Today, I'm joined by the remarkable Dr. Robin Rose—a pioneering physician, author, and survivor who refused to accept a devastating kidney disease diagnosis as her fate. Instead of waiting for dialysis, Robin dove deep into the world of diet, detoxification, peptides, and bioregulators, turning her health crisis into a calling and culminating in her groundbreaking new book on chronic kidney disease.

In our conversation, Robin shares why kidneys are often the "forgotten organ," the real reasons so many cases of kidney decline go undetected, and how lifestyle choices—from protein intake to environmental toxins—can be both the problem and the path to healing. We get personal about the subtle symptoms, practical lab markers, and actionable steps you can take right now to protect your kidney health for the long term.

You'll also hear about the latest research, eye-opening real-life cases, and some cutting-edge interventions that might just help you preserve—or even lengthen—your telomeres.

Today, I'm joined by Christian Drapeau, a visionary pioneer in stem cell science and the mind behind the concept of endogenous stem cell mobilization. Christian's journey takes us from his days as a neurophysiology researcher, wrestling with questions about memory and consciousness, to a life-changing pivot into plant medicine—ultimately leading to groundbreaking work with stem cell–mobilizing botanicals like blue-green algae and sea buckthorn.

In our conversation, Christian explains how the body's innate repair system slows down dramatically with age, and why many of the answers we're seeking in regenerative health might actually be within our own biology. We dive into the latest science on harnessing your body's own stem cells for healing—covering everything from muscle recovery and brain support to remarkable outcomes in heart failure, Parkinson's, and beyond.

Today, I'm joined by Eliza Kingsford, a clinical psychologist and expert in the psychology of weight loss, who brings a refreshingly honest—and much needed—perspective to the conversation around GLP-1 peptides, weight regulation, and nervous system health. Eliza shares how her two decades of experience revealed a missing piece in lasting weight loss: understanding and addressing the role of our nervous system beneath the surface of every behavior, craving, and "failed" attempt.

SPECIAL OFFER FOR YOU! If today's conversation got you thinking about how your nervous system and metabolism are deeply connected… and why you can't out-diet or out-willpower a dysregulated body, I want to personally invite you to the upcoming Master Your Weight Loss Workshop.

In three live sessions, you'll learn how to regulate your nervous system, repair your metabolism, and finally lose weight in a way that feels natural, sustainable, and stress-free.

This is about freedom, not willpower. We start Sept 9 it's completely free, and spots go quickly. Reserve yours, click here to reserve your spot.

What we discuss:

Guest Eliza Kingsford's focus: the nervous system ... 00:04:17

Why behavior change alone isn't enough for weight loss ... 00:07:05
