Alzheimer's isn't just a diagnosis that shows up in old age. It's a slow metabolic unraveling that can start decades before the first symptom. In this episode, Jeff sits down with Dr. David Perlmutter, a board-certified neurologist and author of the new book Brain Defenders (out August 18), to unpack what's really driving Alzheimer's and other neurodegenerative diseases. They get into the brain's own immune system, the microglial cells that either protect or destroy your neurons, and why the beta-amyloid hypothesis may have sent decades of research down the wrong path. Why microglia, not amyloid plaques, may be the true driver of brain degeneration The link between insulin resistance, blood sugar, and neuroinflammation How the gut microbiome and oral health shape the brain's immune response Practical diet, sleep, and supplement strategies to protect your brain starting now This episode is for anyone who wants to understand Alzheimer's prevention before symptoms start, and for the millions currently caring for a parent or partner facing cognitive decline.

On his 25th wedding anniversary, Jeff tucks his daughter Micah into bed and tells her a fairy tale — except this one is true. It's the story of how he met her mother. In this episode, that story unfolds: a freshman art history class in 1988, a late entrance, a grapefruit, and instant infatuation. Jeff traces 25 years of courtship, marriage, and three daughters through fable, wit, and unvarnished tenderness, closing on a wish Micah won't fully understand until she's older. This is the fourth episode of Diaries of a Dance Dad, an audio memoir series in Jeff's own words. It spans the full arc of parenthood: the inhale of birth and early chaos, the grind of no sleep and travel with kids, the gut-punches of failure, and the slow exhale of letting go.

Trauma isn't what happened to you, it's the wound it left behind. In this episode, Jeff revisits his conversation with Dr. Gabor Maté, physician and author, exploring why the effects of trauma can outlast the event itself, and why chronic illness is so often the body asking us to pay attention. Why "normal" isn't the same as healthy The difference between a traumatic event and the trauma itself How disconnecting from ourselves can show up as physical illness What forgiveness actually has to do with healing This episode is for anyone who has wondered why some wounds take longer to heal than others.

To his three daughters, Jeff is just "there" — a treasured family heirloom, the silver platter that lives on the shelf and rarely gets used. In this episode, Jeff surfaces from five delirious days of stomach flu, his girls recording TikTok dances around his sickbed, and uses the quiet to trace the unglamorous work of fathering: dawn walks through Williamsburg with a baby zipped against his chest, bedtime reading marathons that ended only when sleep finally won, and the slow shift from carrying his daughters to chauffeuring them. Schuyler joins to talk about what remains when influence gives way to presence, and why the thing that matters most may be the least visible — showing up every day and asking nothing in return. This is the 5th episode of Diaries of a Dance Dad, an audio memoir series in Jeff's own words. It spans the full arc of parenthood: the inhale of birth and early chaos, the grind of no sleep and travel with kids, the gut-punches of failure, and the slow exhale of letting go.

Andrew Huberman has talked about it. Joe Rogan uses it. Nicotine for focus has become one of the loudest trends in optimization culture, marketed as a clean stimulant for your prefrontal cortex. In this episode, the "Is This Right for Me?" series separates the real pharmacology from the marketing. How nicotine acts on attention, memory, and dopamine What a major meta-analysis found, and how small the effect really is Why nicotine pouches and Zyn carry risks that caffeine does not The difference between harm reduction for smokers and a nootropic for everyone else What actually builds durable focus instead of renting it This episode is for anyone curious about nicotine pouches, focus and cognition, or the gap between wellness claims and evidence.   This episode was made possible by: CocoaVia: Use code COMMUNE2026 for 25% off at CocoaVia.com Stemregen: Get 20% off your first order at stemregen.co/commune with the code COMMUNEPOD Vivobarefoot: Try Vivobarefoot risk-free with a 100-day return guarantee, and get 25% off your order at vivobarefoot.com/commune.

The early years of parenthood are spent almost entirely in bed — and almost never asleep. In this episode, Jeff revisits the co-sleeping years: a toddler who slept sideways, turning three bodies into a capital "H" and pushing both parents to the far edges of a California King; the strange comfort of dangling half off the mattress; and the parade of baubles that promise to ease new parenthood — chief among them the peerless My Brest Friend nursing pillow. Schuyler joins to walk through the Bugaboo prams, the Dutailier glider, the bedtime ritual of "steam roller," and the 3 a.m. bargain of whispering "give it to me" to a feverish kid. This is part of Diaries of a Dance Dad, an audio memoir series in Jeff's own words. It spans the full arc of parenthood: the inhale of birth and early chaos, the grind of no sleep and travel with kids, the gut-punches of failure, and the slow exhale of letting go.

Late-night comedy isn't dying. It's being rebuilt outside the corporate system. In this episode, Jeff sits down with comedian Ben Gleib, host and creator of "Good Night with Ben Gleib," the first creator-owned late-night talk show built for YouTube, to talk about comedy, resilience, and why laughter might be the most underrated health practice there is. They get into: How staying present defuses pressure, why owning your mistakes onstage builds trust, and what it takes to bring people together in a divided, doom-scrolling world. Why comedy is a real tool for resilience and lower stress How to stay calm when a moment goes sideways Rebuilding late night without a network or a corporate owner Cold plunges, Wim Hof, and reframing discomfort Speaking honestly without just preaching to the choir This episode is for anyone who loves comedy, thinks about resilience and presence, or wants a smarter take on how late night and online community are changing.

Two kids, you play man-to-man. Three, and suddenly you're outnumbered and forced into zone defense, not to mention a Toyota Highlander with a third row. Micah was Jeff & Schuyler's third daughter, the one they never planned to have. This week, Jeff tells the birth story of his third daughter, born in the same Williamsburg basement as Lolli - except he doesn't remember it. Sleep deprivation wiped the day clean, so he handed the mic to Schuyler and her mother, Grannie Annie, whose handwritten account fills in the rest. What unspools is the family's defining cautionary tale, the "Prada handbag" - their shorthand for a first-world problem dressed up as principle. A blocked ureter, a kidney swollen to the size of a cantaloupe, thirty pounds lost over a month of crawling on all fours. And at the end of it, a baby born still sealed in her caul, the talisman sailors once paid a fortune to carry against drowning. This is the third episode of Diaries of a Dance Dad, an audio memoir series in Jeff's own words. It spans the full arc of parenthood: the inhale of birth and early chaos, the grind of no sleep and travel with kids, the gut-punches of failure, and the slow exhale of letting go.

What if the goal isn't just living longer, but feeling vital the whole way through? Peptides have jumped from the fringe to the mainstream, and most of what you'll find online comes from dubiously credentialed sources. In this episode, Jeff sits down with Dr. Aleksandra Gajer, an emergency medicine physician who spent a decade in the ER before founding The Gajer Practice and moving into longevity and regenerative medicine. They unpack what peptides really are and how to think clearly about a fast-moving, lightly regulated space. The conversation covers: What peptides actually are, and why insulin and GLP-1s belong to the same family BPC-157 and TB-500 for healing tendons, ligaments, and stubborn injuries Growth hormone-promoting peptides like sermorelin and tesamorelin for muscle and body composition The gray market, compounding pharmacies, and the FDA's shifting rules Cancer risks, contraindications, and who should be cautious This episode is for anyone curious about peptide therapy, longevity, and healing who wants grounded information instead of internet hype. Learn more about Dr. Aleksandra Gajer and The Gajer Practice at thegajerpractice.com. The practice offers telemedicine consultations nationwide, plus a course for clinicians who want to integrate peptides into their work (found in the About section of the site).

When the contractions were two minutes apart, Jeff's phone chirped out the opening riff of Ice Ice Baby. That was the ringtone for Kara, the midwife. He picked up and she said, "Are you sitting down?" She wasn't coming. This week, Jeff tells the birth story of his second daughter, Ondine, aka Lolli — born in a Brooklyn basement that wasn't exactly Gatsby. When the model-turned-midwife got swept up in a home birth documentary and the backup landed two hours north on I-87, Jeff took off his clothes, got in the tub, and resolved to deliver his own baby — until Miriam walked through the door in the bottom of the ninth and caught their little wave with her bare hands. Schuyler joins him to unpack it all: the glam East Village midwife, the bagels, the old wives' tale that you only ever get two out of three (easy pregnancy, easy labor, easy baby), and what an emergency reveals about who you actually are. This is the second episode of Diaries of a Dance Dad, an audio memoir series in Jeff's own words. It spans the full arc of parenthood: the inhale of birth and early chaos, the grind of no sleep and travel with kids, the gut-punches of failure, and the slow exhale of letting go.

We have godlike technology running on brains that haven't had an upgrade in millions of years. In this episode, Jeff sits down with Steven Kotler, peak performance expert and founder of the Flow Research Collective, to explore how exponential technology is reshaping our minds, our food systems, and the planet. Drawing on his new book with Peter Diamandis, We Are As Gods, Steven explains why so many of us feel overwhelmed, why he's most hopeful about the planet's wild places, and how flow states can restore focus and creativity in the age of AI. Why technological change went from linear to exponential Information overload, cognitive overload, and burnout How flow restores focus, creativity, and lateral thinking Cultured meat, vertical farming, and rewilding the planet Truth filters and first-principle thinking for the attention economy Finding meaning and purpose as AI reshapes work This episode is for anyone who feels stretched thin by technology and wants practical tools to think clearly, perform better, and reclaim their attention.

In this episode, Jeff shares the birth story of their eldest daughter, tracing the unlikely path from a cramped Manhattan seminar with midwifery legend Ina May Gaskin to a blustery August delivery at the old family cottage in Fenwick, Connecticut, and the two weeks it took to finally name her. This is the first episode of Diaries of a Dance Dad, an audio memoir series in Jeff's own words.

Parenthood can feel like a never-ending carpool. But every so often, buried somewhere in the immense haystack of putrid adolescent laundry, you step on a spiritual needle… and experience a satori. Diaries of a Dance Dad is a podcast about raising three daughters, Jeff Krasno's beloved estrogen footprint. These essays are harrowing and hilarious in equal measure. They will make you laugh. They will make you cry. And they will remind you that the mundane is, in fact, miraculous. Each week, Jeff reads directly from his collection stories excavated from the deepest rough, polished into something worth carrying. Fatherhood, marriage, the slow surrender of control, the shock of being loved - all of it lives here. Jeff Krasno is the co-founder of Commune and host of the Commune podcast. He lives in Los Angeles with his wife Schuyler and three daughters who do not listen to him but never fail to imitate him.

Gabby Bernstein, #1 New York Times bestselling author and spiritual teacher, spent years in perimenopause without ever naming it, until menopause hit at 44 and she came out the other side in what she calls a kind of resurrection. In this episode, she and Jeff trace that path: the unraveling, the hormones, the strength training, and the spiritual reckoning underneath all of it. They get specific about the physical and the spiritual at once: hormones, muscle, and the inner work that made the rest possible. Perimenopause symptoms that often go unrecognized in your 30s and 40s Hormone optimization, HRT, and microdosing testosterone for women Strength training, protein, and protecting muscle as you age Internal Family Systems and healing core wounds through transition This episode is for anyone navigating menopause, rethinking women's hormone health, or looking for a grounded spiritual practice to move through a hard season.

NAD+ has become the longevity industry's favorite molecule, sold as as a supplement and as a four-hour IV that promises sharper thinking, more energy, and slower aging. But a new 2026 paper complicates the very story it was built on. In this episode, Jeff breaks down what NAD+ actually is, what the human trials really show, and why the gap between a $40 oral supplement and a $1,200 IV drip matters more than the marketing admits. You'll learn about: What NAD+ does in the body and why it got tied to aging The new research questioning whether NAD+ truly declines with age Oral NR and NMN versus IV infusions, and what the evidence supports The risks rarely mentioned, including the cancer question Why the saline, B vitamins, and forced rest may explain how good people feel This episode is for anyone weighing NAD+, longevity supplements, or an IV drip, and who wants to tell real science from wellness hype first.

In this episode, Jeff sits down with Sam Harris, neuroscientist, author, and creator of the Waking Up meditation app, for part two of a two-part conversation.

Liver detoxes are a $10 billion industry. The liver is also the most regenerative organ in the body, running its own continuous cleanse without your help. In this episode of The Commune Podcast, Jeff Krasno walks through what's actually known about liver health, from juice cleanses to gallbladder flushes to the supplements lining every wellness aisle.
