Dr. Erin Faules and longevity expert Nathalie Niddam discuss how peptides and bioregulators can help the body maintain equilibrium at the cellular level. They unpack how these small protein molecules influence signaling and gene expression, the difference between supporting adaptation versus overstimulation, and how thoughtful use of these tools fits into a holistic approach to health and aging.

Dr. Jeff Graham sits down with Dr. Damon Forbes to explore the emerging concept of “lean mass hyper-responders”— fit, low-carb individuals who present with unusually high LDL levels. They unpack the physiology behind this pattern, discuss how it differs from familial hypercholesterolemia, and review new data on cardiovascular risk. The conversation offers a nuanced look at how metabolism, diet, and lipid transport intersect in precision medicine.

In this episode, Dr. Erin Faules speaks with Joel Greene, author of The Immunity Code, about the importance of balance and adaptability in human health. They discuss how real-world factors—time, context, and individual biology—shape sustainable nutrition and fitness strategies. From cycling foods and supplements to aligning with circadian and weekly rhythms, Greene explains how physiological balance supports metabolic health, microbiome diversity, and longevity.

Dr. Tommy Wood, physician-scientist and professor of pediatrics and neuroscience at the University of Washington, shares how the brain develops, adapts, and recovers from injury across the lifespan. He explains how genetics, exercise, nutrition, sleep, and other daily habits shape cognitive performance and resilience. Drawing on research and clinical insights, Dr. Wood highlights practical, evidence-based strategies to support brain health at every stage of life.

This episode features health coach and nurse Michele Miller in conversation with Dr. Erin. They discuss why eating less isn’t always the path to better health, how metabolism adapts to prolonged calorie restriction, and the concept of “reverse dieting”—gradually increasing food intake to support energy, hormone balance, and body composition. The conversation emphasizes practical strategies, like eating breakfast and fueling around exercise, while addressing common fears about eating more.

In this conversation, Dr. Erin Faules and Dr. Jeff Graham discuss the shift from traditional medical care toward a precision medicine model that integrates genomics, biomarkers, and lifestyle interventions. They share patient stories that illustrate how personalized care can uncover hidden risks, such as cardiovascular disease, while also supporting sustainable behavior change. The discussion emphasizes prevention, accountability, and evidence-based strategies for improving healthspan.
