Bryan Johnson began his life as an entrepreneur, buying, selling, and growing companies like Venmo to build a healthy living for himself. Several years ago, he became fascinated with the idea of maximizing human technology to extend the length and quality of one's life as far as possible. Today, he lives as the most tested man in the world at the center of "Project Blueprint", where drawing on his access to wealth and resources, he pushes the boundaries of human existence to see if he can become the oldest person of all time. As someone who has pushed back quite strongly against biohacking and "optimizing" one's health beyond homeostasis, I was fascinated to ask Bryan about his approach to life and fact-check him on a few of his theories.00:00 Intro01:42 Baby Steps From Superintelligence14:33 Tracking Your Life21:28 Overpopulation24:55 Colonoscopy / Testing30:08 Lessons For Normal People36:32 Plasma Transfusions From His Son42:11 HGH Harms44:50 Sleep Tracking / Sleep Score50:30 Harms Of "Don't Die"

David Rush is an electrical engineer from MIT, but that's not what he's known for. Instead of his impressive scientific achievements, David is in pursuit of becoming the Guinness World Record holder for... holding the most Guinness World Records. He's pushed his body to extreme lengths in his journey to now hold over 160 world records with more coming all the time. I invited him on the show to share his story and detail exactly how he's managed to stay healthy despite the constant physical toll record-breaking has on his body.

Bea Amma went to a med spa a few years ago to receive a Vitamin B12 injection, and it nearly took her life. Since that fateful day, Bea has been battling a debilitating case of mycobacterium which has been eating her skin. It's forced Bea out of jobs and caused her to build up millions of dollars of medical debt. Today Bea is here to tell her story, but not just to garner sympathy, rather Bea is an advocate for systemic change, saying we must hold the currently unregulated med spa industry accountable for their spread of misinformation and dangerous, unproven health treatments that can ruin the lives of people they claim to treat.

Supervisory Special Agent Brenda Born leads the FBI's operation behind battling Online Blackmail, otherwise known as "Sextortion". This is a horrible practice with predators on the internet will target children, pretend they are friendly, convince them to share explicit images, and then hold those images ransom in exchange for money. This not only results is significant financial loss for children and families, but can destroy the mental health of a child or even lead to death. The FBI contacted me about doing a piece on Online Blackmail, and I agreed it was a very serious problem affecting young people that we need to discuss openly and often.

Layne Norton is scientist, author, and record-setting weight lifter specializing in nutrition. One of my favorite things about Layne is his commitment to debunking misinformation, whether it come from snake oil salesman... or me, which is actually the basis of our relationship. Layne called me out for some comments I had made in the past, and despite our initial adversity, I assured him we had more in common than he realized. So, I invited Layne onto the show to dive deep into the ozempification of weight loss, snake oil salesman, and the problem with modern day health podcasts.

Ginny Kaltenbach is not just any nurse, but my nurse, having working alongside me for the last 10 years in New Jersey. Ginny and I are great friends and coworkers, but we developed a new type of relationship this last year where Ginny actually became one of my patients. You see, Ginny was suffering from debilitating pain in her back, and after hearing her side of the story, I realized I wasn't happy with her treatment plan. So, I made Ginny book an appointment with me so we could get to the bottom of her pain. This turned out to be an excellent decision for many reasons detailed in this episode. We don't just talk about Ginny's health though, but also do a deep dive into our relationship and Ginny's opinions on the healthcare system as a nurse who has seen it all, and then some, in over 40 years on the front lines.

Cristo Fernandez was a start soccer player in Mexico, well on his way to playing for the national team, when a horrific knee injury sidelined him for the rest of his life... or so he thought. The life-altering injury sent Cristo down a new path, eventually taking him the the UK where he studied acting, and eventually landed himself the role of Danny Rojas on the hit Apple+ series, Ted Lasso. Now Cristo is starring in Transformers: Rise of the Beasts, and shows no signs of slowing down, knee injury and all.

Watch the full video interview here: https://go.doctormikemedia.com/youtube/GundryVODDr. Steven Gundry began his career as a highly-successful cardiologist and heart surgeon. In more recent years, he has pivoted away from surgery and more into preventive medicine at his clinic in souther California. Dr. Gundry is a highly vocal advocate for a wide variety of highly controversial health claims, often centered on the gut microbiome and "lectins", which are found inside foods like tomatoes and bell peppers that he claims have disastrous effects on your health. Over the years, I've had issues with many of the things Dr. Gundry has said, so when his team reached out about having him come on the show to promote his new book "Gut Check", I was eager at the oppurtunity. That being said, I was quickly to communicate to Dr. Gundry's team that not only would this be a contentious discussion, but that I would also bring in my friend Dr. Danielle Belardo, a heart and diet expert in her own right, to join the discussion and get down to the truth about a number of Dr. Gundry's most extreme claims. To his credit, Dr. Gundry accept, and this conversation is what followed.Follow Dr. Gundry here:Website and pre-orders for Gut Check: https://drgundry.com/YouTube Podcast: https://www.youtube.com/@DrGundryYouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@GundryMDYTFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/GundryMD/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@gundrymdFollow Dr. Danielle Belardo here:IG: https://www.instagram.com/daniellebelardomd/Linked In: https://www.linkedin.com/in/danielle-belardo-366369241/Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/DBelardoMD

Howie Mandel is one of the biggest media stars in America, especially impressive considering he's Canadian. Howie is known for being a judge of America's Got Talent, the host of Deal or No Deal, and played an ER physician on the 80's medical drama, St. Elsewhere, amongst over 20 Tonight Show appearances and countless other opportunities in film and tv. With all that being said, something else people know about Howie is that he struggles with OCD, anxiety, depression, and germaphobia, amongst many other things. Today we dove deep on the medical side of Howie Mandel, a conversation I'm grateful he was so open to having.
