Is a hidden molecule in your food and water silently fueling cancer, Alzheimer's, and Parkinson's? Could the supplements you trust every day be making it worse?Dr. Stephanie Seneff is a senior research scientist at MIT (published in PNAS, Frontiers, FASEB) with a career studying nutrition, biology, and toxicology. In this conversation, she explains why deuterium — a heavier form of hydrogen — may be the most underrated driver of chronic disease, why cancer might be the body's repair response to deuterium-damaged mitochondria, and why most supplements may backfire.We discuss:◾ Why deuterium may be the most important molecule you've never heard of◾ How glyphosate stops your body from clearing deuterium◾ The two supplements you should stop taking immediately◾ Why she says: "I don't believe in supplements"◾ Why chemo may be working backwards on cancer◾ How to make your gut produce low-deuterium water◾ The folic-acid-in-pregnancy and autism connection◾ Why she drinks deuterium-depleted water every dayThis is Dr. Seneff's second appearance on Live Longer World.

Building HVAC Science - Building Performance, Science, Health & Comfort
Quotes from the episode: "Ducts matter. Nobody cares much about them until something goes wrong." "HVAC systems are designed assuming clean, bare sheet metal." "Even a small layer of dust can become a mountain range to an air molecule." "Think like an air molecule." In this episode, Bill speaks with Dan Stradford of Action Duct Cleaning about what really happens inside HVAC duct systems over time and why cleaning can matter more than many people realize. Dan shares how the duct cleaning industry evolved from its "wild west" early days into a more standardized field through NADCA, with better equipment, training, and certification practices. Dan explains that even a thin layer of dust can disrupt airflow, increase turbulence, raise static pressure, and reduce system efficiency. Drawing from NADCA energy studies, he describes how cleaning returns, supplies, fans, coils, and air handlers each contributed measurable performance improvements, including major reductions in fan and compressor energy use. The conversation also covers how HVAC professionals can evaluate duct-cleaning contractors, when homeowners or building owners should consider cleaning, and why ductwork deserves more attention as a hidden yet critical part of indoor air quality, comfort, and system performance.

Full Show Notes: https://bengreenfieldlife.com/timelinereplay In this special replay episode with repeat guest Dr. Anurag Singh from Timeline Nutrition, you'll explore the science of cellular health and longevity, including why mitochondrial function affects everything from energy and muscle performance to cognitive clarity and how well you age. Dr. Singh explains how urolithin A, a postbiotic compound derived from foods like pomegranates and berries, activates mitophagy, the body's cellular clean-up system that clears out worn-out mitochondria and replaces them with new ones, and how clinical research shows it can support muscle strength, endurance, immune resilience, and cognitive function. You'll also hear how diet, gut health, exercise, sleep, and recovery work alongside urolithin A to build a stronger, more resilient physiology over time. Dr. Anurag Singh is Chief Medical Officer at Timeline Nutrition, with an M.D. in internal medicine and a Ph.D. in immunology. He has authored more than 50 scientific articles, been awarded over 20 patents, and led more than 50 randomized clinical trials. His decade of research on urolithin A has produced multiple clinically validated products bringing longevity science directly to consumers.

NAD+ is one of the most critical molecules in your body — essential for energy production, DNA repair, brain function, metabolism, and healthy aging. And after menopause, your levels drop significantly. The result is fatigue that sleep doesn't fix, brain fog that won't lift, and a body that stopped responding the way it used to. But here is what most women — and most doctors — don't know: supplementing without testing is guesswork. In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Jin-Xiong She, founder of Jinfiniti Precision Medicine and one of the world's leading NAD+ researchers, to talk about why intracellular NAD+ testing is the only way to know where your levels actually are — and what to do about it. About Dr. Jin-Xiong She: Dr. Jin-Xiong She is the founder and CEO of Jinfiniti Precision Medicine and a Distinguished Research Professor at Augusta University. He has authored more than 400 peer-reviewed scientific publications, secured over $100 million in research funding, and holds multiple patents in precision medicine and metabolic health. His work on intracellular NAD+ testing has made him one of the most important voices in longevity and cellular health science today. In this episode: Why NAD+ declines so dramatically after menopause What low NAD+ actually feels like in your body The difference between intracellular testing and guessing NR versus NMN — what the science actually says How to dose correctly based on your results Why most women are supplementing wrong This is not another supplement conversation. This is precision medicine for midlife women.

NAD+ has become the longevity industry's favorite molecule, sold as as a supplement and as a four-hour IV that promises sharper thinking, more energy, and slower aging. But a new 2026 paper complicates the very story it was built on. In this episode, Jeff breaks down what NAD+ actually is, what the human trials really show, and why the gap between a $40 oral supplement and a $1,200 IV drip matters more than the marketing admits. You'll learn about: What NAD+ does in the body and why it got tied to aging The new research questioning whether NAD+ truly declines with age Oral NR and NMN versus IV infusions, and what the evidence supports The risks rarely mentioned, including the cancer question Why the saline, B vitamins, and forced rest may explain how good people feel This episode is for anyone weighing NAD+, longevity supplements, or an IV drip, and who wants to tell real science from wellness hype first.

Send us Fan MailFifteen minutes can be enough to shake your sense of self and that is exactly why people are paying attention to 5-MeO-DMT. I'm joined by Stephan Kirby, co-founder of the Mindscape Psychedelic Institute, to unpack what this psychedelic actually is, why many people call it Bufo, and why the ethical conversation matters just as much as the mystical one.We talk about the “god molecule” effect people report at a full-release dose: ego dissolution, a sudden drop-out of identity and story, and a return that can feel like waking up with fresh space around old habits. Stephan shares why the experience is often described as less visual than traditional DMT and more like pure consciousness, and how that can shift depression, anxiety, trauma patterns, and fear of death. We also explore why some people compare it to near-death experiences, and what it means to come back holding life a little more lightly.Safety is the thread running through everything. We get into trauma-informed psychedelic facilitation, proper screening, informed consent, medication considerations, and why a person should never be left unsupported when they are not aware of their surroundings. Stephan also explains why integration is the real work: bringing the insight into daily life through presence, breathwork, and practices that help the nervous system regulate, rather than chasing repeated peak experiences.If you're curious about psychedelic therapy, nervous system reset, somatic release, and the move from underground use towards research and clinical access, this conversation will give you a grounded place to start.

This isn't a conversation about supplements. It's a conversation about energy, clarity, and coming back to life.If you're exhausted, foggy, depleted, or wondering if this is simply what midlife feels like now... this conversation matters.Because I was there too.When I first met Chris Burris, chief scientist and founder of My Vital C, I was still deep in the grief portal, hormonal repair, and a heaviness I didn't have language for yet.And then something began to change.Not overnight. Not magically. But because I was introduced to something that works at the level of the mitochondria, the energy systems inside the body that impact everything from mental clarity and nervous system regulation to sleep, inflammation, vitality, and resilience.Chris has been manufacturing the C60 molecule commercially since 1991, five years before the scientists who discovered it won the Nobel Prize. What began as a scientific pursuit eventually evolved into a wellness breakthrough now getting attention from some of the most trusted voices in biohacking and longevity.But what matters most to me is this: I felt the difference.And then I watched nine women on my retreat feel it too. Three days in, every single one of them noticed a shift. More clarity. More presence. More energy. Better sleep. Less fog. Feeling more like themselves.That's when I knew I needed to bring Chris onto Fire and Soul.In This EpisodeWhy so many women in midlife feel foggy, depleted, and exhaustedThe hidden role mitochondria play in energy, sleep, focus, and resilienceChris's BOSS Theory and how stressed mitochondria impact the whole bodyWhy you take it in the morning and often sleep better at nightThe retreat experience that made me pay attentionSkin changes, energy shifts, and the three-month arc many people experiencePets, longevity research, and the surprising breadth of testimonialsWhat it feels like to finally come back online after depletionAbout Chris BurresChris Burres is the chief scientist and founder of My Vital C and has been manufacturing the C60 molecule commercially since 1991.

Your relationships are reshaping your biology in ways that diet and exercise alone cannot fix, and the science behind it will change how you think about longevity, metabolism, and what it actually means to be healthy. Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey sits down with Dr. Molly Maloof, a physician and one of the most innovative voices in personalized medicine, functional medicine, and human performance. Since 2012, she has advised or consulted for over 50 companies across digital health, consumer health, and biotechnology. She pioneered a course on healthspan at Stanford University and founded Adamo Bioscience, a company dedicated to unlocking the science of love as a pathway to healing and human connection. Dr. Maloof brings a rare combination of clinical depth, biohacking credibility, and entrepreneurial range to one of the most overlooked conversations in longevity. Together, Dave and Dr. Maloof dig into the neurobiology of love and attachment, the hormonal drivers of the sex drive and pair bonding, and how chronic isolation wrecks your metabolism at the cellular level. They explore the cell danger response and how toxic relationships, mold exposure, and trauma can lock your cells into a self-protection mode that blocks healing. They also cover psychedelics as hormetic tools, oxytocin as nature's medicine, the placebo response, peptide therapy for mitochondrial repair and anti-aging, and why regenerative medicine is about to rewrite the rules of human lifespan. If you are serious about biohacking your body from the inside out, this episode is essential. You'll Learn: Why human connection is a biological necessity, not a lifestyle preference, and what isolation does to your mitochondria and metabolism How the three neurobiological drives of sex, romantic love, and attachment are wired into your hormones and what happens when they go wrong What the cell danger response is, why it gets stuck, and which peptides, supplements, and therapies help break the cycle How oxytocin drives wound healing, immune function, and the placebo response Why psychedelics work as hormetic love drugs and how they reproduce the neurobiology of romantic love The top peptides for mitochondrial repair, brain optimization, and telomere biology Why Dave and Dr. Maloof believe we have already reached longevity escape velocity How AI is accelerating precision medicine, protein folding breakthroughs, and the future of anti-aging therapeutics Why fasting, breathwork, neurofeedback, and somatic therapies all converge on the same biological reset mechanism How to build the adaptive capacity and bioenergetic reserves to bounce back from anything Thank you to our sponsors! - Danger Coffee | Grab yours at DangerCoffee.com and use code DAVEPOD at checkout for 15% off. - Amp | If you're ready to make fitness fit into your life, go to amp.ai to check it out - Puori | Go to Puori.com/DAVE or use code DAVE at checkout to get 32% off your Puori Fish Oil subscription.

"The more you're attached to your identity, the further you are away from joy." Joy is not something earned through money, status, or achievement. It's something already within us that gets buried under identity, expectations, and the constant need for validation. Real fulfillment comes from reconnecting with who we truly are beneath our thoughts, labels, and conditioning. The episode explores how attachment to identity creates suffering, while presence, gratitude, meaningful relationships, and self-awareness bring people back to a more joyful and connected way of living. Larry Kesslin shares how years of entrepreneurial success still left him searching for something deeper. Experiences in Africa and Mexico challenged his assumptions about happiness, poverty, and purpose, ultimately reshaping the direction of his life and work. Larry explains how joy becomes easier when expectations are released, relationships deepen, and people begin living from awareness instead of reaction. Larry is a speaker, author, and conscious leadership coach focused on helping high achievers reconnect with meaning, purpose, and joy. After stepping away from a successful entrepreneurial career, he dedicated his work to building conscious community, guiding purpose-driven leaders, and creating spaces where people can connect through authenticity, service, and self-awareness.

In 1985, three scientists at Rice University discovered a carbon molecule so structurally perfect it eventually earned them the Nobel Prize in Chemistry. What nobody anticipated was what would happen when researchers gave it to rats — a 90% extension in lifespan, the longest longevity result ever recorded in mammalian history.Chris Burres has been manufacturing this molecule since 1991, five years before the Nobel Prize was awarded. He joins Dr. Brandon Crawford to break down how ESS60 (Carbon 60) works at the mitochondrial level, why it functions as a buffering oxidative stress system rather than a conventional antioxidant, and what the growing clinical evidence suggests about its effects on sleep, inflammation, cognition, and long-term healthspan.ResourcesMyVitalC Exclusive Offers: 40% discount on 6-bottle bundle, $30 coupon, and 18 free biohacking tips when you use the link myvitalc.com/crawfordLive Longer and Better by Chris Burres and Jerome Corsi (autographed copies available with proceeds supporting Operation Underground Railroad)Operation Underground Railroad — Non-profit combating child exploitation (100% of autograph fees donated)Live Beyond the Norms Podcast hosted by Chris BurresFollow MyVitalC on Instagram2012 Baati Study — Peer-reviewed research showing 90% lifespan extension in Wistar rats SES Research Inc. — Manufacturing and research company (since 1991, Houston, Texas)Products528 Innovations LasersNeuroSolution Full Spectrum CBDNeuroSolution Broad Spectrum CBDNeuroSolution StimpodSTEMREGEN®Learn MoreFor more information, resources, and podcast episodes, visit https://tinyurl.com/3ppwdfpm

Originally studied for its chemical properties, ESS60 gained unexpected attention when a toxicity study revealed that rats given ESS60 lived up to 90% longer than the control group.. Chris explains how this molecule may work at the root cause level—inside the mitochondria, the energy-producing centers of our cells. According to emerging research and the "buffering oxidative stress system" (BOSS theory), ESS60 may help neutralize reactive oxygen species, reducing oxidative stress and supporting cellular resilience.

Send us Fan MailDaniel Z. Lieberman, psychiatrist and co-author of The Molecule of More, joins Joe to explore the powerful role dopamine plays in shaping our desires, decisions, and sense of fulfillment.Joe and Dan discuss how dopamine isn't just about pleasure—it's about possibility. It drives us to chase the future, often leading us to idealize what's ahead while overlooking what's right in front of us. From career ambition to relationships, this constant pursuit can leave us restless, unsatisfied, and always searching for the next thing.Throughout the conversation, they examine the tension between “wanting” and “liking,” why achieving our goals can sometimes feel empty, and how modern environments—from social media to consumer culture—are designed to keep us in a dopaminergic loop.They also explore practical ways to create balance—how to strengthen “here and now” awareness through journaling, reflection, and intentional habits, and why slowing down is not natural, but something we must train ourselves to do.Joe and Dan also discuss: Why dopamine is better understood as a “prediction” or “possibility” molecule—not a pleasure one The difference between wanting something and actually liking it How the “Daisy effect” (idealizing the future) shapes our expectations and disappointments. How dating apps and social media amplify dopamine and distort reality The transition from passionate love to companionate love—and why it matters How a lifetime of goal-chasing (like in the military) conditions us to struggle with stillness Why journaling helps uncover patterns, motivations, and meaning Practical tools like meditation and breathwork to strengthen “here and now” awareness The importance of asking “why” before chasing the next goal Whether you're navigating a transition, chasing a goal, or trying to better understand your own patterns, this episode offers a powerful framework for recognizing when you're being driven by the future—and how to reconnect with the present.Watch the interview on YouTubeA Special Thanks to Our Sponsors!

Stronger, sharper years are possible when you target the source of aging.In this episode, Dr. Stephen Petteruti sits down with Chris Burris, Chief Scientist of MyVitalC, to focus on Carbon 60 (C60) and why it's gaining attention in longevity science. This Nobel Prize–recognized molecule acts as a potent antioxidant at the mitochondrial level, helping manage the oxidative stress that drives aging and many chronic conditions. Chris outlines how C60 is produced and why its unique structure allows it to neutralize large numbers of free radicals. The discussion ties this to real outcomes while stressing quality control, proper sourcing, and avoiding hype in the supplement space. Dr. Stephen adds in the clinical context that aging accelerates when oxidative stress and inflammation outpace the body's defenses.

Welcome to the latest episode of LIFTS, your bite-sized dose of the Latest Industry Fitness Trends and Stories. In this episode, hosts Matthew Januszek and Mohammed Iqbal explore one of the most talked-about topics in modern wellness: NAD and the rapid rise of longevity therapies. Joined by Rachele Pojednic, Chief Science Officer at Restore Hyper Wellness, the conversation breaks down what NAD actually is, how it functions within the body, and why it has become such a focal point in energy, recovery, and healthy aging. As wellness clinics, IV therapies, and performance treatments continue to grow in popularity, NAD has emerged as a central molecule in the conversation around optimisation and longevity. However, as interest increases, so too does the gap between consumer awareness, scientific understanding, and real-world application. The discussion explores the biology behind NAD, including its role in cellular energy production, metabolism, and DNA repair, while also examining the different forms of NAD and its precursors, such as NR and NMN. Matthew and Mo share their own experiences with NAD therapies, opening up a broader discussion around delivery methods, perceived benefits, and the difference between anecdotal outcomes and evidence-based practice. As the conversation develops, Rachel highlights the importance of understanding not just the therapy, but the underlying molecule, and why factors such as dosage, delivery method, and cellular transport play a critical role in determining effectiveness. The episode also addresses the wider challenges within the wellness industry, including the speed at which new therapies are being adopted, the influence of biohacking culture, and the growing need for scientific validation and safety data. For operators, this episode provides valuable insight into both the opportunities and responsibilities associated with integrating longevity and wellness services into fitness environments. In this episode, we cover: What NAD is and how it works in the body Why NAD levels decline with age The rise of NAD and wellness clinics The difference between NAD, NR, and NMN Why delivery method and molecule selection matter The gap between wellness hype and scientific evidence Safety considerations, dosage challenges, and unknowns

The global oil market still runs on a horribly fragmented system where physical barrels, paper contracts, and financial settlement operate in parallel but disconnected layers. Transactions are dependent on manual processes, emails, PDFs, and handshake relationships built over decades. For a trillion dollar industry, the core trading infrastructure remains slow, opaque, and largely inaccessible for all but the largest players. This creates real operational and financial constraints. Settlement delays can stretch to 90 days, tying up working capital and exposing companies to liquidity risk. Market access is hobbled by lengthy know-your-customer processes and high barriers to entry. Here in the spring of 2026, with the Strait of Hormuz blocked, these inefficiencies add up to systemic challenges that will make eventual recovery much harder than it needs to be. It's time for a new approach, one that digitizes the physical barrel itself. By tokenizing crude oil into smaller, tradable units, markets can accelerate settlement, improve transparency, and broaden participation. Imagine a token that represents a real, physical quantity of oil, enabling traceability across the supply chain and creating a new layer of market visibility. This also opens the door to fractional ownership and new forms of capital access that were previously unavailable. In this episode, I am speaking with Baron Lamarre, co-founder of INDEX, the International Digital Exchange, about how tokenization could fundamentally reshape oil trading. We explore the inefficiencies of today's system, the mechanics of turning barrels into digital assets, and why this shift could materially improve cash flow, transparency, and market access across the energy sector.
Today, I'm excited to welcome Michael Long to the podcast. Michael is a physicist-turned-writer and the co-author of the international bestseller The Molecule of More. His work explores one of the most powerful forces shaping our lives: the brain chemical dopamine — and how it influences motivation, ambition, and our constant drive for "more." Michael is also the author of Taming the Molecule of More: A Step-by-Step Guide to Making Dopamine Work for You. Over the course of his career, he has written speeches for members of Congress, presidential candidates, Fortune 10 CEOs, while also teaching at Georgetown University and producing award-winning screenplays. In our conversation, Michael explains why dopamine isn't actually the chemical that makes us happy, it's the chemical that makes us want more. More trips, more gadgets, more fun stuff on our phones. We discuss how this pursuit of "more" drives innovation and progress, but can also leave retirees feeling restless or unfulfilled if they're not careful. Michael also shares practical ways to recognize when dopamine is driving your decisions, how to create healthier habits that restore balance, and why learning to live more fully in the present moment can transform your experience of retirement.

In this podcast interview, you'll learn: Why dopamine isn't the "happiness chemical" — it's the chemical that drives our desire for more. How dopamine helped humans survive in a world of scarcity and danger. Why modern technology and social media can hijack your dopamine system. How retirees can redirect dopamine toward curiosity, purpose, and meaningful goals. The difference between dopamine (future-focused) and "here-and-now" brain chemicals. Simple habits that help reduce impulsive dopamine-driven decisions. Why learning to pause and appreciate the present moment can dramatically improve life satisfaction in retirement.

Butyrate is a short-chain fatty acid produced by the microbiome—and it plays a foundational role in gut health, inflammation control, immune system regulation, and even brain function. The problem? Most people today are deficient due to poor microbiome health, low fiber tolerance, and chronic gut dysfunction. Steven breaks down how butyrate supports the integrity of the gut lining, fuels colon cells, regulates oxygen levels in the microbiome, and creates an environment where beneficial bacteria can thrive. Without it, even the best diets and supplements may fall short. TOPICS DISCUSSED: Butyrate: What It Is & Why It Matters Tributerin vs Standard Butyrate Diet Debate (Fiber vs Carnivore vs Vegan) Root Cause vs Symptom-Based Healing Failures of Probiotics & Supplement Industry Nervous System & Environmental Inputs More from Steven Wright: Website: healthygut.com Instagram: @healthygutco Leave us a Review: https://www.reversablepod.com/review Need help with your gut?
