About this episode: In June, the FDA convened an advisory committee to discuss whether seven selected peptides should be permitted for legal sale under pharmacy compounding laws despite little research into safety and efficacy. Agency scientists oppose the decision while some committee members with ties to the growing industry support it. In this episode: Dr. Josh Sharfstein, who previously served as the Principal Deputy Commissioner of the FDA, explains what is happening and what it may mean for consumers and patients. Guest: Dr. Josh Sharfstein is distinguished professor of the practice in Health Policy and Management, a pediatrician, and former secretary of Maryland's Health Department. He served as the Baltimore City Commissioner of Health from 2005 to 2009. Host: Lindsay Smith Rogers, MA, is the producer of the Public Health On Call podcast, an editor for Expert Insights, and the director of content strategy for the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.

Are you tired of working out endlessly and trying every generic diet, only to see zero results? What if the problem isn't your discipline, but a lack of information about your unique biology? In this episode of The Level Up Podcast, Paul Alex sits down with Dora Maria, a Bay Area native, UC Berkeley graduate, and former healthcare executive who spent 15 years within the medical system. Dora shares her incredible journey from growing up in a garage while her mother battled breast cancer, to reaching the peak of her career, only to find herself in the back of an ambulance at 39 years old. After struggling with pre-diabetes, a 50-pound weight gain, and uncontrolled hypertension, Dora realized that the traditional healthcare system is designed for surviving, not thriving. She took her health into her own hands, utilizing DNA testing and advanced lab panels to uncover exactly what her body needed. Dora breaks down the truth about popular weight loss trends, explaining why the Keto diet landed her in the ER with appendicitis, and why high-intensity workouts like Orange Theory were actually causing her body to hold onto fat. She also dives deep into the world of peptides, explaining the difference between weight loss GLPs (like Ozempic and Zepbound) and powerful longevity peptides (like BPC-157 and the Wolverine stack) for tissue regeneration and anti-aging. If you are a high-performing professional or entrepreneur looking to optimize your health, buy back your time, and finally get a customized plan that fits your DNA, this episode is a game-changer!

You've seen the ads. You've heard the buzz. But do you actually know what peptides are — or what they're doing inside your body? In this first episode of a three-part series, Jamie Preston sits down with Dr. Melissa Jones, a 25-year clinical pharmacist and VP at Your Health, to lay the foundation every patient and provider needs before entering the peptide conversation. Dr. Jones brings rare credibility to this space — she didn't come in as a believer, she came in as a scientist who was challenged to learn, and what she found changed how she practices. What you'll hear in this episode: Why insulin is a peptide — and why that means peptides have been in your medicine cabinet for years How BPC 157 and TB 500 work together to signal the body to heal — and the real patient stories behind that science Why GLP-1 medications like Mounjaro and Ozempic are peptides, and how they actually produce weight loss The difference between peptides and steroids (hint: one sends signals, one messes with your hormones) Why "research use only" labels are a red flag — and why compounding pharmacies matter more than you think What providers need to start asking patients right now Whether you're a patient who's been curious or a provider who's been hesitant, this episode gives you the grounded, evidence-informed starting point you've been looking for. Part two goes even deeper — but this is where it begins. www.YourHealth.Org

>p>Broadcast from KSQD, Santa Cruz on 7-30-2026: A type of coffee brewed from beans that have been altered by passage through the digestive track of civet cats is a delicacy in Southeast Asia. A Scientific Reports paper using gas chromatography analyzed Kopi Luwak (civet-processed coffee beans) versus fresh-picked beans, finding elevated caprylic and capric acids that carry the characteristic flavor notes found in dairy products. Dr. Manuel Esteller sampled and tested the blood, saliva, urine, and stool of the oldest human Maria Branyas Morera, who died last year at 117. Despite exceptionally short telomeres, she carried anti-inflammatory genetic variants seen in long-lived dogs, worms, and flies, and had unusually high Bifidobacterium levels—likely boosted by her three-daily-servings-of-yogurt habit. Dr. Dawn defends sunscreen use against Environmental Working Group scare campaigns, noting that concerns about absorption of sunscreen ingredients into blood remain theoretical while sunburn's melanoma link is well-established. She argues that a badly sunburned toddler starts a clock that can produce melanoma by the late teens. The FDA advisory committee is reviewing certain short amino acid chains popularly known as "peptides" for potential compounding-pharmacy production, covering proposed to treat ulcerative colitis, wound healing, insomnia, insulin resistance, migraines, and osteoporosis. Dr. Dawn flags that five to seven committee members have industry conflicts of interest, but argues that even flawed approval is preferable to the current gray market, where analysis shows vials contain only 4-28% of labeled content along with endotoxin and toluene contamination. She proposes surveillance tracking of prescribed peptides to catch adverse effects early, citing a foreign melanocortin nasal spray tanning product that caused rare nasal melanomas as a cautionary example. Utah State biochemists working with the Cas12a2 CRISPR enzyme discovered that instead of behaving as a precise gene-editor like Cas9, it goes into an indiscriminate DNA-shredding mode after recognizing its target RNA. By programming it to recognize RNA sequences uniquely activated in cancer cells (embryonic-development genes that shouldn't be running in adults), researchers destroyed only the cancer cells in tissue culture, potentially offering a way to eliminate small metastases without healthy tissue toxicity. Cancer patients who received a COVID-19 mRNA vaccine within 100 days of starting immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy showed dramatically improved outcomes, with median survival in advanced lung cancer rising from 20 to 37 months. Non-mRNA vaccines (flu, pneumonia) showed no such benefit. Lab work suggests the mRNA triggers type-1 interferon release that activates tumor-infiltrating immune cells and drives them to lymph nodes to train other immune cells against the tumor. Researchers redesigned a CD40 agonist antibody to bind multiple receptors simultaneously by clustering with a second antibody, stretching the cell surface and triggering a powerful immune response. In a 12-patient trial, injecting one tumor caused all tumors to shrink in six patients and produced complete remission in two—including a melanoma patient with dozens of leg tumors and a metastatic breast cancer patient whose lung and liver tumors resolved after skin injection. Two small trials of CAR natural killer cells—engineered like CAR T-cells but derived from donor umbilical cord blood and thus potentially available off-the-shelf—showed remarkable results in autoimmune disease. All 27 systemic lupus patients targeting the CD19 protein on autoantibody-producing cells showed improvement, with some remaining in remission at nearly two years. A single Shanghai patient with systemic sclerosis showed restoration of normal skin and blood vessel structure. A paradox has emerged in advanced prostate cancer: while blocking testosterone halts early tumor growth, cancer cells eventually adapt to low-androgen conditions such that flooding tissues with testosterone in advanced disease can actually halt tumor progression by triggering cellular redifferentiation. Separately, Dr. Dawn reviews conflicting evidence on Parkinson's risk from androgen deprivation therapy, singling out enzalutamide (Xtandi) as the most concerning drug due to blood-brain barrier penetration, and recommending darolutamide as the safest alternative with matching prostate efficacy but minimal CNS entry.

In this episode the guys sit down with IFBB pro bodybuilder and science-driven performance coach Ben Pakulski for a wide-ranging conversation on peptides, performance, identity and the hard lessons of a 20-year bodybuilding career. Ben breaks down the peptide landscape — why he's optimistic about the science but deeply cautious about sourcing (90%+ of research peptides come from China with no quality guarantees), the most exciting peptides he's currently working with including SS-31 for mitochondrial repair, and myostatin inhibition and where the science actually stands. They also cover Ben's origin story — going from 160 pounds at 17 to 240 by 19 purely naturally, getting cut from a baseball team at 12 and how that shaped everything, the culture of his Toronto gym and what hard training actually looks like, the Arnold Classic story where he competed sick all night with vomiting and diarrhea and still got second. Ben shares how bodybuilding was never his identity — just something he did — and why leaving the sport felt like relief rather than loss. They also dig into GLP-1 use, the looming frailty epidemic, genetic testing for coaching, why the guys fixed their training plateaus through gut health and hormone optimization, and why Ben thinks the hard work of getting fit is the actual prize — not the physique.

An 185-pound frame earned in the trenches taught Anthony Castore that no protocol can out-discipline a broken foundation. From a 117-pound teenager asking too many questions to a Fellow at the Seeds Scientific Research & Performance Institute, Castore turned an obsession with cellular mechanics into decades of coaching elite athletes, executives, and physicians. Before chasing modern peptide hype and quick-fix stacks, lifters must master the free, high-yield biological signals that only heavy iron, dialed nutrition, and real recovery can trigger. INSIDE THIS CONVERSATION The 117-Pound Baseline: How hard-earned mass requires relentless execution rather than perfect genetics. The Peptide Trap: Why expensive compounds fail when basic training, nutrition, and recovery are ignored. Mitochondrial Mechanics: How to structure nutrition and meal timing around the body's natural cellular cleanup processes. Circadian Biology: Why morning light, breathwork, and evening habits have a direct impact on recovery, hormone health, and performance. Hydration Beyond Water: How strategic electrolyte balance and osmolytes help drive nutrients into muscle tissue instead of your bladder. MEET THE GUEST Anthony Castore, known as "The King of Peptides," is a strength coach and cellular medicine authority with more than three decades of experience training high performers, executives, and physicians. A former student of Charles Poliquin and Dr. Eric Serrano, Castore became one of the few non-physician Fellows at the Seeds Scientific Research & Performance Institute (SSRP), where he lectures at the Peptide World Congress. He is the founder of D.R.I.V.E. Longevity Solutions, creator of The Castore Method, and founder of AlchemIQ Labs.

Ask most people what a brain chip does and they will tell you it reads your mind. Dr. Michael Lawton implants these devices, and he says that is not what comes off them. He is President and CEO of Barrow Neurological Institute in Phoenix, the hospital where Neuralink's first human implant was performed, and he has completed more than 10,000 brain operations and clipped around 5,500 aneurysms. Louisa sat down with him inside Barrow to find out what the electrodes actually pick up, how far the technology has come, and where it stops. He walks through the surgery itself. The device goes into the hand knob, one small lobule of the motor cortex, where 64 electrodes have already become 108. The threads carrying them are about a tenth the thickness of a hair, so a robot inserts them while avoiding every arteriole on the surface. You'll hear what Nolan Arbaugh, Neuralink's first patient, can now do with a cursor at world record speed, and why Lawton can't keep up with him in a head to head. Then the correction. The data coming off these electrodes is a train of spikes, the same electrical language every neuron in your head is already using, and decoding it tells you whether a person meant to move a cursor left or right. Reading an emotion, or what someone thinks of you, is nowhere close. The second half turns to the brain Lawton has spent 29 years operating inside. He describes cooling a patient to 15 degrees Celsius and stopping their circulation completely, which shrivels a giant aneurysm like a raisin and opens a short window to repair it. He explains why the hardest cases will still need a pair of human hands, and what he tells trainees who think their craft is disappearing. On brain aging he is direct about what works. He predicts alcohol will be viewed in 20 years the way cigarettes were viewed in the 60s, he takes zero supplements and no peptides, and he says exactly what he can and cannot see when he looks at a living brain on the table. You'll also hear about Barrow's Mindgenuity Labs and its six mysteries of the mind, why he ranks movement as the first one to fall and consciousness as the one that may never be solved, what he believes consciousness physically is inside 86 billion neurons, and the ground underneath all of it. His sister died of a brain tumor. Louisa's father had a stroke in 2019. Both of them have watched this from the other side of the table. *Reduce your risk of Alzheimer's with my science-backed protocol for women 30+:* https://go.neuroathletics.com.au/youtube-sales-page Subscribe to The Neuro Experience for evidence-based conversations at the intersection of brain science, longevity, and performance. _____ *TOPICS DISCUSSED* 00:00 Intro: The Brain Surgeon at Neuralink's First Hospital 00:39 The Guy Who Does the Cases Nobody Else Wants 02:17 A Day in the Life: 5:30am Starts and Three Surgeries 03:20 "Game Tape": Reviewing Every Operation Like an Athlete 04:24 The Surgeon Athlete and Why Surgery Is a Physical Skill 05:32 Fifty Years From Now: What Happens to Neurosurgery 06:11 The ROSA Robot and Mapping a Seizure Focus 08:16 Deep Brain Stimulation and Hitting an Exact Target 08:52 Will We All Be Operated On by Robots? 10:02 The Brain AVM: The One Case a Robot Can't Take 11:18 Why Bleeding Breaks a Robot: The Waymo Problem 13:15 What a Brain-Computer Interface Actually Does 14:49 The Hand Knob: 108 Electrodes in One Small Spot 15:50 Cursor Control at World Record Speed 16:31 Inside the Implant: Threads a Tenth the Width of a Hair 17:27 "No, the Chip Cannot Read Your Thoughts" 17:58 What the Device Really Reads: A Train of Spikes 19:18 From Movement to Sensation: What Comes Next 19:48 Why Restoring Sight Is So Much Harder 20:58 The 1943 Paper That Predicted All of This 22:37 Elon, Telepathy, and What's Actually Possible 23:00 Boosting Creativity and Intelligence in 50 Years 25:10 "When I Retire, We'll Be Treating Depression and Addiction" 26:04 Alzheimer's: Light Therapy and the Blood-Brain Barrier 27:11 Treating the Disease vs Preventing It 28:25 10,000 Operations: How He Feels About Robots Taking Over 29:54 Neuroplasticity: How Nolan's Brain Learned the Device 31:34 What Actually Changes at the Neuron Level 32:04 Patient Two and the Robotic Arm 32:42 5,500 Aneurysms: The Cases That Stay With Him 33:16 Cardiac Standstill: Cooling a Brain to 15 Degrees 35:46 What Separates a Great Surgeon From an Average One 36:17 Traits of Greatness: The Formula Nobody Has Cracked 37:21 The Phone Call in the Middle of a 16-Hour Surgery 39:35 "I Must Have Been Born for This" 41:26 Can You Tell How Old a Brain Is Just by Looking? 43:12 Why Alzheimer's Is Invisible in a Living Brain 44:14 What a Neurosurgeon Does to Protect His Own Brain 44:40 "Alcohol Will Be Viewed Like Cigarettes in the 60s" 45:13 Peptides, Injectables, and Zero Supplements 46:52 The Last Generation to Operate With Open Hands 48:10 How Louisa Found Him on Twitter in 2021 48:53 The Six Mysteries of the Mind 49:14 Which One Gets Solved First, and Which May Never 50:03 Is Consciousness in the Tissue? 51:39 Memory: The Circuitry We Still Can't Explain 53:18 Why Consciousness Is Harder Than Memory 55:12 Louisa's Father's Stroke 56:02 Advice for Anyone Watching a Parent Decline 56:21 His Sister's Brain Tumor and How He Carries It 57:38 A World Where Stroke Is an Outpatient Repair 58:40 Forty Years On, Finally at the Dawn _______ *Thank you to our sponsors* Timeline (Mitopure): https://timeline.com/neuro Mitopure now starts at $79 Ogee: https://ogee.com Use code XXXXX for a discount on the Crystal Contour Collection Kion (Kion Aminos): https://getkion.com/neuro Use code XXXXX for a discount Function Health: https://functionhealth.com/LouisaNicola Use code NEURO25 for a $25 credit _______ I'm Louisa Nicola - clinical neurophysiologist - Alzheimer's prevention specialist - founder of Neuro Athletics.

Over 500 published papers stand behind one of the internet's most popular peptides, but fewer than 30 of the humans studied are in them. Dr. Gabrielle Lyon separates the molecule from the marketplace so you can tell real evidence from good marketing.In this solo episode, Dr. Gabrielle Lyon discusses:Why BPC-157's "mountain of evidence" collapses to a 99.7% animal-to-human ratio - 544 papers, but fewer than 30 humans across three uncontrolled pilot trialsHow to place any peptide on the spectrum from FDA-approved (GLP-1s like semaglutide) to investigational to compounded, and why "GLP-1s work, so peptides work" is a trapWhat the FDA quietly did in April 2026, and why removing a dozen peptides from its safety-concern list was driven by policy pressure, not new safety dataThe 4 questions to run on any peptide before you inject level of evidence, what the study measured, where it's sourced from, and whether it's banned in tested sportWhy the "boring work", resistance training, protein-anchored nutrition, and real recovery beat almost anything in a vialIf something is going into your body through a needle, the standard has to be higher than three words on a label that say "research use only."

When Clint Phillips' young daughter suffered a stroke that left the right side of her body paralyzed, his family was told she might never walk or talk. The search for answers led him to build companies focused on medical second opinions, advanced longevity testing, AI-driven personalization and safer access to emerging therapies. In this episode, Clint sits down with Dr. Josh Axe to discuss how to identify the doctors and health metrics that truly matter, why too much tracking can sometimes make people less healthy, and what his laboratory testing revealed about the purity of popular peptides. They also explore the measurable effects of hope, purpose, gratitude, forgiveness and spiritual grounding—and why optimizing every number on your health dashboard may still leave something essential missing.

Send us Fan MailMitochondrial peptide MOTS-c is a stress-induced signal that reprograms cell metabolism.TOPICS DISCUSSED:Mitochondrial Roles: Not just ATP production, but “speaker of the house” via communication molecules that “talk” to the rest of the cell.Origin of Communication: Mitochondrial peptides were likely co-opted from ancient antimicrobial factors to synchronize nuclear and mitochondrial genomes.MOTC Discovery: Identified in mitochondrial ribosomal RNA regions linked to interferon responses.Stress Induction: MOTS-c is produced in response to exercise, immune activation, and nutrient withdrawal; circulates as a mitokine.Nuclear Regulation: MOTS-c translocates to the nucleus under stress and acts as a nonspecific cofactor that shapes chromatin accessibility and gene expression.Metabolic Effects: Prevents diet-induced obesity and fatty liver in mice without altering baseline weight; engages AMPK and suppresses anabolic pathways.Immune Modulation: Shifts immune cell programs to reduce autoimmune attack in type 1 diabetes models.Aging Phenotypes: Daily or intermittent dosing doubles running capacity and preserves walking ability in old mice.ABOUT THE GUEST: Changhan David Lee, PhD is Associate Professor at the University of Southern California Leonard Davis School of Gerontology.

What happens when health advice starts looking more like entertainment than medicine? In this episode, Farley and Jennifer examine the growing influence of social media on the way people approach wellness, beauty, supplements, fitness, and medical treatments.They explain how influencers, celebrity endorsements, discount codes, and carefully designed algorithms can make a product feel trustworthy, even when the person promoting it has no medical expertise. The conversation covers peptides, GLP-1 medications, supplements, wearable health trackers, dangerous viral trends, and the risks of buying unregulated products through gray-market sources.Listeners will learn why a personal success story is not the same as scientific evidence, how health data can become an unhealthy obsession, and why no wellness protocol works for everyone. Farley and Jennifer encourage listeners to research ingredients, understand possible side effects, get baseline bloodwork, and give a qualified medical professional the chance to weigh in.The episode closes by honoring Paris Hilton for turning her influence into advocacy and reminding us not to judge someone solely by their public image.Episode Highlights:(0:00) Intro(1:12) Why social media health advice is risky(4:41) Celebrity influence and questionable brand deals(7:22) The appeal of instant wellness solutions(8:51) How Paris Hilton shaped influencer culture(12:21) Peptides, GLP-1s, and online health products(14:09) How algorithms turn attention into sales(16:47) When health technology becomes an obsession(19:12) Why wellness is never one-size-fits-all(24:33) Bloodwork, research, and medical guidance(28:12) Dangerous health trends affecting young people(32:28) How to judge wellness endorsements(38:39) Paris Hilton's advocacy and Got Grit Award(45:40) OutroSend us Fan MailSupport the showFollow us:Web: https://girlsgonegritty.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/girlsgonegritty/More ways to find us: https://linktr.ee/girlsgonegritty

Are you chasing longevity hacks while missing the habits that actually change your health? Everyone wants the shortcut. The GLP-1. The fasting protocol. The supplement. The perfect biomarker. The next thing that promises better energy, better body composition, and a longer life. But the real issue is that most people are drowning in information and still missing what actually moves the needle. Your body is not random. Muscle affects insulin sensitivity. Movement changes how glucose gets used. Sleep impacts recovery. Fasting can be powerful when it is done strategically. And the right biomarkers can show you risks that "normal" lab work may completely miss. Once you understand the why behind the habit, you stop guessing and start making smarter decisions. In this episode of Habits and Hustle, I sit down with Dr. Jonathan Schoeff, surgeon, longevity expert, and co-founder of The Longevity Lab, to break down the real science behind GLP-1s, muscle loss, fasting, testosterone, grip strength, key biomarkers, movement, sleep, and what actually supports long-term health. What's Discussed: (1:26:03) Why GLP-1s are more nuanced than the muscle loss headlines suggest. (1:30:31) How strategic fasting can support fat loss without sacrificing muscle. (1:33:09) Why fasting activates repair pathways and metabolic flexibility. (1:39:26) What fasting actually does to insulin, ketosis, and fat burning. (1:42:29) Why random five-day fasts may not work the way people think. (1:55:24) How to structure a pre-fast, fast, and post-fast day. (1:57:02) Why walking after your last meal can change glucose and insulin response. (2:09:31) How metabolic dysfunction can drive low testosterone in men. (2:23:29) What biomarkers most doctors miss, including fasting insulin and lipoprotein(a). (2:31:23) Why grip strength is an overhyped longevity metric and what matters more.

Urologist Dr. Alex Tatum on Girth Enhancement, Testosterone, and Peptide Therapy Most men will never ask their doctor the questions this episode answers. From safe, non-surgical girth enhancement to daily testosterone dosing to the peptides fighting for FDA access right now, this conversation covers what actually works, what's dangerous, and what your doctor probably won't bring up first. Host Dave Asprey sits down with Dr. Alex Tatem, a board-certified urologist with fellowship training in male sexual and reproductive medicine. Dr. Tatem has built his practice and his YouTube following around pushing medicine beyond what the traditional medical establishment allows, with a focus on male girth enhancement, performance enhancement, peptides, and PEDs. They break down the real science behind penis enhancement, including why length surgery still does not exist, how hyaluronic acid injections safely increase girth, and why silicone and PMMA fillers have left men permanently disfigured. Dave and Dr. Tatem also get into cutting-edge testosterone dosing strategies, the peptides driving the biggest gains in human performance and longevity, including BPC-157, TB-500, SS-31, and MOTS-c, and why PT-141 has become the most talked-about peptide for libido and sexual health. You'll Learn: Why hyaluronic acid injections have become the safest, most reproducible method for girth enhancement The truth about penis enlargement surgery, and why length enhancement still has no reliable surgical fix How daily microdosed testosterone compares to traditional weekly TRT protocols Why PT-141 and melanotan II are being used for libido, nitric oxide release, and even prostate health How BPC-157, TB-500, SS-31, and MOTS-c are changing recovery, mitochondria function, and metabolism The dangerous enhancement trends to avoid, including silicone implants and unregulated fillers Why the fight over peptide access at the FDA could determine the future of functional medicine and supplements in America Thank you to our sponsors! - Just Thrive | Get a free 90-day supply of Digestive Bitters (a $90 value) when you start a 90-day Just Thrive Probiotic subscription at https://get.justthrivehealth.com/pages/asprey - KILLSwitch | If you're ready for the best sleep of your life, order now at https://www.switchsupplements.com/and use code DAVE for 20% off - PredictiveMind™ | Get your Brain Pattern Mapping report at predictivemind.io/dave and use code DAVE for 10% off. - ALP | Head to http://alppouch.com/ and use code DAVE for 20% off your first order.

Ask most people what a brain chip does and they will tell you it reads your mind. Dr. Michael Lawton implants these devices, and he says that is not what comes off them. He is President and CEO of Barrow Neurological Institute in Phoenix, the hospital where Neuralink's first human implant was performed, and he has completed more than 10,000 brain operations and clipped around 5,500 aneurysms. Louisa sat down with him inside Barrow to find out what the electrodes actually pick up, how far the technology has come, and where it stops. He walks through the surgery itself. The device goes into the hand knob, one small lobule of the motor cortex, where 64 electrodes have already become 108. The threads carrying them are about a tenth the thickness of a hair, so a robot inserts them while avoiding every arteriole on the surface. You'll hear what Nolan Arbaugh, Neuralink's first patient, can now do with a cursor at world record speed, and why Lawton can't keep up with him in a head to head. *Reduce your risk of Alzheimer's with my science-backed protocol for women 30+:* https://go.neuroathletics.com.au/youtube-sales-page Subscribe to The Neuro Experience for evidence-based conversations at the intersection of brain science, longevity, and performance. _____ *TOPICS DISCUSSED* 00:00 Intro: The Brain Surgeon at Neuralink's First Hospital 00:39 The Guy Who Does the Cases Nobody Else Wants 02:17 A Day in the Life: 5:30am Starts and Three Surgeries 03:20 "Game Tape": Reviewing Every Operation Like an Athlete 04:24 The Surgeon Athlete and Why Surgery Is a Physical Skill 05:32 Fifty Years From Now: What Happens to Neurosurgery 06:11 The ROSA Robot and Mapping a Seizure Focus 08:16 Deep Brain Stimulation and Hitting an Exact Target 08:52 Will We All Be Operated On by Robots? 10:02 The Brain AVM: The One Case a Robot Can't Take 11:18 Why Bleeding Breaks a Robot: The Waymo Problem 13:15 What a Brain-Computer Interface Actually Does 14:49 The Hand Knob: 108 Electrodes in One Small Spot 15:50 Cursor Control at World Record Speed 16:31 Inside the Implant: Threads a Tenth the Width of a Hair 17:27 "No, the Chip Cannot Read Your Thoughts" 17:58 What the Device Really Reads: A Train of Spikes 19:18 From Movement to Sensation: What Comes Next 19:48 Why Restoring Sight Is So Much Harder 20:58 The 1943 Paper That Predicted All of This 22:37 Elon, Telepathy, and What's Actually Possible 23:00 Boosting Creativity and Intelligence in 50 Years 25:10 "When I Retire, We'll Be Treating Depression and Addiction" 26:04 Alzheimer's: Light Therapy and the Blood-Brain Barrier 27:11 Treating the Disease vs Preventing It 28:25 10,000 Operations: How He Feels About Robots Taking Over 29:54 Neuroplasticity: How Nolan's Brain Learned the Device 31:34 What Actually Changes at the Neuron Level 32:04 Patient Two and the Robotic Arm 32:42 5,500 Aneurysms: The Cases That Stay With Him 33:16 Cardiac Standstill: Cooling a Brain to 15 Degrees 35:46 What Separates a Great Surgeon From an Average One 36:17 Traits of Greatness: The Formula Nobody Has Cracked 37:21 The Phone Call in the Middle of a 16-Hour Surgery 39:35 "I Must Have Been Born for This" 41:26 Can You Tell How Old a Brain Is Just by Looking? 43:12 Why Alzheimer's Is Invisible in a Living Brain 44:14 What a Neurosurgeon Does to Protect His Own Brain 44:40 "Alcohol Will Be Viewed Like Cigarettes in the 60s" 45:13 Peptides, Injectables, and Zero Supplements 46:52 The Last Generation to Operate With Open Hands 48:10 How Louisa Found Him on Twitter in 2021 48:53 The Six Mysteries of the Mind 49:14 Which One Gets Solved First, and Which May Never 50:03 Is Consciousness in the Tissue? 51:39 Memory: The Circuitry We Still Can't Explain 53:18 Why Consciousness Is Harder Than Memory 55:12 Louisa's Father's Stroke 56:02 Advice for Anyone Watching a Parent Decline 56:21 His Sister's Brain Tumor and How He Carries It 57:38 A World Where Stroke Is an Outpatient Repair 58:40 Forty Years On, Finally at the Dawn _______ *Thank you to our sponsors* Timeline (Mitopure): https://timeline.com/neuro Mitopure now starts at $79 Ogee: https://ogee.com Use code NEURO for a discount on the Crystal Contour Collection Kion (Kion Aminos): https://getkion.com/neuro for a 20% discount Function Health: https://functionhealth.com/LouisaNicola Use code NEURO25 for a $25 credit _______ I'm Louisa Nicola - clinical neurophysiologist - Alzheimer's prevention specialist - founder of Neuro Athletics.
