Andy shares what he's seeing in his practice, largely a male population focused on getting proactive about their health, and breaks down how treatments like PRP and peptide stacks such as BPC-157 and TB-500 are helping patients recover from injuries, avoid surgery when possible, and bounce back faster when surgery is necessary. He also discusses why so many hormone clinics and med spas fall short by treating symptoms in isolation instead of addressing gut health, inflammation, and diet, and why resistance training, consistency, and nutritional lab work remain the true foundation of longevity.

Whether you're managing an old injury, considering regenerative treatments, curious about peptides, or simply want a clearer picture of what real, sustainable healthy aging looks like, this episode offers practical insight from someone treating these issues every day.

Nutrient deficiencies are often treated with supplements alone, but what if the real problem begins with digestion? In this episode, Tom Malterre, MS, CN, IFMCP joins Amber Warren, PA-C, to explore why poor nutrient absorption has become increasingly common and how gut health, stomach acid, food sensitivities, and mitochondrial function all work together to influence overall health.

Tom explains why many people struggle with chronic fatigue, inflammation, autoimmune conditions, and digestive symptoms despite eating a healthy diet. He also discusses the surprising role of stomach acid in nutrient absorption, how medications like proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) can impact long-term health, and why restoring proper digestive function is essential for healing at the root cause.

Whether you're dealing with digestive issues, unexplained nutrient deficiencies, food sensitivities, or simply want to optimize your health and longevity, this episode provides practical, science-based insights to help you better understand how your body absorbs—and utilizes—the nutrients it needs to thrive.

In this episode, Amber Warren, PA-C, sits down with Dr. Brian Hauser, MD, a board certified functional and integrative family medicine physician specializing in autism spectrum disorder, to explore what a root-cause approach to autism actually looks like. They discuss why autism is not a purely genetic condition, how environmental factors, diet, gut health, and mitochondrial dysfunction play a central role in its development, and what emerging research on folate receptor antibodies, folinic acid, and targeted supplementation is revealing about reversible pathways in autism care. This conversation offers practical, hope-filled strategies for families navigating an autism diagnosis and for anyone looking to understand the biology behind neurodevelopmental health.

Could the "weight-loss shots" everyone is talking about actually be the next big breakthrough in cancer prevention?

In this week’s episode of the FMI podcast, I’m joined once again by our Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Mark Holthouse. While Dr. H is a world-renowned expert in hormone health and cardiometabolic medicine, today we are diving into a topic that is reshaping the future of longevity: the direct link between obesity-related cancers and GLP-1 medications.

We recently learned that colon cancer is now the leading cause of cancer death for men and women under 50. It’s a sobering statistic, but there is hope in the evolving science of metabolic medicine.

Dr. Holthouse also shares his "minimalist" approach to detoxification and why he’s more interested in "reining patients in" from expensive gadgets to focus on what actually moves the needle.

Whether you are interested in the latest longevity science or simply looking for ways to lower your family's risk of chronic disease, this conversation is packed with "root cause" insights you won't want to miss.

In this episode, Amber Warren, PA-C, speaks with dental hygienist Andra Gillespie, RDH, BS, to explore the connection between oral health and whole-body wellness. They discuss how issues like gum disease, hidden infections, and an imbalanced oral microbiome can contribute to inflammation and impact overall health, as well as the role of airway health, sleep, and daily habits. This conversation offers practical, root-cause strategies to help support better oral and systemic health.

Leaders often underestimate how much their health drives performance.
