Sad
It is disappointing to read the content of the emails he wrote to Epstein. His disregard to women and how he seemed to put Epstein on a pedestal. Why didn’t he apologized before 2026??

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#387 - AMA #83: Peptides—evaluating the science, safety, and hype in a rapidly growing field

Q: For today, what is your goal with the peptides you want to talk about, and what key questions should we apply to evaluate them?

The goal is to provide a clear framework that applies to any peptide, focusing on mechanism, safety, evidence in humans, dosage, alternatives, and regulatory context, so listeners can judge each peptide on its own merits rather than rely on hype.

#385 - AMA #82: Applying the tools of longevity in the real world: disease prevention, DEXA scans, artificial sweeteners, injury recovery, stability training, habit formation, protein intake and mTOR activation, and more

Q: So with that said, I think we'll just jump right into it. First question being, as someone thinks about their trajectory as age, so if someone goes from their 20s to 40s to 60s and beyond, how do you work with patients around how their health priorities, strategies, tactics should shift across those decades as they age?

The general approach is to acknowledge that a lot can be done in your 20s, but you should start being deliberate about prevention as you move into your 40s and beyond. In your 40s, metabolic health and cardiovascular risk become more central, with emphasis on maintaining workout frequency, screening, and addressing dyslipidemia or hypertension early. In your 60s and older, the focus shifts to maintenance and, if possible, continued gains through adjusted training, with an emphasis on doing no harm and tailoring protocols to preserve function and independence while reducing risk. Across all ages, the idea is to balance pushing limits in youth with protecting health through prevention, screening, and sustainable exercise as you age.

#376 - AMA #78: Longevity interventions, exercise, diagnostic screening, and managing high apoB, hypertension, metabolic health, and more

Q: How do you motivate people in their 30s to 50s to prioritize exercise?

We help patients identify and rank the top 10 physical activities they want to do in their later years and then we project back to highlight the necessary fitness levels they need to achieve now.

#376 - AMA #78: Longevity interventions, exercise, diagnostic screening, and managing high apoB, hypertension, metabolic health, and more

Q: If you can only do one intervention for lifespan, what is your non-negotiable?

For both lifespan and healthspan, the answer is exercise due to its unmatched benefits in reducing disease-specific mortality.

#375 - Ketogenic diet, ketosis & hyperbaric oxygen: metabolic therapies for weight loss, cognition, Alzheimer's & more | Dom D'Agostino, Ph.D.

Q: What are common mistakes people make when transitioning to a ketogenic diet?

The top mistakes include not tracking macronutrients, not enough protein intake, and underestimating total calorie intake due to the calorically dense nature of fats in the diet.
