    S2E3 | Why Modern Medicine Struggles With Chronic Disease | Dr. Michael Crabtree

    Send us Fan Mail Can modern medicine solve chronic disease—or is it solving the wrong problem? In this episode of Trying 2 Learn, I sit down with Dr. Michael Crabtree, Director of Scientific Affairs & Product Development at Bio Energy Life Sciences, to explore one of the biggest debates in healthcare today. Michael's journey is anything but typical. After studying biochemistry, working in quality assurance, traveling the world in the nutraceutical industry, and earning a doctorate in naturopathic medicine, he developed a very different perspective on how we approach human health. We discuss: Why acute medicine and chronic disease require different approachesThe relationship between nutrition, supplements, and pharmaceuticalsWhy quality matters so much in the supplement industryHow consumers can identify trustworthy supplement brandsThe challenges of bringing scientifically supported ingredients to marketThe science behind cellular energy, ATP, and NADHow Bio Energy Life Sciences develops and researches new ingredientsWhether you agree with every point or not, this conversation is an opportunity to hear how someone deeply involved in nutritional science thinks about modern healthcare, research, and the future of wellness. About Dr. Michael Crabtree: Dr. Michael Crabtree is the Director of Scientific Affairs & Product Development at Bio Energy Life Sciences, where he leads research, product development, and scientific strategy for ingredients focused on cellular energy and metabolic health.

    Vitamin/Supplement series episode 2 | Dr. Joel Fuhrman: Can Food Replace Medicine? Why Disease Might Not Be ‘Normal’

    Send us Fan Mail Dr. Joel Fuhrman believes something most people don’t want to hear: Heart disease, cancer, and many chronic illnesses aren’t just “bad luck”… they’re largely preventable. In this episode, we sit down with a physician who’s spent decades studying nutrition—not just as theory, but as a tool to reverse real disease. We get into: Why modern medicine treats symptoms instead of root causesThe idea that we’re “overfed but undernourished”Why most diets (keto, carnivore, etc.) might miss the bigger pictureThe role of micronutrients vs. macrosHow one simple change—like fixing your lunch—could drastically impact your healthThe truth about supplements (and where most people get it wrong)We also dig into the tension: Is this level of eating realistic for normal people? Or are we stuck in a system that makes health harder than it should be? This isn’t about following another guru. It’s about asking: What actually works… and what can I realistically apply in my life?

    Vitamin/Supplement series episode 1 | Series intro: Starting the Nutraceutical Journey

    Send us Fan Mail  Starting the Nutraceutical Journey: Why We Need to Talk About This  Supplements promise health in a bottle—but behind every label is a web of science, sourcing, and sometimes sketchy shortcuts. In this first episode of our Nutraceutical Series, we lay out the questions that drive the journey: What makes a supplement trustworthy? Who actually ensures quality? And how do consumers separate marketing from truth? It’s part curiosity, part accountability—an honest look at the industry from someone that is venturing into the middle of it.

    Episode 19- Dr. Delphine Derrien | Modeling Regeneration: Agriculture, Carbon & the Future of Food

    Send us Fan Mail What if we could simulate the future of farming—and make smarter choices now? In this episode, systems modeler and agroecologist Delphine Derrien breaks down how regenerative agriculture can be scaled intelligently through computational modeling. Her work connects carbon sequestration, regional realities, and global food systems in ways that challenge conventional thinking. We explore: How modeling can predict the climate impact of regenerative farmingWhy “best practice” varies by region, culture, and ecosystemHow better data leads to more grounded decisions for both growers and policymakersThis is systems thinking in action—practical, scalable, and rooted in the complexity of real land, real people, and a changing planet.

    Episode 18- Dr. Jessica Lancaster | Immunity & Aging, the Fibroblast T-cell Frontier

    Send us Fan Mail We often think of T cells as the body’s defenders—but what happens when they can’t move where they’re needed? In this episode, immunologist Dr. Jessica Lancaster breaks down the overlooked role of fibroblasts—the structural cells that help (or hinder) T cell movement—and how this relationship impacts aging, immune function, and disease outcomes. We explore: Why aging immune cells don’t just slow down—they get stuckThe role of tissue environments in T cell surveillance and mobilityHow manipulating fibroblast–T cell interactions could unlock better therapies for cancer, infection, and age-related declineThis conversation zooms in on one of the most dynamic frontiers in immunology—and makes it accessible, without watering it down.

    Episode 17- Dr. Hanadie Yousef | Protein Mapping & The Future of Regenerative Medicine

    Send us Fan Mail What if we could map the healing signals our bodies already use—and turn them into targeted therapies? In this episode, Dr. Hanadie Yousef, co-founder and CEO of Juvena Therapeutics, walks us through how her team is using stem cell systems biology and protein mapping to develop a new class of regenerative medicines. We explore: How secreted proteins mapping helps identify potential therapeuticsWhat it takes to go from protein signals to actual therapyWhy this approach could unlock treatments that are safer and more directed to specific conditions and possibly even individuals. Dr. Yousef shares the science—but also the bigger vision: a future where healing isn’t forced, but guided by biology itself.

    Episode 16- Dr. Heidi Peterson | Stewardship That Works: Conservation Rooted in Real Life

    Send us Fan Mail Conservation isn’t just about protecting land—it’s about understanding it. And in this episode, Heidi Peterson from the Sand County Foundation helps us explore how healthy land management starts with local knowledge, long-term thinking, and partnerships that actually work. We talk about: The real-world tension between productivity and sustainabilityWhy the best conservation efforts are co-created, not handed downWhat being a steward of soil health looks like in the industry and as a consumer.If you care about food, farming, or the future of the land we live on, this episode offers a practical, hopeful look at conservation that’s not just ecological—it’s personal.
