5 Ways to Increase Your Healthspan - E76

Épisode 76

lundi 8 décembre 2025 • Durée 18:16

Mindfulness and meditation can not only decrease stress and anxiety, but can even alter the perception of pain. With the right type and amount of practice, you can train your brain to respond to situations thoughtfully, instead of purely with emotion.

But this is just one way in which you can increase and improve your healthspan - allowing you to live a longer and healthier life. There are many more.

Closing this gap between how long we live and how long we thrive can feel overwhelming, especially with endless advice promising quick fixes but delivering little real change.

This episode is the third in a micro series diving into what healthspan actually means. Join me to learn about the fundamental five pillars of healthspan. You’ll learn how simple, daily actions - not expensive hacks or brutal overhauls - build resilience and fight aging at its roots.

In this episode you will learn:

Why healthspan matters and how it differs from lifespan.
The five key pillars for living longer and stronger: nutrition, fitness, mindset, sleep, and social connection.
How daily habits and small steady changes create lasting health results.
What whole foods, meal timing, and proven diet frameworks do for your body.
Simple ways to add exercise, stress management, and sleep habits to your day.
Why strong social ties and community support help boost both health and happiness.

No gimmicks, just practical, proven methods for unlocking deep healing and genuine connection, all told by someone who learned these tools firsthand.

“The trauma wasn't the event, it's the wound you sustained from the event.” - Rachel Bach

What somatic work is and why it matters for health and healing.

How I Cured Cancer in 30 Days with Samuel Shepherd - E74

Épisode 74

lundi 24 novembre 2025 • Durée 01:01:28

Being told you have terminal cancer - and that there are no treatments left - is a scenario no one expects to face.

Despite medical progress, chronic inflammation and age-related disease still cut lives short, while most options only manage symptoms. Many of us try things like diet and exercise, yet the core causes of illness often go unchecked, leaving lasting health out of reach.

In this episode, we speak with someone who cured his own cancer in just 30 days, by using his knowledge and experience as a scientist, and by tapping into the body's ability to heal itself from inflammation. You'll learn the links between free radicals and chronic inflammation, and how you can use astaxanthin to help slow down - and possibly even prevent - age-related inflammatory diseases.

Samuel Shepherd is an award-winning physicist, inventor, and engineer. His career has taken him from developing technologies for NASA and the Beijing Olympics to pioneering solutions in alternative energy and environmental remediation. But it was a deeply personal health challenge that led him to his most life-changing discovery. Today, Samuel is on a mission to educate others about how inflammation accelerates disease and diminishes quality of life, and how targeted natural solutions can restore health. Beyond his formidable credentials, his personal story of overcoming terminal illness fuels his passion for helping others age with strength, energy, and resilience.

“And if you're no longer afraid of dying, what other is there to fear?” - Samuel Shepherd

In this episode you will learn:

How Samuel survived a terminal cancer diagnosis using a compound found in algae.
The link between free radicals, chronic inflammation, and common diseases like diabetes and heart disease.
How NASA’s standards for astronaut safety shape space travel, and why Mars missions remain risky for human health.

How Wellness Completely Transforms Conferences with David T Stevens - E73

Épisode 73

lundi 17 novembre 2025 • Durée 32:48

You leave most conferences feeling exhausted, fried by information overload, and too drained to apply a single thing you learned. Fast schedules, poor sleep, junk food, endless sitting, and forced networking can turn even the best events into a slog, destroying focus, energy, and motivation for days afterward.

But what if the structure of these gatherings could actually boost your health, help you remember more, and leave you energized? This episode unpacks how simple shifts in environment and programming, built on real-world science and tested by an “Olympian” in event planning, can transform not just your conference experience, but your return on both health and learning.

David T. Stevens is a Harvard-certified Lifestyle Medicine & Wellness Coach, disrupting the meetings and hospitality industry through wellness-centered event strategy. As co-founder of Olympian Meeting and Club Ichi, he combines two decades of experiential design with science-backed wellness and sustainability. David helps top brands create gatherings that go beyond the ballroom, infusing purpose, social connection, and measurable well-being into every experience.

“You leave tired, you leave your inbox and you are both terribly inflamed, you're sleep deprived… your life is a mess when you leave a conference.” - David T Stevens

In this episode you will learn:

Why most conferences leave people tired, inflamed, and sleep deprived, and how events can do better.
How movement, good food options, and mindful schedules can help attendees learn, connect, and feel energized.
Why programming for natural rhythms and offering agency in choices makes events more effective and inclusive.
The impact of group movement on belonging, learning, and social connection at corporate events.
How journaling and closing open loops helps transfer learning to long-term memory and encourages better sleep.
Why holistic wellness, including movement, meals, meaning, and mindfulness, boosts business results and attendee well-being.

Chronic illness, lost independence, and emotional strain can turn our extra years into burdens instead of blessings. The gap between living long and living well is bigger in the US than anywhere else, leaving millions feeling stuck in bodies that survive but don’t thrive.

What the longevity paradox is and how it affects quality of life in America.
How medical progress has helped people live longer but not always healthier lives.
Why chronic diseases cause most of the years spent in poor health.

The Surprising Truth About Drinking in Moderation with Laura Elorza - E71

Épisode 71

lundi 3 novembre 2025 • Durée 37:56

You want to cut back on drinking, but everywhere you turn - dinners, celebrations, even quiet nights at home - society pushes alcohol as the shortcut to fun and relaxation. Yet, you know those extra glasses leave you foggy, drained, and maybe even stuck in a shame spiral that saps your energy for days.

Breaking this cycle isn’t just about willpower or strict rules. The real challenge is rewiring your habits and making conscious choices that actually fit your goals and lifestyle. That’s tough when social pressure, outdated routines, and internal critics get in the way.

In this episode, we explore how small but powerful shifts in awareness, boundaries, and daily routines can help you regain control - whether your aim is moderation or cutting out alcohol entirely. Instead of vague promises and overnight solutions, we get real strategies from someone who’s helped countless others navigate the same process.

Laura Elorza is a clinical psychologist known for her work in conscious habit formation and moderation, particularly in the realm of alcohol use and wellness. She collaborates with Unconscious Moderation, an app focused on combining hypnotherapy, movement, and journaling to foster sustainable behavioral change. Laura's practice centers on helping individuals navigate social pressures, internal criticism, and mindfulness, offering tools for personal growth rooted in practical self-inquiry and daily routines. Her clients include people seeking healthier relationships with alcohol and those interested in holistic health strategies designed for everyday life.

“I've seen that I've started to drink a little bit more because I associate being more relaxed and more confident with drinking.” - Laura Elorza

In this episode you will learn:

Why effort is not the same as suffering, and how small steps drive healthy change.

Do This To Slow Aging Naturally with Dr. Dan Pardi - E70

Épisode 70

lundi 27 octobre 2025 • Durée 43:08

Most people are aging faster than they need to, simply because their daily habits are out of sync with how the human body is designed to thrive. Modern routines - poor sleep, processed foods, constant sitting - speed up damage and make it harder to stay healthy as the years pass.

This episode reveals how slowing aging comes down to practical changes anyone can make, starting with getting back to the basics of movement, nutrition, sleep, and sunlight. We break down why small, consistent shifts in your pattern of living don’t just prevent disease - they actually help you maintain vitality and slow the aging process itself.

He holds a PhD in Cognitive Neuroscience from Leiden University and Stanford, and speaks regularly at events like TEDx, VC Firms, and the Institute for Human Machine Cognition.

In this episode you will learn:

Why health is not a fixed target, and the value of updating your habits as new research appears.
The difference between treating sickness and actively building health, and why both matter.

Most of us know the pain of setting health goals, slipping into overwhelm, and fizzling out before habits ever stick. The real challenge isn’t finding the next fitness plan or diet; it’s overcoming self-doubt, perfectionism, and that critical moment when old identity wins over new routines.

This episode breaks down how lasting change starts with mindset, self-compassion, and small, practical steps, guided by someone who completely transformed her life by taking on one hard thing at a time.

In this episode you will learn:

Why building new health habits works best by starting with one small change at a time.

Healthspan: What It Is and Why You Should Care - E68

Épisode 68

lundi 13 octobre 2025 • Durée 13:32

What is healthspan?

You may have heard the word, but what does it actually mean?

Living longer isn’t the real challenge - it's spending those extra years feeling strong, clear-minded, and truly alive.

Most of us chase the number on the calendar, counting birthdays and hoping for longevity. But we rarely stop to ask how many of those years are spent fighting chronic illness, running low on energy, and losing out on what makes life enjoyable. The line between “lifespan” and “healthspan” is the difference between simply surviving and thriving.

This episode is the first of a micro series diving into what healthspan actually means. Join me to learn why it’s becoming urgent, and what steps can help you add vitality - not just years - to your life.

In this episode you will learn:

The clear difference between lifespan and healthspan, using simple road and car analogies.
Why healthspan matters more than just living longer, and how it relates to real life quality.
The history and growing scientific focus on healthspan, with roots going back to the 1980s.
How biological age shows the true state of your health, beyond just the number of birthdays.
The major health gap in the US, where many live long but much of that time is unhealthy.
Why focusing on healthspan is not a trend, but a shift toward adding energy and clarity to daily life.
