    Shocking Dentistry Secrets They Don't Want You To Know

    Dr Dominik Nischwitz is a biological dentist who transformed from "tooth mechanic" to health optimisation expert after solving his own health issues through oral health, and this conversation reveals why the mouth is upstream of everything, how mouthwash destroys your microbiome, and why teeth should never need drilling if you understand root causes. The mouth is the hotel lobby to your body—if it looks terrible, you don't go in. This episode covers why hydroxyapatite toothpaste remineralises teeth naturally, unlike fluoride which disrupts your thyroid, and why chewing hard foods builds square masculine jawlines better than excessive gum. 00:00 Introduction02:10 Why oral health is the most overlooked health lever06:00 From fixing teeth to whole-body healing through the mouth11:24 Why most dentists are just tooth mechanics15:14 How the mouth connects to mood, gut, and brain health18:16 Why dental education is totally outdated22:32 How bad nutrition secretly leads to tooth decay26:17 Why ancestral eating prevented crooked teeth33:36 Exactly what to buy: better toothpaste, brush and floss39:06 The right way to brush, floss, and tongue scrape43:10 Why mouthwash does more harm than good46:22 Coconut oil pulling and easy daily habits49:14 What causes bad breath, and when it's a red flag53:49 Chewing gum, jaw muscles and face shape changes57:45 Why mouth breathing ruins sleep and how to fix it1:00:40 The lifelong jaw benefits of breastfeeding1:11:22 When to prioritise oral health in your optimisation journey1:20:57 What getting a full mouth restoration actually looks like1:28:07 The truth about whitening, veneers and dental aesthetics DISCLAIMERNothing shared on this podcast is a substitute for professional medical guidance.

    The Modern Diet Is Making You Sick, Here's What To Eat | Dr Anthony Chaffee

    Dr Anthony Chaffee is a carnivore diet advocate who hasn't eaten fibre in a decade, and this conversation exposes how the plant-based food industry was founded by a religious movement obsessed with suppressing sexual urges, why tobacco companies now run most processed food manufacturers, and what actually happens to your body when you eat only meat. This reveals what changes in your bloodwork after going carnivore, why grain-finished beef is still better than any plant alternative, and how your brain's central governor of fatigue might explain the carb-performance debate better than actual glycogen needs.

    The Future Of Regenerative Medicine Is Here | Dr Torbjörn Ogéus

    Dr. Torbjörn Ögéus healed his own career-ending knee injury by building a centrifuge from a table fan and injecting himself over 100 times. Now he’s exposing why most stem cell clinics are doing it wrong. You’ll hear why IV stem cell drips usually fail, how spark cells (very small embryonic-like stem cells) stored in your body since you were an embryo could hold the key to regeneration, and how apheresis and exosomes are reshaping what’s possible in regenerative medicine. This one’s packed with new science, wild case studies, and a peek into the next decade of healing and human performance. 00:00 Introduction03:00 How a failed knee surgery led to Torbjörn’s first experiment07:23 Why stem cells are suddenly everywhere and still misunderstood10:08 Three main types of stem cells and their real risks13:30 Why IV stem cell treatments often don't work as promised16:14 Discovering a new type of stem cell in adult blood22:58 The breakthrough of multiplying stem cells outside the body26:06 Exosomes explained and why they matter for longevity30:41 Exosome treatment effects across the whole body35:28 Using exosomes for skin and hair instead of Botox38:03 Who stem cell therapy is right for, and who should avoid it43:02 Surprising results from stem cell tests, including “spiritual” healing46:45 How stem cells are combined with other tools to treat joints50:10 Other surprising conditions improved with exosome therapy54:55 The problem with unregulated stem cell treatments59:16 Can apheresis detox your blood, or is it hype?01:04:11 The future of regenerative medicine and what comes next DISCLAIMERNothing shared on this podcast is a substitute for professional medical guidance.

    Debunking The Most Dangerous Training & Protein Myths

    » Produced by Hack You Media: pioneering a new category of content at the intersection of health performance, entrepreneurship and cognitive optimisationInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/hackyoumedia/Website: https://hackyou.media/ After years of Bayesian thinking and updating beliefs based on data, Menno Henselmans proves that frequency beats volume concentration, carb-loading before workouts is mostly psychological, and the average gym-goer leaves 6–7 reps in reserve — basically just doing warmup sets. You’ll hear why training a muscle twice a week hits the sweet spot (with diminishing returns after that), how eating right before bed is fine if you're used to it, and what happens when blood pressure monitoring reveals white coat hypertension. Tune in for why creatine doesn’t work for a third of people, how one hour less sleep can cut your gains by 50%, and why waking up at 4AM to be “productive” is ruining your willpower and nutrient partitioning, not making you Arnold. 00:00 Introduction02:20 Menno’s evidence-based approach to hypertrophy and fat loss05:18 Updated protein recommendations for maximum muscle growth07:21 Fasted training revisited with new research findings16:55 Full-body training vs bro splits: what actually works21:02 Weekly frequency sweet spot for strength and hypertrophy25:05 The real deal with reps in reserve and training to failure30:50 Most overrated lifts for hypertrophy and better alternatives35:39 Two-a-day workouts and lessons from elite athletes38:56 Longer rest intervals and how to train more efficiently44:35 Cardio, step count, and actual metabolism myths50:06 Strength training’s long-term edge over cardio for fat loss57:50 Intermittent fasting, cheat meals, and psychological downsides01:05:35 Eating before bed, nutrition myths vs what matters01:07:53 Top three supplements that actually move the needle01:12:23 Why most people don’t need electrolytes or added sodium01:16:45 Blood pressure, testing cadence, and silent health risks DISCLAIMERNothing shared on this podcast is a substitute for professional medical guidance.

    The 4-Hour Sleep Hack That Can Increase Your Longevity | Kristen Holmes

    After analysing data from thousands of Whoop users — including elite athletes — Kristen Holmes (@TheLine-Podcast) proves that bypassing your natural pressure for sleep comes at a massive cost to recovery, HRV, and performance. You’ll hear why perceiving your day as threatening instead of challenging destroys your sleep quality, how Zone 2 training is actually a recovery modality (not exercise), and what happens when you fight sleepiness and get a second wind that crushes your melatonin and growth hormone release. Tune in for her jet lag protocol, why meal timing matters more than most people realise, and the single behaviour that improves almost every health metric: consistent sleep timing. 00:00 Introduction05:30 Why sleep consistency matters more than sleep duration11:06 Circadian misalignment and lifestyle stress in the UAE14:31 How your perception of stress affects your recovery17:29 Using breathwork like the physiological sigh to lower stress20:44 HRV explained and what it means for recovery27:48 Can short sleep still be good if it’s high quality?31:09 Why food timing is crucial for quality sleep33:17 The problem with skipping breakfast and late-night hunger41:09 Zone 2 cardio as a powerful recovery tool46:17 Surprising benefits of hot tubs and heat exposure51:08 Nine metrics that drive your pace of ageing53:33 Why calorie tracking is still so inaccurate59:19 Blood work integration and AI coaching insights01:05:05 The future of longevity, performance and personal health data01:11:20 The one behaviour that has the biggest impact: sleep timing DISCLAIMERThis episode is NOT affiliated with Whoop.Nothing shared on this podcast is a substitute for professional medical guidance.

    Understanding Hormones Was Hard Until I Learned These 3 Concepts

    Dr. Louise Newson is rewriting the menopause conversation — and she’s here to show you why every man needs to understand hormone deficiency, because the women in your life are probably suffering in silence right now. After years of women being dismissed with antidepressants and meditation advice, Louise proves that hormone replacement is as simple as taking iron supplements for deficiency. You’ll hear why your partner’s mood changes, brain fog, and exhaustion might not be stress, how a flawed 2002 study created unnecessary fear that’s still ruining lives, and what happens when women are told their symptoms are just something to accept. Tune in for the signs you need to watch for in partners, mothers, and daughters, why symptoms can start in their 20s and 30s, and how understanding this one thing could save your relationship — or her career. 00:00 Introduction 02:00 Redefining menopause and why the word is misleading 06:20 Why all adults should understand hormone health 11:14 Blood tests vs symptom tracking for hormone issues 14:38 Natural vs synthetic hormones and common confusion 18:46 The medical system’s blind spots around menopause treatment 23:16 How testosterone was discovered — and women’s need for it 30:22 Common low testosterone symptoms most women overlook 36:01 Why lifestyle advice often fails without hormone support 41:03 What feeling like “yourself” again actually means 47:08 How partners can better support women through hormonal shifts 50:11 Why many doctors still dismiss hormones as the cause 54:16 Issues with training and cycle-based fitness advice 56:59 The 2002 study that wrongly damaged HRT’s reputation 01:00:37 The rise of ineffective treatments and misdiagnoses DISCLAIMER Nothing shared on this podcast is a substitute for professional medical guidance.

    Plant-Based Diets, Protein Myths & Longevity | Simon J Hill

    Simon J Hill spent years eating steak for every meal. But when he looked at the longevity research objectively, he couldn’t ignore what the data was telling him about how we age. In this episode, you’ll hear why the healthiest diets share specific characteristics — regardless of whether they’re Mediterranean, pescatarian, or plant-based. Simon shares the three biomarkers that predict metabolic disease better than expensive panels (including one that costs $40 and takes 30 seconds to measure), and why he draws a hard line at plant-exclusive eating even though it might be easier to just eat less meat. 00:00 Introduction02:00 Simon’s journey from physiotherapist to nutrition science04:02 Navigating nutrition myths and overwhelming health advice06:52 Why Simon shifted from steak lover to plant-based eating10:37 Understanding themes across healthy diets, not just labels14:31 Plant protein vs animal protein for strength and longevity17:24 Using biomarkers to personalise your diet decisions20:19 Debunking plant protein absorption and muscle building25:50 Early mistakes going vegan and why execution matters31:31 Gut health, microbiome diversity, and eating more plants34:39 Caution around CGMs and over-tracking blood glucose37:48 What happens when you eat too much fibre too fast42:22 Simon’s full lifestyle protocol for diet, training and sleep47:51 Travel rules, front-loading nutrients, and staying flexible49:29 Food hacks for glucose control and when they’re worth it51:28 Five core supplements he actually takes and why55:38 Key nutrients to watch on a plant-based diet01:00:22 Three biomarkers everyone should track01:06:35 How his views on dairy and protein have evolved DISCLAIMERNothing shared on this podcast is a substitute for professional medical guidance.
