Episode Description Your cardiologist measures cholesterol and blood pressure—but completely ignores the emotional stress that's silently restructuring your heart. Dr. Sandeep Jauhar, world-leading cardiologist and New York Times bestselling author, reveals what the medical establishment refuses to acknowledge: grief, chronic stress, and anger don't just feel bad—they physically transform cardiac tissue. Twenty percent of heart attack patients have zero traditional risk factors. The missing link? Unprocessed emotional pain. This episode exposes the phenomenon cardiologists are finally documenting: "broken heart syndrome" (Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy), where acute emotional trauma causes the heart to balloon into a measurable, distinctive shape within hours. Dr. Jauhar shares actual patient scans proving that grief, loneliness, and stress create visible cardiovascular damage—and reveals groundbreaking research showing stress management reverses arterial plaque more effectively than diet or exercise alone. The controversial truth? Modern medicine focused exclusively on what it could measure—cholesterol, blood pressure—while ignoring what it couldn't prescribe pills for: toxic relationships, workplace stress, unresolved grief, and social isolation. As Dr. Jauhar explains: "We can give a pill for blood pressure. We can give a pill for cholesterol. You can't really give a pill to change the emotional dynamic of someone's life." Discover the hidden science behind emotional cardiac damage, including research on Japanese immigrants showing psychosocial disruption increases heart disease even with identical cholesterol and blood pressure levels, and the rabbit study proving that connection and affection reduced arterial plaque by 40%—on the exact same high-fat diet. The ancient Greeks understood what we forgot: the heart is both physical pump and emotional epicenter. If you've been told your heart is "healthy" based on lab work alone while anxiety, grief, or chronic stress drain your vitality, this episode reveals the critical piece your doctor never measured. Your emotional life isn't separate from your physical survival. It's the foundation.

What if you thought you were doing the right things and invincible, and then…a heart attack happens? That's exactly what my guest Cindy experienced. She had been trying to eat ‘clean keto' and was feeling she had more energy with weight loss, and then a heart attack came out of the blue. That's how her life as she knew it, changed when she came out of the surgery room and was prescribed 5 meds.   Join me in this episode as we hear of Cindy's plant-based diet journey, the changes she experienced and her key piece of takeaway advice for those wanting to start or continue eating plant-based. The best part? I followed up with Cindy and two years later eating plant-based, she has come off of nearly all her meds and her HbA1c level is even lower!     Contact -> healthnow@plantnourished.com Learn -> www.plantnourished.com Join -> Plant-Powered Life Transformation Course: www.plantnourished.com/ppltcourse Connect with Community -> www.facebook.com/groups/beginnerplantbaseddietsuccess Get Free 15-Minute Strategy Call -> www.plantnourished.com/strategycall Free Resource -> Quick Start Grocery Guide for Plant-Based Essentials: www.plantnourished.com/groceryguide     Have a question about plant-based diets that you would like answered on the Plant Based Eating Made Easy Podcast?

What if the guilt you feel after a slip-up is actually more damaging than the slip itself?So many people approach the holidays believing one cookie, one skipped workout, or one moment of overwhelm means they've “ruined” their healing. But that narrative isn't true — and it's undermining your progress far more than any single choice ever could.In today's episode of Renegade Remission, we're dismantling the myth of “falling off the wagon” and replacing it with a new, science-backed understanding of healing: one rooted in compassion, nervous system safety, and resilience.You'll learn how guilt elevates cortisol, increases inflammation, disrupts digestion and sleep, and keeps your body stuck in fight-or-flight, in other words, the exact opposite of the healing state your cells need. And more importantly, you'll learn how small, intentional resets can bring you back into alignment instantly.By the end of this episode, you'll discover:Why falling off the wagon is a myth, and healing is continuous, not linearHow guilt hijacks your nervous system and increases inflammationWhy self-compassion accelerates healing more effectively than disciplineHow to use slip-ups as information, and not beat yourself up over themSimple reset rituals (breath, hydration, movement, mindset shifts) that get you back on track in secondsHow to separate your identity from your actions — the key to breaking lifelong guilt patternsYou'll walk away with a new framework for staying grounded, kind, and committed to your health during the holidays — without perfectionism, shame, or self-criticism.Today, choose one small act of reconnection: a deep breath, a glass of water, a grounding pause, or a compassionate thought. Let that be your reset — your signal to step back into healing gently and without judgment.And join us in our next episode for Day 10, where we'll explore how to stay calm and centered in the midst of holiday chaos, no matter what's happening around you.DisclaimerThis podcast is for educational purposes only and does not offer medical advice.

Unmasking Hidden Sugars in 'Healthy' Drinks: Leyla Muedin, a registered dietitian nutritionist, examines the surprising amounts of sugar found in commonly perceived 'healthy' drinks. She discusses how beverages like energy drinks, fruit smoothies, and chai lattes can exceed the daily recommended sugar intake, based on a study by Ben's Natural Health. Leyla warns that even health-focused products and homemade drinks can contain high sugar levels, which can impact weight, blood sugar levels, and overall health. She emphasizes the importance of being an 'ingredient sleuth' and making informed choices. 

What if the most powerful healing tool you have this holiday season is something you're not giving yourself enough of?Sleep isn't a luxury — it's a biological requirement for repair, detoxification, and resilience. And for anyone navigating a chronic or life-altering illness, rest is one of the most potent forms of medicine you have.During the holidays, even the best intentions around sleep can fall apart — late nights, travel, stress, sugar, alcohol, hosting, early mornings, and constant stimulation. But your healing body depends on rest. When sleep drops, inflammation rises. Cortisol spikes. Blood sugar destabilizes. Repair processes slow. Symptoms flare.In today's episode, we go deep into how sleep impacts healing and how to reclaim rest even in the busiest season of the year. You'll learn why restorative sleep is non-negotiable for immune strength, inflammation control, emotional balance, and cellular repair — and how to protect it without feeling guilty or overwhelmed.In this episode, you'll discover:Why sleep is your body's most powerful healing stateWhat happens at night: detoxification, DNA repair, hormone balancing, immune activationHow holiday stress disrupts the sleep–healing cyclePractical ways to reclaim restorative rest, even in chaotic environmentsMicro-rest rituals that instantly calm your nervous systemMindset shifts to release guilt around restingSimple environmental changes that support deep, nourishing sleepBy the end, you'll know how to treat rest like the medicine it truly is.Click play on this episode, and then choose one thing we talk about to protect your rest tonight. Make rest a non-negotiable part of your healing — not something you fit in when everything else is done.Join us for Day 9, where we'll talk about breaking the guilt cycle when you fall out of sync with your nutrition plan, and how to get back on track without shame.DisclaimerThis podcast is for educational purposes only and does not offer medical advice.

I am honored to have Dr. Tom Dayspring join me again today for another AMA session. He and I have done eight podcasts before, and this is a continuation of our last Ask Me Anything episode.  Dr Dayspring is an esteemed expert on internal medicine and clinical lipidology. He is likely one of the most influential worldwide lipid experts, so I am thrilled to have him back with me to dive into various topics related to listener questions, including the impact of hormone replacement therapy on lipid changes, methods of administration, and why bioidentical hormone replacement therapy is preferable for managing both menopausal symptoms and lipid health. We discuss medications, including PCSK9 inhibitors and GLP-1s, as well as intermittent fasting, lipids, and cardiovascular disease risk. We also examine how heart disease develops gradually, over time, the impact of stress and lifestyle, and Dr. Dayspring shares the labs he recommends beyond traditional lipids, ApoB, and LpA. In our discussion, Dr. Dayspring noted that he was not in a position to speak about GLP-1 therapies or microdosing. Since I received many questions from listeners on those topics, I will host a future solo AMA to address some of their concerns. Today's conversation with Dr. Tom Dayspring is truly invaluable, and I trust you will walk away with valuable insights you can share with your healthcare providers. We created a PDF - cynthiathurlow.com/lipids -  specifically for listeners that outlines key labs to discuss with your providers and questions to ask them to help you advocate for your own health and your family members' health. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN: Why being physically fit does not always eliminate the risk of heart problems arising How ApoB and cholesterol contribute to heart disease over decades Why the early testing of risk factors is essential How chronic stress increases the risk of heart disease  How high cortisol affects insulin sensitivity and glucose regulation How stress impacts endothelial and nitric oxide function The link between low Omega-3 levels and heart problems How insulin resistance degrades heart health How high homocysteine levels can impair endothelial function and contribute to cardiovascular problems Connect with Cynthia Thurlow   Follow on⁠ X⁠,⁠ Instagram⁠ &⁠ LinkedIn⁠ Check out Cynthia's⁠ website⁠ Submit your questions to support@cynthiathurlow.com Join other like-minded women in a supportive, nurturing community ⁠(The Midlife Pause/Cynthia Thurlow⁠)⁠ ⁠ Cynthia's⁠ Menopause Gut Book⁠ is on presale now!

Are you overlooking early symptoms of heart disease because they don't look “typical”? In this episode, I chat with Dr. Jayne Morgan—one of the world's leading voices in women's cardiology—about the number one killer of women: heart disease. She explains how pregnancy complications, hormonal transitions, and overlooked symptoms silently raise risk long before most women ever get screened. Together, we break down what tests matter, what symptoms never to ignore, and how every woman can take charge of her cardiovascular health starting now. Dr. Jayne Morgan is a powerhouse cardiologist on a mission to revolutionize women's heart health with clarity and honesty. She's also a Pilates instructor, a fierce educator, and one of the few women boldly challenging the blind spots in traditional cardiology training. What you'll learn: (01:52) Why heart disease—not breast cancer—is the number one killer of women and why most women never see it coming. (04:29) How Dr. Morgan realized women's symptoms were dismissed as “atypical,” leading to delayed care and missed diagnoses. (07:26) The subtle early symptoms women experience—fatigue, jaw pain, nausea, shortness of breath—that are often confused for anxiety. (13:38) How pregnancy complications can sometimes predict future heart disease risk. (15:21) Why combining cardiology and obstetrics is essential. (26:39) What happens to heart disease risk during perimenopause and menopause. (37:11) Why movement—not formal “exercise”—is one of the most impactful daily habits for reducing heart disease risk. (45:08) Which tests every woman should ask for, including calcium scoring, thyroid panels, and cholesterol markers. Love the podcast? Here's what to do: Subscribe to the podcast. Leave a review.

Transformations are often quite painful. Whether we're growing emotionally or undergoing a physical metamorphosis, real change usually demands discomfort, and sometimes even danger.In Jon M. Chu's Wicked films, the characters literally burst through their own limits: they sprout wings, become tin or straw, or learn to fly by defying gravity.Like all the past Wizard of Oz books and films, Wicked is a mirror of its time. Since the Covid pandemic, conservative movements around the globe have seized on a new scapegoat: openly trans and gender-diverse people. Despite being a tiny fraction of the population, trans folks have been painted as a massive cultural threat, a convenient distraction and a powerful tool for those hungry to seize political power.So what can Wicked teach us about facism? What can Elphaba's journey reveal about the machinery of oppression and about the yellow brick roads queer and trans people are still carving toward liberation?Today we're joined by trans-tech visionary Violet Kitajewski to explore Wicked as an allegory for LGBTQ resilience, transformation, and resistance. After all, that gravity isn't going to defy itself.Plus-- Cynthia Erivo and Arianna Grande announce they are in a “non-demi-curious, semi-binary relationship.”FEATURED MUSIC:Here Comes the Hurricane Legendary Katrina - Kevin JZ Prodigy★ https://youtu.be/GMKaa_q1eCg?si=d0F5b7bV9eSpG6_mFOLLOW US ON INSTAGRAM:★ instagram.com/transosaur★ instagram.com/faustofernos ★ instagram.com/marcfelionHelp Fausto & Marc Fight Blindness and Heart Disease★ https://gofund.me/00771d8fe

What if just a few minutes of gentle movement each day could lower inflammation, lift your mood, and support your healing?Most people think healing movement has to be intense — but especially during the holidays, your body is asking for something different: softness, rhythm, oxygen, circulation, and compassion.December tends to pull us into “rushing mode”: rushing to events, rushing through tasks, rushing past our own needs. But your body doesn't heal when you rush it. It heals through consistent micro-moments of movement that signal safety, regulate your nervous system, and reduce inflammation.In today's episode, we explore how gentle, joyful movement can become one of the most powerful tools for healing, even when your schedule is packed. No gym memberships. No discipline marathons. Just movement that meets you where you are.In this episode, you'll learn:Why gentle movement works physiologically, especially for chronic illnessHow micro-movement boosts lymph flow, oxygenation, and immune functionThe science behind 5–10 minutes of daily movement reducing inflammatory markersCreative ways to move when you “don't have time”, like the Cooking Shuffle and Nature MicrodoseHow movement improves mood, memory, and mental healthWhy nature acts as a “second nervous system,” calming stress instantlyTiny rituals you can build into any day, from phone call walks to 10-step resetsYou'll walk away feeling empowered to move in ways that feel nurturing—not punishing.Press play for a complete guide to using movement effectively, and join us for our next episode, Day 8, where we'll explore the perfect complement to movement: rest. You'll learn how sleep repairs your body during the holidays and how to protect it.DisclaimerThis podcast is for educational purposes only and does not offer medical advice.

Send us a textHow dietary polyunsaturated fats, especially omega-6 from seed oils, influence inflammation & heart health.Topics Discussed:Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs): Omega-6 from seed oils like safflower and corn can convert to pro-inflammatory molecules, while omega-3s produce resolving ones; imbalance biases toward chronic inflammation.Inflammation regulation: Acute inflammation aids healing but requires active “on” and “off” signals from lipid mediators; chronic inflammation arises from excess omega-6, delaying resolution.Heart health & diet: High omega-6 diets worsen post-heart attack outcomes in mice by elevating pro-inflammatory lipids.Evolution & historical context: PUFAs are essential but naturally balanced in pre-industrial diets; modern processing skews ratios, contributing to diseases, as shown in early rat experiments needing minimal fats for survival.Aging & lifestyle factors: Excess omega-6 exacerbates inflammation in older mice; sleep, exercise, and balanced fats are crucial for metabolic health and enzyme function in processing lipids.Cannabis & omega-6 interaction: In mice on high omega-6 diets, CBD-rich cannabis smoke reaches the heart quickly, suppresses immune response, and weakens cardiac strain, unlike in balanced-diet controls.Genetic models: FAT-1 mice converting omega-6 to omega-3 show better healing and neuroprotection; FAT-2 mice doing the opposite exhibit liver fibrosis and metabolic issues, highlighting omega-6 excess harms.Practical Takeaways:Balance omega-6 and omega-3 intake by reducing seed oils in processed foods and increasing sources like fish or algae to support inflammation resolution and heart health.Monitor and adjust fat intake with age, as older individuals are more sensitive to omega-6 excess leading to immune dysregulation.Avoid combining high omega-6 diets with smoking, as it may impair immune and cardiac responses based on animal data.About the guest: Ganesh Halade, PhD is a cardiovascular scientist and associate professor at the University of South Florida Morsani College of Medicine.*Not medical advice.Support the showAffiliates: Lumen device to optimize your metabolism for weight loss or athletic performance.

In this episode, we open with a look at how news coverage distorts public perception of danger, from shark attacks to terrorism, and why our instincts so often fail to match the data. We analyze the betting markets in regards to potential 2028 GOP presidential candidates. We discuss Ohio's new proposal to offer paternity testing at birth, raising deeper questions about truth, family, and whether the state should standardize knowledge people may prefer not to have. We explore what consent really means in modern politics, how taxation relates to self-ownership, and whether withdrawing consent is even possible inside a democratic system.

A thick neck is more than a cosmetic issue — it's one of the clearest physical signs of metabolic stress, indicating higher risks for diabetes, heart disease, and stroke Research shows neck circumference predicts disease risk more accurately than BMI or waist size because it reflects harmful visceral fat stored around vital organs Fat around the neck and upper torso releases inflammatory chemicals and stress hormones that disrupt blood sugar, blood pressure, and heart rhythm Visible changes in your neck, such as swelling, lumps, bulging veins, or sagging tissue, offer early clues about thyroid dysfunction, heart strain, or oxygen deprivation during sleep Tracking your neck size each month is an easy, no-cost way to monitor your metabolic health, helping you take early action before serious conditions develop

On this episode of the Donut of Destiny, hosts Sotirios Evangelou, MD, FSCCT and Nisha Hosadurg , MBBS speak with guest Alan Vainrib, MD on how computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is emerging as a powerful research tool for understanding blood-flow behavior in structural heart disease. Using CT/MRI-based models, CFD can simulate pressures, velocities, shear stress and even post-procedure hemodynamics — offering new possibilities for evaluating aortic stenosis, planning TAVR and guiding mitral, tricuspid and LAAO interventions.

Exposure to artificial light at night disrupts your body's natural sleep-wake rhythm, raising your risk of heart disease, heart attack, stroke, and heart failure A large-scale study found that adults living in the brightest nighttime environments had up to a 56% higher risk of heart failure and a 47% higher risk of heart attack compared to those in the darkest settings When combined with air pollution, bright night environments amplify cardiovascular risk even more — nighttime light accounted for up to 39% of the extra heart failure risk linked to polluted air Nighttime light not only harms your heart but also increases the risk of mental health disorders, including depression, anxiety, PTSD, and bipolar disorder, while reducing exposure to bright daylight worsens these effects Restoring a natural light-dark cycle — bright days and truly dark nights — helps regulate your hormones, protect your heart, improve mood, and reduce your risk of chronic disease

In this episode of Walk, Don't Run to the Doctor, we take a deep dive into statins, their true benefits, their real risks, and the massive role lifestyle plays in shaping heart disease outcomes. Rather than accepting oversimplified medical advice, this episode empowers you to think critically, understand uncertainty in medicine, and make fully informed decisions about your own health. You'll learn how to interpret risk statistics (like relative vs absolute risk), why lifestyle may outperform medication for many people, and why statins are helpful for some—yet potentially unnecessary or harmful for others. If you've ever been told "your cholesterol is high, you need a statin," this episode will give you the tools to ask better questions and understand whether that advice truly applies to someone like you.   Key Takeaways: -Medical uncertainty is real — many "facts" are actually opinions without solid or applicable evidence. -Statins help some people more than others: -Strong evidence for people who already had a heart attack. -Much smaller benefit (sometimes minimal) for healthy, active people without prior heart disease. -Absolute vs. relative risk matters: -A "25% reduction in risk" may really mean only 1 fewer event per 100 people. -Lifestyle changes can reduce risk by 50–80%, often outperforming statin benefits—especially for people who exercise, eat whole foods, avoid smoking, keep weight down, and drink moderately. -Statin risks are real: Muscle pain: up to 1 in 10 Diabetes risk increased: about 1 in 200 Possible cognitive impairment (enough for an FDA warning) Polypharmacy (multiple medications) increases uncertainty and side-effect risks.   Get your copy of Good Food Great Medicine, 4th ed.: https://a.co/d/1D6hIYM More references can be found at www.GreatMed.org   Would you like Dr. Hassell to answer your question on the air?

Sometimes life forces you to hit the pause button. Not because you wanted to, but because your body says, “sit down honey, we've got work to do.”After nearly two decades of podcasting, we thought we'd seen it all, until this summer, when I had emergency eye surgery to save my vision, and Marc had his heart shocked back into rhythm after a scary bout of atrial fibrillation.Between the two of us, we had enough hospital bracelets to start our own line of jewelry. But through all of it, we learned a few things: about getting older, facing fear, and finding humor when life gets dizzy or blurry.On today's show, we're sharing what really happened, what we learned about resilience and love, and how to keep your sense of humor when the road gets bumpy. It's our comeback episode: I Almost Went Blind, a story about healing, gratitude, and seeing life in a whole new light.

Heart disease is still the leading cause of death, yet most people never learn about the tests that actually reveal their true risk. In this episode of the Medical Disruptor, I explain why your genetics are not your destiny, why traditional cholesterol panels often miss the full picture, and how modern testing can show what is really happening inside your arteries. My goal in this episode is to help you understand your true risk, build a prevention-focused care team, and take back control with information that is rooted in evidence, not fear. If you've ever been told your labs are “normal” but still want deeper answers, this episode gives you the modern roadmap for protecting your heart. Looking to schedule a consultation with Dr. E?

What if the key to surviving an “incurable” diagnosis wasn't found in a lab, but in your kitchen? In this extraordinary episode, we follow the true story of Pablo Kelly, who defied every medical prediction after walking away from radiation and chemotherapy for a terminal brain tumor—and used nutrition alone to reclaim his life.Diagnosed with glioblastoma multiforme, the most aggressive form of brain cancer, Pablo was given less than a year to live. But instead of accepting that fate, he began a radical nutritional experiment—one that would change the course of his health, and challenge everything medicine thought it knew about cancer metabolism.Through a strict ketogenic diet, Pablo starved his tumor's primary fuel source—glucose—forcing his body into a state of ketosis that favored healing over growth. Over time, his scans stabilized, his energy returned, and what doctors once called “impossible” became his reality: full remission.By the end of this episode, you'll discover:The remarkable true story of Pablo Kelly's recovery from glioblastoma multiforme—and what his decade of survival reveals about the body's ability to heal.The emerging science of metabolic therapies—and how food can influence cancer metabolism, inflammation, and repair.The shared nutritional patterns seen across documented cases of remission, no matter the diagnosis.Why “one-size-fits-all” diets fail—and how aligning food choices with intuition, feedback, and physiology can become a personal blueprint for healing.You'll also hear how Pablo's journey connects to other stories of remission—from plant-based to ketogenic to carnivore—and what they share at the cellular level: a return to whole, unprocessed, life-giving foods that allow the body to remember how to heal.Listen now to learn how one man's refusal to accept the inevitable—and his willingness to trust his body's intelligence—redefined what healing from cancer can mean. Because sometimes, the most radical act of hope begins with what's on your plate.DisclaimerThis podcast is for educational purposes only and does not offer medical advice.

Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with Dr. Alan Rozanski, a distinguished Professor of Medicine at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and Director of Nuclear Cardiology at Mount Sinai St. Luke's in New York City.

Dr. Alan Rozanski, a distinguished Professor of Medicine at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and Director of Nuclear Cardiology at Mount Sinai St. Luke's in New York City, details the holistic aspects of medicine, emphasizing the integrative approach involving lifestyle, mental health, exercise, and the psychological dimensions of heart health. Dr. Rozanski reveals the six domains of optimal health and vitality, sharing insights from his pioneering work in integrating such approaches into cardiology, the significant impact of stress, and the importance of maintaining a sense of life purpose and social connections. He also delves into modern imaging techniques, the utility of coronary artery calcium scores, and emerging treatments like GLP-1 drugs for cardiovascular health. The conversation provides a thorough exploration of comprehensive health management strategies beyond just medication and surgery.

My guest is Dr. David Fajgenbaum, MD, professor of translational medicine and human genetics at the University of Pennsylvania. He explains how, unbeknownst to most doctors, many approved medications can successfully treat or even cure diseases other than the ones they are typically used to treat. He shares his story of escaping death from Castleman's disease by discovering a life-saving treatment using repurposed drugs that were approved for other purposes. Our conversation explores how researchers, physicians, and you—the general public—can explore novel treatments and cures to conditions the medical profession has deemed untreatable, including cancers. We also discuss the crucial role of mindset in battling diseases and the lesser-known use of compounds to promote health and longevity. Read the episode show notes at hubermanlab.com.

Heart disease is still our number one killer, even though 50 million Americans have been prescribed a cholesterol-lowering statin. Cardiologists pay a lot of attention to cholesterol in all its variety: total cholesterol, LDL, HDL, VLDL. Even blood fats like triglycerides and lipoprotein a [Lp(a)] are getting some attention. What else do you need to […]

Modern joint pain isn't just wear and tear—it's a systemic, metabolic disease that starts years before symptoms show. In this episode, you'll learn how inflammation, mitochondria dysfunction, and immune imbalance trigger cartilage loss… and how to reverse it using targeted cytokine modulation, cellular regeneration, and smarter supplements for longevity and human performance. Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey sits down with Kiran Krishnan, a research microbiologist and Chief Scientific Officer at Calroy Health Sciences. He's the founder of Microbiome Labs—one of the most trusted microbiome-focused brands in functional medicine—and a formulator behind cutting-edge supplements like Arterosil and Vascanox. With over two decades of experience, Kiran has launched multiple health ventures, authored scientific textbook chapters, published clinical trials, and holds global patents in human health. He's a leading authority on systemic inflammation, mitochondrial dysfunction, and gut-driven disease—and one of the few voices making complex biology accessible for real-world results. He breaks down their new supplement Cartigenix HP, and how cytokines like IL-6 and TNF-alpha flip your cartilage cells from anabolic repair to catabolic destruction, how mitochondrial decline speeds up joint damage, and why most modern painkillers make your joints worse. You'll learn how a specialized blend of boswellia and celery seed reprograms inflammation, why walking beats medication in clinical trials, and how fasting, nitric oxide, and gut health work together to optimize joint regeneration. You'll learn: • How cartilage cells (chondrocytes) rely on mitochondria for tissue repair • Why global cytokines like IL-6 and TNF-alpha drive joint degradation and brain fog • How cartilage begins to break down in your teens—and what to do about it now • The surprising clinical data on walking distance, inflammation markers, and recovery • Why most supplements and NSAIDs fail—and what actually rebuilds joints • How diet and leaky gut create 5-day inflammation spikes from a single fast-food meal • The mitochondrial link between joint pain, cardiovascular risk, and depression • Why perimenopausal women are at 10x higher risk for arthritis—and how to prevent it • How to track your biological joint age using imaging and systemic inflammation labs This is essential listening for anyone serious about biohacking, functional medicine, pain-free aging, and human performance. Whether you're lifting heavy, walking daily, or just trying to stay mobile into old age, this episode gives you the science and tools to reverse joint degeneration and extend your healthspan. Dave Asprey is a four-time New York Times bestselling author, founder of Bulletproof Coffee, and the father of biohacking. With over 1,000 interviews and 1 million monthly listeners, The Human Upgrade brings you the knowledge to take control of your biology, extend your longevity, and optimize every system in your body and mind. Each episode delivers cutting-edge insights in health, performance, neuroscience, supplements, nutrition, biohacking, emotional intelligence, and conscious living. New episodes are released every Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and Sunday (BONUS). Dave asks the questions no one else will and gives you real tools to become stronger, smarter, and more resilient.
