We cover the science of nitric oxide, how lifestyle choices impact its production, and why it could hold the key to preventing age-related diseases like Alzheimer’s. You’ll learn simple daily strategies to boost your nitric oxide naturally—without falling for supplement marketing gimmicks.

“There are only two kinds of people who need nitric oxide: those who are sick and want to get well, and those who are well and don’t want to get sick.” - Dr. Nathan Bryan

Mental health care is evolving, and in this episode, Dr. John How, MD, Medical Director at Stella, joins us to explore cutting-edge treatments for PTSD, anxiety, and depression. From the powerful effects of stellate ganglion blocks—described as “vacation in a syringe”—to the life-changing impact of ketamine-assisted psychotherapy, this conversation dives into the science, safety, and soul behind these transformative modalities.

Dating coach and "Ultimate Wing Girl" Marni Kinrys joins us to share real-world advice for men trying to date with purpose in today’s complex dating landscape. From mastering dating apps to breaking out of the friend zone, Marni offers sharp, practical tips for building confidence, leading with authenticity, and attracting the kind of relationship you actually want.

"So many people tolerate being talked at. But no one teaches others how to engage—you have to ask for what you want in a relationship." - Marni Kinrys

Listen in as we navigate the complex world of online dating, addressing the common frustrations and pitfalls encountered by users. From the early days of dating apps, where anonymity was easier, to the challenges of basing attraction solely on appearance, Mani offers strategies for maintaining engagement and discovering potential connections.

In this gripping and mind-opening conversation, Yale psychiatrist and author Dr. James Kimmel Jr. joins us to explore one of humanity's most primal urges—revenge. Drawing from neuroscience, psychology, and personal experience, Dr. Kimmel explains how revenge mimics addiction in the brain and why many of us unknowingly suffer from “revenge cravings.” He shares a deeply personal story of nearly acting on revenge as a teenager, the lessons he learned as a litigator-turned-researcher, and practical, science-backed ways to break the cycle. From mass shootings and bullying to road rage and “revenge bodies,” this episode dives deep into the psychology of retaliation, the illusion of justice, and how forgiveness may be the ultimate act of self-healing.

"Forgiveness shuts down the brain’s pain network, turns off the revenge craving, and reactivates your self-control." - James Kimmel, Jr.

Have you ever wondered why high achievers often stumble into burnout despite their success? In this episode, we unravel the intricate dance between dopamine, serotonin, and the phenomenon we call anhedonia—pleasure deafness that can take down even the most driven individuals with vitality coach Vince Pitstick. We're delving deep into the science behind neurochemicals and hormone sensitivity, revealing how lifestyle changes and diet diversity can help reclaim one’s vitality and stave off serious health risks. We also explore personal insights and groundbreaking scientific research that uncover the hidden challenges and potential pitfalls of living at the peak of performance.

It's a riveting journey into how genetic predispositions can influence mental health and behavior, threading through the tapestry of the Van Gogh effect, where immense focus and drive might teeter on the edge of greatness and madness.

"True resilience is not just about bouncing back from adversity, but about growing stronger and more adaptable with each challenge faced."- Vince Pitstick

The episode segues into the realm of functional medicine and the transformative power of integrating mind and body for unparalleled personal growth. We’ll unravel the profound benefits of peptides, explore dietary variations, and stress the importance of foundational health practices over trendy optimizations.
