Deaths Happen With No Warning | Dr. Kevin White

Notes de l’épisode
In America, sudden cardiac death kills roughly 300,000 to 400,000 people every year. And in nearly half of those cases, there was no diagnosed heart disease beforehand. Meaning, the person looked fine right up until they weren't.
Dr. Kevin White spent over two decades in the emergency room watching that pattern repeat itself, treating people his age for problems that had been building for years without anyone catching them. That shift is what pushed him out of reactive medicine and into a practice built around finding what's wrong before it becomes an emergency.
His approach starts with a full diagnostic workup instead of a guess, pulling bloodwork, body composition scans, and metabolic markers most doctors never order. From there, he gets into peptides, rapamycin, and PCSK9 inhibitor therapy, and how each one plays a role in his patients' longevity plans.
"I just met a guy who's 88 and goes heli skiing six, seven times a year. I want to live like that." ~ Dr. Kevin White

What Happens Inside Your Body After a Stem Cell Injection | Dr. Jeff Gross

Notes de l’épisode
In the early 80s, a 14-year-old picked up a magazine and read an article that said if you want a Lamborghini, you should become a neurosurgeon. And if you want more than that, become an entrepreneur. Jeff Gross wanted more than one.
After becoming a board-certified neurosurgeon, he spent decades in the operating room before deciding surgery wasn't always the answer he wanted to give his patients. Now, he runs Recellebrate, a regenerative medicine practice built around helping people heal without going under the knife.
Most people think stem cells rebuild damaged tissue directly. Jeff explains why that's not quite right. He also walks us through a disc regeneration therapy he's preparing to launch. And most interestingly, he explains how he became the "Stem Cell Whisperer.”

The Heart Disease Risk Your Cholesterol Test Misses | Christopher Davis, MD

Notes de l’épisode
For decades, if your cholesterol number came back anywhere below 200, your doctor would tell you it's clear. That's supposed to mean you don't have to worry about a heart attack. As Dr. Christopher Davis explains, not quite.
A low number doesn't rule out a blockage. Even if you feel fine, your arteries might not be clean, and that alone could put you on a path toward a heart attack you never saw coming.
We examine results from one of Dr. Davis's patients who had a cholesterol reading around 115, was in good shape, and looked as healthy as could be on paper. Over the next year, his plaque doubled, traced back to pesticide exposure from a house he'd just moved into next to a golf course.
We also get into why a genetic marker called APOE4 can make a keto diet dangerous for certain people, and why a calcium score of zero doesn't mean the arteries are clear.
"You can have a 20% blockage and have a heart attack tomorrow." ~ Christopher Davis, MD

Why Some World Cup Athletes Are Using GLP-1s | Ashley Koff, RD

Notes de l’épisode
If you have talked about weight in the last few years, you’ve had to mention Ozempic, Mounjaro, or any other GLP-1. And of course, you had to agree that GLP-1s are the worst thing to happen to weight loss since someone convinced us that celery has negative calories.
But are these medications really the villain everyone makes them out to be?
Ashley Koff has been studying GLP-1 and GIP since 2004, long before Ozempic became a household name. She calls these medications hormone replacement therapy and builds her entire approach around that idea.
During our conversation, Ashley discussed a client who lost 60 pounds on a GLP-1 and had to relearn her hormones to keep it off. Somewhere in that story is a scale that lies to you and a seven-day trick that can undo years of artificial sweeteners.

Notes de l’épisode
Doctors take an oath to care for their patients, but that care rarely extends to themselves.
Dr. Jerry Mixon spent 21 years as a country doctor delivering babies and setting bones, and by his late 40s, the job had slowly hollowed him out. He was depressed, overweight, exhausted, and watching his marriage fall apart under the hours.
So he decided to test something on himself before he ever offered it to a patient: rebuild every major hormone back to where it stood in his twenties. Now, at 79, he runs three miles most mornings, benches 200 pounds, and still carries the hormone profile of a man half his age.

Notes de l’épisode
As a teenager, Lauren Leiva was diagnosed with Crohn's disease. The steroids doctors put her on broke her bones, changed the shape of her face, and left her looking sick.
She was in and out of hospitals for years, treated by a system that was guessing as much as it was healing, and she remembers feeling like an experiment rather than a patient.
That experience is the reason she built her entire practice around one idea: do no harm. Now known as "The Queen of Biohacking," Dr. Leiva works with everyone from stroke patients to NFL athletes. She also spends as much time warning people about what not to do to their bodies as she does teaching them what works.

Notes de l’épisode
Health has been a sensitive topic in the United States for nearly half a century at this point. So the fact that 9 out of 10 Americans are not metabolically healthy is alarming, to say the least.
While most people are unaware of this, those who are often try to fix the problem by changing their diet. Sure, that helps, but it usually misses the actual switch that needs to be flipped. And that switch is, of course, insulin.
Ben Azadi, a returning guest, has spent years teaching people how to work with that switch instead of around it, and his answer isn't more restrictions. It's knowing when to go into ketosis, and just as importantly, when to come out.

Notes de l’épisode
Cigarette smoking rates have dropped to historic lows. High-quality generic statins are highly affordable. With all of the advanced diagnostics, effective medications, and a better overall understanding of cardiovascular risk, managing cholesterol is easier than ever.
Yet, heart disease still causes roughly 1 in every 3 deaths in the US and is, in fact, the number one cause of death worldwide. For decades, Dr. Alan Rozanski kept seeing patients whose hearts were failing them in ways cholesterol numbers and stress tests couldn't explain.
He stopped looking only at arteries and started looking at the whole person. Movement, mindset, emotion, connection, and purpose all shape a heart's health as much as anything on a chart. That search became the Six Domains of Health, the framework behind his career today.

Notes de l’épisode
Nearly 12 million people are living with Parkinson's disease worldwide, and it's the fastest-growing neurological disorder on the planet. By 2050, that number is expected to more than double to 25 million cases.
Researchers are still racing to understand what actually triggers the disease long before a diagnosis ever happens. Shaina Cahill thinks the answer might start somewhere nobody's looking, and that's the gut.
Years before a Parkinson's diagnosis, most patients already show the same GI issues, and she believes that's not a coincidence but an early warning sign we've been ignoring. Find out all that and much more in this episode.
