Send us a text Rian Smoak thought he was chasing an Ironman finish line. But as he tells it, “that finish line became my new start line.” Dr. Kevin White reconnects with a longtime friend and endurance athlete whose story runs far deeper than training plans and race photos. Rian shares how growing up under chronic stress shaped his drive, how a health scare forced him to rethink what “healthy” actually means, and how one defining moment in Kona led to the creation of TRI-DAT: a mission ...
Send us a text When effort stops producing results, it’s often not a motivation problem. It’s a physiology problem, especially as hormones begin to shift. In this conversation, Dr. Kevin White sits down with Katie Hardy, Colorado-based board-certified holistic nutritionist and strength and conditioning specialist, to explore why fitness, diet, and exercise stop working the same way over time, particularly for women navigating perimenopause. Drawing from her work with high-performing athletes ...
Send us a text Arthritis and joint pain are not just “wear and tear.” They are mechanical stress layered on top of hormonal shifts, metabolic strain, chronic inflammation, and muscle loss. In this conversation, Dr. Kevin White sits down with Dr. Joshua Schachter, board certified orthopedic surgeon and founder of Pinnacle Integrative Orthopedics and Sports Medicine in Wichita Falls, Texas. After performing more than fifteen thousand surgeries and leading an Advanced Orthopedic Center of Excell...
Send us a text For decades we assumed vision was fixed. You were either born with good eyes or you weren’t. But the science tells a different story: vision is a trainable brain skill, and strengthening the eye-brain connection can improve clarity, stamina, focus, and even emotional regulation. Dr. Kevin White sits down with neurooptometrist Dr. Bryce Appelbaum to break down why screen fatigue, headaches, slow reading, dizziness, and post-concussion symptoms are often rooted in visual skills t...
Send us a text Whole body MRI is changing prevention from a guess into something you can actually see. Dr. Kevin White talks with Dr. Dan Durand, Johns Hopkins trained radiologist and Chief Medical Officer at Prenuvo, about how full body scans are catching silent problems early: from fatty liver and visceral fat to aneurysms, early cancers, and brain changes linked to cognitive decline and dementia. They unpack how Prenuvo’s model pairs deep imaging, multiomic data, and real conversations wit...
Send us a text Glutathione is the body’s master antioxidant: central to detoxification, oxidative stress control, and cellular repair. Dr. Kevin White sits down with Dr. Nayan Patel, PharmD, adjunct professor at USC and author of The Glutathione Revolution, to unpack what glutathione is, why levels drop with age, and how smart habits and targeted support can move the needle on longevity and performance. “Think of glutathione as the maid of the body: it takes out the trash so your cells can ...
Send us a text He spent 33 years inside the system: selling for major healthcare companies, believing he was part of something that helped people. But over time, the seams started to split. Tim Organ began to notice the quiet forces shaping modern medicine: consolidations, pharmacy benefit managers, and rebate games that rewarded higher prices instead of better outcomes. “They’re not choosing the best drug for you. They’re choosing the one with the biggest rebate.” Today, Tim shares what it f...
Send us a text What if getting older isn’t decline, but feedback? In this conversation, Dr. Kevin White talks with health coach and author Zane Griggs about what really changes after 40 and why strength, recovery, and smart nutrition matter more than willpower. After decades in the fitness world, Zane discovered that doing everything right, eating clean, training hard, and fasting was leading to burnout instead of progress. As he puts it, “If you’re not honoring sleep, nutrition, and recovery...
Send us a text Heather’s back, and you already know what that means: real questions, zero filter, and a lot of laughs. This time she’s grilling Dr. Kevin White about peptides, “perfect aminos,” recovery supplements, and whether any of it actually matters or if it’s just great marketing. They dig into: • How amino acids really work for muscle growth and recovery • What peptides are, why everyone’s talking about them, and what’s safe (and what’s not) • The truth about greens p...
Send us a text What if one of the most powerful tools for slowing biological aging has been hiding in plain sight for decades? This week on The Daily Apple, Dr. Brad Younggren joins us to unpack therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) and why it could be a game-changer for longevity. Dr. Younggren is an emergency medicine physician, U.S. Army combat veteran, and now CEO and co-founder of Circulate Health . Under his leadership, Circulate has completed more than a thousand treatments across 24 clini...
Send us a text Exercise is not just about looking good. It is medicine. Dr. Mary Pardee is back with us to talk about why movement is one of the most powerful and most overlooked prescriptions we have. We get into muscle as “money in the bank” for aging, how to think about strength training if you hate weights, and why consistency beats motivation every single time. Speaking about resilience and muscle, Dr. Pardee put it this way: “Yeah, it’s like a retirement account, right? Where you ...
Send us a text From NHL enforcer to mental health advocate: Daniel Carcillo’s story is as raw as it is redemptive. After a career defined by fights, concussions, and two Stanley Cups, Daniel found himself battling depression, dementia-like symptoms, and suicidal thoughts. His turning point came through an unexpected path: psychedelics. “This medicine didn’t just ease my symptoms. It gave me back my brain, my purpose, and my relationships.” In this conversation, Daniel shares how psilocybin an...
Send us a text We all know movement is good for us. But can the right kind of exercise actually slow the aging process itself? In this episode, Dr. Kevin White talks with Benjamin Miller, Ph.D., professor of aging research at OMRF and past president of the American Aging Association, about what really happens to our muscles and mitochondria as we age, and how his new NIH-funded clinical trial is working to answer one of the most important questions in longevity science: why do some people res...
Send us a text Most of us go to the doctor, get labs drawn, maybe even have a scan — and then never see the full picture of our own health. That’s changing. In this episode of The Daily Apple, Kevin talks with Travis Bond, founder of Bio Insights, about the future of electronic medical records (EMRs) and why they’re not just for doctors. EMRs are becoming the backbone of how patients can actually see, understand, and act on their health information. This isn’t a tech episode for physicians. I...
Send us a text Grief is something we all face, yet most of us aren’t prepared for it — and it’s costing us more than we realize. In this conversation, Dr. Kevin White talks with Emma Payne, founder and CEO of Help Texts, about what really happens to our minds and bodies after loss, why grief can shorten lifespan if ignored, and how simple, science-based support can change the outcome. Emma shares her personal story, the inspiration behind Help Texts, and the surprising link between grief, bra...
Send us a text In this episode, Dr. Kevin White sits down with longtime patient and strategist Chris Dingess for a high-level, human-centered breakdown of the 8 key performance indicators that actually measure aging well — and how to reverse-engineer them using simple, lifestyle-driven inputs. From VO2 Max to visceral fat, insulin sensitivity to sleep quality, this conversation connects the dots between what you measure and what actually matters for long-term health. If you're goal-driven but...
Send us a text Most people say they want to live longer. Fewer stop to ask: what does “longer” actually feel like? In this follow-up to last week’s conversation, Dr. Matt Kaeberlein sits down again with Dr. Nicki Byrne and Dr. Kevin White — this time for an especially detailed, behind-the-scenes deep dive into the blood work and biomarkers that actually matter for health span. If you’ve ever wanted to understand labs like ApoB, LP(a), fasting insulin, ferritin, hormone panels, or genetic test...
Send us a text Most people say they want to live longer. Fewer stop to ask: what does “longer” actually feel like? In this episode, Dr. Kevin White joins Dr. Nicki Byrne and Dr. Matt Kaeberlein for a fast-moving, smart, and practical conversation about health span — and what it really takes to stay strong, clear, and independent as you age. The trio breaks down the four pillars of health (eat, move, sleep, connect) and how to apply them in real life. You’ll hear stories from the clinic, data ...
Send us a text In this episode, Kevin and Brian go full AMA-mode with a question that gets asked all the time: "If you were starting over—at 30, 40, 50—what would you do differently with your health?" They cover the wins, the regrets, and the stuff they wish someone had told them way earlier. From wasted money on “meh” supplements to the scans they’d never skip today, this one’s a mix of hindsight, hard truths, and helpful takeaways you can start using now—no shame required. Oh, and ye...
Send us a text Some conversations don’t just stick with you—they shape you. In this episode, Kevin sits down with Echo VanderWal, co-founder of The Luke Commission in Eswatini, for a conversation that’s been years in the making. What unfolds is more than a story about global healthcare—it's a testament to what can happen when compassion meets calling. Echo shares the remarkable journey of building one of the most impactful medical missions in southern Africa, from tackling the HIV crisis wi...
