From AmFest, Sean sits down with Alan Hidalgo (a longtime friend) for a raw, fast-moving conversation about the state of American politics heading into 2028. They talk about why the conservative movement feels more divided than ever, how internet media incentives reward the loudest voices, and why internal civil wars can cost elections.

Alan shares his take on the “post-Charlie” vacuum, the rise of personality-driven politics, the tension between free speech and platform responsibility, and why he believes Republicans could “fumble the bag” if they can’t unify. They also get into how online outrage cycles shape real-world voting behavior—and what needs to change before the next election.

At A4M, we sit down with Tony Orlando from Dexa Plus to break down why DEXA scans are becoming one of the most important tools in modern health, weight loss, and longevity. Bone density loss is no longer just a problem for seniors—we’re now seeing serious issues in people in their 30s and 40s, including men who appear lean and healthy on the outside.

Tony explains how DEXA scans reveal what scales and mirrors can’t: visceral fat, muscle loss, and early bone density decline, and why relying on BMI or at-home body fat devices alone can be misleading. We also discuss how often you should scan, how hydration skews results, and why DEXA should be the gold standard for tracking real progress—especially if you’re using peptides, hormones, or structured training programs.

If your goal is long-term performance, disease prevention, and true body awareness, this conversation is a must-watch.

What You’ll Learn 👇

🦴 Why bone density loss is showing up decades earlier than expected

🔥 How visceral fat increases heart disease and diabetes risk—even in lean people

📊 Why the scale and BMI fail as health metrics

⏱️ How often you should get a DEXA scan (and why 90 days matters)

💪 How DEXA helps dial in training, nutrition, hormones, and peptides

⚖️ DEXA vs InBody and bio-impedance: what’s accurate and what’s not

📱 How to track your results and trends properly over time

Short Chapters

0:00 — Bone density problems are showing up earlier than you think

0:27 — Meet Tony Orlando of Dexa Plus at A4M

0:38 — What a DEXA scan actually measures (bone, muscle, fat)

0:56 — Why DEXA should be done every 90 days

1:18 — Visceral fat: the hidden risk you can’t see or feel

1:51 — How fast and easy a DEXA scan really is

2:18 — Why insurance waits too long to test bone density

4:00 — Why petite and lean people are at higher risk than they think

5:12 — DEXA vs bio-impedance devices (InBody, smart scales)

7:34 — How to use DEXA data to live longer and train smarter

We’re at AmFest with April Silverman, a conservative voice from Los Angeles, for a raw, on-the-ground conversation about what she says is really driving California’s breakdown: homelessness, public safety, and political leadership that (in her view) isn’t being held accountable.

April shares firsthand stories—from daily “trash fires” alerts to dealing with break-ins, strained police resources, and why many residents feel forced to “handle it themselves.” We also talk about corruption concerns around homelessness funding, how national politics and media drama are shaping the right, and what she believes needs to happen before 2028.

Watch to the end for April’s take on what’s next for California—and why she thinks the rest of the country should pay attention.

In this episode, Sean sits down with Nate Smith at AmericaFest for a real conversation about mental health, staying grounded, and what it takes to keep building when life gets hard.

Nate opens up about going from a hospital job to chasing music again with almost nothing in his account — and how one song, one moment, and one decision shifted everything. They also talk about the pressure of having a public platform, learning to speak honestly, and why therapy, self-awareness, and day-by-day growth matter more than pretending you’re “fine.”

In this episode, Sean sits down with Elizabeth April to talk about anxiety, overstimulation, and why so many people feel mentally “on edge” right now. They explore practical ways to de-stimulate your life, how mindset and focus shape your day-to-day experience, and why grounding yourself in real-world habits matters more than ever.

Elizabeth also shares how she approaches “future-looking” insights through remote viewing—framed as personal perspective, not certainty—and why she believes timelines, perception, and personal responsibility are central to navigating a noisy world. The conversation expands into AI, attention, and the growing challenge of knowing what’s real online—plus how to stay calm, clear, and intentional in the middle of it.

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or mentally scattered, this episode is a reminder: you don’t need to control everything—you just need a better system for what you focus on.

In this raw, honest conversation, we sit down with Thomas Wilkinson from NeuroNova to unpack the hidden dangers of benzodiazepines, Adderall, and dopamine-depleting addiction cycles—and explore a radically different approach to mental health. After personal experiences with Xanax withdrawal, seizures, and years of anxiety, the conversation shifts to a non-invasive technology originally developed to help people recover from addiction without replacing one dependency with another.

Thomas explains how a specific spinal vibration frequency discovered through neuroscience research showed dramatic results in human trials, including major reductions in anxiety, improved sleep, and support during opiate withdrawal—all without drugs. The discussion expands into dopamine addiction, social media overstimulation, sleep deprivation, and why so many people feel trapped in a constant state of anxiety. This episode isn’t hype—it’s a deep look at what happens when you address the nervous system directly instead of masking symptoms.

💊 How traditional addiction treatments often create new dependencies

📉 What dopamine depletion really does to focus, sleep, and mental clarity

🪑 How a non-invasive chair was developed as an alternative to methadone

At A4M Longevity Fest, we sit down with Ulrich Dempfle from Carol Bike to break down the fastest way to improve cardio fitness — without spending hours doing endurance workouts.

If you’ve ever said “I don’t have time for cardio,” this is for you. Carol Bike is built around REHIT (Reduced Exertion High-Intensity Interval Training): a science-backed protocol where you only do two all-out 20-second sprints, 2–3x per week, and still see major improvements in VO2 max, metabolic health, and longevity.

We also compare Carol Bike vs Peloton, explain why intensity matters, how the bike auto-optimizes resistance, and why improving VO2 max may be one of the strongest predictors of long-term health.

What You’ll Learn

🚴‍♂️ Why VO2 max is one of the strongest markers tied to longevity

⏱️ How 2 x 20-second sprints can replace long cardio sessions

🧪 What REHIT is and why studies show rapid results

📉 Why doing more intervals might not mean more benefits

🧠 How Carol reduces “mental load” with automatic resistance + coaching

📊 How to track progress and test VO2 max inside the bike

🏠 Why having it at home makes consistency almost effortless

Chapters
