Hey Diabuddy thank you for listening to show, send me some positive vibes with your favorite part of this episode.Hormones don't get talked about enough in the Type 1 diabetes world — especially male hormones.In this live episode, I sit down with my good friend and colleague Type 1 Diabetic, registered dietitian and functional nutrition expert Kelly Schmidt to unpack testosterone, cortisol, thyroid health, sleep, labs, intimacy, and the systemic impact hormones have on blood sugar, energy, and quality of life.This conversation goes far beyond “low T.”This episode reinforces a powerful truth:Type 1 diabetes is not just a pancreas condition — it's a systems condition.If you've been feeling fatigued, burned out, low energy, low drive, or just “off,” this episode will give you language and direction for your next conversation with your healthcare team.Important Resources We Discussed:Magnesium Glycinate & Other ImpactfulLab Panels - interpreted with a t1d lens (Kelly reads the labs and then explains the results in great detail.)Kelly's Previous Episodes:Diabetes Vulnerabilities - #135Debunking Diabetes Detox Myths - Episode #130Manipulating Your Blood Sugars During The Female Cycle - Episode #123The 5-Pillars to Healthy Blood Sugars - Episode #119Gut Health w/T1D Dietitian - Episode #117Food Sensitivities - Episode #72The Expert Dietitian Series - Part 3 - Episode #44The Expert Dietitian Series - Part 2 - Episode #40The Expert Dietitian Series - Part 1 - Episode #35Why Is Nutrition Important in Diabetes? - Episode #9

It's AMA time again, and this one goes deep.Alyson and I open the floor to your questions, and what unfolds is an honest, vulnerable exploration of self-love, self-worth, and the subtle ways we block ourselves from the lives we say we want. Inspired by a recent 13-hour healing journey, I share some powerful realizations about integrity, honoring myself, and the surprising gap between loving others and truly loving myself.We unpack what self-love actually looks like in practice—not just mirror affirmations, but identifying childhood imprints, dissolving shame, raising standards, and developing discernment in relationships and business. Alyson brings in her perspective on embodied self-respect, parts work, and Internal Family Systems, offering grounded tools for healing old patterns and integrating fractured aspects of ourselves.From there, we shift gears into a fun but revealing conversation about influence and inspiration. I break down some of my favorite podcasts, from countercultural voices and spiritual finance to music deep dives and consciousness explorations, and why challenging my own beliefs is a core part of my growth.We also touch on money, integrity, jealousy, and the tension between spirituality and wealth—exploring how to hold abundance without selling your soul.If you've ever struggled with self-worth, boundaries, or reconciling purpose with prosperity, this episode offers reflection, humor, and a few hard-earned insights from the trenches.Get the Animal Power book and deck, plus a free guided drumming shamanic journey to meet your power animal, at alysoncharles.com/animalpower.DISCLAIMER: This podcast is for educational purposes only and not intended for diagnosing or treating illnesses.

Big update! What happened to the dog Klein found wandering the streets near the studio yesterday? The job of finding the owner went to Ally after Jake, Johnny, Klein and Vanessa turned down the responsibility. You gotta listen to the full story, including a live call from the dog's owner! Michael from Evolve Anti-Aging came back to read the results of yesterday's Testosterone test, and you will not believe how it panned out. We have a new most masculine person on the show, and it's definitely not the person you'd expect. This person won their T amount in dollar form, and the person with the LOWEST t on the show won a new nickname! #joannie We also FINALLY got a payoff for Bathroom Interviews, a bit Kevin Ryder pitched to Klein two weeks ago. We listen to the audio with Ryder on the line and he pitches yet another bit to reboot next.
Taboo to Truth: Unapologetic Conversations About Sexuality in Midlife
Half of men over 40 will experience erectile dysfunction.In this episode, I explain why ED is rarely only about sex. I walk you through what erections actually reveal about cardiovascular health, metabolic function, hormones, pelvic floor tension, and fertility.I break down why urologists call the penis a barometer of heart health. The blood vessels that support erections are smaller than the ones that support your heart and brain. That means they often show damage earlier. In many cases, ED appears years before a heart attack or stroke.I also talk about diabetes, high cholesterol, nitric oxide, testosterone shifts, excess body fat, and sperm quality after 40. We cover pelvic floor tension in men and why many men struggle with tight muscles, not weak ones.I share evidence informed tools some men use while they work on underlying health. These are not cures. They are supports.Most importantly, I reframe ED as information. Not shame. Not failure.

Sexual medicine is underfunded, misunderstood, and often dismissed. But it's also one of the most collaborative fields in healthcare. Dr. Tami Rowen recaps this year's ISSWSH conference and what it revealed about where the field is heading.Dr. Rowen is the current president elect of ISSWSH and has been instrumental in shaping sexual medicine education and research. We recorded this right after the 2026 ISSWSH conference in Long Beach, which had almost 600 attendeesone of our biggest conferences yet.We discuss the standout research from the meeting, including award winning work on sexual function after gender-affirming hysterectomy and why most top abstracts focused on sexual pleasure rather than prevention. We talk about the reality of research funding in sexual medicine, why industry support creates conflicts of interest that look bigger than they are, and how lack of NIH funding means we have almost no treatment options for conditions like vulvodynia.We also dive into testosterone therapy why it's controversial, what the data actually shows versus what social media claims, and why Dr. Rowen doesn't treat hormone levels but rather treats individuals with specific goals. We discuss body image after breast cancer surgery, lymphedema's impact on sexual function, and why technoference is contributing to the lowest rates of sex we've ever seen.HighlightsISSWSH focuses on sexual pleasure and quality of life, not just prevention of pregnancy and STIs.Research funding for vulvodynia is $4 million annually versus $800 million for breast cancerthat's one grant versus hundreds.Testosterone therapy should treat symptoms and goals, not hormone levels or deficiencies.Body image and sexual function outcomes are significantly worse after mastectomy versus lumpectomy, even though cancer outcomes are equal.Technoference (technology interference) is contributing to historically low rates of sexual activity.If you're a clinician interested in sexual medicine, consider attending the ISSWSH Fall Course for foundational education and the annual meeting for cutting-edge research. If you're a patient navigating any issues and not currently getting help, know that there are practitioners out there who want to help you.Subscribe to the podcast and share this episode with anyone who wants to learn more about sexual medicine, menopause, or women's health education.Get in Touch with Dr. RowenWebsiteInstagramGet in Touch with Me: WebsiteInstagramYoutubeSubstackMentioned in this episode:GSM CollectiveThe GSM Collective - Chicago Boutique concierge gynecology practice Led by Dr. Sameena Rahman, specialist in sexual medicine & menopause Unrushed appointments in a beautiful, private setting Personalized care for women's health, hormones, and pelvic floor issues Multiple membership options available Ready for personalized women's healthcare?

In this Huberman Lab Essentials episode, I explore how different wavelengths of light affect the human body and how light exposure can improve sleep quality, mood and daytime alertness while supporting healthy hormone regulation. I also discuss the therapeutic use of ultraviolet and infrared/red light for a wide variety of benefits, including improved skin health and offsetting age-related vision loss. I explain the biological mechanisms behind these light-based therapies and offer practical tools that listeners can use to improve both their mental and physical well-being.

It was an exciting start to the morning when Klein came across a dog running across the street in a residential neighborhood. Klein stopped traffic, heroically forced the dog into his car and brought it to the studio. We now have a brown cocker spaniel that is terrified of all of us. Is this your dog? See pics and video @kleinallyshow on IG and YouTube. She took a shit in our parking garage. We also all got jabbed today by the guys at Evolve Anti-Aging, a place that specialized is Testosterone replacement therapy. We all got our blood drawn live on the air and the person with the highest T count will win the dollar equivalent of their level. 500ng = $500!!

Send a textHow the body's internal circadian clocks regulate metabolism, energy balance, and health.TOPICS DISCUSSED:Master circadian clock in the brain: Light detection via retina entrains the suprachiasmatic nucleus, which coordinates body-wide rhythms; intrinsic period slightly deviates from 24 hours, allowing seasonal flexibility.Peripheral clocks in organs: Nearly all cells have autonomous clocks; liver and fat clocks rapidly adjust to feeding time, while brain clock aligns more tightly to light.Clock mutations and metabolism: Disrupting core clock genes (e.g., CLOCK, BMAL1) causes obesity, liver fat accumulation, and impaired insulin secretion without hyperinsulinemia.Timing of food intake: Eating the same high-fat calories during rest phase causes more weight gain than during active phase due to differences in energy dissipation.Modern disruptions (jet lag, shift work, blue light): Create desynchrony between brain and peripheral clocks, contributing to metabolic issues; late-night eating impairs glucose handling.Critical illness & feeding: Tube feeding at night (opposite natural cycle) induces rapid insulin resistance, highlighting mismatch costs.Hormone rhythms: Testosterone, glucocorticoids, and others peak at specific times; misalignment affects stress, reproduction, and metabolism.Weight loss drugs & maintenance: GLP-1 drugs reduce intake effectively, but regain involves neuroendocrine adaptations tied to brain clock pathways.ABOUT THE GUEST: Joseph Bass, MD, PhD is Chief of Endocrinology, Metabolism and Molecular Medicine at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, Director of the Center for Diabetes and Metabolism, and a leading researcher who pioneered the link between circadian clock genes and metabolic disorders including obesity and diabetes.RELATED EPISODE:M&M 237 | Circadian Biology: Genetics, Behavior, Metabolism, Light, Oxygen & Melatonin | Joseph TakahashiSupport the showHealth Products by M&M Partners: SporesMD: Premium mushrooms products (gourmet mushrooms, nootropics, research).

EPISODE SUMMARY In this episode, Arundhati Parmar interviews Shalin Shah, CEO of Marius Pharmaceuticals, about Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) and the long-standing regulatory classification that places testosterone as a Schedule III controlled substance. Shah explains that testosterone was scheduled in 1990 following Olympic doping scandals — despite opposition at the time from the FDA, DEA, and the American Medical Association. More than 30 years later, he argues that the regulatory framework no longer reflects current clinical evidence and may be doing more harm than good. The conversation explores: The scientific evidence surrounding cardiovascular and prostate safety The differences between injectable and oral testosterone therapies The stigma and logistical barriers created by controlled substance status How GLP-1 drugs intersect with hormone health and muscle preservation The possibility of expanding testosterone therapy access to women Whether the current regulatory environment may revisit testosterone scheduling At its core, this episode examines whether testosterone is being regulated based on outdated controversy rather than modern clinical science — and what that means for patients navigating care today.

You just have to be a good parent 30-40% of the time. According to the research, and parenting expert Maggie Dent.
When we talk about hormones and women's sexual health, the focus is almost always on estrogen. But testosterone also plays a key role in desire, arousal, and overall sexual well-being. Despite being labeled a “male hormone,” women produce (and need) it too. In this episode, we separate myth from fact about testosterone in women and why it remains one of the most overlooked topics in sexual medicine. I am joined once again by Dr. Maria Sophocles, a board-certified OB/GYN and Menopause Society Certified Practitioner. She is the CMO of EMBR Labs, a Boston-based wellness device company. Maria is also author of the new book, The Bedroom Gap, which is all about sex at midlife. Some of the specific topics we explore in this episode include: What testosterone does in women's bodies and sex lives How levels change across the lifespan When testosterone may help menopausal symptoms Potential risks and side effects Why there's still no FDA-approved testosterone treatment for women To learn more about Maria’s work, you can check out her website.

In this episode, I sit down with neuroscientist Dr. Louisa Nicola to unpack what women actually need to know about Alzheimer's risk, cognitive decline, and long term brain protection. We break down APOE genetics, advanced blood biomarkers that can now detect amyloid and tau with remarkable accuracy, and why brain health is inseparable from metabolic health. Louisa explains how muscle acts as a metabolic sink for glucose, why resistance training and high intensity intervals stimulate BDNF, and how sleep drives the glymphatic system to clear amyloid from the brain. If you want practical tools to assess your personal risk, understand your labs, and build a proactive prevention plan decades before symptoms appear, this conversation is for you. → Leave Us A Voice Message!

And is hormone replacement therapy, or HRT, something every woman should consider, or something to fear? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Sarah Daccarett, MD, founder of Inner Balance and a nationally recognized expert in women's hormone health, longevity, and bioidentical hormone optimization. We dive into why she has seen so many women are chase all the wrong solutions for their health, like gut protocols, weight loss, supplements, etc., when hormones may actually be the main driver. We dive into why many women start HRT later than they might need to, and what earlier support could look like. Along the way, we unpack common misconceptions about HRT and natural aging, and explore how timing, dosage, and delivery systems can make all the difference. We also look at the broader picture of how hormones influence immunity, metabolism, sexual health, and brain function, and why fear and misinformation around HRT continue to persist.I share my own questions, hesitations, and devil's advocate thoughts throughout the conversation, and reflect on how this discussion has somewhat shifted my perspective. This is a nuanced and practical conversation for women of all ages who want to understand their bodies more deeply, make informed choices, and reclaim clarity and agency in their health.Whether you are curious, cautious, or already on your HRT journey, this episode will give you perspective, tools, and insight, with no hype, no fear, and just real information.

Why do so many men over 50 still feel tired, foggy, or stalled even after addressing testosterone?Hormone changes after 50 are real, but focusing on testosterone alone often leaves men short of the results they expect. Energy, focus, fat loss, and recovery are driven by systems that work together, not a single number on a lab report. This conversation, with Jay Campbell, looks at hormone optimization through a wider, more practical lens that matches the realities men face in the second half of life.Listeners will discover:Why testosterone and TRT can help some men, yet fall short without addressing metabolic healthHow peptides fit into a broader hormone optimization strategy focused on function, not shortcutsWhat blood work can reveal about energy, insulin control, and long-term performanceThis is a clear, grounded discussion for men who want better clarity around hormones, smarter decisions about TRT, and a more complete understanding of how metabolism and aging intersect.Listen to gain a sharper framework for hormone optimization and a more confident path forward after 50.If you find this episode helpful, please subscribe and share it with friends and family.NEW FOR 2026: Click here to get my weekly Unstoppable After 50 Playbook

Breast cancer screening is often treated as a given. Mammograms are framed as routine, early detection as unquestionably life-saving, and following guidelines as the responsible choice. But what if the full picture is more complicated?In this episode of hol+, Dr. Taz sits down with integrative oncologist and breast surgeon Dr. Jenn Simmons, author of The Smart Woman's Guide to Breast Cancer, to explore what breast cancer screening data actually shows, where common narratives may oversimplify reality, and how statistics can sometimes be misunderstood by both patients and providers.Together, they discuss the difference between screening and diagnostic imaging, why detecting more cancers does not always mean fewer deaths, and how concepts like overdiagnosis and lead-time bias shape our interpretation of outcomes. Dr. Jenn also explains how breast cancer behaves differently from many other cancers, why progression is not always linear, and what tumor markers like ER, PR, HER2, and triple-negative really indicate.The conversation expands beyond imaging into a whole-body view of breast health, touching on inflammation, immune function, metabolic health, toxic burden, stress, and lifestyle as factors that shape cancer risk and recovery. Rather than promoting fear or urgency, this episode focuses on helping listeners understand their bodies, ask better questions, and make informed decisions with clarity.This episode is for anyone who wants a deeper understanding of breast cancer screening, feels overwhelmed by conflicting guidance, or wants to approach breast health with more nuance and less panic.About Dr. Jenn SimmonsDr. Jenn Simmons is an integrative oncologist, breast surgeon, and founder of Real Health MD. She was Philadelphia's first fellowship-trained breast surgeon and spent nearly two decades leading one of the region's top breast programs before transitioning into integrative oncology.Drawing from her experience in conventional cancer care and her own health journey, Dr. Simmons now focuses on whole-body approaches to breast health, cancer prevention, and recovery, including metabolic health, inflammation, immune function, lifestyle medicine, and root-cause healing. She is the author of The Smart Woman's Guide to Breast Cancer, a patient-centered resource designed to help women better understand their diagnosis, ask informed questions, and navigate treatment decisions with clarity rather than fear.Order the BookThe Smart Woman's Guide to Breast Cancer Stay Connected:Connect further to Hol+ at https://holplus.co/- Don't forget to like, subscribe, and hit the notification bell to stay updated on future episodes of hol+.Follow Dr. Jenn SimmonsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/drjennsimmonsYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@dr.jennsimmonsWebsite: https://www.jennsimmonsmd.com/Follow Dr. Taz on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drtazmd/https://www.instagram.com/liveholplus/Subscribe to the audio podcast: https://holplus.transistor.fm/subscribeSubscribe to the video podcast: https://www.youtube.com/@DrTazMD/podcastsGet your copy of The Hormone Shift: Balance Your Body and Thrive Through Midlife and MenopauseHost & Production TeamHost: Dr. Taz; Produced by ClipGrowth.com (Producer: Pat Gostek)00:00 Swedish trial claim and overdiagnosis framing 00:52 Why this became a part two conversation 03:25 Reframing screening narratives and medical training gaps 04:39 Why Dr. Simmons questions mammograms as a screening tool 06:06 Origins of screening programs and “invitation to screen” bias 07:12 Relative risk vs absolute numbers example (4 vs 5 per 1,000) 08:49 Overdiagnosis explained with a vivid analogy 09:50 Autopsy-study claim and the “microscopic cancer” idea 12:11 Swedish trial claim revisited: more diagnoses, same deaths 13:38 Downstream harms: callbacks, biopsies, overtreatment 15:04 Lead-time bias and survival statistics explained 16:44 Dr. Simmons' view on the founder's regret narrative 18:16 Switzerland headline clarified and what actually changed 20:10 Cautionary stories and aggressive cancers discussion 22:07 Why breast cancer does not always progress linearly 24:21 Buckets: DCIS, invasive, inflammatory, receptor types 26:15 Clinical vs subclinical disease approach 28:25 Long-term tradeoffs and “forgotten woman” after treatment 32:15 What ER PR HER2 mean biologically and system incentives 35:33 Testosterone discussion and prevention claim presented 42:15 Hormones after breast cancer and the 4-year “reintroduction” idea 44:29 Triple negative: environment, toxicity, immune system focus 49:19 What to do next: pause, exceptions, whole-body workup 52:32 Prevention and breast health approach begins 53:24 At-home tears test explanation (as discussed) 56:24 Detox basics and why sweating is emphasized 59:34 Imaging preferences for screening and what to do if limited access
"Since the 80s, we've been brainwashed to believe that eggs are bad for us, butter is bad for us, dairy is bad for us, red meat is bad for us. And it's just not true." If you've been told your cholesterol is "too high"... if you're on a statin drug and wondering if it's actually helping... if you care about preventing heart disease instead of just managing it... this episode is your wake-up call. It's Heart Health Month, and Dr. Terri is cutting through decades of misinformation to reveal what's REALLY driving cardiovascular disease — and it's not cholesterol. From the gut-heart connection to the six hormones that could save your life, this is the heart health conversation your doctor probably isn't having with you. Here's the truth: "The highest gross revenue producing drug in the history of drugs — billions of dollars — and since they've come out in the 80s, cardiovascular disease rates and death from cardiovascular disease have actually gotten worse, not better." WHAT YOU'LL DISCOVER: → Why heart disease is a disease of INFLAMMATION, not cholesterol → The shocking truth about statin drugs — and why heart disease has gotten WORSE since the 80s → How cholesterol-lowering drugs are literally shrinking your brain (the brain is 70% cholesterol) → The connection between statins, insulin resistance, and Alzheimer's (now called Type 3 Diabetes) → Why "all disease begins in the gut" — Hippocrates said it 2,000 years ago and it's still true → How estradiol reduced cardiovascular disease progression by 50% in women who already had plaque → Why testosterone is powerfully protective for men's hearts (not just for energy and muscle) → The one organ that can't make its own T3 thyroid hormone — your heart → Why your "normal" lab ranges are based on a sick population (and what optimal ACTUALLY looks like) → The phone scrolling habit that's destroying your melatonin AND your heart health → The inverse relationship between cortisol and DHEA that's wrecking your cardiovascular system → The vitamin D level that triggers a 5x cancer risk and 160% increased cardiovascular disease risk → The 6 hormones you need optimized for true heart disease prevention This isn't about managing heart disease with more prescriptions. It's about understanding the root cause — inflammation — and optimizing the hormones your body needs to protect itself. YOUR ACTION STEPS: Get a deep-dive lipid panel (particle size, ApoA, ApoB), check your hormone levels, ask about a coronary artery calcium score, and focus on OPTIMAL — not just "normal."

https://truedark.com/discount/DAVETUBEMost people believe testosterone declines simply because of age. That explanation is easy, familiar, and wrong. Testosterone is not primarily controlled by how hard you train, how clean you eat, or how stressed you feel during the day.It is controlled by what happens in your brain at night. This video explains how sleep architecture works, why deep sleep is the foundation of hormone production, and how common nighttime habits flatten testosterone signals at the source.It also walks through practical ways to restore proper sleep timing, protect deep sleep, and rebuild the hormonal rhythm the body depends on.Timestamps:00:00 - Why testosterone decline is not just about aging01:12 - When testosterone is actually made in the body01:37 - Deep sleep explained (slow-wave sleep / N3)02:14 - “Fake aging”: why you feel older than you are03:35 - Why 8 hours of sleep can still fail you05:39 - How to protect deep sleep09:45 - How light at night confuses your brain's clock12:11 - How to protect your eyes and sleep at night14:20 - What happens when sleep is finally fixedThank you to our sponsors!

Are Psychopaths As Dangerous As The Legal System Believes? For decades, judicial systems in North America have been using formal assessments to identify these psychopathic individuals. Scoring high on these tests can lead to harsher sentencing and exclusion from rehabilitation programs based on the controversial belief that such inmates cannot be changed. However, our expert pushes back against these procedures and discusses what modern research is revealing about psychopathy.

So sad about James Van Der Beek’s death this week at the age of 48 from colorectal cancer. He left behind a wife and six kids. A GoFundMe page was set up, and it’s doing really well, topping $2.5 million in two days. And now there’s blowback due to its success, with people calling the Van Der Beek widow to sell their mansion instead. But it turns out, Van Der Beek was paying for his own cancer treatment out of pocket. Shannon of Gary and Shannon fame thinks Merrill might be a serial killer. There’s no evidence to suggest otherwise. What was your favorite Super Bowl ad? Merrill most liked the ad for Ring doorbell cameras about the lost dog. But many felt that ad was kinda creepy – who wants our doorbells to join forces to spy on us and report us to the cloud? It’s an invasion of privacy! And yet, why hasn’t Ring found Nancy Guthrie? Now, another person has been detained in the Nancy Guthrie case, bringing it to three people detained this evening. A written statement is incoming. Forlorn and looking for love around Valentine’s Day? If anyone likes you around this time of year, unfortunately they’re likely a scammer. So be careful on those dating apps! Should Merrill do a nooner? He’s fleshing it out right now! Apparently, we’re not doing it enough. A sex therapist says we’re not having enough sex. Testosterone is plummeting and we’re all getting lonely. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

health check Taking Care of Your Health Before It Forces You To | Episode 585 Good morning. It's 35 degrees, it's cold, and today we're talking about something that doesn't trend on YouTube and doesn't get clicks like “grid down tomorrow” — your health. There's a reason I'm covering this now. A guy I've known since I was about 11 passed away recently. Football teammate. Same schools. Long history. Early word is it may have been a cardiac event. And before we go any further — I am not saying any advice in this episode would have saved him. Sometimes things just happen. But if you're neglecting your health? This is your wake-up call. You're Not “Just Getting Old” I'm 44. And for a while I told myself the fatigue was normal. Weird sleep schedule. Overtime. Overnight shifts. Aches and pains. That's just aging, right? That mindset is a trap. Yes, you shouldn't run to the doctor for every sniffle. I didn't. But you also shouldn't just accept feeling like garbage as your new baseline. If you wake up tired every day. If your joints hurt constantly. If your energy is gone. That's data. Don't ignore it. Trying to Fix It Yourself (And When That Stops Working) If you've listened for a while, you know I've been troubleshooting my own health. Testosterone. Supplements. Methylated vitamins. Higher-dose vitamin D. Peptides. Cutting things out. Adding things in. Tracking symptoms with ChatGPT. Logging fatigue, flare-ups, lab numbers, theories. Some things helped briefly. Some did nothing. Some made things worse. At some point, you have to admit: you're guessing. I finally used telehealth through my terrible insurance and got bloodwork done. Electrolytes, kidney function, autoimmune markers. Most came back fine. Except two didn't. ANA positive.Anti–double stranded DNA positive (low positive). Those markers can point toward autoimmune issues. Possibly lupus. I'm not self-diagnosing. I'm seeing a rheumatologist. But I finally have data instead of guesses. That matters. Don't Wait Until It's Out of Control Here's the prepper lesson. We stock food before we're starving.We store water before we're thirsty.We build first aid kits before we're bleeding. But most people ignore their blood pressure, ignore chronic fatigue, ignore pain, ignore lab work — until it explodes. At minimum: Get bloodwork once a year. Know your baseline numbers. Track changes over time. If something's off, address it early. You don't even have to rely entirely on a doctor to initiate it. There are affordable lab services where you can order panels yourself and see the numbers. That yearly snapshot alone is powerful. Preparedness includes your body. Stop White-Knuckling It For months, the only thing helping me push through fatigue was kratom. Say what you want — it helped me function. But that's a band-aid. It's not a diagnosis. White-knuckling your way through work, overtime, parenting, life — that's not strength. That's deferred maintenance. If you wouldn't run your truck with the oil light on for six months, don't do it to your body. You are the most important piece of gear you own. Final Thoughts I don't know yet what's going on with me. Maybe it's autoimmune. Maybe it's iron depletion. Maybe it's something else entirely. What I do know is this: ignoring it wasn't working. Take care of your health before it forces you to.Get the data. Make informed decisions.And stop pretending feeling terrible is just part of getting older.

What if the line between “medicine” and “forbidden” has nothing to do with safety and everything to do with permission? This episode gives you a clear framework for understanding peptides, research chemicals, and performance enhancement so you can think for yourself instead of outsourcing your biology Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey sits down with Dylan Gemelli for a candid, unfiltered conversation about the underground world of biohacking, research chemicals, and human performance. Dylan is a long-time biohacker, educator, and researcher who came out of the bodybuilding world and spent more than a decade studying peptides, SARMs, nootropics, and gray-area compounds. He brings first-hand experience, deep research literacy, and a rare ability to explain what these compounds actually do, where the risks are, and why most doctors will never talk about them. Together, they unpack what “research chemicals” really means, why peptides technically fall into that category, and how legality often has little to do with biological reality. They explore compounds like MK-677, S4, and other SARMs, how they interact with growth hormone, muscle, strength, and recovery, and why some of these tools can be more powerful than peptides when used with intention and restraint. Dave also shares his own experiences rebuilding his health using underground tools, why he refuses to ask for permission to take care of his body, and how performance enhancement fits into longevity, metabolism, and real-world function. You'll Learn: • What research chemicals actually are and why peptides fall into that category • How compounds like MK-677 stimulate growth hormone and affect muscle and recovery • Why SARMs differ from steroids and where the real risks come from • The difference between tobacco and nicotine and why low-dose nicotine can support brain optimization • How performance enhancement fits into longevity, metabolism, and functional medicine thinking • Why strength and neurological drive matter more than size alone • How to think clearly about supplements, nootropics, and biohacking tools without fear or hype • Why taking responsibility for your biology is not cheating Dave Asprey is a four time New York Times bestselling author, founder of Bulletproof Coffee, and the father of biohacking. With over 1,000 interviews and 1 million monthly listeners, The Human Upgrade is the top podcast for people who want to take control of their biology, extend their longevity, and optimize every system in the body and mind.

Around the world, we're seeing declining sperm counts, rising infertility, more erectile dysfunction, and lower testosterone—even in younger men. These trends aren't just affecting family planning; they're pointing to something much bigger happening in men's health. Joining me today on The Dr. Hyman Show is Dr. Michael Eisenberg, a Stanford researcher and leading voice in male reproductive health. We talk about why sperm quality matters far beyond fertility—and how everyday health choices quietly shape it. Watch the full conversation on YouTube or listen wherever you get your podcasts. [YOUTUBE THUMBNAIL] We cover: • Why sperm quality may be one of the strongest early indicators of overall health and longevity • How metabolic dysfunction, belly fat, and low testosterone impact fertility and sexual function • The role environmental toxins and endocrine disruptors play in declining sperm counts • What men can do right now to protect fertility and long-term vitality When we look at fertility through the lens of whole-body health, it changes how we think about prevention, risk, and longevity. Male fertility isn't just about reproduction. It's a signal. Register for The Ultra Learning Series: Functional Fertility on Thursday, February 12 at 12PM ET here.
