57. The Future of Personalized Medicine: Genetics, Biomarkers & Longevity| LIVE with Dr. Anil Bajnath at Mindshare
I sat down LIVE at Mindshare with Dr. Anil Bajnath to talk about where medicine is headed next: precision medicine, advanced biomarkers, genetics, chronic illness, longevity, and regenerative health. Dr. Bajnath is a family physician with additional training in anti-aging, regenerative, functional, and precision medicine. He founded the Institute for Human Optimization and the American Board of Precision Medicine, and his approach is built around connecting what he calls the molecular dots—from your genome to your phenotype—to understand what is actually driving an individual's health. In this conversation, we get into why two people can be exposed to the same environment and respond completely differently, how genetics and environmental exposures can interact, and why advanced testing can reveal patterns that standard labs may miss. We also talk about: Whole genome sequencing and individualized risk Chronic inflammatory response syndrome and complex illness Mold, Lyme, viral illness, and environmental exposures Detoxification pathways and pharmacogenomics Advanced biomarker testing Alzheimer's and neurodegenerative disease Therapeutic plasma exchange Hyperbaric oxygen and photobiomodulation Environmental toxicants and microplastics Ozone therapies Regenerative medicine, stem cells, and exosomes Why I like Dr. Bajnath's philosophy of letting the data drive the treatment, rather than chasing whatever health trend happens to be popular One of my favorite concepts from this conversation is his approach to P4 medicine: personalized, predictive, preventative, and participatory. This is what the future of individualized health care looks like to me: understanding the person in front of you first, then choosing the intervention.

56. The Overlooked Hormone Behind Fasting Blood Sugar | Glucagon, Cortisol & Mitochondria (Part 3)
Why is your fasting blood sugar high even when you're eating clean, training consistently, cutting sugar, or even following a low-carb diet? That's what I'm breaking down in Part 3 of this series. I've dealt with this myself. There was a period where I was eating low carb, doing intermittent fasting, training fasted, and still waking up with fasting glucose in the 90s and sometimes higher. At first glance, that doesn't make much sense. But once I started looking deeper into glucagon, cortisol, adrenaline, liver glucose production, and what happens when your cells aren't producing enough ATP, the picture changed. Your fasting blood sugar isn't just about what you ate the night before. Your liver is making glucose all night long, and hormones like glucagon, cortisol, and adrenaline help control how much gets released into the bloodstream. In this episode, I break down: Why low ATP can create a stress response How adrenaline raises blood sugar and free fatty acids How cortisol can keep gluconeogenesis running Why glucagon may be one of the most overlooked hormones in metabolic health How insulin and glucagon are supposed to regulate each other Why fasting glucose can stay elevated even on a low-carb diet How the Randle cycle can interfere with glucose oxidation Why simply cutting more carbs may lower the number without fixing the underlying issue The labs I look at beyond fasting glucose alone This connects directly back to Parts 1 and 2, where I explained how mitochondrial dysfunction can reduce ATP production even when enough calories are coming in. When that energy deficit keeps happening, your body responds like there's an emergency. And over time, that hormonal response can start showing up in your labs. If you haven't watched the first two episodes yet, go back and start there. It'll make this one much easier to follow. In Part 4, I'm going to zoom out and show how this same underlying metabolic dysfunction can show up as several different problems across the body.

55. Your Vision Is Trainable: How to Improve Eyesight, Focus & Brain Performance | Dr. Bryce Appelbaum
What if declining vision, eye strain, headaches, brain fog, and difficulty focusing weren't simply things you had to accept as you get older? In this episode of Healthy AF, Zane Griggs sits down with neuro-optometrist Dr. Bryce Appelbaum to explore the connection between your eyes and your brain—and why he believes vision should be trained just like the rest of your body. Dr. Appelbaum explains the important difference between eyesight and vision, how hours of daily screen time can place the visual system under stress, and why functional vision problems can sometimes produce symptoms that overlap with problems involving attention, reading, and learning. They also dive into vision after 40, reading glasses, screen-related eye strain, concussion recovery, and how Dr. Appelbaum works with professional and Olympic-level athletes to improve visual processing, peripheral awareness, reaction time, depth perception, and performance. Plus, Dr. Appelbaum walks Zane through a simple "eye push-up" exercise designed to train the focusing system and shares the 20-20-20 rule you can start using during screen-heavy days. In this episode: Eyesight vs. vision: why they're not the same thing How screen time affects the eye-brain connection Vision, attention, reading, and focus Why your distance vision may change with heavy near work The 20-20-20 rule for screen breaks Vision training for professional athletes Vision changes after concussion and head injuries Why vision matters for balance and fall prevention as we age What happens to near vision after 40 How to perform Dr. Appelbaum's eye push-ups Reading glasses and the focusing system Digital performance lenses and screen stress How to start training your vision Connect with Zane Griggs: 🧠 Free Plan: free40plan.com 📲 Instagram: @zanegriggsfitness 🌐 Website: zanegriggs.com Guest Links: ScreenFit: ScreenFit.com — use code ZANE for $200 off / 40% off My Vision First: MyVisionFirst.com Digital Performance Lenses: use code ZANE for 10% off https://myvisionfirst.com 0:00 Meet Dr. Bryce Appelbaum 1:42 Vision Problems, ADHD & Dyslexia Symptoms 2:33 Eyesight vs. Vision: What's the Difference? 3:45 Why Your Eyesight May Change With Screen Time 5:48 Can You Actually Exercise Your Vision? 6:41 What Screens Are Doing to Your Visual System 8:39 The Problem With 7+ Hours of Screen Time 10:55 How Vision Can Affect Your Stress Response 12:29 Adding "Vision Snacks" to Your Day 13:43 The 20-20-20 Rule 16:19 ScreenFit & Vision Performance Training 17:34 How Elite Athletes Train Their Vision 20:34 Concussions, Head Injuries & Vision 23:47 How Vision Training Changed an MLB Player's Performance 25:09 Does Vision Have to Decline With Age? 43:58 Why Reading Gets Harder After 40 45:53 How to Do Eye Push-Ups 50:02 The Problem With Monovision 52:26 Vision Training for Longevity 53:21 ScreenFit + Special Offer 55:02 Digital Performance Lenses 58:44 Where to Find Dr. Bryce

54. Why Am I Always Hungry? The Mitochondrial Connection to Hunger, Cravings & Seed Oils Part 2 VIDEO
You just ate a full meal. You consumed enough calories. So why are you hungry again 45 minutes later? Or maybe it's 3 PM—you've eaten plenty, but you're running on fumes, struggling to focus, and craving something sweet or starchy. Most people blame willpower, blood sugar, or a lack of protein. In Part 2 of Zane Griggs' series on seed oils and mitochondrial health, he explores a different possibility: what if the problem isn't how much energy you're eating, but how efficiently your cells are converting that food into ATP? In this episode, Zane breaks down the difference between food energy and cellular energy, how your mitochondria convert calories into ATP, and why inefficient energy production may contribute to hunger, cravings, fatigue, brain fog, poor recovery, and stubborn body composition. He also continues the mitochondrial story from Episode 1, exploring how PUFA-rich mitochondrial membranes may contribute to proton leak and cardiolipin damage, how lipid oxidation products such as 4-HNE and MDA can interact with mitochondrial DNA, and why these processes may become increasingly relevant as we age. Zane also explains what these issues can look like in everyday life: feeling unsatisfied after meals, afternoon cravings, energy crashes, poor exercise recovery, and body composition that doesn't seem to respond proportionately to your diet and training. This is Part 2 of the Healthy AF series examining seed oils, mitochondrial function, and metabolic health.

53. What Happens to Seed Oils After You Eat Them?
What actually happens to seed oils once they enter your body? In this first episode of a new Healthy AF series, Zane Griggs breaks down the metabolic chain reaction he argues can begin when dietary polyunsaturated fats become incorporated into the membranes of your mitochondria. Your mitochondria produce the ATP that powers your cells—but the fats you eat can become part of the physical structure of the mitochondrial membrane. Zane explores research around membrane composition, polyunsaturated fats, oxidative vulnerability, proton leak, mitochondrial uncoupling, and cardiolipin. You'll learn why Zane believes the conversation around seed oils needs to go much deeper than calories or inflammation—and why mitochondrial health may be an important piece of understanding metabolic health, energy production, and longevity. Zane also discusses research suggesting mitochondrial membrane composition can change in response to dietary fat composition, meaning what your mitochondria are built from isn't necessarily fixed. This is Part 1 of Zane's deep dive into seed oils, mitochondria, and metabolic health. In the next episode, he'll explore how this chain of events may connect to hunger and why you can feel hungry even when you're consuming plenty of food.

52. The Truth About Alcohol Nobody Wants to Hear | Sam Lander
Can you be Healthy AF if you still drink alcohol? In this episode of Healthy AF (Healthy After 50), I sit down with functional diagnostic nutritionist, peptide educator, and My Peptide University faculty member Sam Lander for one of the most honest conversations we've had on the podcast. Sam opens up about her incredible journey—from addiction, prison, and rebuilding her life—to becoming one of the most respected educators in functional medicine and peptide therapy. We dive into why so many people are doing everything "right" but still don't feel well, how functional lab testing uncovers hidden problems, and why alcohol may be the single biggest obstacle standing between you and optimal health. If you're focused on building muscle after 40, increasing energy, improving your gut, optimizing hormones, or extending your healthspan, this is an episode you don't want to miss. In this episode we discuss: • Sam's journey from addiction and prison to functional medicine • Why functional lab testing changes everything • The hidden connection between gut health and chronic symptoms • Why peptides require individualized protocols • The truth about "mommy wine culture" • How alcohol affects metabolism, inflammation and longevity • Why quitting alcohol is the biggest health hack most people ignore • Building resilience physically and mentally • Creating lasting health after 40 Connect with Sam Lander https://seefitliving.com https://www.instagram.com/seefitliving 0:00 Introduction: Meet functional diagnostic nutritionist Sam Lander 1:25 What functional diagnostic nutrition really is 2:05 Sam's childhood health struggles 3:20 Addiction begins at a young age 6:10 Prison, rock bottom, and rebuilding her life 10:45 Becoming a personal trainer after prison 15:30 Why doing "everything right" still wasn't enough 16:40 Discovering functional medicine through gut health 18:00 Why alcohol is the biggest health hack people ignore 22:30 The truth about mommy wine culture 27:40 How alcohol affects hormones, weight loss, and longevity 33:15 Peptides: why certification and protocols matter 38:20 Creating personalized health strategies instead of one-size-fits-all advice 43:10 Recovery, resilience, and building a healthier future 48:10 Final thoughts and where to connect with Sam

51. The Seed Oil Studies Are Measuring the Wrong Thing
A new seed oil study may look reassuring at first glance — but what did it actually measure? In this episode, Zane Griggs breaks down a 2025 review of clinical studies on seed oils and explains why short-term improvements in blood markers do not necessarily tell us what is happening inside the mitochondria. You'll learn why the real concern is not only what shows up in a blood draw, but what happens when polyunsaturated fats become incorporated into mitochondrial membranes over time. Zane walks through: what the seed oil review actually found why flaxseed and sesame oil are not the same as soybean or corn oil the difference between blood markers and mitochondrial damage cardiolipin, ATP production, and oxidative stress why 4-HNE and other aldehydes matter how cooking oils change when heated why stored linoleic acid can remain in the body for years why a short-term study may miss a long-term mitochondrial problem how soybean oil consumption has changed over the last century why stable fats may matter more than most people realize Studies: Laurindo et al.

50. Your Body Is Stuck Burning Fat — And It's Making You Sick (Part 2)
What happens when your body gets stuck burning fat and can't switch back to glucose? In Part 2, Zane breaks down metabolic inflexibility and explains why being locked into fat-dominant metabolism is not the same as being metabolically healthy. You'll learn how this pattern affects the muscle, heart, and liver — and how elevated fatty acids can impair glucose oxidation, disrupt insulin signaling, and contribute to insulin resistance, fatty liver disease, and heart failure.
