As a lifelong pursuer of optimal wellness, Mike has been searching for better solutions to common problems since his athlete days. After an illustrious career as a pole vaulter launched him into the field of medicine, Mike started questioning the conflict inherent in treating harmful conditions with harmful interventions. He found a distinct lack of medically-backed programs that advocated for a healthier lifestyle, and he became determined to fill that need. Now Board Certified in Anti-Aging and Regenerative Medicine, Mike owns and practices out of the Age Management Institute in Santa Barbara.

It gets science-y real quick when we sit down to talk about the way peptides slow down the aging process. Mike jumps right into the benefits of various peptides—including NAD, epitalon, dihexa, and FGL(l)—for sleep, autoimmune symptoms, menstrual health, and, of course, anti-aging. We trade stories about our experiences with food intolerances, take a close look at the societies known for longevity, and explore the influence of epigenetics on conditions like obesity. 

In the future, RUNGA experiences will incorporate practices that facilitate anti-aging, and I hope this episode gets you as excited for what’s ahead as it got me!

Are you flushing money down the toilet with less than optimal supplements? With most traditional supplements, the amount that survives digestion and general acidity in the gut is very low. That is why Dr. Chris Shade developed the world’s most advanced phospholipid delivery systems. Today, I wanted to tell you about Quicksilver Scientific’s PushCatch LiverDetox. Liver detoxification is essential for proper health, but improperly-designed protocols result in uncomfortable toxin redistribution—not elimination. The PushCatch LiverDetox is an innovative approach to detox, utilizing a two-part cleansing protocol designed to safely eliminate toxins without reabsorption in the body, and it really works!

Never before in our history have we been exposed to so much electromagnetic radiation. Whether you’re a frequent traveler like me and worried about the radiation in the airplane or airport, or you’re sitting at a desk all day exposed to WiFi and sitting close to your phone… all of this stuff is adding up, https://getlambs.com/and the research on the impact this is having on our health is piling up too! This is why my friends over at Lambs have created protective clothing (including the only underwear I wear) to block almost 100% of this harmful radiation.
