In this episode of The Healthspan Podcast, Dr. Robert Todd Hurst, MD, FACC, FASE, sits down with Dr. Tammy Penhollow, DO, regenerative medicine specialist, Navy veteran, and founder of Precision Regenerative Medicine.

Together, they explore how personalized, precision-guided treatments like PRP and bone marrow therapy are restoring mobility, relieving chronic pain, and helping patients avoid surgery, often after years of failed conventional care.

They discuss the pitfalls of reactive, one-size-fits-all medicine, why “motion span” is essential to longevity, and how true healing starts with fixing the root cause, not masking symptoms. This is Medicine 3.0 in action.

In this episode of The Healthspan Podcast, Dr. Robert Todd Hurst, MD, FACC, FASE, sits down with Natasha Mortenson, a HealthspanMD member, for a real-world transformation story that challenges what most people believe about aging, muscle, and hidden risk.

They also dig into what Natasha calls the iceberg syndrome, the hidden risk beneath “looking healthy,” the role of testing and re-testing, and why “one size fits all” advice breaks down in real biology.

In this episode of The Healthspan Podcast, Dr. Robert Todd Hurst, MD, FACC, FASE, is joined by Dr.Ruchir Sehra, MD, MBA, FACC, FHRS, a cardiologist and electrophysiologist, for a candid discussion about what actually moves the needle for healthspan when life is full. They talk about the fundamentals that sound simple but are not easy, the nuances from person to person, and the role of measurable data in turning good intentions into sustainable outcomes.

They have a practical conversation about what cardiologists actually do to optimize their own healthspan. They discuss how busy physicians can lose track of their own wellness, and why sleep, exercise, walking, and consistent tracking matter more than perfection.

You will also hear how simple routines like eight hours of sleep, resistance training, running, even if you are not a runner, and walking whenever possible can create momentum that improves everything else.
