  • Not-So Sci-Fi Science, Quantum Entanglement, and Consciousness With Sharane Dorrah

    Send us Fan Mail

    On Decoding Health, host and guest Sharane Dorrah dive into the intersection of Quantum Consciousness, Remote Viewing, and the science-meets-mysticism of altered states—exploring how memory, identity shifts, and the Pineal Gland factor into radical personal transformation. Sharane traces her breakthrough to letting go of an old identity and walks listeners through topics from Plant Medicine and LSD research to references of nonlocal mind studies and experiments at institutions like CERN, arguing that mainstream science hasn’t yet caught up with lived, experiential evidence. The conversation covers practical cautions—legality and mental safety—while unpacking big ideas like Dark Matter, consciousness as a quantum phenomenon, and how altering perception can both illuminate and destabilize; this episode is essential listening for anyone curious about consciousness research, remote perception, and the responsible exploration of altered states.

    Sharane Dorrah is the creator of ELEV8, a science-based framework designed to help people embody the fullest, most authentic expression of who they are. At its core, ELEV8 blends neuroscience, biology, and quantum principles to rewire beliefs, align physiology, and unlock higher potential—so that real transformation in health, and in life, flows from wholeness and alignment.

  • The Bizarre Health Trend of Drinking Pee

    Send us Fan Mail

    In this episode of the Decoding Health Podcast, Dr. Urban unpacks the myths and realities behind urine therapy—an unusual health claim that suggests drinking or applying urine can heal the body. While some tout it as a natural remedy, Dr. Urban breaks down the actual science: urine is a sterile waste product in healthy individuals, containing salts, proteins, and antimicrobial peptides like defensins that may help clean wounds but offer no evidence-based benefits when consumed or fermented. Listeners will gain clarity on why “urine therapy” is more hype than health, the real biological role of urine, and when (if ever) it might have practical use.

  • Roid Rage: Fact or Fiction?

    Send us Fan Mail

    In this episode of Decoding Health, Dr. Urban dives into the controversial world of anabolic steroids, specifically trenbolone (tren), and why it stands apart from other performance enhancers. While Dr. Urban encourages a libertarian, biohacking mindset that empowers individuals to experiment with tools like TRT, peptides, and supplements, he draws a hard line at trend, warning of its extreme dangers as a potent progesterone receptor activator linked to severe mood instability and mental health risks. Unlike testosterone replacement therapy, which can be safely managed under medical supervision, trend is a black-market steroid banned in professional sports, offering no real benefits compared to safer alternatives. Listeners will learn why Dr. Urban considers trend a “no-go” for both men and women, and how true progress in health, fitness, and longevity can be achieved without resorting to dangerous shortcuts.

  • Peptides, Longevity & the Future of Medicine with Dr. Micah Olson

    Send us Fan Mail

    In this episode of Decoding Health, Dr. Micah Olson joins Dr. Urban to break down the complex world of peptides, longevity, and modern medicine. The discussion highlights the difference between “healthcare” and “sick care,” the importance of distinguishing use versus abuse of treatments, and why not all fat is created equal. Dr. Olson simplifies peptides as small chains of amino acids, contrasting them with proteins, and explains how therapies like BPC-157, originally discovered in dog gastric juice, have gained traction in regenerative health. The conversation also touches on the pitfalls of buzzwords like “anti-aging,” the role of the FDA in ensuring safety, and the importance of reading labels carefully—especially with peptides marketed as Research Use Only. With insights on certifications, DEXA scan evaluations, and the future of peptide therapy, this episode gives listeners both clarity and caution in navigating cutting-edge health innovations.

    A third generation Phoenician, Dr. Olson received his medical degree from the University of Arizona College of Medicine. He originally specialized in pediatric endocrinology, completing his residency at Phoenix Children’s and his fellowship at the University of Texas Southwestern in Dallas. Dr. Olson directed the Obesity Program at Phoenix Children’s for 12 years and developed a reputation as a national expert in the management of pediatric obesity and endocrine disorders. He is board-certified in Obesity Medicine, and is regularly featured in Phoenix Magazine’s annual list of “Top Docs.” He has received multiple NIH-funded research grants, has co-authored over 25 peer-reviewed publications, and continues his research work as an Adjunct Professor in the Center for Health Promotion and Disease Prevention at Arizona State University.

  • Viagra for Women: The Quest for Female Arousal

    Send us Fan Mail

    In this episode of Decoding Health, we tackle the question: Is there Viagra for women? The conversation introduces PT-141, a peptide that has shown promising results in enhancing female sexual desire and arousal. The discussion explains how PT-141 works differently from traditional solutions by acting on the brain’s melanocortin receptors rather than focusing solely on blood flow, offering new hope for women struggling with low libido or sexual dysfunction. Listeners gain insight into the science behind PT-141, its potential effects, and how it may transform conversations around women’s sexual health and wellness.

  • Nicotine Patches vs. Pouches: Which Packs a Bigger Punch?

    Send us Fan Mail

    This episode takes a deep dive into the science, benefits, and risks of nicotine use through patches, pouches, and other delivery methods. We share personal experiences, experimenting with different doses and discuss why reactions can vary—from dizziness and nausea to sharper focus and improved clarity. Dr. Urban explains how nicotine’s mechanism differs from caffeine, highlighting its potential role in combating brain fog, jet lag, and even viral replication through nicotinic acetylcholine receptors. The conversation covers addiction risks, responsible use, and misconceptions around smoking versus alternatives like patches and pouches. Ultimately, nicotine is presented as a powerful tool when used sparingly and strategically, but one that demands responsibility and awareness—especially for younger users who may be misusing it as a trend.

  • Addressing Metabolic Failure In The United States

    Send us Fan Mail

    In this eye-opening episode of Decoding Health, Dr. Urban A. Kiernan breaks down a startling statistic from a 2022 Journal of the American College of Cardiology meta-analysis revealing that only 6.8% of Americans are metabolically healthy. Using five key health metrics—waist circumference, BMI, blood pressure, blood glucose, blood lipids, and cardiovascular event history—Dr. Kiernan explains how widespread metabolic failure is driven not only by lifestyle factors but also by reliance on medications that mask underlying issues. The conversation challenges the conventional cholesterol narrative, highlights the hidden risks behind “normal” lab results, and underscores the importance of addressing insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome before chronic diseases take hold.
