Behind the Biohacks: Dr. Kendrick Heywood’s Insights on Diet, Exercise, Supplements, and Regenerative Therapy

  What if everything you learned about health and medical school is missing the real secrets to thriving, energetic living? In this premiere episode of the 2025 season of Health Hacks, Mark L. White pulls back the curtain on cutting-edge approaches that most doctors still aren’t teaching—straight from one of Miami’s leaders in regenerative and functional medicine, Dr. Kendrick Heywood. Episode Summary: Join host Mark L. White and guest Dr. Kendrick Heywood for a deep dive into the essential “five pillars” of health—covering everything from individualized nutrition, gene-driven exercise, optimal supplementation, hormone optimization, and breakthrough biohacks. Dr. Heywood reveals how he transitioned from traditional internal medicine to the forefront of anti-aging therapies, why most med schools still neglect these advancements, and how everyday patients (not just athletes!) can radically transform their health outcomes. Key Highlights: Myth-Busting Medicine: Discover why Dr. Heywood says 0% of what he uses today to optimize patient health was taught in med school. Personalized Diet & Exercise: Learn why the best approach for you isn’t a fad diet—but a regimen designed for your unique genetic makeup.

Putting It Into Action—Listener Takeaways: Assess Your Pillars: Start by evaluating your own five pillars—are you optimizing each, or stuck in old routines?

Explore Biohacks Safely: Research and, if possible, consult with experts about the safest, most effective regenerative therapies (like red light therapy or IV vitamin drips). Ask About Hormones & Peptides: If you keep hitting fitness or wellness plateaus, consult a forward-thinking practitioner about hormone and peptide therapies tailored to your needs (not just based on “normal” ranges).

More about this episode: We have all faced unprecedented challenges during the pandemic, and now more than ever, it is critical to prioritize our health and wellbeing while maintaining high performance. To address this reality the purpose and focus of the book is on helping people to have better energy and health via optimizing our mitochondria so that we can all create an upward spiral of wellness and peak performance. When we look into the physiology it becomes apparent that our health and human potential is 4 billion years in the making. Our mitochondria are small structures in all our cells that create the energy that we use to move, to think, to perform and to lead. The wonderful thing is that we can make create more of them to get more energy, we can make them stronger so we are more resilient, and we can heal them so we can be healthier in mind and body. The key principles in Powerhouse are all based on the physiology of “hormesis” – simply that a little is good, a lot is not. For example, 3 minutes of meditation each day can improve brain function. Five minutes of cold water can sharpen your focus and improve mental health. A 15-minute walk decreases your risk of cancer but also improves problem solving and innovation thinking. Small micro wins daily can lead to exponential gains in health and wellbeing. The Powerhouse book is grounded in the latest scientific research and demonstrates how to elevate your energy, shift from tension to flow, and build your performance capacity. Through the framework of breathe, move, energize, and thrive, I’ve tried my best to show people how to take concrete steps towards healthy high performance. Key Learnings: • Why the science of human energy is 4 billion years in the making.  • How to breathe for relaxation, focus and consistent energy. • How activity can spark concentration, creativity, and innovation. • How stress can be a powerful spark for positive mental and physical growth. • What practices lead to a life where we can thrive personally and professionally.
