You slept eight hours but still woke up tired, foggy, and reaching for coffee. The problem might be the air you're breathing. Michael Feldstein explains why indoor air quality matters, the everyday habits that make it worse, and simple ways to create a healthier bedroom.

Indoor air can be significantly more polluted than outdoor air, and your bedroom may be the most important place to address it. Michael Feldstein shares what he learned from years of mold remediation and disaster cleanup, why common air purifiers may fall short, and how small changes can improve the air you breathe every night.

In this episode, I sit down with Michael Feldstein, founder of Jaspr, to explore how indoor air quality affects sleep and recovery. We discuss common sources of indoor pollution, from mold and cooking fumes to synthetic fragrances, and everyday habits that allow pollutants to build up.

Michael also explains what to look for in an effective air purifier, how to improve ventilation, and practical ways to create cleaner indoor spaces, including your bedroom and nursery.

If you're doing everything right but still waking up feeling exhausted, it may be time to take a closer look at your indoor air.

Pancreatic cancer can develop for years before diagnosis, but subtle warning signs may appear earlier. Ben explores 12 symptoms people often mistake for stress or aging, and when to speak with a doctor.

Pancreatic cancer is often diagnosed late because its early symptoms can be easy to overlook. From digestive changes and unexplained fatigue to new-onset diabetes, your body may show signs that deserve attention. Today, I'm breaking down 12 warning signs and why recognizing them matters.

In this solo episode, I explore 12 potential warning signs of pancreatic cancer, including early digestive changes, unexplained weight loss, new-onset diabetes after 50, back pain, changes in stool, jaundice, and blood clots.

I'll explain why these symptoms can be easy to miss, what to watch for, and when to seek medical advice. Many can have other causes, but noticing persistent or multiple symptoms is a reason to talk to your doctor.

Starving by 10 a.m. and in the fridge at 11 p.m.? It’s not willpower. Ben shares the five foods he cut out to lose 19 pounds in 30 days, and why his cravings stopped first.

Back in 2007, I thought I had a willpower problem. I was hungry all the time, starving by 10 a.m. and raiding the fridge at night. Then I cut five specific foods out completely, and within 30 days I lost 19 pounds. Here’s what nobody told me: the cravings stopped first. In this episode, I walk you through those five foods, the research behind them, and what to expect when you cut them out.

If you feel like you’re at war with your body around food, this one’s for you.

In this solo episode, I share the five foods I removed in 2007 that helped me lose 19 pounds in 30 days and end my cravings. You don’t have a weight problem. You have a weight symptom, driven by hormones and inflammation. We don’t lose weight to get healthy. We get healthy to lose weight.

I cover Kevin Hall’s NIH study on ultra-processed food, then break down the five foods: liquid sugar, ultra-processed breads, boxed comfort foods, seed oil dressings and condiments, and alcohol. Plus the protein target I give all my students to quiet hunger hormones.

This was never a character flaw. It was a biological response.

You sleep 8 hours and still wake up tired, and everyone tells you it's just age. Baran Dilaver explains what may actually be happening inside your cells: the molecule your mitochondria depend on, the enzyme that eats it faster every year, and why the expensive IV drip might not be the best way to get it back.

If you had zero NAD in your body, you'd be dead in 10 seconds.

That's how fundamental this molecule is. It's involved in over 500 enzymatic processes, and about 70% of it goes toward producing energy. But as we get older, our NAD levels drop, and an enzyme called CD38 ramps up and starts shredding what's left.

So most people over 40 are fighting on two fronts. They're making less energy, and they're losing it faster.

That's why I wanted to sit down with Baran Dilaver, co-founder and CEO of Wonderfeel. We get into what's really draining your cellular battery, whether NAD IVs live up to the hype, and why creatine might be the missing partner to NAD that most people overlook.

That afternoon crash around 2 or 3 PM? It's common, but it isn't normal.

In this episode, I sit down with Baran Dilaver, co-founder and CEO of Wonderfeel, to talk about NAD, creatine, mitochondrial health, and what may be draining your energy as you age. NAD powers hundreds of processes in your cells, and when levels drop, it may not just show up as fatigue. It can show up as brain fog, mental fatigue, and organs that just don't work the way they used to.

Baran explains NAD with an analogy I won't forget: a river feeding a valley full of farms and villages. When the river runs low, every valley suffers differently. That's why two people with the same root cause can have completely different symptoms.

We also get into CD38, the enzyme Dr. Andrew Salzman calls the "NAD shredder," and why focusing only on boosting NAD while ignoring what drains it may leave you missing half the equation.

Then we tackle a question I get all the time: are NAD IVs worth it? Baran breaks down why NAD struggles to get inside your cells, what the research shows about oral precursors like NMN, and why he still keeps an open mind about IVs. He also shares a warning about NMN product quality you'll want to hear before you buy anything online.

Plus: why NAD makes the energy but creatine delivers it, the nutrient your body can't make that collects where tissue is damaged, the longevity breakthroughs Baran sees coming in the next 5 to 10 years, and why loneliness may matter as much as any supplement.

If you're dealing with low energy, brain fog, or just want to age slower, this one's for you.

Baran Dilaver is the co-founder and CEO of Wonderfeel, a longevity-focused wellness biosciences company known for its Youngr™ NMN supplement and ChocoCreatin™ bars.

A UC Berkeley graduate and former scholarship athlete there, Baran led companies as CEO before going all in on NAD research. Since meeting Dr. Andrew Salzman in 2017, he has worked closely with him to develop Wonderfeel's formulas, with a focus on cellular energy, mitochondrial health, and slowing down aging.

Your grandmother ate butter, eggs, bacon, and whole milk, never counted a calorie, and probably never said the word “diet.” In this episode, I break down what changed between her kitchen and yours, why it was never about willpower, and the simple things worth bringing back from 1955.

In 1960, about 13% of American adults were obese. Today, projections put that number close to 50%.

Our genetics didn’t change in two generations. Our discipline didn’t collapse. So what happened?

In this episode, I walk through the story of a woman who kept a kitchen ledger for 51 years, and what her grocery lists reveal about snacking, breakfast, the war on fat, and the oils that quietly took over the American food supply. Once you see it, you can’t unsee it.

Losing weight today feels harder than ever, even though we have more nutrition information than any generation in history.

In this solo episode, I compare the 1950s kitchen with the modern one and show why the problem was never a lack of willpower. It was the environment.

You’ll learn:

What a 51-year kitchen ledger reveals about how an ordinary American woman actually ate

Why snacking may keep your insulin from ever coming back down, even when the snacks are “healthy”

How the modern breakfast may set you up to be starving by 10 a.m.

How butter and lard got replaced by margarine, Crisco, and “heart healthy” spreads

What happened when fat was removed from food and replaced with sugar

The more than 1,000-fold rise in soybean oil consumption in the 20th century

The one food I’d bring back into your kitchen first, and how to tell if yours is high quality

How liquid calories, ultra-processed food, lost daily movement, and random meal timing all add up

If you’ve been blaming yourself for struggling with your weight, this episode may change how you see the whole problem.
