What if psilocybin wasn’t just a mental health breakthrough — but a longevity intervention?

In this powerful, science-driven conversation, Dr. Louise Hecker shares groundbreaking research exploring how psilocybin’s active metabolite, psilocin, may influence the fundamental biology of aging.

We explore:

• How psilocybin impacts cellular senescence, one of the key drivers of aging

• The surprising effects on oxidative stress and antioxidant pathways

• What happened to telomere length in aging cell models

• Why serotonin (5-HT) receptors exist throughout the body — not just the brain

• The dramatic survival results in aged mice given monthly high-dose psilocybin

• Why psychedelic research was stalled for decades — and what’s changing now

• The potential role of psilocybin as a future geroprotective agent

This episode moves beyond hype and into mechanism — exploring how psychedelics may influence healthspan at the cellular and systemic level.

A fascinating look at how a once-misunderstood compound could reshape preventative medicine and aging science.

What if aging, fatigue, and chronic disease all shared the same root cause?

In this episode, Dr. Ash Kapoor, physician and expert in precision and longevity medicine, reveals why mitochondrial dysfunction sits at the center of metabolic breakdown, cardiovascular disease, inflammation, and accelerated aging. Rather than focusing on symptoms, Dr. Kapoor explains how cellular energy production determines how well we heal, perform, and age.

We explore why calorie counting misses the mark, how modern lifestyles damage mitochondrial function, and why restoring metabolic flexibility is one of the most powerful levers for longevity. This conversation reframes health from surface-level metrics to what’s happening deep inside the cell.

We explore:

• Why mitochondria drive energy, inflammation & aging
• The link between metabolic dysfunction and chronic disease
• How precision diagnostics reveal early dysfunction
• Why weight is a poor proxy for metabolic health
• What actually restores cellular energy & resilience

This episode offers a clear, science-based roadmap for rebuilding energy and extending healthspan—starting at the cellular level.

Drawing on his work in microbiome research, data-driven diagnostics, and preventive health, Naveen shares why curiosity, accountability, and big thinking are essential if we want to end chronic disease — not just manage it.

We explore:

• Why reactive medicine fails long-term health
• The role of gut health in disease prevention
• How diagnostics can predict illness years earlier
• Moonshot thinking applied to longevity
• What it really takes to live disease-free longer

This conversation is a wake-up call — and an invitation to rethink what’s possible for human health.

Inflammation may feel like a modern problem — but Ayurveda understood it over 5,000 years ago.

In this deeply grounding episode, Dr. Shivani Gupta, Ayurvedic practitioner, researcher, and author of The Inflammation Code, reveals how ancient Ayurvedic wisdom is finally being validated by modern science. From circadian rhythm and gut health to nervous system regulation and women’s hormones, Dr. Shivani explains why so many of us are chronically inflamed — and how simple daily rituals can restore balance, energy, and longevity.

We explore why inflammation, not aging, is driving fatigue, brain fog, hormonal chaos, and perimenopause symptoms, how “mental inflammation” manifests in the body, and why turmeric and other adaptogenic herbs remain some of the most powerful anti-inflammatory tools available.

We explore:

• Why inflammation is the real root of chronic disease
• Vata, Pitta & Kapha — and how personalization really works
• Gut-brain connection through an Ayurvedic lens
• Mental inflammation, stress & nervous system overload
• How rhythm, sleep, food & ritual restore vitality

This is a powerful reminder that healing doesn’t require more force — it requires alignment.

What if stress wasn’t your enemy—but your greatest teacher?

In this episode, nervous system and HRV expert Salim Najjar reveals how heart rate variability acts as the language of the nervous system, guiding us toward emotional resilience, clarity, and longevity. Drawing from his own journey—from entrepreneurial burnout to nervous system sovereignty—Salim explains why learning to regulate stress is no longer optional in modern life.

We explore

• How childhood patterns shape adult reactions
• Why you can’t think your way out of overwhelm
• How practices like breathwork, sleep, reframing, and community can transform both health and performance.

This conversation reframes stress as a training ground and HRV as the compass back to balance, purpose, and embodied leadership.

What if pain isn’t a sign of damage — but a signal for change?

In this powerful conversation, Dr. Kelly Starrett, world-renowned coach, physical therapist, and co-founder of The Ready State, breaks down what actually keeps the human body healthy, mobile, and resilient across a lifetime. From movement and sleep to nervous system safety and social connection, Kelly explains why most people are chasing optimization while ignoring the fundamentals that truly matter.

We explore why sitting is quietly destroying mobility, how the brain interprets pain as threat, why movement signals safety to the nervous system, and how small daily habits — like walking, sitting on the floor, breathing, and sleeping consistently — compound into extraordinary long-term health.

We explore:

• Why pain is information, not damage
• How mobility restores nervous system safety
• The overlooked role of sleep, walking & play
• Why adherence matters more than intensity
• How to build a body that supports adventure, not fear

This episode is a return to basics — and a reminder that longevity isn’t about doing more, but doing what matters, consistently.

What if your stress responses, emotional patterns, and even motivation weren’t flaws to fix but signals to understand?

In this powerful episode, Dr. Rewire (Dr. Alok Trivedi) reveals how emotional biohacking and brain DNA insights can transform the way we relate to stress, performance, and ourselves. Drawing on nearly three decades of clinical experience, Dr. Rewire explains why emotions are data, not directives and how rewiring the nervous system can unlock peace of mind, resilience, and longevity.

We explore how personalised brain DNA patterns influence motivation, stress tolerance, recovery, and relationships and why one-size-fits-all biohacking often backfires. This conversation reframes mental health from “fixing what’s broken” to understanding how the brain is designed to protect us and how to work with it instead of against it.

We explore:

• Emotional biohacking and nervous system regulation
• Brain DNA, neurotransmitters & neuroflexibility
• Why stress, anxiety & burnout are adaptive signals
• Personalised approaches to mindset, health & longevity
• How to rewire emotions for clarity, balance & peace of mind

This is a grounded, empowering conversation that invites you to know yourself — scientifically and live in alignment with your unique design.

Why does hunger feel so loud — and why does willpower so often fail?

In this illuminating episode, Sarah Kennedy, founder and CEO of Calocurb, unpacks the biology of hunger, the gut-brain axis, and the powerful role of GLP-1 in appetite regulation. Drawing on over 15 years and $30 million of New Zealand government-backed science, Sarah explains why hunger is driven by our most primitive brain systems — and how understanding this biology can finally bring peace with food.

We explore how bitter taste receptors in the gut stimulate appetite-suppressing hormones, why dieting can actually increase hunger over time, and how natural GLP-1 activation differs fundamentally from pharmaceutical injections like Ozempic.

We explore:

• The evolutionary biology of hunger and food noise
• How GLP-1, CCK and PYY regulate appetite
• Why calorie restriction backfires long-term
• Natural vs synthetic GLP-1 pathways
• How appetite regulation supports metabolic health, insulin sensitivity & longevity

This is a science-grounded, compassionate conversation that reframes hunger — not as a personal failure, but as biology you can finally work with.
