Beyond the Textbooks: Lessons Medicine Should Teach First With Dr. Josh Helman

Thu, 29 Jan 2026 06:00:00 -0500

Medical education is changing, but not in a good way. What happens when future doctors are trained to follow protocols instead of thinking critically? What if the most important things doctors should learn are the very things being removed from the medical curriculum?

In this episode, I interview Harvard-trained physician Dr. Josh Helman to share what he recently saw firsthand at medical school reunions and why it deeply concerns him. We talk about the gradual removal of hands-on anatomy training, the erosion of deep biochemistry education, and how rushed programs are producing physicians who lack the depth needed to solve complex health problems.

We also explore how standard-of-care medicine, insurance pressures, and pharmaceutical funding shape clinical decisions and why lifestyle, nutrition, and prevention are often ignored despite overwhelming evidence. This conversation challenges the assumption that newer medical training is automatically better and explains why experience, curiosity, and continuous learning matter more than ever.

If you want to understand how medicine really works and how to advocate for better care, listen to this episode.

Movement Culture & the Nervous System: A New Framework With Ido Portal

Thu, 22 Jan 2026 06:00:00 -0500

Exercise has long been associated with injury and burnout because most people think it is all about reps, calories, or checking a box. But what if that mindset is limiting your brain, your nervous system, and your longevity?

In this episode, I interview movement teacher and practitioner Ido Portal to challenge everything we’ve been taught about exercise. We explore why movement complexity, not workouts, is better for brain health, injury prevention, and healthy aging. Ido explains how the nervous system evolved for complex movement, why repetitive exercise causes injury and burnout, and how learning new movement patterns can rewire the brain.

We also dive into practical examples like rock climbing, dance, racket sports, and playful movement, and why these outperform traditional workouts for cognitive resilience.

This conversation completely reframed how I think about training the brain through the body. If you want to move better, think sharper, and age with strength and resilience, the episode is a must-listen.

Hormones, Brain Health, and Alzheimer’s Risk: What Women Need to Know

Thu, 25 Dec 2025 06:00:00 -0500

What if the timing of hormone therapy is increasing women’s risk of Alzheimer’s? In this special holiday episode, I answer listener questions and share critical updates every woman needs to know about hormones, brain health, and Alzheimer’s risk.

New research has overturned decades of fear around hormone replacement therapy, showing that bioidentical hormones, when started at the right time, can be both safe and profoundly protective for the brain. I explain why perimenopause, not menopause, may be the most important window to act, and how hormone loss directly affects memory, sleep, mood, and long-term cognitive health.

I also walk through the most effective brain supplements, including magnesium, Omega-3s, creatine, and emerging longevity compounds, and how to prioritize them without overspending. Finally, I share practical holiday strategies to protect your sleep, manage stress, and support your brain while spending time with family.

The Science of Decisions with Dr. Robert Sapolsky

Thu, 13 Nov 2025 06:00:00 -0500

If you think you understand why people do what they do, you’re probably wrong. In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Robert Sapolsky, a legendary neuroscientist, primatologist, and bestselling author. We explore one of the most controversial questions in science: Do we truly possess free will? Dr. Sapolsky breaks down decades of research on the brain, stress, and behavior to reveal how much of who we are is determined by biology and environment.

We discuss why humans evolved to lie, what makes aggression unique to our species, and why the hippocampus, the brain’s memory center, is a key hub for stress and aging. Dr. Sapolsky also explains how neurogenesis (the birth of new brain cells) actually happens, and why lifestyle factors like exercise, sleep, and diet directly affect it.

You’ll hear his take on why judgment and blame make little sense once you understand the brain, and how embracing this truth can make us more empathetic and less punitive as a society. This is a profound, mind-expanding conversation that redefines what it means to be human and how understanding our biology can make us better individuals.

Influencing Your Genes with Dr. Melissa Ilardo

Thu, 06 Nov 2025 06:00:00 -0500

Can ancient divers and evolutionary biology reveal the secret to aging strong and staying sharp for life? In this fascinating episode, I interview evolutionary biologist Dr. Melissa Ilardo to explore what we can learn from one of the world’s most extraordinary populations–Korea’s Haenyeo (female divers), many in their 70s and 80s, who dive daily in freezing ocean water without oxygen tanks.

Dr. Ilardo explains how these women maintain exceptional cardiovascular and brain health into late age, thanks to lifelong breath-hold diving, cold exposure, and constant physical activity. The conversation explores how voluntary discomfort, such as cold exposure, helps build resilience and strengthen the nervous system.

Dr. Ilardo also dives into the grandmother hypothesis, the idea that the presence of healthy, active grandmothers helps extend human lifespan by improving survival and success in subsequent generations. She highlights how social connection, purpose, and environmental stressors shape gene expression and promote healthy aging.

Tune in and be inspired by practical longevity lessons rooted in human evolution to keep the brain and body young.

Dave also introduces a genius concept called BICEP (brief, intentional, conscious, exposure to pain) to boost motivation and improve brain health.

If you want better focus, more energy, and real peace of mind, this conversation is a must. Whether you're biohacking your morning routine or healing deep emotional wounds, Dave delivers tools that work.

Tune in and learn how to reboot your mind and body without waiting 40 years.
