• Tired Of Confusing Lab Tests? A Guide To Lab Analysis - Joe Cohen

That’s why I invited Joe Cohen, founder of SelfDecode, to show you how easy it can be to organize and interpret your health info with powerful, AI-driven tools. We cover: What lab tests midlife women should prioritize (beyond the basics) Why keeping your files in one place can help uncover patterns and root causes The tests that reveal how well you detox—and how this impacts your hormones How I’ve tracked my own data over 6+ years as a digital nomad Other platforms like Inside Tracker and QuestHealth—what you should know Joe Cohen is not a doctor—but he’s a trusted names in genetics-based health optimization. As founder and CEO of SelfDecode, Joe helps thousands of people worldwide get personalized health recommendations based on DNA, lab results, and lifestyle data. After battling chronic health issues for years with little help from conventional medicine, Joe turned to biohacking, genetics, and self-experimentation. The result?

• Can You Reverse Osteoarthritis? Menopause Impacts on OA - Ali Mobasheri

  Do your knees hurt when you stand up? Are you losing range of motion in your hips? Have you been told you have osteoarthritis—but left without real guidance or solutions? You’re not alone. When I was first diagnosed with hip osteoarthritis, I didn’t even know what it meant. A quick online search gave me generic advice like “lose weight,” which as an athletic person was the last thing I needed to do. Maybe you’re in the same boat—searching for better answers. That’s why I invited Professor Ali Mobasheri to the show. He’s one of the world’s leading experts on osteoarthritis, aging, and joint health—and in this conversation, he breaks down what we really need to know about OA and can we reverse it, especially during midlife and menopause. We cover: What osteoarthritis actually is and how it differs from other types of arthritis and osteoporosis Why osteoarthritis is not just a “wear and tear” condition How widespread osteoarthritis truly is—and why the numbers are underestimated How menopause influences joint health and increases OA risk Why younger adults are increasingly being diagnosed Whether it’s possible to reverse osteoarthritis Which treatments and holistic strategies are most promising Why research around hormone therapy and OA is still lacking Professor Ali Mobasheri is a globally recognized expert in musculoskeletal biology and osteoarthritis research. He is a Professor of Musculoskeletal Biology at the University of Oulu in Finland and a Past President of the Osteoarthritis Research Society International (OARSI). Chief Researcher & International Adviser at the State Research Institute Centre for Innovative Medicine in Lithuania He is an active member of the International Cartilage Regeneration & Joint Preservation Society (ICRS). His research explores the intersection of inflammation, metabolism, and joint aging, with a focus on early diagnosis and prevention. He also serves as an adviser to the World Health Organization and sits on numerous scientific advisory boards, including those focused on osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, and regenerative medicine. He has published over 400 scientific papers and holds an h-index of 78—an extraordinary achievement in academic research.
