From the viral moment on The Traitors to the biology of the "silent but deadly," this episode is an unashamed deep dive into flatulence. Drs Siobhan and Sheena are joined by Julie Thompson, Lead Dietitian at Guts UK Charity, to break the stigma around passing wind. We discuss what normal gas looks like, why fiber makes us farty (and why that's a good thing!), and the truth about the Low FODMAP diet for IBS sufferers.

And do charcoal underpants actually work?Featured Guest:Julie Thompson is a Gastroenterology Specialist Dietitian with over 16 years of experience supporting people with digestive diseases.

Childhood obesity management has evolved far beyond the traditional advice of "eat healthier and move more." Today's clinical toolbox includes GLP-1 medications, behavioral health interventions, multidisciplinary lifestyle programs and bariatric surgery. These evidence-based tools can be complex, nuanced, and sometimes controversial, but they share a common goal: supporting young people in achieving healthier lives. In this episode, we explore how modern treatment strategies come together to meet the needs of individual patients and families. Our guests discuss when and how to use these tools, the importance of coordinated care and what pediatricians should consider as this field continues to rapidly expand. Jonathan Hills-Dunlap, MD, is the Director of Robotics Surgery as well as the Surgical Director of the Bariatric Surgery Program at Children's Colorado. Megan Kelsey is the Medical Director of both Lifestyle Medicine and the Adolescent Bariatric Surgery Program. Both are on faculty at the University of Colorado School of Medicine. Some highlights from this episode include: The steps for being a bariatric surgery candidate How to best support obese patients and their journeys  Why a multidisciplinary approach is necessary For more information on Children's Colorado, visit: childrenscolorado.org.

In Episode 237, in conversation with Dr. Gillian Lockitch, Scott Fulton reframes "successful aging" as more years, more moments, more money. He unpacks his MEDAC model—Mind, Environment, Diet, Activity, Community—and shows how small, practical tweaks compound: design homes for longevity, manage toxin exposure sensibly, eat for quality/variety/fiber, move all day (not just "exercise"), train balance, and build supportive community. They also explore simple ways to measure what matters and why stepping outside your comfort zone is a powerful aging tool. Scott Fulton is a longevity educator and positive-aging innovator whose work sits at the intersection of health and housing. He teaches adult learners about healthspan and aging (Northwestern, UVA, University of Delaware), created the MEDAC system (Mind, Environment, Diet, Activity, Community), is a member of the American College of Lifestyle Medicine and the True Health Initiative Council, and served as President of the National Aging in Place Council. He and his wife live in Charlottesville, VA, in a demonstration home designed for optimal aging.   Timeline: 00:00 – 03:20 | Why "Wealthspan" now Gillian's introduction: aging is inevitable, poor health isn't. Scott's thesis: extend health, life, and financial security—so you can collect more meaningful moments.  03:21 – 09:58 | Designing a home that ages with you One-step entries, wider doors, "free-flow" layouts, smart use of terrain. Beauty + function beats "clinical" design and prevents future injuries/barriers.  09:59 – 18:13 | From big systems to positive aging, Scott's career pivot: apply systems thinking to aging. Against siloed care; for measurable, holistic balance (homeostasis) and innovation that actually changes outcomes.  18:14 – 26:59 | MEDAC: Mind & Environment Stay curious; protect cognition. Shape two environments: your home and your exposures. You can't avoid toxins entirely—reduce risk and diversify behaviors.  27:00 – 31:53 | MEDAC: Diet & Activity Start with quality, add variety, and count fiber. Activity ≠ just workouts: build cardio, strength, balance, and move through the day to fight sedentariness.  31:54 – 40:52 | MEDAC: Community + Resilience & the "one bold thing" rule Social connection protects brain and practical living.

Michael J. Wilkinson, M.D., F.A.C.C., F.N.L.A., explains how aligning when we eat, sleep, and move with our body's natural circadian rhythms can profoundly affect metabolic health. Drawing on research from UC San Diego and the Salk Institute, he explores how disruptions in daily patterns—late-night eating, less movement, artificial light—contribute to obesity, diabetes, and fatty liver disease. Wilkinson shows why *when* we eat may be as important as *what* or *how much* we eat, and how time-restricted eating offers a practical, biology-based strategy for preventing cardiometabolic disease and promoting healthy aging.

Longevity, Lifestyle Medicine & the Next Evolution of Physical Therapy In this episode, Doc Danny Matta explores the growing trend of longevity and lifestyle medicine in physical therapy. From proactive health to performance-based rehab, he explains why the best clinics of the future will focus less on pain treatment and more on helping people live long, high-performing, pain-free lives. Quick Ask If this episode fires you up about the future of physical therapy, share it with another clinician who's ready to break free from the traditional model—and tag @dannymattaPT so he can reshare! Let's help more PTs step into their true potential as leaders in longevity and performance. Episode Summary The longevity shift: More people aged 30–60 are embracing proactive, lifestyle-based health—and they're looking for experts who can guide them. The rise of lifestyle medicine: Functional medicine, med spas, and peptide clinics are exploding, but performance-based PTs can lead this movement with evidence-based care. From reactive to proactive: Patients no longer want to wait until they're in pain; they want to prevent issues and stay active for life. PTs as health quarterbacks: With trust, clinical skill, and holistic understanding, physical therapists can lead the proactive health space. Longevity as opportunity: Building proactive, continuity-based patient relationships benefits the client, the clinician, and the business. Lessons & Takeaways People are seeking change: The public is more aware of health, wellness, and long-term vitality than ever before. Start the conversation early: Set longevity goals with patients during their first visit, not after discharge. Trust is currency: Use your expertise to filter out misinformation and guide patients through the noise. Be proactive, not reactive: Create continuity plans so patients come in to avoid problems, not just fix them. Health is compounding: Small daily changes, reinforced over time, create generational shifts in family health and behavior. Mindset & Motivation Imagine if... You're 60, running your best marathon, playing with your grandkids, and doing it pain-free. Positive framing wins: Inspire patients with what's possible, not fear of what could go wrong. Be the outlier: Longevity isn't luck—it's built through consistent, proactive choices over decades. Lead by example: Your own habits will influence patients and your community more than anything you say. Pro Tips for Clinicians Develop longevity programs: Build memberships or continuity models that focus on performance and proactive care. Educate your team: Make sure every provider knows how to discuss long-term health, not just pain management. Market the lifestyle shift: Use "high performance, pain-free living" as a message that resonates with the modern patient. Invest in business skills: Great care means nothing if your systems can't sustain it—learn marketing, sales, and finance. Notable Quotes "We help people live high-performance, pain-free lives for as long as they want to." "The performance-based PT is the quarterback of proactive health." "Don't undervalue your ability to change lives—people are searching for what we offer." "Imagine if you were the 60-year-old still chasing PRs and playing with your grandkids." Action Items Start proactive conversations with patients in their first session. Develop long-term membership or continuity plans for performance and wellness. Learn to filter misinformation and guide patients toward trustworthy resources. Encourage goal setting around longevity, not just pain relief.

Mike Peterson sits down with Christopher Wedick to map out the Reclaiming Health and Longevity Symposium in San Salvador, a two-day meet-up where decentralized health meets decentralized wealth.

Kwame Terra is on a mission to make movement a cultural norm and health an accessible part of everyday life. Through his community-based bEHR Health platform, the New Orleans athlete is reimagining wellness through walking, technology, and social connection. His mission: to make healthy choices desirable, accessible, and part of daily life, particularly within Black communities that have long faced systemic health gaps.Terra promotes walking as a low-cost, high-impact path to improved longevity and reduced health disparities. He's developed tools such as personal health scores and participation challenges that turn physical activity into an engaging, collective experience. Earlier this year, he walked more than two million steps in 30 days - a record-breaking endurance feat that underscored his message that modest, consistent movement can transform health outcomes. Now, with the launch of the bEHR Health app, he aims to deliver real-time health feedback and community-driven challenges directly to users' hands - turning wellness into a shared, sustainable habit.In this conversation with Peter Bowes, Terra discusses the role of culture, environment, and feedback in shaping lasting habits - and why small steps, taken together, can help close health gaps and extend healthspan.Related:  Check out our 20-part series, Move for Life-----This podcast is supported by affiliate arrangements with a select number of companies.

In this episode, we explore what happens when clinicians look beyond the prescription pad and begin listening more deeply to what their patients have lost. This isn't a conversation about rejecting medications but about expanding the tools we use to foster healing. We discuss the concept of disenfranchised grief—the often-unspoken losses that accompany chronic illness—the intricate links between depression and inflammation, and the transformative power of helping patients heal in ways that no pill alone can achieve.

“I've done everything right… so why do I still hurt?” If that question feels familiar, this episode is for you. We're joined by Dr. Sassy Weinstein, an osteopathic physician, sports medicine expert, and board-certified lifestyle medicine doc who has helped thousands of patients finally heal — not by doing more, but by seeing the body as a whole system. In this conversation, we unpack:  •Why pain often isn't coming from where it hurts  •The #1 mistake smart, proactive people make when trying to feel better  •How stress, sleep, movement patterns, and shoes (!!) could be part of the problem  •Real stories of patients who tried everything… until they didn't have to This isn't about more restriction or another wellness rule. It's about reclaiming your body's wisdom and getting back to what matters — with joy, clarity, and sustainable relief. ⸻ ✨ Dr. Sassy Weinstein's Work:

Remember when you could power through the day without crashing? You can feel that way again!

When cancer treatment ends, the world expects celebration. The bell is rung, and everyone around breathes a sigh of relief. But for many survivors, that moment marks not an ending, but a new, confusing beginning. The medical team steps back, the appointments stop, and a quiet question creeps in: now what? Survivorship is more than the absence of disease. It's the long, often lonely process of learning how to live again, in a body, mind, and identity forever changed. Fatigue lingers. Treatment dulls memory and focus. Sleep becomes elusive. And beneath it all is the fear: what if it comes back? But what if recovery after cancer isn't just about waiting for the next scan; it's about reclaiming control? Through lifestyle medicine, survivors can begin to rebuild their strength, calm their nervous system, and lower their risk of recurrence. What measures are important for the survivor phase of cancer care? Why is connection and community so important? In this episode, the Medical Director of the Mass General Cancer Center in Waltham, Dr. Amy Comander, returns. The pioneer in lifestyle medicine for survivorship joins us to share what true recovery looks like. She shares insights from her groundbreaking Paving the Path to Wellness program, and we talk about how to have a healthy life after the end of cancer treatment. Things You'll Learn In This Episode -Survivorship isn't just surviving Finishing treatment is only the beginning of recovery. How do survivors move from merely existing to truly thriving? -Movement as medicine Exercise doesn't just build strength; it improves outcomes and lowers recurrence risk. What type of movement makes the biggest impact after cancer? -Food over fear The right diet can reduce inflammation, support immunity, and ease anxiety about recurrence. What does the research actually say about the best foods for survivors, and which supplements to avoid? -The overlooked healing power of connection Support groups and social bonds can dramatically improve the quality of life and survival. Why is community one of the most potent yet underused forms of medicine? Guest Bio Dr. Amy Comander specializes in the care of women with breast cancer. Dr. Comander is Medical Director of the Mass General Cancer Center in Waltham, where she also serves as Director of Breast Oncology and Cancer Survivorship at the Mass General Cancer Center in Waltham and at Newton Wellesley Hospital.
