  • Science based and useful

    I felt compelled to to say thank you for representing the plant based community in your recent interview with Dr. Rocio on the theme of GLP one. I am a plant-based nutritionist and I was rolling around in my chair listening to her talk about muscle mass on a plant-based diet. This is unfortunate information getting out there and I’m glad you said that likely the healthy plant based folks are not the ones in her office. It is so important to dispel this plant based protein myth. I live in Mexico ... more

  • Dr Daniel Amen interview

    I just finished listening to the interview you had with Dr. Daniel Amen. His mission of improving brain health is commendable. However, when was discussing your SPECT scan and all the information he could glean from it I was flabbergasted.

    As a neuroradiologist the idea of seeing all the abnormalities using nothing but a SPECT scans everyday sounds ludicrous. He must be using some “new” or special technology I’ve never heard of. In daily practice SPECT scans predominantly evaluate for Parkinso... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Two Years to Become the 'Healthiest Man Alive'
Q: What is the core philosophy that AJ credits for sustaining long-term changes rather than relying on willpower?
The core philosophy is to modify the environment to reduce temptations and friction, making healthy choices easy and automatic, rather than depending on heroic self-control.
Two Years to Become the 'Healthiest Man Alive'
Q: What was the starting point for AJ Jacobs' year (or two) of health experiments, and how did he approach it?
AJ explains that he assembled a team of experts, ran a comprehensive evaluation, and then began with the simplest, most feasible steps to build momentum toward better health, integrating diet, sleep, stress management, and exercise into a cohesive lifestyle plan.
A Gen Z Perspective on Longevity with Samantha Feher
Q: What does Sam Feher serve at a dinner party for Gen Z friends, and what does that reveal about lifestyle choices?
She emphasizes simple, wholesome foods, warm beverages, and healthy fats—an approachable, home-cooked approach that prioritizes nourishment and meaningful social interaction over flashy wellness trends.
Reverse Your Biological Age with Valter Longo
Q: Should I be doing fasting, and what does a five-day water-only fast look like?
Fasting can trigger fat utilization and ketone production while protecting muscle through glycerol-derived glucose; however, water-only fasting is generally not feasible or safe for the majority of people, and the fasting-mimicking diet offers a more practical alternative that preserves muscle and reduces hunger.
The 8 Root Causes of Disease You’ve Never Been Taught with Dr. Darshan Shah
Q: Can you wait, can you tell us what those eight root causes of disease are?
He explains the eight root causes (inflammation, hormone deficiencies, gut dysbiosis, mitochondrial disruption, toxic exposure, circadian disruption, inadequate nutrients, and metabolic disease) and notes that addressing these through nutrition, sleep, movement, and environmental factors can dramatically improve health.
