Predicting the Future: How Data Science Guides Decisions in Markets and Health

How do you make smart decisions when the future is uncertain? In this episode, Greg sits down with his co-hosts David Vogel (CEO) and Barry Miller (President) of Voloridge Investment Management and Voloridge Health, along with Lead Strategy Manager Daniel Hammack, for a conversation about how data science helps guide decisions in complex systems like financial markets and human health. Daniel shares his journey from being Voloridge Investment Management’s first intern to becoming a Lead Strategy Manager working on predictive modeling. The conversation also explores his experience placing second in a global competition predicting lung disease outcomes, offering an interesting bridge between modeling biological systems and financial markets. Together, the group spends most of the episode unpacking what data science actually is in plain English. They discuss how predictive models work, why probabilities matter more than certainty, and why a system that is right just slightly more than half the time can still produce powerful long-term results. They also explore the risks of groupthink in both finance and health, how data-driven thinking can challenge widely accepted narratives, and why improving the quality of decisions over time may be the most important edge we have. This is a thoughtful conversation about uncertainty, independent thinking, and how data science can help us make better decisions in an increasingly complex world.

The Stimulated Mind: Dr. Tommy Wood on Brain Health, Resilience, and Predicting Cognitive Decline

In this powerhouse episode of Vitality Vision podcast, we’re joined by world-renowned neuroscientist Dr. Tommy Wood, just days after his appearances on The Tim Ferriss Show and The Joe Rogan Experience. Tommy sits down with Greg Bennett, David Vogel, and Barry Miller for a deep, wide-ranging conversation that unpacks the science and action steps behind his upcoming book, The Stimulated Mind (releasing March 2026 — pre-order here [https://www.amazon.com/Stimulated-Mind-Future-Proof-Brain-Dementia/dp/B0FGK38RYS/ref=sr_1_1?adgrpid=190269997350&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.i4Kvc0MzYRZtQq7ezQ692DO6GvT2H7eMHtl3ppxEO3vN0HC9UWvR6XJgnTY5B-21ivRetN4fw1rLkJWcrzdohYd4MAxMcSbIvVxBPP02H8R9svuKrpTHMlGibhkHxY6-3Q60Rp4GDpB3mxuTdEZYEyc0HH1ghywkd_KAet1Ifq-BMOMkFs0jTBXWqECPvYluKGP4WBjoO8PSd5KW4YoS9bRsHjP5nyNPgobgtLrzZFk.FtfTOZAQ8WmQgbT7cuQRRgSQeoAX9L-eh2KmlBi5vnk&dib_tag=se&hvadid=779676561506&hvdev=c&hvexpln=0&hvlocphy=9012003&hvnetw=g&hvocijid=16319703094917708917--&hvqmt=e&hvrand=16319703094917708917&hvtargid=kwd-2440655612138&hydadcr=22538_13730679_8220&keywords=the+stimulated+mind&mcid=abd2b03c2d3033749799610ba3c5ab14&qid=1770997452&sr=8-1]). This episode covers: * Why brain health and cognitive decline must become a central focus in proactive care * How stress, resilience, and neuroplasticity shape long-term performance * The most predictive biomarkers for dementia and how to test them * Data from Voloridge Health’s real-world research and what it’s revealing * What “normal” vs. “optimal” really means in your health data * How to take action, even late in life, to protect and improve brain function Whether you’re a data geek, a healthspan enthusiast, or someone who simply wants to age with a sharp mind, this episode is packed with insights, practical takeaways, and cutting-edge science. Listen now,  and get ready to future-proof your brain.

11. Heart of a Champion: Resilience, Recovery, and the Power of Proactive Health

In this powerful and inspiring episode, Greg and Barry sit down with world-class triathlete Timothy O’Donnell, whose athletic career includes podiums at the IRONMAN World Championships and years competing at the highest level of endurance sport.  But Tim’s most remarkable story didn’t happen on a podium — it happened in the middle of a race, when he suffered a widowmaker heart attack, a condition with only a 12% survival rate. Tim not only survived — he came back stronger, and now uses his platform to advocate for proactive, preventative health. This episode explores Tim’s journey through elite sport, the day that changed his life forever, and the mindset he used to reset, reframe, and rebuild. You’ll hear how he’s shifted from purely performance-driven metrics to a deeper focus on healthspan, longevity, and monitoring key biomarkers. The conversation also brings Voloridge Health’s mission into focus — combining personal stories with our commitment to using data science and predictive scores to stay ahead of disease. We revisit the five biomarkers we believe everyone should track, and how insights from tools like Volo Age and Volo Scores are helping people take control of their health before symptoms even arise. Whether you're an athlete, a weekend warrior, or just someone looking to live longer and live better — this episode delivers insights, emotion, and a call to action.

10. The Biomarkers That Matter: What We’re Building, Learning, and Where We’re Headed

In this episode of Vitality Vision, host Greg Bennett sits down with Voloridge Health President Barry Miller and CEO/Chief Science Officer David Vogel to reflect on a pivotal moment for the company — from a standout presence at the Eudemonia Longevity Summit to the road ahead in 2026.  They break down the five biomarkers every health-conscious person should know — Cystatin C, HgbA1c, hsCRP, GGT, and ApoB — and why these often-overlooked metrics may be more powerful than the ones we’ve been trained to track.  Along the way, they share how it felt to introduce Voloridge Health to the broader wellness world, what resonated most with attendees, and why this felt like a true "coming out moment" for the company. The conversation also explores Voloridge’s product evolution, scientific breakthroughs, and bigger mission: to shift healthcare from reactive to predictive, and give people the tools to live with energy, clarity, and purpose. Whether you're an early adopter of wearables and bloodwork, or just starting to explore your own health data, this episode delivers practical insight and big-picture perspective on where proactive health is going next.

9. Functional Medicine for Everyone: A Conversation with Amy R. Mack, CEO of Institute for Functional Medicine.

In this episode of Vitality Vision by Volo, host Greg Bennett is joined by Voloridge Health’s CEO & CSO David Vogel and President Barry Miller for a conversation with Amy R. Mack, CEO of The Institute for Functional Medicine (IFM) — the leading voice for functional medicine for more than 30 years.     Amy’s leadership journey spans public service, nonprofit impact, and now functional medicine — where she’s on a mission to make personalized, root-cause care available to everyone, not just the elite few.    Together, we dive into:  * What functional medicine actually is — and how it differs from conventional care  * Amy’s personal journey and why she believes this movement matters now more than ever  * The work IFM is doing to train clinicians, influence policy, and expand access  * Why functional medicine is for everyone — not just biohackers or the wealthy  * What’s broken in our $4.5T healthcare system — and how to start fixing it  * Where the future of medicine is headed: AI, data science, systems biology & beyond  * A rapid-fire Underrated/Overrated segment on health trends like cold plunges, CGMs, and personalized supplements.  We also reflect on what gives us hope, how to align incentives with prevention, and why 2026 should be the year we all double down on taking ownership of our health.
