    Dr. Leonard Jason on ME/CFS (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome)

    In this episode of Death Clock, Brent is joined by Dr. Leonard Jason, a patient advocate and researcher focused on myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS), to unpack a disease that is widely misunderstood and chronically underdiagnosed. They discuss what ME/CFS actually is, how it differs from everyday fatigue or burnout, and why post-exertional malaise is its defining feature. Their conversation also covers how patients are often misdiagnosed or dismissed, what the latest research suggests about underlying mechanisms, and how long COVID has forced the medical community to take the condition more seriously. He's a wonderful guest, hope you enjoy.

    Dr. Luke Laffin on Hypertension

    This week, Brent sits down with Dr. Luke Laffin, a preventive cardiologist and hypertension specialist, to break down what blood pressure really tells us about long-term health. Dr. Laffin explains why high blood pressure is one of the strongest predictors of heart attack, stroke, kidney disease, and dementia, even when it shows up early or seems "borderline." They discuss how blood pressure should be measured correctly, the difference between office readings and home monitoring, and why lifestyle changes alone aren't always enough. The conversation also covers when medication makes sense, common myths about side effects, and how treating blood pressure early can dramatically reduce lifetime risk. He's a wonderful guest, hope you enjoy.

    Dr. Todd Dorfman on Brent's Latest Heart Procedure

    This week, Brent speaks with his personal physician, Dr. Todd Dorfman, for an update on his own health journey. Using Brent as a real-world case study, they walk through the discovery of an anomalous coronary artery, the risks and benefits of advanced cardiac diagnostics, and why more testing isn't always better. The conversation then shifts to prevention. Dr. Dorfman shares how he thinks about cholesterol, ApoB, Alzheimer's risk, statins, PCSK9 inhibitors, GLP-1 drugs, and other emerging therapies when you don't have disease but want to stay ahead of it. As always, Dr. Dorfman is a wonderful guest. Hope you enjoy.

    Happy New Year! We're releasing this week's episode a day early to help you stay on top of your New Year's Resolutions. Our guest this week is Dr. John Norcross, a clinical psychologist and longtime researcher of behavior change. Drawing on decades of research, Dr. Norcross breaks down the science of goal setting, from choosing realistic resolutions to building action plans, accountability, and tracking progress. They discuss why slips are normal, how rewards and consequences actually motivate behavior, and why preparation matters just as much as action. It's a strong guide to making meaningful changes that last beyond January. Hope you enjoy.
