    #277 30 Seconds of Your Voice Reveals 1,000 Biomarkers (No Blood, No Wearable) | Alex Fredericks @ToneWell

    What if the one signal you can't fake is already in your pocket? Your voice changes when you are stressed, tired, or run down, and Alex Fredericks built a company that reads it. ToneWell founder Alex Fredericks explains how a 30-second voice clip is analyzed against a static database to extrapolate about 1,000 biomarkers, delivered as a prioritized wellness report in minutes. No blood, no wearable. Meet our guest Alexander B. Fredericks is a growth engineer and the founder of ToneWell and AECC Group. After more than twenty years in brand, media, and the music business, he turned the voice into a wellness analytic, built on a 30-second Performance Readiness Scan and validated by his co-founder Dr. Bear Walker, a double-PhD pioneer of bio-tracking machines.

Voice is topical: readable in the moment, unlike a blood panel that takes an appointment, a draw, a lab, and a callback. Your baseline is stable, but your in-the-moment values shift, so a single lab draw can miss both. A hard training day burns through magnesium, potassium, zinc, boron, and copper. A wearable gives you a sleep score but not the reason, like a low magnesium form. The science of frequency is old; what is new is the delivery speed. Alex uses ToneWell mostly as his own recovery tool.

    #276 Why Every Diet You’ve Tried Ended, and What an Army Ranger Does Instead | Ben Fudge @Trevor Kashey Nutrition

    Why does every diet eventually end with you back where you started? Ben Fudge says the problem was never your willpower. It was the plan. Ben Fudge, head coach of the Elite program at Trevor Kashey Nutrition and a former Army Ranger, reveals Cognitive Nutrition: a behavior-first method that turns new eating habits into skills that finally hold. He walks through the SRO model, why you track before you target, and how to stay calm when the cookie is right in front of you. Meet our guest Ben Fudge is the head coach of the Elite program at Trevor Kashey Nutrition (TKN). A former Army Ranger with four overseas deployments, he brings military-grade discipline and structure to coaching built on TKN's Cognitive Nutrition method, developed by Dr. Trevor Kashey. Ben has helped clients lose over 100 pounds in a single year and coaches high-performing men to match their body to the life they have already built.

Behavior change, not willpower, is what makes new habits stick. The SRO model (Stimulus, Response, Outcome) inserts time and space before you react. Track everything to the gram first, before setting any target. Fix protein and calories, then run the big four: sleep, hydration, nutrition, activity. One slip is not total failure. Do not slash the other three tires over one flat. Rehearse high-risk moments ahead of time instead of relying on willpower. Reinforce the behavior, not the outcome, and stop rewarding yourself with food Episode highlights 0:00 Why calling it a 'diet' guarantees you quit 1:20 What cognitive nutrition actually is 7:21 The SRO model: stimulus, response, outcome 12:56 Start by tracking everything 17:24 The big 4: sleep, hydration, nutrition, activity 35:26 Rehearse the party before you walk in 1:02:11 How to work with Ben Fudge & TKN Links Watch it on YouTube: https://youtu.be/zhM0SDa5-gM  Full episode show notes: https://outliyr.com/276 Connect with Nick on social media Instagram Twitter (X) YouTube LinkedIn Easy ways to support Subscribe Leave an Apple Podcast review Suggest a guest Do you have questions, thoughts, or feedback for us?

    #275 Why "Normal" Bloodwork Misses Years of Aging Cellular Drift & Multi-Omics Testing | Dr. Adrijana Kekic @futurome

    Your annual physical came back "normal," so why do you still feel foggy, tired, and stuck? Dr. Adrijana Kekic says your biology has probably been drifting for years before any standard test notices. Former Mayo Clinic pharmacogenomics specialist and Futurome founder Dr. Adrijana Kekic reveals what a standard 30 to 100 marker panel misses, how multi-omics testing catches metabolic drift early, and why women age differently after 40. After a preventable pulmonary embolism nearly killed her, she rebuilt her own health and now maps cellular aging for people who look fine on paper. Meet our guest Dr. Adrijana Kekic is a pharmacist and nutritionist trained in genetics, one of the first pharmacogenomics clinical specialists at Mayo Clinic and winner of its 2023 Innovation Award. She founded Futurome, a precision health intelligence company that reads thousands of biomarkers to map cellular aging, with a special focus on female biology.

Multi-omics testing reads thousands of markers across genomics, proteomics, metabolomics, and microbiome. Cellular aging spikes around 40 and 60, the windows where personalization pays off most. The highest mitochondrial density in women sits in the ovaries; decline can surface there before any blood test. Perimenopause is estrogen swinging up and down, not just falling; it hides on standard labs. Women make about 50% less gut serotonin than men, so fasting protocols should differ by sex. Foundation first: sleep, magnesium, vitamin D, movement, and a CGM before advanced interventions. Episode highlights 0:00 Normal labs, hidden aging 6:09 What standard bloodwork misses 18:24 The two aging cliffs at 40 & 60 25:33 The perimenopause you don't notice 30:27 The ICU wake-up call 40:40 Foundation before shiny objects 46:18 Why men & women differ Links Watch it on YouTube: https://youtu.be/1P-vuKmzvtw  Full episode show notes: https://outliyr.com/275 Connect with Nick on social media Instagram Twitter (X) YouTube LinkedIn Easy ways to support Subscribe Leave an Apple Podcast review Suggest a guest Do you have questions, thoughts, or feedback for us?

    #274 From Diabetic to Off All Meds: The One Nutrient That Reverses Type 2 Diabetes | Christ Reade @Beating Diabetes

    Can you reverse type 2 diabetes without drugs? Chris Reade did, and it came down to one nutrient most people never think about. He took his A1C from a diabetic 9.3 back to normal, no medication, no extreme dieting. In this episode he breaks down the soluble-fiber approach and the simple habits that made it stick for almost a decade. Meet our guest Chris Reade is a former software CEO with no medical background who reversed his own type 2 diabetes after an accidental blood test caught his blood sugar sky-high. He now shares a science-first, practical plan built on soluble fiber, walking, sleep, and stress control in his book Beating Diabetes. Thank you to our partners Outliyr Biohacker’s Peak Performance Shop: get exclusive discounts on cutting-edge health, wellness, & performance gear Ultimate Health Optimization Deals: a database of of all the current best biohacking deals on technology, supplements, systems and more Latest Summits, Conferences, Masterclasses, and Health Optimization Events: join me at the top events around the world FREE Outliyr Nootropics Mini-Course: gain mental clarity, energy, motivation, and focus Key takeaways Soluble fiber (edamame, chickpeas, beans, broccoli, oats) slows digestion and blunts glucose spikes. Starting a meal with edamame keeps blood sugar flat and curbs your appetite. Chris dropped nearly 25 pounds in 6 months with no portion control. A short post-meal walk lowers blood sugar as much as a supplement. Berberine matched metformin for him; cinnamon and apple cider vinegar were busts. 1 gram of visceral fat on the pancreas can trigger type 2 diabetes, and losing it can reverse it. Use a CGM short-term to learn, then avoid the long-term analysis paralysis.   Episode highlights 0:00 The accidental blood test 4:06 The one nutrient: soluble fiber 6:09 Edamame before sushi 21:24 Berberine vs cinnamon 7:44 The post-meal walk 43:35 One gram of fat 49:24 Where to find Chris Links Watch it on YouTube: https://youtu.be/LRT8c3T09Ko  Full episode show notes: https://outliyr.com/274 Connect with Nick on social media Instagram Twitter (X) YouTube LinkedIn Easy ways to support Subscribe Leave an Apple Podcast review Suggest a guest Do you have questions, thoughts, or feedback for us?

    #273 Why Your Dog's Lifespan Dropped from 17 to 10 Years, & How Food Fixes It | Dr. Judy Morgan

    Why does the average dog now live 7 fewer years than one did in the 1970s? Holistic veterinarian Dr. Judy Morgan says the answer is sitting in the food bowl, and it's fixable. With 36 years in practice and a base in traditional Chinese veterinary medicine, Dr. Judy Morgan explains how food became the foundation of her work, why dry kibble fails dogs and cats, and the simple whole foods that add years of healthy life. This is a rare episode on how pet health and human health mirror each other. Meet our guest Dr. Judy Morgan (DVM, CVA, CVCP, CVFT) is an integrative veterinarian, acupuncturist, chiropractor, food therapist, and best-selling author with more than 40 years in animal health. Named IAOTP Holistic Veterinarian of the Decade for 2024, she runs Dr. Judy Morgan's Naturally Healthy Pets, helping pet parents worldwide heal with food and natural therapies instead of defaulting to chemicals and processed food. Thank you to our partners Outliyr Biohacker’s Peak Performance Shop: get exclusive discounts on cutting-edge health, wellness, & performance gear Ultimate Health Optimization Deals: a database of of all the current best biohacking deals on technology, supplements, systems and more Latest Summits, Conferences, Masterclasses, and Health Optimization Events: join me at the top events around the world FREE Outliyr Nootropics Mini-Course: gain mental clarity, energy, motivation, and focus Key takeaways The average medium-sized dog's lifespan fell from 17 years to about 10, which Dr. Morgan considers reversible. Dry kibble is capped near 30% meat and can be 50 to 60% carbohydrates, which pets do not require. Roughly 40% of pet-food ingredients are upcycled byproducts, and unnamed "meat meal" can be any species. Pets test 10 to 25 times higher than their owners for cancer-linked household chemicals. Low phosphorus and high moisture matter far more than restricting protein in kidney disease. Cheap whole-food toppers like sardines, eggs, blueberries, and pumpkin make a real difference. Delaying spay or neuter protects joints, hormones, and longevity in large breeds.   Episode highlights 00:00 The dog healed by food, and the owners who lost 200 pounds 06:37 Why moisture matters more than the bag admits 26:53 What really goes into "meat meal" 32:29 Pets need zero carbohydrates 42:12 Lifespan 17 to 10, and why it's reversible 44:45 The cheap whole foods to add today 59:04 The spay and neuter timing rethink Links Watch it on YouTube: https://youtu.be/mU0sdbXCj3s  Full episode show notes: https://outliyr.com/273 Connect with Nick on social media Instagram Twitter (X) YouTube LinkedIn Easy ways to support Subscribe Leave an Apple Podcast review Suggest a guest Do you have questions, thoughts, or feedback for us?
