Learn about the essential nutritional changes, the role of medications, and when to consider them—all with the goal of achieving a longer, healthier, and more vibrant life.

We are witnessing the era of drug therapy for weight loss treatment. In reality pharmacology has been available for over 50 years. There has been a reluctance on the part of doctors to use drug therapy, and a bias within the society at large. This episode expands your knowledge about possible drug treatment options. It also reflects upon the long-term risks of drug treatment, and how to manage pharmacology when target weight has been achieved.   The brain defends its weight. Regaining is almost inevitable. Knowing which drugs to use, when to use them, and how to combine them is critical for long-term success

Medical screening seems like a good idea. Doesn't it make sense to look for something when you feel healthy so that a bad outcome can be prevented? Doesn't it make sense to try to find something early before can harm you? This intuitive wisdom gets applied to many tests in the medical world. It just doesn't hold up. The combination of fear, and blind faith in modern medicine have driven many of us to get testing done that can harm us and has not shown to have significant value to prevent anything bad from happening. Find out which four of these common tests I recommend you reconsider, or entirely avoid.

  When it comes to administering hormone therapy you have several options. Hormones can be injected, taken by mouth, applied as topical creams, or implanted as pellets. What are the pros and cons of each approach? There are some providers who falsely claim that one method is intrinsically superior, or that some of the methods have disproportionate risk. Such claims are all false. With regard to risk all forms of hormone administration are the same. That is to say, they all have extraordinarily low risk. When it comes to clinical effects, what matters the most is the positive impact they will have on your vitality. Although you cannot re-create the natural pattern of hormone release, you can address the symptoms of hormonal depletion. The approach you pick will be based largely on your personal preference. This podcast will help you separate unsubstantiated opinions, from the current facts regarding methods of application.

In medicine developing a "consensus" is nothing more than a majority agreeing with the same approach. Consensus, even in the absence of strong evidence, can turn into a dogma that defies modification by reason. In this episode we reflect on some of the dogmas, and how they can affect your healthcare freedom and your opportunity for truly honest informed consent. Fear of hormones, belief in the virtue of mammograms, the overuse of imaging studies all have elements of dogma that propel their use far beyond what reason would otherwise indicate. If you're prepared, you have a better chance to direct your own healthcare and defy the coercion of dogma. 

In his State of the Union address in 1971, Richard Nixon made a special request for an extra $100 million to find a cure for cancer. Here we are over 50 years later and cancer has become if anything more of a problem than ever. 50 years, billions of dollars, cancer rates extending to more younger people, breast cancer at epidemic levels, what went wrong?   Cancer is a cellular disease. Waiting for tumors to emerge, and then attempting to kill them, is not the best approach. What can be done instead? A different approach is needed. Archaeological evidence supports the likelihood that cancer was a rare disease before the industrial age. In many ways it seems we brought this disease upon ourselves. It's time to reframe the challenge. This podcast gives examples of an alternative approach that offers the opportunity for better, healthier living with less cancer.

Libido, sex drive, desire, without it our species would become extinct. For such a critical part of human existence it remains shrouded in mystery and misunderstanding.   What are the ingredients that make up a healthy sex drive? What is the range of normal with regard to sexual desire and sexual activity? What are the important elements necessary to keep our sexual vitality throughout the span of our life? How often do healthy couples have sex? What is the normal frequency of achieving climax when having sex? These and other questions will be addressed.   That we have a sexual desire makes us innately human. What we do with that desire is our choice to make. In this episode I share with you my decades of clinical experience and research regarding the range of sexual desire and sexual behavior from puberty through the entire lifespan.

Ozzy is getting stem cells for his Parkinson's disease. Like many other chronic degenerative conditions there is no cure for Parkinson's. The same could be said for arthritis, heart disease, autoimmune diseases, in fact the aging process itself! In the face of inevitable decay, stem cells offer hope. Studies have demonstrated stem cells to be very safe. Their biological purpose is indisputable, they are attracted to and repair damaged cells. Early studies have pointed toward benefit in a wide array of conditions including liver disease, lung disease, arthritis, autoimmune illnesses, and aging frailty itself.   The availability of stem cells has expanded beyond the realm of celebrities and the wealthy. This episode will give you a base of knowledge that can be utilized as you reflect upon ways to address your own health, and your own antiaging lifestyle. Stem cells are not just for the rich and famous, they are now for everyday people. The critical component is an honest and thorough consultative reflection before embarking on a treatment pathway.

Conventional medicine treats joint and tendon injuries by blocking pain, and using drugs that accelerate decay even if they provide temporary comfort. Over the past 10 years there has been an explosion in our understanding about how to regenerate joints, regrow cartilage, make tendons and ligaments more elastic and pliable, in essence regenerate our musculoskeletal system without drugs or surgery. The problem is that conventional medicine is stuck in the insurance reimbursement pattern. They do what they get paid for. If you want real regenerative health for your joints you will need to find it from an antiaging specialist.   But what to choose? There is so much out there and it all sounds wonderful. This podcast covers the main regenerative treatments currently available including shockwave therapy, ozone, PRP, and stem cells.   You will come away with a new appreciation of what to avoid, and with the new sense of hopefulness about your musculoskeletal system serving you well throughout the span of your wonderful, long life!

If a substance is a part of nature then it is very unlikely to become a part of mainstream medicine. If it can't be patented, if it can't be turned into a highly profitable product, then it's not going to see the light of day. Such is the fate of ozone! Remarkably healing, incredibly safe, capable of killing bacteria, fungi, viruses and mold, regenerative to joints and stimulating to cellular energy, there's much to love about ozone. Medical grade ozone gas is an important part of antiaging medicine. We use it to rejuvenate joints. Intravenous ozone can stimulate the immune system and support tissue oxygenation. Gently applied Rectal ozone can support patients fighting Crohn's, ulcerative colitis, diverticulitis and other chronic inflammatory bowel conditions. Ozone helps the body to heal itself and can spare you the trauma of surgery, or the toxicity of drugs.

For 70 years we have been taking prostate glands out of men in an attempt to "cure" prostate cancer. For about the same length of time we have been sticking needles in prostate glands in a scavenger hunt looking for cancer cells. These approaches seem logical and have become the standard of care. But there is a problem, the current approach to diagnosing and treating prostate cancer has not been demonstrated to actually cure cancer, or even help men live longer. On the other hand biopsies, surgery and radiation cause harm. How did we get stuck in this place, and is there anything we can do about it?   Intellectual Medicine proposes an alternative approach to evaluating and managing suspected prostate cancer that does not involve sticking needles in the prostate, surgery or radiation. For some men this approach will offer them a welcomed option.   Above all else ask questions, gather information, then reflect upon how you want to manage your health. This podcast will help to give you a unique perspective worthy of considering

Knowing your obesity type can help guide your treatment decisions. Over my 30 years of treating obesity I have identified three basic types of obesity. Most people will have a dominant obesity type. Some people will have combinations. This podcast continues to share with listeners the hope that has come from the success of the Intellectual Medicine approach to weight management, including identifying your obesity type. You can succeed with the right treatment. You need the correct diagnosis to know the right treatment. Identifying your obesity type is a valuable step in that process

Many doctors and patients mistakenly focus on blood testing to make this determination. There only two things that matter when it comes to deciding whether or not testosterone levels are adequate. You will learn both in this podcast. Armed with that knowledge you can reflect upon whether or not it is time for you to consider restoring youthful levels of testosterone.   As always we bring you headlines from the world of medicine including the risk of your exposure to unknown toxins from coal residue lakes, microplastics, and others. I also discuss the latest FDA approved drug for Alzheimer's, and why is to be avoided

  Since his discovery in the 1990s sirolimus, also known as Rapamune, has been intriguing scientists with its antiaging and life extension potential. The cumulative research in labs have pointed towards strong biological evidence of cellular antiaging. Studies testing various types of mammals have all had consistent results of life extension up to 30% while preserving youthful vitality. Evidence in animal studies includes dogs who are having the same beneficial outcomes. The evidence has become so compelling that hundreds of thousands of people have started to make it part of their antiaging regimen. The clinical results have been impressive.   Dosed once a week, relatively inexpensive, extraordinarily low side effect profile, and an accumulating catalog of positive outcomes all are starting to build momentum for this agent. This podcast will share with you the science, philosophy and some of the evidence behind its use.   The episode kicks off with headlines from medical news including a cancer treatment that actually increases cancer risk, and when is prostate cancer not really cancer? And other topics.

We all have stem cells. They are part of the body's natural regenerative process. As we age our population of stem cells diminishes. Given their central nature to our vitality, should we endeavor to boost these levels through infusions? What role do stem cells play when it comes to joint regeneration? Can it help to reverse chronic disease states like heart failure, cognitive impairment, and others? These questions are explored as well as a discussion of the difference between stem cells acquired overseas, and those domestically available.   The podcast opens with headlines from medical news including new studies looking at testosterone, prostate cancer and prostate enlargement. Does replacing testosterone increase the risk?   New information regarding the risk of screening for lung cancer. Is screening more dangerous than helpful?

Dementia might be the most feared consequence of aging. However there is nothing inevitable about brain decline. Our brain should remain functioning at a high level throughout the entire span of our lives. Any degree of lost function should be responded to vigorously. But that's the dilemma, despite billions of dollars of research big Pharma and conventional medicine have not discovered a remedy   This episode describes the role of methylene blue, a generic drug that can be repurposed to support brain health. Compelling evidence supports its potential value. In addition to helping people with cognitive impairment, it has enormous potential for primary antiaging and brain preservation in people who currently feel great.   The episode opens with headlines from medical news highlighting interesting articles and developments relevant to antiaging. 

The weight loss drug revolution is upon us! Brought you my big Pharma, the new class of drugs are being heavily promoted as the solution to the problem of national obesity. Drugs are an important and welcomed component of the comprehensive approach for managing weight in America. However at $1500 a month, Ozempic and other drugs like it (weegovy, semaglutide, tirzepatide, GLP-1) should not necessarily be your first choice. Older drugs that have been around for decades are cheap and effective. We discuss the concept of "sequential polypharmacy." This is the technique of using different drugs as your body becomes resistant to them in order to continue weight loss success. We also discuss some of the common side effects and ways to avoid them when using this class of drugs The podcast opens with a highlight on salmon. Which is better, wild or farmed? We also report some disturbing news about water. Is any of the rainwater in the world safe to drink? Yes, it's a complex and contaminated world. But with the right knowledge you can navigate through the raindrops and keep yourself on a path toward 120 years!

When it comes to testosterone therapy for men there is more myth than fact being spread about. We explore some of the commonly held concerns and expose them to the light of new research to put them in their proper perspective. Prostate cancer, heart disease, and concerns about infertility are all addressed. We also discuss the increasing rate of young me with low T syndrome.   This episode opens with highlights from the world of medicine including a discussion on new drugs for hot flashes and postpartum depression as well as research regarding prostate cancer.

Intermittent fasting is en vogue, but what is it all about? What's the science behind it? Will it really help you live longer? Find all the answers in this episode including the Intellectual Medicine advice regarding the best ways to achieve reduced body weight.   We also touch upon headlines in medicine including; x-ray therapy after mastectomy increases cancer risk, warning on titanium hip implants, genetic testing to determine types of foods to eat.

Dementia is the greatest fear of aging. Ending our days babbling, incoherent, perhaps in a nursing home is a nightmare too terrifying to contemplate. I believe the conventional thinking is wrong when it comes to brain function. There is no such thing as "senior moments." They represent the leading edge of brain decline and action should be taken! There is no need to accept any degree of compromise in your brain's function simply because of your age. You can tilt the field to your advantage but it's best to act early. Having a brain-health plan in place when you are vital, and taking the right steps at the earliest signs of decline will give you a better outlook. Don't accept brain decline as "normal for your age." You should have a crisp high functioning brain every day of your life until your last breath.

There is a difference between having your best thyroid levels, and one that is just marginal. In medicine we too often lump things into broad categories of being either "normal," or "abnormal." When it comes to your hormones there is a large gradient in between. Medicine has been lulled into accepting crude interpretations of lab testing as the primary mechanism for evaluating thyroid function.   We should always start by addressing symptoms. Low thyroid can cause fatigue, weight gain, dry skin, irregular menses, depression, brain fog, irregular heartbeats. The list goes on. Treating thyroid conditions strictly by looking at lab studies will often miss the target. This podcast explains how the thyroid works, and will give you information that you need to have a thoughtful conversation with your doctor.

Buoyed by its status as a performance-enhancing substance, growth hormone has a reputation for being youth enhancing, perhaps even life extending. What is a truth behind this alluring reputation? Should you use growth hormone as part of your antiaging regimen? Is it going to increase your risk of cancer? All these questions are answered in this fast-paced podcast. You will learn about the Somatopause, the age associated depletion of growth hormone. You'll understand when, and whether to consider growth hormone as part of your antiaging lifestyle

Immunizations have taken on an almost a sacred quality in conventional medicine. Doctors believe in them with the fervor usually allocated to religious pursuits. Yet what's the evidence? Is it possible that we are overvaluing the merit of immunizations and ignoring the potential adverse consequences? With so many different shots available how do you know which ones are worth it? I share with you my thoughts about immunizations on a broad level, including the potential hidden risks that can occur by stimulating the immune system. I also break down the recommended adult immunizations and share with you my opinion regarding whether or not you should consider them. Rather than just telling your doctor that you don't want any immunizations, be prepared for a thoughtful basis upon which to make your decisions. This podcast will give you a background and the information you need to decide what's going to fit your philosophy and your life.

Your cells need oxygen and food to survive. Without them, they will die. Your arteries deliver oxygen and food at a cellular level. To prevent the effects of aging, cells must be kept vital. The process begins by maintaining young, elastic, pliable arteries. The dominant belief system in conventional medicine is that arterial aging is inevitable and unalterable. However there is nothing in biology that makes this inevitable. In this episode we explore the theory that hardening of the arteries can be reversed, and that arteries can be maintained in a youthful state throughout the entire lifespan. We also present the research produced at Intellectual Medicine lending support to this theory, and we discussed a practical approach to arterial antiaging. As go the arteries, so go the cells. As go the cells, so goes the person. People should not die from arterial decay, heart attacks and strokes. To change the course of aging, we have to change the way we think and we must acquire new knowledge. This podcast provides you with some of that essential information.
