Dr. Fahy’s research was the first to demonstrate the potential of biological age reversal as measured by all epigenetic clocks available in 2019. This was an extraordinarily exciting moment in science.Hear all about that journey and what he and his team are working on now. Still underappreciated (in my opinion) is the fact that his protocol regenerates the thymus gland in older individuals. The implications of this are massive.
Cardiovascular disease might be the leading cause of death, but after my conversation with Dr. Mark Houston, I’m more convinced than ever that we have the power to change that narrative. We delved into the power of diet and lifestyle changes, the essential role of nitric oxide and the impressive results of new supplements like Vascanox HP by Calroy Health Sciences in managing blood pressure. Dr. Houston’s passion for prevention and the practical tips he shared made me feel hopeful and empowered. From understanding key tests to making everyday changes, this episode is all about giving you the tools to protect your heart health. Let’s dive in and explore how we can all live longer, healthier lives. ~DrKF
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
Today, we’re diving deep into a breakthrough in skincare science that has caught my attention—OneSkin’s OS-01 peptide. This episode explores how OS-01 targets cellular senescence, the core of aging, potentially transforming skin health.I’m particularly impressed by OneSkin’s commitment to rigorous research and evidence-based results. Their approach not only aims to rejuvenate skin but also enhances its natural radiance and elasticity. This could be a significant advancement for individuals managing aging skin or conditions like atopic dermatitis.
If you’re looking to elevate your approach to inflammation and pain management, this episode is for you. Today, we dive into a fascinating conversation with registered dietitian Ashley Koff. We discuss the intricate role of specialized pro-resolving mediators (SPMs) and their potential applications in various health conditions, from inflammation and pain management to neurodegenerative diseases and autoimmune disorders. We also explore the nuances of gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) and its importance in functional medicine, particularly for women in perimenopause and menopause. If you’re curious about the latest insights on using SPMs in conditions like Lyme arthritis, chronic infections, and even concussions, this episode is packed with valuable information. We’ll also touch on practical strategies for incorporating these powerful molecules into your therapeutic protocols, ensuring your patients receive the most comprehensive care possible.
This pioneer scientist mapped the human placental methylome. That is, all of the DNA methylation marks on the placenta, and has associated changes with neurodevelopmental disorders. She’s also demonstrated the influence of toxins and insufficient folate. Of the many implications inherent in her work, very exciting to me is the fact that we are moving toward in utero diagnostics using mom’s blood (ie, a standard blood draw). My hope is one day we will identify issues and address them all before baby is born!
In this episode, we’re diving into the forefront of understanding adverse food reactions, a topic that’s experiencing a significant paradigm shift in both perception and treatment strategies. Our guest, Dr. Thomas Fabian, a leading expert on the role of the microbiome, will shed light on the underlying pathophysiology of these reactions. We’ll discuss specific gut microbes and microbial functions identified in recent studies, providing concrete examples of their involvement in various types of adverse food reactions.Join us as we navigate through the latest advancements in immune tolerance understanding, microbial variances in the gastrointestinal tract, and the profound influence of GI physiology on adverse food reactions.Stay tuned for an enlightening discussion that will undoubtedly shape the future of functional medicine practice. ~DrKF
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.
I am paying attention closely to research coming from the largely untapped world of postbiotic compounds and their essential role in human physiology. I have had the honor to talk quite a few times with Dr. Anurag Singh, and always the clinical (and preclinical) research that he and his team are up to looking at postbiotic wunderkind urolithin A (a compound produced by GI bacterial action on precursor compounds found in pomegranate) are thrilling, powerful and illustrate how wildly important these compounds are in human physiology
Today, I am honored to connect with Dr. Heather Sandison, whose work in reversing Alzheimer’s is nothing short of groundbreaking. Her dedication challenges the status quo of dementia care, offering real hope and tangible solutions. We’ll explore the intricacies of Alzheimer’s disease, from its elusive diagnosis to the shortcomings of traditional pharmaceuticals. Together, we’ll navigate the realm of evidence-based interventions, from early detection to personalized treatments, all aimed at optimizing cognitive function and overall well-being. Join us for a conversation that promises to ignite new possibilities in our approach to dementia care.
