Dr. Josh Wageman is back! You may remember him from episodes 71 and 72, where we dove deep into cholesterol, lipids, and what you really need to know about heart health. But in this episode, we’re shifting gears to discuss something shocking—his book was BANNED. If you’ve been searching for it and coming up empty, you’re not alone. Dr. Wageman reveals why it was pulled, the hurdles he faced in getting it back, and the bigger implications of censorship in the medical field.

The good news? His book is LIVE NOW and back in circulation! We also get into what’s next for Dr. Wageman, what he’s working on, and why this conversation is more relevant than ever.

Tune in, share with a friend, and let’s dig into the truth!

Have you ever heard of BPC-157? In this episode, Andrea and I dive into the fascinating world of this synthetic peptide, known for its powerful healing and regenerative properties. Originally derived from a protein found in gastric juice, BPC-157 has been studied since the 1990s for its potential benefits in tissue repair, gut health, neuroprotection, and even cardiovascular healing.

We break down:
✅ What BPC-157 is and how it works in the body
✅ Its potential benefits for wound healing, brain function, gut health, and mood regulation
✅ The science behind its anti-inflammatory and regenerative pathways
✅ Who should be cautious about using it (autoimmune conditions, cancer concerns, and sports regulations)
✅ How it’s commonly used, dosing considerations, and why sourcing matters

While BPC-157 isn’t FDA-approved and remains unregulated, it’s gaining traction in biohacking and recovery circles. We also discuss important safety considerations and why working with a knowledgeable provider is key. Plus, stay tuned for future episodes covering other peptides often used alongside BPC-157!

In this episode, we take a deep dive into IV Therapy—a powerful tool for immune support, energy, hydration, and overall wellness. We break down why IV infusions are gaining popularity, from their immediate impact on fatigue and illness prevention to long-term benefits like improved nutrient absorption and detoxification.

You'll learn how IV therapy bypasses digestion to deliver 100% bioavailable vitamins and minerals, making it a game-changer for those with gut issues, chronic stress, or difficulty tolerating oral supplements. We also explore some of the most common IV infusions, including:

💧 Myer’s Cocktail – A blend of B-vitamins, magnesium, vitamin C, and electrolytes for hydration, fatigue, migraines, and muscle recovery.
🦠 Immune Booster – High-dose Vitamin C, Glutathione, and Zinc to enhance immune function, fight inflammation, and shorten illness duration.
⚡ NAD+ Therapy – The latest innovation in IV therapy, linked to cellular energy, anti-aging, and cognitive support.

Whether you're an athlete looking for faster recovery, someone struggling with chronic fatigue, or just want to boost your immune system, this episode will help you decide if IV therapy is right for you.

BOOK YOUR IV THERAPY WITH ANDREA on February 14th or 15th at KARVE Fitness Studio in Evergreen, Colorado!

In this episode, we welcome back Josh Wageman, Lipid Specialist and author of the upcoming book The Home Security System and the Lipid Neighborhood: Un-Complicating Cholesterol and Cardiovascular Disease. Josh continues to shed light on the complex world of cholesterol and cardiovascular health, busting myths and diving into the details that matter most.

We tackle common misconceptions, including the overhyped “almighty ratio” and the myth of “good cholesterol,” and explore why particle size (dense vs. fluffy) may not be as critical as previously thought. Josh shares insights into familial hypercholesterolemia, discussing the value of genetic testing and how it can guide both lifestyle changes and drug therapies for those with persistent high cholesterol.

Can plaque build-up in the arteries be reversed? Josh examines this controversial topic, offering perspective on the science and sustainability of extreme regimens like those proposed by Esselstyn.

Finally, we round out the discussion with practical tips for accessing stored fat for energy, along with Josh’s expert recommendations for diet, supplementation, and lifestyle strategies that empower you to take control of your health.
