In this Editor's Special Episode of The HemOncPulse, a conversation with Nicholas Richardson, DO, MPH, vice president of clinical development at Precision for Medicine, focuses on the evolving regulatory role of measurable residual disease in multiple myeloma clinical trials. The discussion is designed to contextualize recent FDA draft guidance for a broad clinical and research audience.

This episode covers: • Longevity Influence In The Epstein Files A new DOJ document release tied to the Epstein investigation pulled physician and longevity influencer Peter Attia into the spotlight, after reports showed he appeared in the files more than 1,800 times and CBS News pulled a planned rebroadcast of its 60 Minutes profile. Dave breaks down why this story matters beyond headlines: longevity relies heavily on trust, authority, and influence, and when those foundations are shaken it exposes how fragile centralized expertise can be. He explains how biohackers can protect themselves by diversifying information sources, understanding mechanisms instead of personalities, and building health strategies that don't collapse when one voice disappears. • Source: https://variety.com/2026/tv/news/cbs-news-pulls-peter-attia-60-minutes-segment-epstein-1236650930/ • Age-Reversal Gene Therapy Enters Human Trials Life Biosciences received FDA authorization to begin the first U.S. human trial of a partial epigenetic reprogramming gene therapy in the eye, using three Yamanaka factors to restore function in damaged retinal cells. Dave explains why eyes are the ideal first testing ground, what partial reprogramming actually means, and why this marks a shift from longevity theory into real clinical testing. He also clarifies what success would and would not mean for whole-body rejuvenation, and how to separate legitimate gene-therapy advances from consumer products that only claim to affect biological age. • Source: https://fortune.com/2026/01/30/billionaires-longevity-aging-fda-human-clinical-trial-life-biosciences/ • Continuous Ketone Monitoring Moves Toward Reality Wearable continuous ketone monitoring is advancing beyond finger-stick meters, with companies adapting the same model that made continuous glucose monitors mainstream. Dave explains why this is a major upgrade for metabolic flexibility, keto diets, fasting, and diabetes risk management. He breaks down how real-time ketone data can reveal patterns missed by spot checks, and why biohackers should think ahead about data ownership, integration, and how ketone signals interact with glucose, sleep, stress, and training. • Source: https://finance.yahoo.com/news/global-market-blood-ketone-meters-140900796.html • Injectable, Wireless Brain Implants Without Surgery Researchers are developing nano-scale, wireless brain implants capable of crossing the blood-brain barrier without open surgery, opening the door to a new class of neural interfaces. Dave connects this research to other circuit-level interventions like sound and light stimulation, explaining the broader shift from targeting molecules to tuning brain networks. He also addresses the ethical risks, including consent, privacy, and neuro-surveillance, and why biohackers should track this space early rather than after it becomes normalized. • Source: https://longevity.technology/unlocked/longevity-news-roundup-week-5-2026/ • Generic GLP-1 Drugs Could Reshape Global Metabolic Health India's Sun Pharma is preparing to launch a generic semaglutide-style injectable as patent protections expire, signaling a major price drop and access expansion for GLP-1 drugs. Dave explains why this could transform obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease management worldwide, while also highlighting the risks of muscle loss and metabolic weakness if these drugs are used without proper training and nutrition. He shares how biohackers should think about stacking GLP-1s intelligently, with resistance training, protein intake, and long-term maintenance strategies. • Source: https://longevity.technology/unlocked/longevity-news-roundup-week-5-2026/ All source links are provided for direct access to the original reporting and research. This episode is designed for biohackers, longevity seekers, and high-performance listeners who want clear thinking in a noisy health landscape. Host Dave Asprey connects ethics, emerging science, metabolic data, neurotechnology, and drug access into practical lessons for building a resilient, adaptable health strategy that works even as trends and narratives change.

"You also want to deal with patient preferences. We do want to get their disease under control. We want to make them live a long, good quality of life. But do they want to come to the clinic once a week? Is it a far distance? Is geography a problem? Do they prefer not taking oral chemotherapies at home? We have to think about what the patient's preferences are to some degree and kind of incorporate that in our decision-making plan for treatments for relapsed and refractory myeloma," Ann McNeill, RN, MSN, APN, nurse practitioner at the John Theurer Cancer Center at Jersey Shore University Medical Center in Neptune, NJ, told Lenise Taylor, MN, RN, AOCNS®, TCTCN™, oncology clinical specialist at ONS, during a conversation about multiple myeloma treatment considerations.

Highlights From This Episode "Typically for our first-line therapies, we use certain classes of drugs and some of them are proteasome inhibitors like bortezomib and carfilzomib. We also have IMiDs or immunomodulatory agents like thalidomide, lenalidomide, and pomalidomide. We have monoclonal antibodies, anti-CD38 monoclonal antibodies. Of course, we can never talk about treatment for myeloma without mentioning dexamethasone. It is an integral part of our treatment regimen. Most of our frontline therapies now are not just a single agent. They're not even doublets anymore. Typically, they're triplet therapies. And now in 2026, it's leaning more toward quadruplet therapies. By that, I mean you're taking a proteasome inhibitor, an immunomodulatory drug, dexamethasone, and an anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody all together to present patients with a good chance their induction therapy will lead to a good chance of them responding to treatment." TS 4:25 "[With] myeloma labs, there should be some indication after each cycle of therapy that the treatment is working. So, you don't have to do a whole myeloma panel, but maybe getting a monoclonal protein spike, maybe getting a free light chain assay, or maybe an immunoglobulin G or immunoglobulin A level, just to see if the treatment is working. So, those labs are crucial to determine whether the therapies are working. And again, the lab improvements usually correlate with the clinical presentation of the patient." TS 11:01 "There are active clinical trials ongoing with drugs like cell mods. Cell mods are the new oral anticancer agents for myeloma that have shown great promise with efficacy and safety profiles. And then there are other combinations that are showing a lot of promise. So, drugs that are already approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). And I'm talking about pairing anti-CD38 monoclonal antibodies with bispecific T-cell engagers. If you do that, there has been some evidence that these combinations are very efficacious and responses are durable. And there are ongoing clinical trials and studies being done right now to see if these can be FDA-approved to pinpoint where they are as far as in comparison to other treatments." TS 20:10 "I always tell patients to try to participate in safe, and I want to stress safe, physical activity. So, I tell patients, the more you sit on the couch or you sit in the chair for most of the day, that unfortunately will make your pain worse. So, trying to get up and about and doing some physical activity, such as getting a physical therapy evaluation and a treatment program, no matter how passive or mild or gentle it is, can really help these patients with bone pain." TS 26:10 "I think it's important to realize that myeloma has had amazing advances in science, research and treatments. I think that all of these things coming together, all the science and clinical trials and everything like that, has led to a significant increase in overall survival of our patients, which ultimately is a great thing. We want patients to live longer and they're living longer with a very good quality of life. So, I think it's important to realize that myeloma is very well studied, very well researched, and it's still ongoing with many, many clinical trials." TS 36:04

Two very different challenges, and one shared public health reality: systems have to work when it matters most.  In this episode, we speak with Dr. Erica Pan, director and state public health officer for the California Department of Public Health, and ASTHO member, about a rare and unprecedented infant botulism outbreak linked to contaminated infant formula. She explains how California's unique Baby BIG® treatment program, home to the only infant botulism treatment in the world, helped detect a national pattern, how states coordinated with CDC and FDA, and the logistical strain of managing treatment supply, clinician hotlines, and public communication during a fast-moving emergency.  Then, Alex Wheatley, senior director of island support at ASTHO, joins us to discuss a different kind of pressure point: helping U.S. Island jurisdictions navigate complex federal grant systems. She outlines a new resource designed to bridge gaps between federal funders and local health agencies, reduce misunderstandings, and build stronger, trust-based partnerships, especially when timelines, administrative processes, and time zones don't align.State Health Agencies' Role in Implementing Pharmacist-Prescribed Contraception | ASTHOWebinar Registration - Zoom

On this episode of Vitality Radio, we continue Formula Face Off with a deep dive into two popular microbiome gummies from Lemme—one designed for bloating and digestion, and the other positioned for daily immune support. Rather than judging hype or branding, we go straight to what matters most: the Supplement Facts panel. You'll learn why probiotic strains, CFU transparency, dosing formats, and ingredient compatibility matter far more than marketing claims. We break down probiotics vs. postbiotics, explain when spore-based strains make sense in gummies, and expose common examples of “window dressing” ingredients that look impressive but fall short of clinical relevance. We also discuss essential cofactors like vitamin K2, magnesium, and copper—and why their absence can undermine otherwise solid formulas. The goal here, as always, is to help you become a smarter, more confident supplement consumer.Products:Back on TractPrecision Probiotic Vital SporesNordic Naturals Probiotic GummiesVitality Radio POW!

Have you noticed that our food pyramid looks a little different? With the FDA's 2026 release of the updated food pyramid and dietary guidelines, Jenn is here to unpack why these changes matter and what they might mean for your health and your plate. In this episode, host and health coach, Jenn Trepeck breaks down the controversial new dietary guidelines released by the FDA in 2026. From the seemingly dramatic increase in protein and dairy intake recommendations to her concerns about food quantity versus quality, what do these changes mean for us on an individual level or for our families? Jenn also discusses the massive implications for millions of Americans that rely on federal nutrition programs such as school lunch programs, SNAP benefits, the WIC program, and military meals. With the slogan “Make America Healthy Again” Jenn breaks down the resources to discern whether these new guidelines are based on evidence-based research or meat and dairy industry influence. Remember, nutrition is nuanced and individualized, there is not a “one-size-fits-all” dietary plan. What You Will Learn in This Episode:✅ Why the new dietary guidelines impact millions of Americans through federal nutrition programs, including the school lunch program, SNAP benefits, and the WIC program, and how these changes will affect meal planning for the most vulnerable populations✅ The controversial shift in protein recommendations from 0.8 to 1.2 to 1.6 grams per kilogram, and why this increase raises questions about evidence-based nutrition versus food industry influence✅ The critical difference between public health recommendations and individual health needs, and why understanding this distinction is essential for making informed nutrition education decisions✅ How the removal of the health equity lens and emphasis on red meat consumption without addressing food quality concerns demonstrates the challenge of creating truly comprehensive nutrition standardsThe Salad With a Side of Fries podcast, hosted by Jenn Trepeck, explores real-life wellness and weight-loss topics, debunking myths, misinformation, and flawed science surrounding nutrition and the food industry. Let's dive into wellness and weight loss for real life, including drinking, eating out, and skipping the grocery store.TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 Federal nutrition programs, why dietary guidelines feed students with varied nutrients from different food groups01:48 New nutrition guidelines and the confusion that comes with the updated food pyramid 07:41 Why these dietary guidelines matter for military food assistance, school meals, and other federal nutrition programs 11:19 Statistics reveal 6.7 million on WIC, 41.7 million on SNAP benefits, and 30 million students receive school lunch nationwide15:39 Breaking down the upside-down food pyramid showing meat and dairy at the top, vegetables and fruit in the middle, and whole grains at the bottom21:26 Discussion on food industry funding and which beef, pork, and dairy associations paid dietary guideline committee members24:15 Protein recommendations increase without any mention of food quality or emphasizing plant protein sources like legumes and beans30:27 The recommendation of three servings of dairy per day ignores lactose intolerance and possible health impacts of dairy32:53 Only three servings of vegetables recommended per day equals the same amount as dairy servings36:18 Saturated fat capped at 10% creates a puzzle when combined with increased red meat consumption without quality considerations41:15: Whole grains recommendation of two to four servings a day44:01 Bottom line recommendations from the new guidelines assessmentKEY TAKEAWAYS:

This week, we look at new evidence on oral cholesterol-lowering therapy, the evolving role of beta-blockers after myocardial infarction, and advances in breast and prostate cancer treatment. We review the inherited risk of coronary disease. We also work through a revealing diagnostic case in a young woman and reflect on science under pressure, corporatized insurance, the reach of FDA law, and what it means to live with life-sustaining technology.

In Part 2 of the conversation with Dr. Peter Staats, the discussion expands beyond clinical medicine into leadership, advocacy, entrepreneurship, and the business realities shaping modern healthcare. Dr. Staats reflects on his extensive involvement in professional medical societies, explaining how each organization served a different mission—from physician advocacy and scientific advancement to global education and charitable efforts aimed at improving standards of pain care worldwide. The episode also explores Dr. Staats' entrepreneurial journey, including the founding of electroCore and his work in non-invasive vagus nerve stimulation. He candidly describes the challenges of bringing innovation to market, particularly the long and often frustrating path from FDA approval to insurance reimbursement. His experience highlights the significant risks, persistence, and strategic partnerships required to translate medical innovation into widely accessible patient care. Finally, Dr. Staats shares lessons from building and scaling large physician practices, navigating mergers and private equity, and balancing clinical integrity with executive decision-making. He concludes with guidance for younger physicians, emphasizing that long-term success comes from maintaining patient-centered values, protecting one's integrity, and approaching business opportunities thoughtfully rather than chasing short-term financial gain.

Dear Dr. Whiffenschtuppel, I write to you this day to express my deepest gratitude for changing my life. Long ago, I remember staring at my banana on the kitchen counter, bruised and drooping with despair; a perfect reflection of my life before Bocox. Every day felt soft, sad, and permanently past its prime. I meandered through my days burdened with shame and grief, wondering how something once so full of potential and promise could end up so utterly limp and forgotten; pushed to the back of the proverbial kitchen drawer of existence, right behind an old D battery. Then Bocox entered my life and somehow, miraculously, my banana stood tall again; firm with hope and glowing with newfound confidence. Each and every morning I gaze down at it, radiant and renewed as tears well in my eyes. Because Bocox didn't just save my banana, it gave it an unflappable, tumescent second chance. XOXO, Katya Z.

What if growth isn't about pushing harder, but about letting go more skillfully? In this episode of Why Isn't Everyone Doing This?, Emily sits down with coach and author Suzy Ashworth for a grounded, activating conversation about identity shifts, pivots, and what it actually takes to receive more in life and business. Together, they explore why true transformation doesn't come from strategy alone, but from who you're willing to become in your body, your nervous system, and your sense of self. Suzy shares how the most powerful pivots in her life and work didn't come from forcing outcomes, but from releasing attachment to timelines, outcomes, and the need to prove. They unpack the difference between desire and striving, why pleasure and joy create magnetism, and how detachment becomes a superpower when it comes to manifestation and receiving. This conversation reframes success as an internal orientation first, and an external result second. This episode is for anyone standing at the edge of a change, sensing that the next level requires less effort and more trust, and learning how to open themselves to receive what's already available. KEY MOMENTS: 00:00:00 — Identity as the starting point of transformation 00:03:15 — Setting the energetic field: invocation, coherence, intention 00:07:00 — Why the pivot matters more than the plan 00:11:20 — Joy and pleasure as stabilizers for growth 00:18:10 — Choosing who you become when life forces a reckoning 00:24:30 — Resilience, failure, and expanding emotional capacity 00:27:00 — Detachment as a manifestation superpower 00:31:00 — Faith plus action: alignment without exhaustion 00:34:00 — Identity before income and external results 00:46:00 — Integration: when the work becomes how you live About Suzy Ashworth Suzy Ashworth is a coach, speaker, and bestselling author of Infinite Receiving. She is the founder of the Quantum Leap Your Life & Business certification and works with leaders and entrepreneurs who are ready to shift identity, expand capacity, and build success that is both profitable and sustainable. Suzy's work focuses on embodiment, nervous system alignment, and redefining success as something that is lived, not chased. Learn more about Suzy and explore her work:https://suzyashworth.com Follow Suzy on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/suzy_ashworth For Those Ready to Hold More The themes in this episode, alignment, capacity, faith plus action, and leadership without burnout, are exactly what Level 3 is designed to support. It's where the work stops being something you do in moments of stress and becomes the way you lead, decide, and steward what you're responsible for. By working at the level of the nervous system, state of consciousness, and capacity to hold more, Level 3 supports the kind of embodied leadership Suzy speaks to in this episode, abundance that lasts without exhaustion.

Two years ago the FDA pulled down just about every insulin calculator app. A lot of them just disappeared, rather than seek official approval, but one of them – created by a teenager with type 1 – is back. I'm talking with Drew and Mike Mendelow about the relaunch of T1D1, a free and ad-free insulin-dose calculator app. They share what it was like to navigate the FDA process, how they go international help, and what's next.

Stories from a Giant and Gadfly Discover the Protest Music of RainFall!-- like "The Antidepressant Blues!" Today, we are delighted to spend some time with a dear friend and highly esteemed colleague, Dr. David Antonuccio. David is a retired Clinical Psychologist and Professor Emeritus in the Dept. of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at the University of Nevada, Reno, School of Medicine. In addition to his academic work, David had his own clinical practice for 40 years. He has published over 100 academic articles and multiple books, primarily on the treatment of depression, anxiety, or smoking cessation. Since his retirement from practice in 2020, he has been making music as part of a duo called RainFall, with his musical partner Michael Pierce. Their music can be found on Spotify, Apple music, and Soundcloud, among other streaming services. I first became familiar with David when a colleague recommended his article entitled: "Psychotherapy versus medication for depression: challenging the conventional wisdom with data," which was published in Professional Psychology: Research and Practice way back in 1995. The article blew my socks off. In the first place, he had come to the many of the same conclusions I had come to, that antidepressants had few "real" effects above and beyond their placebo effects. However, he also had incredible insights into some of the problems and loopholes with drug company research studies on antidepressants, so I tried to get as many colleagues and students as possible to read that article. Here is the article link Although I had never met David, he became my hero. One day, while I was giving one of my two-day CBT workshops in Nevada, I was singing his praises and urging participants to read that classic article, but, unexpectedly, some people started chuckling. At a break, I asked someone why people had been laughing. They said, "Didn't you know that David Antonuccio is here attending this workshop? He was out visiting the bathroom when you were singing his praises, so he didn't hear you!" And that's how we met! I couldn't believe my good fortune in meeting this brilliant and humble man in person. And to my good fortune, we became good friends right off the bat and eventually did a lot of fun professional work together, like our exciting conference challenging the chemical imbalance theory of depression which we called the Rumble in Reno. I was also proud to be included as a co-author in a popular article with David and William Danton reviewing the brilliant work of Irving Kirsch. Kirsch had re-analyzed all the data on antidepressants in the FDA archives and concluded that the chemicals called "antidepressants" had few, if any, clinically significant effects above and beyond their placebo effects. In that paper, we also emphasized the ongoing power struggle between the needs of science and the needs of marketing. Science is devoted to discovering and reporting the truth, based on research, regardless of where it leads, while marketing, sadly, is ultimately loyal to the bottom line, even if deception is required. Here is the link to our article: And here is the full reference: Antonuccio, D. O., Burns, D., & Danton, W. G. (2002). Antidepressants: A Triumph of Marketing over Science? Prevention and Treatment, 5, Article 25. Web link: http://journals.apa.org/prevention/volume5/toc-jul15-02.htm I was sad when David retired from his clinical, teaching, and research career a number of years ago in order to spend more time on creating and recording music because, a passion he'd put on the shelf during the most active years of his career. I felt we'd lost an important and courageous leader in the behavioral sciences, and felt an emptiness, like an important pioneer was suddenly missing. The following link provides a highly readable brief overview of David's career focus and interests. I was thrilled to learn just recently that David has partly resumed his role as gadfly of the behavioral sciences, rejoining the fight for science, ethics and for truth, regardless of where that leads or whose feathers are ruffled. And now, we sit down together to reminisce about his personal life and experiences with many of the greats in our field, like Dr. David Healey, Irving Kirsch, and others who have also stood up for the truth, based on their research, in spite of intense opposition from the establishment. And, today David also brings us his music, with his colleague, Michael Pierce, RainFall. Some of his music has psychiatric / psychological themes, like his "Antidepressant Blues," Some of David's music has humanistic and political themes. He said: Here's a song we just released yesterday that i will assume would not be relevant to the podcast. It is called Final Embrace and was inspired by a heart-breaking international wire photo of a Salvadoran immigrant father hugging his daughter, both deceased, in the rio grande in 2019. Here's the link to the original news story. David's two-man group, RainFall, wrote and recorded the original acoustic version of this song in 2020. He explains: We decided to record a more dynamic updated version of the song with some electric guitar chords, electric bass, and drums. We are calling it "Final Embrace Electric". The story is still heart-breaking, and it still makes me cry to sing it. Here is a link to the new version of the song, And here are the heart-breaking lyrics: Final Embrace Electric (For Oscar and Valeria) By RainFall (David Antonuccio and Michael Pierce) I'm sorry I couldn't help you I'm sorry you lost your life You took a deadly risk I'm sorry for your wife What were you supposed to do? Stay home and watch your family die? Or take a chance at freedom Reach for the sky Some say you should have known better They say that you are a criminal But they don't know your fear, your pain, your hunger For them it's the principle Some say we were here first It's not our problem Despite your dire thirst We're full, no more asylum Let's ask them what they would do If their family were faced with danger If they're honest, they'd take the chance Hope for kindness from a stranger You tried to get in the front door But it was slammed closed So you swam the deadly current Despite the perilous flow You never lost your grip Though the river was not crossable Only another parent can know How that is even possible Everyone can tell you loved your daughter Even in that place You never let her go It was your final embrace I'm sorry I couldn't help you I'm sorry you lost your life You took a deadly risk I'm so sorry for your wife Everyone can tell you loved your daughter Even in that place You never let her go It was your final embrace Your final embrace It was your final embrace It was your final embrace   Thank you for joining us today. Stayed tuned for Part 2 of the David Antonuccio interview next week! David, Rhonda, and David

This past December, the FDA issued a Complete Response Letter to drug manufacturer Sanofi in response to Sanofi's application seeking approval for Tolebrutinib, the first in a new category of investigational disease-modifying therapies to undergo FDA review.    A Complete Response Letter is an official letter from the FDA to a drug manufacturer stating that the agency can't approve a new medicine in its current form. It's not an outright "no" that kills a project; it's more like a "not yet." However, this Complete Response Letter raised some issues which, at first glance, don't appear to be easily fixable. Sanofi has pointed out that the issues raised in the Complete Response Letter were markedly different from the guidance they received from the FDA over the course of this approval process. Sanofi has also indicated that it would work with the FDA to find a path forward for Tolebrutinib. Dr. William Conte, an MS Specialist and a principal investigator in the Phase 3 clinical trial for Tolebrutinib, has published an article responding to the FDA's Complete Response Letter. This week, Dr. Conte joins me to discuss the FDA's action and his response to that action.  We have a lot to talk about! Are you ready for RealTalk MS??!

In this Uromigos podcast episode, Brian and Tom engage with Elaine Chang from the FDA to discuss an analysis of depth of response as an indicator of survival in kidney cancer trials. They explore the FDA's data analysis process, the significance of tumor shrinkage, and the implications of their findings on treatment outcomes. The conversation delves into the limitations of current measurement methods and the potential for using depth of response as an early signal in drug development.

Send us a textIn this episode, Dr. Eeks talks with Joel Stanley, entrepreneur and biotech founder, about the long and often misunderstood road from plant based therapies to FDA approved medicines.Joel shares the personal story behind building Charlotte's Web, the company named after a young girl whose experience with severe epilepsy helped spark a global conversation about medical cannabis. He reflects on what it was like to grow a family run operation into a major force that reshaped public perception, while navigating science, regulation, and skepticism.The conversation then turns to Joel's current work at Ajna BioSciences, where he is pursuing FDA approval for botanical drugs, including a botanical-based drug being studied for autism, with trials to be conducted in 2 countries. Joel explains where this research currently sits in the regulatory process and why he has chosen the traditional drug approval route rather than supplements or wellness markets.We also dig into the key differences between botanical drug development and conventional pharmaceutical development, from standardization challenges to clinical trial design, and why plant based medicines are often held to a different and sometimes contradictory standard.Finally, Joel discusses his research into psychedelics, including psilocybin for depression, and why he believes these compounds represent more than a passing trend. This episode is a grounded look at science, policy, and the tension between nature and modern medicine.Work with me?

In the late 1990s, a strange carbon molecule quietly delivered the single longest lifespan extension ever recorded in mammals. The rats lived about 90% longer, and almost no one was paying attention. This episode breaks down what that molecule is, why it works, and how it may upgrade mitochondria, sleep, and human performance when used correctly. Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey sits down with Chris Burres, founder and chief scientist of MyVitalC and the original long-term manufacturer of carbon 60. Chris has produced this Nobel Prize–winning molecule since the early 1990s, supplying research institutions around the world years before it ever entered the biohacking space. He explains how carbon 60 behaves differently from traditional antioxidants, why stability and concentration used to be major problems, and how modern manufacturing finally made real-world use possible. Chris is also a published author, longevity summit host, patent holder, and longtime science communicator who brings rare clarity and humor to complex biology. Dave and Chris explore how carbon 60 interacts with mitochondria, oxidative stress, metabolism, and electrical signaling in the body, and where it fits alongside ketosis, nootropics, supplements, and functional medicine strategies. They also unpack why improving mitochondrial function often shows up first as better energy and sleep optimization, and how that foundation supports longevity, brain optimization, and Smarter Not Harder performance. Along the way, Dave shares his own early experience with C60, how he uses it today, and why it now shows up even in his Danger Coffee stack. You'll Learn: • Why carbon 60 produced the longest longevity result ever recorded in mammal studies • How mitochondrial efficiency shapes energy, sleep, and human performance • What makes C60 a selective antioxidant instead of a blunt one • Why purity, concentration, and stability determine whether a supplement works • How carbon 60 fits into biohacking stacks built around ketosis and metabolism • What users report first, from focus and resilience to deeper sleep • Why mitochondrial health underpins long-term anti-aging strategies • How to think about supplements through a Smarter Not Harder lens Dave Asprey is a four time New York Times bestselling author, founder of Bulletproof Coffee, and the father of biohacking.

In this episode of Talking Sleep, host Dr. Seema Khosla welcomes three members of the World Sleep Society's consumer health technology task force—Dr. Michael Chee,  Professor and Director of the Center for Sleep and Cognition at the National University of Singapore who chaired the guideline-writing task force; Dr. Mathias Baumert, an associate professor leading the biomedical engineering discipline of the school of Electrical and Mechanical engineering at Adelaide University in Australia, and Dr. Cathy Goldstein, professor of neurology at the University of Michigan.  to discuss their global recommendations for the use of consumer sleep technology and wearable health trackers. Consumer wearables have become ubiquitous in clinical practice, with patients routinely sharing device data. While some clinicians have historically dismissed this information, attitudes are shifting as technology improves and rigorous research examines sensors, algorithms, and data quality. Dr. Chee explains that the recommendations are designed for multiple audiences: end-users, clinicians, researchers, and manufacturers, with specific guidance for each group. The conversation addresses practical considerations: the assumption that users have good perfusion, how bed partners can influence movement detection, and the fundamental truth that the best device is one patients will actually wear properly. The panel discusses recent FDA regulatory changes and clarifies whether guidance applies only to non-FDA cleared wellness devices or has broader implications. The experts systematically review various metrics from wearables. They introduce TATS (total attempted time in sleep) and explain what clinicians should know about sleep onset and offset detection. The episode emphasizes the call for standardized Fundamental Sleep Measures and greater transparency about test populations used in device validation. Dr. Baumert discusses the need to co-create benchmarks for measurement accuracy across different contexts—from persons with normal sleep to shift workers to those with sleep disorders. Whether you're skeptical about consumer wearables or seeking guidance on interpreting patient-generated data, this episode provides evidence-based recommendations for moving forward responsibly. Join us for this important discussion about embracing consumer sleep technology while maintaining clinical rigor.

Is the era of cisplatin over, or are we simply becoming more precise about who benefits from it? As perioperative strategies in bladder cancer continue to evolve, emerging tools like circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) are playing a bigger role in how clinicians assess recurrence risk and tailor treatment. In this episode of BackTable Tumor Board, host Alan Tan, medical oncologist at Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center, is joined by bladder cancer experts Dr. Amanda Nizam and Dr. Brad McGregor to discuss recent advances in the diagnosis and treatment of urothelial carcinoma. --- SYNPOSIS The doctors examine the evolving management of muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC), including the role of neoadjuvant and adjuvant therapies, the integration of immunotherapy, and the recent approval of enfortumab vedotin plus pembrolizumab. The discussion explores the rapidly changing perioperative landscape, the prognostic utility of ctDNA, and how biomarkers such as HER2 and FGFR are influencing treatment selection across disease states. They also address bladder preservation strategies, management of treatment-related toxicities, and the importance of multidisciplinary coordination. The episode concludes with a forward-looking discussion on emerging therapies and the potential to improve cure rates in bladder cancer. --- TIMESTAMPS 00:00 - Introduction01:44 - Overview of Bladder Cancer Treatment04:54 - Patient Staging and Treatment Goals10:12 - Bladder Preservation vs. Radical Cystectomy16:39 - Emerging Trials and Future Directions22:40 - ctDNA and Precision Medicine33:50 - Metastatic Disease and Biomarker Strategies42:16 - Managing Neuropathy in Metastatic Treatment48:44 - HER2 and FGFR in Bladder Cancer54:15 - Future Directions in Bladder Cancer Treatment --- RESOURCES EV-302/303 Trialhttps://newsroom.astellas.com/2023-12-15-PADCEV-R-enfortumab-vedotin-ejfv-with-KEYTRUDA-R-pembrolizumab-Approved-by-FDA-as-the-First-and-Only-ADC-Plus-PD-1-to-Treat-Advanced-Bladder-Cancer NIAGARA Regimenhttps://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2408154 KEYNOTE-905 Studyhttps://www.annalsofoncology.org/article/S0923-7534(25)04894-X/fulltext

Cupid's Undie Run Atlanta is a premier "party with a purpose" benefiting the Children's Tumor Foundation (CTF). Participants run a one-mile(ish) course in their underwear to raise awareness and funding for Neurofibromatosis (NF)research. The "heart" of Cupid's Undie Run is solidarity. Those living with Neurofibromatosis (NF) cannot choose to remove their tumors; runners choose to strip down to their undies to bring visibility to this often "unseen" genetic disorder. Every dollar raised supports the Children's Tumor Foundation in funding clinical trials and developing treatments for the 1 in 2,500 people born with NF. The Atlanta (ATL) energy is widely considered the wildest in the country. This is due to a unique blend of Southern hospitality and a high-octane "party-with-a-purpose" culture. While other cities may jog, the Atlanta crowd transforms the one-mile run into a high-energy parade of creativity and community spirit. The 2026 fundraising goal for the Atlanta chapter is $60,000. * Direct Impact: Funds support CTF research that has already led to the first-ever FDA-approved drug for NF. * The Motto: "We run in the cold so they don't have to," symbolizing the physical discomfort runners brave to support those facing medical challenges. While the event is famous for red undies, creativity is encouraged. Popular outfits seen at the starting line include: * Custom tutus and capes. * Full-body dinosaur onesies and superhero themes. * DIY "Human Disco Balls" and elaborate team-coordinated costumes. The run is just the beginning. The legendary after-party features: * Open Bar: Available for "top undie-achievers" (those raising $250+). * Entertainment: Live DJs, dance-offs, and a judgment-free atmosphere. * Awards: Trophies for top individual fundraisers and teams. Lindsey's #1 Tip: Don't let the "undie" part intimidate you. The second you walk through the doors, you realize you aren't alone—you're part of a movement. "Your bravery for one afternoon helps a child be brave for a lifetime."

On today's episode, content creator and mama of three Ruby Smoot gets real about the parts of infertility and pregnancy after infertility we don't talk about enough — the mental health spiral, the obsessive thoughts, the fear, and the quiet, heavy darkness that can creep in while you're trying so hard to become a parent. In this deeply candid conversation, Ruby opens up about pregnancy after infertility while battling OCD and intrusive thoughts, navigating severe nausea called hyperemesis gravidarum (HG), and what it felt like to hold hope and despair at the same time, and how becoming pregnant didn't magically erase the mental health struggles she was carrying. Because as many of us know: having babies doesn't fix everything — you still have to heal. She also talks about getting pregnant again, and having HG a second time. Now a mom of three kiddos, Ruby reflects on what she wishes she'd known, how she got support, and why talking honestly about maternal mental health might be the most important thing we can do for each other.Follow her on IG: @rubydu91 And TikTok: ruby.duEPISODE SPONSORS: THE WORK OF ART BOOK SERIESAli's Children's Book Series about IVF, IUI and Family Building Through Assisted Reproductive Technology https://www.infertileafgroup.com/booksThe latest book in the Work of ART series, “You Are a Work of ART," is for every kiddo born through ART -- and the people who love them.Order "Work of ART," "Beautiful Bird" and "You Are a Work of ART," now at https://www.infertileafgroup.com/booksFERTILITY RALLYIG: @fertilityrallywww.fertilityrally.comNo one should go through infertility alone.

“Climate change is the biggest health threat of our century, so we need to train clinicians for a future where it will alter disease patterns, the demand on health systems, and how care is delivered,” says Dr. Sandro Demaio, director of the WHO Asia-Pacific Centre for Environment and Health, underscoring the stakes behind the organization's first regionally-focused climate and health strategy. The five-year plan Dr. Demaio is leading aims to help governments in 38 countries with 2.2 billion people manage rising heat, extreme weather, sea-level change, air pollution and food insecurity by adapting health systems, protecting vulnerable populations, and reducing emissions from the healthcare sector itself. In this timely interview with Raise the Line host Michael Carrese, Dr. Demaio draws on his experiences in emergency medicine, global public health, pandemic response and climate policy to argue for an interconnected approach to strengthening systems and preparing a healthcare workforce to meet the heath impacts of growing environmental challenges. This is a great opportunity to learn how climate change is reshaping medicine, public health and the future of care delivery.  Mentioned in this episode: WHO Asia-Pacific Centre for Environment and Health If you like this podcast, please share it on your social channels.

In this episode, Dr. Jessica Shepard, board-certified OB/GYN and Chief Medical Officer of Hers, shares that the FDA just removed the black box warning on hormone replacement therapy after 23 years. We discuss what actually happened with the WHI study that created all the fear around estrogen and breast cancer, and why the research never actually supported that narrative.Dr. Shepard explains why you shouldn't wait until menopause to start the HRT conversation and how starting in your perimenopausal years can make all the difference for long-term health. Dr. Shepard shares the essential labs she runs on patients including ApoB, HbA1c, and thyroid optimization, plus the longevity metrics women should be tracking.We also get into supplement recommendations including why she recommends 10 grams of creatine daily, the role of inflammation in aging, and how estrogen is naturally anti-inflammatory which is why women see increased cardiovascular risk and metabolic dysfunction after menopause.Kayla's social + website:Instagram:  kaylabarnesTikTok:  femalelongevityTwitter: https://x.com/femalelongevityWebsite: https://www.kaylabarnes.comSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4OLWWn2...Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...Follow Her Female Protocol: https://www.protocol.kaylabarnes.comDr. Jessica Shepherd's social + website:Website: https://www.jessicashepherdmd.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jessicashepherdmd/Transform Your Health: https://eudemonia.net/?utm_source=podcast&utm_medium=kayla-podcast&utm_campaign=jessica-shepherd

How does breakthrough brain science become real treatment for patients? In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Daniela Tropea, Associate Professor of Molecular Psychiatry at Trinity College Dublin, to explore how cutting-edge neuroscience research is being translated into life-changing therapies for mental health and neurodevelopmental disorders.

In this episode, we discuss Botox and the growing number of women choosing natural alternatives. Botox, or botulinum toxin type A, is a neurotoxic protein used in small doses to treat various medical conditions and to reduce wrinkles by temporarily paralyzing muscles. While millions of people have used Botox, it comes with potential side effects like bruising, headaches, muscle weakness and in some cases, more serious complications such as botulism. Most people are unaware that Botox carries a Black Box Warning issued by the FDA which states that Botox can cause serious side effects, including the potential spread of the toxin from the injection site. This warning is the most serious type issued by the FDA. Today, nearly 40% of women seeking anti-aging treatments are now exploring natural alternatives to Botox. Gudrun Snyder, a Doctor of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine and founder of Moon Rabbit Acupuncture and a leading expert in cosmetic acupuncture discusses Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture—a holistic, non-invasive alternative that smooths fine lines, firms skin tone, treats acne, and boosts collagen production, all without synthetic injections.

What if the key to healing your body, calming your mind, and extending your life has been inside you the whole time? In this episode, I sit down with one of the most important scientists alive today, Dr. Kevin Tracey, and I do not say that lightly. Kevin is a neurosurgeon, neuroscientist, and the pioneer behind a discovery that could fundamentally change how we treat disease, mental health, and inflammation. I have wanted him on this show for a long time, and after this conversation, you will understand why. This is one of those episodes where you grab a notebook, because it will completely shift how you think about your body, your brain, and your health. We break down the vagus nerve in plain English and why it may be the master regulator of inflammation, stress, trauma, and longevity. Kevin explains how chronic inflammation is linked to most of the diseases that shorten our lives and how the nervous system acts like the brakes that keep inflammation from spinning out of control. He walks us through the groundbreaking FDA approved therapy using vagus nerve stimulation that is already helping people with rheumatoid arthritis get out of wheelchairs, return to work, and reclaim their lives. And yes, he believes this is just the beginning. We also go deep into the connection between childhood trauma, chronic stress, anxiety, and physical disease. Kevin explains how unhealed stress can leave a biological imprint on the nervous system for decades and how that imprint can quietly drive inflammation throughout the body. We talk about depression, anxiety, heart rate variability, and why your body may be stuck in fight or flight without you even realizing it. This is not theory. This is real science, explained in a way that actually makes sense. Then we get practical. We talk about daily habits that cost nothing but can make a real difference. Breathing, prayer, meditation, cold exposure, exercise, sleep, and why doing hard things on purpose can build both mental resilience and physical health. Kevin is refreshingly honest about what science knows, what it does not know yet, and what questions we should be asking next. That humility is exactly why I trust his work. This conversation left me fired up, hopeful, and honestly in awe of what is coming next in medicine. If you care about your health, your performance, your longevity, or understanding how your mind and body truly work together, this is a must listen. And do yourself a favor and grab his book The Great Nerve. There is not a wasted page. Key Takeaways Why inflammation is at the root of most chronic disease and how the nervous system controls it How the vagus nerve acts as the brake pedal for stress, trauma, and inflammation The revolutionary FDA approved vagus nerve therapy already changing lives How childhood stress can biologically shape your health decades later Simple daily practices that may help calm your nervous system and improve wellbeing If you want to understand the future of health and how to take control of your body from the inside out, this episode will open your eyes.

I sat down with Dr. Kelly Casperson, urologist, women's health advocate, and a leading voice fighting for equality in healthcare, to explore what's really happening to women's bodies and brains during perimenopause and menopause. We discuss why UTIs spike after menopause, how vaginal estrogen actually works (and why the FDA finally removed the black box warning), the truth about HRT and dementia prevention, and why estrogen receptors in your brain matter more than you think. We also unpack why blood work interpretation matters more than ever, how compounding pharmacies work, the shingles vaccine and dementia connection, and why women need to stop waiting for permission to take control of their health.

What if spiritual growth isn't about belief, manifestation, or bypassing reality — but about understanding how reality actually works? In this episode of Why Isn't Everyone Doing This?, Emily sits down with Sarah Elkhaldy, mystic, teacher, and host of Mystery Teachings on Gaia, for a clear, rigorous conversation about free will, karma, destiny, and spiritual evolution. Sarah explains how ancient mystery teachings were designed to initiate real changes in consciousness, not to comfort or inspire. Together, they explore how free will operates between fate and karma, what sovereignty truly requires, and why responsibility is central to spiritual growth. This conversation bridges mysticism and natural law, offering a grounded framework for understanding evolution beyond spiritual aesthetics. They also discuss the concept of homo luminous, the next stage of human evolution, and why presence in the simplest moments can become a profound initiation when awareness is fully engaged. Throughout the episode, Emily and Sarah examine discernment, embodiment, and why not all spiritual paths lead to the same outcomes. This episode is for anyone who feels called to move beyond inspiration and into a deeper understanding of how consciousness evolves through choice, presence, and responsibility.
