Number 1: LONGEVITY EXPERT: The Minimum Effective Dose of Training For Fitness & Longevity at 73 | Mark Sisson
The people grinding hardest for their health are often the ones training themselves into breakdown. What if the endurance work you trust most is the very thing wrecking your heart? Mark Sisson is the founder of Mark's Daily Apple, Primal Kitchen, and Peluva, and one of the original architects of the ancestral health movement. He's a former elite endurance athlete who, at 73, now argues that the training that built his name nearly wrecked his heart. We talked about the minimum effective dose: why most people should stop running, how diet drives 80% of your results, and why your feet may be the most overlooked lever in staying strong for life. What we explore: - Why most people should stop running, and how endurance training drives overtraining and CNS stress. - How chronic cardio contributed to Mark's heart arrhythmias, common among lifelong endurance athletes. - What metabolic flexibility is, and why diet drives 80% of body composition. - Why foot health is the overlooked key to longevity and fall prevention. - How to tell a hack worth doing from biohacking noise.

Number 2: Nick Sweeney: The Breathwork Practice That Rebuilt His Body, Identity and Nervous System
Your doctor's prognosis was final: you'll never walk normally again and your career is over. But what if you could rewrite that recovery with the one tool you already carry with you, your breath? Nick Sweeney is the co-founder of Coherence and creator of the Vortex Method, but before any of that he was a Division 1 cross-country skier who couldn't walk for 10 months after a COVID-era injury. We talk about how he clawed his way out through daily breathwork done from bed, rebuilt enough to place top 20 nationally at Olympic trials, and walked away from the athlete identity to coach breathwork full-time. You are not your label, and the way back isn't always a treatment or a specialist. Sometimes it's the one tool you already carry with you. What we explore: - Breathwork for injury recovery: how Nick healed after 10 months unable to walk - Athletic identity loss: why it hurts more than the injury, and how to rebuild - Nervous system regulation: guarding your mind against the algorithm - Daily breathwork habit: why 5 minutes beats one long session - Overcoming comparison: the "timeline" reframe that breaks the loop Chapters: 00:00 Gen Z Olympic Skier Nick Sweeney's Backstory 03:58 How He Healed a Career Ending Injury With Breathwork 08:06 How to Find Your Identity Beyond Labels 11:40 Why He Left Oil and Gas for Breathwork 17:00 Can You Coach Breathwork Without Certifications 30:46 Why Accountability Matters More Than Information 32:20 How Daily Voice Memo Coaching Creates Change 35:05 Why Investing in Coaches Changed His Life 37:25 How to Let People Change and Release Attachment 41:40 How to Take Ownership and Stop Comparing Yourself 47:02 How to Get Clear on What You Really Want 58:11 How Past Trauma Shows Up in Relationships 01:17:45 How Focused Attention Healed His Foot 01:20:15 Fight Flight Freeze Fawn and Breathing to Regulate 01:23:53 How to Rewrite Pain and Trauma With Breathwork 01:26:21 Sun Gazing and Circadian Morning Routine 01:32:00 Realistic Breathwork for Busy Parents 01:38:00 Slow Breathing CO2 and Longevity Explained 01:45:15 What Is the Vortex Method Breathwork Program About Nick Sweeney: Nick Sweeney is a breathwork coach, former Division 1 cross-country skier, and co-founder of Coherence, a breathwork app he built with his brother. He's the creator of the Vortex Breath and Vortex Method, and he's leading a global movement to get large groups breathing in sync.

Number 3: Navy SEAL on PTSD, Ibogaine & Rebuilding His Marriage After War | Marcus & Amber Capone
Some marriages get tested by distance. This one got tested by war, by silence, and by a version of a man that combat left behind. In this episode, I sit down with Marcus Capone, a retired Navy SEAL of 13 years, and his wife Amber Capone, co-founder and CEO of VETS (Veterans Exploring Treatment Solutions). We walk through the true cost of elite military service and their recovery, individually and as a couple. Marcus speaks candidly about compartmentalization, a survival skill that protects a SEAL in combat but erodes his home life, his drinking habits, treatments that failed him, and a period when suicide felt logical. Amber talks about her resentment and the personal work that freed her from waiting to be rescued. It's a story of refusing to stay stuck, and of a treatment that changed everything afterward. What we explore: - How deployment trains you to compartmentalize, and why that skill quietly erodes a marriage. - Why conventional PTSD treatments failed Marcus, and the undiagnosed traumatic brain injury behind it. - What ibogaine treatment actually involves and what shifts after. - How Amber healed through therapy, faith, and surrender rather than waiting on Marcus. - Why heavy drinking and pharmaceuticals became coping tools, and what finally broke the cycle. - Why roughly 17 veterans die by suicide daily, and what VETS is building to change it. Chapters: 00:00 A Navy SEAL Couple's Journey to Healing 02:17 Choosing the SEAL Path After 9/11 06:17 Raising Kids Alone as a SEAL Wife 11:41 The BUD/S Mindset That Changes You 16:21 What Constant Deployments Do to a Family 18:09 How SEAL Wives Compartmentalize Marriage 21:26 Life After the Teams and Losing Purpose 29:35 Why He Left the SEALs for Banking 35:24 The Therapy Breakthrough That Saved Amber 43:34 How Suicidal Thoughts Start With Numbing 45:57 Why Ibogaine Worked After Everything Failed 52:56 What Happens During an Ibogaine Trip 01:01:00 How Amber Saw Her Husband Change 01:05:08 Fighting FDA Barriers to Fund Veteran Healing 01:08:31 How to Support Veterans With PTSD About Marcus and Amber Capone: Marcus Capone served 13 years as a U.S. Navy SEAL before facing a harder battle at home: depression, TBI, PTSD, and treatments that never held. Amber Capone supported that career while raising their family, then drove the search for what conventional medicine missed. In 2019 they co-founded VETS, a nonprofit expanding access to psychedelic-assisted therapies for veterans through treatment grants, research, and policy reform Connect with Marcus and Amber Capone: Website: https://thecapones.com YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@conversationswiththecapones Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/marcus_amber_capone Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/4ssUKN0CoCBU0SRDqFCYIu – The Gabby Reece Show This is where I have real conversations with the people I find most worth listening to: scientists, athletes, coaches, parents, and thinkers who are doing the hard work of building a life that holds up over time.

Number 5: Dave Asprey: How Can You Upgrade Your Brain, Body and Longevity
Some biohacking gets sold as a shortcut, hacking the right levers and you'll coast to 180. But the most important thing learned in a lifetime of measuring everything is the one thing that never shows up on a blood panel. I sat down with Dave Asprey, the entrepreneur who named and organized "biohacking," founder of Bulletproof, Danger Coffee, Upgrade Labs, and 40 Years of Zen, and four-time New York Times bestselling author. Join me to talk about what it really takes to build a body and mind that holds up for the long run. We move from data-driven protocols to the parts most people skip: parenting without reactivity, forgiveness, surrender, and knowing when your intuition is telling you something your spreadsheet can't. Dave opens up about his autism diagnosis, losing a $100M business, and why he believes mitochondrial function shapes not just your energy but your capacity to think clearly and connect. Whether you're a parent, a founder, or just trying to stay sharp as the years add up, this one frames longevity around your character, not only your bloodwork. What we explore: - How to raise resilient kids by modeling non-reactivity and clear boundaries. - Why intuition-first decisions, validated by data, beat leading with data alone. - What surrender really means, and the lesson behind a $100M loss. - How mitochondrial function connects energy to focus, mood, and clear thinking. - Why deliberate discomfort is an underrated tool for building durability at any age. Chapters: 00:00 The Godfather of Biohacking Explains It All 02:20 How to Parent Teens Without Reactivity 10:23 How Biohacking Goes Beyond the Body 11:25 Can You Actually Hack Consciousness? 24:11 What Actually Helps Kids on the Spectrum 30:37 Why Deliberate Discomfort Makes You Stronger 33:42 The Surrender Lesson From a $100M Loss 47:47 Why 80% of Longevity Is Fear of Death 50:29 The Case for Living to 180 Years 52:47 Why Personal Sovereignty Matters Most 53:57 How Trauma Silently Drains Your Energy 57:06 The 5 F-Words Your Body Runs On 01:05:35 How to Actually Screen for Cancer Early 01:19:14 Travel Hacks Every Frequent Flyer Needs 01:42:52 The Peptides Behind His Longevity Stack 01:47:21 Why He's Hopeful About Human Potential About Dave Asprey: Dave Asprey is the entrepreneur widely credited as the "father of biohacking" and the founder of Bulletproof, Danger Coffee, Upgrade Labs, and 40 Years of Zen. He's a four-time New York Times bestselling author and host of the top-ranked podcast The Human Upgrade, known for blending rigorous, data-driven experimentation with a broader philosophy about human potential.
