    Can Aging Be Cured? Telomeres, Longevity Science, and the Future of Health with Dr. Bill Andrews

    What if aging isn’t inevitable… and science could actually reverse it? In this episode of Behind The Practice, Katie Brinkley sits down with Dr. Bill Andrews, a renowned scientist and researcher who has dedicated his entire career to understanding the biology of aging. Driven by a lifelong mission to solve what he calls the “problem of aging,” Dr. Andrews has spent decades studying telomeres and the enzyme telomerase, two key components believed to play a major role in how and why humans age. Dr. Andrews shares the story behind his groundbreaking research, including the discovery of human telomerase and how telomere shortening affects cellular aging. He also explains why many current anti-aging claims focus on biomarkers rather than truly reversing the aging process. The conversation dives into the future of longevity science, the challenges researchers face when trying to fund groundbreaking work, and why Dr. Andrews believes the healthcare system must rethink how it approaches aging. If you’re curious about the science behind aging, longevity research, and what the future of healthcare could look like as scientists push the boundaries of human lifespan, this episode offers a fascinating look at the quest to better understand—and potentially change—the aging process.

    Fix Your Posture, Fix Your Pain: How Body Alignment Impacts Health and Performance w/ Brian Bradley

    Is your body actually broken… or just out of alignment? In this episode of Behind The Practice, Katie Brinkley sits down with posture and performance expert Brian Bradley to talk about how body alignment, posture, and movement patterns impact pain, performance, and long-term health. Brian shares how small structural imbalances in the body can lead to chronic pain, poor movement, and reduced performance. He also explains why many traditional approaches focus on treating symptoms instead of correcting the root cause. From his early work helping Tony Robbins recover from a serious injury to working with athletes and high performers, Brian breaks down how improving posture and movement intelligence can transform how the body functions. They also discuss the rise of biohacking, why trust matters in the wellness industry, and how simple daily movement habits can dramatically improve long-term health. If you’ve ever struggled with back pain, poor posture, or injuries that never seem to fully heal, this conversation offers a powerful new perspective on how alignment and movement can change the way your body performs.

    From Wheelchair to Walking Again: A Stem Cell Recovery Story with Mike Berkowitz

    What happens when doctors tell you there are no more options? In this episode of Behind The Practice, Katie Brinkley sits down with natural medicine publisher Razi Ann Berry and stem cell specialist Mike Berkowitz to share an incredible story of resilience, healing, and hope. After developing severe neurological symptoms that left her unable to walk, care for herself, or live her normal life, Razi Ann searched for answers across both conventional and alternative medicine. When traditional treatments failed to improve her condition, she was introduced to Mike Berkowitz, who specializes in complex neurocognitive and regenerative medicine cases. Razzie shares the emotional and physical journey of losing her mobility, navigating years of uncertainty, and ultimately finding a treatment path that helped her regain strength, independence, and her life as a mother. Mike also explains how stem cell therapies are being used to support complex medical cases, why mindset and belief play an important role in healing, and what patients should consider when exploring emerging regenerative treatments. If you or someone you love has ever faced a difficult diagnosis or felt like you were out of options, this conversation offers a powerful reminder that new possibilities may still exist.

    Hormone Imbalance Isn’t “Just Your Age”: Women’s Hormone Health with Dr. Deb Matthew

    Are your symptoms really “just part of aging”… or could your hormones be out of balance? In this episode of Behind The Practice, Katie Brinkley sits down with Dr. Deb Matthew, a former pediatrician who transitioned into functional medicine after experiencing her own unexplained health struggles. Despite her medical training, Dr. Deb found herself dealing with fatigue, anxiety, sleep issues, and mood changes that traditional medicine couldn’t explain. After discovering the role hormone imbalance played in her symptoms, she shifted her entire approach to medicine and has spent nearly two decades helping men and women restore hormonal balance and feel like themselves again. Dr. Deb explains how hormone changes during perimenopause and menopause can affect sleep, mood, energy, and overall health. She also shares how functional medicine focuses on addressing the root cause of symptoms rather than simply managing them with prescriptions. If you’ve ever been told your symptoms are “just your age” or wondered whether hormone imbalance could be affecting how you feel, this conversation offers a powerful look at how women can reclaim their health and vitality.
