    What No One Tells You About Supplements

    In this episode, we continue our conversation with Dr. Eric Topol, diving into the truth behind supplements, saunas, cold plunges, and other so-called “longevity hacks.” He explains why most supplements don’t do anything for healthy people, why fads like cold plunges are a farce, and what actually matters if you want to extend your healthspan. We also cover the exceptions—like documented deficiencies—and whether Omega-3s have a place. Dr. Topol makes it clear that the real “hacks” aren’t hacks at all.

    Is Olive Oil a Magic Bullet?

    In this episode, we continue our conversation with Mauro Serafini all about the connection between food, inflammation, and long-term health. We dig into how obesity and metabolic syndrome fuel chronic inflammation, why even people who aren’t overweight can still be at risk, and why not all calories are created equal. Mauro explains how losing fat (not just weight) lowers inflammation, and he shares his perspective on the role of olive oil, fresh markets, and the eating habits of centenarians. We also explore his philosophy of nutritional kindness, a simple, compassionate approach to eating that makes healthy habits sustainable for the long run.
