Everything is Personal

Can fasting support longevity without compromising the muscle we need to age well? And how do we separate meaningful nutrition science from the promises of the next wellness trend?

On this episode of Everything Is Personal, Len May sits down with Renee Fitton, Longevity Dietitian and Director of Education at L-Nutra, the company behind ProLon and L-Nutra Health, for a conversation about fasting, nutrition, and the pursuit of a longer, healthier life.

Renee brings a personal perspective to that pursuit. Once determined to become a doctor, her experiences in traditional medicine and international volunteering led her to rethink where she could make the greatest difference. That search took her into graduate studies in longevity nutrition—and a career helping people understand how everyday choices fit into the bigger picture of aging well.

Together, Len and Renee explore fasting-mimicking protocols, the questions surrounding fasting and muscle preservation, and why healthspan deserves as much attention as lifespan. Throughout the conversation, they examine the challenge of translating complex science into practical decisions about how we eat and care for ourselves.

With experience guiding thousands of people through fasting-mimicking programs and leading education for a network of nearly 20,000 healthcare practitioners, Renee offers a perspective shaped by both nutrition science and the people trying to put it into practice.

What happens when a physician realizes that the medical system he was trained in doesn’t always have the answers—especially when the patient is someone he loves?

In this episode of *Everything Is Personal*, Len May sits down with **Dr. Aaron Hartman**, physician, clinical researcher, and founder of Richmond Integrative & Functional Medicine, for a wide-ranging conversation about functional medicine, chronic illness, personalized care, clinical research, and the experiences that reshaped the way he practices medicine.

Dr. Hartman’s path became deeply personal when his daughter faced complex health challenges that pushed him to look beyond conventional approaches and explore the connections between genetics, nutrition, inflammation, environment, lifestyle, and individual biology.

That experience changed the way he viewed medicine.

Aaron and Len discuss why two patients with the same diagnosis can respond very differently to the same treatment, what decades of clinical research have taught him about the limits of standardized care, and why understanding the whole patient can reveal answers that isolated symptoms often cannot.

They also explore the growing role of precision medicine, the relationship between gut health, metabolism, inflammation, and brain function, and how nutrition, sleep, stress, movement, and environmental exposures can influence long-term health.

The conversation also gets into the tension between conventional medicine and functional medicine, where each approach can be valuable, and why the future of healthcare may depend less on choosing one side and more on combining the best available science with a deeper understanding of the individual.

At its core, this episode asks a simple but important question:

**Are we treating a diagnosis, or are we treating a person?**

What happens when the business you spent years building becomes deeply tied to your identity, your purpose and your vision — and then it doesn’t go the way you planned?

In this episode of **Everything Is Personal**, Len May sits down with entrepreneur **Michael Steinmetz** for a candid conversation about entrepreneurship, cannabis, resilience, reinvention and the emotional reality of starting over.

Michael shares his journey from engineering into the cannabis industry, the creation and rapid growth of **Flow Kana**, and what it was like building an ambitious company in one of the most unpredictable and rapidly changing industries in America.

But this conversation goes far beyond business.

Michael and Len explore what happens when a founder’s mission becomes personal, how success and failure can reshape identity, and why losing something you believed in can force you to ask a much bigger question: **Who are you when the thing you built is no longer the thing defining you?**

They also discuss the importance of adaptability, the lessons that only setbacks can teach, and why entrepreneurship often requires the ability to let go of the original plan in order to discover what comes next.

This is a conversation about building, losing, learning and beginning again — and why sometimes the end of one vision is the beginning of a more meaningful chapter.
