Send a text What happens when your body breaks down at 18—and doctors offer no answers? Bryan Hardy shares his incredible journey from near-death to vibrant health, and how his struggles with digestion, burnout, and low testosterone led him to create Revitalized Man, a program helping men heal their guts and reclaim their vitality. We talk about: How gut health drives energy, immunity, mood, and hormonesWhy bloating, gas, and fatigue are early warning signsThe truth about “normal” digestion—a...
1Send a text Elastin might be the most important protein you've never heard of. In this episode, bestselling author and health innovator Douglas Mulhall joins Uncommonly Remarkable to explain how this flexible, long-lasting fiber impacts everything from cardiovascular disease to glaucoma. You'll learn how elastin degradation contributes to aging, how hidden stressors like heavy metals and infections affect it, and what groundbreaking therapies are finally addressing it. We dive into: The immun...
Send a text In this episode, learn more about the content of the podcast that will follow. Uncommonly Remarkable℠ is a health and wellness show focused on understanding how the body works and how everyday choices shape long-term health. I’m Artis Beatty, a doctor of optometry and Chief Medical Officer at MyEyeDr. While my professional background informs how I think, the perspectives shared here are my own.
Send a text I have intentionally avoided talking about eyes on this show — even though I am an optometrist — because I never wanted the conversation to narrow into prescriptions and lenses. But vision is larger than refractive error. Vision determines autonomy. It affects how safely you drive, how steadily you move, and how independently you age. It also provides one of the only direct windows into living neural tissue and blood vessels anywhere in the body. In this episode, I explain why cla...
Send a text We recently talked about protein as infrastructure — an ongoing expense tied to what we expect our bodies to maintain. That framing still stands. But there’s a broader mistake that often shows up before we even get to the accounting. When we want to improve muscle, recovery, or long-term health, we usually start by asking how much protein we should eat. The question isn’t wrong. It’s just rarely the first one that matters. In this episode, I explore why hierarchy matters more than...
Send a text Protein dominates health conversations — but are we focusing on the wrong lever? In this conversation, Carson and I unpack muscle preservation, hormones, fiber, and where peptides actually fit into long-term health. Protein is one of the most talked-about nutrients in modern health culture. But true protein deficiency in the United States is rare — while other foundational elements of health are often overlooked. In this conversation with Carson, we step back from the macro-counti...
Send a text Most people who say they function fine on six hours of sleep are not lying. They are describing how it feels. The problem is that sleep loss alters perception before it causes obvious collapse. I explore how sleep architecture recalibrates emotional regulation, decision-making, and cognitive bandwidth; why subjective performance stabilizes while objective performance declines; how REM and deep sleep shape perception; and how modern habits fragment complete sleep cycles. Rather tha...
Send a text The body doesn’t follow nutrition rules. It keeps accounts. You can also checkout the video version of this episode here: https://youtu.be/ClVdbSaG_8Q Protein is one of the places where that accounting becomes visible. Muscle tissue is constantly being built and broken down, and when intake doesn’t consistently exceed the cost of what the body is being asked to maintain, the system adjusts quietly. Not through breakdown, but through reduced margin. In this episode, I explain why p...
Send a text Most people take supplements expecting clear, predictable results. In practice, supplements rarely work that way — not because they’re useless, but because expectations are misaligned with how the body actually adapts. In this episode, I explain: Why supplements feel inconsistent even when people “do everything right”The difference between support and substitutionWhy context matters more than the product itselfHow expectations, physiology, and behavior quietly shape outcomesThis i...
Send a text This is an authored monologue from Uncommonly Remarkable℠. Burnout doesn’t usually come from a lack of motivation. It shows up in people who are capable, disciplined, and consistent—often the ones holding the most responsibility. In this episode, I explore why burnout is often caused by structure rather than effort, how identity load becomes concentrated over time, and why relying on a single pillar for meaning and stability makes even strong systems fragile. I introduce an altern...
Send a text This is an authored monologue from Uncommonly Remarkable℠. Most people don’t fail at fitness because they lack discipline — they fail because they’re running a system that was never designed for real human lives. In this episode, Artis explains why motivation-based fitness plans break down, how time and complexity sabotage consistency, and why better design beats willpower every time. Drawing from a recent conversation with PJ Glassey, this monologue reframes fitness as an enginee...
Send a text This is an authored monologue from Uncommonly Remarkable. We tend to recognize mental health struggles when they look like crisis — when things fall apart, when someone withdraws, when distress becomes visible. But many people struggle in a different way. They function. They perform. They stay disciplined. And because of that, their distress often goes unnamed. In this monologue, I explore a pattern that shows up frequently — especially in men — where discipline becomes a coping m...
Send a text This is an authored monologue from Uncommonly Remarkable. Personal health responsibility is not about blame — it’s about clarity. In this episode, I explore the line between what healthcare systems are built to do and what they can never fully own for us. Acute care saves lives. But long-term health still depends on daily decisions, awareness, and personal agency. This is a conversation about responsibility, not judgment — and about what changes when you stop waiting for systems t...
Send a text This is an authored monologue from Uncommonly Remarkable. Gratitude is usually treated as a mindset shift — but the body experiences it first. Chronic stress, dissatisfaction, and vigilance create a real physiological cost over time, even when we don’t feel “burned out.” In this episode, I explain why gratitude isn’t abstract or emotional fluff, but a biological signal that influences the nervous system, recovery, and long-term health. This is Uncommonly Remarkable. Thanks for lis...
Send a text I’m joined by cardiologist Julius Torelli for a conversation on how thoughts, stress, and daily habits shape physical health. We explore chronic illness, the limits of modern medicine, the physiological effects of gratitude, and what it means to take ownership of well-being. Julius also shares his path from traditional cardiology to founding Gratefully Well.

Send a text A lot of people don’t feel great — but because they’ve felt that way for years, they call it “normal.” Chronic fatigue. Bloating. Brain fog. Low drive. Relying on caffeine just to function. None of that feels urgent enough to act on, so it becomes a baseline instead of a signal. In this monologue, I unpack a simple but important idea: your “normal” might actually be symptoms — and the gut is often where that story begins. We talk about why most people don’t have a true baseline, h...
Send a text Most health problems don’t appear overnight. They develop quietly—as signals—long before symptoms show up. In this episode, I explore a different way of thinking about health: not as diets, hacks, or genetic destiny, but as feedback, resilience, and direction over time. We talk about why biology rarely “breaks,” why genetics usually aren’t the main driver, how metabolic flexibility shapes long-term health and mental clarity, and why learning to notice early signals matters far mor...
Send a text Most relationships don’t break in one big moment — they drift through small, unspoken patterns. Relationship mentor Peter Anderson shares how couples can reconnect by understanding the nervous system, practicing true listening, and bringing back play (without using humor in a way that cuts). We explore emotional safety, repair after conflict, and practical ways to communicate needs without blame. Learn more: https://playforcouple.co.uk/ Why the “10% i...
Send a text What actually happens to the brain after trauma — and why do some people get stuck in PTSD while others grow stronger? In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Bhargav Patel, a child and adolescent psychiatry fellow at Brown, researcher on trauma and post-traumatic growth, former chief medical officer of a healthcare AI company, and founder of a vegan nutrition startup. We explore how neuroplasticity, epigenetics, and neurogenesis shape the brain; how nutrition, slee...
Send a text Biohacking isn’t supposed to be a personality trait or a toy box of gadgets. Done well, it’s a structured way to improve your healthspan – how well you live, not just how long. In this conversation, Troy Laing, founder of Culture OC in Newport Beach, shares how he went from a childhood marked by trauma and addiction to building a biohacking and regenerative health center that blends psychology, technology and community. We talk about: What “biohacking” actually means when you stri...
