July 19, 2023Greatest Hits: Dirty Secrets of the Wine Industry w/ Todd White
A low-alcohol, Keto-friendly wine that doesn’t leave you feeling worse for the wear sounds like something from your dreams. I’m joined by Todd White of Dry Farm Wines to talk about Natural Wine production and why it’s the best wine for you to drink.

About Todd White
Todd White is a serial entrepreneur and creator since the age of 17. Today, after 15 years in the wine business, he dedicates his life to educating and helping people make better choices about food, nutrition, and how they think about consuming alcohol.
As the founder of Dry Farm Wines, a writer, speaker, and a leader in the organic/Natural Wine movement, he has widely educated communities on conscious consumption. Todd is deeply passionate about bringing people together to share love and laughter through Natural Wine and the health benefits it provides.
Todd is a self-described biohacker who practices daily meditation, Wim Hof breathing, cold thermogenesis, a ketogenic diet, and daily 22-hour intermittent fasting. He is also a frequent speaker on topics including ketogenic lifestyle, meditation, and the Dry Farm Wines unique company culture. His entire team gathers each morning for a meditation and gratitude practice.

Key Takeaways
Just because a wine is labeled organic doesn’t mean it’s natural.
Women in menopause tend to have more headaches and other hangover symptoms when they drink red wine because of the additives in it.
The sugar content in Natural Wine is extremely low, so it’s not going to spike your blood sugar like other wines.
In This Episode
What the natural wine movement is
How the wine industry mimics the processed food and factory farming industries
What you need to know about the additives, both natural and chemical, used in wine production
The role of irrigation in winemaking
Where red wine gets its deep red color
Why middle-aged women have a more difficult time drinking red wine

July 12, 2023Greatest Hits: Male 2.0 with Dr. Tracy Gapin
We’re living in a low testosterone epidemic. Yet boosting testosterone is one way of increasing longevity. Today’s guest is an expert on this topic. He’ll tell you the most important steps that men can take to optimize their health and boost their testosterone levels.
Dr. Tracy Gapin is a board-certified urologist, world-renowned men’s health and performance expert, professional speaker and author. He has over 20 experience providing Fortune 500 executives, entrepreneurs, and athletes a personalized health plan. Dr. Gapin combines his compassion and extensive experience with men’s health care and cutting-edge technology to offer patients individualized, state-of-the-art care.
Low testosterone affects every aspect of men’s health. It leads to drops in energy, mental acuity, bone density, and nutritional health. With this hormone being such a key piece of the puzzle, Dr. Gapin made it his mission to address the root causes of its decline.
Dr. Gapin has seen how environmental impacts disrupt hormone production. Endocrine disruptors are everywhere these days. Plastics, personal care products, and more contain phthalates that disrupt proper hormone production.
Since everyone’s genetic blueprint is unique, we all respond to our environment differently. Using data and the latest technology, Dr. Gapin helps his patients make informed decisions to address the root cause, not just symptoms. Sleep and epigenetics, being a central part of hormonal health, Dr. Gapin makes these a focus of his practice.
What can you do to avoid phthalates in your environments and get better sleep? Let’s chat about it in the comments on the episode page!

My Your Longevity Blueprint course is currently 50% off to celebrate the launch of the podcast PLUS I'm throwing in a free personalized consultation!

In this episode
How testosterone levels impact every aspect of men’s health
The many endocrine disruptors in the environment
How the approach to men’s health is becoming more proactive
Using wearable technology to make informed health decisions
What epigenetics are and its role in hormonal health
Dairy, soy, and their negative effects on testosterone production

June 28, 2023Greatest Hits: C60 Purple Power with Ken Swartz
Ken Swartz, aka “Ken the Scientist," joins me today to talk about oxidative stress, mitochondrial efficiency, and Carbon 60, also known as C60.
Ways in which oxidative stress can damage the body:
Rips holes in cell membranes
Prevents proteins from folding properly
Damages cellular blueprints (DNA and RNA)
Ken Swartz Bio:
Ken Swartz, aka “Ken the Scientist,” is the founder and Chief Science Officer of C60 Purple Power, a health and wellness company committed to delivering the highest quality Carbon 60 products available.
Ken earned a Master of Science degree from the University of Colorado at Denver and a Bachelor of Science in Economics from Arizona State University. He spent the early part of his career as a secondary school teacher, and he continues to be passionate about helping and educating people. Ken has run several research science laboratories over the course of his career and discovered C60 while developing the MOXY fusion reactor.
During his research, he became aware of the powerful free radical neutralizing properties of C60. He first began using C60 as a radiation protectant while leading a fusion research project. He noticed, after taking C60 for a couple of months, that not only was it protecting him from radiation, but he discovered that his health was also improving. So, he continued taking it.
About eight months after Ken started taking C60, he was at a routine visit with his optometrist and discovered that his *dry Macular Degeneration was gone. His doctor was dumbfounded and told him that in all his years, he had never seen such an improvement.
Due to this healing experience, Ken decided to dedicate himself to the research, study, and production of C60 Buckminster Fullerenes.
In 2016, Ken founded C60 Purple Power which offers 99.99% pure sublimated Carbon 60, (never exposed to solvents), delivered in 100% certified organic oils, made in the USA.
Ken believes that “your health is your responsibility” and he is on a mission to help people feel empowered to take control of their health.

June 07, 2023150: Season 3 Top Longevity Tips, Part 2
Today, we’re taking another look at the top longevity tips from all our experts! They explain how lifestyle factors influence your health and why you should do whatever you can to avoid too much exposure to environmental toxins. They discuss the importance of being honest with yourself, processing your emotions, and living a healthy lifestyle. You will also learn about the benefits of community and connection, synchronizing your natural clock with the sun, recognizing the lessons when things go wrong, and understanding your nervous system.
The Biggest Top Tips for Functional Health and Longevity
Manage your stress because having too much can create physical and mental problems. Managing stress could mean making major or minor lifestyle changes, taking supplements, doing yoga, or meditating.
Lifestyle factors are foundational for living a long and healthy life. You must eat well, get enough quality sleep, and help your body adapt to stress.
It is essential to do whatever you can to reduce your toxic load. Using clean cosmetics, taking infra-red saunas, and eating organic produce will help you do that.

Top Longevity Tip #1 - Dr. Kara Fitzgerald
Finding community and connection is essential for longevity. (0:21)
Top Longevity Tip #2 - Kate Vazquez
Learning about the nervous system and being able to understand the state you are in will help your longevity. Lifestyle factors are also important, so eat good quality food, get enough sleep, and do whatever you can to help your body adapt to stress. (0:32)
Top Longevity Tip #3 - Dr. Tricia Pingel
Reducing stress and prioritizing yourself and your health is crucial to avoid being stepped on and falling further down the chain. (1:06)
Top Longevity Tip #4 - Dr. Farah Sultan
Synchronizing your natural clock with the sun can help you live longer. (1:23)
Top Longevity Tip #5 - Dr. Bindiya Gandhi
You must learn how to manage your stress if you want to live a longer, happier, and more fulfilled life. Stress can cause heart attacks, depression, and autoimmune conditions. Managing stress may require lifestyle changes, therapy, meditation, yoga, adaptogens, quitting your job, or even getting divorced. (1:48)
Top Longevity Tip #6 - Nathalie Niddam
Stay curious and open, and avoid being rigid or becoming dogmatic after learning something new. Do your best to take care of the basics, like getting enough sleep, eating well, moving, getting outside, and managing stress. (2:49)
Top Longevity Tip #7 - Dr. CJ Kleene and Dr. Hannah Anderson

Top Longevity Tip #8 - Kylene Terhune
Learn how to change a negative mindset and learn to see the lessons in things that go wrong. (4:13)
Top Longevity Tip #9 - Dr. Stephanie Gray
Unprocessed trauma and stuck emotions in the body may become symptoms and diseases over time or show up as fatigue, anxiety, or depression. That is why you must be honest with yourself and process your emotions. Getting some physical support and trauma coaching from a trusted practitioner can also be helpful for those suffering from betrayal trauma. (4:32)
Top Longevity Tip #10 - Dr. Eric Osansky
We get constantly bombarded with environmental toxins, so it is essential to reduce your toxic load. You can use infrared saunas (be cautious if you have hyperthyroidism), take supplements, eat plenty of cruciferous vegetables and organic food, and use cleaner cosmetics. (5:57)
