The Mindful Healers Podcast with Dr. Jessie Mahoney and Dr. Ni-Cheng Liang
What happens when physician partners step away and make space to slow down together? In this episode, we explore how rest, reflection, and shared experience can help us reconnect with ourselves, our relationships, and the deeper reasons we practice medicine. Drs. Angela Wong and Doug Conrad share their experience of coming to The Connect in Nature Mindfulness Retreat at Green Gulch Farm and Zen Center together as a physician couple. They reflect on what it was like to step away from the daily pace of medicine for a few days to reconnect—with themselves, with each other, and with what matters most. They talk about perfectionism in medicine, the hidden cost of constant productivity, and how slowing down can restore perspective, compassion, and connection. This conversation is a reminder that a pause for self-care is not indulgent. It is one way we reclaim agency in medicine and remember who we are beyond the roles we carry. If this conversation resonates, we would love to welcome you to future retreats where we explore rest, mindfulness, and connection in community with other physicians. The next Connect in Nature Mindfulness Retreat is July 30-August 1, 2026 Listen to learn about: Why slowing down can help you reconnect with yourself and your partners How perfectionism can quietly shape life and work in medicine What happens when you allow yourself to receive care Why shared experiences outside medicine can strengthen physician relationships How rest, movement, breath, and nourishment can influence how you care for patients Pearls of Wisdom: Shared experiences outside the clinical environment can strengthen physician partnerships and help us see one another as people, not just colleagues in a busy life. Slowing down is not indulgent. It creates the space needed to reconnect with ourselves, our partners, and the deeper reasons we practice medicine. Perfectionism often masquerades as professionalism in medicine. Letting go of that inner judge can restore both well-being and relationships. The practices we experience personally—mindful movement, nourishment, rest, and breath—often become the most authentic tools we bring to patient care. Reflection Questions: What might shift if you intentionally created time to slow down with a partner or loved one? Where in our lives might you be moving so quickly that you have stopped noticing how you actually feel? How might releasing the need for perfection allow more compassion toward yourself and others? What small daily practice could help you reconnect with your breath, body, and sense of agency?

What a powerful conversation. Dr. John Bukowski reminds us that reinvention doesn't require permission — it requires courage. From public health and veterinary medicine to writing psychological thrillers like Project Suicide and Checkout Time, his journey proves that it's never too late to pivot, pursue passion, and build something new. Science gave him structure. Storytelling gave him voice. And both require discipline. If this episode challenged you to rethink your own path — share it with someone who needs that reminder.

The result: a complete transformation in his health. Jordan went on to become the author of more than thirty books and founder of multiple natural health companies. In this conversation, he shares insights from his newest book, The Biblio Diet, which explores how biblical-era food practices align with modern research on metabolism, inflammation, and the microbiome.

Dr. Tesha Monteith and Dr. Patricia Pozo-Rosich discuss the latest advancements in headache medicine, focusing on key research findings from 2025. Show transcript: Dr. Tesha Monteith: Hi, this is Tesha Monteith with the Neurology Minute. Welcome to our 2026 Headache Medicine Series. I've just been speaking with Patricia Pozo-Rosich about all of the exciting advances in headache medicine in 2025. For a minute, why don't you summarize some of the key advances in headache medicine research? Dr. Patricia Pozo-Rosich: I think that we have good news in headache. We are currently phase two trials for two or three different compounds, anti-part two, packup and new toxins. So we are actually, I think, excited to find out the phase 2B trial results and phase three. So well, that's something that I think is worth mentioning. Then I think it is important to remember that we have new data coming from real world evidence with long-term use of anti CGRP therapies. We also have data that shows that anti CGRP therapies are useful for patients with migraine and major depressive disorder, as well as as children. Finally, I think that it is very important to remind everyone that there are new papers on practice recommendations around the world on how we have to treat our patients with migraine, and that is related both to the acute and preventive therapies. And finally, couple of position statements that have been written by the International Hague Society that strive to improve the quality of how migraine individuals are treated, and that really conveys a paradigm shift where we probably should be starting preventive therapy sooner than later. Dr. Tesha Monteith: Great. Thank you so much for that quick summary. And please check out the Full Headache Medicine series. I appreciate talking to you, Patricia, and look forward to discussing more highlights next time. Dr. Patricia Pozo-Rosich: Thank you, Tisha. See you very soon. Dr. Tesha Monteith: And thank you for listening to the Neurology Minutes.
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, Dr. Bill Cooper, Senior Vice President for Professionalism and Clinical Excellence at Vanderbilt University Medical Center and Cornelius Vanderbilt Professor of Pediatrics and Health Policy at Vanderbilt University School of Medicine, shares how structured feedback, credo based evaluations, and peer led cup of coffee conversations strengthen culture and patient safety.

Use code HEHE at https://cozyearth.com/ for 20% off your order and treat yourself to the sleep you've been dreaming of. In this episode, HeHe sits down with Dr. Kristin Lasseter to unpack perinatal mental health with a focus on postpartum anxiety (PPA) versus postpartum depression (PPD), how they differ, and when “baby blues” may signal something more. While mood shifts are common in the early postpartum days, symptoms that persist beyond a couple of weeks, disrupt sleep, bring constant anxiety or sadness, intrusive thoughts, or thoughts of death deserve real support. They talk candidly about the guilt, shame, and fear of judgment that keep many women silent, and why telling one safe person can be a powerful first step. The conversation explores common risk factors like fertility struggles, pregnancy or birth complications, and PMDD, along with the significant hormonal shift that happens after the placenta is delivered and why the brain can feel especially vulnerable during that window. HeHe and Dr. Lasseter also navigate the often-stigmatized topic of psychiatric medication during pregnancy and postpartum. They discuss why abruptly stopping medication is usually unsafe, how to thoughtfully weigh medication risks against the risks of untreated mental illness, what research tells us about breastfeeding compatibility, and what to expect when starting or adjusting treatment. They touch on newer, faster-acting postpartum depression options, therapy modalities like CBT and EMDR, and additional treatments such as TMS and ECT. The episode closes with an honest conversation about bounce-back culture, social media pressure, and choosing support systems that protect a mother's mental health. Throughout, the message is clear: evidence-based care matters, suffering in silence isn't a badge of honor, and there is no shame in using medication when it's needed. 0:00 - Introduction: Mental Health Medications in Pregnancy & Postpartum 4:36 - Postpartum Anxiety vs Postpartum Depression: Key Differences 6:01 - Normal Baby Blues vs Red Flags: When to Seek Help 9:51 - Intrusive Thoughts & Breaking the Stigma 17:26 - Medication Safety in Pregnancy: What You Need to Know 24:43 - Should You Stop Your Meds When Pregnant? 30:03 - Hormones & Mental Health: The Postpartum Crash 43:56 - Breastfeeding While on Psychiatric Medications 51:26 - How Long Should You Stay on Medication? 60:50 - Fighting the "Bounce Back" Culture & Social Media's Impact Guest Bio: Kristin Yeung Lasseter, MD is a Board-Certified Psychiatrist in Texas who specializes in Reproductive Psychiatry and Women's Mental Health.

"The Bible is not a book of science." We hear and read that statement a lot these days. It's true that a surgeon will not be found peering into a Bible during surgery in order to perfect a surgical technique. But there is a deceptive lie hidden in the claim that the Bible is not a book of science.Back when Ignaz Semmelweis was a doctor, one out of every six women who gave birth in his hospital died of what was called "child bed fever." Dr. Semmelweis set out to discover why this was happening. He discovered that doctors were not cleaning their hands or instruments between patients. As a result, they were spreading germs from one patient to the next. Dr. Semmelweis instituted a policy requiring clean hands and instruments for each patient, and mortality rates dropped almost to zero immediately!But Dr. Semmelweis's discovery was not new knowledge. Thousands of years earlier, God had taught the Israelites, through Moses, that whenever they came into contact with a dead or diseased person, they were "unclean." Unclean people and their clothing had to be cleansed in clear running water. They also had to sprinkle their clothing with wet hyssop branches. Today, we know that hyssop contains a powerful antibacterial and antifungal agent.So when the Bible says something that touches upon an area of science, it is still technically accurate and correct. After all, the Author of the Bible is also the Author of everything that science studies!Numbers 19:18"And a clean person shall take hyssop, and dip it in the water, and sprinkle it upon the tent, and upon all the vessels, and upon the persons that were there, and upon him that touched a bone, or one slain, or one dead, or a grave:"Prayer: Dear heavenly Father, the world declares the Bible, Your Word, out of date and then ignores it, to its own great loss. I, therefore, ask you to forgive me for Jesus' sake, for my own neglect to make Your Word more a part of my life. Help me to abandon the world's way and make the Bible a practical part of my everyday life. Amen.REF.: Thompson, Bert. Dr. Semmelweis & the Bible. Reasoning from Revelation.

In this episode, Jim sits down with Al Sanchez, an engineer-turned-health advocate who represents Poly MVA, a nutraceutical designed to support cellular energy production. Al shares how losing his mother and sister to illness set him and his father on a lifelong journey exploring alternative and integrative health therapies.Al breaks down complex concepts like mitochondria and metabolism in plain language, explaining why cellular energy is at the root of everything from immune function to brain clarity. He makes the case for what he calls "common sense medicine", addressing the basics like hydration, nutrition, sleep, stress reduction, and movement before reaching for pharmaceuticals.The conversation covers the role of Poly MVA in supporting mitochondrial function, how stress silently undermines our health, why animals offer powerful proof of supplement efficacy (no placebo effect!), and how lifestyle choices can actually change the expression of our genes. Al also warns listeners to steer clear of internet "miracle cures" and stick to therapies with a proven track record.A practical, energizing conversation full of relatable analogies, from cars to plants to kindergartners, that makes the science of healing genuinely accessible.HealingStrong's mission is to educate, equip and empower our group leaders and group participants through their journey with cancer or other chronic illnesses, and know there is HOPE.

Over the course of his career, Dr. Michael Welsh has seen cystic fibrosis transform from terminal to highly treatable. On this episode of Talk of Iowa, we listen back to Charity Nebbe's conversation with Dr. Welsh of the Carver College of Medicine at the University of Iowa, who has been studying and treating Cystic Fibrosis for nearly 50 years. Dr. Welsh was awarded the 2025 Canada Gairdner International Award for his work on cystic fibrosis. Then, we hear about the Homestead Folk Art Museum in the Amana Colonies. (This show was originally produced on June 5, 2025.)
Democratic constitutions are social contracts. And sometimes, what's on the page is more stunning than what comes to life. Mila Versteeg says that citizens are the ultimate constitutional enforcers.They have to make it expensive for a government to break the social contract. Later in the show: Riddle me this: What's the first thing that a K-12 principal does in the morning? They decide which law to break! Paul Manna says that it's not because they're lawless rebels. It's because the 14,000 school districts across the United States have state laws, federal laws and local district policy telling them to do things that often contradict. So the question is: who should be making decisions about what happens in schools? And: The Reconstruction Era amendments tried to expand the concept of We the People. Did they really work? Wayne Moore says that that promise was never fully realized, and that's the nature of constitutions.
People with Parkinson's disease (PD) are at a higher risk of being hospitalized and often face even greater challenges once admitted. Of the more than 1 million people living with PD in the US, nearly one third are hospitalized each year. During a hospital stay, they are more likely to receive the wrong medication, encounter missed or delayed dosages, receive medications known to worsen PD symptoms, experience limited mobility, and face a higher risk of dysphagia (difficulty swallowing). These gaps in care can lead to avoidable complications, longer hospital stays, and worse overall health outcomes. The Parkinson's Foundation Hospital Care Initiative, launched in 2020, aims to eliminate preventable harm and promote higher quality PD inpatient care. Through this initiative, the Foundation provides hospitals with the opportunity for education, training, expertise, and the guidance necessary to improve hospital care for people with PD. As a component of this work, the Parkinson's Foundation Hospital Care Learning Collaborative was established to foster a peer-led group of hospitals, emergency departments, and health systems committed to improving care for people with PD. This national network of hospital and clinical leaders share best practices and lessons learned from national experts to enhance care before, during, and after hospitalization. In this episode, we speak with Rebecca Miller, an associate professor at the Yale School of Medicine in the Department of Psychiatry, and a person living with young-onset Parkinson's. She is joined by Leslie Pelton, a senior program officer with the John A. Hartford Foundation. Together, they do a deep dive into why hospital safety is especially critical for people with Parkinson's and highlight ongoing efforts to advance safer care, including initiatives such as the Age-Friendly Health Systems and the 4Ms framework. During the episode, Leslie mentions the 4Ms Worksheet and My Health Checklist as useful tools for preparing for a hospital visit.

Send a textIn Part Two of “Love Hurts: Leadership, Quality, and the Future of Hospice & Palliative Care,” leaders from the GeriPal podcast and TCNtalks / Anatomy of Leadership, continue a thoughtful discussion on the most pressing issues facing hospice and palliative care today.The conversation explores how waste, fraud, and abuse in isolated cases can tarnish the reputation of an entire field—even when the majority of providers deliver extraordinary care. The panel dives into the evolving landscape of ownership models, from nonprofit and faith-based organizations to private equity–backed providers, raising an important question: does ownership affect quality, or does leadership and accountability matter more? The discussion also examines structural challenges within the healthcare system, including flawed quality reporting tools like Medicare Compare and the unintended consequences of free-market dynamics in healthcare. With over 300 hospices sometimes operating within a single county, leaders highlight the need for transparency, meaningful quality metrics, and thoughtful regulation such as Certificate of Need laws to ensure resources are distributed responsibly and patients receive the best possible care. Finally, the conversation pivots to leadership—arguably the most important ingredient in shaping the future of hospice and palliative care. From the principle of “Go See for Yourself” (Gemba Leadership) to the importance of servant leadership, focus, curiosity, and interdisciplinary collaboration, the panel shares powerful lessons for healthcare leaders navigating complex systems while staying grounded in mission-driven care for patients and families.Key TakeawaysFraud and bad actors can damage the reputation of the entire hospice field. Ownership models matter less than maintaining high-quality patient care. Healthcare markets lack true transparency and informed consumer choice. Many hospices still lack meaningful public quality ratings. Effective leaders stay close to the mission and frontline care.

With over 300 hospices sometimes operating within a single county, leaders highlight the need for transparency, meaningful quality metrics, and thoughtful regulation such as Certificate of Need laws to ensure resources are distributed responsibly and patients receive the best possible care. Finally, the conversation pivots to leadership—arguably the most important ingredient in shaping the future of hospice and palliative care. From the principle of “Go See for Yourself” (Gemba Leadership) to the importance of servant leadership, focus, curiosity, and interdisciplinary collaboration, the panel shares powerful lessons for healthcare leaders navigating complex systems while staying grounded in mission-driven care for patients and families.Key TakeawaysFraud and bad actors can damage the reputation of the entire hospice field. Ownership models matter less than maintaining high-quality patient care. Healthcare markets lack true transparency and informed consumer choice. Many hospices still lack meaningful public quality ratings. Effective leaders stay close to the mission and frontline care.

The word “trauma” is used so widely at present, arguably too widely. But it bespeaks a tenor of our shared reality. This episode is a journey inside what I've come to see as a parallel universe unfolding, where our species is unlocking knowledge about ourselves and capacities for radical healing of the most extreme trauma and distress. These findings are even giving rise to dramatic healing alliances across political and social lines that are inflamed in the culture at large. At universities and research laboratories around the U.S. and world, there are countless clinical studies, yielding results it's hard not at times to call miraculous — for complex PTSD, long-term addiction, treatment-resistant depression. What I'm talking about are therapeutically-administered treatments with plant medicines and chemical compounds we call psychedelic or empathogenic. Use those words, and many of us — including me until not that long ago — might become wary. Like all forces of great power, these can cut in every direction — the dark and the light of the human condition. But the conversation you are about to hear, with one of the leading neuroscientists in this field, revolves around serious, important research in settings designed for careful, beneficial human effect. Gül Dölen's groundbreaking contribution to all of us is in her fascinating insight into what psychedelically-assisted therapies are revealing about the workings of the human brain and the brain's capacity to change and the human capacity for major transformation altogether. The potential consequences of this science are intimate and civilizational at once. I see them as a stunning ray of hope in a struggling world.

Thousands of studies back red light therapy, yet most devices on the market are completely ineffective and don't do a thing for your body. Today, I'm joined by Ari Whitten to break down how red and near-infrared light actually interacts with your cells and why it matters for everything from wrinkles to stubborn body fat. Ari explains the science behind photobiomodulation, how specific wavelengths penetrate deep into tissue to trigger repair, stimulate collagen production, and mobilize stem cells throughout your entire body. He discusses the critical differences between superficial and deep tissue treatments, why irradiance and LED density are the two specs most companies lie about, and how to tell if a red light device is worth your money. We also get into the story behind red light and fat loss. Ari shares his thoughts on whether it works for stubborn areas like the love handles and thighs, and what has to be true in your lifestyle for red light to make a difference. "You can shine red and near-infrared light on one part of the body and get healing in a totally different organ system that never received any of those light photons." ~ Ari Whitten In This Episode: - Why Ari wrote a book on red light therapy - Defining red light therapy - How red and near-infrared light affects the human body - Benefits of red light therapy for tissue repair, skin, joints, and more - How often do you need to use red light therapy? - Why most red light devices in the market are ineffective - What to look for when purchasing red light products - Does red light therapy help with fat loss? - Does red light therapy oxygenate the body's tissues? - Ari's updated version of The Ultimate Guide to Red Light Therapy Products & Resources Mentioned: The Ultimate Guide to Red Light Therapy (Version 2) by Ari Whitten: Available at major booksellers and on Amazon at https://a.co/d/01uC2BF4 Bon Charge Blue Light Blocking Glasses: Get 15% off sitewide with code WENDY at https://boncharge.com Organifi Happy Drops: Save 20% with code MYERSDETOX at https://organifi.com/myersdetox Organifi Collagen: Save 20% with code MYERSDETOX at https://organifi.com/myersdetox P600 Ceramic Cookware by Chef's Foundry: Currently 50% off, with an additional 20% off for listeners using code WENDY20 at https://chefsfoundry.com Heavy Metals Quiz: Find out your toxicity score and receive a free video series on detoxification at https://heavymetalsquiz.com About Ari Whitten: Ari Whitten is a leading expert in energy optimization and red light therapy, with a background in exercise science and human nutrition.

Prioritize Fun! What should you do with the time between getting accepted to medical school and orientation week? Fallon Jung, Anna Royer, Jonah Albrecht, and Charis Edwards tell their stories about finding out they got in (including one bathroom cry session and a Colorado NICU celebration), what they actually did to prepare, and why you absolutely shouldn’t pre-study. If you’re headed to medical school next year, this episode is basically your older sibling giving you the honest advice nobody else will—like why floor time in windowless study rooms is underrated, how to fill your cup before classes start, and the surprising truth about how much fun you can still have during M1 year. You’ll hear why these students think the admissions committee already believes you can do this, practical tips on setting up your study space without buying every resource known to humankind, and honest talk about mental health, sleep, and remembering why you wanted to be a doctor in the first place. The crew plus show photographer David Lee also debuts a med school edition of “That Escalated Quickly,” a party game that somehow involves electrocuting your brain’s pleasure centers, peppermint ice cream debates, and the very specific hell of planning to study instead of actually studying. Whether you’re pre-med, pre-PA, or just curious what actually happens before med school starts, hang out with your SCP friends who genuinely want you to succeed—and who aren’t afraid to laugh at themselves along the way.

SummaryClayton Cuteri sits down with certified hypnotherapist and past life regression practitioner Jonathan Robinson for a deep Odyssey conversation about what happens when you go beyond this lifetime. Jonathan shares powerful client stories, from a 500-pound woman who lost hundreds of pounds after uncovering a past life vow, to a man whose chronic shoulder pain vanished after revisiting a Native American life, to a podcaster whose snake phobia traced back to a lifetime as a healer burned for witchcraft.They explore how trauma gets trapped in the body, why children remember past lives so vividly, and the research from Michael Newton, Dolores Cannon, and Jim Tucker at the University of Virginia that backs it all up. Clayton and Jonathan also go deeper into what happens between incarnations, the life review, the spirit council, the Akashic Records, and what it means for our collective mission on Earth right now.Jonathan breaks down the Hawkins Scale of Enlightenment, the role of shadow work in raising your vibration, and why hypnosis may be one of the most effective yet overlooked tools for rapid personal transformation.

Before WebMD convinced you that your headache is terminal, medicine used to be… absolutely unhinged. This week we dive headfirst into the horrifying, hilarious world of Old Time Medicine—when doctors prescribed heroin for coughs, crocodile poop for birth control, and thought the best way to diagnose illness was by drinking your pee like a fine wine. From arsenic beauty wafers to tapeworm diet pills, humanity spent centuries confidently poisoning itself in the name of “science.” We explore the weird cures, the gross treatments, and the moments where medicine was basically guessing with confidence. Spoiler: somehow we survived long enough to invent antibiotics.This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp. Life can get overwhelming, and talking to a professional can make a huge difference.

What if our ancestors already found solutions for our modern health problems—and the answers are hiding in plain sight in your spice cabinet?Allspice (Pimenta dioica) may be small, but as Asia Dorsey shares in this episode, its medicine is mighty. Used throughout the Caribbean, Central America, and beyond, this aromatic berry carries anti-fungal, circulatory, and even menopausal support (all while making your food taste incredible!).But this conversation goes far beyond herbal actions. Asia weaves together ecology, fermentation science, ancestral cooking techniques, and herbal healing into a powerful reminder: everything we need is already here.Along with spices, fermented foods (from wine to jun, sauerkraut to kimchi, and more) are Asia's jam! If you've ever been curious about making your own living foods, you'll definitely want to try her simple, delicious recipe for Living Habanero Hot Sauce. You can download a beautifully illustrated recipe card here.By the end of this episode, you'll know:► Why allspice deserves far more respect than its “holiday spice” reputation► The surprising way this tiny berry supports women's health► How allspice (and many other spices!) protects the body from modern inflammatory stressors► Why fermentation makes certain foods easier to digest► How bioregional and ancestral herbalism can deepen your relationship with plants► and so much more…For those of you who don't know her, Asia Dorsey is a bioregional rootworker and nutritional therapist centering gut-mind healing through ancestral food as medicine. She has apprenticed with wise women across the globe to discern the pattern language of healing though land and lineage. Her Colorado practice stewards 1:1 clients and mentored students towards embodied liberation.This episode is a celebration of bioregional herbalism, cultural reverence, and the intelligence of food as medicine. I hope it inspires you to see your kitchen not just as a place to cook, but as a living apothecary rooted in lineage and place.----Get full show notes, transcript, and more information at: herbswithrosaleepodcast.comWould you prefer watching this episode?

James Garfield was a liar. A cheat. The country would be better off without him! Over time, Charles convinced himself that God wanted him to assassinate the president. So? He bought a gun. He tracked the president's movements. He shot the President in cold blood.Remember, kids, history hoes always cite their sources!

Developmental behavioral pediatrician Roxanne Almas discusses her article "The making of a rested healer." Roxanne shares her deeply personal journey through the "quiet unraveling" of burnout and the profound grief of losing both parents. She describes how she moved away from the cold efficiency of modern medicine to rediscover her "right brain" through creativity and intuition. The conversation explores the practice of Yoga Nidra as a portal to healing, challenging the "grind culture" of health care by framing rest not as a reward, but as a radical right. Roxanne draws powerful comparisons to aviation and athletics, arguing that just as pilots require rest for safety, physicians need a "Rest Ethic" to preserve their humanity and competence.

Most conversations about “AI in Medicine” bore me. I think this is because either we lack the imagination to consider how AI will change medicine in the next decade, or we are not being specific enough about how small parts of medicine could be productively affected.Dr. Shantanu Nundy, MD, MBA, is a practicing physician whom I like to think of as a serial innovator. He is currently an advisor on artificial intelligence to the FDA in the Commissioner's Office. He has spent a great deal of time and energy thinking deeply about what AI can bring us today and in the future. I hope you enjoy this conversation. This is a public episode.

Most doctors treat the average patient. But you are not average, and this episode gives you the precision medicine blueprint to treat yourself like the individual you are, using multi-omic testing, biohacking technology, and longevity science to optimize every layer of your biology. -Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey sits down with Dr. Anil Bajnath, a Board-Certified Family Physician, author of The Longevity Equation, and President and Founder of the American Board of Precision Medicine. He serves as Adjunct Professor at the George Washington University School of Medicine and CEO of the Institute for Human Optimization. Dr. Bajnath is certified through the Institute for Functional Medicine, board certified in anti-aging and regenerative medicine, and is one of the few clinicians actively applying genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and epigenetics together in a real clinical practice. Together, Dave and Dr. Bajnath break down why population-based medicine fails individuals, how functional medicine and precision science combine to unlock real human performance, and why your mitochondria sit at the foundation of every longevity strategy worth pursuing. They dig into how AI can help you decode your own inflammasome biology, why biohackers are using “sex drugs” to extend longevity, why vagal nerve stimulation directly suppresses the NLRP3 inflammasome, and which biomarkers like MMP9 and homocysteine mainstream medicine keeps ignoring. They also cover peptides, supplements, the dark side of metformin, microdosing for anti-aging, and why biohacking works best when it's personalized and precise. This is essential listening for anyone serious about longevity, smarter not harder health strategies, metabolism, sleep optimization, brain optimization, functional medicine, and taking full control of their biology.
