    Dr. Tommy Wood: Can Cognitive Decline Be Reversed?
    Mar 24 2026
    Up to 70% of dementia may be preventable, so why aren’t more people talking about what actually drives cognitive decline? In this episode, I’m with Dr. Tommy Wood, neuroscientist and author of “The Stimulated Mind,” to explore the lifestyle levers that protect your brain across a lifetime. Learn how white matter hyperintensities develop and whether they can reverse, what MCTs and ketones actually do for a glucose-starved brain, and why social connection may be the most underrated variable in cognitive aging. What is the one change you could make today that would most protect your brain tomorrow?Want ad-free episodes?

  • HIIT vs. Moderate Intensity Exercise - Which Is Better for Your Health? | Dr. Martin Gibala

    HIIT vs. Moderate Intensity Exercise - Which Is Better for Your Health? | Dr. Martin Gibala
    Mar 17 2026
    Metabolic flexibility is your body’s ability to efficiently burn fat or carbohydrate depending on demand, may be one of the most important and least understood markers of long-term health. In this episode, I’m with Dr. Martin Gibala to explore the emerging science of Fat Max, why mitochondrial quality is central to both performance and longevity, and how sprint interval training produces comparable mitochondrial adaptations to traditional endurance work in a fraction of the time. Could the key to better metabolic health be less about the hours you log and more about how hard you’re willing to push?Want ad-free episodes?

    Danica Patrick Opens Up About Breast Implant Illness, Inflammation, and Starting Over
    Mar 10 2026
    The most decorated woman in motorsports history will tell you she feared losing far more than she loved winning, and that fear is exactly what drove her to the top. In this episode, I’m with racing legend Danica Patrick to unpack the psychology of elite performance, from the “blind faith” that carried her through two decades of racing to the nervous system conditioning she built starting at age 10. What would be possible for you if you learned to channel pressure instead of escaping it?Want ad-free episodes?
