Dementia is often seen as a looming threat of aging, but brain decline is not inevitable. Our brains are designed to function well throughout our lives, and any cognitive loss should be addressed swiftly. Unfortunately, despite extensive research, conventional medicine and big pharma have yet to provide a solution. In this episode, we explore the potential of methylene blue, a repurposed generic drug with compelling evidence supporting its role in brain health, cognitive support, and anti-aging. Plus, we’ll dive into the latest anti-aging headlines.

The weight loss drug revolution is here, driven by Big Pharma with new drugs like Ozempic, Wegovy, semaglutide, and tirzepatide being marketed as the solution to national obesity. While effective, at $1,500 a month, these drugs may not always be the best first option. Older, cheaper medications have shown similar success. In this episode, we discuss "sequential polypharmacy"—using different drugs as your body adapts, continuing weight loss success. We’ll also explore side effects and how to avoid them, along with the debate between wild vs. farmed salmon and disturbing water safety news.

When it comes to testosterone therapy for men, myths often overshadow the facts. In this episode, we’ll break down some of the most common concerns about prostate cancer, heart disease, and infertility, and explore them through the lens of new research. We’ll also discuss the increasing prevalence of low testosterone in young men. The episode kicks off with key medical updates, including new drugs for hot flashes and postpartum depression, as well as the latest research on prostate cancer.

Intermittent fasting is trendy, but what’s the real science behind it? Can it truly help you live longer? In this episode, we break down the facts, discuss its impact on weight loss, and share the Intellectual Medicine approach to achieving lasting results. We also cover key medical headlines, including how post-mastectomy x-ray therapy may raise cancer risk, concerns over titanium hip implants, and the role of genetic testing in determining the best foods for your body. Tune in for valuable insights into fasting and more.

Dementia is one of the greatest fears of aging, but the idea that cognitive decline is inevitable is wrong. There’s no such thing as “senior moments”—these are early signs of brain decline that should be addressed. Your brain can stay sharp and fully functional for your entire life if you act early and have a brain-health plan in place. Don’t accept brain decline as normal due to age. By taking action at the first signs of trouble, you can ensure a high-functioning brain until your last breath.

There’s a big difference between optimal thyroid levels and those that are just “normal.” Medicine often oversimplifies thyroid function into broad categories of “normal” or “abnormal,” but thyroid health exists on a spectrum. Lab results alone shouldn’t dictate treatment—symptoms like fatigue, weight gain, dry skin, brain fog, and irregular heartbeats should be the primary focus. Treating thyroid issues based solely on labs can miss the mark. In this podcast, we’ll break down how the thyroid works and guide you in having a more informed conversation with your doctor.

Buoyed by its status as a performance-enhancing substance, growth hormone has a reputation for being youth enhancing, perhaps even life extending. What is a truth behind this alluring reputation? Should you use growth hormone as part of your anti aging regimen? Is it going to increase your risk of cancer? All these questions are answered in this fast-paced podcast. You will learn about the Somatopause, the age associated depletion of growth hormone. You'll understand when, and whether to consider growth hormone as part of your anti-aging lifestyle.

Immunizations have become almost sacred in conventional medicine, often treated with unwavering belief. But is the evidence as strong as we think? Could we be overlooking the potential risks of overstimulating the immune system? With so many vaccines available, how do you know which ones are truly necessary? In this episode, I share my thoughts on immunizations, explore hidden risks, and provide insights on recommended adult vaccines. This podcast will equip you with the knowledge to make informed decisions about immunizations that align with your values and lifestyle.

Your cells rely on oxygen and nutrients, delivered by your arteries, to stay healthy and vital. Conventional medicine believes arterial aging is inevitable, but there's no biological reason this has to be true. In this episode, we challenge the notion that arterial hardening is irreversible and explore how arteries can remain youthful throughout your life. We’ll also present Intellectual Medicine's research supporting this idea and offer practical strategies for arterial anti-aging. By maintaining healthy arteries, we can prevent heart attacks, strokes, and slow the aging process.

Do you ever feel like your child’s pediatrician is rushing you through a long list of immunizations without giving you the time to consider the risks and benefits? Welcome to the age of bureaucratic medicine, where the number of shots for kids has grown dramatically. While some vaccines are essential, others may not be worth the risks. In this episode, Dr. Petteruti shares his insights and recommendations, helping you prioritize which immunizations are truly necessary—this is the conversation you wish your doctor had time for.
