This podcast was recorded before COVID-19 became a pandemic and earlier in my wife, Parris’ pregnancy. I sit down with Brown University Economics Professor, Emily Oster. She is the author of two wonderful books my wife and I are huge fans of,  “Expecting Better” and “Crib Sheet”.  These books take an economic-based, scientifically studied, data-driven approach to pregnancy and parenting during early childhood. They take a look at things you can do to optimize pregnancy and have a happy baby. I realized speaking to Emily how important it is to really look at the data when making important decisions that are often clouded by myth and misinformation. In this podcast, we surprise my wife Parris who joins in with a few questions of her own. You don’t have to be an expectant parent or the parent of a new baby to appreciate the advice that Emily offers in this episode.  My hope is that by the end of the podcast anyone who listens will start thinking about how they can apply her lessons in their own life, whether it’s a pregnancy, parenting or any other risk-reward decision people make in everyday life. https://www.facebook.com/Stage29Podcasts https://twitter.com/stage29podcasts https://www.instagram.com/stage29podcasts     https://www.instagram.com/travisstorkmd/ https://www.facebook.com/travisstorkmd https://www.instagram.com/thedoctorstv/ https://www.facebook.com/TheDoctors/ https://emilyoster.net/ https://www.facebook.com/profemilyoster/ https://twitter.com/profemilyoster/ https://www.instagram.com/profemilyoster/ Learn more about your ad choices.

Today, we dive into the controversial topic of Biohacking or anti-aging with the founder and creator of the widely popular, "Bulletproof Coffee" and noted Biohacker, Dave Asprey. He's a best-selling author of "The Bulletproof Diet" and has spent more than one million dollars to hack his own biology. After losing 100 pounds without counting calories or excessive exercise, he used unique techniques to lower his biological age while sleeping less. Now don't get me wrong, while we don't see eye to eye on a lot of things, we do have a lot of commonalities and I think it's important to explore out-of-box options to enhance longevity and the quality of life.  In this episode, Dave reveals his secrets to extending life and how to improve the body and mind through biohacking. It's all about using the concept of low risk and high rewards. Can a small dose of nicotine really be good for you and should you really be giving coffee to your kids? Plus, what's going on with your gut and what is your stool really telling you? Are your antibiotic prescriptions hurting your body and how can the power of being cold make your face look younger? The CEO Dad also shares key activities you can do that create excitement and explains why most diets don't work. He answers all those questions including why 2 dishwashers are essential for any happy marriage! Bottom Line: Do something everyday that makes you a better person. https://www.facebook.com/Stage29Podcasts https://twitter.com/stage29podca https://www.instagram.com/stage29podcasts   https://www.instagram.com/travisstorkmd/?hl=en https://www.facebook.com/travisstorkm   https://www.instagram.com/thedoctorstv/?hl=en https://www.facebook.com/TheDoctors/ https://www.instagram.com/dave.asprey/?hl=en https://www.facebook.com/bulletproofexecutive/ https://twitter.com/bulletproofexec?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor Learn more about your ad choices.

In this eye opening episode, I go one-on-one with 'Bachelor' alum Colton Underwood to talk about the big misconceptions still surrounding coronavirus and how he fought head on to save his own life. The former football player shares real-life details about his horrible experience with the virus and the pivotal moment he was scared for his life. While Covid-19 patients experience different types of symptoms, Colton describes his severe chills, night sweats and the panic-driven night he woke up gasping for air. The 28-year-old shares his emotional journey through the different stages of his sickness and how his girlfriend, Cassie, and her family helped play a role in his recovery process. Before Colton’s mind-boggling bout with the novel virus, he recalls growing up in the midwest playing in corn fields, going to church and how he battled social anxiety after becoming a leading man on "The Bachelor". Colton is forthcoming about being confused about his own sexual identity in the past and admits he and Cassie are still working on building their relationship. With a new podcast and an upcoming book on the horizon, he says that writing has helped him to take control of his life and see the silver lining in tough situations. It's an open and honest conversation and I'm proud to see him so brave and make an effort to educate people during these difficult times.  https://www.facebook.com/Stage29Podcasts https://twitter.com/stage29podca https://www.instagram.com/stage29podcasts   https://www.instagram.com/travisstorkmd/?hl=en https://www.facebook.com/travisstorkm   https://www.instagram.com/thedoctorstv/?hl=en https://www.facebook.com/TheDoctors/   https://www.instagram.com/coltonunderwood/?hl=en https://twitter.com/colton?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor Learn more about your ad choices.

I'm thrilled to have Hollywood Medium star Tyler Henry as a special guest today. Last year, I met with him at my office in LA for a reading where he predicted my wife Parris would be having a baby. Parris and I were newly married at the time and not trying to conceive, but just days later we were surprised to find out she was pregnant! Parris joins me as co-host to share the news with Tyler and find out how his psychic abilities really work. It's an insightful and honest interview where he admits he's scared to have his own child because he worries his gift will be inherited. He explains his reading process, how he deals with stage fright anxiety and his biggest regret in life. Tyler is trustworthy and wise beyond his years, but admits he almost signed his life away early in his career. He gives advice on how to stay true to yourself and how knowing your purpose is essential to happiness. Parris talks to him about his love life and how his gift plays into the relationship with his longtime partner. Tyler admits the public's response to his readings has not always been positive causing him backlash and death threats. He reveals he was bullied as a child and even used his psychic abilities to deter his bullies. Tyler admits that crying is a release for him and reminds us all that life is short. Hope you enjoy this interview as much as we did. https://www.facebook.com/Stage29Podcasts https://twitter.com/stage29podca https://www.instagram.com/stage29podcasts    https://www.instagram.com/travisstorkmd/?hl=en https://www.facebook.com/travisstorkm   https://www.instagram.com/thedoctorstv/?hl=en https://www.facebook.com/TheDoctors/   https://www.instagram.com/tylerhenrymedium/?hl=en https://twitter.com/tyhenrymedium?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor https://www.facebook.com/mediumtylerhenry/ Learn more about your ad choices.

So, what exactly are they doing right, and is it too late for us to follow their example? In this episode, Dr. Travis reminds us all to have hope and gets candid with top infectious disease specialist and Chief Medical Officer at LA County University of Southern California Medical Center, Dr. Brad Spellberg, to help us understand what solutions we can do right now to fight the virus and help save lives. Is a lockdown necessary to limiting exposure and what is the real definition of social distancing? Is it okay to simply go outside for physical activities? Plus, how much does weather play a factor to naturally decease infection and how close are we to finding a mitigating treatment? Both doctors put all of this in perspective in a practical, yet optimistic approach. Bottom line: Our health can effect everything in society from pop culture to our financial well-being, but it's especially important for all of us to stay optimistic.  https://www.facebook.com/Stage29Podcasts/ https://twitter.com/stage29podcast https://www.instagram.com/stage29podcasts https://www.instagram.com/thedoctorstv/?hl=en https://www.facebook.com/TheDoctors/ https://www.instagram.com/travisstorkmd/?hl=en https://www.facebook.com/travisstorkm Learn more about your ad choices.

There are lots of mixed messages surrounding COVID-19 about what to do and what not to do to stay safe. On the latest episode of “The Travis Stork Show”, he and his old college roommate, Associate Professor of Emergency Medicine at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital, Dr. Geoffrey Hayden, reunite to discuss what they currently know about the highly contagious virus and the simple sacrifices that everyone should be making right now! How fast is the virus really spreading and is this pandemic a longer issue than you really think? Is severe containment really the answer? Plus, Travis' wife Parris is currently pregnant so how does this affect the baby and could it mean a birth at home? And while more testing becomes available, how much are you really putting others at risk? Just because you can't see it, does it mean you're not a threat?    https://www.facebook.com/Stage29Podcasts/ https://twitter.com/stage29podcasts https://www.instagram.com/stage29podcasts/ https://www.instagram.com/thedoctorstv/?hl=en https://www.facebook.com/TheDoctors/ https://www.instagram.com/travisstorkmd/?hl=en https://www.facebook.com/travisstorkmd/ Learn more about your ad choices.
