How Food Became the Most Socially Acceptable Drug Today With Matty Lansdown
12 mei 2026 · 1 uur 1 min
74% of American adults are overweight. 42% are clinically obese. And almost every one of them can list the foods they shouldn't be eating. So, what's actually going on? Lees meer
That's what started bugging Matty Lansdown when he was working as a cancer researcher and noticed something weird: 80% of the patients walking through the door were overweight, and every one of them already knew their diet was a mess. Knowing clearly wasn't the problem, but something was. That something pulled him out of the lab and into a completely different career.
Today, Matty unpacks why diets keep failing people over and over, how the stuff that happens to us as kids shows up later as the food we can't put down, and why there's a little rebel inside all of us that will burn down anything good unless we give it somewhere to play.
"Food is often used as a distraction or a suppressant, to be able to avoid feeling feelings that are heavy that we don't know what to do with." ~ Matty Lansdown

Why Your Bloodwork May Be Lying To You With Jeffrey Gaal
8 mei 2026 · 1 uur 6 min
You run every test your doctor orders. They all come back fine. But fine compared to who? Compared to the average person, that's anything but healthy. Lees meer
That's the problem Jeffrey Gaal has spent decades thinking about. Through his work at Genetic LifeSpan, he's leading the charge to move people away from outdated benchmarks and into a new era of testing that shows what's happening inside the cell.
Jeffrey walks us through the AgeCode test, which combines genetic predisposition, methylation epigenetics, and intracellular micronutrient data into a 120-page report covering biological age, pace of aging, and 11 key organ systems.
The conversation digs into why a vitamin D reading of 95 can still mean you're critically low at the cellular level, why most of modern medicine is sick care wearing a healthcare label, and why discernment is the greatest gift any of us has.
"We don't have a healthcare system. We have a sick care system. We are in the disease management business. We are not in getting people well." ~ Jeffrey Gaal

Why Women Over 40 Can't Lose Weight (And It's Not Calories) | Dani Conway
28 april 2026 · 1 uur
Have you been eating less, working out more, and still can't seem to shed a single pound? I sat down with Dani Conway to explore why traditional dieting is actually working against your body. Dani overcame a 65-pound weight struggle and severe hormone dysfunction and now helps midlife women do the same. Lees meer
You'll discover why calorie restriction and intermittent fasting are two of the biggest fat-loss mistakes women over 40 make. Dani shares how decades of yo-yo dieting actually downregulate your metabolism, making conventional diets progressively less effective.
She explains why fixing your gut and detoxification pathways should come before addressing hormones. We also cover why protein intake (at least 30–40g per meal) is non-negotiable for body recomposition and how resistance training paired with the right nutrition strategy is the true path to the lean, strong body most women are working so hard for.
“Eating less to weigh less is not metabolic nutrition, but eating more to weigh less is metabolic nutrition.” Dani Conway

How Stem Cells Support Recovery, Energy, and Longevity | Ryan Riley
24 april 2026 · 1 uur 6 min
Your body has everything it needs to heal itself. You just need to know how to activate it. In this episode, I sit down with Ryan Riley to explore a powerful concept that could reshape how we think about aging, recovery, and disease. Lees meer
Ryan breaks down how stem cells function as the body’s natural repair system and why most of us are operating with far fewer of them than we should. We also dig into the science behind endogenous stem cell mobilization and how simple daily habits and targeted supplementation can support long-term health.
We discuss how lifestyle habits like cold plunging, red light therapy, and community connection mobilize your own stem cells. Most importantly, you’ll walk away with a new perspective on longevity, not as avoiding death, but as maximizing life.

21 april 2026 · 1 uur 2 min
What if aging isn’t inevitable but measurable, predictable, and even reversible? In this episode, I sit down with Alina Su to unpack the real science behind biological age and what it actually means for your health and lifespan. Lees meer
We go beyond surface-level “anti-aging” advice and dive into how your organs age differently, why most longevity tests are flawed, and how inflammation accelerates aging. Alina introduces a new data-driven approach to age testing that can pinpoint exactly what’s aging in your body.
You’ll learn how lifestyle changes, not just advanced therapies, can dramatically reverse aging markers. We also explore cutting-edge treatments like plasmapheresis and what’s coming next in longevity science. You don’t need to guess anymore. Aging can be measured, targeted, and improved.

How to Heal Your Child’s Gut Microbiome and Boost Immunity With Dr. Elisa Song
14 april 2026 · 58 min
What if the current rise in childhood anxiety, ADHD, and chronic diseases isn’t a result of genetics, but a broken food and medical system we’ve normalized?

90% of Diets Fail: How to Break the Cycle and Achieve Lasting Health | Carrie Lupoli
20 maart 2026 · 1 uur 4 min
The diet industry is worth $150 billion and is projected to reach $300 billion by 2030, yet it has a 90% failure rate for long-term weight loss success. In this episode, Carrie Lupoli exposes the flaws of traditional dieting methods and explains why they don’t work. Lees meer
Carrie shares the science behind blood sugar regulation and why it’s crucial for true health, and not restrictive diets or depriving yourself of food. She also tackles the psychology behind eating habits, discussing how behavioral science can help us shift our beliefs about food and body image.

How Toxins in Your Cells Cause Chronic Illness and How to Detox | Dr. Daniel Pompa
13 maart 2026 · 1 uur 3 min
The real reason you have low energy, chronic illness, or stubborn weight is not your diet, exercise routine, or stress levels. It’s an issue lying deep within your cells. In today’s episode, I sit down with Dr. Daniel Pompa, a leading expert in longevity, to reveal how toxins sabotage our health and age us faster than we realize.
Dr. Pompa explains how toxins, particularly those accumulated in our cells, are the root cause of many common health issues, including chronic fatigue, hormone imbalances, brain fog, and even autoimmune diseases. We explore the role of cellular detoxification and why conventional approaches often fail to deliver lasting results.
You might be doing everything right, but if your cells are clogged with toxins, true healing is nearly impossible. Tune in to learn how to take control of your health at the cellular level, eliminate toxic buildup, and start living your best life today.

The Real Reason Your Pain Never Goes Away, and the Brain Science That Can End It | Dr. Cuan Wayne
3 maart 2026 · 53 min
Chronic pain doesn't live where you feel it. Dr. Cuan Wayne built an entire protocol around that one idea, and it's changing how people get out of pain for good. Lees meer
In this episode, Dr. Cuan explains why two people can have identical MRI scans and completely opposite pain experiences, and what that tells us about where pain actually comes from. He breaks down why the brain learns pain the same way it learns any skill, and how you can teach it something different.
He walks us through his 10-layer NRE Protocol, the system he created after watching patients get treated, feel better, and keep coming back in pain because no one was addressing the brain side of the equation.
He also shares the five pillars of a nourished brain, and why the one most people skip might be the most important of all.
"Pain is obviously a sensation in your brain. It's always real, but it is in your brain." — Dr. Cuan Wayne

How Telomeres Dictate Your Lifespan and the Science to Lengthen Them for True Age Reversal | Dr. Bill Andrews
27 februari 2026 · 1 uur 7 min
Scientists used to say cells had a countdown timer. Dr. Bill Andrews proved it, then spent decades figuring out how to reset it. Lees meer
In this episode, Dr. Bill Andrews explains why aging isn't just random wear and tear, but an evolved mechanism to eliminate the longer-lived.
He shares the story of discovering the enzyme that can rebuild the ends of our chromosomes, effectively resetting the cellular clock in a petri dish. We explore the reality of gene therapy, why it works, why it's risky, and where you can actually get it today.
He also breaks down the "tug of war" inside your cells, explaining how lifestyle accelerates the loss, and how specific nutraceuticals are finally adding fighters to the other side.

The Wasabi Method: How Shockwave Therapy Rebuilds Damaged Tendons
19 februari 2026 · 2 uur 12 min
Could shockwave therapy be the missing link for better blood flow, faster healing, and improved sexual health? Lees meer
In this powerful episode of Live Beyond the Norms, Chris Burres sits down with Dr. Adam Gavin, founder of the Wasabi Method, to break down how shockwave (radial pressure wave) therapy is transforming recovery, tendon healing, chronic pain, and even performance optimization.
Originally used for breaking up kidney stones, this technology is now clinically validated to:
✔ Increase blood flow
✔ Stimulate angiogenesis (new blood vessel formation)
✔ Release endogenous stem cells
✔ Improve collagen production
✔ Enhance tissue repairDr. Gavin explains why shockwave therapy outperforms massage guns, how it penetrates deeper tissues, and why chronic tendon issues (like plantar fasciitis and tennis elbow) respond so well to this modality.
They also discuss:
- Why trigger points keep coming back and how to eliminate them
- How shockwave therapy strengthens damaged tendons
- The science behind improved sexual health through better circulation
- Why chronic pain isn’t always “in the tissue”
- The difference between radial pressure waves and focused shockwave devicesIf you struggle with injuries, chronic pain, soft tissue dysfunction, or blood flow issues, this episode is a must-watch!

I sat down with Ben Brown, owner of Body Systems and a clinical nutrition expert who works with Fortune 500 companies and pro sports teams like the Arizona Diamondbacks and Golden State Warriors.
We talked about how highly driven entrepreneurs and professionals end up stuck in yo-yo cycles despite crushing it in business, and why adding muscle mass in your 50s and beyond requires completely different thinking than just grinding harder.
Ben shared his journey through H. pylori, gut dysfunction, and finding the sustainable middle ground between extreme restriction and total chaos, plus the actual protein thresholds that trigger muscle protein synthesis as we age.

30 januari 2026 · 1 uur 3 min
Valerie Orsoni lived with constant pain, brain tumors, epilepsy, and a liver drowning in fat. Doctors called it incurable. She refused. Lees meer
Valerie, a French biohacker, has written 55 books in five languages. She has summited the world’s highest peaks despite shattering her ankles over 20 times. She also reversed her father’s “terminal” emphysema, 18 years after doctors gave him six months.
In this episode, we cover how she accidentally cured severe fatty liver using the “wrong” omega-3 dosage. We talk about why she stopped eating all fruits and vegetables to heal decades of SIBO in four weeks. She shares a vitamin C experiment that changed everything and explains how she went from 50% deaf and unable to do one pushup at 50 to zero pain at 55.
Valerie also shares the brutal judo training that taught her to fight back against disease. She explains why traditional medicine failed her for 50 years straight and reveals the surprising link between sinus issues and gut mycotoxins that no doctor caught.

Cellular Detox That Actually Works: From 42 Pounds Overweight to Sprinting Trails at 52 | Tim James
27 januari 2026 · 1 uur 7 min
The chemicals hiding in your shampoo, toothpaste, and grocery store produce might be stealing your energy, focus, and health without you even knowing it. I sat down with Tim to talk about his wild transformation from a stressed-out, sick entrepreneur to someone who now sprints 4-7 miles through the woods twice a week at age 52. Lees meer
We cover how he healed severe gut issues, eczema, and chronic fatigue in just 60 days using wheatgrass, sprouts, and living foods and why most people quit juicing (and what actually works long-term). We talk about the toxic chemicals lurking in everyday products that are poisoning you and your kids and how he turned his kitchen into a sprout-growing operation that helped cancer patients heal naturally.
Tim shares the real story behind teaching 5,500 people in his home, why 9 out of 10 people won't stick with juicing, and the three pillars that fix 80% of health problems in under a year.

Bone Density Secrets and Variable Resistance for Muscle Growth and Hormonal Optimization| Dr. John Jaquish
9 januari 2026 · 1 uur 17 min
Breaking a hip after age 50 carries a shocking 50% chance of death within a year, yet conventional fitness and drugs fall dramatically short of fixing bone loss. Lees meer
I sat down with Dr. John Jaquish, the biomedical engineer behind OsteoStrong and X3, to expose why weightlifting and cardio barely move the needle on bone health or real strength gains. We unpack how high-impact emulation safely triggers massive bone growth, why variable resistance builds far more muscle than barbells ever could, and the game-changing circadian approach to testosterone that delivers steroid-like benefits without the downsides.
John shares the personal story that drove him to invent OsteoStrong for his mother's osteoporosis, the exact loading threshold that stimulates bone growth, and why most gym routines waste time on joint stress instead of real adaptation. We also cover low-carb living, smart use of GLP-1 agonists for resetting cravings, and his upcoming sublingual testosterone protocol that mimics natural pulses for peak performance.

How I Beat Lyme Disease, Mold Toxicity, and Lipedema NATURALLY! | Erika Schlick

She shares how gluten sparked alopecia, why traditional doctors dismissed chronic Lyme, and how shifting to an autoimmune paleo protocol gave her the first real clarity.
We talk about ozone therapy, herbal frequency tinctures, plasmapheresis, and the stem cell treatment that cleared her Lyme symptoms but unexpectedly triggered massive weight gain, leading to her lipedema diagnosis.
Erika also opens up about the dark emotional days, the power of nervous system regulation, and why listening to your body beats blindly following popular trends.

Why Eating Dirt and LPS From Root Vegetables Trains Your Immune System for Better Longevity | Dr. Steven Gundry
2 januari 2026 · 17 min
Ancient humans ate dirt-covered root vegetables and fermented foods loaded with bacterial fragments, and that constant low exposure could explain why modern hygiene is backfiring on our health. Lees meer
I had a great conversation with Dr. Steven Gundry about lipopolysaccharides, those inflammatory molecules from gram-negative bacteria that trigger massive immune reactions when injected, yet seem to calm the system when we eat tiny amounts from plants, spices, grains, and soil.
He explains why he once cursed LPS in earlier books but now sees real benefits from controlled oral exposure, how fermentation has always neutralized harmful lectins, and why pastured chicken is finally becoming easier to find.
We also touch on the hygiene hypothesis, kids eating dirt, dog owners having better microbiomes, and why over-cleanliness might be leaving our immune systems untrained.

How Genomic Precision Medicine and DNA Testing Can Prevent Alzheimer's and Optimize Your Healthspan| Dr. Jeff Graham
23 december 2025 · 1 uur 5 min
Maximizing your healthspan requires understanding your specific genetic blueprint to see how your body processes fats, carbs, and antioxidants. Standard medical school training provides only a fraction of the education needed to understand nutrition and prevention. Lees meer
I sat down with Dr. Jeff Graham to uncover why common health "hacks" like Vitamin E or intermittent fasting might be backfiring based on your DNA. We explore the transition from high-intensity athletics to longevity-focused movement, and how advanced testing identifies disease risks years before they appear on a standard lab report.
Jeff breaks down the impact of the APOE and MTHFR genes on brain health, the surprising anti-inflammatory benefits of sardines, and why muscle mass is your greatest currency as you age. We also discuss the future of AI in diagnostics, the truth about CrossFit injuries, and why contrast therapy is a non-negotiable for cellular resilience.

Do Your Hair Follicles Hold the Key to Reversing Aging and Restoring Youth?
19 december 2025 · 1 uur 9 min
Your youngest, healthiest cells already exist, and they might be the key to repairing skin, hair, joints, immunity, and aging itself. Lees meer
Microplastics, pharmaceuticals, and chronic stress get a lot of attention in longevity, but almost no one talks about what happens when your body runs out of high-quality repair cells. I sat down with Dr. Drew Taylor to discuss why aging accelerates as stem cell reserves decline and how banking your best cells today could change how you heal decades from now.
Drew breaks down why hair follicles are the most accessible source of powerful stem cells, how cryopreservation freezes your biology in time, and why this acts like biological health insurance. We also discuss the science behind secretomes, immune aging, orthopedic recovery, skin regeneration, and why medicine is shifting toward prevention rather than damage control.

The Seven-Tier Hormone Optimization System That Fixes ED, Brain Fog, and Metabolic Chaos From the Inside Out | Miguel & Carlos Bertonatti
16 december 2025 · 1 uur 24 min
Microplastics are now showing up inside human reproductive organs, while endocrine-disrupting chemicals wreck hormonal health from every angle. The standard medical system often dismisses these environmental toxins as normal despite the massive impact on performance and longevity. Lees meer
Miguel Bertonatti was a shredded eighteen-year-old suffering from erectile dysfunction, while his brother Carlos was surviving on whiskey and sixty milligrams of Adderall just to function. They stopped accepting normal as a diagnosis and built a medical practice that treats the individual rather than the average.
In this episode, we discuss why standard lab ranges often fail to catch serious issues and how genetic mutations like MTHFR might be the actual culprit behind ADHD symptoms. The brothers also break down their seven-tier optimization hierarchy, which moves from fundamental hormone balance all the way to advanced genetic repair.
"Every male testicle in 2024 was found to have microplastics, meaning, when your real hormones need to attach, there's no place for them." - Miguel Bertonatti

20-Minute Full Body Workouts That Feel Like Two-Hour Gym Sessions: The EMS Training Revolution | Alec Oliver
12 december 2025 · 1 uur 9 min
A single 20-minute session in a wireless suit left my wife sore for six days and turned a fit CrossFitter into someone who suddenly felt the barbell was loaded wrong because he got dramatically stronger after just two workouts. Alec Oliver, the founder of SQAI, brought elite-athlete electrical muscle stimulation out of secret training rooms and million-dollar clinics and made it something you can own, control from your phone, and use while you watch TV.

We go hard on the science of why EMS recruits twice the muscle fibers, no matter how heavy you lift, and how it hits fast-twitch fibers on demand, so you keep explosive power into your 70s and 80s. We also discuss why EMS builds bone density from both sides of every joint, and how a $99/month suit is quietly becoming the biggest longevity hack most people still don’t know exists.
“I don’t care how heavy you lift, I don’t care how fast you run or how high you jump. EMS is just science. It activates twice as many muscle fibers and acts more deeply and more comprehensively.” Alec Oliver

9 december 2025 · 1 uur 5 min
That random itchy tingle under your skin, the brain fog that hits every afternoon, the tight calves and plantar fasciitis that won’t quit… turns out those aren’t “just aging.” They’re red flags your body waves when old infections are quietly camping out in your organs, speeding up the clock.

He also reveals the herbs, labs, and daily habits that actually clear them.
"If you get random, painful itchiness, tingling under your skin, like it's right below the surface, it could be anywhere. That's usually some form of virus." - Dr. Chris Motley

Seven Paradigms That Could Add 20 Years to Your Healthspan - Dr. Kavin Mistry
5 december 2025 · 1 uur
Reading half a million brain scans taught Dr. Kavin Mistry one wild truth: some 80-year-olds have brains that look 40, while plenty of 50-year-olds already look 90. He cracked the code on why that happens and turned it into seven simple paradigms that don’t just slow aging; they actually rewind the clock on your cells. Lees meer
We unpack his Amazon #1 bestseller, Primal Health Design, the tribe in Africa that basically never gets chronic diseases, why every single fear (yes, even public speaking) traces back to fear of death, and the morning ritual that drops resting heart rate like a switch. If you want to look younger on scans, feel sharper, and finally stop stressing about tomorrow, this one hits different.
"When you think you have an infinite life, you play a finite game. But when you understand that you have a finite life, then you have an infinite mindset." Dr. Kavin Mistry
