  • Could Your Thyroid Be the Missing Piece?

    Could Your Thyroid Be the Missing Piece?
    Feb 9 2026
    What if a tiny check could make a life-changing difference? In this episode, we dive into why a simple thyroid screening during pregnancy might play a powerful role in lowering autism risk—and why this often-overlooked gland deserves way more attention than it gets.
    From there, we break down the key nutrients your thyroid actually needs to thrive, cutting through the supplement noise to focus on what really matters for energy, metabolism, mood, and brain health.
    And to wrap things up, we tackle a classic health myth with a modern twist: can an apple a day really make you healthier… and even more successful? ? Spoiler: the answer is more interesting (and practical) than you might expect.
    Science-backed, curiosity-driven, and refreshingly down to earth—this episode connects the dots between nutrition, prevention, and everyday habits that quietly shape our health and our lives. Tune in.

  • Built to Last: Muscle, Aging, and You

    Built to Last: Muscle, Aging, and You
    Feb 2 2026
    GLP-1 weight loss medications are everywhere right now—but what aren’t people talking about? In this episode, we break down the emerging concern around significant muscle loss associated with GLP-1 drugs and how that can quietly impact metabolism, strength, and long-term health. We also explore the surprising connection to SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth) and what it means for gut health during rapid weight loss.

    From there, we zoom out and talk about muscle strength and aging—why maintaining muscle isn’t just about aesthetics, but about independence, longevity, and quality of life. You’ll learn practical strategies to stay strong as you age, even if you’re starting later than you’d like.

    We wrap up with a powerful conversation on personal responsibility in health. No shortcuts, no outsourcing your well-being—just honest discussion about informed choices, sustainable habits, and taking ownership of your body in a world full of quick fixes.
    If you care about staying strong, healthy, and in control of your health decisions, this episode is for you.

  • The Problem with Cheese: When Big Pharma Met Big Dairy

    The Problem with Cheese: When Big Pharma Met Big Dairy
    Jan 26 2026
    What do cheese, memory, and cellular repair have in common? More than you think.
    We kick things off with “The Problem with Cheese: How Pfizer Hijacked Cheese Without Asking”—a deep dive into how corporate science quietly reshaped something as ordinary as cheese, and why that matters more than most people realize.

    Next, we shift into the brain, unpacking memory, cognitive longevity, and the overlooked role of astrocytes. What actually keeps your mind sharp over time? We explore the support cells that rarely get the spotlight but may hold the key to long-term brain health.

    We wrap up with a product review of Repair Plus, breaking down how it’s designed to support your body’s natural repair processes, what the science says, and who it might actually be for.
    From food systems to brain cells to recovery and repair—this episode connects the dots between what we consume, how we think, and how we heal.

  • Pyramid Scheme, Meet Nutrition Science

    Pyramid Scheme, Meet Nutrition Science
    Jan 19 2026
    In this episode, we take a hard look at the latest changes to the food pyramid and ask the big question: are these updates finally rooted in real science—or just recycled nutrition dogma?
    Next, we dive deep into saturated fat. Not all saturated fats are created equal, so we explore the different types, why the body actually needs saturated fat, and whether some sources can be considered genuinely healthy.
    Finally, we tackle one of nutrition’s most controversial topics: Is there really a correlation between saturated fat, cholesterol and heart disease? To separate fact from fear, we play a powerful clip from Dr. Aseem Malhotra as he breaks down what the actual studies show—and what they don’t.
    If you’re confused by conflicting dietary advice and want evidence-based clarity, this episode is a must

  • Flu Season or Fear Season? Unpacking the UK’s Annual Panic

    Flu Season or Fear Season? Unpacking the UK’s Annual Panic
    Jan 12 2026
    In this episode, we unpack some of the biggest health headlines shaping conversations right now—cutting through fear, hype, and confusion along the way.
    We start by breaking down the UK’s intense fear response to flu season and how media, policy, and public perception collide every year. Is the panic helping—or hurting?

    Next, we look at the rise in GLP-1–related blindness lawsuits, exploring what’s being alleged, why these cases are increasing, and what questions they raise about fast-growing weight-loss medications.

    From there, we shift to the brain: emerging research suggests that early metabolic strain and low choline intake may quietly set the stage for long-term brain damage in young adults—often long before symptoms appear.

    We also dive into nutrition science, including evidence that higher vitamin C intake can physically change your skin, influencing structure and appearance from the inside out.
    Finally, we zoom out to a global issue: most of the world isn’t getting enough omega-3, and the consequences may be far more serious than many people realize.

    A wide-ranging episode connecting public health, nutrition, and long-term brain and body resilience—don’t miss it

  • Beyond DNA: The Science of Switched-On Genes

    Beyond DNA: The Science of Switched-On Genes
    Jan 5 2026
    Why do some people take a pill or receive a shot with no ill effects, while others experience lifelong complications—or even fatal outcomes? In this episode, we explore how a rapidly growing field called epigenetics may help explain these striking differences, revealing how prescription medications can influence how our genes are expressed without changing the DNA itself.
    Next, we dive into The Energy Behind Disease, examining emerging research that challenges the traditional gene-first model of illness. What if conditions like cancer don’t begin with damaged genes at all, but with disruptions in a cell’s energy systems? We unpack this intriguing perspective and what it could mean for the future of health research.
    Finally, we play a compelling clip from Dr. Bruce Lipton, who breaks down the mechanisms of epigenetics in clear, accessible terms—offering a fresh way to think about biology, health, and human potential.
    This episode is an exploration of new ideas at the frontier of science, asking big questions about how biology really works and why the same treatment can lead to vastly different outcomes.

  • The Hidden RDA Error and Why Many Don’t Respond

    The Hidden RDA Error and Why Many Don’t Respond
    Dec 22 2025
    This week we unpack the groundbreaking 2014 paper revealing a statistical error in the estimation of the Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) for Vitamin D—an error that may have shaped public health policy for a decade. We explore what the researchers actually found, how the miscalculation occurred, and what it means for real-world supplementation.

    Then we take the investigation further with fresh insights from “Why Vitamin D Fails to Rise in Many People: New Evidence—and How Orthomolecular Medicine Solves It.” Discover why some individuals can take “adequate” doses yet see little change in their blood levels, and how orthomolecular strategies—rooted in biochemical individuality and high-precision nutrient therapy—offer promising, evidence-based ways to correct these stubborn deficiencies.
