Muscle has quickly become one of the most talked-about topics in health and longevity, with many claiming that building more muscle is the single greatest predictor of a long life. But is that actually true? On today's episode, I break down the science behind muscle, strength, and lifespan, and explain why more muscle does not automatically equal better health or longer life. I also explain what truly predicts longevity, such as mitochondrial health, nervous system balance, inflammation control, and recovery capacity, and how to find the personal sweet spot that supports long-term vitality.

Episode Description You trust that expensive fish oil is molecularly distilled and free from mercury. You believe your magnesium is actually absorbed. You assume your creatine is pure pharmaceutical-grade powder. But can these brands prove it—or are you swallowing contaminated, oxidized, low-potency supplements that do more harm than good? Dr. Christian Gonzalez investigated the supplement industry with one critical question: can the most popular longevity supplements prove they're free from heavy metals, microplastics, and oxidation through third-party testing and Certificates of Analysis (COAs)? The shocking reality? Most can't—or won't—provide basic proof of purity. You're expected to trust your mitochondria, brain health, and long-term performance to manufacturers who refuse transparency about what's actually in the bottle. The hidden dangers lurking in "premium" supplements: • Fish oils contaminated with mercury, lead, microplastics, and oxidized rancid fats that trigger inflammation instead of reducing it • Magnesium oxide marketed as "magnesium" with 4% absorption—meaning you're literally flushing your money down the toilet • Creatine cut with heavy metals, banned substances, and fillers that negate performance benefits and contaminate your system • Vitamin D formulated in seed oils and synthetic carriers that interfere with absorption and create inflammatory byproducts • Fiber supplements loaded with inulin blends and maltodextrin that spike blood sugar and cause severe digestive distress • Zero verification of potency claims—dosages listed on labels that have no relationship to what third-party testing reveals inside • Supplements stored in conditions that degrade active ingredients months before expiration dates In this episode, Dr. Christian Gonzalez reveals: • The 5 most studied supplements for longevity, brain power, and energy—and exactly how to buy the cleanest versions • Why Omega-3 fish oils are either your greatest longevity tool or a toxic inflammatory bomb depending on purity testing • The one form of magnesium that actually works (and the three forms that are complete scams stealing your money) • How creatine monohydrate boosts ATP in your muscles AND brain—but only if it passes strict third-party certification • Why Vitamin D without K2 can calcify your arteries while you think you're "optimizing" your health • The soluble fiber that lowers all-cause mortality by 11%—and why most fiber supplements use the wrong type • Exact evidence-based doses, timing strategies, and quality markers so you never waste money on fairy dust formulas again • The certifications that actually matter: IFOS, NSF, Informed Sport, Creapure, and why "GMP certified" means nothing • How to read COAs and spot red flags in oxidation scores, heavy metal panels, and microplastic screening This episode goes beyond basic supplementation—it's about understanding that your cellular membranes, mitochondrial function, and long-term disease prevention depend on purity, not marketing. It's about demanding proof before putting daily supplements into your body, and recognizing that the supplement industry profits from your trust, not your health outcomes. The supplement industry doesn't want you asking for COAs. But your brain, heart, and longevity depend on it.

#191 - Home for the Holidays with Dr. Gina Kupchella: The Best Of Functional Medicine, Legacy, and What Actually Heals This episode is a little different — softer, deeper, and honestly one of my favorites. I'm sitting down fireside-style with my dear friend Dr. Gina Kupchella, the physician I passed the baton to at Integrative Wellness Center. It's the day before Christmas, the coffee is hot, and the conversation goes far beyond protocols and lab markers. We talk about how functional medicine really works when it's done well, why so many people are frustrated by cookie-cutter care (even in the functional medicine world), and what happens when you finally slow down enough to treat the whole human — not just the diagnosis. This is a conversation about legacy, trust, root-cause healing, and why doing medicine differently isn't trendy — it's necessary. We cover gut health, inflammation, anti-aging, hormones, longevity, wearables, sleep, and the quiet magic that happens when a practitioner has time to actually listen. If you've ever felt stuck in a cycle of appointments, protocols, and next steps that never quite lead to real change — or if you're curious what functional medicine looks like when it's practiced with integrity, evidence, and heart — this one will land. In This Episode, We Talk About: 00:02 — How Gina and I first met (and why the timing still gives us chills) 00:07 — What surprised Gina most about stepping into a functional medicine practice 00:12 — The biggest myths about functional medicine — and why they persist 00:18 — Foundational labs vs. advanced testing: where to actually start 00:25 — Gut health, inflammation, and why diet is the most underrated anti-aging tool 00:33 — Longevity buzzwords vs. what truly works (peptides, hormones, and the basics) 00:40 — Bioidentical hormones, women's health, and reclaiming quality of life midlife 00:46 — Sleep, wearables, and why your body needs deeper rest than you think 00:52 — Legacy, calling, and why this has to be the future of medicine Why This Conversation Matters This isn't about doing more. It's about doing what actually helps. Functional medicine isn't anti-conventional — it's completing the picture. It's asking better questions, spending real time, and understanding that healing isn't linear, fast, or one-size-fits-all. And maybe most importantly, it's a reminder that medicine practiced with curiosity, humility, and joy doesn't just change outcomes — it changes lives.

Dr. Jeffrey Bland, founder and president of the Personalized Lifestyle Medicine Institute and Big Bold Health, discusses his significant influence on functional medicine and offers a deep dive into the history and benefits of fish oil, including its impact on cardiovascular health, inflammation, and immune system resilience. Dr. Bland elaborates on the necessity of balanced Omega-3 fatty acids, particularly EPA and DHA, and the unique benefits of cold-processed fish oils that retain natural nutrients. The conversation also touches on Big Bold Health's innovative approach to health through products like Omega-3 Rejuvenate and Himalayan Tartary Buckwheat, highlighting their roles in promoting immune health. The episode underscores the importance of sustainability and the dedication of farmers and fishermen in producing high-quality, health-supportive products.
If you have been feeling inflamed, fatigued, overly stressed, or unsure why your body is not responding the way it used to, this episode will help you understand what your physiology is trying to communicate. In today's episode, I sat down with Dr. Ara Suppiah, a functional sports medicine physician who makes complex biomarker data feel simple, practical, and grounded. We explore why health is shaped by patterns and trends rather than isolated numbers and how markers like the Omega-3 index, hs-CRP, cortisol, and the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio reveal what is happening beneath the surface. We also discuss oral health as an early inflammation signal, the connection between movement and longevity, and the small daily habits that strengthen resilience. Dr. Ara Suppiah is a functional sports medicine physician known for translating complex physiology into guidance people can apply right away. What's Discussed: (00:00) Why your labs look “normal” even when your body doesn't (04:18) The biomarkers that quietly predict resilience or burnout (09:52) What Omega-3, hs-CRP, and NLR reveal about hidden stress (15:10) How your gums expose inflammation before symptoms begin (21:44) The link between movement, recovery, and long-term vitality (28:30) What natural movement teaches us about microbiome health (36:12) How overtraining disrupts hormones and drains energy (42:58) When tools and medications support longevity goals (51:05) How to build a physiology that ages slowly and feels grounded Thank You to Our Sponsors: IM8: I'm always searching for wellness that's simple, effective, and rooted in science.

We talk about the essential role of strength training—even low and moderate intensity—on bone density, metabolism, mobility, and long-term independence. Dr. Wittstein explains why cardiovascular activity remains a cornerstone of longevity, how balance and agility work protect us from falls, and the ways physical therapy can help us train smarter, especially if we're dealing with arthritis, past injuries, or knee pain. We also get into the benefits of creatine supplementation, the importance of dietary protein for maintaining muscle mass, why walking remains one of the most underrated tools for reducing fall risk, and how impact exercises can specifically strengthen hip bone density. If you're preparing for your next decade—or helping someone you love stay strong—this episode is a clear, doable roadmap to aging with strength, confidence, and mobility. Takeaways Minimize barriers to entry for strength training—simplicity builds consistency. Low and moderate intensity strength work is still powerful and protective.

Dr. Valter Longo is the Edna M. Jones Professor of Gerontology and Biological Sciences and Director of the Longevity Institute at the USC Leonard Davis School of Gerontology, a leading center for aging and disease research. Trained in biochemistry at the University of North Texas and UCLA, with postdoctoral work under longevity pioneers Roy Walford and Caleb Finch, Dr. Longo has built a multidisciplinary research career spanning genetics, immunology, endocrinology, and molecular biology. His laboratory has identified key genetic pathways that regulate aging and demonstrated how targeting these pathways can reduce disease risk and progression in both animal models and humans, including novel dietary and genetic strategies that protect healthy cells while making cancer cells more vulnerable to treatment. Dr. Longo is widely known for developing the fasting mimicking diet, a five-day periodic dietary intervention shown in randomized clinical trials to reduce markers associated with aging and chronic disease, while promoting stem cell–based regeneration and longevity.

They wanted help integrating peptides into their membership program, and in return they invited me to actually go through their diagnostics as a member so I could experience the process firsthand. I went to their Orlando, Florida facility and did what would normally take seven or eight different doctor visits and specialists… all in one place, in one morning.The first part of this episode is a behind-the-scenes walkthrough of my Day 1 testing, including imaging and data collection that gives you a real baseline to work from. If you're listening to audio-only, I highly recommend watching the video for that segment because it's very visual. The second part is the main event: a long-form conversation with Fountain Life's medical director and CEO, Dr. Bill Cap.In the podcast, we go deep on the real history of peptides, why so much foundational work came out of places like Russia, and why the U.S. is only now starting to catch up. We talk about what's hype, what's timeless, and what actually moves the needle when it comes to longevity and performance. We also get into where peptides are headed next, because as we roll into 2026, the peptide landscape may look a little different than what people have gotten used to over the last few years.We cover a ton of ground: GLP-1s as a legitimate longevity tool when used intelligently, growth hormone peptide strategies and why cycling matters, mitochondrial peptides like SS-31 and MOTS-c, and why “baseline first” is the missing piece for most people who jump into supplements, peptides, and biohacking without understanding what's going on under the hood.This isn't a paid advertisement. I'm documenting what I'm going through, what my results show, and how I'm thinking about using peptides and other interventions based on real data instead of guesswork. If you've ever wanted to see what “precision prevention” actually looks like in the real world, this episode is a great place to start.

In this energizing episode of the Self-Care Goddess Podcast, we explore strength, nutrition, metabolism, and longevity with Dr. Derek Alessi, fitness and nutrition expert with nearly 30 years of experience helping adults over 40 lose fat, build strength, and reclaim vibrant health.Dr. Derek shares his powerful personal journey, including losing over 80 pounds in his early twenties, and how that transformation shaped his mission to help people improve their health using sustainable, science-backed strategies rather than extreme diets or fitness fads.This conversation is a deep dive into how nutrition, strength training, mindset, and self-care work together to support energy, hormone balance, fat loss, and long-term wellbeing as we age.✨ Here's what you'll learn in this empowering episode:✅ Why nutrition and exercise are not interchangeable and how each uniquely supports health and metabolism✅ The importance of stabilizing blood sugar and insulin for fat loss, energy, and longevity✅ How muscle loss with age slows metabolism and why strength training is non-negotiable after 40✅ Why protein is “first importance” for the body and how it supports muscles, organs, hormones, and the brain✅ Animal protein vs plant-based protein and why complete amino acids matter✅ How continuous glucose monitors can personalize nutrition and reveal hidden blood sugar spikes✅ Common fat-loss misconceptions in midlife, especially for women✅ Why extreme diets like keto or carnivore are often unsustainable for most people✅ The role of dietary fat in hormone health and brain function✅ How and when to strength train for fat loss, metabolism, and joint health✅ The benefits and risks of HIIT training as we age✅ How fasting can improve insulin sensitivity and reduce stress eating for some individuals✅ Why mindset is the foundation of sustainable health and self-careA Powerful Reminder from Dr. Derek:“You must believe you are worth improving. If the mindset isn't there, the strategy won't last.”Connect with Dr. Derek AlessiWebsite & Resources: https://strengthgenesis.com/Instagram: @alessifitnessLinkedIn: Derek AlessiFree eBooks, recipes, programs, and educational tools available on his siteConnect with Me (Rita)Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/ritasavoia_/?hl=enFacebook | https://www.facebook.com/savoia1X | https://x.com/rsavoia?lang=enLinkedIn | https://www.linkedin.com/in/ritasavoia/?originalSubdomain=ca
We are living through the steepest decline in health ever recorded — and the numbers are impossible to ignore. • Chronic inflammation now impacts 3 in 5 adults • Autoimmune diseases have tripled • Anxiety, depression, and burnout are hitting people younger every year • Hormonal and metabolic disorders now appear 10–15 years earlier than past generations Yet the healthcare system is still built to treat symptoms, not repair the body. In this forward-thinking episode of Uncover Your Eyes with Dr. Meenal Agarwal, we explore one of today's most exciting areas in healthcare innovations: peptides and bioregulator peptides — emerging tools that may hold the key to better longevity, mental health, physical health, and overall wellness. Dr. Meenal sits down with Nathalie Niddam, Longevity Educator and leading voice in peptide science, for one of the most practical, eye-opening conversations of the year. Together, they break down what peptides actually are, how they work, and how they may help the body restore itself at a cellular level.
Legendary Life | Transform Your Body, Upgrade Your Health & Live Your Best Life
What if you could lose 20 or even 30 pounds—and still be marching straight toward diabetes, fatty liver disease, or early heart disease? In Part 1 of this New Year Series, Ted reframed the entire conversation around aging by explaining why longevity isn't about living longer, but about extending healthspan—the years you remain strong, mobile, mentally sharp, and independent. >>> Click here for part 1 In Part, he tackles one of the most dangerous misconceptions in modern health: the belief that weight loss automatically equals health. In an era of GLP-1 medications, more people are losing weight than ever—but metabolic disease continues to rise. Ted explains why this disconnect exists and why weight loss is only the lowest bar of health, not the finish line. He also breaks down what metabolic health actually means and explains the critical role of muscle, cardiovascular fitness, blood sugar control, and lifestyle habits in determining how you feel today and how you'll age tomorrow. If you've ever assumed that losing weight was enough, this discussion will challenge that belief—and show you what needs to come next. You'll learn: Why weight loss alone does not guarantee metabolic health How obesity rates can fall while diabetes and fatty liver disease rise What metabolic health really means—and why only a small percentage of adults have it Where GLP-1 medications fit—and where they fall short Why healthspan—not lifespan—should be the real goal after 40 What Ted discusses in this episode: (00:00) Introduction (02:19) The Reality of Metabolic Health (03:51) Understanding Metabolic Health and Its Importance (16:16) The Role of GLP-1 Medications (21:05) The Importance of Muscle and Preventing Muscle Loss (23:19) Weight Regain and Long-Term Health (25:48) Conclusion: Building Real Health Beyond Weight Loss
Legendary Life | Transform Your Body, Upgrade Your Health & Live Your Best Life
Most people don't actually want to live to 90 or 100. Not because they don't love life—but because they're afraid of what those extra years might look like. Loss of independence. Chronic pain. Medications. Watching their world slowly shrink. When people say, "I don't want to live that long," what they're really saying is, "I don't want to live like that." In the first episode of this new Year series, Ted reframes the entire conversation around aging. Instead of asking how long you'll live, he asks a more important question: How well will you live? Ted talks about healthspan—the years you remain strong, mobile, mentally sharp, and independent—and explains why it matters far more than lifespan alone. He also breaks down why so much age-related decline is driven by lifestyle, not genetics, why modern healthcare focuses on crisis instead of prevention, and which core pillars actually determine how you age. If you want 2026 to be the year you stop fearing the future and start building a body—and a life—that lasts, this is where the conversation begins. Listen now! You'll learn: How metabolic dysfunction silently accelerates aging The role of muscle, strength, and power in maintaining independence Why cardiovascular fitness and VO₂ max are strong predictors of longevity How visceral fat drives inflammation and chronic disease Why weight loss alone doesn't fix metabolic health What Ted discusses in this episode: (00:00) Introduction (02:00) The Reality of Aging and Healthcare (04:38) The Longevity Masterclass: Healthspan vs. Lifespan (14:32) The Importance of Metabolic Health (17:12) Muscle Strength and Power: Your Aging Insurance Policy (18:36) Heart Aging and VO2 Max (19:50) Brain Aging and Lifestyle Factors (21:45) Series Overview and Conclusion
In this episode of the Optimal Body Podcast, Dr. Jen and Dr. Dom, both Doctors of Physical Therapy, discuss the best exercises for strength and growth of the glutes, focusing on recent research comparing EMG muscle activation with actual peak muscle force. They explain why force production is more relevant than EMG for building glute strength and highlight the top exercises for targeting the glutes (gluteus maximus and gluteus medius). The hosts emphasize tailoring exercise selection to individual needs and goals, and share practical tips for both training and rehabilitation from injury of the glutes, including their Jen Health hip program for improving glute mobility and strength. The practical considerations can be so vital for rehabilitation from injuries including knee pain and low back pain.VivoBarefoot Discount:Support your feet and ankles with VivoBarefoot shoes—with perfect styles for any occasion!

What if the hormone you've been ignoring your entire life… is the one that could save it?In this electrifying episode of The Crackin Backs Podcast we welcome back hormone-game-changer Dr. Devaki Lindsey Berkson — a global thought-leader whose career spans nearly four decades of clinical breakthroughs in hormones, nutrition and gut-health.Known for calling Oxytocin “the most misunderstood hormone in modern medicine” — not just the so-called “love hormone,” but a whole-body regulator — Dr. Berkson pulls back the curtain on how oxytocin might be the missing link behind loneliness, inflammation, hormone decline, disconnection, anxiety, burnout, mood disorders, trauma, menopause, male aging, intimacy and longevity.Why have we excluded oxytocin from the women's health conversation (menopause, pelvic floor, estrogen/progesterone interplay)? What does the science actually reveal about oxytocin's power to rewire the brain, heal trauma, support male cardiovascular health, and rewrite the aging script? Dr. Berkson explains it all — with the kind of clinical depth and personal insight that only comes from someone who has lived the story as both doctor and patient.If you're ready to challenge everything you've been told about hormones and discover the regulatory molecule that may hold the key to emotional connection, physical resilience, and the longer, better life you deserve — you cannot skip this episode.

Fashion Week may spotlight bold heels, sculpted silhouettes, and statement accessories—but once the runway lights fade, a deeper question remains: what are these trends doing to our bodies? Dr. Sherry McAllister, president of the Foundation for Chiropractic Progress and author of Adjusted Reality: Supercharge Your Whole-Being for Optimal Living and Longevity, brings more than 25 years of clinical expertise to the conversation. After attending Fashion Week this year, Dr. McAllister shares eye-opening insights on how fashion choices—on the runway and in everyday life—affect posture, spinal alignment, breathing, and long-term health. From how high heels can dramatically increase spinal load, to the hidden strain caused by handbags and tight clothing, she explains how small, intentional adjustments can help anyone move with greater ease, confidence, and longevity. Blending real-world observations from conversations with New Yorkers during Fashion Week with practical, science-backed guidance, Dr. McAllister offers a fresh perspective at the intersection of style, whole-being health, and presence—proving that looking good doesn't have to come at the cost of feeling good.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/i-am-refocused-radio--2671113/support.Subscribe now at YouTube.com/@RefocusedNetworkThank you for your time.
Sometimes the perfect words show up when you need them most. We start with a surprisingly powerful bit of holiday inspiration from Mr. Rogers — a reminder of kindness and humanity that still resonates today. Source: The World According to Mr. Rogers (https://amzn.to/3RKWfzC) Science is completely rethinking what it means to grow old. It's not just about adding years — it's about adding healthy years. And while diet and exercise play their part, researchers are uncovering far more advanced ways to slow aging at a cellular level. Some of the most intriguing experiments can literally make worms appear younger, think better, and live twice as long. Coleen Murphy, professor at Princeton University and Director of Princeton's Glenn Foundation for Research on Aging, explains where longevity science is heading and what it may one day mean for us. She is author of How We Age: The Science of Longevity (https://amzn.to/3GKDKF5). Most of us have avoided doing something — trying out, speaking up, taking a shot — because we feared what other people might think. That fear is powerful, and it holds people back in ways we rarely acknowledge. High-performance psychologist Michael Gervais joins me to explain why this fear is so universal, how it shapes everyday decisions, and what we can do to break free from it. He is host of the Finding Mastery podcast (https://findingmastery.com/podcasts/) and author of The First Rule of Mastery: Stop Worrying about What People Think of You. (https://amzn.to/3RtsDoW). With the new year approaching, many people start thinking about career moves.

Today, it's just me, and we're doing things a little differently on the Longevity Podcast. With the intensity of the holiday season winding down, I wanted to take a step back from the usual deep-dives and high-tech hacks to focus on something fundamental—free, practical strategies to help you manage stress.
