Muscle isn’t just about strength or performance — it’s metabolic armor. In this episode of The Metabolic Link, Dr. Andy Galpin sits down with hosts Victoria Field and Dr. Dominic D’Agostino to show how muscle, cardio fitness, and bone density work together to protect against decline and extend healthspan. From women’s training and recovery practices to kids in the weight room, Dr. Galpin translates decades of research into practical strategies anyone can use.

Big questions Dr. Galpin helps answer:

• How does muscle mass protect against metabolic decline and early mortality?
• What’s the safest, most effective on-ramp to rebuild bone density and explosiveness after 40?
• When is fasted training useful for women, and when is it counterproductive?
• How early can kids start resistance training — and what should it look like?
• Which recovery practices are underrated (free) versus overrated (pricey)?

Dr. Andy Galpin is a tenured full professor and human performance scientist with a PhD in Human Bioenergetics and an MS in Human Movement Sciences. He previously ran the Center for Sport Performance and the Biochemistry & Molecular Exercise Physiology Lab at Cal State Fullerton, and now serves as Executive Director of the Human Performance Center at Parker University. He has authored over 50 peer-reviewed publications, coaches elite athletes across the UFC, NBA, MLB, NFL, Olympics, and special forces, and is the host of the Perform with Dr. Andy Galpin podcast, where he shares insights from two decades of working with world-class performers.

Plastic surgery meets metabolic medicine.

Dr. Cameron Chesnut isn't just changing faces - he's changing the entire surgical process. In this episode, Dr. Dominic D'Agostino talks with the facial plastic surgeon who’s using ketones, hyperbaric oxygen, red light, and regenerative protocols to optimize brain health, accelerate recovery, and eliminate opioids entirely.

Trusted by high performers around the world, Dr. Chesnut is known for delivering natural, rejuvenated, and seemingly untouched results through minimally invasive procedures. His practice integrates regenerative medicine, metabolic science, and next-level recovery techniques — all grounded in a personal performance protocol as refined as his surgical outcomes.

In this episode, he and Dr. Dominic D’Agostino unpack the future of surgical care: ketones for cognitive protection, hyperbaric oxygen for faster healing, red light and PEMF for recovery, and the anesthesia protocols he uses to avoid post-op brain fog — and eliminate opioids altogether.

This isn’t cosmetic — it’s clinical strategy. And it could change the face of plastic surgery as we know it.

Did you know that over 7 million Americans live with Alzheimer’s—and that number is expected to nearly double by 2050? Despite decades of research and billions spent, most treatments only offer minimal slowing of symptoms.

But what if we’ve been approaching this disease all wrong?

In this powerful episode of The Metabolic Link, host Victoria Field sits down with renowned neurologist, researcher, and bestselling author Dr. Dale Bredesen. He shares how Alzheimer’s isn’t caused by one thing—and why he says a single-pill solution is a fundamentally flawed approach. Dr. Bredesen discusses his 30+ years of research into cognitive decline, the systems-based ReCODE Protocol that’s showing incredible success in reversing symptoms, and why early detection is everything.

From brain biomarkers to root causes like inflammation, toxins, and metabolic dysfunction, this is a masterclass on how we can take action—long before symptoms take hold.
