Blood work and wearables are reactive and only sometimes show emergency trends.

How do you know whether "healthy" lifestyle practices work for you?

What if they're actually not compatible with your particular biochemistry, and worsening your health?

What if you had a test that could quantify the impact of your supplements, drugs, fitness, sleep, or habits on any outcome?

Say disease risk, IQ, healthspan, or athletic performance?

Well, it exists.

And this week we're diving deep into the science, applications, and buyer's guide to biological age testing.

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 the 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. TruDiagnostic has a commitment to research with over 30 approved clinical research studies investigating the epigenetic methylation changes of a variety of longevity and health interventions.

Since Tru Diagnostic's inception, they have created one of the largest private epigenetic health databases in the world with over 13,000 patients tested and continue to lead the space in epigenetic methylation interpretation and diagnostic prediction.

Spermidine may be the hottest anti-aging compound of the last decade, but is it possible that ancient Japanese longevity scrolls alluded to it over a century ago? What other wisdom did these scrolls contain? Thanks to our guest this week, these nearly-forgotten secrets live on.

Oxford Healthspan was founded by Leslie Kenny, a Southern California entrepreneur and graduate of both Berkeley and Harvard, whose life was turned upside down when she was diagnosed with lupus and rheumatoid arthritis in her 30s. When her doctors told her lupus had a life expectancy of five years and that RA could only be managed, not cured, she set out to optimize her health as best she could with safe, natural solutions.

She went back to school at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition in NYC, became a Bulletproof coach under health pioneer Dave Asprey, and took on health coaching clients worldwide. At the same time, she began helping life science academics at European universities, including Oxford, to raise money for their discoveries. She met a scientist who introduced her to a promising compound called spermidine.

The science was compelling – one scientist even called it "an anti-aging vitamin" in a published scientific journal – and it was safe. S

till, because it was natural, food-derived, and not a profitable drug, no one was interested in promoting it. Spermidine wasn't available in the US, so she decided to bring it to the US herself.

Today, at age 56, Leslie is living proof that we can get better with age, so long as we take responsibility for our health and meet our doctors halfway.

Once you learn to distill complicated science into its essence, you've developed a transferrable process useful to deeply understanding other subjects.

Having taught athletes to improve their performance by focusing on recovery, our guest this week became interested in the longevity industry.

He began studying cellular renewal and a process called autophagy.

Don Moxley is Director of Applied Science and Brand Development at Longevity Labs Inc. in the United States.

Dedicated to helping people live vibrant, fulfilling lives at all ages, Moxley draws upon his career as an athlete, a sports scientist, and an instructor to lead and educate on the science of autophagy and longevity.

Throughout his life and career, Moxley has applied science to enhancing well-being. A former captain and Big 10 Championship winner with the Ohio State University wrestling team, Don served as the university's first sports scientist.

By giving athletes the ability to track their progress in strength, cardiovascular, and resilience training, he helped the wrestling team win a national title and three Big 10 Championships.

He has helped athletes achieve two Olympic medals, four World Championships, seven National Championships, and 23 All-Americans.

The cleanest, pasture-raised, biodynamic, grass-fed, organic food won't do an unhealthy mouth much good. Even before digestion, with every bite, pathogens can enter the bloodstream through infected gums.

Increasing permeability of the blood-brain barrier and leading to neuroinflammation. Brushing and flossing are a good start. But our one or two annual trips to the dentist puts us in reactive mode. Holistic health is about prevention, so why should oral care be any different?

What my mouth needs will differ from yours. That's where Bristle can help.

Brian Maurer started his career in genomics, at the DNA sequencing company Illumina.

There he was on the ground floor of the genomics revolution that is taking place in healthcare and beyond.

Brian got to work with some of the most cutting-edge scientists and companies innovating in areas like oncology, synthetic biology, CRISPR, and more.

He co-founded Bristle a year ago with the mission of leveraging genomics technology to fundamentally change how we understand and practice oral health.

It's 2022, and you've probably heard of keto/ketosis/ketones. But you don't need to follow any particular diet to experience the profound health and performance benefits of these drinks.

On the performance front, we have ketone esters. Used and researched by NASA, the US military, brain health experts, Tour de France cyclists, Olympians and professional athletes in most sports (NFL, NBA, MLB, UFC), and other high-achievers.

A new drink called Hard Ketones contains a different kind of ketone (R1,3 Butanediol) notable as an alcohol alternative for social confidence, relaxation, boosting mood, and crushing appetite.

Our conversation this week explores how anyone can use these ketone products for greater quality of life.

Frank Llosa is a serial entrepreneur with successes across industries, including real estate, photography featured in National Geographic, and pre-dot com startups. After extensive research, 6 years ago Frank founded KetoneAid — the World's 1st Ketone Ester.

KetoneAid has supplied 80% of the Tour de France teams. Since starting, he's worked tirelessly to spread information, bust myths, and bring cutting-edge performance supplements to the masses.

He sets the bar for affordable quality. In late 2021, he launched Hard Ketones — The World's First Ketogenic and Ethanol-Free Alcohol. Redefining alcohol and shaping the future of the beverage industry.

Ah, alcohol. Enjoying the night at the expense of tomorrow's energy and mood. Years ago, I began researching the best drinks and ingredients that replicate the feel-good effects of booze without destroying my body.

I've tried hundreds of products, so I had low expectations for a blend of adaptogen-like plants. Like with most plant-based ingredients, I didn't expect to feel a thing. But boy was I in for a surprise...

JW Ross is a lifelong innovator and inventor of the "Feel Free" plant-based tonic.

Made of ancient plants from the South Pacific and Southeast Asia, where the ingredients have been used both socially and in wellness for centuries.

JW's also an investor in the international business and financial world. He has been married for over 20 years, and he has two grown children who are also active in business and finance.

JW Ross currently lives and works in Santa Monica, California where he is an avid yoga practitioner.
