High Cortisol Mysteries Unveiled, The Adrenal Fatigue Myth, Advanced Lab Blood Testing & More!

Bryan Johnson is a successful entrepreneur, investor, and visionary thinker - and now, based on his incredibly popular age reversal Blueprint here - is now an icon in the age reversal and longevity communities. His recent foray into incorporating longevity science into his Blueprint includes results such as: 5.1 yrs epigenetic age reversal Slowed pace of aging by equivalent 31 years Now aging slower than the average 10 yr old Ideal muscle & fat (MRI) 50+ optimal clinical outcome biomarkers 100+ markers < chronological age Several fitness tests = 18yr old Body runs 3°F cooler He is perhaps best known for co-founding Braintree, a payments company that was sold to PayPal for $800 million in 2013. After the acquisition, Johnson turned his attention to developing the next generation of transformative technologies. He founded OS Fund, a venture capital firm that invests in companies working on scientific breakthroughs to solve some of the world's most pressing problems. Johnson's passion for using technology to enhance the human experience led him to launch Kernel, a company that is building advanced neural interfaces to augment human intelligence. Kernel's mission is to create a new era of human intelligence by building hardware and software systems that can augment, repair, and improve cognitive function. Johnson believes that these technologies have the potential to fundamentally transform the way we live and work, and could ultimately help us solve some of humanity's greatest challenges. In addition to his work with Kernel and OS Fund, Johnson is also a philanthropist and supporter of various social and environmental causes. He has pledged to donate at least half of his wealth to charitable causes, and is a signatory of The Giving Pledge, a commitment by some of the world's wealthiest individuals to give away the majority of their wealth to address society's most pressing problems. In this discussion with Bryan, you'll learn how to use deep science and quantification to push the boundaries of what's possible for you in the realms of lifespan and health span.

Tim Gray is the UK’s Leading Biohacker and Founder of the Health Optimisation Summit June 17-18 2023. In this episode, Tim tells us about his fitness routine, supplement routine (we share an affinity for Timeline Nutrition), and general dietary methods. Like me, Tim has tried A LOT of biohacking devices. We get to hear about his favorites and some of the devices he thought were totally silly until he tried them and became hooked. Tim first joined me in the podcast How UK’s Leading Biohacker Eats, Drinks, & Optimizes His Life: An Interview With Tim Gray. As I covered in that episode, he is known for his detailed tracking of more than 35+ biomarkers per day, appears frequently in the mainstream media to discuss practical, trackable, and immediately applicable health hacks, and is featured on over 30 podcasts a year. After his own journey of self-healing from chronic health conditions using biohacking, Tim embarked on a mission to educate and empower the masses. As such, he created the Health Optimisation Summit, Europe’s largest health conference that showcases the best speakers from the health, biohacking, fitness, longevity, nutrition, functional, and preventative medicine spaces (including yours truly) in order to provide people with the knowledge, tools, and resources to take their own health and performance to the next level.

If you've ever looked into ketogenic diets or ketone supplementation, you may have already heard of H.V.M.N.  As one of the most research-backed companies in their field, they make one of the best supplemental ketones on the market.  The company was first founded in 2014 by my former podcast guests Geoffrey Woo and Michael Brandt (see Geoffrey Woo's interview and Michael Brandt's interview.)  Since that time, the research on ketones has exploded. In 2018, H.V.M.N. products affiliated with United States Special Operations Command were tested as part of Operation Tech Warrior, and in the 2019 Tour de France, multiple cycling teams including Team Jumbo–Visma and Lotto–Soudal confirmed usage of ketone ester for performance and recovery.  My guest on this show is H.V.M.N.'s research lead Dr. Latt Mansor, who holds a Ph.D. in Physiology, Anatomy, and Genetics from the University of Oxford. He also holds an MA (Columbia University) and a BS (University of Nottingham) in Biotechnology. Latt brings over a decade of experience spanning academic research, health technology, and pharmaceuticals to the H.V.M.N. team, and now, to this conversation.  He oversees all the scientific development and clinical applications for all H.V.M.N. products, and this episode is all about what the company actually makes and how their products work, including how to time and dose ketones as a supplement.

One of the leading voices on birthing and raising a baby naturally, along with plenty of other holistic principles for Ob-Gyn medicine, is my guest on this podcast: Dr. Nathan Riley, of Beloved Holistics. Nathan is a board-certified obstetrician in California advocating for autonomous birth. Through his experiences as a hospice care provider he learned that choices around end-of-life care are no different from choices in birth: What matters is that mothers feel in charge of their bodies during their birth experiences.  He argues that birth is much more than the standard metrics of vital signs, length of labor, fetal status, or any variable routinely measured in labor in the medical model of care. Nathan also recently launched his "Born Free Method," a course aimed at empowering expectant parents to take control of their birthing experience by making informed choices and advocating for themselves within the medical system. Joined by co-instructor Sara Rosser, CPM, Nathan's course provides guidance and support to help parents feel confident and supported as they navigate the transition into parenthood, emphasizing the importance of personal sovereignty and self-determination throughout the process (use code BEN10 to save 10% on the Born Free Method). Hear one courageous OB's perspective on his role in the birth process: Supporting your sovereignty and your choice without coercion or judgment.

Himalayan Tartary Buckwheat (let’s call it “HTB” so as not to get too long in the tooth) is a hardy plant that has been farmed in Asia for generations but is largely unknown in the rest of the world. Modern analyses have revealed that HTB contains significantly higher levels of phytonutrients compared to common buckwheat—up to a 100-fold increase of certain immune-strengthening flavonoids. It also contains other nutrients that help build, maintain, and protect muscles and lean tissues throughout the body, improve how it deals with certain toxins, produce cellular energy, and more. Yes, that’s all from one tiny humble buckwheat plant. Thanks to those health benefits, HTB is a go-to ingredient of mine in the kitchen, and I feature it in several recipes in my Boundless Cookbook. The mastermind behind HTB is Dr. Jeffrey Bland, Ph.D., a Clinical Biochemist known as the “Father of Functional Medicine.”An immunity expert, the founder of the Institute for Functional Medicine (IFM), best-selling author, thought leader, and educator, Dr. Bland is also the president of Big Bold Health, the company that produces HTB. Big Bold Health's mission is to engage people worldwide to actively participate in reshaping the conversation about immunity, resilience, and the interconnectedness of plants, people, and the planet. Dr. Bland is advocating for the power of immuno-rejuvenation to enhance immunity at a global level.
