Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2031666/fan_mail/new] We trade the most interesting health headlines of the month and test our assumptions about fasting, sunlight, and mosquito prevention. We connect the dots between gut health, kidney function, inflammation, sunscreen ingredients, and the biology that makes some people mosquito magnets.  • Crohn’s disease research on 16:8 time-restricted eating and symptom relief  • fasting-mimicking diets and why meal timing may affect circadian rhythms and the gut microbiome  • autophagy, inflammation reduction, and the case for fasting beyond weight loss  • chronic kidney disease findings tied to low-salt fasting-mimicking approaches  • kidney communication with the brain, immune system, and metabolism  • sunscreen headlines, chemical absorption concerns, and the benefits of smart sun exposure  • FDA approval of bemotrizinol and questions about US regulatory delays  • what attracts mosquitoes, including CO2, heat, skin chemistry, beer, bananas, and clothing color  • DEET and permethrin tradeoffs plus practical non-chemical bite prevention  • patchouli oil as a potential repellent and who should avoid it  Thanks for listening to this edition of Frontline Health by Centurion.

#148 - What If Anti-Aging Is Really Better Repair?

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2031666/fan_mail/new] A tiny string of amino acids bound to copper is making a huge splash in health, skincare, and regenerative medicine and it’s called GHK-Cu. We sit down to demystify what it is, why it shows up so often in anti-aging and recovery conversations, and what the science is actually suggesting (without pretending it’s a miracle fix). We start with the basics: GHK-Cu is a naturally occurring copper peptide made of glycine, histidine, and lysine, and we explain peptides as signaling molecules that help direct repair processes. From there, we dig into why GHK-Cu is so popular for skin health, including collagen synthesis and tissue remodeling. If you’ve ever wondered why skin loses that “lift” over time, we share a simple way to think about collagen support and what GHK-Cu may be doing underneath the surface. Then we widen the lens beyond cosmetics into wound healing, angiogenesis, inflammation regulation, oxidative stress, and longevity. We also touch on the buzzier topic of hair growth and why copper peptides are being watched for follicle support and scalp circulation. Finally, we get practical about peptide safety: how to think about regulation, why dosing consistency matters, and how to vet quality with a certificate of analysis from a reputable lab. If you found this helpful, subscribe to the Frontline Health Podcast, share it with a friend who’s peptide-curious, and leave a review with your biggest question about GHK-Cu.

#147 - Lyme Disease And Alpha Gal Explained with Daniel Justice

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2031666/fan_mail/new] A single tick bite can change your health for years, and the hardest part is often getting someone to take your symptoms seriously. We sit down with Daniel Justice, a certified holistic health coach who has lived through 13 years of Lyme disease, to unpack why Lyme is so often missed, why the standard testing pathway can fail real people, and what you can do when the answers feel stuck. If you’ve ever been told “your labs are normal” while your body says otherwise, this conversation is for you.  We compare Lyme disease with alpha-gal syndrome and make the differences clear: alpha-gal is typically an immune-driven food reaction, while Lyme is a complex bacterial infection that can involve multiple co-infections like Babesia and Bartonella. We also dig into chronic Lyme vs post-Lyme, the symptom burden that can look like autoimmune disease, and the practical reality of elimination diets when alpha-gal and Lyme collide. Along the way, we break down ELISA screening, Western Blot banding, and why clinical diagnosis still matters in tick-borne illness.  From there we shift into support and action steps: how to avoid ticks, what to do if you’re bitten, why saving the tick can help, and how early treatment timing can change outcomes. Daniel also shares an integrative lens on pacing, detox support, gut health, biofilms, and supplements that commonly come up in Lyme recovery, plus his experience with bee venom therapy and the safety precautions it requires.  If this helped you, subscribe to the Frontline Health Podcast, share this episode with someone who needs it, and leave a review so more people can find trustworthy, practical guidance.

#146 - AI And Your Health

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2031666/fan_mail/new] We weigh the promise of AI-driven medicine against the risks of handing our bodies and relationships over to algorithms. We land on a simple standard: AI can boost accuracy and efficiency, but human oversight, empathy, and real community keep health care from becoming hollow.  • AI in modern medicine through imaging, radiology, cancer detection, drug discovery, and predictive diagnostics  • Why data quality matters and how incomplete context leads to bad recommendations  • The case for AI plus clinician partnership rather than AI alone  • What happens when AI and a physician disagree and why rapport still matters  • Wearables, HRV, recovery signals, and practical behavior change  • When biohacking becomes anxiety and health tracking becomes an idol  • Social media algorithms, attention manipulation, and rising relational risks  • AI romantic companions, pornography, and the “yes-man” problem in intimacy  • A narrow use case for dementia companionship that can support caregivers  Thanks for listening to this edition of Frontline Health by Centurion.

#145 - Gut-Brain Axis Explained: Stress, Microbiome, and Real-World Fixes

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2031666/fan_mail/new] We break down how the gut brain axis works and why your digestion can shape your mood, stress levels, cravings, and sleep.
