In this episode of Longevity by Design, host Dr. Gil Blander sits down with Dr. Nathan Price, Professor and Co-Director at the Buck Institute for Research on Aging. Together, they explore how systems biology, artificial intelligence, and deep health data are changing the way we approach aging and prevention. Nathan explains why looking at single biomarkers falls short and why a network view of biology gives a clearer path to understanding disease and resilience.Nathan shares how new tools, like genetics, proteomics, and the emerging field of digital twins, can help predict disease risk years in advance and guide more effective, personalized interventions. He also discusses how integrating data from wearables, blood tests, and the microbiome can help people move from reactive medicine to proactive health decisions, allowing for interventions that fit the individual.The conversation highlights the promise and practical limits of current technologies, the trade-offs involved in optimizing health, and the power of AI to accelerate both research and personal health journeys. Nathan makes a strong case for the unique biology each person brings to the table and shows how the tools available today can help anyone take charge of their own healthspan in ways not possible before.Guest-at-a-Glance

In this episode of the Glowing Older podcast, host Nancy Griffin interviews Dr. Kenneth Pelletier, a clinical professor of medicine and psychiatry at UCSF, about the science of longevity and the role of epigenetics. Dr. Pelletier shares insights into the importance of healthspan over lifespan, and the impact of diet, stress, exercise, and social support on longevity. He also discusses the potential and limitations of biohacking and the growing field of integrative medicine. About Dr. Pelletier Kenneth R. Pelletier, PhD, MD is a Clinical Professor of Medicine, Department of Medicine; Department of Family and Community Medicine; and Department of Psychiatry at the University of California School of Medicine (UCSF) in San Francisco; and a Clinical Professor of Medicine in the Department of Medicine and Department Family and Community Medicine at the University of Arizona School of Medicine in Tucson. At the present time, Dr. Pelletier is a medical and business consultant to the US Department of Health and Human Services, the World Health Organization (WHO), the National Business Group on Health, the Federation of State Medical Boards, the Wild Dolphin Project, and major corporations including Cisco, IBM, American Airlines, Prudential, Dow, Disney, Ford, Mercer, Merck, Pepsico, Ford, Pfizer, Walgreens, NASA, Microsoft ENCARTA, Blue Cross/Blue Shield, United Healthcare, Health Net, the Pasteur Institute of Lille, France, the Alpha Group of Mexico, and the Singapore Ministry of Health. He also serves on the boards of the Rancho la Puerta (Mexico), Nova Institute, Fries Foundation, American Institute of Stress (AIS), American Journal of Health Promotion (AJHP), as a Founding Board Member of the American Board of Integrative Medicine (ABOIM), and as a peer reviewer for the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), the Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine (JOEM), Annals of Internal Medicine, Health Affairs, and webMD. Dr. Pelletier is listed in Who's Who in America and in Who's Who in the World. He has been featured on ABC World News, the Today program, Good Morning America, Dr Oz, the CBS Evening News, 48 Hours, the McNeil-Lehrer Newshour, CNN, FOX News, and CBS Sunday Morning.Dr. Pelletier is the author of 15 major books including the international bestseller Mind as Healer, Mind as Slayer; Holistic Medicine: From Stress to Optimum Health; Longevity: Fulfilling Our Biological Potential; Healthy People in Unhealthy Places; Stress and Fitness at Work; Sound Mind – Sound Body: A New Model for Lifelong Health; The Best Alternative Medicine: What Works? What Does Not?; Stress Free for Good: Ten Scientifically Proven Life Skills for Health and Happiness; New Medicine: How to Integrate Conventional and Alternative Medicine for the Safest and Most Effective Treatment and Change Your Genes – Change Your Life: Creating Optimal Health with the New Science ofEpigenetics.Key TakeawaysEpigenetics is a relatively new science, developed in the last 15 years. Epigenetics are all of the influences that determine our health, wellbeing, and life expectancy after the sperm and ovum unite. Epigenetics plays a crucial role in determining health and life expectancy – 95 % of health, illness, and life expectancy are due to factors other than our genes. The role of diet, stress, physical activity and social support significantly influence genetic expression.There are no longitudinal studies for biohacking. Don'tgo into the periphery and engage in questionable practices. Sort hope from hype.Equal criteria for evaluating the outcomes of alternative and conventional medicine must be applied; both should be held to the same rigorous scientific standards to ensure their acceptability and effectiveness.
Send us your desired health topic or guest suggestionsWe sit down with Hunter Ziesing, co-founder of Longevity Health, to unpack a physician-led model that blends advanced diagnostics, an AI voice agent, and real-world incentives to help people increase health span, not just lifespan. Hunter shares why the next step is going to be bringing those benefits to everyone at an affordable price point.We dig into the tests that actually move the needle, including expanded blood panels tuned to your age and goals, DEXA scans and VO2 max to gauge cardiorespiratory fitness. Hunter explains how quarterly retesting and biomarker tracking create a loop of feedback and motivation so people make changes they can measure. You'll hear a live demo of Jesse AI, a secure voice agent that reads your records, summarizes results, suggests next steps, while keeping a physician in the loop to ensure accuracy and clinical oversight.Data ownership and privacy anchor the model. Patients control their records; employers only see aggregated insights to guide targeted benefits without exposing personal details. We explore how gamification and social accountability nudge consistent habits, and why AI won't replace doctors yet. We also address mental health, stress, and the plan to connect people with modalities that fit their needs instead of one-size-fits-all advice.Ready to take control of your health span?

People increasingly seek personalized health care and wellness because they recognize that every individual's body, genetics, lifestyle, and emotional makeup are unique. Traditional one-size-fits-all approaches often fail to address these personal differences, leading to frustration and limited results. Personalized care tailors prevention, nutrition, exercise, and treatment plans to each person's specific needs and goals—improving effectiveness, satisfaction, and long-term health outcomes. Advances in genetics, wearable technology, and data-driven insights now make it possible to understand individuals more deeply than ever before, empowering people to take an active role in their well-being and fostering a sense of ownership, trust, and motivation in their health journey.

In this episode we speak with Kristin Grayce McGary (LAc., MAc., CFMP®, CST-T, CLP) and explore functional blood work—a deeper, more holistic way of interpreting lab results. Instead of just looking for illness, functional testing helps us understand where the body may be out of balance, often long before symptoms become serious. From nutrient deficiencies and hormone imbalances to hidden inflammation and stress markers, functional blood work can be a powerful tool for creating truly personalized health plans. Kristen Grayce is an internationally recognized health and lifestyle alchemist, author, and speaker. She weaves together 28 years of experience, education, wisdom, and compassion to empower you to reconnect, reawaken, and rejuvenate on all levels She is an authority on autoimmunity, functional blood chemistry analysis, thyroid and gut health, family healthcare, food as medicine, integrating mind/body/spirit in health & soulcare, and is initiated into several lineages of shamanic practices. In her alchemical practice of individualized health & soulcare, she has mastered dozens of modalities including acupuncture and Asian medicine, advanced craniosacral and somatoemotional release, neural and perineural therapy, homeopathy, functional healthcare, family constellation, medical Qi Gong, Psychosomatics, meditation, shamanic ceremony, and more. She is the author of Holistic Keto for Gut Health: A Program for Resetting your Metabolism and Know Your Blood, Know Your Health; Prevent Disease and Enjoy Vibrant Health Through Functional Blood Chemistry Analysis. Her upcoming book is on Blocks to Healing and how to resolve them quickly. Learning Points: What is functional bloodwork? How does functional bloodwork go beyond conventional testing? Why do ‘optimal' ranges matter more than 'normal' ones? Social Media https://kristingraycemcgary.com/ https://www.instagram.com/Kristingraycemcgary/ https://www.facebook.com/kristingraycemcgary/

Ever catch yourself crushing in business…but low-key running on fumes? Like you're pushing hard, but your body's throwing quiet warnings you can't quite decode? In this episode of The Happy Hustle Podcast, I'm resharing a powerful Guest Guru training from inside The Happy Hustle Club—our private community featuring Justin Roethlingshoefer, Celebrity Health Expert and Founder of Own It Coaching. Justin doesn't sell hacks; he engineers paradigm shifts. His mission: help leaders stop sacrificing health for the mission and start running their bodies like their business.Justin's story is raw and real. As a kid, he battled both obesity and anorexia and even faced liver and kidney failure at 16. That pain turned into purpose: two undergrads, a master's, pro hockey, a doctorate's worth of research on sleep and heart rate variability (HRV), plus deep training in functional medicine and cellular healing. He went on to become Director of Player Performance in the NHL, then stepped away after a personal health scare (precancerous polyps and a bleeding ulcer) to build Own It Coaching with his wife—a 50-person team now guiding 3,500+ high-performing founders and creators. They even built “The Health Haven” in Miami to show people how to live differently, daily. Why it matters: Justin is the rare coach who blends faith, science, and systems so your health outcomes become inevitable, not accidental.Here's what you'll learn in a nutshell:HRV is the language of your body. A higher HRV = better adaptation to stress.Oxygen is step one. VO₂ max isn't just for athletes—it's a wellness vital.Sleep is your detox system. Quality beats quantity.Fix the base before the boosters. Symptoms (low T, poor sleep, brain fog) rarely mean you “need more hormones.” Hormones open pathways; vitamins, minerals, and amino acids create the raw materials.Consistent + intentional behaviors over time = inevitable outcomes. If you're ready to go deeper and hear Justin's full training—the stories, the frameworks, and the practical protocols—hit play on the episode and let's level up your health, leadership, and longevity together.

What do the stubborn body fat you can't seem to lose, your hormones, and metabolic health all have in common? Well…a lot! If you're nearing perimenopause or menopause, you can't miss this conversation. In this episode, host Jenn Trepeck dives into a candid and clarifying conversation with leading health and wellness expert Ashley Fillmore. Ashley is the founder and president of Metabolic Fix and host of the Cheers to Your Success podcast. With nearly 20 years of experience, she helps women heal their metabolism, achieve hormone balance, and support lasting body composition changes. Together, they unpack why so many women still feel lost in the noise of wellness advice and how to make sense of what they're experiencing day-to-day, at each phase of their cycle and even as their cycles change.. This episode is all about discovering your hormone balance, transforming your body composition, and redefining what true health looks and feels like.The Salad With a Side of Fries podcast is hosted by Jenn Trepeck, who discusses wellness and weight loss for real life, clearing up the myths, misinformation, bad science & marketing surrounding our nutrition knowledge and the food industry. Let's dive into wellness and weight loss for real life, including drinking, eating out, and skipping the grocery store.IN THIS EPISODE: (05:36) Ashley Filmore explains how she made the health, hormone balance, and body composition space her life's work(09:01) Ashley shares her experience with unhealthy dieting and deprivation(14:28) The number on the scale versus body composition, muscle mass, body fat percentage, and lean muscle(18:39) How certain hormones and body fat distribution correlate, and the importance of tracking your cycle(28:55) Ashley discusses symptoms that may indicate hormone imbalance(35:56) Adjustments to fitness routines and nutrition during your cycle(43:39) Other reasons your hormones can be depletedKEY TAKEAWAYS:The scale doesn't define health, but body composition does: A lower number on the scale doesn't accurately reflect your physical or mental well-being. Proper health is better measured by the balance between lean muscle mass and body fat percentage, which is significantly influenced by hormones that also determine where fat is stored—for example, cortisol can be associated with belly fat, insulin has been linked to love handles, and estrogen is often associated with weight stored in the hips and the lower belly.Where fat accumulates on your body can reveal significant hormonal imbalances, guiding lifestyle and nutritional changes as well as potential hormonal imbalances. Plus, even with a calorie deficit and strength training, stubborn fat won't budge unless you focus on nutrient-dense, whole foods—because it's not just about calories, but the quality of what you eat.Using cycle-tracking apps or devices like the Oura Ring helps women understand their hormonal rhythms, especially as cycles become irregular during perimenopause. By listening to your body, tracking symptoms, and identifying hormonal imbalances, you can tailor your nutrition, exercise, and recovery strategies to align with your current hormonal state, optimizing energy, mood, metabolism, and overall health.Walking and strength training are effective, low-stress ways to support hormonal and metabolic health, especially during perimenopause and menopause. Walking is a free, accessible exercise that improves body composition, hormonal balance, and mental well-being, while intense workouts may be too stressful when hormone levels are low. Incorporating gentle movements, such as yoga, and traditional strength training with compound exercises 2–3 times per week can help maintain health without overexertion.QUOTES: (25:34) “Get to know your body and your baseline, what's normal for you, as opposed to what your doctor might say is normal or common.” - Jenn Trepeck(16:57) “Your hormones matter. It's impacting everything: muscle mass, your body fat percentage and where your body fat is distributed on your body.” Ashley Fillmore(41:55) “Pay attention to how you feel because you may not be textbook, you may be a little outside of what I just mentioned, and that could be normal for you.” Ashley Fillmore(42:48) "The walking, the yoga, the more gentle exercises are probably going to be more effective and feel better when we're in that perimenopause or menopause phase.” - Jenn TrepeckRESOURCES:Become A Member of Salad with a Side of FriesJenn's Free Menu PlanA Salad With a Side of FriesA Salad With A Side Of Fries MerchA Salad With a Side of Fries InstagramCheers to Your Success!

In this episode of Longevity by Design, host Dr. Gil Blander welcomes Dr. Eran Segal, Professor at the Weizmann Institute of Science, to explore the intersection of artificial intelligence (AI) and personalized health. The conversation dives into how AI and machine learning are transforming our understanding of nutrition, disease prediction, and overall longevity. Eran provides a clear overview of AI, machine learning, and deep learning, explaining how these technologies can be applied to various health domains.Eran discusses the potential of AI agents in healthcare, such as scheduling appointments, managing medications, and even creating personalized dietary recommendations. He highlights the importance of data in training AI models, noting that the healthcare industry lags behind in publicly available and diverse data sets. The 10K Initiative, a project Eran leads, aims to address this issue by collecting comprehensive data on individuals to build more holistic AI models for personalized health.Gil and Eran consider the future, envisioning AI-powered digital twins that can simulate the impact of lifestyle changes on disease development. While AI offers exciting possibilities, Eran cautions against over-reliance, emphasizing the need for continued human oversight and validation. He reiterates that the foundation of longevity still relies on simple habits: sleep well, eat well, and exercise regularly.Guest-at-a-Glance

Dr. Alok Trivedi, known as Dr. Rewire, joined me for an insightful conversation that shifted the way we view traditional healthcare and approaches to personal development. His journey from a busy clinic to a unique focus on rewiring the brain emphasizes how our thoughts influence our health, success, and overall well-being. Dr. Trivedi shared inspiring stories, including his personal challenges and how he overcame them by adjusting his mindset and behavioral patterns.Dr. Trivedi's JourneyDr. Trivedi began his career in personal training, physical therapy, and chiropractic school. Although he achieved success, he realized that many of his patients' problems stemmed from their emotions and beliefs. When a recurring patient showed pain relief by simply answering questions about stressors in his life, Dr. Trivedi found his new passion. He transitions from physical treatment to helping clients rewire their brains to address their challenges.The Power of the MindDr. Trivedi argues that the brain holds the key to controlling physical health. By addressing emotional and mental hurdles, he believes individuals can solve physical pains and achieve personal success. Through his method known as rewiring, Dr. Trivedi shows how changing thought patterns can lead to better health and life situations. One of his clients, an Emmy-winning friend, found renewed success and happiness through Dr. Trivedi's system.Traditional Goal Setting vs. Neurological ApproachDr. Trivedi criticizes traditional goal setting, such as SMART goals, for failing to consider the brain's natural processes. He explains that ambitious goals often lead to stress and dissatisfaction. By focusing on smaller, manageable improvements, individuals avoid the neurological rollercoaster of dopamine spikes and crashes. Instead of setting goals that "scare you," Dr. Trivedi promotes sustainable, incremental progress.Five Pillars of HealthAchieving health and well-being requires more than just physical fitness. Dr. Trivedi emphasizes the importance of five pillars: mind, body, diet, sleep, and wealth. Starting with mental clarity and a balanced diet leads to restful sleep and physical health, ultimately culminating in true wealth—both financial and emotional. He stresses the need to manage stress and maintain balance to prevent chronic health issues.Personalized Health and the Brain DNA TestUnderstanding personal genetics plays a crucial role in optimizing health. Dr. Trivedi offers a Brain DNA test that analyzes an individual's genetic predispositions to various neurotransmitters. This personalized approach helps tailor lifestyle and dietary choices to one's unique genetic code, leading to better health and happiness.Links:Brain DNA TestDr. Rewire WebsiteDr. Rewire InstagramDaily Practices for Balance and SuccessDr. Trivedi advocates for a structured daily routine to ensure a balance between work, personal wellness, and family. Break the day into manageable parts, starting with self-care (mindfulness, exercise), work, family time, and finally, some personal downtime. This routine helps regulate stress levels and keeps the mind focused and calm.In closing, Dr. Trivedi imparts that rewiring the brain is a viable path to personal transformation, allowing us to control emotions, reduce stress, and lead healthier, more fulfilling lives.Two Other Episodes You Should Check OutDr. Paul Savage: Are You A Toxic...

Have you ever wondered how much your body is telling you—and what you might be missing? Could looking at one more metric from your wearable device, like heart rate variability (HRV), unlock the secrets to better sleep, reduced stress, and improved overall health? In this episode of Salad with a Side of Fries, Jenn Trepeck welcomes Dr. Torkil Færø, a GP, emergency physician, author of The Pulse Cure, and advocate for the transformative power of wearables in health optimization. Torkil shares his journey of exploring devices like Whoop and Garmin to uncover hidden stressors, track heart rate variability (HRV), and make meaningful lifestyle changes that dramatically improve health. From understanding the connection between HRV and chronic stress to identifying surprising factors like late-night meals and alcohol that impact sleep and recovery, this conversation dives deep into how wearables can enhance our understanding of the body. Dr. Færø also discusses HRV's role in improving PMS symptoms, offers actionable advice for boosting HRV, and explains why personalized data is key to unlocking better health. The Salad With a Side of Fries podcast is hosted by Jenn Trepeck, discussing wellness and weight loss for real life, clearing up the myths, misinformation, bad science & marketing surrounding our nutrition knowledge and the food industry. Let's dive into wellness and weight loss for real life, including drinking, eating out, and skipping the grocery store. IN THIS EPISODE: [6:04] Dr. Færø explains why he began to focus on wearables[11:26] Humans can't sense our inner stress levels[14:55] Heart rate numbers are individual, and the connection between low heart rate and disease[23:34] Unexpected sources of stress and the sleep connection[29:21] How heart rate variability can improve PMS symptoms[32:45] Dr. Faero gives advice to see improvement in heart rate variabilityKEY TAKEAWAYS: HRV is a powerful tool for tracking stress and overall health. By using wearables to monitor HRV, individuals can learn how lifestyle choices—like diet, alcohol intake, and exercise—affect their bodies. A higher HRV typically reflects a restful, adaptive state, while a lower HRV may indicate chronic stress or other concerns. Notably, the focus is on individual patterns and baselines rather than comparing numbers with others, ensuring a personalized approach to health tracking.Wearables can uncover hidden stressors, like inflammatory foods or alcohol, that traditional medical training can overlook. By making informed changes, such as reducing alcohol intake, eating earlier dinners, and incorporating stress management techniques like breathwork or cold plunges. These tools serve as a modern extension of human senses, allowing users to “listen” to their bodies in ways evolution never equipped us for.Eating late or consuming alcohol can lower heart rate variability (HRV), resulting in less restorative sleep, even if total sleep hours are unchanged. To improve sleep quality, it's essential to wind down 1–2 hours before bedtime through calming activities like meditation, dimming lights, and avoiding late-night meals or alcohol. Additionally, keeping the bedroom cool (around 67–68°F) enhances sleep quality, as seen through wearable HRV data.Wearables provide insight into stress and health management. Devices like Whoop and Garmin track HRV, offering data on recovery, stress levels, and readiness for physical or mental exertion. This information can help prevent burnout by signaling when stress levels are unsustainable and encouraging proactive adjustments like yoga, better sleep habits, or dietary changes. For women, these wearables have even been used to manage PMS symptoms by identifying stress patterns and adjusting activities accordingly.QUOTES: [7:02] “I understood that there was a metric called heart rate variability that could show and track these improvements. So if I did something good for my health, that will be revealed in the heart rate.” Dr. Færø[10:36] “Heart rate variability essentially shows the time between heartbeats. We want that number to be higher, right? When that number is higher, there's greater variability between those heartbeats, it's a sign of the body being in a restful state where it can adapt to whatever is coming at us.” Jenn Trepeck[12:28] “I think the piece that's really important for all of us is to recognize is the body can be in a stress response, even when we don't intellectually register stress.” - Jenn Trepeck[24:35] “Heart rate variability and sleep are intimately connected.” - Jenn Trepeck[35:20] “Breathe slowly; nobody will notice if you're in a meeting, or if you're on a phone call. Slow down your breath, and close your eyes so that throughout the day, you calm your nervous system down.” Dr. Færø[37:06] “It's only when you get sick, that's when your health depends on your wallet.” Dr. Færø"It's like you have a speedometer for your physiology." - Torkil FærøRESOURCES:Become A Member of Salad with a Side of FriesJenn's Free Menu PlanA Salad With a Side of FriesA Salad With A Side Of Fries MerchA Salad With a Side of Fries InstagramSheMD WebsiteSheMD on SpotifySheMD on YouTubeGUEST RESOURCES:The Pulse Cure - WebsiteTorkil Faero - InstagramTorkil Faero - FacebookTorkil Faero - LinkedInGUEST BIOGRAPHY: Dr. Torkil Færø is a GP, emergency physician, documentary filmmaker, author, and photographer. Over a 26-year career as a freelance doctor, he has worked all over Norway, had a hundred thousand consultations and thus gained a unique picture of the diseases that plague us. He learned that the cause is most often found in the stresses our lifestyles place on our bodies. When his father died at 73, he realized that he had to change his lifestyle. Being 40 pounds overweight, under-trained, over-stressed, under-slept and drinking alcohol daily, he learned that this lifestyle could deprive him of decades. He found a way to track and regulate his nervous system and physiology using wearables. Færø is an award-winning photographer and author of The Camera Cure and has made TV films about his pilgrimages to Nidaros and Santiago de Compostela. An inveterate traveler, he has visited over 80 countries and speaks eight languages. He lives in Norway.

In today's episode of The Health Fix Podcast, Dr. Jannine Krause tackles the overwhelm of the wellness space. With constant conflicting advice, fear-based messaging, and a daily influx of new health information, how can you know what's right for you? Dr. Krause shares her insights on developing health intuition to guide your decisions based on your unique condition and needs. What You'll Learn in This Episode: The test sequence Dr. Krause uses to help clients identify the root cause of symptoms. How to determine which supplements or foods are best for your body. Why slowing down and asking yourself questions is essential for informed health choices. How to leverage intuition to create personalized wellness protocols. Key Highlights from the Episode: 1. Test Sequence to Identify Symptoms' Root Causes: Dr. Krause introduces a step-by-step method for discerning the source of your symptoms using muscle testing techniques: Muscle Testing (Finger Interlocking Method): Create a "chain link" by interlocking thumb and second fingers from each hand. Ask yes-or-no questions (e.g., "Is this related to a virus, bacteria, stress, etc.?"). If the chain link breaks apart, it's a “yes” or a match to your query; if it holds, it's a “no.” You can use this method to narrow down potential causes and identify next steps, like lab tests or treatments. 2. The Tilt Test for Supplements and Foods: Stand or sit with feet firmly planted. Hold the supplement, food, or product to your chest. Observe your body's reaction: Forward tilt: Your body accepts it. Backward tilt: Your body rejects it. No movement: Your body is neutral toward the item. 3. Intuition and Asking Questions: Take time to ask yourself clear yes-or-no questions about your symptoms, treatments, or next steps. Developing this skill allows you to bypass health noise and confidently focus on what aligns with your body's needs. Resources from the Show: Muscle Testing Techniques: Finger interlocking method. Arm-tapping alternative for strength testing. Tilt Testing: Simple at-home method to evaluate compatibility with supplements or foods. Collaborating with Practitioners: Naturopathic doctors and chiropractors trained in muscle testing can help you refine and validate your findings. Takeaway Message: The path to personalized wellness starts with slowing down, tuning into your body, and asking the right questions. By cultivating your health intuition, you can sift through the noise, trust your instincts, and make decisions that truly serve your unique health journey.
