Why Millions of Lyme Cases Go Undiagnosed Every Year With Dr. Myriah Hinchey

You can test negative for Lyme over and over. Your bloodwork can look fine. Even your doctor can tell you it's just stress. Meanwhile, the infection keeps doing damage. An estimated 3.5 million Americans go through this every year. Dr. Myriah Hinchey knows that better than most. She was bitten by a tick when she was around ten. Her Lyme test came back negative, and she was sent home. What followed were decades of strange anxiety and brain fog she couldn't explain, until everything finally crashed in her mid-thirties, and even her doctor brushed her off. She had to diagnose herself. Myriah and I get into why the testing for so many of these conditions misses what's going on, and how chronic infections sit underneath everything from autoimmune disease to neurological symptoms that most doctors blame on something else.

How the Way You Breathe Is Shortening Your Life With Dr. John Douillard

Whatever shows up in your bloodwork has usually been building for a long time. The problem with modern medicine is that it steps in at the end of that process, not the beginning. Dr. John Douillard keeps coming back to one single question. Why do we wait so long? Forty years as a chiropractor and Ayurvedic practitioner have convinced him that the body starts dropping hints well before anything shows up on a test, and that most of us have been taught to wave those hints away until there's a real problem to deal with. We dig into where the trouble usually starts, why so much of it traces back to your gut, and what a system that's been around for 5,000 years figured out about the body that our lab work still tends to miss.

The Scientist Trying To Upload The Human Brain, With Dr. Randal Koene

At 13, Randal read a science fiction novel and set out to upload a human brain. The surprising part is how far he's gotten. Dr. Randal Koene is a computational neuroscientist and the founder of the Carbon Copies Foundation, a nonprofit working to preserve and one day emulate the human brain. Not long ago, the idea of keeping someone's memory and identity alive past death sat squarely in the realm of science fiction. Randal is one of the people trying to drag it into the lab. Chris asks him how any of this would work, and Randal explains it in plain terms. Does who you are come down to the brain alone? What can split-brain studies tell us about consciousness being something we narrate to ourselves? And would an uploaded mind still need to sleep? Find out in this episode. "What we experience as consciousness is to a large degree a narrative, a story that we tell ourselves." ~ Dr. Randal Koene Support the show and get 50% off Olive oil with free shipping—just leave us a review on iTunes and Spotify and let us know! https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/live-beyond-the-norms/id1714886566 [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/live-beyond-the-norms/id1714886566] In This Episode: 00:00 Introduction 02:21 Growing up between nuclear reactors and CERN 05:02 The Arthur C.

The Entire Male Population Could Be Infertile in 20 Years, Here's Why

Over the last couple of decades, testosterone levels in men have been declining by 1% every year. Twenty more years of that, and we could be looking at a fully infertile male population. That's what Dr. Tracy Gapin has been sounding the alarm on for years. A board-certified urologist who spent 20+ years in traditional medicine before walking away in 2020, Dr. Gapin founded Peak Launch to address what most doctors won't: the root cause of the symptom. Today's conversation digs into why standard testosterone reference ranges are basically worthless and why "normal" labs are lulling men into a false sense of security. Dr. Gapin also shares what most high performers get wrong about their hormones, their gut health, and the slow cortisol creep nobody warns them about. "A 50-year-old man today has a testosterone level that's about half of what a 50-year-old man had 20 to 30 years ago, and it's declining by about 1% every year." ~ Dr. Tracy Gapin Support the show and get 50% off MCT oil with free shipping—just leave us a review on iTunes and Spotify and let us know! https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/live-beyond-the-norms/id1714886566 [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/live-beyond-the-norms/id1714886566] Resources Mentioned  Doctor 2.0 by Dr. Tracy Gapin (coming October 2026): https://drtracygapin.com/ [https://drtracygapin.com/]  High Performance Health Handbook (free guide): https://peaklaunch.com/guide [https://peaklaunch.com/guide]  About Tracy Gapin Dr. Tracy Gapin is a board-certified urologist and performance medicine expert with over 25 years of clinical experience.

He's also the founder of Peak Launch Institute, training the next generation of physicians, and the author of Male 2.0, with his second book Doctor 2.0, set to release in October 2026.

The Daughter Who Rewrote a Doctor’s Entire Approach to Medicine With Aaron Hartman, MD

What do you do when the medical system you were trained to trust can't save your own daughter? That's the question Dr. Aaron Hartman ran into the day he met his foster daughter Anna. She came into the world facing more than her share of challenges, and doctors told the Hartmans she wouldn't walk, talk, or crawl. When the standard recommendation came down to a feeding tube and a string of surgeries, Aaron and his wife said no. They were reported to Child Protective Services for wanting to feed their daughter food instead. Anna is now 20, and she walks and talks just fine. Her story rebuilt her father's entire approach to medicine. Aaron sits down with Chris to talk about what he's learned along the way and the role healthy fats play in healing the brain. They discuss how the pharmaceutical research world really works from the inside and why purpose may be the most underrated longevity tool we have. "Your body was made to heal. You were made for health.
