The Indoor Epidemic: How 17 Minutes Outside Resets Your Circadian Rhythm | Dr. John La Puma

Have you optimized your diet, dialed in your supplements, but you're still exhausted, foggy, and can't sleep? What if the missing piece isn't another protocol, but the fact that you're spending 93% of your life indoors? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. John La Puma to unpack the science behind his new book, Indoor Epidemic. We get into why the brightness of outdoor light governs half your genes, and why your bedtime predicts longevity better than your total hours of sleep. Dr. John explains the minimum effective dose of outdoor time your body needs, why "light first, coffee second" matters, and simple ways to turn nature into a free, powerful medical intervention. "Having a two-hour forest bathing session can improve natural killer cell activity and number by 56%." ~ Dr. John La Puma In This Episode: - What is the indoor epidemic? - How light sets your circadian rhythm - The 17-minute effective dose and morning light protocol - How gardening impacts the microbiome - Additional tips to explore outdoors more - Benefits of watching the sunrise and sunset - The 7-day Outdoor Rx reset program - Where to get Dr. John's book and more resources Products & Resources Mentioned: Dr. John La Puma's Book, Indoor Epidemic: 93% Inside Steals Sleep, Focus & Years - The 7% Outdoor Rx Restores Them: https://indoorepidemic.com [https://indoorepidemic.com] Bon Charge Red Light Face Mask: Get 15% off sitewide, plus free shipping and a 12-month warranty, with code WENDY at https://boncharge.com/ [https://boncharge.com/] Tru Energy Skincare Bio Adaptive Hydration Oil: Try the oil and save up to $197 at trytruenergy.com/wendy5 [http://trytruenergy.com/wendy5] Heavy Metals Quiz: Take the quiz at https://heavymetalsquiz.com [https://heavymetalsquiz.com] About Dr. John La Puma: John La Puma, MD, ChefMD, is a two-time New York Times bestselling author, board-certified internist, and professionally trained chef who pioneered Culinary Medicine.

AI in Healthcare: What AI Can and Can't Tell You About Your Health | Nasim Afsar, MD, MBA

One of the biggest problems with healthcare isn't a lack of data, but the fact that none of it is connected. We have lab results, wearables, environmental exposures, sleep scores, and medical records scattered in different places. Yet we're often left without a clear picture of what all that information actually means for our health. I sat down with Nasim Afsar to explore how artificial intelligence could help us bring those pieces together. We talked about using tools like Claude and Gemini for health questions, the limitations of today's AI models, privacy concerns, and why relying too heavily on numbers can disconnect you from what your body is telling you. We also look at where healthcare is headed, from continuous monitoring and predictive analytics to personalized prevention before symptoms become bigger problems. You'll hear about how to filter through biohacking noise, make smarter decisions with your health data, and use technology without letting it replace your own judgment. "Large language models have access to a wealth of information that can help you better understand what your information says, and potentially brainstorm about what else could be going on." ~ Nasim Afsar In This Episode: - The pillars of intelligent health - Using AI to analyze complex health symptoms - Best LLMs and wearables for health data - Avoiding health optimization overload - Monitoring and consolidating data for health intelligence - Bias in AI recommendations - How algorithms shape health information - Three steps to take charge of your health - AI health tools and where to get Nasim's book Products & Resources Mentioned: Nasim Afsar's Book, Intelligent Health: A resource built to unify data, harness AI, and empower people to thrive.

PMS and Period Pain May Be a Nutrient Deficiency | Izzy Fischer

Are your hormones really the problem, or is your body missing the nutrients it needs to function properly? If you've accepted painful periods, PMS, mood swings, or low energy as "normal," this conversation may completely change the way you think about hormone health. Joining me is Izzy Fischer, founder of DailyBasis, who shares the science behind cycle syncing nutrition and why women have different nutritional needs throughout the menstrual cycle. We cover the roles of estrogen and progesterone and why iron and B vitamins matter for women of all ages. You'll understand why foundational nutrition matters long before PMS symptoms become severe and how building healthy habits today can support hormonal resilience for years to come, especially in menopause.

High-Dose Melatonin's Role In Cellular Energy, Detox & Healthy Aging | Dr. John Lieurance, ND, DC

What if the fatigue, poor sleep, and slow healing you've chalked up to "just getting older" actually trace back to one molecule you stopped making enough of at 40? Melatonin isn't just a sleep aid. It's your mitochondria's master antioxidant, and its levels fall off a cliff right when you need it most. In today's episode, Dr. John Lieurance joins me to break down why that drop matters so much for energy, detox, and brain health. He shares the research behind super-physiological melatonin dosing, why suppositories outperform oral and IV delivery, and how melatonin clears heavy metals from the brain. We talk about his health crisis, root causes of enlarged prostate, and the peptides he uses for skin and tissue repair. We also dig into mold detox, craniosacral therapy, and heart rate variability as a longevity marker. "400 times more melatonin is secreted by the lining of your gut, triggering microbiome swarming that stimulates the good bacteria to proliferate and inhibit the bad bacteria." ~ Dr. John Lieurance In This Episode: - Addressing prostate inflammation at the Advanced Rejuvenation clinic - Mitochondrial stress from endogenous and exogenous toxins - Airways, dura and the glymphatic system - Fascia, acupuncture and frequency medicine - The Warburg effect and melatonin intersect - How melatonin supports heavy metal detoxification - Melatonin and Heart Rate Variability (HRV) - Health benefits of MitoSkin and GHK-Cu Copper - Mold toxicity and detox strategies Products & Resources Mentioned: Dr. John Lieurance's Book: Melatonin Miracle Molecule: https://a.co/d/04I0Zc2L [https://a.co/d/04I0Zc2L] MitoZen Supplements: Science-backed supplements for NAD+, sleep, immune support, cellular energy, and detoxification: https://www.mitozen.com/ [https://www.mitozen.com/] Fresh-Pressed Olive Oil: Try a full-size $39 bottle for just $1 to cover shipping at https://getfreshwendy.com [https://getfreshwendy.com] Tru Energy Skincare Bio Adaptive Hydration Oil: Try the oil and save up to $197 at trytruenergy.com/wendy5 [http://trytruenergy.com/wendy5] Organifi Collagen: Save 20% with code MYERSDETOX at https://organifi.com/myersdetox [https://organifi.com/myersdetox] Heavy Metals Quiz: Check your toxicity score and receive a free video series on how to detox your body.

Erectile Dysfunction: How Stress, Toxins, & Nerves Affect Performance With Dr. Jordan Barber

Could erectile dysfunction be a warning sign from your body rather than just a performance issue? Today I'm hosting Dr. Jordan Barber to uncover how sexual health is connected to pelvic floor dysfunction, nerve compression, trauma, toxins, hormones, and lifestyle choices. Dr. Barber shares how his background in Chinese medicine and acupuncture has shaped his approach to identifying the root causes of ED rather than masking symptoms with quick fixes. We also discuss testosterone, circadian rhythms, vagus nerve health, and porn's impact on dopamine signaling. He also offers practical strategies men can use to support better sexual function and longevity. Tune in for the bigger picture behind erectile dysfunction and a more holistic approach to improving vitality. "If a man has performance anxiety, he's going to be stuck in a sympathetic state, which will not allow him to maintain or have a firm erection." ~ Dr. Jordan Barber In This Episode: - Erectile dysfunction as a health signal - Pelvic floor dysfunction and nerve pathways - The neurology of an erection - Tools to ease performance anxiety - Hormones, toxins, and testosterone replacement - Hair growth medications and erectile issues - Porn, dopamine, and performance issues - Root causes of ED beyond blood flow - ED medications: risks and alternatives Products & Resources Mentioned: Dr. Jordan Barber's Book: Thinking In Chinese Medicine: A Patient's Guide to Acupuncture: https://a.co/d/0eLhBT6P [https://a.co/d/0eLhBT6P] Bon Charge Red Light Face Mask: Get 15% off sitewide, plus free shipping and a 12-month warranty, with code WENDY at https://boncharge.com/ [https://boncharge.com/] Organifi Happy Drops: Save 20% with code MYERSDETOX at https://organifi.com/myersdetox [https://organifi.com/myersdetox] Heavy Metals Quiz: Take the quiz at https://heavymetalsquiz.com [https://heavymetalsquiz.com] About Dr. Jordan Barber: Dr. Jordan Barber is a Doctor of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (DAOM) specializing in integrative pain care with a focus on pelvic floor dysfunction, chronic pelvic pain, and complex musculoskeletal conditions.
