He has formulated over 700 supplements, food, beverages, and cosmeceuticals and patented 20 novel ingredients and is now known as the Ingredientologist - the scientist of ingredients.

As part of my summer reboot series, I have brought back this incredible interview with cellular medicine physician, Dr. Elizabeth Yurth.  I can honestly say I have never met a more brilliant physician...

Dr. Elizabeth Yurth is the Co-Founder and Medical Director of Boulder Longevity Institute, where she has been providing Tomorrow’s Medicine Today to her clients since 2006. Dr. Yurth obtained her Medical Degree from the University of Southern California Keck School of Medicine and completed her residency at the University of California – Irvine. Along with her 25-plus years as a practicing orthopedist specializing in sports, spine, and regenerative medicine, Dr. Yurth is double-Board Certified in Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation and Anti-Aging/Regenerative Medicine. She has a Stanford-affiliated Fellowship in Sports and Spine Medicine, and a dual-Fellowship in Anti-Aging and Regenerative Medicine (FAARM) and Anti-Aging, Regenerative and Functional Medicine (FAARFM) through the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine (A4M). She has also completed a Fellowship in Human Potential and Epigenetic Medicine and is part of the first cohort of providers to receive the A4M National Peptide Certification.

Dr. Elizabeth Yurth is changing the narrative of osteoarthritis and chronic pain in ways most physicians don't even consider.  I am so lucky to know her!!

We get into all of it here - inflammation, what might be inflammatory markers, peptides and how they come into play and so much more.

If you suffer from arthritis, or want to explore the health options with cellular medicine, this is a must listen.  To get in contact with Dr. Yurth and her team, contact The Boulder Longevity Institute.

Mentioned in this episode - my other recording with Dr. Yurth on the differences between general physicians, functional medicine physicians, and cellular medicine physicians - Episode 92.

As part of my summer reboot series, I wanted to include this very spiritual discussion with Depika Mistry who is an amazing intuitive guide and healer.   I am a big believer that we need a little spirituality mixed into our lives to live a more balanced life.

We all desire to be in perfect alignment with our lives.  Isn't this your main purpose for life?  To love, to be loved, to be healthy and to be happy?

Sometimes we need some extra help to dig deeper on what is preventing that alignment.  Or what is preventing optimal health when you're doing all things "right".

Depika Mistry has unique ways in which she helps her clients heal, explore into past lives, rebalance their energy and more.  We had a fabulous discussion on all of it.

For access to free (and very powerful!) energetic alignments, sign up free on Depika's website at https://anoume.com/sign-up.

You can also find her on Instagram @anoumechange.

This past June, I was a speaker at the Biohacking Congress in Boston and I was interviewed by Savio P. Clemente of The Human Resolve.  Savio is a fellow podcaster, a biohacker, a writer and a health coach.  And an all-around nice guy.

In this interview, I explain how I changed my life.  How I started a new career in my late 40's.  My viewpoints on wellness and more.  It was fun to be on the flip side of an interview.  I hope this can inspire you to really live out your passion in life.  It's sometimes our worst experiences in life that can bring out the best in your life.

The next Biohacking Congress is happening in Miami on October 22 & 23.  Get your tickets now and meet me there along with so many other exhibitors and presenters.  Go here to get your tickets:  https://biohackingcongress.com.
