AGEIST

What if one simple molecule could improve your energy, brain clarity, hormone balance, and heart health? Functional nutritionist Dr. Cathy Eason joins us on The AGEIST Podcast to share why nitric oxide (NO) is an often-overlooked key to healthy aging, and how most people over 35 are deficient. She breaks down how testing your levels is a quick, simple way to know your NO levels (it only takes 15 seconds), as well as how to increase your NO through diet, lifestyle, and a clinically tested supplement. Plus, Dr. Eason also reveals why common habits like mouthwash and over-exercising may be silently sabotaging your health goals. Tune in to learn how it all connects.How long will you live?

This week, we welcome Dr. Chris Renna back to The AGEIST Podcast to break down one of the most hyped but least understood subjects in modern health: stem cells. Along with providing a clear explanation of how different types of stem cells function, he talks about how they interact with our immune systems and why most “stem cell therapies” people hear about are missing the point. Tune in to learn what actually works, the difference between redeploying vs. reloading stem cells, and the critical importance of starting any anti-aging protocol by age 30. For those of us interested in real longevity—not just the buzzwords—this episode delivers grounded, usable knowledge.How long will you live?

How do you treat alcohol use disorder (formerly called alcoholism) without requiring total abstinence? This week, Dr. Paul Kolodzik returns to The AGEIST Podcast to discuss his pioneering work around GLP-1s: using these medications to help people reduce their alcohol intake.

Learn why harm reduction, not abstinence, is a realistic and medically valid path for many and how medication paired with behavior change is reshaping addiction treatment today.How long will you live?

What if the aches and pains of aging weren’t inevitable but simply a sign of movement malnourishment? Katy Bowman, biomechanist and author of several books, including Move Your DNA, returns to challenge everything you thought you knew about exercise and health. She introduces the idea of a “movement diet”—a diverse mix of postures and motions your body needs daily for optimal function—and breaks down how to rethink movement beyond the gym. Plus, she explains why sitting on the floor could be more beneficial than a workout and how every activity in your day, from chores to rest, can become an opportunity to move better.How long will you live?

In this episode, Jake unpacks the ecological damage caused by invasive axis deer in Hawaii and how his company uses USDA-certified night harvesting to turn a problem into a protein solution. He explains the connection between deer diet, volcanic soil, and unmatched nutrient density, and how this wild-harvested meat supports both local communities and long-term environmental health.
