  • Episode #106 - D3

    Being a long-term supplement industry scientist, and helping to form a clinical nutrition group, Josh speaks my language (and vice-versa). Uncanny how whenever newbies ask me what supplements to take I always say: D3, Magnesium, Omega-3s (Krill Oil!). No Multis (MVMs). Josh nailed what D3 can do and made it understandable! I also get a yearly D3 blood level and it has been over 60 steadily. And I too have graduated to D3+K2MK7 years ago - Josh is right again! Everyone over 40 should start K2 MK... more

  • Episode 117

    I don't usually leave reviews, but this episode genuinely stopped me in my tracks. Hearing Kyle talk about being 21, doing everything "right," and still falling apart — only to find out mercury poisoning was behind it all — was kind of mind-blowing. And kind of scary at the same time. Because I know this issue is probably plaguing millions who think they're doing the right things for their health with proper diet, exercise, and health maintenance, only to still be experiencing a debilitating "un... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#129: 60% of Adults Fear Needles—Why Medicine Still Ignores It | Manju Dawkins, MD
Q: How do you envision integrating Thimble into broader healthcare practice to improve patient care and outcomes?
By combining skin-numbing patches, post-procedure recovery supports, and a holistic app with breath work and CBT techniques, and pairing this with a compassionate, human touch, the approach aims to improve patient experience, adherence, and overall healthcare efficiency.
#129: 60% of Adults Fear Needles—Why Medicine Still Ignores It | Manju Dawkins, MD
Q: What resistance did you face when you started talking about solving needle pain as a serious problem?
There was significant skepticism that this was even a real issue; early on the idea wasn't widely studied, but over the last decade data and surveys have shown needle fear is prevalent, prompting broader interest and funding.
#130: Why Men Are Losing Their Edge And Calling It Aging with Dr. Zak Zafrani
Q: What is your ideal approach to restoring testosterone—restore to optimal rather than replace?
The host and Zak discuss restoring balance through a combination of lab-guided decisions, lifestyle optimization, and careful use of therapies like TRT or GLP-1s when appropriate, rather than defaulting to replacement.
#128: A Cellular Approach to Health: Measuring What Drives Longevity and Performance
Q: What can someone actually do with the information from the lab to improve their health today?
The conversation emphasizes that initial use is to establish a baseline and then track changes over time with repeat testing; over time, providers and patients can tailor interventions (diet, supplements, lifestyle changes) based on objective cellular data to optimize mitochondrial health and function.
#127: The 3 Root Causes of Mental Illness No One Talks About | Aruna Nammi, MD
Q: For someone listening who is struggling, where do they even begin?
Start with foundational lifestyle changes: clean up the diet, establish regular sleep, get sunlight and movement, practice mindful eating, and reduce distractions to listen to your body's signals; these basics set the stage for deeper work.
