288: I’m joined by Iman Hasan, host of the podcast “Biohack-it” to talk about something I don’t think we’re discussing enough: the link between healthspan, fertility and women’s health. After losing her mom to cancer, Iman began questioning the medical system and embarked on a mission to understand aging, fertility, and whether menopause can be reversed. We dive into ovarian aging, lipid replacement therapy, functional fertility doctors, and how chronic stress is pushing women into early perimenopause. This episode will challenge you to reframe your daily routines to promote healthy aging. 

Topics Discussed:

➝ Can you reverse menopause naturally?

➝ What does healthspan vs. longevity look like for women? 

➝ Do NAD shots actually improve fertility and hormone health?

➝ How can chronic stress push women into early perimenopause?

➝ What is lipid replacement therapy for cellular detox?

287: I’m joined by Dr. Daniel Pompa, health coach, author, and founder of the Pompa Program, to break down the truth about intermittent fasting, cellular detox, and inflammation. We explore how fasting actually works at the cellular level, what a real feast day looks like, and how toxins, seed oils, and even dental issues can drive chronic inflammation (and bigger health issues down the line). Dr. Pompa also shares how mercury poisoning reshaped his approach to health and why cholesterol is so misunderstood. If you’re doing all the “right” things but still feel off, this episode connects the dots.

Topics Discussed:

→ Is intermittent fasting good or bad for health?

→ How does cellular detox reduce inflammation?

→ What causes the “skinny fat” look even in healthy people?

→ Can heavy metals and environmental toxins damage mitochondria?

→ Is elevated LDL cholesterol actually bad for your health?

286. In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Natalie Crawford, a board-certified fertility doctor with a nutrition background, to talk about what women aren’t being taught about fertility and hormonal health. She breaks down how to understand your menstrual cycle, and explains the benefits of learning this even before you’re ready to have kids. We also talk about how mindset, lifestyle, exercise and sleep can contribute toward fertility, especially if you’re in your late 30s and 40s. This conversation shifts the narrative away from fear and age and back to the health of the woman. 

Topics Discussed:

→ How does hormonal birth control impact fertility and the menstrual cycle?

→ Why should you track your cycle naturally?

→ When does health matter more than age when trying to get pregnant?

→ What is AMH and when should you check your levels?  

→ What is the biggest factor impacting fertility?

285: In this episode, I’m joined by Baran Dilaver, cofounder of Wonderfeel Biosciences, to break down one of the most important molecules for aging and longevity: NAD. We talk about what NAD actually is, why it declines as we age, and how that impacts everything from energy and cognition to skin health and sleep. Baran explains the difference between healthspan and longevity, how to spot low-quality or fake NAD supplements, and why going back to nature - not pharmaceuticals - is key for long-term health. We also cover diet, exercise, sleep, Blue Zones, and simple lifestyle shifts that can help you age better, not just longer.

Topics Discussed:

→ What is NAD and why does it decline as we age?

→ How do NAD supplements support longevity and healthspan?

→ What’s the difference between healthspan and longevity?

→ How can you avoid fake NAD products?

→ Can boosting NAD levels improve energy, cognition, and skin as you age?

284: In this episode, I’m joined by Louisiana State Senator Patrick McMath, Chairman of the Senate Health and Welfare Committee, to break down one of the most ambitious state-led health initiatives we’ve seen yet. We dive deep into Louisiana’s MAHA bill, SB14, which tackles everything from seed oil disclosures and ingredient regulation to nutrition training for doctors. This conversation is about reframing health, challenging political division, and proving that eating real, nutrient dense food doesn’t have to be expensive - it just has to be prioritized.

Topics Discussed:

→ What is Louisiana’s MAHA bill (SB14) and how will it change the food system?

→ Why is Louisiana requiring seed oil disclosures?

→ How does nutrition education for doctors impact healthcare outcomes?

→ Can food-first, root-cause care reduce chronic disease in children?

→ How is Louisiana prioritizing local food and farmers in school meals?
