When it comes to foundational supplements, fish oils have stood the test of time as an important source of the omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA that have been lost in modern diets. But there is so much more to these remarkable lipids, which is why we are so excited to speak with Dr. Charles Serhan and Dr. Megan Sulciner, world-leading scientists from Brigham and Women’s Hospital (Boston, MA) on specialized pro-resolving mediators (SPMs) in health and disease. Join us as we delve into Dr. Serhan’s surprising discovery that paved the way for an award-winning career researching how bioactive lipids control the resolution of inflammation. And what better way to get a glimpse into the latest advances in SPMs in the clinic than by speaking with Dr. Sulciner, a clinician-scientist and medical resident in the Serhan Lab, whose ongoing research aims to improve postoperative outcomes for patients through immunonutrition. I’m sure you will love this insightful conversation! ~DrKF

I’m so happy to be here with Dr. Vincent Pedre to dig into emerging science on the microbiome because as Dr. Pedre preaches: it all starts with the gut. On today’s podcast, Dr. Pedre shares extensive clinical pearls from his vast experience in functional gut health in an approachable and fun way as he drills down on possible causes of the challenging gut epidemic we clinicians see in the increasing numbers of IBS patients walking through our doors.

Optimize Women’s Exercise According to Hormone Levels, with Dr. Stacy Sims

FxMed Podcast1 Comment

Today we are taking on a revolutionary and provocative topic that can be quite liberating for women – a deep dive into how to optimize exercise training and performance from the perspective of pre/peri/or post-menopausal. This topic is of great importance to me as a cyclist, and I have to say, there’s a lot of nuance in the way we women should approach training depending on our hormones. My guest Dr. Stacy Sims is a huge talent and tremendous gift — listen as we discuss why women need to train differently than men, including specifics about protein intake, fasting, hormone replacement therapy, and what types of training are best depending on where you are in your cycle. Grab a pen, you’re going to want to take notes! ~DrKF

Reframing Microbiome Support for Functionality, with Dr. Heather Zwickey

FxMed Podcast, FxMed Sponsored Podcast3 Comments

I first met Dr. Heather Zwickey when she was my immunology professor in medical school and made sure to stay in touch with her ever since. Her command of the microbiome literature is frankly unparalleled – and I can always learn more from her and this podcast proves it. Join me in this New Frontiers conversation about the latest perspectives on the microbiome, and a great discussion of all things pre/post and parabiotics. We also get into the rise in autoimmunity conditions post-Covid and ways one can mitigate the risks of these conditions. Smart, timely, and always engaging – I know you’ll think so too. ~DrKF

How to Be Your Own Genetic Engineer, Save Money, and Live Longer, with Dr. Michael Roizen

FxMed Podcast1 Comment

Dr. Michael Roizen is an extraordinarily well-read, well-researched, and experienced physician in the field of longevity medicine. He dates his first interest in the field back to 1979 as head of an intensive care unit, when he recognized that patients who were biologically younger dramatically reduced their risk for post-operative disease and death. Since then, he has worked tirelessly in many ways to help individuals get physically and mentally younger, improving the lives of patients and documenting millions of dollars of savings per year in employee healthcare costs at Cleveland Clinic. In our conversation he shares his lifestyle-forward approach, one that sits well alongside the Younger You program. Tune in to find out the importance of “posse, purpose, play, and locus of control,” how you can be your own genetic engineer, his take on emerging anti-aging interventions, and much more. As Dr. Roizen reminds us, it’s never too late to start: “until you’re six feet under, it ain’t too late to do this.” -DrKF
