What if your bloating, fatigue, or fertility struggles aren’t separate issues, but signs of a deeper imbalance no one’s connected yet?
In this episode of Extend, I’m joined by Dr. Robin Berzin, founder of Parsley Health, and we dig into how functional medicine uncovers the why behind your symptoms and why conventional care keeps missing it.We talk about the most overlooked root causes of chronic illness, the truth about blood sugar and hormones, and why fertility issues are often metabolic in disguise. You’ll also learn how functional medicine works in real life, how to find the right provider, and why Dr. Berzin created her “brains, bones, and booty” framework for aging well—especially for women.
Dr. Robin Berzin is a Columbia-trained MD, pioneer in reimagining primary care and author of State Change. She’s helped thousands of patients get off the prescription treadmill and finally feel like themselves again.

What if the root cause of burnout, inflammation, and hormone dysfunction isn’t just physical—but energetic?
In this episode of Extend, I sit down with Dr. Pedram Shojai—Taoist monk, doctor of Oriental medicine, and author of The Urban Monk—to explore how ancient wisdom meets modern health. We unpack why true healing requires addressing your qi (life force), how emotional stagnation leads to physical disease, and why regulating your energy is just as important as optimizing your bloodwork.
From the microbiome to meditation, Dr. Pedram shares how restoring energetic flow can radically shift your metabolism, mood, and even your fertility. And we go deep on what most functional medicine still misses about the connection between spiritual vitality and long-term health.
Dr. Pedram Shojai is a former Taoist monk, acclaimed filmmaker, and best-selling author who’s helped millions reconnect with their body, breath, and purpose. His work bridges ancient healing systems with today’s most pressing health challenges.

What if your exhaustion, brain fog, or cravings aren’t a motivation problem—but a sleep problem no one’s diagnosed yet?
In this episode of Extend, I’m joined by Dr. Michael Breuss, a sleep specialist, and we dig into why so many high performers are chronically under-recovered, why sleep disorders go undetected for years, and how wearables are both helping and hurting.
We talk about why 8 hours might be the wrong goal, how your chronotype should determine your schedule, why snoring isn’t harmless, and the link between GLP-1s and sleep apnea. You’ll also learn how mouth tape works, the surprising truth about blue light, and why most hydration habits fail.

Most people focus on physical health. But after years of practicing medicine, I’ve seen this truth again and again: you can’t heal your body if your mind and nervous system are stuck in survival mode.

We dive into the science behind the placebo effect, how intuition works, why regulating your nervous system is foundational for longevity, and the simple daily practices that can completely shift your biology.

What if aging isn’t just inevitable—but programmable?
In this episode of Extend, I sit down with Dr. Kara Fitzgerald, pioneering epigenetic researcher and author of Younger You, to explore how your daily choices—food, movement, sleep, stress—can literally rewire your genes to slow down aging. We unpack her groundbreaking study showing biological age reversal in just 8 weeks without drugs, injections, or extreme protocols.
You’ll learn how DNA methylation impacts everything from inflammation to longevity, which “epinutrients” flip your genes in the right direction, and why your salad might be more powerful than your supplement stack.
Dr. Kara Fitzgerald is a functional medicine physician. Her clinical trial was the first to show biological age reversal through diet and lifestyle alone. She’s also the author of Younger You.

What if your real age isn’t on your driver’s license—but buried in your biology?
In this episode of Extend, I’m joined by Chris Mirabile, founder of NOVOS and one of the few people actually slowing down his pace of aging. We break down why the average person is aging faster than they realize, and how mainstream medicine is decades behind when it comes to prevention.

Most supplements don’t work. Some might actually harm you.
That’s the hard truth no one in the $50 billion supplement industry wants to say out loud—but we will.In today’s episode of Extend, I’m joined by Steve Martocci, co-founder of SuppCo, to expose what’s really going on behind the labels. We break down why “clinically dosed” means nothing, why the FDA isn’t protecting you, and how two identical bottles can deliver completely different outcomes.
We also dive into the myth of “FDA-approved” supplements, the loopholes brands exploit to mislead consumers, and why Europe bans ingredients still allowed in U.S. formulas.

What if the reason you can’t focus, feel chronically overwhelmed, or keep slipping into the same unhealthy habits… isn’t a discipline problem, it's your brain’s biology working against you?
In this episode of Extend, I'm joined by Dr. Austin Perlmutter, board-certified internal medicine physician and neuroscientist, to explore how inflammation hijacks your brain’s decision-making and what you can do to take back control.
We dig into why modern life wires your brain for reactivity over intention, the shocking impact of neuroinflammation on mood and behavior, and how daily habits are either fueling the fire or calming the system. You’ll learn practical tools to reduce brain-body inflammation, support cognitive clarity, and make better choices even under stress.

In this episode of Extend, we’re digging into one of the most dangerous—and most overlooked—drivers of heart disease: LP(a).
You could have a clean lifestyle, normal labs, and still be at high risk for a heart attack or stroke. Why? Because LP(a) isn’t included in standard cholesterol tests—and 1 in 5 people have elevated levels without knowing it.
I break down what LP(a) actually is, why it’s more inflammatory and damaging than LDL, and how it contributes to plaque, heart attacks, strokes, and valve disease. You’ll learn why lifestyle changes don’t lower it, what to do if your levels are high, and how cutting-edge RNA therapies could offer hope.
I also share exactly which labs and scans to request so you’re not flying blind.
➡️ If you care about preventing cardiovascular disease, this is essential listening. It’s time to add LP(a) to the conversation.

What if the reason you're tired, inflamed, or not recovering the way you used to has nothing to do with aging, and everything to do with your NAD system being under attack?
In this episode of Extend, I’m joined by Dr. Charles Brenner, the scientist who discovered nicotinamide riboside (NR) and one of the leading experts on NAD metabolism. We unpack why NAD is so critical for energy, repair, and resilience, and why simply “taking NAD” isn’t the solution most people think it is.
We also break down the key lifestyle factors quietly draining your NAD levels, the real difference between NMN, NR, niacin, and IV NAD, and why NR may be the safest and most effective way to support your body’s natural repair systems. Dr. Brenner also shares the science behind NAD’s role in inflammation, immunity, and recovery, and why placebo-controlled research is the missing piece in so many longevity conversations.
Dr. Charles Brenner is the Alfred E. Mann Family Foundation Chair in Diabetes and Cancer Metabolism at City of Hope and a leading authority on NAD metabolism. His work bridges fundamental science with real-world application.

What if the hidden toxins in your everyday life are secretly sabotaging your health, hormones, and longevity? Most people underestimate how deeply their health is impacted by toxins—and conventional medicine isn’t addressing the root of the issue.
In this episode of Extend, I'm joined by Dr. Aly Cohen, renowned integrative rheumatologist, environmental health expert, and author of the upcoming book, Detoxify. We uncover the shocking truth about the tens of thousands of unregulated chemicals lurking in your home, food, water, and even your skincare products—and reveal why detox isn’t about trendy cleanses, but smarter daily choices.
We dive into why microplastics have infiltrated every part of your body (including your brain), how seemingly innocent products are disrupting your hormones, metabolism, and immune system, and what practical steps you can immediately take to dramatically reduce your toxic exposure.
Dr. Cohen shares eye-opening facts on why your tap water is more polluted than you think, why household dust is toxic waste in disguise, and how simple nutritional strategies can powerfully protect you from environmental harm.

In this episode of Extend, we’re rethinking everything you’ve been told about cholesterol.
For decades, the focus has been on lowering LDL, but that’s only part of the story. The truth? LDL and total cholesterol are outdated metrics. If you're still relying on those alone to assess your heart health, you’re missing the bigger picture.I’ll break down why ApoB is the single most important number to track when it comes to cardiovascular disease, and how it gives a much clearer view of your real risk. You’ll learn how plaque forms, why inflammation and metabolic dysfunction matter just as much as cholesterol, and how to approach your heart health with precision.
I'll also cover how to lower ApoB naturally, when medication might make sense, and how advanced scans like CLEARLY can help guide your strategy.
➡️If longevity is your goal, this episode is a must-listen. Let’s move beyond outdated labs and into next-gen heart prevention.I Also Discuss:

What if the reason your supplements aren’t working has nothing to do with your body—and everything to do with what’s in the bottle?
In this episode of Extend, I’m joined by biochemist and ingredient formulator Shawn Wells, a leading voice in evidence-based supplementation and mitochondrial health. Together, we uncover why so many products fail to deliver results, how to build a smarter, personalized stack, and what most people get completely wrong about vitamins, probiotics, and biohacking.
We get into the dangers of proprietary blends, why over 80% of supplements on Amazon may be underdosed or inactive, and what blood tests and wearables really reveal about your health. Shawn also shares his foundational stack—from GLP-1 agonists to mitochondrial protectors—and explains why dosing and timing matter more than you think.
If you’re relying on guesswork when it comes to supplements, this episode will change your approach for good.

In today’s episode of Extend, we’re tackling a crucial health issue: high blood pressure. Often called the "silent killer," high blood pressure increases your risk for heart attacks, strokes, kidney disease, and more. But what if you could prevent these risks before they escalate?
I’ll break down why measuring your blood pressure at home is far more effective than relying on a single doctor’s visit. You’ll also learn about the SPRINT trial and why keeping your blood pressure at 120/70 can significantly improve long-term health.
We’ll explore practical steps to manage high blood pressure, including improving your sleep, reducing stress, optimizing metabolic health, and incorporating strength training. Plus, I’ll discuss how new medications and emerging technologies like continuous blood pressure monitoring are transforming care.
This episode is all about prevention and early intervention—two key elements to living a longer, healthier life. If you’ve been ignoring your blood pressure, now’s the time to take control. Tune in!
