    GLP-1 Drugs & Bariatric Surgery Explained by a Top Obesity Researcher | Dr. David Allison
    Mar 31 2026

    In a world flooded with conflicting health advice, how do you actually figure out what’s true? Dr. David Allison, one of the most rigorous scientific minds in obesity and nutrition research, shared the exact framework he uses to evaluate evidence, from peer-reviewed trials to podcast recommendations to AI-generated summaries. He explains the difference between trusting science as a process and trusting individual studies, why most nutrition epidemiology functions more like advertising than research, and how ordinary people can build a reliable filter for health claims without a PhD.

  • Dr. Tommy Wood: Can Cognitive Decline Be Reversed?

    Dr. Tommy Wood: Can Cognitive Decline Be Reversed?
    Mar 24 2026
    Up to 70% of dementia may be preventable, so why aren’t more people talking about what actually drives cognitive decline? In this episode, I’m with Dr. Tommy Wood, neuroscientist and author of “The Stimulated Mind,” to explore the lifestyle levers that protect your brain across a lifetime. Learn how white matter hyperintensities develop and whether they can reverse, what MCTs and ketones actually do for a glucose-starved brain, and why social connection may be the most underrated variable in cognitive aging. What is the one change you could make today that would most protect your brain tomorrow?Want ad-free episodes?

  • HIIT vs. Moderate Intensity Exercise - Which Is Better for Your Health? | Dr. Martin Gibala

    HIIT vs. Moderate Intensity Exercise - Which Is Better for Your Health? | Dr. Martin Gibala
    Mar 17 2026
    Metabolic flexibility is your body’s ability to efficiently burn fat or carbohydrate depending on demand, may be one of the most important and least understood markers of long-term health. In this episode, I’m with Dr. Martin Gibala to explore the emerging science of Fat Max, why mitochondrial quality is central to both performance and longevity, and how sprint interval training produces comparable mitochondrial adaptations to traditional endurance work in a fraction of the time. Could the key to better metabolic health be less about the hours you log and more about how hard you’re willing to push?Want ad-free episodes?
