In the wake of my father’s recent cancer diagnosis, my focus has sharpened on the critical realm of early cancer detection. This unexpected event injected a surge of urgency into my unyielding quest for preventive wellness, leading me back to the brilliant Dr. Ahvie Herskowitz. Embark on a journey into preventive health as I reunite with Dr. Ahvie, the founder of Anatara Medicine, one of the most comprehensive IV treatment centers in Northern California. The multidisciplinary integrative center in San Francisco treats some of the most difficult chronic health conditions using a unique integrative approach and a host of modern medical technologies and tools. Dr. Ahvie is a former Clinical Professor of Medicine at UC San Francisco (UCSF) and the personal physician to some of the Bay Area's top biohackers, celebrities, actors, and longevity enthusiasts, along with a wide range of patients looking for eradication of issues like mold, spike protein, fungus, viral particles, and much more. His training includes a medical degree from The Albert Einstein College of Medicine and a Chief Residency in Anatomic Pathology and Internal Medicine, followed by fellowship training in cardiology at The Johns Hopkins Medical Center.  During his 12 years at Johns Hopkins, Dr. Ahvie was co-appointed in the Departments of Medicine and Molecular Immunology and Microbiology. His clinical responsibilities were complemented by directing a multidisciplinary NIH-sponsored research team in the study of molecular immunological and genomic mechanisms of inflammation and cell injury, autoimmunity, transplantation, congestive heart failure, and myocarditis. Today, Dr. Ahvie is back to impart his wealth of knowledge on colon cancer, spanning early detection methods, cancer screening, preventive remedies, and the vital role lifestyle and diet play in managing and preventing this condition. This episode promises a thought-provoking journey into the intricacies of colon health and its profound implications for overall well-being.

Picture this: A seven-year-old boy, glued to the television, has his heart pierced by the plight of a starving child from a world away. His young eyes are the same that, years later, would peer through the lens of a camera, capturing stories that demand to be told. This boy, my guest Jonathan Otto, grew up to be a man who wouldn't just watch—he'd act, creating waves in the realm of investigative journalism and humanitarian aid. As a result of volunteering throughout his adolescent years, Jonathan, at the age of 18, became a Youth Ambassador for the charity, World Vision. World Vision organized his first volunteer mission to Africa. Faced with the despair and hopelessness of poverty, Jonathan’s passion to help others grew deeper. From an Australian Youth Citizen of the Year to a fearless creator who has had brushes with death in Africa, Jonathan's life reads like a script from one of his own documentaries. But this script is real, and it's filled with selfless acts of bravery, not for glory but driven by an indomitable desire to uplift humanity. Not even the loss of a comrade to thieves' bullets could deter him from his mission. Instead, it solidified his resolve, funneling his zeal into his charitable endeavors and truth-seeking. Jonathan's quest for uncovering and addressing concealed afflictions has transcended into the health and wellness sphere, leading to acclaimed docuseries like "The Truth About Cancer" and "The Truth About Vaccines (with Ty Bollinger)", "Diet Against Disease (with Dr. Joseph Mercola)", and his own groundbreaking series "Bible Health Secrets" and "Autoimmune Secrets". These works aren't just films; they're his crusades for truth, crafted to enlighten and empower audiences worldwide. Jonathan is happily married to his wife, Lori. They are committed Christians and regularly speak at their local San Diego, California church. This episode isn't just a dive into the unconventional; it's a spotlight on a life that embodies the relentless search for truth—a life that has captivated international audiences through TV broadcasts, print media, national news, and radio. Brace yourself for an encounter with the man behind the lens, where the pursuit of wellness transcends the physical, tapping into the profound depths of the human spirit and the power of unyielded conviction.

Imagine waking up to a morning with clear thoughts and a body that's ready to leap out of bed - even after a night that included a few glasses of your favorite Cabernet. Sound impossible? Not anymore. My curiosity always gets the best of me, especially when it involves the cutting edge of health technology. That's why when I heard about today's guest Zack Abbott's quest to conquer the after-effects of alcohol with something as simple as a probiotic, I knew I had to get the full story. Picture this: A scientist working diligently in an HIV research lab, struck by a lightning bolt of inspiration. This isn't the beginning of a sci-fi movie; it's Zack's real-life journey as a revolutionary thinker who saw potential where others only saw a dead end. Zack's credentials are as impressive as his ambition – a PhD in Microbiology and immunology, paired with hands-on experience in clinical trial design, has armed him with the expertise to turn visionary concepts into tangible solutions. With the company that resulted from his aha! moment, ZBiotics, Zack is carving a new path in the health industry. Launching the world’s first genetically engineered probiotic is no small feat, and the implications are massive. Not only has he opened up a new way to diminish the dreaded hangover, but he's also paving the road for a future where probiotics go beyond gut health, potentially transforming the approach to everyday wellness. In this episode, Zack and I delve into the science of probiotics like never before. We'll uncover the secrets behind genetically engineering these tiny allies to tackle acetaldehyde, explore the potential future applications of Zack's technology, and maybe even touch on how a classical art & archaeology background pairs with modern genetic innovation. Prepare to look at your morning-after in a whole new light. Full Show Notes: https://bengreenfieldlife.com/zpodcast Episode Sponsors: Lucy Gum: Go to lucy.co and use discount code BEN20.

Time and time again, I'm reminded that it's the microscopic intricacies of my body (and yours!) that have monumental effects on my performance, longevity, and well-being.  And Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD+) status is one of the "biggest" smallest molecules to consider. NAD+ is a molecule of paramount necessity to mitochondrial function, energy production, and yes, aging. Your NAD+ status is one of the most important things to consider not only for your longevity but for your energy and well-being.  Because NAD+ is at the forefront of the health and wellness industry right now, and because I've gotten so many questions about it, I recently published a comprehensive article titled "Everything You Need To Know About NAD+: The Crucial Role It Plays In Your Mitochondrial Health, How NAD+ Slows Down Aging & Increases Energy, Ways To Increase NAD+ Using Lifestyle, Why NAD+ Precursors May Be Problematic & A Safe, Cost-Effective Oral NAD+ Supplement Strategy." Today, I'm following up on that article with a complementary podcast that's sure to help bolster your understanding of this little miracle molecule. Together, Dr. Michael, Matt, and I are diving deep into the world of NAD+. Discover the essential role it plays at the cellular level, the factors that deplete it, and the smorgasbord of ways to naturally elevate its levels. We'll also shed light on groundbreaking research, decode alternative delivery methods, and unveil the truth behind the NAD+ hype. Step with the three of us into the intriguing realm of NAD+, where we'll explore together how this tiny molecule plays an outsized role in your health and vitality.

After a recent cardiovascular wake-up call, my quest for optimal heart health led me straight to Dr. Jack Wolfson. You might recognize him as the board-certified cardiologist who’s been transforming the world of heart health with a natural approach, and whose book, The Paleo Cardiologist: The Natural Way to Heart Health, skyrocketed to an Amazon #1 best-seller. If you've ever had an inkling that the route to heart health might not lie solely in pharmaceuticals, Dr. Jack's work and message will probably resonate. Once immersed in the conventional world of cardiology, performing coronary angiograms and pacemakers, his life took a holistic turn after meeting his chiropractic wife, Heather. Together, they are not just a force in the medical world but also pillars of philanthropy. With four children, their mission extends beyond medicine; they are ardent advocates for a better world, channeling their efforts into providing for those in need, championing animal rights, and passionately promoting natural health causes. Today, Dr. Jack stands at the forefront of natural cardiology, advocating for a paradigm shift where the root causes of heart problems are addressed rather than resorting to Band-Aid fixes. Through his websites NaturalHeartDoctor.com and TheDrsWolfson.com and his venture, Cardiology Coffee, Dr. Jack bridges the gap between heart health and a natural lifestyle.  During today's show, I'll be discussing my personal heart health journey and introducing Calroy, a pioneering heart health supplement company whose products, including Vascanox and Arterosil, are crafted with the synergy of science and nature. Dr. Wolfson and I will unpack the nuances of the endothelial glycocalyx in heart health, shed light on the importance of Salivary Nitric Oxide testing, address the concerns surrounding glyphosate, and much more. Additionally, Dr. Wolfson provides insights into sulfur deficiencies and offers his perspective on radiation and CT scans. If you're as enthusiastic as I am about transformative solutions for foundational health, this segment promises to be enlightening and informative.
