Join me and my esteemed guest, Dr. Charles Brenner, PhD for a fascinating journey through the science of aging and longevity, where we explore the complexities and truths behind what it really means to age gracefully. We challenge the notion that aging is a disease and instead discuss practical strategies for maintaining our vitality—physically, mentally, and emotionally. As we debunk myths like the exaggerated benefits of resveratrol, listen in as we emphasize evidence-based insights and dismantle the disparity between scientific facts and the marketing of anti-aging remedies.
Venturing into the realm of genetics, our conversation turns to the role of sirtuins and other genes that have sparked interest in the longevity market. Both initial hype and subsequent rigorous research may temper expectations, but it reminds us of the nuanced relationship between genetic research and its implications on human aging. Moreover, we examine the essential role of NAD in metabolism and how factors like alcohol consumption can compromise this crucial coenzyme system, affecting our health and aging process.
Wrapping up, we shift our focus to practical lifestyle choices that can optimize health, such as the balance of diet and exercise, and the role of GLP-1 drugs in weight management. We highlight the impact of NAD and its precursors like NR on cellular health and DNA repair, offering insights into their supplementation and clinical applications. Don't miss this episode filled with valuable knowledge that could transform the way you think about aging and longevity - or go against the advice of your favorite podcast!

It was then that he learned the hard way that daily choices, from fork to thought, have the power to be both poison and panacea.

Did you know that there is ONE PHASE OF SLEEP that almost everyone fails to get enough of? And this one phase of sleep is responsible for most of your body’s daily rejuvenation, repair, controlling hunger and weight loss hormones, boosting energy, and so much more?
I’m talking about “deep sleep”
And if you don’t get enough, you’ll probably struggle with cravings... slow metabolism... premature aging... or even worse conditions.
Why don’t most people get enough of this 1 most important phase of sleep? A BIG reason is magnesium deficiency because over 80% of the population is deficient in magnesium.
Magnesium plays a key role in regulating your body’s stress-response system. Those with magnesium deficiency usually have higher stress levels... which negatively impacts sleep.
Now, before you go out and buy a magnesium supplement, it’s important to understand that most products out there only have 1-2 forms of magnesium when the reality is, your body needs ALL 7 FORMS of this essential sleep mineral.
That’s why I recommend Magnesium Breakthrough.
Magnesium Breakthrough contains all 7 forms of magnesium designed to help calm your mind and help you fall asleep, stay asleep, and wake up refreshed
Best magnesium supplements for sleep
Promotes a balanced stress response, feel relaxed and at peace
Sleep faster and deeper
A key nutrient for healthy immune responses
Provides an essential electrolyte to maintain healthy rhythm
Provides a key building block to strong bones

Have you ever felt a shift in energy when walking into a new city or during a pivotal moment in your life? My conversation with Danny Miranda takes us on a journey through such vibrational landscapes, as we discuss mind-blowing concepts like muscle testing and David Hawkins' map of consciousness. We tap into how these tools can reflect the ebb and flow of our emotional states and even the collective pulse of the city you call home.
There's a serene power in surrender, a lesson I've come to appreciate through meditation and making time for stillness. These moments spark a new approach to my podcast and real-life conversations, seeking authenticity and presence over meticulous preparation. Sharing a transformative encounter with Mike Posner, Danny reveals how letting go can lead to beautiful, organic interactions that stay with you long after the mic is off.
Bringing our chat home, Danny shares a heartfelt story of growth and engagement, inviting us to live EVER FORWARD with love, joy, and peace. We close this episode inspired, pondering how presence, kindness, and heartfelt communication are not only the essence of a good podcast but also the foundation of a life well-lived. Join us for an episode that’s as much about the depths of human consciousness as it is about the simple, yet profound, act of being truly present with one another.

This is a comprehensive journey into the world of sobriety, sober-curious, and the multifaceted impact of alcohol on our bodies. From gut microbiome disruptions to hormone imbalances and nutrient depletion, Dr. Brooke Scheller, DCN, CNS peels back the layers of alcohol's influence on our health. With her personal sobriety story and background in functional medicine as well as clinical nutrition, she is sharing an insider's look into the complex relationship between our drinking habits and overall well-being, and why the social narrative around alcohol's health benefits needs a sober second thought.
Brooke shines a light on the lesser-discussed effects of alcohol on our hormones and stress levels, exploring how even moderate consumption can throw our delicate hormonal balance out of sync. As a society inundated with stress, understanding alcohol's interaction with cortisol is more important than ever. She also provide insights into how alcohol's presence in our lives might be hindering more than just our physical health, but our personal growth and ability to reach our full potential as well.
Dr. Scheller also addresses the nutritional strategies that can help manage the effects of alcohol and support those on the path to reduced consumption or sobriety. Whether you're curious about the science behind alcohol's impact on the body or seeking motivation for your own sober or sober-curious journey, this conversation will help you identify how alcohol may have affected your health and how to heal your body.

We're peeling back the layers of addiction and sobriety's complex landscape with the help of Dr. Blair Steel, guiding us through the science and heartache of substance dependence. Embrace the nuances of "California sober," a term that's as multifaceted as the journeys of those who walk the line between recovery and relapse. Our discussion spans from the shifting tide in marijuana legislation to the perils of fentanyl-laced recreational drugs, stressing the critical need for a strong foundation of sobriety for those grappling with addiction.
Blair also explains the intricate dance of emotions and avoidance behaviors that often lead individuals to substance abuse. Through the lens of generational attitudes and the biochemistry of addiction, we dissect how dopamine's allure and the brain's quest for homeostasis can contribute to dependency on substances and activities alike. From the potency of emotional support to the delicate balance required in holistic healing, our conversation illuminates the importance of facing our feelings head-on for true mental health and personal growth.
