You want to have a spectacular life.  You want to live longer as long as you are healthy mentally and physically.  This podcast has been a vision of mine for the last two and a half years.  As I continue to share with people the astounding results, 90% extension of life in test subjects, reported in peer-reviewed published research about our molecule ESS60, I started to think about what it would be like to live longer.  Not just longer, but ALOT longer.  I also started thinking about how living longer would disrupt the vision many people had about their lives and the final years of that life.  This podcast is big enough to cover all aspects of Living Beyond the Norms but it will start and probably focus on health and longevity and the cutting-edge research which promises significantly longer and healthier living.  It will also cover the unconventional strategies employed today by today's experts to help people Live Beyond the Norms.

    How Telomeres Dictate Your Lifespan and the Science to Lengthen Them for True Age Reversal | Dr. Bill Andrews

    Scientists used to say cells had a countdown timer. Dr. Bill Andrews proved it, then spent decades figuring out how to reset it. In this episode, Dr. Bill Andrews explains why aging isn't just random wear and tear, but an evolved mechanism to eliminate the longer-lived.  He shares the story of discovering the enzyme that can rebuild the ends of our chromosomes, effectively resetting the cellular clock in a petri dish. We explore the reality of gene therapy, why it works, why it's risky, and where you can actually get it today.  He also breaks down the "tug of war" inside your cells, explaining how lifestyle accelerates the loss, and how specific nutraceuticals are finally adding fighters to the other side. "No matter what else we do to try to cure aging, we will never succeed, unless we also solve the telomere shortening problem. – Dr. Bill Andrews Support the show and get 50% off MCT oil with free shipping – just leave us a review on iTunes and let us know! https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/live-beyond-the-norms/id1714886566 About Dr. Bill Andrews: Dr. Bill Andrews is a molecular biologist and longevity researcher pioneering telomere science to combat aging.

    Muscle Pain, Aging, and Flexibility: The Real Reason Your Body Hurts (And How to Fix It Without Surgery) | Butch Phelps

    Most people accept chronic pain as an unavoidable part of aging, but that's a lie. In this episode, I sit down with Butch Phelps to challenge the notion that pain is inevitable as we age. Butch shares his incredible journey from weighing 315 pounds to becoming a leader in muscle repair and aging science.  We talk about why traditional stretching fails most people and how the brain controls muscle tension more than we realize.  Butch also breaks down the surprising connection between tight muscles and joint replacements, while offering simple solutions for common issues such as plantar fasciitis and tennis elbow. "Once you learn to relax the mind and realize that the mind plays such a massive role in your flexibility, you'll be surprised how your body will change." – Butch Phelps Support the show and get 50% off MCT oil with free shipping – just leave us a review on iTunes and let us know! https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/live-beyond-the-norms/id1714886566 About Butch Phelps: Butch Phelps has a bachelor's degree in aging sciences and is the founder of Muscle Repair Shop, a company dedicated to helping people recover faster, move better, and live pain-free using advanced muscle repair and recovery techniques.

    The Science of Nano Bubbles: Why Soaking Your Feet Can Oxygenate Your Brain | Jason Applewhite

    Oxygen nano-bubbles in simple tub soaks are powering cell repair, reducing inflammation, and restoring energy in ways that help athletes perform longer while giving everyday people relief from chronic pain and slow healing.  I sat down with Jason Applewhite to explore this accessible technology that started in environmental and industrial uses before a personal breakthrough turned it into a game-changer for pro sports and longevity.  Jason shared how it began with his dad's plantar fasciitis relief and grew into systems used by Olympic athletes, NFL players, and those facing neuropathy or diabetes complications, all while offering a practical alternative to hyperbaric oxygen therapy.

    Master Your Metabolism: Nutrition and Strength Secrets for High-Performing Men | Ben Brown

    The gap between effort and results kills more transformations than bad nutrition ever will, especially when your metabolism stops forgiving shortcuts. I sat down with Ben Brown, owner of Body Systems and a clinical nutrition expert who works with Fortune 500 companies and pro sports teams like the Arizona Diamondbacks and Golden State Warriors. We talked about how highly driven entrepreneurs and professionals end up stuck in yo-yo cycles despite crushing it in business, and why adding muscle mass in your 50s and beyond requires completely different thinking than just grinding harder. Ben shared his journey through H. pylori, gut dysfunction, and finding the sustainable middle ground between extreme restriction and total chaos, plus the actual protein thresholds that trigger muscle protein synthesis as we age.
