Are You Feeling Like Sh*t? Here's a Biohacker's Guide - Tony Wrighton
Today we have a very special guest who is actually a celebrity! Maybe you'll recognize his voice as a presenter on Sky Sports in the UK. But today, he is putting on his biohacker hat and share with us "How to stop feeling like shit" and put the energy back into our batteries. He wrote the book on it. It's called "When life is a bit meh…you need energy". Tony wrote a book on energy, because he needed it for himself after he got really ill while on holiday in the Philippines. He promised himself that if he could hack his health and energy, he would share it with the world in a podcast. And that's what he did. You've got to listen to Tony's podcast Zestology. It's amazing. Over the last 6 years he has interviewed nearly everyone worth knowing in health, medicine, science and wellness from all around the world. Like Ben Greenfield, Dave Asprey, Aubrey de Gray and Wim Hof to name just a few. The main purpose of his podcast is to help you find more energy, vitality and motivation in life. I have learned so many great health tips from him, found out about cool new biohacking gadgets and even supplements I never heard of before. I love Tony's honesty in his biohacking experiments and really appreciate how he shares when things go wrong too. It's not only rainbows and unicorns in the biohacking sphere. Although people may know about Tony's TV day job, they may not know that he wrote 3 other books before this new one. They're all about NLP. He's a master practitioner himself in Neuro-linguistic Programming, which he explains to us today. And one last thing you may not know about Tony. He is histamine intolerant and has created a whole website around it called HistamineIntolerance.net and hacked this as well.

Phil Micans has Masters and bachelors degrees in Food & Vitamin Technology, Pharmacy and Biochemistry. He has been actively involved in antiaging medicine since the late 1980's and has contributed to numerous books, magazines, radio and TV shows on various subjects connected to healthy aging.

Save Your Joints, Hormones & Injuries, Regenerative Medicine and Osteoarthritis - Dr. Elizabeth Yurth
Learn how to save your joints with someone very special who has been circulating around the biohacking community for a while now visiting every major podcaster from Dave Asprey to Nathalie Niddam. And now she's with us! This is Dr. Elizabeth Yurth. She explains the root cause of all diseases including osteoarthritis & what we need to know about regenerative medicine before considering surgery for our knees, hips and shoulders. Yes, there are many non-surgical non- or minimally-invasive treatments for arthritis, inflammaging and other degenerative diseases. Dr. Yurth is trained in Sports & Spine Orthopedics, Functional & Regenerative Medicine, and Cellular Medicine. After a long career in orthopedics, Dr. Yurth decided it was time to move her practice forward to the next level and in 2006 co-founded The Boulder Longevity Institute. They specialize in advanced, research-based longevity medicine that has treatments like Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy, Regenerative Orthopedic Procedures, Regenerative Peptide Therapy, and Next Generation Regenerative services. So what makes Dr. Yurth someone we should be listening to? She is double board-certified in Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation AND Anti-Aging/Regenerative Medicine. And although she doesn't look like it, she has a long history as a specialist in Sports, Spine, and Regenerative Medicine that includes a Stanford-affiliated Fellowship in Sports and Spine Medicine, and a dual-Fellowship in Anti-Aging and Regenerative Medicine (FAARM) AND Anti-Aging, Regenerative and Functional Medicine (FAARFM) through the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine (A4M). Dr. Yurth has been selected as one of the 25 mastermind physician fellows in SSRP (Seeds Scientific Research and Performance). This means it allows her to stay abreast and teach others in this growing field of cellular medicine. The cool thing for athletic older people, like me, is that she's also an active athlete herself. She has consulted with the San Francisco 49ers (for the non-Americans, this is American football) as well as the Stanford University women's basketball and soccer. She's a dancer herself and was even the doctor for the San Jose/Cleveland Ballet. Dr. Yurth lives and breathes active human beings who want to keep moving in their 80s and 90s….heck even 100s…because she lives in the health mecca Boulder, Colorado. And get this. With all that she has accomplished…she has, hold on, five. Yes, five. Kids. And she's still married. Woah!

The Problem With NAD Boosters & A More Effective Way To Increase Energy - Dr. Nichola Conlon
Today Dr. Nichola Conlon explains the truth on NAD - a molecule found in the human body that regulates aging. She explains why it declines with age and how activating NAD can clean up our bodies to give us more energy. Dr. Conlon is an accomplished molecular biologist specializing in the study of aging as a biologically complex disorder. She received her PhD in Physiology from Newcastle University, home to the largest institute for aging research in Europe. She is also a trained Cosmetic Scientist. Building on her expertise in molecular biology and years focused on early stage drug discovery with a leading biotech firm, Nichola founded her own company called Nuchido to bring potent, life-enhancing scientific discoveries and education to the public with speed and transparency. Along with leading scientists, Dr Conlon has identified the right combination of targets to restore cellular NAD+ production back to youthful levels, leading to the development of a breakthrough NAD+ booster called Nuchido TIME+. Nichola is an expert in the science of aging and founded Nuchido to bring potent, life-enhancing scientific discoveries and education to the public with speed and transparency. I have been taking NR to increase my NAD, but there is something wrong about this that Dr. Conlon shares about this good intention, but not the best way to increase NAD and energy levels in the body. I guarantee you probably never heard of this before.

Stop Arthritis & Prevent Degeneration In Joints, Alternatives To Surgery - Dr. Guillermo Recatero
Welcome to the Hack My Age podcast interview with sports medicine doctor Guillermo Recatero. Today we will be talking about how to stop arthritic pain and the degeneration of our joints and tissues through new minimally invasive methods like PRP and other regenerative medicine techniques. We want to learn about what we can do before considering surgery for pain from injuries and the degeneration coming from wear and tear. Dr. Recatero formerly worked with the number one (in my opinion) football team Real Madrid (that's soccer for the Americans). So you can imagine the injuries he has seen over the years with professional athletes who he had to get back on to the pitch in just a matter of weeks Dr. Recatero is a board certified Sports Medicine Physician who takes a functional and holistic approach. He holds a Masters in Sports Medicine Injuries, Manual Therapy and Osteopathy and a Masters in Alternative Medicine and Homeopathy. He is an avid learner and researches the latest science on sports injury diagnosis, treatment and prevention. Dr. Recatero has treated my knee with PRP injections to regenerate the cartilage and help bring stability from a complete ACL tear and is now helping me get rid of my osteoarthritis in the hip. I have seen dozens of doctors in the last 25 years since I injured my knee. Most of them tell me to get surgery. I haven't yet succumbed to surgery as I find alternatives that keep me running, jumping and exercising at a high intensity.
