Chronic fatigue, muscle aches, cognitive impairment, exhaustion after minor activity, thus is the misery of those who suffer post COVID-19 "long-haul" syndrome.

In this episode, Dr. Petteruti explores some of the theories behind the cause of this disabling condition and discusses an infusion based, cellular pathway toward recovery.

COVID-19 "long-haul" has very similar characteristics to post Lyme syndrome, chronic Epstein-Barr virus, and other post viral states of compromised health. These conditions are referred to in the medical literature as "myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome" (ME/CFS).  Listen as Dr. Petteruti discusses this "invisible disease" along with recommendations and an approach toward recovery.

Do you ever pause to think of exercise as a dose-dependent activity? The right amount of exercise matters, and too much can cause harm.

Many people embrace exercise with religious fervor. If they get enough steps in each day, or lift enough weight and train hard, it will be the antidote to the aging process. We have watches to remind us to get up and walk around during the day, track our steps and remind us to hit the gym but will this really stop the clock on aging?

In this episode we will present evidence supporting the ideal amount of exercise in order to preserve youth and extend life. We will also discuss how to manage exercise that could tip into the toxic range, and we refute the commonly embraced belief that exercise is a path toward weight reduction. 

Now that the immunization against COVID-19 has become available, people are questioning whether or not it is in their best interest to receive the vaccine. This episode explores the different factors that are worth considering as you contemplate your decision. It also reflects upon the ways to help your immune system work at its best should you choose to get vaccinated.

As with most decisions regarding your body and health, the answer to the question rests as much on philosophy as it does on science. It also rests upon the risk/benefit analysis which is different for each person. Is it more important to your health, or the health of people you come in contact with? Which of these two objectives do you value the most? This episode invites you to reflect upon these perspectives as you contemplate the vaccine.

It has been touted as the elixir of youth, but is growth hormone the right thing for you to do?

In this episode Dr. Petteruti discusses the difference between growth hormone, and peptides for the purpose of stimulating growth hormone release. He also discusses some of the risks and benefits, and reflects upon the role of growth hormone when it comes to anti aging therapy.

He will explain the concept of "Sarcopenia" the loss of muscle mass in vitality, as well as the role of "immunosenescence" the loss of immune function as we age.

He also reflects upon the role of growth hormone with regard to cancer, and the medical/legal implications of its use.

Should I get a knee replacement? Painful knees might be one of the most common symptoms people face. Oftentimes we are told it is arthritis, and that it will progress. Drugs are commonly prescribed. Often the path leads to a surgeon's door where procedures are performed. The body is a self healing machine, so too are your joints. In this podcast I describe some of the approaches that can be used to rejuvenate and restore painful arthritic knees. We will also explore the risks of surgical intervention, even for common indications like a torn meniscus. Research is building demonstrating that these procedures often are more harmful than beneficial.

Protect yourself from well-intentioned surgeons who believe an operation is a solution to your problem. It may not be. Repel the notion that arthritis is progressive without potential for reversal. This is contrary to what we know about the cellular nature of the human body. It always strives to heal.

We don't have a healthcare system, we have a sick care intervention system. Pharmaceutical companies, hospitals, and doctors make the bulk of their money when you are sick and they get to intervene. There is very little incentive to put forth research on ways to keep you healthy.

Drugs have become the centerpiece of what we mistakenly call  "healthcare" in our country. Drugs and surgery are dangerous, toxic, and can cause harm. On the other hand there are times where conventional medical intervention can be valuable. In this episode we discussed the split between health maintenance, and our sick care intervention system. We also give listeners specific advice regarding drug classes that are commonly utilized but have significant risk.

Living the 120 year lifespan is helped by avoiding encounters with the "sick care" intervention system that presently exists. Intellectual Medicine, and its brainchild "DRIPBaR" are helping to lead the charge toward a new approach to healthcare maintenance.

Should I get a mammogram? A major study out of Australia spanning decades and including tens of thousands of women has concluded that mammograms do not correlate with better survival in the face of breast cancer.

This along with other accumulating evidence raises questions regarding the dogma of universal mammograms. Who should get mammograms? What are the benefits of acquiring them? Are there better alternatives? Just as importantly, what things can be done to reduce the risk of acquiring breast cancer?

These questions are addressed in this provocative podcast that will give listeners the opportunity to consider an alternative to the current recommendations regarding breast cancer screening

Estrogen improves skin quality, sleep quality, brain function, bone health, vaginal and sexual health. Without it all, these systems will suffer.

The connection between estrogen and breast cancer was falsely reported. Estrogen replacement does not increase breast cancer risk!

Learn the facts in this podcast. Use this information to make your best, most informed decision. We now have the option to choose how we will age. Will you choose to wither like prior humans? Or boldly step into the vital path of antiaging.

Testosterone for women?

Testosterone is one of the most abundant and essential hormones for women. Traditionally thought of as a man's hormone, testosterone fuels the brain, bone, muscle, mood and sexual vitality of women. Prior to the onset of the menopause, and even while the menstrual cycle and fertility remain intact, testosterone levels in women can decline to a point that creates symptoms including; decreased sex drive, increased mid abdominal fat, depressed mood and increased irritability among other problems.

Long neglected in the field of human healthcare, testosterone is growing in its popularity and in the understanding of its central role in preserving the health and vitality of women. Simply put, the majority women will need to replace this hormone at some point in their life span, or suffer the consequence of its decline. Shrinking muscle, shrinking bone, shortening height, deteriorating skin quality, loss of libido function and cognitive decline are all felt to be consequences of declining testosterone levels.

This episode explains the antiaging perspective on why testosterone therapy should be considered for women and puts some of the perceived risks into perspective.

Can I Prevent Cancer Relapse Using Vitamin C?

Perhaps the only thing worse than catching cancer, is having it relapse. All too often primary treatment helps put cancer remission only to have it surge back years later.

Dr. Petteruti describes his theory on using high-dose intravenous vitamin C to prevent cancer from coming back. Inexpensive, safe, and shown to have toxic effects on cancer, vitamin C has the potential to help prevent cancer relapse over the span of your life
