- EP 127: Lyme Cases Just Quadrupled - And It's Not a Rural Problem Anymore
Michigan's confirmed Lyme cases nearly quadrupled in three years... and the CDC now classifies the state as a high-incidence jurisdiction for the first time.
Kyle Hulbert and Dr. Benjamin "Dr. K" Kosubevsky break down what's driving the surge, why Lyme is called "the great imitator," and what actually happens after a diagnosis... including the part most people never get told.
We cover why ticks are showing up in suburbs and cities instead of just the woods, what Lyme actually is and why the strain you get changes your symptoms, the narrow window where a standard course of doxycycline has the best odds, why the bullseye rash is a timing signal and not just a symptom, practical prevention that isn't just "avoid ticks," and why Dr. K argues that treating Lyme without first addressing mold, heavy metals, parasites, and gut damage is what makes it so hard to get on top of. He also gives a blunt take on SOT (now called Q-REstrain) and on Lyme protocols that run $20,000 to $90,000.

🔑 KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Lyme is no longer only a Northeast, deep-woods problem. Michigan went from 553 confirmed cases in 2022 to 2,167 in 2025 and is now a CDC high-incidence jurisdiction- The bullseye rash is a clock, not just a symptom. Antibiotics have their best odds when started early. Get seen fast, don't wait it out.
- Lyme presents differently depending on strain and co-infections, which is why it gets mistaken for cardiac, neurological, joint, and gut conditions
- Dr. K's clinical position: treating Lyme in isolation, without addressing
mold, heavy metals, parasites, and gut health, is why many protocols stall- Cost is not a proxy for quality. Dr. K has seen protocols priced from $20,000 to $90,000 that may or may not work; ask what's being measured and how
- Whatever provider you choose, ask them to show you tracked lab values over time, not just testimonials

16 min - EP 126: Is Your Home Making You Healthier… or Sicker? [ft. Reid Price of Homeys]
Is your home making you sick? Start with the air you breathe and the water you shower in.
Kyle Hulbert sits down with Reid Price, president and co-founder of Homeys, a Florida healthy home company that tests a home's air and water and traces problems back to the source. They get into:
👉 Why tightly sealed homes trap moisture and grow mold in the HVAC system
👉 What "fresh air systems" look like in real houses👉 Why an under-sink filter does nothing for the water you shower in👉 The difference between filtering air and purifying it👉 Why the highest-rated air filter on the shelf can backfire👉 The house where the tap had more chlorine than the pool👉 And more!This is a field report from someone whose company sells home testing and fixes, not a research review. We checked the claims afterward and corrected them below.

🔑 KEY TAKEAWAYS
- An under-sink filter treats one tap. Showers and baths need a filter on the main water line- Dust feeds mold. An air filter that fits and gets changed on time is mold prevention
- Aim for MERV 13 or as high as your system can handle, and ask an HVAC tech before you jump
- If you feel off with no clear cause, your home is worth testing alongside your body

EP 125: He Treats Everything at Once. We Go One at a Time. Who's Right? (ft. Evan Hirsch)
Evan Hirsch, MD spent five years with chronic fatigue syndrome while running his own functional medicine practice. He only recovered once he found and treated every underlying cause. Today he coaches people with chronic fatigue and long COVID, and his approach is the opposite of ours. He treats everything at once and does very little testing.
Coach Kyle and Evan compare the "shotgun" and "sniper" approaches directly. They cover his Toxic Five framework, why lab tests can miss hidden toxins and infections, the problem of heavy-metal recirculation, hidden jaw infections, and why his patients often don't feel a change until around month nine.

You took the probiotic, you paid for the gut test, and you still can't go on vacation. Here's what's actually happening in there.
Kyle Hulbert and theosteodoc, Dr. Benjamin "Dr. K" Kosubevsky, sit down with Dr. Monisha Bhanote 🌟 board-certified five times over, in anatomic pathology, clinical pathology, cytopathology, integrative medicine, and culinary medicine🌟 and get into gut health:
👉 Which tests are actually validated
👉 Why interpreting a result is harder than running it👉 What "leaky gut" really means when a pathologist explains it👉 Why most people taking probiotics probably shouldn't be👉 Why she almost never reaches for antibiotics or antifungals.👉 And more!━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

🔑 KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Running a gut test is the easy part... interpreting it is where most people fail, and it's why so many end up cycling through practitioner after practitioner without getting better- "Leaky gut" is real and has a real name: increased intestinal permeability. IIP has real causes such as medications, food additives, alcohol, infections, and chronic disease
- Probiotics are not a default fix. Food sources like yogurt, kefir, sauerkraut, kimchi should be a focus, with supplements only when testing shows something is genuinely missing
- If you do take probiotic supplements, rotate the strains rather than staying on the same ones indefinitely
- Probiotic capsules likely won't survive a flight, so they're not the travel tool people think they are: magnesium bisglycinate and ginger are more practical
- Your gut microbiome runs on its own circadian clock, which is why travel disrupts digestion before you notice anything else. (This one was new to us too)
- Fecal matter transplants are early enough that screening standards aren't where blood banking landed after decades. So, worth watching, not worth rushing.

about two to one. That figure has been revised — Sender, Fuchs, and Milo (PLOSBiology, 2016) put it closer to 1:1, roughly 38 trillion bacterial cells to 30trillion human ones. The point stands that there are a staggering number ofthem; the ratio is just smaller than the number that gets repeated.https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pbio.1002533━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

- Parasitic infection is real and underdiagnosed in the US, but it's notuniversal — pinworm is the genuinely common one, and it's mostly akids-and-households story- The most common household routes are unglamorous: pets on furniture, young children, and shared food and utensils- "Triple washed" is a processing description, not a sterilization claim— it reduces contamination, it doesn't eliminate it- Standard advice is NOT to re-wash pre-washed bagged greens at home — see the note below, this surprised us too- Giardia from untreated pond, lake, or stream water is one of the most common ways Americans actually get a parasite- If you have persistent GI symptoms, unexplained fatigue, or changes in stool lasting more than a week, that's a conversation with a doctor — not a reason to buy a cleanse online━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Episode Summary
In this episode of Longevity Unlocked, Coach Kyle sits down with women’s health and menopause expert Dr. Maria Sophocles to discuss menopause, HRT, cholesterol, and long-term health.Dr. Sophocles explains how declining estrogen can affect the brain, bones, heart, metabolism, and sexual health. She also examines misconceptions surrounding HRT following the Women’s Health Initiative.
The conversation covers LDL and genetic cardiovascular risk, blood glucose, vaginal estrogen, pelvic floor health, and the HRT “10-year rule.” Dr. Sophocles emphasizes individualized care based on medical history and personal risk factors.
Listeners will gain a clearer understanding of:
- How estrogen affects overall health
- Why cholesterol and cardiovascular risk matter after menopause
- How the Women’s Health Initiative shaped HRT concerns
- What the HRT “10-year rule” means
- How vaginal estrogen differs from systemic HRT
- How hormones affect sexual, urinary, and metabolic health
- Why HRT decisions should be individualized
This episode provides practical context on hormones, menopause, HRT, and longevity.
Key Takeaways- Estrogen supports brain, bone, heart, metabolic, and sexual health.
- Bone density can decline rapidly after menopause.
- Hormonal changes may contribute to brain fog, joint discomfort, vaginal dryness, and cholesterol changes.
- LDL levels and family history can help identify cardiovascular risk, including familial hypercholesterolemia.
- Dr. Sophocles argues that early Women’s Health Initiative findings created lasting misconceptions about HRT.
- HRT should be considered individually with a qualified medical provider.
- Vaginal estrogen may support vaginal, sexual, bladder, and urinary health.
- Pelvic floor physical therapy can support postpartum and pelvic health.
Resources Mentioned by Dr. Maria SophoclesAs mentioned by Kyle during the episode, listeners can check out the resources Dr. Sophocles discussed:

39 min - EP 121 Derma: The All-Natural PRP Filler That Actually Works — Without the ToxinsEpisode Summary
In this episode of Longevity Unlocked, Coach Kyle and Dr. K introduce Derma, a new all-natural PRP-based filler made entirely from your own blood. Dr. K explains how it's created, how the procedure works using a cannula for added safety, and why it avoids the chemical reactions, toxin buildup, and "pillow face" associated with synthetic fillers. They also discuss treatment areas, expected results and longevity, how Derma can be safely reversed with saline if needed, ideal candidates, pricing, and how to maximize results by pairing it with microneedling and GHK-Cu peptide therapy.
Listeners will walk away with a clearer understanding of:
- What Derma is and how it differs from traditional synthetic filler
- Why it eliminates the toxin and pillow-face risks associated with conventional filler
- How the cannula delivery system makes it one of the safest filler options available
- What areas can be treated and what results to realistically expect
- How to reverse it if you don't like the outcome
- What to stack with Derma for enhanced and longer-lasting results
This episode is a practical, honest look at what natural PRP filler can and can't do — and why it's worth considering for anyone curious about aesthetic enhancement without the chemical baggage.
Key Takeaways- Derma is a PRP-based filler made from your own blood, eliminating synthetic chemicals, toxins, and the risk of "pillow face."
- A cannula-based technique makes vessel occlusion virtually impossible.
- Results typically last 2 to 10 months, with full effects developing over about a month.
- If needed, Derma can be safely diluted with saline instead of using chemical reversal agents.
- It's ideal for fine lines, crow's feet, under eyes, eyebrow lifts, turkey neck, hands, and post-implant scarring.
- It's not recommended for severely loose or sagging skin.
- Two treatments six weeks apart provide longer-lasting, more even results.
- For best outcomes, microneedle two weeks before treatment, wait at least three months afterward, and support collagen with GHK-Cu peptide and a quality moisturizer.

10 min - EP 120 Peptides Demystified: What They Are, What They Do, and Who Should Stay AwayEpisode Summary
In this episode of Longevity Unlocked, Coach Kyle and Dr. K explore the science behind peptides, explaining what they are, how they work, and why they have become a major topic in longevity and biohacking. They cover key categories including healing, growth hormone, longevity, brain, immune, and metabolic peptides, separating evidence-based science from marketing claims. The discussion highlights BPC-157 and TB-500 for healing, CJC-1295, Ipamorelin, and Tesamorelin for growth hormone support, Epithalon for longevity, and Dihexa and BDNF for cognitive health. The episode also emphasizes the risks of unregulated peptide sourcing and explains why most peptides are not recommended for people under 18, with brain peptides discouraged for anyone under 25.
Listeners will walk away with a clearer understanding of:
- What peptides are and how they differ from amino acid supplements.
- Why BPC-157 and TB-500 support healing but don't repair structural damage.
- How growth hormone peptides differ and when medical oversight is needed.
- Why Epithalon stands out as a longevity peptide.
- How Dihexa and BDNF support brain function.
- Why peptide sourcing and age guidelines matter.
This episode is the most thorough, practical breakdown of peptides we've done — designed to help you understand what you're actually taking before you take it.
Key Takeaways- Peptides are amino acid chains that trigger specific biological functions.
- BPC-157 and TB-500 support healing but do not repair structural injuries.
- Growth hormone peptides range from Ipamorelin to advanced protocols requiring medical supervision.
- Epithalon supports longevity, while Dihexa and BDNF support brain health.
- Thymosin Alpha-1 boosts immunity but may worsen active Lyme disease.
- IGF-1 LR3 carries serious risks, including low blood sugar and potential cancer concerns.
- Peptides are not recommended for people under 18, and brain peptides should be avoided under 25.
- Use only vendors with FDA-approved API sourcing and lot-specific COA testing.

16 min - EP 119 Don't Go Bald: PRP, Biologics & the Truth About Hair Restoration
Episode Summary
In this episode of Longevity Unlocked, Coach Kyle and Dr. K explore the realities of hair restoration, beginning with Coach Kyle's personal experience with hair thinning. Dr. K explains why PRP and biologics only work on living follicles and why he prefers direct scalp injections every 3 mm over microneedling. They also discuss how MSCs can improve results.The conversation covers realistic treatment expectations, including three monthly sessions, results that may take up to eight months, and the need for ongoing maintenance. They also highlight supportive therapies such as GHK-Cu peptides, red light laser caps, and clean, toxin-free hair care products.
Finally, they discuss DHT blockers like finasteride and why the potential risk of permanent sexual dysfunction makes them a poor choice for many people.
Listeners will walk away with a clearer understanding of:
- Why PRP and biologics only work for thinning follicles — not dead ones
- Why direct scalp injections outperform micro needling for follicle stimulation
- What a realistic treatment timeline and maintenance schedule looks like
- How adding MSCs can amplify hair restoration results
- Which adjuncts — peptides, red light caps, and clean shampoo — support scalp health
- Why DHT blockers carry risks most people aren't warned about
This episode is a no-nonsense, practical guide to understanding your hair restoration options — and knowing when to act before it's too late.
Key Takeaways
- PRP and biologics only work on living hair follicles.
- Direct injections every 3 mm are more effective than microneedling.

12 min - Ep 118 Every Popular Fat Loss Tool Ranked: GLP-1s, Peptides & Devices
Episode Summary
In this episode of Longevity Unlocked, Coach Kyle and Dr. K cut through the noise surrounding fat loss and break down what actually works. They begin with the foundation of all weight loss: calories in versus calories out, then explore the most popular fat loss tools, medications, peptides, and technologies available today.The conversation covers fat burners, peptides, and all four generations of GLP-1 medications, explaining how they work, what sets them apart, and which options show the most promise for effective weight loss and muscle preservation. They also examine fat-reduction technologies such as Kybella, Morpheus8, RF devices, and CoolSculpting, clarifying what truly destroys fat cells and what is primarily cosmetic.
The episode concludes with a discussion on body sculpting, lymphatic drainage, and gut health, highlighting why diet and lifestyle remain the most important drivers of long-term fat loss.
Listeners will walk away with a clearer understanding of:
- Why calories in versus calories out remains the foundation of fat loss
- Which fat burners and peptides have scientific support
- How the different generations of GLP-1 medications work
- What fat-reduction technologies actually kill fat cells
- When body sculpting and fat-killing treatments make sense
- Why gut health should not be the starting point of a fat loss journey
This episode provides a practical, science-backed guide to fat loss, focusing on evidence-based strategies rather than gimmicks or quick fixes.
Key Takeaways
- Fat loss comes down to calories in versus calories out, with every tool influencing that balance.
- Most fat burners offer only short-term benefits, while SLU-PP-332 may help increase metabolic rate.
- GLP-1 medications are effective for weight loss, with newer generations offering improved appetite control and muscle preservation.
- GLP-1s shrink fat cells but do not remove them, so weight regain remains possible.
- Kybella, RF devices, and CoolSculpting can permanently destroy fat cells, but are best used after significant weight loss.
- Most body sculpting treatments are cosmetic and do not produce meaningful fat loss.
- Diet is the primary driver of gut health, and GLP-1 medications work best when used as prescribed.
