Live Beyond the Norms

Live Beyond the Norms

You want to have a spectacular life. You want to live longer as long as you are healthy mentally and physically. This podcast has been a vision of mine for the last two and a half years. As I continue to share with people the astounding results, 90% extension of life in test subjects, reported in peer-reviewed published research about our molecule ESS60, I started to think about what it would be like to live longer. Not just longer, but ALOT longer. I also started thinking about how living longer would disrupt the vision many people had about their lives and the final years of that life. This podcast is big enough to cover all aspects of Living Beyond the Norms but it will start and probably focus on health and longevity and the cutting-edge research which promises significantly longer and healthier living. It will also cover the unconventional strategies employed today by today's experts to help people Live Beyond the Norms.

For decades, if your cholesterol number came back anywhere below 200, your doctor would tell you it's clear. That's supposed to mean you don't have to worry about a heart attack. As Dr. Christopher Davis explains, not quite. A low number doesn't rule out a blockage. Even if you feel fine, your arteries might not be clean, and that alone could put you on a path toward a heart attack you never saw coming. We examine results from on...

If you have talked about weight in the last few years, you’ve had to mention Ozempic, Mounjaro, or any other GLP-1. And of course, you had to agree that GLP-1s are the worst thing to happen to weight loss since someone convinced us that celery has negative calories. But are these medications really the villain everyone makes them out to be? Ashley Koff has been studying GLP-1 and GIP since 2004, long before Ozempic became a...

Doctors take an oath to care for their patients, but that care rarely extends to themselves.  Dr. Jerry Mixon spent 21 years as a country doctor delivering babies and setting bones, and by his late 40s, the job had slowly hollowed him out. He was depressed, overweight, exhausted, and watching his marriage fall apart under the hours. So he decided to test something on himself before he ever offered it to a patient: rebu...

As a teenager, Lauren Leiva was diagnosed with Crohn's disease. The steroids doctors put her on broke her bones, changed the shape of her face, and left her looking sick. She was in and out of hospitals for years, treated by a system that was guessing as much as it was healing, and she remembers feeling like an experiment rather than a patient. That experience is the reason she built her entire practice around one idea: do no harm....

Health has been a sensitive topic in the United States for nearly half a century at this point. So the fact that 9 out of 10 Americans are not metabolically healthy is alarming, to say the least. While most people are unaware of this, those who are often try to fix the problem by changing their diet. Sure, that helps, but it usually misses the actual switch that needs to be flipped. And that switch is, of course, insulin. Ben Azadi...

Cigarette smoking rates have dropped to historic lows. High-quality generic statins are highly affordable. With all of the advanced diagnostics, effective medications, and a better overall understanding of cardiovascular risk, managing cholesterol is easier than ever. Yet, heart disease still causes roughly 1 in every 3 deaths in the US and is, in fact, the number one cause of death worldwide. For decades, Dr. Alan Rozanski kept se...

Nearly 12 million people are living with Parkinson's disease worldwide, and it's the fastest-growing neurological disorder on the planet. By 2050, that number is expected to more than double to 25 million cases.  Researchers are still racing to understand what actually triggers the disease long before a diagnosis ever happens. Shaina Cahill thinks the answer might start somewhere nobody's looking, and that's the gut. Years bef...

About 75% of people are actively trying to cut down on or completely cut out sugar from their diet. That is not surprising, because sugar contributes to serious illnesses such as type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and even cancer. Unfortunately, cutting out every gram of added sugar might not be enough. Even if you manage to avoid sugar completely, your body will still produce fructose from stress, dehydration, alcohol, and high glyce...

A bone fracture happens roughly every 30 seconds. However, most people do not find out their bones are fragile until they are already on the floor. By then, the window to prevent it has usually been open for decades. For women, the lifetime risk of breaking a bone equals the combined risk of breast, uterine, and ovarian cancer. The bone density test most doctors rely on to catch this predicts less than half the people who will frac...

Roughly 1 in 8 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime. Most will get a high PSA, go to a urologist, get a biopsy, and end up in surgery or radiation. A 15-year government-funded study published in the New England Journal of Medicine found that none of it changed the death rate. Bringing that research to the table is Dr. Stephen Petteruti, a men's health physician with over 30 years in practice. He thinks there...

The answer has nothing to do with your eyes. ​ Bryce and I get into why your prescription should not keep getting stronger every year, and what it means for your brain when it does.

In the 1960s, researchers had people fast for 40 days straight. They expected some of them to die. Instead, their bodies adapted. My guest this week, Casey Ruff, has spent nearly two decades helping people understand what's actually fueling their bodies, and most of what he's found runs against everything we've been taught.

Closing that gap is what Danese Rexroad does.

Only one in twenty people who have migraine ever gets properly diagnosed, and the rest spend years calling it tension or stress or sinus pressure while their brain...
