Welcome to The Lighthouse Collective podcast series Keep Shining with Stuart MacMillan. In this episode, Stuart sits down with functional medicine physician, founder, and medical director Dr. Brent Agin to talk about the pivotal shift from traditional 'sick care' to preventative lifestyle medicine, the core pillars of sustainable health, and how to build habits that make you feel your best, mentally and physically.

• The personal moment in his first year of residency that made Dr. Agin completely rethink his path in medicine.
• Why sleep, diet, and exercise are the non-negotiable framework he addresses with every new patient.
• How to measure success in health beyond lab data: happiness, energy, and vitality as primary metrics.
• A balanced perspective on GLP-1 medications (like Ozempic): their life-changing potential and the critical lifestyle foundation required for long-term success.
• Evaluating emerging trends: his physician's criteria for adopting (or phasing out) tools like PRP, cold plunges, and ketamine therapy.
• The underestimated power of sunlight and the controversial stance on sunscreen.
• His top supplement recommendations for most adults and when to personalize.
• How psychedelic-assisted therapy fits into the future of "mindful medicine" and holistic healing.
