Together, we dive into one of the biggest topics of our time—microplastics. With fresh research showing a 74% reduction in blood microplastics in just one month, Heather Hutchens and Dr. Debra Kimless from Pure BioHealth open up about what that means for our health, our pets, and how we think about longevity.
In this eye-opening conversation, we break down how microplastics don’t just clutter our environment—they infiltrate our bodies, disrupt cellular energy, drive chronic inflammation, and even pass through to future generations. We also get real about the hidden sources of plastic exposure all around us, including the products we think are “healthy,” and why our companion animals may be the environmental sentinels we’ve been ignoring.

Today, I’m joined by the incredible Dr. Nora Abdul-Hussein, a physician-scientist, medical geneticist, and one of the leading voices in the field of genomic medicine. In this episode, Dr. Abdul-Hussein and I dig into a huge question—why do two people taking the exact same GLP-1 medication have such wildly different results, from weight loss to side effect profiles? She shares her unique path from internal medicine to cutting-edge population genomics, and how her work at 23andMe is beginning to answer some of medicine’s toughest puzzles.

Today, I’m joined by Dan Pardi, a pioneering researcher who has dedicated years to understanding sleep, performance, and—the real focus of today’s conversation—the science of human energy. Dan unpacks how modern life is quietly draining our brain’s battery, and why brain energy, not just the march of time, could be the hidden driver of longevity.
We dive into why short “exercise snacks” can outperform marathon workouts for keeping your brain sharp, how chronic stress and relentless screen time undermine cognitive performance, and the surprising reasons creatine is fast becoming a game-changer for brain health, not just muscle building.

Today, I’m joined by Dr. Jill Crista, a pioneering voice in environmental medicine and a relentless detective when it comes to chronic, mysterious illness. In our conversation, Dr. Crista reveals how she uncovered the hidden world of mold and mycotoxins—not just as respiratory irritants, but as stealthy drivers of fatigue, brain fog, hormone disruption, and accelerated aging. She shares her early experiences working with “non-responders” in Lyme disease, and how uncovering toxic mold exposures transformed her entire understanding of whole-body health.
