The anti-aging/longevity industry changes fast so I brought on Ryan Smith, a biological aging expert, for a second round. In this one, we discuss some of the most promising emerging trends.

Ryan Smith attended Transylvania University and graduated with a degree in Biochemistry. After finishing all the educational curriculum and passing USMLE Step 1 he decided to leave and open up a pharmacy in the United States that focused on peptide synthesis and formulations for pharmaceutical preparations.

That pharmacy, Tailor Made Compounding, became the 4th fastest growing company in healthcare in the US. During that time Ryan invested in several businesses in functional medicine space. Ryan exited Tailor Made in late 2020.

Since then, Ryan has opened many businesses including TruDiagnostic, a company focusing on methylation array-based diagnostics for life extension and preventive healthcare.

TruDiagnostic is a CLIA certified lab and health data company focused on serving integrative and functional medicine providers in the United States.

I called myself a "biohacker" for over a decade.

Over the last few years, I started feeling uneasy about the term and where the industry is going. From my studies of effective ancient cultures and modern medical systems yielding the greatest results, I coined a new movement I call "bioharmony".

Clean eating can take time, money, and bore your tastebuds.

Luckily, there's a better way. In this chat with Asher Cowan, we discuss the art of food preparation; easy swaps to make junk food healthy and tasty; the discrepancy between science showing the health benefits of seed oil and the actual results; and some ancestral food tips.

Asher grew up in New Hampshire and played a lot of sports in his youth.He played basketball at Clark University where he studied Economics and Entrepreneurship.

After college, he worked as a consultant and financial analyst but quickly became disillusioned with living the "corporate" life. He decided to combine two passions of his, health food and entrepreneurship, and co-found Dr. Cowan's Garden.

They started by launching a line of vegetable powders, before expanding into kitchen staples, like grains and legumes, sprouted nuts and nut butters, sprouted granolas, cold-pressed seed oils, packaged meat, and ghee.
