    Jan 29 2026

    Peptides are quietly changing the future of health—and most people still don’t understand what they are or why they matter.

    In this episode of Next to Madison, I sit down with Dr. Todd Schlifstein, a leading expert in peptide therapy, to break down what peptides actually are, how they work in the body, and why they’re becoming one of the most talked-about tools in modern medicine, longevity, and performance optimization.

    We dive into how peptides can support healing, fat loss, muscle recovery, hormone balance, inflammation reduction, brain health, and aging—without the hype or confusion. Dr. Schlifstein explains the science in a way that actually makes sense, clearing up common misconceptions and sharing what people should know before considering peptide therapy.

    If you’re curious about biohacking, longevity, or taking a smarter, more proactive approach to your health, this conversation will change how you think about what’s possible.

    This episode is informative, practical, and grounded in real science—no fear-mongering, no magic pills, just clarity.

  • MAGA for Mamdani? A Conversation About Political Curiosity, Fear, and Identity
    Jan 1 2026

    In this episode of Next to Madison, Madison sits down with Ron Barba to discuss his new political movement, “MAGA for Mamdani,” a bold and unconventional idea that’s sparking conversation by intentionally challenging political labels and assumptions.

    Ron explains the purpose behind the movement, how controversy can be used as a tool to disrupt entrenched narratives, and why provoking discomfort can sometimes open the door to deeper understanding. Rather than pushing a traditional political agenda, this conversation explores the psychology of polarization, the power of reframing, and what happens when familiar slogans are flipped on their head.

    This episode isn’t about telling listeners what to think — it’s about encouraging critical thought, curiosity, and honest dialogue in a time when political conversations often shut down before they begin.

    Whether you agree, disagree, or fall somewhere in between, this episode invites you to listen beyond the headline and engage with the bigger conversation underneath.

    Dec 25 2025

    Comedian and podcast host Paul Virzi joins Next to Madison for a real, hilarious conversation about comedy, relationships, and the myths we believe about success.

    Paul shares what years of stand-up, marriage, and fatherhood have taught him about pressure, expectations, and why “making it” doesn’t magically solve your internal stuff. We talk about balancing ambition with real life, staying grounded in a chaotic industry, and the moments that keep comedians honest — onstage and off.

    This episode is funny, thoughtful, and refreshingly human — the kind of conversation that reminds you why laughter and perspective matter just as much as achievement.
