Episode Description:

That recovery that now takes days instead of hours. The strength slipping. The words you stumble on. The energy that used to feel automatic. That is not just your age. That is your biological clock running faster than it needs to. And the anti-aging shelf is not going to fix it.

Resveratrol looked great in a petri dish. So did a hundred other supplements. Most of them were never tested on human aging clocks. We can now measure biological aging directly through DNA methylation. Only a handful of supplements have actually moved those clocks in real human trials. Dr. G breaks down the four that have, the label tricks that waste your money, and the one thing at the end that no supplement company will ever sell you.

Dr. G breaks it down — in order:

Take 1: "If a supplement has never slowed down aging in a living human, you are buying a headline" Dr. G calls out the resveratrol hype and explains why petri dish and mouse study results have been sold to consumers for years without ever being tested on human aging clocks. Find out what DNA methylation testing actually measures and why it changes everything.

Take 2: "Omega-3s are the one supplement on earth shown to slow biological aging in real human trials" In a three year randomized controlled trial in older adults, one gram a day measurably slowed several DNA methylation aging clocks. Dr. G gives the exact form, the exact dose, and the label trick that turns a promising fish oil into an expensive bottle of oxidized oil.

Take 3: "Urolithin A clears out the dead power plants inside your cells" As you age the cleanup crew that removes broken mitochondria slows down and garbage accumulates. Dr. G explains the mitophagy process, why most people cannot produce urolithin A from food alone, and what the randomized controlled trial showed about muscle strength and endurance after four months.

Take 4: "GlyNAC reversed multiple hallmarks of aging at once and it is cheap" The Baylor University trial showed improvements in glutathione, mitochondrial function, insulin resistance, walking speed, strength, and cognition in 16 weeks. Dr. G explains how glycine and NAC work together to rebuild your body's master antioxidant and why this one belongs in almost everyone's stack.

Take 5: "Spermadine switches on the process that keeps your brain recycling itself" Found in wheat germ, aged cheese, and mushrooms, spermadine activates autophagy — the cellular trash removal process that dims as we age. Dr. G walks through the memory trial data and explains why the dose on the label matters more than the ingredient name.

Nothing ages you faster than a stressful life. No supplement is going to touch that.

Episode Description:

There is a racket going on between big food and big pharma and almost nobody is naming it directly. Seventy percent of Americans are overweight or obese because of what the food industry has done to our food supply. And the solution the medical industry is now selling is a drug that suppresses the appetite for the food that is still being made and sold and eaten. The wound is being bandaged. The source of the wound is untouched.

Dr. Josh Levitt is a naturopathic physician with 25 years of clinical experience, the co-founder of UpWellness, and one of the most grounded integrative voices in medicine. This conversation covers the big food and big pharma racket, the Nova food classification system, what real food actually looks like, the emotional roots of physical disease, and why dogma on both sides of medicine is killing people.

Dr. Josh Levitt's health takes — in order:

Take 1: "There is a racket going on between big food and big pharma" Dr. Levitt lays out the cognitive dissonance at the heart of modern medicine. The drugs that suppress appetite are genuinely effective, and they are also a band-aid placed over a wound created by the same economic system that has no incentive to heal it.

Take 2: "Balance is a fallacy" Health is not a static destination. Dr. Levitt uses his background as a surfer to explain why people who are good at balance are actually good at the active management of imbalance, and why that reframe changes everything about how you approach the ups and downs of your own health.

Take 3: "I have seen people die on the hill of dogma" This is the take most people on both sides of medicine do not want to hear. Dr. Levitt makes the case that extreme conviction in either direction, whether it is that all natural medicine is quackery or that all conventional medicine is poison, has genuinely cost people their lives.

Take 4: "I wish people didn't need the supplements I make" Dr. Levitt closes with the most honest take of the episode. He explains why supplements are a tool that help people earn back a sliver of faith in their body's ability to heal, and why the real goal is a world where most of what he sells becomes unnecessary.

We have all the technology. We should be crushing it. We are not.

Episode Description:

The bloating after every meal. The gas. The afternoon energy crash. The brain fog. The belly fat that will not move. Almost all of it runs through one place. And it is not a willpower problem. It is your gut.

Most people have already spent real money on a probiotic, felt nothing, and concluded that probiotics do not work. The truth is worse. Most of those bacteria are dead before they reach you. The label counts them at manufacturing, not when you swallow them. You may have been paying for a probiotic graveyard for years. Dr. G breaks down four gut supplements with actual human proof behind them, the exact label tricks companies use to take your money, and the one thing that does more for your gut than all four combined.

Dr. G breaks it down — in order:

Take 1: "A dead probiotic is just an expensive way to feed your toilet" Dr. G exposes the 50 billion CFU scam and explains why most probiotics never survive the journey to your intestines. Find out why the strain on the label matters far more than the number and what to look for instead.

Take 2: "Saccharomyces boulardii is the one probiotic that actually arrives alive" It is a yeast, not a bacteria, which means stomach acid and antibiotics cannot touch it. Dr. G breaks down what it does once it gets there, the exact dose used in randomized controlled trials, and the one strain designation that separates the real product from the filler.

Take 3: "A probiotic does nothing if you are not feeding the bacteria you already have" Partially hydrolyzed guar gum is one of the most underrated gut supplements in existence and almost nobody is talking about it. Dr. G explains why it feeds your existing microbiome without triggering the gas and bloating that sensitive guts get from other fibers.

Take 4: "Enteric coated peppermint oil beats placebo across dozens of randomized controlled trials" If your gut hurts, cramps, or spasms, this is the one. Dr. G explains the exact mechanism, why the enteric coating is non-negotiable, and what happens if you take the version without it.

Take 5: "Glutamine is the mortar between the bricks of your gut wall" When the lining goes leaky, food sensitivities, immune reactions, and gut symptoms follow. Dr. G breaks down the randomized controlled trial showing 15 grams a day nearly normalized gut permeability, and why most gut repair blends are burying a useless dose inside an expensive label.

Supplements are tools. Your diet and nervous system are the foundation.

Episode Description:

The longevity industry is booming, the clinics are multiplying, and most of them are doing it wrong. Peptides, NAD IVs, hyperbaric chambers, a la carte menus of expensive therapies chosen by patients who have no framework for choosing. The tools are real. The approach is broken.

Dr. Guy is a regenerative medicine physician and the founder of Citron Wellness and Citron Longevity in Los Angeles. He has spent his career at the intersection of functional medicine, peptide therapy, mitochondrial health, and trauma physiology. This conversation goes from the longevity industry's biggest blind spots to NAD delivery methods to stored trauma as a driver of aging and chronic disease. It is one of the most clinically honest conversations about what longevity medicine should actually look like.

Dr. Guy's health takes — in order:

Take 1: "The whole longevity industry is a waste of money if you're not evaluating what the body is expressing" Dr. Guy calls out the a la carte model dominating high end longevity clinics and explains why jumping between sexy therapies without a whole body assessment is the same mistake conventional medicine has always made, just with a bigger price tag.

Take 2: "NAD works — but not the way most people are taking it" Dr. Guy explains why oral NAD and most precursors do not move the needle the way the industry claims, why IVs create a one time spike rather than sustained levels, and why subcutaneous injections have become his go-to delivery method for real mitochondrial support.

Take 3: "Mitochondrial dysfunction is really a systemic inflammatory picture" NAD is not the only answer and sometimes not even the first one. Dr. Guy breaks down what is actually driving mitochondrial decline and why addressing inflammation at the root changes everything about how you approach the longevity stack.

Take 4: "Emotional drama keeps you locked and can break the body" Trauma is a buzzword right now but almost nobody is talking about the physiology behind it. Dr. Guy explains what happens to cortisol, inflammation, and every aging mechanism in the body when the stress cycle never completes, and why stored trauma may be one of the most underestimated drivers of chronic disease.

Sleep. Eat right. Then we talk about peptides.

Episode Description:

The magnesium sitting in your cabinet right now is probably one your body can barely absorb. Most people buy it for sleep, for anxiety, for leg cramps, or for constipation, feel nothing, and conclude that magnesium does not work. Magnesium works. You just bought the wrong kind, and nobody told you there was a wrong kind.

70% of people are deficient in magnesium. Most of them are taking magnesium oxide, which has about 4% absorption. The other 96% moves through you and loosens your stools. But the bigger problem is that magnesium is not one supplement. It is a family of forms, and the form on the label decides the entire job it does in your body.

Dr. G breaks it down — in order:

Take 1: "You just bought the wrong kind and nobody told you" Dr. G exposes the magnesium oxide scam hiding in plain sight on every drugstore shelf and in most cheap multivitamins. Find out why the form on the label is more important than anything else and how companies hide what is actually inside the bottle.

Take 2: "The form that fixes your sleep is not the same form that fixes your cramps" Magnesium glycinate is the calming form backed by a randomized placebo controlled trial showing measurable sleep improvement. Dr. G gives the exact dose, the exact timing, and the label trick companies use to underdose you while making the number on the front look impressive.

Take 3: "This one actually crosses your blood brain barrier" Magnesium L-threonate was specifically designed to raise magnesium levels inside the brain, where it supports the connections between neurons. Dr. G breaks down the randomized controlled trial data on memory and cognition and explains why cheap versions of this form are almost always a waste of money.

Take 4: "Stress is burning your magnesium faster than you can replace it" The same fight or flight response keeping you wired at night is draining your mineral reserves all day long. Dr. G explains why chronic stress, sugar, alcohol, and heavy caffeine make you dump magnesium through your urine, and why the supplement only works in its full glory when the nervous system is also being addressed.

Glycinate for sleep and anxiety. Malate for muscles and daytime energy. L-threonate for brain fog and memory. Citrate for the gut. Oxide for almost nobody.
