The Dylan Gemelli Podcast

Most people assume that when something hurts, that's where the problem is. Knee pain means something is wrong with your knee. Back pain means something is wrong with your back. But what if the actual cause is somewhere completely different?

In this episode, I'm joined by Sue Hitzmann, exercise physiologist, manual therapist, and creator of the MELT Method, to explore the often-overlooked role of fascia in chronic pain, injury recovery, and healthy aging.

In this episode, we talk about:

■ Why chronic pain can persist without an obvious injury

■ What fascia is and why it matters

■ Why traditional pain treatments don't always work

■ How pain in one area can originate somewhere else

■ The surprising connection between stress and physical pain

■ Whether popular recovery therapies actually work

■ Simple daily habits that may improve recovery and mobility

If you've been dealing with recurring pain, unexplained stiffness, or injuries that never seem to fully heal, this conversation will give you a different perspective on what might be happening inside your body.

I’ve always believed that taking care of your health means more than just eating right, exercising, or taking supplements.

Through my own experiences, I’ve learned how much our mindset, faith, and daily decisions influence the way we feel. And the more I’ve strengthened my relationship with God, the more I’ve come to understand that true health involves the mind, body, and spirit working together.

But I’ve also seen how easy it is to get caught up in trying to fix every problem with another medication, supplement, or treatment, without ever asking what’s causing the problem in the first place.

That’s why I was excited to have this conversation with Dr. Austin Lake.

Dr. Austin Lake is a Doctor of Physical Therapy, functional medicine practitioner, and founder of Wholly Health. He specializes in helping women address hormonal imbalances, chronic fatigue, gut health issues, and other persistent health concerns through a more personalized approach.

During our conversation, we challenged some common approaches to healthcare, discussed the growing reliance on prescription medications and supplements, and explored why so many women struggle with hormonal changes, weight gain, and menopause.

We also talked about something that’s deeply important to both of us: the role of faith in our health and the importance of taking responsibility for the choices we make.

And it left me thinking about a question I believe we should all be asking:

Are we actually addressing what’s making us unhealthy, or have we become so focused on treating symptoms that we’ve forgotten to look for the cause?

In This Episode, We Talk About:

■ The debate around overprescribing thyroid medications, statins, and antidepressants

■ Why taking more supplements doesn’t necessarily mean better health

■ How faith, stress, and mindset influence our approach to well-being

■ The connection between nutrition, gut health, and chronic inflammation

■ Why some women struggle with weight gain despite dieting and exercising

■ Hormonal changes during perimenopause and menopause

■ Birth control, hormone balance, and women’s reproductive health

■ Why personalized healthcare matters more than following health trends

■ The importance of faith, personal responsibility, and independent thinking

I've spent a good part of my life believing that money was the answer to everything. I wanted the expensive cars, designer clothes, hundreds of pairs of sneakers, and the kind of lifestyle that would make people look at me differently.

That obsession with money even got me into serious trouble. And when I eventually started making real money through hard work, I found myself falling into the same habits. Buying things I didn't need, spending ridiculous amounts of money, and constantly chasing more.

But no matter how much I had, something was always missing.

Looking back, what bothers me most isn't the money I wasted. It's the time and attention I failed to give the people who genuinely loved me. My wife, my kids, my grandkids, my mom. They didn't need any of those expensive things. They just wanted me.

Through my relationship with God, I've come to understand what it actually means to be rich. It's not about how much money you make, but the love you give, the people you help, and the purpose behind what you do.

Don't get me wrong. There's nothing wrong with making money, working hard, or enjoying nice things. The problem begins when money becomes the entire purpose of your life.

Today, at 44 years old, I can genuinely say I'm the richest I've ever been, and it has very little to do with my bank account.

My hope is that this episode makes you question what you're really chasing and whether it's bringing you the fulfillment you're looking for.

Enjoy the episode, God bless, and I'll see you in the next one!

What if the stress you're trying to eliminate is actually what your body needs to become stronger?

Despite focusing on nutrition, hormones, and exercise, I still struggled with stress, mental clarity, and feeling constantly stuck in fight-or-flight mode.

That's why I was excited to sit down with Salim Najjar.

Salim is a former CEO and human performance educator who specializes in heart rate variability (HRV), nervous system health, and stress resilience.

During our conversation, we explored why chronic stress may contribute to inflammation and unhealthy aging, what HRV can reveal about your body's ability to recover, and why constantly trying to eliminate stress might not be the answer.

We also discussed how everyday habits like checking your phone first thing in the morning, drinking caffeine, poor sleep, and overtraining can affect your nervous system. Salim shared his perspective on unresolved emotional trauma, mental health medications, wearable health trackers, and how elite athletes like Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan developed the ability to perform under pressure.

I hope this conversation helps you rethink your relationship with stress, better understand your nervous system, and find ways to improve both your physical and mental well-being.

Enjoy the episode, God bless, and I'll see you in the next one!

The water you drink every day might not be hydrating you the way you think it is.

In this episode, I sit down with Ken Guoin, founder of Ophora Water, to challenge what we think we know about hydration, water quality, and longevity.

After switching from reverse-osmosis water to Ophora, I noticed significant changes in how I felt, including improvements in my hydration, appetite, and overall well-being.

Ken talks the technology behind oxygen-enriched water, why he believes conventional drinking water falls short, and the surprising ways water quality could influence our health.

In this episode, we talk about:

■ Why drinking more water doesn't always mean better hydration

■ The difference between reverse-osmosis and oxygen-enriched water

■ How hydration may influence energy, metabolism, and appetite

■ My personal experience with dehydration and irregular heart rhythms

■ The hidden chemicals in our drinking and shower water

■ Why Ken believes chlorine and plastics pose serious health risks

■ How oxygen-enriched water could support cellular health and longevity

■ Why Ken hasn't taken a conventional shower in years

I've spent a good part of my life trying to figure everything out on my own. Whenever I faced a problem, I believed I could find the solution myself. I thought I had all the answers, and for a long time, I gave myself all the credit.

But through my relationship with God, I've come to realize just how wrong I was.

One of the most important things I've learned is that prayer doesn't have to be complicated. You don't need to know the perfect words, follow some elaborate routine, or have an answer to every question. You just need to do is sit down, put everything else aside, and have an honest conversation with God.

And perhaps even more importantly, learn to listen.

That's what I wanted to share with you in this episode. Not just how to pray, but how prayer has changed the way I deal with stress, make decisions, approach difficult situations, and understand what truly matters in life.

In this episode, I talk about:

■ Why prayer is much simpler than most people think

■ The importance of listening to God instead of constantly asking for things

■ How ego can prevent us from recognizing God's guidance

■ Why unanswered prayers might actually be a blessing

■ How prayer has helped me find peace

■ Why I believe we should pray for wisdom, patience, compassion, and other virtues

■ How God can guide us through the people closest to us

I also want to make something clear. I'm far from perfect, and I still have days when I get frustrated, complain, worry, and struggle to let go of things I can't control. But that's exactly why prayer has become such an important part of my life.

I don't have everything figured out, and I no longer believe I'm supposed to.

My hope is that this episode encourages you to spend more time with God, speak honestly about what's on your heart, and learn to trust Him even when things don't go the way you planned.

Enjoy the episode, God bless, and I'll see you in the next one!

Welcome to my special 175th EPISODE! 

This is also my very first special roundtable interview!  I could not have had two better than Dr. Josh Axe and Dr. Will Cole as my first guests!  These roundtables are a gathering of the most brilliant and impactful minds, coming together to offer deep thoughts and insights of the most discussed aspects of health, wellness and faith!  These roundtables will be continuing as special episodes each month to continue to do God's work in bringing as many of us together to make the biggest impact possible!!  ENJOY!! 

For years, I thought that if I ate right, trained hard, stayed disciplined, and took care of my body, I was doing everything I needed to stay healthy.

But I've learned that being healthy on the outside doesn't always mean everything is healthy on the inside.

My father passed away from a heart attack at just 59 years old. And despite everything I've done to take care of myself, I recently discovered that I have elevated Lp(a) levels and plaque in my arteries.

That was a wake-up call.

It made me realize just how much can be happening inside our bodies without us ever knowing it.

That's why this conversation with Dr. Josh Axe and Dr. Will Cole was so important to me.

Dr. Josh Axe and Dr. Will Cole are leading voices in functional medicine, bestselling authors, and longtime advocates for looking beyond symptoms to understand the underlying factors affecting our health.

Together, they've written Heal Your Cells, a book exploring how cellular health, inflammation, metabolism, and lifestyle may influence chronic disease and the aging process.

We talked about how our organs can age faster than our bodies, the hidden risks of heart disease, and how stress and trauma affect our health.

One of the most meaningful parts for me was discussing faith and how true health goes beyond the physical. It's about caring for our minds, bodies, and our relationship with God.

And it made me wonder:

What if the biggest threats to our health are the things we can't see or feel until it's too late?

In This Episode, We Talk About:

■ Cellular health, mitochondria, and chronic disease

Over the years, I've had the privilege of learning from some incredible doctors, experts, and people from all walks of life. And through my work, my podcast, and the thousands of conversations I've had, I've started noticing something that genuinely concerns me.

People don't know who to trust anymore.

There's so much conflicting information out there, especially when it comes to health, nutrition, supplements, and the advice we see on social media. Everyone seems to have an answer, everyone claims to be an expert, and too many people are more interested in selling you something than actually helping you.

But something I've learned over the years, including through my own mistakes, is that being knowledgeable doesn't mean having all the answers. I've had to learn to admit when I'm wrong, question my own beliefs, and understand that what works for one person might not work for another.

That's why I wanted to dedicate this episode to something I believe everyone needs to understand: how to recognize someone you shouldn't trust.

In this episode, I talk about:

■ The biggest red flags to look for when deciding who to trust

■ Why some people get angry when you question their advice

■ How influencers and affiliate marketing contribute to health misinformation

■ Why you don't need every supplement or the latest health trend

■ The dangers of fear-based health advice and trying to live a perfectly healthy life

■ The importance of humility, accountability, and thinking for yourself

My goal isn't to tell you that I'm always right or that you should only listen to me. It's actually the opposite.

I want you to ask more questions, challenge what you're being told, and learn to recognize the difference between people who genuinely want to help you and those who have other intentions. Enjoy the episode, God bless, and I'll see you in the next one!

I've spent years learning about health, longevity, supplements, and ways to optimize the human body.

And one thing I've learned is that there's always something new to discover. But there's also a lot of misinformation out there, especially when it comes to supplements and products promising to improve our health.

That's why I believe it's so important to understand the science behind what we're putting into our bodies, rather than simply trusting what's written on a label.

And that's what made this conversation with my good friend Chris Burres so interesting.

Chris is a carbon nanomaterial scientist, entrepreneur, author of Live Longer and Better, and co-founder of MyVitalC. His company has been manufacturing C60, a molecule whose discovery contributed to a Nobel Prize in Chemistry, since 1991.

During our conversation, Chris walked me through the history of this molecule, the science behind its potential benefits, and why he believes it could play a role in supporting energy, sleep, recovery, and healthy aging.

We also got into something that I think deserves much more attention: how little most people actually know about the supplements they're taking, how those products are manufactured, and whether they contain what the label claims.

I hope this conversation encourages you to ask more questions, do your own research, and make better-informed decisions about your health.

Enjoy the episode, God bless, and I'll see you in the next one!

I've spent a big part of my life focused on health, fitness, nutrition, and finding ways to get the most out of my body.

But one thing I never paid nearly enough attention to was my mouth.

I've had around 25 root canals and plenty of dental work over the years. And despite everything I've learned about health, I never really stopped to question how all of that might be affecting the rest of my body.

That's one of the reasons I've been looking forward to this conversation for almost eight months.

Dr. Dominik Nischwitz, better known as Dr. Dome, is a world-renowned biological dentist, author of It's All in Your Mouth, and founder of BioDentistry 3.0. He's dedicated his career to connecting dentistry with functional medicine, healing, and longevity.

What fascinated me most wasn't just his knowledge of dentistry. It was his approach to health and his willingness to question things most people simply accept. We discussed root canals, metal fillings, ceramic implants, and why he believes oral health plays a much bigger role in our overall health than most people realize.

But beyond dentistry, we connected over our personal struggles, learning to slow down, taking responsibility for our past, and putting our egos aside to help others.

And after everything we discussed, I started looking at my own health, especially my dental health, a little differently.

In This Episode, We Talk About:

■ Why Dr. Dome believes oral health is the missing link in longevity

■ How root canals and previous dental work may affect overall health

■ The potential problems with metal fillings and titanium implants

■ The connection between oral health, inflammation, and the gut microbiome

■ Why a healthy-looking smile doesn't always mean a healthy mouth

■ What Dr. Dome would do about my 25 root canals

■ Why he believes conventional dentistry needs to evolve

■ His personal struggles with depression, burnout, and overworking

■ Why taking responsibility is essential for personal growth

■ How unresolved emotional trauma can affect our behavior

■ The importance of sleep, recovery, and knowing when to slow down

■ Why helping others matters more than recognition, money, or status
