  • Best podcast for your health!

    I always learn something useful for my health. Love your episodes that give newest technology, tests,etc., so we can better manage our health. Episode 206 was one of my favorites as it answered many questions. Dr Pamela Smith was awesome! She was so knowledgeable, her answers were short and spot one for us novices, and so easy to listen to. By far one of my favorite guests you have had on your podcasts!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

203. Sat Randhawa: Can You Train Your Brain? QEEG & Neurofeedback
Q: How does neurofeedback work in practical terms?
Neurofeedback gives real-time feedback on brain activity while the person engages in a task, allowing them to learn to shift their brain states from stress toward more optimal patterns, with a direct, observable link between effort and brain response.
203. Sat Randhawa: Can You Train Your Brain? QEEG & Neurofeedback
Q: What is QEEG and why is it important for brain health?
QEEG maps electrical activity to understand brain pathways and how they relate to behaviors like memory, focus, and emotional regulation. It provides a quantitative baseline much like blood work for the brain, enabling personalized assessment rather than generic labels.
199. Dr. Jeffrey Wiegers: Stem Cells Explained—What They Can Do Now & What's Coming Next
Q: What exactly are orthobiologics and how do they differ from more conventional treatments like PRP?
Orthobiologics involve materials from mesenchymal lineages used to rebuild tissues; PRP is just growth-factor–rich plasma, while mu cells and related secretomes aim to provide a broader, more potent regenerative milieu with standardized manufacturing.
199. Dr. Jeffrey Wiegers: Stem Cells Explained—What They Can Do Now & What's Coming Next
Q: So how did you come upon regenerative medicine as a career path and how did you start incorporating regenerative therapeutics into your practice?
Dr. Wiegers describes a shift from traditional pain management to regenerative approaches, the influence of orthobiologics, and the introduction of autologous and allogenic materials, culminating in the MuCell framework and the Dazawa process.
195: Jeff Byers: Inside the Supplement Industry: The 4 Supplements That Actually Matter
Q: What are the Momentous core foundations and why do you lead with them?
The core foundations are creatine, protein, and omegas (and now fiber) because these have the strongest, most well-supported evidence for broad health and longevity benefits. They are foundational, high-ROI nutrients that form a reliable base before adding condition-specific supports based on blood work and personal needs.
