Episode #132: A Big Fitness and Nutrition Q&A, Including…Is Deer Antler Spray Healthy?

Full Show Notes: https://bengreenfieldlife.com/versea/ Several months ago, I released the episode “A Brand New, At-Home Way To Accurately Test Your *Mitochondrial* Health & Efficiency (Your Doctor Probably HASN’T Heard Of This!) With Dr. Hemal Patel”. Since then, I have received many questions about the MeScreen test by Versea Health that Dr Patel and I discussed in that episode. During this podcast, I’ll be taking a deep dive into how to test your mitochondria and optimize cellular function based on what you find. My first guest on this show, Sean Fetcho, is the co-founder and CEO of Verséa Health, the parent company of Verséa Discovery, the creators of MeScreen™. Sean Fetcho leads with a clear vision: to revolutionize health optimization by putting mitochondrial health testing at the forefront of preventative care. By fostering a dynamic culture of collaboration and forward-thinking, he ensures MeScreen stays ahead in delivering groundbreaking health solutions, redefining the landscape of personalized healthcare. My other guest on this show is Dr. Luis Fandos, MD, ABAPM, who is a highly respected interventional pain management specialist and the founder of Alluring Age. Dr. Fandos is a pioneer in integrating functional and cellular medicine into traditional pain management. His practice includes advanced therapies such as genetic testing, peptide protocols, hormone optimization, and vagus nerve stimulation—backed by certification from the Vagus Nerve Society. https://bengreenfieldlife.com/mescreen - link will automatically apply $150 off Click here to view a sample MeScreen report Episode Sponsors: BEAM Minerals: If you want to up your mineral game, give BEAM Minerals a try.

Full Show Notes: https://bengreenfieldlife.com/494 In this episode, I dig into the fascinating story of the world’s oldest woman—a vibrant supercentenarian from Spain who made it to 117 years old. I break down what researchers discovered about her genes, lifestyle, and daily habits (you might be surprised by some of the things she ate and didn’t do!). I also get nerdy about the newest longevity drugs and supplements—like curcumin, spermidine, taurine, and a few others you might not expect—and explain which ones actually work, according to the science in mammals. Plus, I share some updates from my own life, like the weirdly exciting health setting I just found on my new iPhone, and spill the beans on why I microdose alcohol (and sometimes other things) instead of going on a bender. If you’re curious about muscle gain (do you really need to be in a calorie surplus?), soft-shell vs hardshell hyperbaric chambers, or how certain supplements might actually help you live longer, you’re in the right place. There’s a lot of info coming your way, and I’ve tried to translate all the geeky science into practical tips for you to use.
