Thinning hair now strikes women harder than ever, often showing up with bald spots and handfuls lost long before age 30. Traditional fixes like minoxidil demand lifelong use while masking symptoms, yet real recovery starts deeper.

I welcomed Cristina McKay, founder of EverBella, who turned her own traumatic hair loss journey into a mission for gut-supported, bioavailable nutrition that rebuilds strong hair, glowing skin, and confidence from within.

She reveals why stress and hormonal chaos accelerate shedding, how conventional collagen fails most people due to poor absorption, and the breakthrough micelle liposomal technology that changed everything for her and thousands of customers.

Imagine growing pounds of living, enzyme-rich superfood with just a jar, water, and seeds, using almost no resources while getting up to 100 times more nutrients than mature vegetables.

I sat down with Doug Evans, bestselling author of The Sprout Book and founder of The Sprouting Company, to explore why sprouts became his lifeline after family health tragedies and how he lived exclusively on them for months in the desert.

In this episode, we talk about the high nutrient density of broccoli sprouts and the power of sulforaphane for detoxification and insulin regulation. We discuss why every sprout delivers complete proteins naturally and how simple home sprouting beats grocery produce for freshness and environmental impact.

Doug opens up about his journey from army paratrooper to a health entrepreneur, the lessons from Juicero that shaped his approach, designing the perfect sprouting system, and why sprouts deserve center stage in any longevity-focused diet.

Breaking a hip after age 50 carries a shocking 50% chance of death within a year, yet conventional fitness and drugs fall dramatically short of fixing bone loss.

I sat down with Dr. John Jaquish, the biomedical engineer behind OsteoStrong and X3, to expose why weightlifting and cardio barely move the needle on bone health or real strength gains. We unpack how high-impact emulation safely triggers massive bone growth, why variable resistance builds far more muscle than barbells ever could, and the game-changing circadian approach to testosterone that delivers steroid-like benefits without the downsides.

John shares the personal story that drove him to invent OsteoStrong for his mother's osteoporosis, the exact loading threshold that stimulates bone growth, and why most gym routines waste time on joint stress instead of real adaptation. We also cover low-carb living, smart use of GLP-1 agonists for resetting cravings, and his upcoming sublingual testosterone protocol that mimics natural pulses for peak performance.

"The strongest guy in the world does not achieve the minimum to stimulate bone growth." - Dr. John Jaquish

A single camping trip triggered years of rapid decline, mysterious hair loss, brain fog, and bedridden days, yet one woman turned it around without antibiotics and rebuilt her life.

I sat down with Erika Schlick, who battled celiac disease, Lyme disease, mold toxicity, multiple autoimmune issues, and finally lipedema. She shares how gluten sparked alopecia, why traditional doctors dismissed chronic Lyme, and how shifting to an autoimmune paleo protocol gave her the first real clarity.

We talk about ozone therapy, herbal frequency tinctures, plasmapheresis, and the stem cell treatment that cleared her Lyme symptoms but unexpectedly triggered massive weight gain, leading to her lipedema diagnosis.

Erika also opens up about the dark emotional days, the power of nervous system regulation, and why listening to your body beats blindly following popular trends.

Ancient humans ate dirt-covered root vegetables and fermented foods loaded with bacterial fragments, and that constant low exposure could explain why modern hygiene is backfiring on our health.

I had a great conversation with Dr. Steven Gundry about lipopolysaccharides, those inflammatory molecules from gram-negative bacteria that trigger massive immune reactions when injected, yet seem to calm the system when we eat tiny amounts from plants, spices, grains, and soil.

He explains why he once cursed LPS in earlier books but now sees real benefits from controlled oral exposure, how fermentation has always neutralized harmful lectins, and why pastured chicken is finally becoming easier to find.

We also touch on the hygiene hypothesis, kids eating dirt, dog owners having better microbiomes, and why over-cleanliness might be leaving our immune systems untrained.

"Bacteria are not bad in and of themselves. As long as there's a balance and the terrain is in balance, then the good guys never overwhelm the bad guys." - Dr. Steven Gundry

A sensitive stomach and endless antibiotics as a kid left Dr. Vincent Pedre with a wrecked gut he never understood until much later. Now, he helps thousands rebuild their guts to quiet inflammation, sharpen the mind, and live longer with real energy.

In this episode, we unpack why leaky gut quietly drives most chronic issues today, how endotoxins from bad bacteria trigger weight gain and insulin resistance, and the surprising truth behind acid reflux that keeps millions on unnecessary meds.

Dr. Pedre shares the Stanford study showing fermented foods beat fiber for dropping inflammatory markers, why microplastics in coffee cups sabotage your mucus barrier, and how calming your nervous system is non-negotiable for actual healing.

He also explains his personalized 14-day Gut Smart Protocol, the power of vagus nerve practices, and why a healthy microbiome might be the biggest longevity lever we have.

In this flashback episode, Chris Burres sits down with Dave Asprey to break down metabolic health, insulin resistance, and what actually drives longevity. We’re revisiting this conversation because science still holds up, and matters more than ever. Dave explains how metabolic dysfunction can develop years before standard blood tests show problems, and why insulin is often the earliest and most overlooked warning sign.

Chris and Dave also cover practical ways to improve metabolic flexibility, including fasting insulin testing, continuous glucose monitoring, and nutrition strategies that avoid rigid rules. They discuss keto, fasting, and intentional flex days, emphasizing personalization over perfection for long-term, sustainable health.
