    Peptide Therapy: Healing, Longevity, and GLP-1s with Dr. Aleksandra Gajer

    What if the goal isn't just living longer, but feeling vital the whole way through? Peptides have jumped from the fringe to the mainstream, and most of what you'll find online comes from dubiously credentialed sources. In this episode, Jeff sits down with Dr. Aleksandra Gajer, an emergency medicine physician who spent a decade in the ER before founding The Gajer Practice and moving into longevity and regenerative medicine. They unpack what peptides really are and how to think clearly about a fast-moving, lightly regulated space. The conversation covers: What peptides actually are, and why insulin and GLP-1s belong to the same family BPC-157 and TB-500 for healing tendons, ligaments, and stubborn injuries Growth hormone-promoting peptides like sermorelin and tesamorelin for muscle and body composition The gray market, compounding pharmacies, and the FDA's shifting rules Cancer risks, contraindications, and who should be cautious This episode is for anyone curious about peptide therapy, longevity, and healing who wants grounded information instead of internet hype. For a free intro consultation with The Gajer Practice go to https://thegajerpractice.as.me/free-intro-tgp-jeff. The practice offers telemedicine consultations nationwide, plus a course for clinicians who want to integrate peptides into their work (found in the About section of the site).

    A Little Wave Washes Ashore: Ondine, aka Lolli (Dispatch 2)

    When the contractions were two minutes apart, Jeff's phone chirped out the opening riff of Ice Ice Baby. That was the ringtone for Kara, the midwife. He picked up and she said, "Are you sitting down?" She wasn't coming. This week, Jeff tells the birth story of his second daughter, Ondine, aka Lolli — born in a Brooklyn basement that wasn't exactly Gatsby. When the model-turned-midwife got swept up in a home birth documentary and the backup landed two hours north on I-87, Jeff took off his clothes, got in the tub, and resolved to deliver his own baby — until Miriam walked through the door in the bottom of the ninth and caught their little wave with her bare hands. Schuyler joins him to unpack it all: the glam East Village midwife, the bagels, the old wives' tale that you only ever get two out of three (easy pregnancy, easy labor, easy baby), and what an emergency reveals about who you actually are. This is the second episode of Diaries of a Dance Dad, an audio memoir series in Jeff's own words. It spans the full arc of parenthood: the inhale of birth and early chaos, the grind of no sleep and travel with kids, the gut-punches of failure, and the slow exhale of letting go.

    We have godlike technology running on brains that haven't had an upgrade in millions of years.

    Phoebe, Once Nadia: My Introduction to Fatherhood & Home Birth (Dispatch 1)

    Jeff Krasno didn't expect to become a home birth convert. When his wife Schuyler handed him a pregnancy test on Christmas morning 2003, everything changed. In this episode, Jeff shares the birth story of their eldest daughter, tracing the unlikely path from a cramped Manhattan seminar with midwifery legend Ina May Gaskin to a blustery August delivery at the old family cottage in Fenwick, Connecticut, and the two weeks it took to finally name her. This is the first episode of Diaries of a Dance Dad, an audio memoir series in Jeff's own words. It spans the full arc of parenthood: the inhale of birth and early chaos, the grind of no sleep and travel with kids, the gut-punches of failure, and the slow exhale of letting go.

    Introducing Diaries of a Dance Dad: Life Lessons From the Clutter of Parenthood

    Parenthood can feel like a never-ending carpool. But every so often, buried somewhere in the immense haystack of putrid adolescent laundry, you step on a spiritual needle… and experience a satori. Diaries of a Dance Dad is a podcast about raising three daughters, Jeff Krasno's beloved estrogen footprint. These essays are harrowing and hilarious in equal measure. They will make you laugh. They will make you cry. And they will remind you that the mundane is, in fact, miraculous. Each week, Jeff reads directly from his collection stories excavated from the deepest rough, polished into something worth carrying. Fatherhood, marriage, the slow surrender of control, the shock of being loved - all of it lives here. Jeff Krasno is the co-founder of Commune and host of the Commune podcast. He lives in Los Angeles with his wife Schuyler and three daughters who do not listen to him but never fail to imitate him.

    Menopause, Hormones, and Spiritual Healing with Gabby Bernstein

    Gabby Bernstein, #1 New York Times bestselling author and spiritual teacher, spent years in perimenopause without ever naming it, until menopause hit at 44 and she came out the other side in what she calls a kind of resurrection. In this episode, she and Jeff trace that path: the unraveling, the hormones, the strength training, and the spiritual reckoning underneath all of it. They get specific about the physical and the spiritual at once: hormones, muscle, and the inner work that made the rest possible. Perimenopause symptoms that often go unrecognized in your 30s and 40s Hormone optimization, HRT, and microdosing testosterone for women Strength training, protein, and protecting muscle as you age Internal Family Systems and healing core wounds through transition This episode is for anyone navigating menopause, rethinking women's hormone health, or looking for a grounded spiritual practice to move through a hard season.
