Is Your Spermidine Supplement Safe? Red Flags To Watch For - Leslie Kenny
Show notes
Have you heard of the longevity supplement spermidine? If so, have you heard that some people are saying we should be taking a lot more than the recommended dosage for any effect at all? Is it true?
We cover:
•
What spermidine actually does in your body once you're past your twenties, and why it matters more as you age
•
The real, research-backed dose, and how it compares to what some influencers and clinics are pushing
•
What one small study on high-dose spermidine really proved, and what it didn't
•
Are IV or liposomal spermidine more effective?
•
A red flag story about a popular spermidine brand that wasn't telling the truth on its label
Leslie Kenny is the CEO of Oxford Healthspan and one of the leading voices on spermidine and autophagy. She's the Global Executive Ambassador for the Japan Autophagy Consortium and works with the Nobel laureate who discovered the genes behind autophagy. Her company also funds spermidine research at the University of Oxford and the University of Osaka.
Her path into longevity started as a patient. After living with lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, and Hashimoto's, and going through fertility treatment, she learned to dig into the science herself. That's why she only recommends doses backed by human trials, and why she tests other brands in independent labs.

Show notes
Have you ever been told you have osteoporosis, and told to just take calcium, and sent on your way with zero other questions asked? Would you like to hear what a bone researcher who specialises in nutrition and exercise has to say about this?
We cover:
•
Why "I eat tons of dairy and still have osteoporosis" isn't the gotcha people think it is
•
What your bone density score can't see, and what matters even more

How much of your bone strength is genetic, and how to max out the range you were given
•
How I rebuilt 8% bone density in under a year, and what Sandra says really drove it
•
Calcium, vitamin D, and K2: which forms your body can actually use, and when supplements just become expensive urine

Her research focuses on nutrition and exercise across the lifespan; specifically, to improve musculoskeletal health including studying the effects of exercise and calcium in bone growth in children, vitamin D supplementation to prevent bone loss in adults and food-based approaches to prevent falls, fractures and malnutrition in older adults in aged-care.

Got Implants? What a Plastic Surgeon Wants You to Know Before Menopause - Dr. Shaher Khan
Show notes
Have you heard of breast implant illness? Do you think that maybe that feeling like you're exhausted no matter how much you sleep, weight gain and achy joints may not be menopause, but the implants you just got or got even 30 years ago?
We cover:
•
Why breast implant illness and menopause can look almost identical, and the clues that point one way or the other
•
What the FDA warning actually says, and why most women never heard it before surgery
•
The one timeline almost nobody is told about when they get implants
•
What "silent rupture" means and how you'd actually find out
•
The questions to ask before choosing an explant surgeon, so you only have to do it once
Dr. Shaher W. Khan, MD, is a plastic and reconstructive surgeon known for his patient-centered approach and his commitment to education. After his General Surgery residency, he completed three more years of fellowship training in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at the Detroit Medical Center. In 2014 he founded his private practice, which now includes Landmark Surgery Center, a QUAD A-accredited surgical facility with locations in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan and Northridge, California. Today his work focuses on explant surgery and breast implant illness, and he runs one of the largest online support communities for women going through it.

Why "Boosting" The Immune System Backfires in Menopause and What To Do Instead - Courtney Van Bussum
Show notes
Do you feel like after you exercise or get sick, you just don't bounce back the way you used to? Or maybe you've been told to "boost" your immune system, but no one's ever really explained what that actually means or whether it's even the right goal.
We cover:
•
Why "boosting" your immune system is the wrong goal, and what we want instead
•
What happens to the immune system as estrogen drops, and why autoimmunity hits women so much harder in midlife
•
The surprising link between the gut, bones, and immune system that most people completely miss
•
What "cellular capacity" really means, and simple at-home ways to check if yours is slipping, no fancy clinic required
•
Why your relationships might matter more for your health at 80 than anything on your dinner plate
Courtney Van Bussum is the COO and co-founder of Longevity Launch Labs, an innovation incubator accelerating breakthrough products and companies in cellular and longevity medicine. With a background in biomedical engineering and early experience as a strategy consultant working with both Fortune 500s and startups, Courtney brings a rare blend of scientific insight and operational execution. Before launching Longevity Launch Labs, she helped modernize operations at the Boulder Longevity Institute, one of the country's leading functional and regenerative medicine clinics.

Show notes
Did you grow up in the fat-free, count-every-calorie, be-small era, and now your body just doesn't respond to any of it anymore? Are you secretly hoping the next thing, whether it's more protein, a GLP-1, or HRT, is finally the one that fixes your midsection?
We cover:
•
Why "one thingitis" keeps so many Gen X women stuck, and how to break the cycle
•
The basic rules everyone wants to skip, and why ignoring them makes every hack fall flat
•
A realistic take on GLP-1s and food noise: when they're a smart tool, and when they're a red flag
•
Why the gym is not where you lose weight, and what progressive overload really looks like for a beginner
•
A simple AI exercise that motivates you towards building habits that last

Histamine Intolerance vs MCAS: How to Calm Down Reactions - Dr. Indra Barathan
Show notes
Have you suddenly become "allergic" to foods you've eaten your whole life, like avocado, wine, kimchi, or last night's leftovers? Or are you dealing with random headaches, flushing, brain fog, or a stuffy nose, and nobody can tell you why?
We cover:
•
Why you're suddenly reacting to "healthy" foods you've eaten forever, and why it's usually not a new allergy
•
The hormone that acts like your body's natural antihistamine
•
The "histamine bucket" idea that explains why the same food triggers you one day and not the next
•
The real difference between histamine intolerance and MCAS
•
The root cause approach that calms the whole system down instead of just chasing one symptom at a time
Indra Barathan has over 25 years of experience in the healthcare field. In 2015, she established the Dr. Indra Clinic, which is a collaborative care clinic that takes a functional medicine approach. She believes in understanding the person behind the medical condition. This holistic approach allows her to connect with each patient on a deeper level, recognizing that they hold the answers to their own health challenges. She is also a founding member of the British College of Functional Medicine.

Realistically Resetting Meno Metabolism: Blood Sugar and Menopause Weight Gain - Craig Burton
Show notes
Ever notice you're eating the same way you always have, but suddenly the weight is settling around your middle and just won't budge? Or have you and your partner eaten the exact same meal, and somehow you're the one who feels wrecked afterward?
We cover:
•
Why you can't eat the same things you used to without paying a price
•
The house-on-fire analogy that finally makes blood sugar make sense
•
Why two people can eat the exact same meal and get opposite blood sugar results
•
What ruins blood sugar that has nothing to do with food
•
Why hormones alone won't fix it, and why clean eating alone won't either
Craig Burton is a metabolic health coach with over 30 years of experience helping people balance blood sugar, lower inflammation, and build sustainable habits without fear or perfectionism. His work centers on the foundations of health, mindset, lifestyle, nutrition, and movement, and he's known for meeting people exactly where they are. He runs a free community, the 12% Club, where he coaches members through real-time blood sugar experiments and 30-day resets.
