    What Purpose Does to the Human Body with Rian Smoak

    Send us a text Rian Smoak thought he was chasing an Ironman finish line. But as he tells it, “that finish line became my new start line.”  Dr. Kevin White reconnects with a longtime friend and endurance athlete whose story runs far deeper than training plans and race photos. Rian shares how growing up under chronic stress shaped his drive, how a health scare forced him to rethink what “healthy” actually means, and how one defining moment in Kona led to the creation of TRI-DAT: a mission built around helping athletes with different abilities experience their own moments of possibility and pride.  In this episode, you’ll hear how early pressure and perfectionism quietly tax the nervous system, why purpose can change what the body is capable of, and how trading the chase for status or possessions for a cause rooted in service can radically shift both physical and mental health.  If you’ve been living on alert, this conversation is a reminder that your body isn’t broken. It’s responding to the environment it’s been placed in. Start with one decision that lowers the noise, supports recovery, and moves you closer to a life that feels aligned.  You can follow Rian’s work and the TRI-DAT mission on Instagram at @tridat365.

    When Doing More Isn’t Improving Your Health

    Send us a text When effort stops producing results, it’s often not a motivation problem. It’s a physiology problem, especially as hormones begin to shift. In this conversation, Dr. Kevin White sits down with Katie Hardy, Colorado-based board-certified holistic nutritionist and strength and conditioning specialist, to explore why fitness, diet, and exercise stop working the same way over time, particularly for women navigating perimenopause. Drawing from her work with high-performing athletes and active adults, Katie explains how hormonal changes, chronic stress, and under-recovery impact energy, body composition, mood, and long-term health, and why pushing harder often backfires during this stage of life. “If things that used to work aren’t working anymore, that’s not failure. It’s feedback.”  – Katie Hardy You’ll hear:  • How perimenopause changes the body’s response to training, cardio, and calorie restriction  • Why hormones, stress, and recovery matter more than doing more exercise  • Common nutrition mistakes women make as hormones shift  • Why savory, protein-forward meals better support energy and body composition  • How smarter training and intentional recovery support health and longevity during midlife Find Katie Hardy on Instagram at @mypeak365 and learn more about her work at MyPeak365.com. 🎧 The Daily Apple  Practical conversations about longevity, performance, and the habits that build better health.

    The Anti Surgery Blueprint for Your Joints with Dr. Joshua Schacter

    Send us a text Arthritis and joint pain are not just “wear and tear.” They are mechanical stress layered on top of hormonal shifts, metabolic strain, chronic inflammation, and muscle loss. In this conversation, Dr. Kevin White sits down with Dr. Joshua Schachter, board certified orthopedic surgeon and founder of Pinnacle Integrative Orthopedics and Sports Medicine in Wichita Falls, Texas. After performing more than fifteen thousand surgeries and leading an Advanced Orthopedic Center of Excellence, Dr. Schachter rebuilt his entire approach around helping patients avoid surgery through functional medicine, hormone optimization, muscle preservation, and regenerative tools. “Arthritis and joint pain are not just mechanical problems. They are mechanical problems with a systemic issue.”       - Dr. Joshua Schacter You’ll hear:  • How hormones, insulin resistance, and chronic inflammation accelerate joint breakdown  • Why sarcopenia is one of the strongest predictors of mobility and independence as you age  • The hidden risks of repeat steroid injections for shoulders, knees, and hips  • How PRP and bone marrow based treatments support healing and delay or avoid surgery  • What integrated orthopedics could mean for active adults who want to stay strong as they age Find Dr. Schachter on Instagram at @drjoshuaschachter and learn more about his work at Pinnacle Integrative Orthopedics (searchable across Instagram, Facebook, and online). 🎧 The Daily Apple  Practical conversations about longevity, performance, and the habits that build better health.  Hosted by Dr. Kevin White of Prime Health Associates.

    You’re Not Stuck With Your Vision: The Science That Changes Everything with Dr. Bryce Appelbaum

    Send us a text For decades we assumed vision was fixed. You were either born with good eyes or you weren’t. But the science tells a different story: vision is a trainable brain skill, and strengthening the eye-brain connection can improve clarity, stamina, focus, and even emotional regulation. Dr. Kevin White sits down with neurooptometrist Dr. Bryce Appelbaum to break down why screen fatigue, headaches, slow reading, dizziness, and post-concussion symptoms are often rooted in visual skills that can be retrained. “Vision problems are brain problems. And the good news is that the brain can be retrained.”  Dr. Bryce Appelbaum You’ll hear:  • Why eyesight and vision are two completely different systems  • How screen time locks your focusing system into fight or flight  • Why two thirds of the neurons entering your brain come from your eyes  • How every concussion affects vision, even when symptoms fade  • Why eye movements are mobility and should be trained like any other system  • How ScreenFit builds the eye-brain stamina your digital life demands Exclusive for Daily Apple listeners: Use code DAILYAPPLE for $200 off Dr. Appelbaum’s ScreenFit program.

    How a Full Body MRI Gives You Answers, Not Anxiety with Dr. Dan Durand

    Send us a text Whole body MRI is changing prevention from a guess into something you can actually see. Dr. Kevin White talks with Dr. Dan Durand, Johns Hopkins trained radiologist and Chief Medical Officer at Prenuvo, about how full body scans are catching silent problems early: from fatty liver and visceral fat to aneurysms, early cancers, and brain changes linked to cognitive decline and dementia. They unpack how Prenuvo’s model pairs deep imaging, multiomic data, and real conversations with clinicians so patients do not just get a data dump, but a clear plan for what to do next. “Think of a whole body MRI as a home inspection for your health: you want to find the hidden leaks before the ceiling caves in.” – Dr. Dan Durand You’ll hear:  • Why traditional screening only looks at a few organs and what whole body MRI adds  • How often Prenuvo finds serious issues early and what that means for real people  • The link between visceral fat, brain volume, and long term cognitive health  • How AI is being used to measure brain regions, muscle, and fat with precision  • Why reassurance from a clean scan can be just as powerful as a life saving catch  • How to think about timing, HSA dollars, and making this part of your prevention plan Learn more about Prenuvo and their whole body MRI at prenuvo.com. 🎧 The Daily Apple  Practical conversations about longevity, performance, and the habits that build better health.
