This week, Tee welcomes Dr. Paul Dabney, NMD, MPH, M.Ed., a naturopathic physician and CEO of The Center for Natural Health and Optimal Wellness, for a conversation on rethinking diabetes care through prevention and integrative medicine. With over 20 years of experience in clinical research, medical writing, and public health, his work has included contributions to The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, The Food and Drug Administration, Michigan State University School of Veterinary Medicine, and The U.S. Army Medical Corps, along with teaching roles in naturopathic education.

In this episode, Dr. Paul shares how his path into naturopathic medicine was shaped by both scientific training and personal heritage. Drawing from his background in microbiology, antimicrobial resistance, and public health, along with his mother's Cherokee-based healing traditions, he offers a perspective that bridges conventional and holistic care.

Throughout the conversation, Dr. Paul emphasizes that while medications can be helpful, they may also contribute to nutrient depletion or unintended side effects in some cases. He highlights the importance of key nutrients such as zinc, vitamin D, magnesium, and vitamin B6, along with foundational lifestyle factors like sleep, stress management, cortisol balance, and access to quality food. He also shares practical strategies to support blood sugar stability, including simple combinations like pairing fruit with proteins and healthy fats.

This episode reinforces that lasting health comes from consistent, informed choices. If you are looking to take a more proactive approach to your health, this conversation offers both clarity and actionable steps.

This week, Tee is excited to welcome Chris Burres for an in-depth look at longevity and the power of ESS60 supplements. Chris is the founder and chief scientist at MyVitalC, author of Live Longer and Better, host of the Uncovering the Secrets to Longevity Health Summit, and host of the Live Beyond The Norms Podcast. His life's mission is to help people live longer, healthier, happier, pain-free lives with science.

Together, Tee and Chris explore key drivers of aging, including oxidative stress, inflammation, stem cell decline, and telomere shortening. Chris introduces ESS60, a carbon-based molecule discovered at Rice University, and explains its potential role in supporting mitochondrial health through his BOSS (Buffering Oxidative Stress System) theory.

Chris also discusses reported user benefits such as improved energy, sleep, and recovery, along with product formats, dosing considerations, and upcoming research initiatives. The conversation concludes with insights into pricing and a special discount opportunity for listeners.

This week, Tee welcomes Caleb Granger, the founder and President of Apex Medical, to explore the emerging science behind stem cell-derived exosomes and their potential role in healing, regeneration, and longevity. Caleb explains that many forms of chronic decline are not simply the result of aging, but of reduced cellular communication and diminished regenerative signaling in the body. Caleb breaks down the science behind exosomes, which are nano-sized particles released by stem cells that carry proteins, growth factors, and biological instructions that help coordinate repair and healing across tissues and organs.

Drawing on more than 25 years of experience working on the business side of spine, neurosurgery, orthopedic surgery, and medical device innovation, Caleb explains the difference between stem cell therapy and exosome therapy. Much of the healing potential associated with stem cells comes from the signals they release rather than the cells themselves. Because exosomes are acellular, they cannot replicate or transfer full genetic information, which many researchers believe may make them a safer way to deliver regenerative signals. Tee and Caleb also discuss how exosomes are sourced from donated placental and umbilical tissue, and screened rigorously to maintain the highest safety standards.

The conversation also explores how exosome therapies may help address systemic inflammation and support recovery in conditions such as joint degeneration, cartilage damage, tendon and ligament injuries, neurological conditions, tinnitus, and metabolic disorders like type 2 diabetes. Caleb also shares insights on delivery methods, including IV therapy and injections, and explains why these therapies remain largely outside traditional insurance coverage and how he and his team are looking to change that!
