Episode Description:About 75% of how you age comes down to what you do daily, not your genes. And one of the simplest places to start is something your body already makes: glutathione, the master antioxidant that sits at the center of how your cells protect and clean themselves. Your body makes less of it as you get older.

So Dr. G went looking for the best version to actually take, and found that most products with that word on the label are getting it wrong. This episode covers why glutathione is so fragile that most of a regular capsule breaks down before your body can use it, why almost no brand will hand you a lab report when you ask, the two things to look for on a label, and the certificate of analysis he read line by line, including the heavy metal results.

You don’t pick your genes. You do get a say in the other 75%.

Episode Description:There are 19,000 studies on coffee and health, and most coffee companies don't even run the basic tests. Andrew Salisbury founded Purity Coffee after two professors at Vanderbilt's Institute for Coffee Studies showed him what good coffee actually does for the body. This conversation covers why the mold testing almost nobody runs costs $300, how roasting can destroy the very antioxidants you're drinking coffee for, and why the jitters and acid reflux you blame on coffee may not be the coffee's fault at all.

Andrew's health takes — in order:

Take 1: "The reality is they don't want to get the information"
Testing a container for mold and mycotoxins costs about $300, so when companies skip it, it isn't about the money.

Take 2: "Imagine if there was a pill that could do this"
Coffee is tied to lower risk of fatty liver, type 2 diabetes, dementia and heart disease, and for most Americans it's their single biggest source of antioxidants.

Take 3: "Not all coffee is created equal"
Avoiding pesticides and heavy metals is the low bar. Keeping the antioxidants through the roast is the hard part, and most roasters never measure it.

Take 4: "It's not a reaction to coffee, it's a reaction to poor quality coffee"
The jitters, the acid reflux, the stomach trouble. Andrew's challenge is to drink a clean cup beside your usual brand and see what changes.

Ice baths may be good for you. Coffee is the one you'll actually do every single day.

Episode Description:

If your hair is thinning, you've been given two options: one drug you rub on forever, and one many men quietly quit over what it did in the bedroom. But "not FDA approved" usually means nobody could patent it, not that it doesn't work. Dr. G walks through seven treatments with real evidence behind them, including one that went head to head with minoxidil and tied, with less scalp itching.

He covers the plant extract that works on the same hormone as the drug, the red light that feeds the follicle, the blood marker your doctor probably skipped, the vitamin that flips a resting follicle back on, the mineral that builds the hair itself, the oil that matched minoxidil over six months, and the stress root nobody connects to their hairline.

Most people need two or three of these together, because each one does a different job.

Your hair isn't falling because your body is broken. It's falling because your body is trying to tell you something.

Episode Description:

If you're tired, foggy and inflamed, there may be a root cause your doctor is missing. Dr. Clement Lee is a regenerative medicine doctor in Old Town Pasadena who treats everyone from biohackers to cancer patients. This conversation covers what Botox does beyond your face, why peptide doses are often far too high, the stealth infections behind chronic fatigue, and the injection that resets a nervous system stuck in fight or flight.

Dr. Lee's health takes — in order:

Take 1: "Botox doesn't just freeze your face, it can freeze your feelings"

When you can't express an emotion, the feedback loop to your brain goes quiet too, and the neurotoxin carries risks beyond the cosmetic.

Take 2: "Peptides don't fix a broken lifestyle, they amplify a good one"

Standard GLP-1 doses are often far higher than needed, and sleep, food and gut health come first.

Take 3: "There's a root cause your doctor might be missing"

Mold, Lyme, H. pylori and dormant viruses hide behind fatigue and brain fog, and partners often pass them back and forth.

Take 4: "Hidden infections, toxins and trapped emotions are the main causes of disruption"

Repressed emotion is inflammatory, and neural therapy resets a nervous system that never came down from stress.

Energy is neither created nor destroyed. If it's stuck in your system, it's going somewhere.

The exact CoQ10 I recommend, 15% off with code DRG15:
https://theswellscore.com/fbkqvztnvu

Episode Description:
You take the pill every day to protect your heart, but your muscles ache, your legs feel heavy, and you're tired in a way sleep doesn't fix. It might not be age. Your statin may be draining the one nutrient your heart and muscles need to make energy, and almost no one tells you to replace it. Dr. G covers what to replace and how, the natural options with real human evidence for lowering cholesterol, the cholesterol myth that had you fearing the wrong foods, and the one number to ask your doctor about.

Dr. G breaks it down, in order:

Take 1: "Your statin may be quietly draining you"The same pathway statins shut down also makes CoQ10, so it's worth replacing, in the right form, with a meal that has fat.

Take 2: "I really wish every doctor was talking about citrus bergamot"
A standardized extract gently lowered total and LDL cholesterol in human trials.

Take 3: "The single most proven natural lever for LDL"
Plant sterols block cholesterol from being absorbed in your gut and lower LDL by roughly 8 to 10%.

Take 4: "You don't need to take a pill"
Psyllium husk and oats trap cholesterol so your body carries it out.

Take 5: "You don't want to cut out the eggs"
Refined carbs, sugar, belly fat and chronic stress drive cholesterol far more than the food on your breakfast plate.

Your cholesterol number isn't the enemy. The particles underneath it are.
