    E278: Peptides 101: The Science of Cellular Signaling, Repair, and Longevity with Dr. Chris Renna

    This episode covers:A thoughtful, science-based conversation about peptides, designed specifically for the peptide-curious with Dr. Chris Renna. This isn’t a sales pitch or a “everyone should be on peptides” episode (I'm not!). It’s an honest conversation about where peptides may fit, and where foundational health still matters more. Dr. Renna is a family physician who graduated from the University of Texas and earned his medical degree cum laude from the University of North Texas Health Science Center. Early in his career, he realized traditional medical training focused on diagnosing disease rather than creating true health, so in 1992, he founded LifeSpan Medicine, a personalized, prevention-focused practice built on concierge support and 24/7 access to care. With more than three decades dedicated to helping patients optimize their health, he’s become a nationally recognized leader in preventive medicine, as well as a published author and sought-after speaker.

Brown, MD is a transformative leader who helps women in business learn how to prioritize and avoid maternal overwhelm.

    E274: Not All Sugars, Supplements, or Diets Are Created Equal with Dr. John Lewis

    This episode covers: A science-backed reframe of sugar, explaining why not all sugars are created equal and how beneficial long-chain carbohydrates like oligosaccharides and polysaccharides differ from added sugars. It explores emerging research on how these compounds may support immune health, inflammation balance, and cognitive function, while also addressing common nutrition myths and the confusion surrounding supplements. The conversation wraps with practical, grounded principles to help listeners make clearer, more confident choices about nutrition and overall wellness. Dr. Lewis is past full-time and current Voluntary Associate Professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine and the Founder and President of Dr Lewis Nutrition™.  While Dr. Lewis still maintains an academic affiliation, he chose to leave a full-time research career to pursue his true passion of helping people achieve health through nutrition, dietary supplements, and exercise. His research in brain health and immune function was key in the creation of Daily Brain Care, but afterward, he chose to shift into business where the opportunity to reach a larger audience is greater. Dr. Lewis Nutrition™ is the vehicle through which Dr. Lewis leverages his many years of personal and professional work to spread a message of health that is so desperately needed, particularly for those who are afflicted with an all-too-common chronic disease, e.g., neurodegeneration, immune dysfunction, or cardiac and metabolic disorder.
