23/08/2025 Duration: 01h42minIn this episode, Dr. Mike T. Nelson pulls back the curtain on some common keto myths, including how it’s connected to fat loss, athletic performance, and even ancestral eating patterns.

In this myth-busting conversation, you'll discover why the high-fat-eating Inuit peoples probably weren't in ketosis, how keto can slash your power output by up to 8%, and why metabolic flexibility—not extreme diets—is the real key to optimal health.

Dr. Scott Sherr: Methylene Blue, GABA, and the Hidden Link Between Mitochondria and Stress
26/07/2025 Duration: 58minYour mitochondria and responses to stress are more connected than you think. In this episode, Dr. Scott Sherr is back to tell us about why 94% of US adults have mitochondrial dysfunction and how chronic stress and inflammation deplete GABA, your brain's primary calming neurotransmitter. We also discuss why methylene blue has exploded from an obscure mitochondrial enhancer to a controversial biohacking trend, how GABA deficiency masquerades as anxiety and depression, and why healing requires shifting from sympathetic dominance to parasympathetic activation. Dr. Sherr shares his 20 years of clinical experience, demonstrating that within 30 seconds to 2 minutes, he can determine if someone can heal; it all comes down to the state of their nervous system.

A Detailed Practical Guide to Dosing Red and Near-Infrared Light Therapy with Dr. Mark Cronshaw
10/05/2025 Duration: 02h17minI’m back again for my fourth conversation with Dr. Mark Cronshaw, an expert in the world of photobiomodulation (PBM), aka red light therapy. You know that when I have multiple conversations with a guest, I highly value their knowledge and want to go deeper with what they have to share. If you want to get VERY technical and go deep with the topic of PBM, this episode is for you, and I recommend you listen to the prior 3 episodes we’ve recorded together. In this conversation, Dr. Cronshaw presents what he calls his "philosophy of care" for using photobiomodulation to enhance healing, manage pain, and prevent injury. His approach focuses on a few fundamental questions: Are you treating surface or deep tissues? Are you seeking to stimulate healing/tissue repair or provide pain relief? His multi-dimensional approach explains why different devices produce different results, enabling more strategic use of both professional and at-home light therapy tools.

Beyond Red Light: Dr. Cronshaw's Revolutionary Approach to PBM Therapy
26/04/2025 Duration: 01h07minIn this episode, I’m back for a third installment of my conversation with Dr. Mark Cronshaw, one of the world’s foremost photobiomodulation (PBM) experts...what most people commonly refer to as red light therapy. He’s particularly one of the top experts when it comes to dosimetry (the details of how to properly “dose” light therapy). Have you invested in red light therapy but feel confused by contradicting information? You're certainly not alone. In this conversation, Dr. Cronshaw challenges conventional wisdom about photobiomodulation with some insights that surprised even me! I deeply appreciate his highly informed and logical, yet relaxed, approach to this complex topic. WARNING: My conversations with Dr. Cronshaw are NOT a simple or practical how-to guide of “go buy this device and use it this way.” This podcast series intends to go deep into the scientific, technical, and theoretical nuances of PBM science. So it’s NOT for everyone. These podcasts are for people who want to nerd out on PBM science. So p

If you have a body, you’re an athlete.” At the core of his approach is that modulating the nervous system holds the key to unlocking extraordinary performance and healing.

It’s a continuation of going very deep into the scientific, technical, and even theoretical nuances of PBM based on Dr. Cronshaw’s vast research and clinical understanding of the topic. Be prepared for lots of nerdy PBM science, along with a few practical pearls as our discussion unfolds. Please listen to part 1 if you haven’t already, and leave any questions you have in the comments on YouTube…we’ll do our best to answer questions in future episodes.

22/02/2025 Duration: 01h14minIn this episode, I’m speaking with Dr. Mark Cronshaw, a highly respected expert in the field of photobiomodulation (PBM) – what most people commonly think of as red light therapy. This is the first of many podcasts with Dr. Cronshaw, who is one of the most brilliant and knowledgeable experts I’ve had the pleasure of connecting with on this topic. Our conversation goes deep into the science of photobiomodulation—there are some practical pearls that Dr. Cronshaw discusses, but be prepared for deep, nuanced, and technical scientific discussion about light therapy. WARNING: Please be aware that this conversation with Dr. Cronshaw is NOT just a simple practical how-to guide of “go buy this device and use it this way.” This is a podcast series that intends to go deep into the scientific, technical, and theoretical nuances of PBM science. So it’s NOT for everyone. If you just want a simple practical how-to guide, we will eventually get there, but there are several hours of geeky technical science stuff before we ge

Influenced to death by your favorite social media star? With Victoria LaFont
01/02/2025 Duration: 01h21minIn this episode, I’m back with Victoria LaFont, co-host of the Influenced to Death podcast. Be sure to listen to part 1 of our conversation if you haven’t already. In each episode of Influenced to Death, Victoria and her co-host, Hannah Wright, draw on their graduate-level education in nutrition and functional medicine. But they’re very upfront about their own biases and dive deep into the research to provide a more balanced view on controversial topics, particularly ones that have been portrayed in a one-sided way. Today, Victoria and I discuss specific topics they’ve covered, such as The Medical Medium, seed oils, the carnivore diet, the ketogenic diet, and, believe it or not, breatharianism! I hope you enjoy the second part of our discussion! Be sure to follow Influenced to Death to get more insight into all the topics they cover.

Are you being influenced to death? With Victoria LaFont
25/01/2025 Duration: 01h30minIn this episode, I’m speaking with Victoria LaFont, co-host of the Influenced to Death podcast, owner of The LaFont Agency, and someone I’ve been working with for a few years now and consider a friend and trusted peer. It might seem strange that I’m recording a two-part podcast about another podcast, but the reason is very clear in my mind: There are many highly controversial topics in health science, and many experts cherry-pick and distort the evidence. Influenced to Death is a podcast specifically about taking on these controversial topics and trying to systematically bring greater clarity to them, in a balanced, evidence-based way. Plus, it does so in a way that’s entertaining and actually fun to listen to. I know you’ll enjoy my conversation with Victoria, and I highly encourage you to listen to Influenced to Death, as well, to get a new perspective on some of the most controversial topics in natural health and functional medicine.
