How Toxin Exposure Turns Into Chronic Disease with Dr. Thomas Levy
According to the CDC, chronic disease is now the leading cause of death worldwide, taking 41 million lives every year. In the US alone, over 60% of adults have at least one, and over 50% have two or more. Dr. Thomas Levy believes that every single one of those diagnoses points back to the same underlying cause. Dr. Levy is a board-certified cardiologist and attorney who spent 15 years in adult cardiology before he saw something in a dental office that changed the way he thought about disease. He watched severely ill patients recover after being given properly administered vitamin C, went into the published literature to understand why, and found decades of evidence hiding in plain sight. Since then, he has written 13 books on the subject and been inducted into the Orthomolecular Medicine Hall of Fame. Mark and Dr. Levy dig into oxidative stress, the toxin sources most people never think about, and why vitamin C matters more than any other supplement on the shelf.

Your Body Loses 90% of Stem Cells Before the Age of 40, Here's Why - Christian Drapeau
Stem cells are our body's raw materials. You can look at them as your internal repair system. When you're sick or injured, stem cells help you recover as soon as possible. Unfortunately, by the age of 35, most people lose 90% of their stem cells. That's the reason people in their 40s stop bouncing back from injuries the way they used to, and the reason age-related disease shows up when it does. Christian Drapeau has spent 30 years studying that repair system. He's the founder and chief science officer of STEMREGEN, author of five books, and a researcher who has lectured in more than 50 countries. Christian and Mark get into the history of stem cell research and why the embryonic stem cell debate was mostly noise.

Your Thyroid Might Be the Reason You Can't Lose Weight With Dr. Amie Hornaman
Right now, one in five American households has someone on a GLP-1. Sure, Ozempic and Mounjaro have proven effective in the short run. They do help people lose weight. However, the medication might only be treating the symptom while the real problem goes untreated. And for millions of people, that problem is a broken thyroid. The thyroid controls almost everything. Metabolism, energy, mood, digestion, sleep, hair, and how the body handles stress. When it stops working properly, weight starts creeping up, energy drops, hair thins, and the fog rolls in. And yet, when most people ask their doctor about it, they're told their lab results are normal and to keep doing what they're doing. One of the loudest voices calling this out is Dr. Amie Hornaman. She's the founder of the Advanced Thyroid and Hormone Clinic, host of The Thyroid Fixer podcast, and the author of a brand new book called The Thyroid Fix. Amie has spent her career helping women realize that normal and optimal are two very different things. You can buy her book at https://thyroidfixbook.com/ or on Amazon.

The Four Pillars Behind a Cancer Recovery With Rob René
It all started with a small, seemingly harmless mole on his ankle. Like most, Rob René ignored it. Unfortunately, he kept ignoring it for way too long. By the time he had it checked, it had turned into stage III melanoma and spread to his lymphatic system. If you weren't aware, Rob is the founder of Exodus Strong, a former Division 1 runner, and a returning guest on the show. When he was on last, our focus was fatigue and faith. This time, the conversation is even more serious. The melanoma was only the beginning of Rob's journey. He walks Mark through the heart condition that the diagnosis uncovered. Then, the surgery that nearly killed him ended up saving his life. And, most importantly, the four-pillar recovery system he built after coming out the other side. He calls it the Light Code, and it's also the basis of his upcoming book. You can join the wait list at https://lightcodebook.com/.

The Supplement Industry's Dirty Secret with Shawn Wells
The global supplement industry is worth about $200 billion. Some people spend a few hundred dollars a month on their supplements. But the problem is, people are spending their hard-earned money on products that barely do anything. Few people understand that better than Shawn Wells. He's formulated over 1,100 supplements, holds patents on more than 40 novel ingredients, and has spent two decades inside the industry. That's why he's known as the world's greatest formulator. Shawn's the guy other formulators call when they actually want to know what works. That insider knowledge is what makes our conversation so interesting. Shawn breaks down the meaning of proprietary blend, the legal loophole that hides ingredient doses on a label. He explains how private equity quietly hollows out a formula once they invest in a brand, and why the supplements people trusted years ago may not be the same products today.

What Your Oral Hygiene Says About Your Heart Health with Dr. Herb Moskowitz
47% of American adults have periodontal disease and a 20% higher risk of cardiovascular disease because of it. The dental industry has known about this since the 1950s. Their treatment methods haven't changed much since. Dr. Herb Moskowitz is one of the few people in the industry who refused to accept that. He spent 25 years as a clinical dentist, then co-founded IoTech International. Today, he holds the US patent on a stabilized form of molecular iodine that's up to 100 times more effective than what's on shelves. Herb walks through the mouth-body connection that most people never learned about. The bacteria that show up in gum disease also show up in arterial plaque. The mouthwashes most people are using are cosmetic. And the way the dental industry has been treating all of this is decades behind the science.

Why Everyone's Using GLPs Wrong with Dr. Melissa Grill-Petersen
This: One in eight Americans is on a GLP. It's been called the biggest medical breakthrough since penicillin. The drug is now pretty much everywhere. Yet, Dr. Melissa thinks almost everyone is using it wrong. Dr. Melissa Grill-Petersen is the CEO of Peptide University, the founder of Human Longevity Global, and one of the leading voices on peptide therapy and longevity. She's trained thousands of clinicians worldwide, sits on the board of the American Peptide Association, and works with everyone from doctors in the field to advisory boards inside global pharma. Her argument is simple. The drug is not the problem, it's the dosing. Most people are on far more than they need, for far longer than they need to be. The sarcopenia, the hair loss, the blunted pleasure response, even the rising divorce rates, all of it traces back to dosing.
