The Beyond Tomorrow Podcast with Julian Issa – Details, episodes & analysis

Brian Kennedy is one of the leading longevity researchers with 35 years of experience.

Aging is not something to fear it is something to optimize. Yet most of us are stuck in a reactive "sick care" system instead of a proactive "health care" approach. So how do we take control of our health and extend our lifespan and healthspan?

Expect to learn why the biggest barriers to preventative health are not what you think, how the growing interest in longevity is reshaping medicine, the key lifestyle shifts that make the biggest impact, how to navigate supplements and stem cell therapies, the dangers of hype versus real science, and the most important tools to measure and improve your health starting today.

Tina Woods is a longevity strategist, systems thinker, and pioneer of the Human Exposome Project, a bold scientific and societal initiative redefining health as a collective endeavor. Pete Ward is a serial tech entrepreneur & co-founder of Humanity, a healthtech company using AI to help people extend their healthspan at scale. Together, they bring a powerful dual lens to the future of human health: systems change and individual action.

Michele Costa is a transpersonal psychotherapist and shamanic practitioner, and Ruben Orellana is the former head archaeologist at Machu Picchu, an anthropologist and a revered curandero with over 48 years of experience working with sacred plant medicines like San Pedro and Ayahuasca. Together, they bring a rare blend of Indigenous wisdom and Western training to help people heal, emotionally, spiritually, and physically.

In this illuminating and soul-stirring episode, we journey through the ancient world of plant medicine, where healing is not about fixing symptoms but remembering who we truly are. Michele and Ruben share stories of transformation, initiation, and the vital role of play, presence, and ritual in our healing journeys.

Expect to learn:

- How vibrational medicine helps us release what is held in the body.

- How plant medicines like Ayahuasca and San Pedro work not only on the mind, but on the liver, the heart, and deep ancestral wounds.

- Why laughter, play, and connecting with nature are some of the most potent medicines we have.

- How colonial influence and, more recently, an increasing Western appetite has distorted plant medicine traditions and why restoring reverence is crucial for their survival.

- The difference between working with psychedelics and true entheogens, and why intention and ceremony matter.

- Why consciousness is the medicine of the future and how crises may be the catalyst that finally brings us home to ourselves.
