| 13 Jun 2024 | Why "Healthy" Foods May Be Making You Sick, And What To Do For A Healthier, Longer Life - Dr. Gundry | 00:57:22 | |
Have you ever felt like you're doing everything "right" for your health, but still feel lousy? The truth is, even the healthiest-seeming diets can be sabotaging your well-being if your gut is in trouble. And the scary part? Most doctors don't even know how to spot the signs. In this episode, I hosted Dr. Steven Gundry, a man who has revolutionized the way we think about health and disease. As a former heart surgeon, Dr. Gundry's journey from the operating room to the forefront of gut health research is nothing short of remarkable. During our conversation, Dr. Gundry shared the pivotal moment that changed the course of his career. It all started with a patient named "Big Ed," who challenged Dr. Gundry's conventional understanding of health and nutrition. This encounter sparked a relentless pursuit of the true root cause of disease, leading Dr. Gundry to the gut. Through years of research and clinical experience, Dr. Gundry discovered an undeniable link between leaky gut and a host of chronic illnesses, from autoimmune disorders to heart disease and even cancer. But there's hope. Dr. Gundry offers practical, science-backed solutions for healing the gut, optimizing nutrition, and reversing disease. He shares the two most important blood tests for longevity, the power of time-restricted eating, and the surprising benefits of cold toast. Dr. Gundry's insights will challenge your beliefs, expand your understanding, and inspire you to take charge of your well-being. "All disease begins in the gut. Perhaps another way of thinking about this is death begins in the gut." ~ Dr. Steven Gundry Guest Bio Dr. Steven Gundry is a renowned cardiothoracic surgeon, pioneer in nutrition, and New York Times bestselling author. After a distinguished surgical career, Dr. Gundry shifted his focus to reversing disease through nutrition.

| 14 Jun 2024 | How You Can Live 3X Longer with Stem Cell Therapy | 00:39:37 | |
What if there was a way to infuse your body with the intelligence to repair itself and 3x extend your healthspan? According to UCLA-trained physician and longevity expert Dr. Joy Kong, stem cells may hold the answer. As the President of Uplyft Longevity Center in Los Angeles, Dr. Kong specializes in cutting-edge regenerative medicine like stem cell and peptide therapy. Named the "Stem Cell Doctor of the Decade," she's at the forefront of research investigating how stem cells could be the key to conquering chronic diseases and enhancing vitality at any age. While many chase an elusive "fountain of youth" pill, Dr. Kong emphasizes that stem cells work by tapping into the innate wisdom already encoded in our DNA. By reintroducing that intelligence into an aging body, stem cells can guide tissues to regenerate and function optimally again. So, could stem cells help us live forever? Not quite, says Dr. Kong. While the pursuit of extreme longevity is a hot topic, Dr. Kong emphasizes the importance of focusing on healthspan over lifespan. Her goal is to help people live vibrant, active lives well into their 100s, rather than simply aiming for immortality. Dr. Kong also debunks common myths about stem cells, such as the belief that using your own cells is always better. In fact, younger cells from the umbilical cord or placenta have been shown to be more potent, with longer telomeres and greater anti-inflammatory properties. Whether you're seeking to optimize your health in your prime or turn back the clock in your later years, this eye-opening discussion will leave you inspired by the transformative potential of regenerative medicine. Tune in to discover how stem cells could hold the key to unlocking a longer, healthier life. "It's really the intelligence that these [stem] cells can transfer to the body...we are infusing intelligence, and that intelligence can guide the body in repair." ~Dr. Joy Kong

| 18 Jun 2024 | Secrets of Living Better and Longer with Intermittent Fasting | 01:06:31 | |
Wondering how to tap into an ancient mechanism in your body to optimize health, slow aging, and effortlessly maintain your ideal weight - without giving up your favorite foods? Top health influencer and podcaster Melanie Avalon reveals how the practice of intermittent fasting holds the key. So what makes intermittent fasting so effective compared to traditional calorie restriction? As Melanie explains, prolonged calorie restriction without adequate nutrition can slow metabolism and lead to muscle wasting. But intermittent fasting preserves lean mass by tapping into stored body fat for energy during the fasting state. This metabolic switch triggers autophagy, a cellular clean-up process that Melanie likens to "taking out the trash" in the body. She reveals her personal approach to a daily fasting window, and how finding the right timing can make the practice effortless and enjoyable. If you're tired of feeling trapped by hunger and ready to experience food freedom and vibrant health, you won't want to miss this engaging exploration of intermittent fasting with one of the leading voices in the field. “It's really ironic because you think that when you're fasting, it's a deficit of energy, but really it's an abundance of energy because most of us store thousands and thousands of calories just waiting to be burned on our body." - Melanie Avalon Guest Bio Melanie Avalon is a top health influencer, podcaster, and app creator dedicated to helping others optimize their health through intermittent fasting and lifestyle changes. As the host of the top-rated Intermittent Fasting Podcast and the creator of the Apple app "Food Sense Guide," Melanie has established herself as a leading voice in the wellness world.

| 25 Jun 2024 | How Sitting in a Sauna 4X a Week Can Make You Live 40% Longer | 00:56:33 | |
What if sitting in a sauna for just 20 minutes, 4 times per week, could reduce your risk of dying from all causes by nearly 40%? According to peer-reviewed research on over 2,000 people, that's exactly what this ancient ritual can do. Sauna expert Brian Richards reveals why this practice is so powerful for healing the body at the deepest level. As Brian explains, the key lies in raising your core temperature by 3 degrees, sweating out a pound of water, and reaching a state of mild exhaustion. This triggers a cascade of healing effects, such as producing heat shock proteins that optimize cell function and releasing toxins through sweat. But not all saunas are created equal. Brian shares why the incandescent bulbs used in his "electric light bath" provide a major upgrade to the benefits of heat by delivering therapeutic near-infrared light. This little-known spectrum of sunlight penetrates deep into tissues, stimulating repair and regeneration from the inside out. If you're looking for a science-backed way to live longer, beat chronic illness, and achieve a state of blissful relaxation, you won't want to miss Brian's insider tips on building the ideal sauna habit. "The human body is the most beautifully engineered tool that we have in our universe. It works really well if it's given the basic modicum of what it needs. And one of the things that it needs is the maintenance, the cleaning out, and it's something that we forget." - Brian Richards Guest Bio Brian Richards is the founder of SaunaSpace, a company dedicated to bringing the healing power of sauna therapy into the modern world. After using sauna to overcome his own health challenges, Brian became passionate about optimizing the practice for 21st-century needs.

In the quest to live longer, healthier lives, the anti-aging industry is rife with overhyped "longevity hacks" - from supplements to medications to injection therapies. But according to Dr. Brad Stanfield, a physician who has intensively studied the research, most of these purported shortcuts simply don't stand up to scientific scrutiny.

For 14 years, Andrea Donsky navigated perimenopause unknowingly, battling symptoms she didn’t realize were tied to hormonal shifts. Now a published researcher and menopause educator with nearly 350,000 TikTok followers, Andrea is rewriting the narrative around “the change.”
Through her platform, We Are Morphus, Andrea combines science-backed supplements, nutritional strategies, and raw honesty to help women reclaim control. In this episode, Andrea breaks down the biggest misconceptions around perimenopause and menopause, the 103 symptoms women should be aware of (yes, there are way more than the 34 you’ve heard about), and the crucial role that sleep, nutrition, and mindset play in navigating this life stage. "We are not going into perimenopause and menopause quietly. We’re screaming it from the rooftops to change the story for all women coming after us." ~ Andrea Donsky About Andrea Donsky: Resources Mentioned: - Book: Unjunk Your Junk Food by Andrea Donsky (2011): https://a.co/d/7tcA6fV - Podcast: Menopause Reimagined: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/menopause-reimagined-with-andrea-donsky/id1541865659 Connect with Andrea Donsky: - Website: https://wearemorphus.com/ - TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@andreadonsky - Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/andreadonsky - LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/andreadonsky/ Connect with Chris Burres: - Website: https://www.myvitalc.com/ - Website: http://www.livebeyondthenorms.com/ - Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chrisburres/ - TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@myvitalc - LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chrisburres/ | |||

Aging isn’t just about the years you accumulate—it’s about how well your body holds up along the way. According to Dr. Gregory Kelly, the key to longevity isn’t just diet and exercise—it’s eliminating the "zombie cells" that could be making you age faster than you should.

| 25 Mar 2025 | The Autoimmune Spectrum: Dr. David Bilstrom on Reversing Chronic Disease & Preventing Future Illness | 01:13:36 | |
Nearly 60% of Americans have at least one chronic disease, and an estimated 1 in 10 suffers from an autoimmune disorder. But what if these numbers drastically underestimate the issue? Research suggests up to 80% of Americans show signs of inflammation, a major driver of autoimmune conditions. In this episode, Dr. David Bilstrom, a quadruple board-certified physician and director of the International Autoimmune Institute, breaks down the science of why autoimmune diseases are skyrocketing, why most treatments focus on the wrong things, and how you can actually address the root causes before it’s too late. If you or someone you love struggles with chronic inflammation, fatigue, or brain fog or has ever been told “it’s just genetics,” this episode is a must-listen. "The body's default mode is always to move towards wellness. It just inherently fixes things. If you cut yourself, you don't go, 'Great, I'm going to have this open wound my whole life.' The body heals it." ~ Dr. David Bilstrom About Dr. David Bilstrom: Dr. David Bilstrom is a medical doctor and quadruple board certified in functional and regenerative medicine, integrative medicine, physical medicine and rehabilitation, and medical acupuncture.

| 01 Apr 2025 | Traditional Chinese Medicine: Brehan Crawford on Healing Chronic Conditions, Stress Resilience & Energy Flow | 00:59:38 | |
The human body possesses remarkable self-healing abilities that conventional medicine often overlooks when treating chronic conditions like fibromyalgia, IBS, and long COVID. Many sufferers cycle through endless medical appointments, medications with diminishing returns, and growing frustration as their symptoms persist despite "normal" test results. In this episode, Brehan Crawford, founder of Crawford Wellness and expert in traditional Chinese medicine, reveals how this 2,000-year-old medical system addresses chronic conditions through a holistic approach to infection, inflammation, and autonomic healing. Whether you're dealing with persistent health issues, curious about alternatives to conventional medicine, or simply want to understand the power of herbal remedies, Qigong, and acupuncture, this conversation offers practical insights into ancient healing wisdom that modern science is finally beginning to validate. "A very natural thing to do when we experience pain is to dissociate from that pain. Unfortunately, that makes us less aware of what the internal processes are in our body that are creating that pain, and then it's harder to address them." ~ Brehan Crawford About Brehan Crawford: Brehan Crawford is the founder of Crawford Wellness and co-founder of Chorus for Life, specializing in treating chronic infections and post-infectious symptoms like long COVID, fibromyalgia, IBS, and POTS. With 15 years of clinical experience in Traditional Chinese Medicine, Brehan combines herbal medicine, Qigong, and acupuncture to help patients achieve lasting remission from chronic conditions.

But if you walk into a typical doctor’s office today, chances are you're only getting patched up—not actually fixed. Dr. Elizabeth Yurth thinks it’s time for a serious shift. As a double board-certified MD with 30 years in orthopedic and regenerative medicine, Dr. Yurth spent decades treating pro athletes and performing surgeries—until she realized surgery alone wasn’t truly solving the problem. So she flipped the script. In this episode, she unpacks the science that traditional medicine keeps missing: how to actually heal joints, regenerate cartilage, reboot mitochondrial health, and strengthen the immune system in a toxic world that’s constantly beating it down. Her approach? Go deep on cellular pathways, not just surface-level symptoms. You’ll hear why osteoarthritis isn’t a wear-and-tear issue, the hidden dangers of loading up on NAD, and why homeostasis—not high or low—is the name of the longevity game. “If you fix the cell, you fix everything. You fix every disease that's going to happen to you.” ~ Dr. Elizabeth Yurth About Dr. Elizabeth Yurth: Dr. Elizabeth Yurth is the Co-Founder and Chief Medical Officer of the Boulder Longevity Institute, where she leads cutting-edge work in regenerative medicine, cellular health, and human optimization. With over 30 years as an orthopedic specialist and multiple board certifications—including in Anti-Aging & Regenerative Medicine—Dr. Yurth combines deep clinical experience with the latest science in peptides, mitochondria, and performance medicine. She consults with professional athletes worldwide, speaks nationally at top medical conferences, and helps everyday people take back control of their health and longevity.
