Long COVID isn’t one single diagnosis—it’s a spectrum of post-viral patterns that can affect energy, cognition, immunity, circulation, and inflammation. In this episode, Dr. Greg Jones is joined by Dr. Robin Rose, a double board-certified physician (Internal Medicine + Gastroenterology) and a leading authority on the gut–brain–immune axis, to unpack what she’s seeing clinically in patients with persistent post-COVID symptoms.

Dr. Rose explains how Long COVID can present as fatigue, brain fog, immune dysregulation, clotting changes, and autoimmune-like patterns—and why symptoms can vary dramatically from person to person. She shares early lab trends she noticed during the pandemic, including shifts in white blood cell counts, abnormal iron storage markers, elevated D-dimer, and increased inflammatory signals.

The conversation explores mechanisms being investigated in Long COVID, including how spike-related pathways may interact with cells and contribute to ongoing inflammation in some individuals. They also discuss microclots and circulation issues, gut-derived “toxin-like” peptides, advanced testing approaches, and why some protocols focus on binding strategies rather than aggressive breakdown.

If you’re trying to understand the lab patterns, symptom clusters, and root-cause frameworks being used in complex Long COVID cases, this episode provides a clinically grounded, mechanism-focused overview.

Biohacking promises longer life, sharper cognition, and faster recovery—but which strategies are actually supported by science? In this episode, Dr. Greg Jones sits down with Dr. Neil Paulvin, a New York–based, board-certified physician specializing in longevity and regenerative medicine, to separate evidence-based optimization from internet hype.

Known as “the peptide doc,” Dr. Paulvin explains why popular biological age tests often lack consistency and why functional markers—such as sleep quality, grip strength, visceral fat, and cardiovascular metrics—offer a clearer picture of long-term health. The discussion breaks down the “Core Four” lifestyle pillars for longevity, with sleep highlighted as the single most powerful driver of metabolic, hormonal, and cognitive resilience.

They also explore peptide therapy, including BPC-157 for gut health and inflammation, the Wolverine Stack for injury repair, Tesamorelin for visceral fat, and emerging mitochondrial peptides shaping the future of cellular medicine. Dr. Paulvin explains why AI tools like ChatGPT are not yet capable of replacing clinical judgment and shares insights into what’s coming next in longevity science.

Whether you’re new to biohacking or refining an advanced health optimization protocol, this episode delivers a grounded, clinically informed roadmap to improving biological age, cellular health, and performance.

True wellness isn’t about chasing symptoms—it’s about understanding the internal communication systems that allow the body to repair, adapt, and thrive. In this episode, Dr. Greg Jones is joined by Dr. Kathleen O’Neil-Smith, a Harvard-trained physician and pioneer in peptide therapy, to explore how peptides, mitochondria, and personalized medicine work together to support resilient, long-term health.

As a founding board member of the International Peptide Society, Dr. Kathleen explains how small signaling proteins orchestrate large-scale healing by influencing cellular communication, inflammation, metabolic efficiency, and recovery. The conversation highlights why mitochondrial health sits at the foundation of longevity and how modern medicine often overlooks the body’s innate capacity to heal.

Moving beyond trends and surface-level protocols, Dr. Kathleen shares how peptide therapy integrates with hormones, gut health, nervous system balance, and lifestyle to create durable clinical outcomes. They also discuss why one-size-fits-all medicine consistently fails patients, and how clinicians can think more strategically about restoring resilience rather than suppressing symptoms.

In this episode, Dr. Greg Jones welcomes back Kim Look to explore the cutting-edge landscape of EBOO (Extracorporeal Blood Oxygenation and Ozonation). While many are familiar with traditional ozone therapy, EBOO represents a significant evolution, enabling the treatment of much larger volumes of blood through a sophisticated filtration and gas exchange system.

Kim breaks down the "same but different" mechanics of EBOO compared to standard Major Autohemotherapy (MAH), explaining how the therapy acts as a "bio-detox" rather than just a mechanical filter. They discuss the controversial "waste cup" often seen on social media, the crucial role of Ultraviolet Blood Irradiation (UBI), and why EBOO is becoming a powerful tool for navigating long-haul symptoms, Lyme disease, and general longevity. Finally, Kim shares essential safety protocols, including the specific nutritional prep required to prevent blood sugar crashes during treatment.

Whether you’re a patient looking to improve skin health at a cellular level or a provider interested in the evolving field of regenerative aesthetics, this episode offers a science-backed, practical framework for understanding what truly drives skin regeneration and longevity.

In this episode, Dr. Greg Jones sits down with Dr. Sharon Hausman-Cohen, Chief Medical Officer of IntelliXX DNA, to explore how medical genomics is transforming the way we understand heart disease, brain health, inflammation, and metabolism. Most people think genetics stops at traits like eye color or ancestry. Genomics goes much deeper—analyzing how thousands of genes interact to influence cardiovascular risk, cognitive function, clotting tendencies, nutrient metabolism, and chronic inflammation.

Dr. Hausman-Cohen explains why many direct-to-consumer DNA tests fall short, how incomplete interpretation can mislead patients, and why clinician-guided genomic analysis allows for truly personalized care. The conversation also dives into inflammation, methylation, homocysteine, cholesterol myths, caffeine metabolism, mitochondrial health, and women’s unique clotting risks.

Whether you’re trying to reduce your risk of heart disease, improve mental clarity, or understand how your biology responds to diet, supplements, and medications—this episode offers a science-based roadmap for precision health.

📌 About Dr. Sharon Hausman-Cohen

Dr. Sharon Hausman-Cohen has spent over a decade using genomics to deliver personalized medicine. Recognizing that complexity and misinformation were major barriers, she helped develop IntelliXX DNA™, a clinician-focused, evidence-based genomic interpretation platform.

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is everywhere—but why does it help some patients and completely fail for others?

In this episode, Dr. Greg Jones sits down with Dr. Joe Albano, a nationally recognized expert in regenerative orthopedics, to break down why not all PRP is created equal. They explore the real reasons PRP fails, including missed diagnoses, incorrect platelet dosing, poor patient preparation, and inadequate after-care protocols.

Dr. Albano explains the true order of regenerative treatments, from PRP to bone marrow–based therapies, and why age alone should never disqualify someone from regenerative care. The conversation also dives into overlooked but critical factors like hormone balance, peptides, nutrition, sleep, body weight, and why common interventions—such as steroid injections and statins—can quietly sabotage joint and tendon healing.

This is a direct, science-based discussion for patients considering PRP, stem cell therapies, or regenerative injections—and for anyone who wants to avoid costly mistakes and understand what actually helps the body heal.

📌 About Dr. Joe Albano

Dr. Joe Albano is a lifelong multisport athlete with experience in hockey, ultra-marathons, cycling, skiing, and endurance sports. He has served as a team physician for organizations including U.S. Speed Skating, U.S. Military Endurance Sports, and Real Salt Lake.

Having personally undergone numerous procedures for his own sports injuries, Dr. Albano is deeply committed to non-surgical solutions for tendon, nerve, and cartilage injuries. He specializes in ultrasound-guided injections, PRP, and bone marrow aspiration, and regularly teaches national courses on regenerative techniques.

His approach emphasizes whole-body optimization, addressing hormones, supplements, sleep, and lifestyle to maximize healing and long-term outcomes.
