670. Biohacking Without the Bullshit: The Tools That Improve Sleep, Strength, Recovery & Longevity
Episode 670
Friday, October 2, 2026 • Duration 30:30
What if the best biohacks are actually the simplest ones? In this episode, I’m breaking down the tools I genuinely believe are worth considering, from sleep, strength training, and pain management to cleaner air and water, red light therapy, sauna, and frequency-based technologies.
I also talk about where more advanced options like stem cells, exosomes, and PRP fit in, and the question I use to evaluate any biohacking tool: Does it actually help my body function better, or does it just give me more to track?
What you’ll learn:
Why sleep is the foundation of biohacking
Which simple environmental changes can make a difference
What makes red light therapy worth considering
Why pain relief and mobility deserve more attention
Where sauna and frequency technologies fit
What I think about regenerative therapies
Why strength training may be the ultimate biohack
How to know when a biohack is actually worth it
If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by the endless options, gadgets, and advice in the biohacking world, this episode will help you sort through what’s actually worth your time and attention.

669. The Biohacking Bullshit That Has Gone Too Far
Episode 669
Tuesday, September 29, 2026 • Duration 01:05:27
What happens when biohacking stops being about improving your health and starts costing you money, creating more stress, and taking you away from your actual life? In this episode, I’m calling out the biohacking bullshit that has gone too far, from endless supplements and peptides to CGMs, cold plunges, expensive devices, whole-body MRIs, biological-age testing, and the pressure to constantly optimize another metric. Just because something is expensive, high-tech, or backed by some scientific mechanism doesn’t mean it is actually solving your problem.
I’m not anti-biohacking. I use some of these tools myself. The issue is what happens when we start using the 5% to avoid the 95% that actually matters: sleep, nutrition, movement, muscle, stress, relationships, and addressing underlying physiology. I break down the five questions I want you to ask before spending another dollar on a biohacking intervention and why the ultimate measure of health may have less to do with your readiness score or biological age and more to do with whether you have the energy and freedom to enjoy your life.
What you’ll learn:
The hidden costs of taking biohacking too far
How fear can drive unnecessary health spending
When health tracking starts creating more stress than value
What to consider before spending thousands on peptides, devices, or testing
Why more data doesn't automatically mean better health
How optimization can start interfering with food, family, and everyday life
Why the basics still matter more than the latest biohacking trend
The five questions to ask before trying your next biohack
If you’ve been caught up in the pressure to constantly optimize your health, this conversation will give you a different way to think about what is actually worth your time, money, and attention.

668. We Put T2 to the Test: The Research, Our Results, and the New Thyroid Fixxr
Episode 668
Friday, September 25, 2026 • Duration 26:35
What does the research actually tell us about T2, the often-overlooked thyroid hormone? In this episode, I break down the science behind T2, from animal research on metabolism and fat browning to the limited human studies available, including a 2011 study that found changes in resting metabolic rate and body weight.
I also share the results of our own 14-week trial involving 14 women with different thyroid and hormonal profiles. We look at what happened, what surprised me most, how the findings influenced our dosing approach, and where more research is still needed.
What you’ll learn:
Why researchers are interested in T2 and metabolism
What animal studies have shown about T2 and fat browning
What the limited human research tells us
What happened in our 14-woman trial
Why thyroid function made some of the results particularly interesting
What the findings changed about our dosing approach
What we still need to learn about T2
There’s a lot to be curious about when it comes to T2, but the research matters. Tune in as I walk through what we know, what we’ve seen firsthand, and what still needs to be studied.

667. Why Perimenopause Exposes Everything Your Body Can No Longer Carry
Episode 667
Tuesday, September 22, 2026 • Duration 44:43
Perimenopause can change everything from your energy and sleep to your metabolism, hormones, and libido, but the answer isn’t always another supplement or protocol. In this episode, I’m joined by Bria Gadd, the Period Whisperer, to talk about what’s happening in the body during this transition and why so many women feel like their old strategies suddenly stop working.
We talk about Bria’s “health debt” concept, building the right foundation before adding hormones or peptides, the role of progesterone, nutrition, fasting, strength training, and how to know when it’s time to look deeper. It’s a practical conversation about working with your body instead of constantly trying to push through it.
What you’ll learn:
Why your old strategies may suddenly stop working
The connection between perimenopause and “health debt”
What to prioritize before hormones or peptides
Where progesterone fits into the conversation
Why more exercise isn’t always the answer
How nutrition needs can shift in midlife
When testing can help you stop guessing
If you’re in the middle of perimenopause and wondering why your body suddenly seems to be responding differently, this conversation will help you think about what to address first — and what may not be worth adding yet.

666. Ladies! Biohacking is Dead, Biosyncing is IN. How to Optimize Your Body After 40 with Angela Foster
Episode 666
Friday, September 18, 2026 • Duration 52:17
Ladies, biohacking is out. Biosyncing is in. In this conversation, Angela Foster and I explore what it really means to optimize your body after 40 by working with your biology instead of constantly trying to hack, restrict, or push it harder. We talk about the invisible mental and physical load women carry through perimenopause and menopause, and how stress, changing hormones, metabolism, sleep, and recovery can all intersect.
We also get into the practical side of biosyncing, from protein and carbohydrates to bloating, HRV, exercise, and the wellness trends that may be getting more attention than they deserve. Rather than adding another complicated list of things to optimize, Angela shares how to understand what your body is asking for and focus on the changes that can create the biggest impact.
What you’ll learn:
Why the “invisible load” can have such a significant impact on how women feel in midlife
What changes during perimenopause that can make old weight-loss strategies less effective
How to find your personal “domino” instead of trying to change everything at once
The different factors that can contribute to midlife belly bloating and distension
Why under-fueling and excessive restriction can work against energy, recovery, and metabolism
How HRV can help you understand your capacity for stress and exercise
Why Angela prefers “bio syncing” over constantly trying to hack your biology
Which simple, free tools may be more valuable than another wellness gadget
Tune in for this conversation about working with your body, not constantly fighting it.

665. QUICK FIXES: Stop Ingesting Heavy Metals With Your Iodine
Episode 665
Tuesday, September 15, 2026 • Duration 34:27
Iodine is essential to thyroid function, but the form and quality of the supplement you choose can matter just as much as the iodine itself. In this episode, I break down four common options you may find on the shelf: kelp, Lugol’s, Iodoral, and nascent iodine. I explain the concerns I have with inconsistent dosing, potential heavy metal contamination, fillers, and the difficulty of starting with a low enough dose, as well as why I believe consumers should look beyond labels like “natural” or “organic” and ask for testing of the finished product.
I also address one of the biggest questions surrounding iodine: what about Hashimoto’s?
I explain why I chose nascent iodine for Iodine Fixxr and what I was looking for when comparing different forms, including adjustability and a simple ingredient list. By the end, I give you a practical checklist for evaluating an iodine supplement, from its source and chemical form to finished-product testing and dosing flexibility.
What you’ll learn:
Why the source of an iodine supplement can raise questions beyond simply how much iodine it contains
What makes kelp-based iodine different from purified iodine options
Why a Certificate of Analysis should be for the finished product, not just the raw ingredient
The dosing challenge with Lugol’s and Iodoral, especially when starting low
What distinguishes monoatomic nascent iodine from diatomic iodine
Why iodine discussions involving Hashimoto’s require more nuance than a simple “avoid iodine” rule
How selenium, gradual dosing, and thyroid monitoring fit into the conversation
The questions to ask before choosing an iodine supplement for yourself

664. The ONE Toxin Destroying Your Brain, Thyroid and Gut and That's Directly Causing Cancer - Glyphosate
Episode 664
Friday, September 11, 2026 • Duration 49:04
What do we really know about glyphosate, one of the most widely used chemicals in our environment, and what happens when it gets into the body?
In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Stephanie Seneff, a senior research scientist at MIT, to talk about glyphosate and its potential impact on our health. We discuss what glyphosate may be doing to the gut microbiome, intestinal permeability, inflammation, thyroid function, and the body’s ability to process nutrients. We also explore the connections Dr. Seneff sees between glyphosate exposure and conditions including celiac disease, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and more.
Then we shift to the practical side: How are we exposed, and what can we actually do about it? Dr. Seneff shares her perspective on fermented foods, probiotics, sulfur, organic foods, sunlight, sauna, and deuterium-depleted water, along with the science behind why she believes these things matter.
What you’ll learn:
How glyphosate may affect the gut microbiome
The connection between glyphosate and leaky gut
Why sulfur may be so important to our health
How glyphosate exposure happens even when you don't use Roundup
What glyphosate may have to do with thyroid health
Dr. Seneff’s approach to reducing exposure
Why fermented foods and probiotics matter
What deuterium has to do with all of this
If you’re interested in understanding the environmental factors that may be affecting our health, I highly recommend hitting play on this episode.

663. Medication Truths: What Your Pharmacist Sees That Your Doctor Doesn't
Episode 663
Tuesday, September 8, 2026 • Duration 53:53
What if the biggest problem with your health isn’t a lack of medication, but a lack of answers? In this episode, I’m joined by compounding pharmacist Shawn Needham for a candid conversation about medications, hormones, weight loss, and the healthcare system. We talk about GLP-1s, thyroid treatment, natural desiccated thyroid, and why Shawn believes the basics of sleep, diet, and exercise matter more than any “magic” drug.
We also talk about supplements, lab testing, statins, cholesterol, and what Shawn has learned from running a pharmacy outside the traditional insurance model. It’s a conversation about asking better questions, understanding your options, and becoming more informed about your own healthcare.
What you’ll learn:
Why Shawn puts sleep, diet, and exercise first
His concerns about GLP-1 medications
What you should know about T4 vs. T3
Why thyroid treatment may need to be personalized
Where supplements and testing can go too far
What pharmacists see that doctors may not
Shawn’s biggest healthcare myth
If you’ve ever felt frustrated by a “normal” lab result, questioned whether your medication is actually addressing the root of the problem, or wondered if there’s a better way to approach your health, you’ll want to tune into this episode.

What happens to estrogen after your body has used it, and why does proper metabolism and elimination matter? In this bonus episode, I sit down with David Roberts and molecular biologist Dr. John Gildea to discuss estrogen metabolism, sulforaphane, inflammation, detoxification pathways, and the research connecting these processes to cancer and overall health.
We also talk about environmental estrogens, endocrine disruptors, microplastics, and what we can realistically do to support the body's natural detoxification systems. Along the way, David shares what led him to study sulforaphane after his wife's cancer diagnosis and what their research has found about its potential effects on cancer cells.
What you’ll learn:
How your body metabolizes and eliminates estrogen
Why Nrf2 and NF-kappa B matter
What sulforaphane may do in the body
The connection between inflammation and detoxification
What we know about sulforaphane and cancer research
How microplastics and xenoestrogens affect the conversation
Why lifestyle still matters alongside supplements

662. Thyroid Nodules and Goiters: When to Watch, When to Act, and What May Help
Episode 662
Friday, September 4, 2026 • Duration 29:53
A thyroid nodule may be small, but being told to simply “watch it” can leave you with a lot of unanswered questions. In this episode, I’m taking a closer look at thyroid nodules and goiters, what they actually are, why they develop, and why a normal TSH does not necessarily tell us the whole story. I break down the difference between thyroid function and thyroid structure, when an ultrasound may be appropriate, what symptoms and risk factors deserve closer attention, and why not every nodule automatically means cancer, a biopsy, or surgery.
What you’ll learn:
Why a “normal” thyroid result may not answer the question you actually need answered
The important distinction between a thyroid nodule and a goiter
Which signs can turn a seemingly harmless finding into something worth investigating
What your ultrasound can reveal that bloodwork simply cannot
The surprising factors that may influence thyroid tissue growth
Why some nodules behave very differently from others
What goes into deciding whether a biopsy is actually necessary
The bigger question you should be asking after you hear the word “benign”
If you’ve been told you have a thyroid nodule or goiter, or you’ve been left wondering why your thyroid is changing when your labs look “normal,” I want you to listen to this episode before you simply accept “watch and wait” as the end of the conversation.
