Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with Harvard-trained psychiatrist Dr. Georgia Ede, author of "Change Your Diet, Change Your Mind: A Powerful Plan to Improve Mood, Overcome Anxiety, and Protect Memory for a Lifetime of Optimal Mental Health." 

Harvard-trained psychiatrist Dr. Georgia Ede is the author of "Change Your Diet, Change Your Mind: A Powerful Plan to Improve Mood, Overcome Anxiety, and Protect Memory for a Lifetime of Optimal Mental Health." She links diet to the mental health crisis and dementia risk. Ede explains that conventional psychiatric training ignored nutrition, and she later incorporated dietary strategies alongside medication and psychotherapy after personal health experiences. She emphasizes focusing on metabolic and nutritional quality—especially stabilizing blood sugar and insulin—rather than simplistic plant-vs-animal messaging. She argues some animal foods are needed for brain nutrients like B12 and EPA/DHA. She discusses ketogenic diets as a way to lower insulin, produce ketones, improve brain energy, and reduce inflammation, citing case reports and a study of hospitalized patients where many improved and 44% reached remission. She critiques nutrition epidemiology as unreliable and outlines three “quiet” dietary tiers: whole-food low-glycemic, ketogenic, and carnivore, plus practical issues like electrolytes and gradual transition.

At 86, Sandra “Sandy” Taenzer reflects on a lifetime of innovation in Early Childhood–Special Education that began in the 1960s in Germany and still resonates today. Working in a large Illinois School District, Sandy helped initiate early childhood special education through a Federal “First Chance Grant” in 1972. She and a multi-disciplinary team championed “natural, play-based assessment and play as the basis for early learning” She also pioneered collaborative partnerships with school districts and agencies, building interdisciplinary teams to serve children and families more holistically. Since moving to Minnesota's North Shore of Lake Superior in 2004, Sandy has become affectionately known as “Grandma Sandy,” volunteering through home visits, childcare centers, and one-on-one mentoring. Active with Arrowhead Indivisible, she speaks publicly about the Holocaust, sharing stories she heard firsthand from an older neighbor while living in Germany in her early twenties. Sandy warns that she now sees troubling parallels in today's America."I've been an activist all my life, working to ensure that every child has the chance to be their best self." - Sandra TaenzerConnect with SandyEmail: sft020939@gmail.comLearn more about Sandy's ground-breaking work.

Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with Dr. Bret Scher, medical director of the Coalition for Metabolic Health.

Dr. Bret Scher, medical director of the Coalition for Metabolic Health, discusses making metabolic health the foundation of medicine amid rising obesity and type 2 diabetes and reports that 93% of Americans have suboptimal metabolic health. Scher defines metabolic health using markers including glucose, insulin, triglycerides, HDL, blood pressure, and waist size, and cites evidence linking insulin resistance to heart disease, stroke, cancer, psychiatric illness, and other complications. They discuss simple self- and lab-assessments (waist-to-height ratio, fasting insulin with glucose/HOMA-IR, triglyceride-to-HDL ratio, CGMs). Scher critiques the Eat Lancet report for assuming one optimal diet, reliance on low-quality nutrition epidemiology, potential nutrient shortfalls, and environmental oversimplification, while supporting newer dietary guidelines that allow lower-carb approaches. Part two covers contradictory nutrition studies, distinctions between low-carb and ketogenic diets, emerging “metabolic psychiatry” and ketogenic therapy for mental illness and cognitive decline, limits and rebound risks of GLP-1 drugs, and Coalition efforts to improve school food and influence policy.

In this episode of HSS Presents, Dr. Jeffrey Ciccone sits down with Dr. Heidi Prather to explore the vital difference between lifespan (how long you live) and healthspan (how long you stay healthy). As the founder of the HSS Lifestyle Medicine Program, Dr. Prather breaks down the six pillars of a healthy lifestyle—including nutrition, exercise, sleep, and stress management—and how they reduce harmful inflammation in the body. The conversation explains how everyday habits can help treat joint pain, reverse type 2 diabetes, and help patients recover faster and safer from surgery. With practical advice on tracking your health and using pain as a motivation for change, this episode offers a clear look at how lifestyle choices can dramatically improve your long-term mobility and well-being.

Leyla Muedin, a registered dietician nutritionist, shifts the discussion beyond cholesterol and statins to “hidden” cardiovascular risks from insufficient vitamin K and folate intake. Citing Cleveland Clinic and other research, she notes a high prevalence of vitamin K deficiency in the U.S. and widespread inadequate folate intake globally, including low folate levels among women of reproductive age. She explains that vitamin K2 may help inhibit arterial and soft-tissue calcification via activation of matrix GLA protein, with studies linking higher K2 (MK-7) intake to lower coronary heart disease risk and slowed coronary artery calcification. Folate supports vascular function through homocysteine metabolism, with evidence associating higher folate intake with lower cardiovascular mortality, emphasizing active 5-MTHF over folic acid due to conversion limitations in many people. She also notes statins can downregulate vitamin K metabolism and encourages discussing risks, benefits, and supplements with a doctor.

Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with Hal Cranmer, co-owner of A Paradise for Parents assisted living homes in Arizona.

Hal Cranmer, co-owner of A Paradise for Parents assisted living homes in Arizona, details improving senior care beyond “warehousing.” Cranmer describes his path from Air Force pilot to assisted living operator and explains changes he implemented over 12 years, emphasizing meaningful exercise (walks, strength training, yoga, multitasking drills) and an “exercise with oxygen therapy” bike. He highlights excessive polypharmacy in seniors and advocates deprescribing, supplement and hormone support when medically ordered, and avoiding sedating drugs used as chemical restraints. Cranmer details a low-glycemic, low-carbohydrate, ketosis-oriented nutrition approach inspired by Dr. Dale Bredesen, reporting significant weight loss and diabetes medication reduction in residents. He discusses COVID practices that preserved family contact and outdoor time, reporting no COVID deaths in his homes, and describes cognitive training via one-on-one Zoom-based brain exercises and personalized memory games.

Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with Dr. Jacob Teitelbaum, integrative medicine physician, researcher, and best-selling author.

Dr. Jacob Teitelbaum, integrative medicine physician, researcher, and best-selling author, has cutting edge strategies for improving sleep. He emphasizes circadian rhythms, time changes, and jet lag. He details reducing stress and “FOMO” from news and social media, prioritizing sleep by cutting nonessential activities, and the health risks of short sleep, including increased heart attack risk, obesity risk, and impaired immunity, plus the role of deep sleep and the glymphatic system. Teitelbaum recommends a dark, cool room, limiting blue light (eye masks, warm/yellow lighting), bedtime routines, sustained-release melatonin, chamomile tea, herbal blends, lavender, magnesium, and addressing issues like sleep apnea (including positional strategies), restless legs (ferritin testing, iron, magnesium), nocturnal hypoglycemia (protein snacks, phosphatidylserine), reflux (bicarbonate, bed elevation), and selective low-dose medications when needed. They also cover daylight saving time adjustment and travel strategies such as shifting schedules, melatonin timing, hydration, and morning light exposure.

In this episode of the Future of Fitness Podcast, host Eric Malzone sits down with Chris Mirabile, founder of NOVOS, to unpack the science and business of longevity. Chris shares how surviving a brain tumor as a teenager reshaped his perspective on health and pushed him to study aging at a biological level. The conversation dives into what longevity actually means beyond buzzwords—how it differs from simply living a healthy lifestyle, why healthspan matters just as much as lifespan, and the science behind targeting the biological "hallmarks of aging." Chris also explains why some popular trends like hormone optimization and peptides are more complex than they seem, and how NOVOS approaches longevity by addressing the root cellular mechanisms that drive aging, disease risk, and long-term performance. Key Takeaways:

Resveratrol + Copper Research, Plus Grain-Free Strategies for Stalled Weight Loss: Leyla Muedin, a registered dietitian nutritionist, answers listener emails. She reviews a small India study (BJC Reports, published September 30, 2025) in which 10 glioblastoma patients awaiting surgery received resveratrol (5.6 mg) and copper (560 ng) four times daily for about 11.6 days, compared with 10 controls; the combination generated reactive oxygen species that deactivated cell-free chromatin particles in the tumor microenvironment and reduced cancer hallmarks. Asked whether this could be prophylactic against cancer, she says it is unknown and requires replication in larger studies, advising supplement use be discussed with a practitioner. She then addresses grain elimination for stalled weight loss: replace grains with more meat and non-starchy vegetables, think beyond typical breakfast foods by using leftovers, and use small portions of starchy vegetables (e.g., squash or potato) if starch helps sleep. She recommends investigating root causes of anxiety and poor sleep and suggests moderation for foods like oatmeal.

In this episode of Longevity by Design, host Dr. Gil Blander sits down with Dr. David Allison, Director of the USDA Children's Nutrition Research Center at Baylor College of Medicine. Together, they examine what it takes to build public trust in nutrition and longevity science, and why clear, reproducible evidence matters more than ever. David highlights how public perception and scientific rigor can drift apart, especially in fields crowded with strong opinions and shifting trends.David shares sharp insights on weight management, challenging the idea that slow and steady always wins. He explains the “dentistry model” of weight loss, where maintenance matters more than one-time fixes, and explores why most people regain weight without ongoing support. The discussion cuts through assumptions about exercise, protein, and processed foods, showing where animal research aligns, or fails to align, with human studies.Throughout, David pushes for honest communication and transparency in science. He urges listeners to question hype, look past nutrition fads, and recognize the real limits of current evidence. The episode offers practical wisdom for anyone who wants to approach health, nutrition, and longevity with both curiosity and caution. Guest-at-a-Glance

Free Speech, Cancel Culture, and the Mental Health Benefits of Speaking Up: Clinical psychologist Dr. Chloe Carmichael, author of “Can I Say That? Why Free Speech Matters and How to Use It Fearlessly,” frames free expression as a mental health and problem-solving issue amid rising polarization, self-censorship, and cancel culture. Carmichael says authentic speech deepens cognition, aids emotional regulation, and strengthens social support, while chronic suppression can lead to repression, denial, anxiety, depression, and resentment. She describes fear and professional risk after publicly opposing child masking during COVID and argues that labeling speech as “violence” distorts reality, though true threats and incitement differ from words. She distinguishes self-censorship from healthy restraint, offers the WAIT test (Want, Appropriate, Inoculate, Trust), and discusses groupthink, innovation, misinformation debates, time-place-manner limits, and examples from corporate and university settings.

Send a textSpeaking of Women's Health Podcast host Holly Thacker, MD sat down with Cleveland Clinic internist and executive health physician Richard Cartabuke, MD to map out how a single, coordinated visit can compress a month of care—advanced labs, imaging and expert consults—into a focused plan you can actually use. From there, they go deeper: why direct genetic testing beats ancestry kits for medical decisions, how proteomics and multiomics translate your biology into priorities and where whole genome sequencing is headed as targeted therapies arrive.Data is only useful if it drives daily choices, in the interview learn how to turn complex readouts into simple steps: strength training, protein-forward meals, sleep regularity, blood pressure control and stress habits that lower cortisol. On the therapeutic front, they explore GLP‑1 and GIP agonists beyond weight loss—microdosing schedules, inflammation reduction and organ benefits—plus practical ways to access legitimate medication through manufacturer programs and avoid risky compounding. They wrap up the interview with a clear takeaway: start earlier than you think, build a baseline you can track and use precision tools to focus effort where it matters most.Support the show

What if the most important predictor of how well you age is not your bloodwork, but your skeletal muscle mass? In this episode of StarrCast, Lisa Starr sits down with Alexia Brue, Founder and CEO of The Practice, to explore the rise of healthspan based fitness and why strength training may be the most powerful intervention for long term vitality. In this conversation Alexia shares how her journey from co-founding Well+Good to launching The Practice led her to build Greenwich's first personal training studio centered on healthspan, VO2 max, body composition, and measurable fitness biomarkers. Together, they unpack how wellness is evolving from lifestyle aspiration to outcomes driven performance and why proactive strength training is essential for aging well. What You'll Learn: Why healthspan, not just lifespan, should guide your fitness strategy How skeletal muscle mass impacts insulin sensitivity, bone density, brain health, and metabolic resilience What VO2 max and zone training reveal about cardiovascular longevity How undulating periodization improves strength gains and long term muscle development Why reassessment and fitness biomarker tracking are the next evolution of personal training Episode Highlights: 03:18 – How global bathhouse research shaped Alexia's entry into the wellness industry 10:42 – The rise of Well+Good and how digital media legitimized wellness as a business category 18:27 – What healthspan really means and how to "square the curve" of aging 26:55 – Why most midlife women are under muscled and what that means for long term vitality 33:40 – Inside The Practice: one method, five systems, and outcomes driven training 41:12 – VO2 max, zone 2 cardio, and the Norwegian 4x4 protocol explained 47:06 – Why reassessment and accountability redefine modern personal training Meet the Guest: Alexia Brue is the Founder and CEO of The Practice, a personal training studio built around healthspan and measurable fitness outcomes. She is also the co-founder and former CEO of Well+Good, one of the first major digital media platforms dedicated to the business of wellness. Tools, Frameworks, and Strategies Mentioned: Healthspan based training model One Method, Five Systems framework Undulating periodization VO2 max testing and anaerobic power assessment Zone 2 steady state cardio and Zone 4 and 5 metabolic training Norwegian 4x4 cardiovascular protocol Healthspan reporting and reassessment every 24 sessions Closing Insight: As Alexia explains, "Building skeletal muscle mass is upstream of almost everything." When we focus on strength, capability, and measurable fitness biomarkers, we are not chasing optimization for its own sake. We are investing in vibrant years, independence, and resilience. If you care about aging well and living fully into your 80s and 90s, this episode offers a practical roadmap grounded in science and experience.   Looking for expert advice in Spa Consulting, with live training and online learning?   Spa Consulting: wynnebusiness.com/spa-management-consulting Live Training: wynnebusiness.com/live-education Online Learning: wynnebusiness.com/spa-management-courses   Other Links: Connect with Alexia: https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexia-brue-1670618/   Follow Lisa on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lisastarrwynnebusiness, Listen on Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/at/podcast/starrcast/id1565223226 Listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/00tW92ruuwangYoLxR9WDd Watch the StarrCast on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@wynnebusiness Join us on Facebook: facebook.com/wynnebusiness/?ref=bookmarks Join us on Instagram: instagram.com/wynnebusiness

Most people obsess over lifespan—but what if the real metric that matters is healthspan? In this powerful conversation, Dr. JC Doornick sits down with world-renowned longevity expert Oz Garcia to unpack why so many people feel depleted, foggy, and biologically older than their years—even when their labs say they're “fine.” From post-COVID fatigue and chronic inflammation to mitochondrial health, cellular energy, brain vitality, and the responsible use of peptides as signaling molecules, this episode dives deep into what actually drives aging—and how to reverse the biological drift. If you've been asking, “Why am I always tired?” or wondering how to stay sharp, resilient, and fully alive after 40 or 50, this conversation will reframe everything you thought you knew about longevity. This isn't about hacks. It's about protecting your energy, preserving your brain, and staying in the game for decades to come.

What if the real goal isn't living longer, but staying strong and independent until the very last day? Amy Hudson and Dr. James Fisher sit down with Doug McGuff M.D. to unpack the truth about healthspan and what it really takes to protect it. Doug covers why muscle is the foundation of resilience, how physiologic headroom determines the quality of your final years, and why resistance training may be the single most important investment you can make for your future self. Tune in to discover what strong aging actually looks like and how to start building it now. Doug shares how his interest in strength training eventually collided with medical school and changed how he saw health altogether. What started as lifting weights turned into a deeper understanding of how the body actually adapts and heals. That is when he realized high intensity resistance training was doing far more than building muscle. Doug covers why most commercial gyms miss the mark for the people who need them most. They are built for experienced lifters, not beginners or older adults who need clarity, efficiency, and measurable progress. That is why structured training and working with a knowledgeable personal trainer completely changes the experience. Doug explains that when you apply a meaningful exercise stimulus, the adaptation goes far beyond muscle size. Sleep improves, mood stabilizes, emotional resilience increases, and even diet begins to shift organically. Doug shares what he has observed in older clients who preserve their muscle mass. On imaging, their organs look younger, better hydrated, and more robust. Their lab work often reflects that same internal vitality. Doug reveals that skeletal muscle is the largest endocrine organ in the body. It is constantly signaling and communicating with other tissues, influencing metabolism and systemic health. According to Doug, if you wanted everything bad to happen to a human being, you would immobilize them and overfeed them. That combination creates the perfect conditions for metabolic dysfunction. It is also a surprisingly accurate description of modern life. Doug introduces the concept of physiologic headroom as the gap between your maximum capacity and what daily life demands from you. The larger that gap, the more resilient you are under stress. Training systematically increases that margin. Doug reassures that skeletal muscle retains its adaptive capacity across the lifespan. Even if someone has been sedentary for years, the machinery for growth and adaptation is still intact. The response may be gradual, but it is reliably there. Doug and Dr. Fisher explain that it is not the workout itself that produces health benefits, but the adaptive response that follows meaningful fatigue. During a hard set, you actually become weaker, and that perceived threat to movement drives the health upgrade. Why strength training is one of the most powerful interventions for osteoporosis.  Dr. Fisher reminds us that none of us can escape death. The real objective is protecting healthspan right up until the last moment. Living at peak physiologic capacity for as long as possible changes the entire experience of aging. Learn why the dramatic gains in the first year of training are often the most noticeable of a lifetime. After that, progress flattens, and the goal shifts to maintaining a high level of strength.  Doug emphasizes the importance of training with intent and controlled aggressiveness. The process is about doing slightly better than last time, even in small increments.  Doug is clear that training does not guarantee you will live to one hundred years. What it changes is the quality of the years leading up to the end.  Doug encourages anyone hesitant to remember that muscle remains plastic and adaptable throughout life. The adaptive response is simple and predictable when the stimulus is meaningful, so it's never too late to start strength training. Doug shares candidly at 64 that aging itself is not glamorous. Many aspects of it are difficult, but resistance training dramatically alters how it feels. Doug closes by sharing that most people do not fail in the gym because they lack effort, they fail because they lack direction.

Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with Neil Levin, the Senior Nutrition Education Manager and a product formulator for NOW(r) Foods and Protocol for Life Balance. 

Nutritional Support for Brain Health: Lifestyle, Curcumin, Magnesium, and Key Nootropics: Nutrition educator/formulator Neil Levin from Protocol for Life Balance details nutritional support for brain health amid skepticism about “brain-boosting” supplements, citing a preprint randomized controlled trial using a multifaceted lifestyle plan (diet, exercise, sleep) plus targeted supplementation that reportedly improved and even reversed symptoms in people with mild cognitive impairment. They contrast lifestyle strategies with costly, side-effect-prone injectable “plaque-buster” Alzheimer's drugs and notes debate about whether amyloid is a root cause or byproduct. The conversation highlights inflammation and oxidation as major aging-related brain threats and reviews supplements including a brain-targeted curcumin (discussing bioavailability, delivery methods, blood–brain barrier crossing, and claims of lowering beta-amyloid protein), magnesium L-threonate for CNS delivery, phosphatidylserine and acetylcholine support (including huperzine), ginkgo and gotu kola, glutamine/GABA pathways, creatine, omega-3s (DHA/EPA and algae sources), B vitamins, acetyl-L-carnitine, alpha-lipoic acid, and cocoa flavanols, plus concerns about supplement industry enforcement.

Ilana Landsberg-Lewis went to law school to understand how power works—so she could help transform it in the service of justice, especially for women. Alongside her father, she co-founded and led a nonprofit funding community-based organization in sub-Saharan Africa working to turn the tide of AIDS and support African grandmothers raising a generation of grandchildren orphaned by the pandemic. When others dismissed older women as “not a sustainable investment,” Ilana helped launch an international movement of grandmothers across Canada, the UK, and the United States—raising more than $50 million and supporting millions of grandchildren. At the center of this work is her unwavering belief that older women are not only caregivers, but leaders, change-makers, and moral anchors for their communities.Through her podcast and fund, Ilana lifts up older women's stories and their power-- a practice of love and a commitment to liberation—from the chains of inequality and from the limits placed on whose lives are valued. Her work invites us to see the human family more fully, and to recognize older women as essential architects of justice across the globe.Connect with IlanaEmail:grandmothersonthemove@gmail.comWebsite: wisdomatworkpodcast.comThank you to our SPONSOR—AARP Illinois, dedicated to empowering adults 50 and older to choose how they live as they age.

Hidden Hunger: The Importance of Micronutrients: Nutritionist Leyla Muedin focuses on the critical role of micronutrients—vitamins and minerals—in overall health. Leyla highlights the global issue of 'hidden hunger,' a deficiency in essential micronutrients that silently affects billions worldwide. She explains the impact of this deficit on immune function, growth, energy metabolism, and chronic disease prevention. The discussion includes key micronutrients like vitamins A, C, D, E, B complex, iron, zinc, iodine, and selenium, and their sources. Leyla underscores the need for dietary diversity, fortification, targeted supplementation, and nutritional awareness to combat this pervasive issue. She also advises on recognizing symptoms of deficiencies and the importance of individualized nutrition plans guided by healthcare professionals.

Heart disease should be treated just like cancer, says guest Mike McConnell, an author and expert in preventive cardiology at Stanford: Detect and stage early, then treat aggressively. In his practice, McConnell focuses on using low-dose CT imaging for detecting early coronary artery disease. He also helped pioneer the use of AI to infer cardiovascular risk from retinal scans. Such non-invasive, consumer-friendly tools could expand prevention, personalize therapy, and cut heart attacks and strokes across the board, he says. “Everybody also deserves a proactive preventive cardiologist in their phone,” McConnell tells host Russ Altman of the latest approaches to heart disease on this episode of Stanford Engineering's The Future of Everything podcast.
