Promise and Controversies: State of the State of Longevity Science with Matt Kaeberlein, PhD

We’re at an extraordinary inflection point in science, where our understanding of aging is evolving in ways that seemed unimaginable just a decade ago. As we explore these exciting advancements, we’re also faced with the challenge of defining key concepts like biological age, healthspan, and longevity interventions. In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Matt Kaeberlein—one of my favorite voices in this space—for a far-reaching discussion. We dive into everything from aging as a programmed phenomenon to the latest clocks and even the supplements in his personal stack. I’m sure you’ll find this conversation as fascinating and insightful as I did. ~DrKF

You Are Only As Young As Your Immune System with Dr. Greg Fahy

I was thrilled to finally sit down with Dr. Greg Fahy, whose groundbreaking work in aging has truly reshaped our understanding of what’s possible. His 2019 TRIIM study, showing clear biological age reversal through thymus regeneration, was a game-changer. The scientific community was stunned, and rightly so—this was the first real evidence that we can turn back the clock on aging. But Dr. Fahy isn’t stopping there. His ongoing studies hold incredible implications for the future, from potentially reversing autoimmunity to avoiding transplant rejection. Even more exciting is the possibility of creating a standardized protocol that could help other clinicians use these principles in practice. We’re on the brink of something truly revolutionary, and I’m already looking forward to having him back to hear what’s next. This conversation is a must-listen for anyone passionate about the future of longevity.

Latest Research Data on Diet & Other Interventions for Multiple Sclerosis with Dr. Terry Wahls

Join us as we delve into cutting-edge clinical insights with Dr. Terry Wahls, exploring the forefront of multiple sclerosis management. We uncover the pivotal role of dietary patterns, from ketogenic protocols to the impact of olive oil versus coconut oil. Dr. Wahls shares exciting developments in plasma exchange and stem cell therapies, shedding light on their potential in autoimmune conditions and aging. We also explore the revolutionary Octave test, utilizing proteomics and AI to assess disease activity in MS patients. Join us as we navigate through personalized medicine challenges, biohacking for longevity, and the critical importance of adherence in therapeutic success. ~DrKF

Towards Predicting Autism in Utero with Dr. Janine LaSalle

Hold onto your hats, folks. We’re taking a deep dive into game-changing research with Dr. Janine LaSalle, epigeneticist extraordinaire. With autism rates increasing at an alarming rate, it’s been a huge struggle to really put our fingers on anything for diagnostics or prediction. Dr. LaSalle is on a mission to change that. She’ll walk us through her ground-breaking research around mapping the placental methylome, why it can be used as a surrogate marker for the brain, and how using methylation signatures provides insights into interventions that could potentially correct these issues in utero. Simply amazing!

Smart, Actionable Strategies for Childhood Resilience, with Dr. Elisa Song

I’m delighted to welcome back Dr. Elisa Song, a respected colleague and pioneer in pediatric functional medicine. Today, we’re delving into the critical intersection of the gut microbiome and pediatric health. In today’s landscape, families are confronted with daunting challenges. Between the 3000 chemicals hiding in ultra-processed foods, alarmingly high sugar content (sometimes as much as 14 teaspoons in a single drink!), and the pervasive presence of antibiotics in our food supply, it’s no surprise that we’re seeing negative changes in the microbiome, worsening metabolic health, increased allergies, autoimmune disease, and neurodevelopmental issues.
