It’s one of the greatest causes of tension, relationship breakdown and ultimately separation or divorce - infertility. Couples that are unable to conceive are 30% more likely to separate, which makes sense given the financial, emotional and physical toll of that journey. That’s why it’s heartening to speak to my guest today Dr Gabriela Rosa, a fertility specialist who brings babies to the couples who had tried everything else and were on the verge of giving up their family dream. Going ...
“What else do I not know that I don’t know”. Asking this question was the catalyst of my guest’s biohacking and health success story.

Because biohacking is not about spending $2 million on unaffordable gadgets and novel treatments, and my amazing guest today Julie Gibson Clark is living proof that foundational lifestyle techniques outperform everything else.Julie Gibson Clark, a...

What is hidden in your chocolate, our creams, our shampoos, toothpastes and yes even our sausages! The skullduggery hidden in the products we use in our everyday lives is frightening. From M&Ms to kombucha and anything smelly, it takes a chemical detective like Ben Katz to uncover the deceptiveness of modern industry.Ben Katz is a Proteomics Specialist at UC Irvine, where he focuses on mass spectrometry and protein analysis to advance biomedical research. Ben’s work plays a critical role ...
Treating root causes not diseases are at the core of functional medicine, and that includes hormonal health. If someone is hormonally deficient and unbalanced, simply put they’re in trouble. It’s the reason why girls are reaching puberty 4 to 5 years earlier than generations before, and women are hitting perimenopause often a decade too early! And that reason is they are vitamin and mineral deficient, sunlight deficient, sleep deficient, stress excessive and therefore hormonally deficient.&nb...
This one is about the kids, and it’s sad to say - the kid’s are not alright. Just 50 years ago, chronic disease in children and teens was a rarity. Now it’s the norm. I know things are bad, I talk about it and see it everyday, but when my guest today told me between 40% and 60% of American kids and teens have at least one chronic disease I was stopped in my tracks. We need to do something now to stop this unfolding catastrophe, and that is exactly what integrative pediatrician Dr. Joel “Gator...

We are not biological beings. This huge misconception and misunderstanding about human health could be why chronic disease continues to soar, and why despite having more doctors, even functional health doctors, hospitals and medicine than ever before, health outcomes are still deeply worrying. Because in reality, humans are bioelectrical beings, and as my guest today explains in great detail, by ignoring the electrical component and the specific treatments associated with it, it is to human h...
This episode is a bridge between the science and gadgets of biohacking and our human ancestral and evolutionary reality. There is a host of protocols and stacks and gizmos that can improve your mental performance but as my guest Kris Gethin discusses we all risk becoming “static ornaments”, using fancy products and exotic supplements to stay sharp when the root cause of poor mental performance is fundamentally a lack of movement of our bodies. So this is my movement masterclass - how to move,...
It’s been 3 years since he was last on the show, so it was time to check in with integrative medicine specialist and member of my scientific advisory board Dr Leland Stillman. This is Dr Leland’s third appearance on the show, in which we discussed and debated the experiences we are seeing in our functional medicine clientele. What’s working, what’s not and what diagnostic tests we are finding are uncovering the most valuable and actionable data points.Get Dr Stillman’s new book now - https://...

This is my topic of 2024 - food. We need it to survive, and we need it to thrive, but food is also the most frequent and widespread choice for abuse, over use and addiction. My sense is that by better understanding and unpacking the human relationship with food in modern times, including ultra-processed food, the more people will feel able to break the chains of enslavement to food addiction, disorders and abuse that is at the crux of obesity, diabetes, neurodegenerative disease and many more...
An enormous array of health and performance problems can be distilled into one word - disconnection. Mental health distress is usually a disconnection from our purposes and community. A disease like cancer has been described as a malady of separation. Diabetes is a disconnection from natural foods. And at a higher level, all of these are disconnections from the Earth. Which is why earthing or grounding is such a fascinating health philosophy, and one I explore in this episode with a true...
I know how many of you feel. Ashamed at constantly failing a diet, ashamed you can’t lose the weight, wondering why you don’t have the willpower, embarrassed you don’t have the means or the time to treat yourself better. Well, there is hope, and that hope starts by admitting we are addicted, meaning we are enslaved to something - sex, drugs, money or sugar. This episode was a sobering, clear-eyed realization that even someone like myself who is aware of the addictive nature of sugar did not f...

Migraines are crippling experiences for their sufferers. They often also come in concert with a host of other devastating symptoms that can wreak havoc in people’s lives. Yet, they have eluded medical treatment for years, with success here and there for certain types and some lucky patients, but overall, many remain quote unquote untreatable. Well, Dr Kevin Smith and his 90% success rate has something to say about that.Dr. Kevin Smith is one of the few facial plastic surgeons who is board cer...
Are we all addicts? When it comes to processed food I am concerned. This is a sobering episode about the horror processed food is wrecking in people’s lives who are largely totally unaware of what is happening to them. With 93% of adults in the US having a metabolic diagnosis of some kind, we as a culture need to wake up quickly because processed food seems to be coming for all us. You need to know this, and share it with family and friends.If this episode speaks to you, join Dr Joan’s daily ...
This is an episode I wish everyone would listen to. Gut health genuinely builds the foundation of our health, but it is far more nuanced and fascinating than even I realized!
