    Rubin On Point | It's Not Just Hair | Carly Klein

    Hair loss is often treated as cosmetic — but for many people, it’s one of the most emotional and disruptive parts of illness, stress, and recovery. In this episode of Rubin On Point, Dr. Dan Rubin sits down with Carly Klein, President & CEO of NHL Med Aesthetics (NHLMA), one of the nation’s leading experts in hair loss treatment, scalp health, and hair restoration. With nearly 20 years of experience, Carly explains how hair loss can be connected to deeper issues in the body — including inflammation, nutrient deficiencies, hormonal shifts, chronic stress, EMF exposure, and recovery after cancer treatment. Together, they explore why hair regrowth doesn’t always happen automatically, why hair loss is a diagnosable condition, and how personalized, inside-out approaches can support long-term scalp health and confidence. This conversation goes beyond appearance.It’s about identity, resilience, and helping people feel like themselves again. 🔗 Learn more about NHL Med Aesthetics:👉 www.nhlma.com Topics discussed: • Hair loss after cancer treatment• Hair regrowth and scalp health support• Stress-related hair shedding and delayed regrowth• Integrative and functional approaches to hair loss• Personalized testing for hair restoration• Emotional impact of hair loss and healing 🎙️ Rubin On Point is a podcast about cancer resilience — and being human. ⏱️ YouTube Chapters 00:00 – Why hair loss is deeply human01:30 – Hair loss after cancer treatment03:00 – Why regrowth doesn’t always happen evenly05:30 – Hair loss as a diagnosable condition07:00 – Stress, timelines, and delayed shedding09:00 – EMFs and modern exposures12:00 – Inside-out healing vs surface solutions15:00 – Personalized testing and treatment18:00 – Identity, confidence, and feeling like yourself again22:00 – Supporting people through cancer-related hair loss26:00 – Why this work matters

    Rubin On Point | Resilience in Motion; Elite Performance and Healing, Humanity and the Pressures We Feel | Robb Blackaby

    What happens when someone who works behind the scenes of the X Games and the Olympics brings those same tools into a medical clinic? In this episode of Rubin On Point, Dr. Dan Rubin sits down with Rob Blackaby, PT, DPT, ATC, CFMT—a physical therapist whose work spans action sports, Olympic athletes, and people navigating serious illness. But this conversation isn’t about extreme sports. It’s about pressure.About what happens to the body when the stakes are high. And why regulation—not force—is often the missing piece in both performance and healing. Rob shares how movement, breath, and nervous system awareness shape outcomes at the highest level—and why those same principles matter just as much in everyday life, recovery, and cancer care. Some of what he describes goes against how we’re taught to think about strength.And some of it may change how you view movement altogether. This conversation only scratches the surface of Rob’s work across performance, healing, and human resilience.

    Rubin On Point | Olive Oil Shots Rescue Dogs & Weighted Vests | A Day In The Life of Johnjay Van Es

    In this episode of Rubin On Point, Dr. Dan Rubin sits down with nationally syndicated radio personality, long-time host of The Johnjay & Rich Show, dog-rescue advocate, co-founder of LovePup and LoveUp, and self-proclaimed “biohacking experiment,” Johnjay Van Es — a man known as much for his humor and honesty as his willingness to try anything in pursuit of better health, healing, and longevity. Together they explore what it truly takes to de-age and “opti-age” in a noisy, overstimulating world — from EMF protection, vitamin D habits, sleep optimization, emotional regulation, lab-driven decision-making, and movement practices, to even some of the more unconventional methods he’s tried — like sunning his butthole — all in the name of curiosity-based biohacking, nervous-system resilience, and staying alive with purpose. This conversation blends humor, vulnerability, and practical resilience tools as Johnjay shares why he refuses to repeat his family’s history of cancer and heart disease — and how he’s intentionally building a future that outlives him: for his children, his community, and the animals whose lives have been changed through his rescue work. Watch to hear:• The moment that changed his health trajectory• Why he’s obsessed with metrics, labs & data• How EMF awareness reshaped his habits and home• His favorite sleep, recovery, and nervous-system tools• The untold mission behind the LovePup and LoveUp foundations• Why service may be the most meaningful longevity medicine Links & Resources From This Episode Listen to The Johnjay & Rich Showhttps://johnjayandrich.iheart.com/  Featured CharitiesLovePup Foundation → https://lovepupfoundation.org/LoveUp Foundation → https://loveupfoundation.org/ Dog-Parent Support (24/7 guidance + resources)LovePup Plus → https://lovepupplus.com/ ⚡️ Our EMF-Safe Clinic (Airestech Installation)Watch the install video → https://youtu.be/M1vZP2oxivMUse code NSEMF at checkout for a discount. ⏱️ Chapters 00:00 – Intro01:12 – Why this conversation matters right now05:20 – The personal wake-up call: losing both parents10:44 – Data, labs & calcium scoring14:30 – EMF anxiety, protection & our clinic install19:52 – Sleep stacking: blankets, magnesium & recovery rituals25:18 – Movement, sweat, VO₂ max & fascia work29:40 – Vitamin D, healthy fats & timing matters37:10 – Humor, authenticity & mental resilience42:55 – The origin story of LovePup & LoveUp48:23 – Service, community & purpose-driven longevity55:01 – Closing reflections + what matters most
