AG 2026 Ep 9 Stem Cells, Longevity & Ancient Wisdom Dr Yi Song on Regenerating the Human Body

In this episode, Sue welcomes Dr. Shawn Talbott, a nutritional biochemist, psycho‑nutritionist, endurance athlete, and one of the leading voices redefining how we understand the microbiome and the gut‑brain‑heart axis.Aging research has transformed in the last five years — and Dr. Shawn is at the center of that shift. His work shows that the microbiome isn’t just about digestion; it’s the control center for mood, stress, inflammation, metabolism, resilience, and long‑term vitality.Together, Sue and Dr. Shawn dive into:Why the gut‑brain‑heart axis is now the core framework for agingHow microbiome composition shapes mental fitness and emotional resilienceThe biochemical drivers of stress, mood, and metabolic healthWhat determines whether we age with resilience or declinePractical ways to support the microbiome for better energy, focus, and longevityThis is a conversation about the future of aging — interconnected, biochemical, and surprisingly accessible.About Dr. Talbott: As a scientist (PhD in Nutritional Biochemistry from Rutgers) and entrepreneur (EMP in Entrepreneurship from MIT), his recent projects include two academic textbooks, an award-winning documentary film, several best-selling books translated into multiple languages, and numerous top-selling nutraceuticals and functional foods.3WavesWellness.comhttps://www.instagram.com/doctalbott/https://www.linkedin.com/in/doctalbott/

In this episode of Anatomical Gangster, Sue sits down with Dr. Yi Song, a physician trained in pathology at Brown University and raised in a 17‑generation lineage of Traditional Chinese Medicine. After decades of clinical work, Dr. Song now leads the Zenerchi Retreat in Colombia, where she blends stem cell therapy, TCM, anti‑aging science, and emotional health into a truly integrative approach to longevity.Together, Sue and Dr. Song explore:Why healthy aging begins with prevention, not repairHow stem cell therapy actually works — and why it’s misunderstoodThe deep connection between mental health, emotional patterns, and cellular repairWhat modern medicine can learn from ancient longevity wisdomWhy personalized, root‑cause care is the future of regenerative medicineDr. Song’s philosophy, The Regeneration Effect, invites us to rethink aging as something we can influence — physically, emotionally, and energetically.This conversation is a bridge between science and spirit, East and West, and the inner and outer forces that shape how we age.

Fresh off the Lake Nona Impact Forum — one of the most influential gatherings in health, wellness, and medical innovation — Sue sits down with poet, spiritual director, and cultural strategist Marquis Hunt, founder of G6‑22, a global movement built on a powerful idea: the world is not shaped in the rare moments of ritual, but in the six days and 22 hours where we actually live, choose, and create. His concept of money sobriety reframes our relationship with worth, identity, scarcity, and the emotional stories we inherit around money.Sue reflects on her time at LNIF, where she led a MELT Morning Reset alongside world‑shaping speakers including Serena Williams, Gary Brecka, Juju Chang, Neil deGrasse Tyson, Patrick Kennedy, Emma Heming Willis, Jon Batiste, and many others. The standout moment came from Dr. David Fajgenbaum, whose groundbreaking work in repurposing treatments for cancer and rare diseases earned him this year’s Impact Award — a story that has inspired Sue since they first met three years ago.That same year, Sue also met today’s guest, Marquis Hunt, whose work continues to challenge and expand how we think about creativity, culture, and the choices that shape our lives.In this conversation, Sue and Marquis explore:Why money sobriety is really about identity, belonging, and emotional truthHow culture is built in the everyday moments where choices accumulateWhy creativity is not a luxury but a force that shapes the futureHow G6‑22 equips innovators and visionaries to sustain their workWhat it means to live awake in the six days and 22 hours outside of ritualThis episode is an invitation to rethink money, creativity, and culture through a lens that is honest, liberating, and deeply human.Settle in and enjoy this conversation with Marquis Hunt.

In this episode of Anatomical Gangster, Sue Hitzmann sits down with her friend and colleague Carrie Lupoli, founder of Disruptive Nutrition, behavior‑change educator, and author of a powerful new book reshaping how we think about food, metabolism, and self‑trust.Together, they unpack why traditional dieting fails, how emotional patterns shape our relationship with food, and what it really takes to fuel the body in a way that supports biology instead of fighting it. Carrie breaks down the science of sustainable nourishment, metabolic stability, and behavior design in a way that feels accessible, compassionate, and deeply human.If you’re ready to step out of diet culture and into a more embodied, sustainable relationship with food, this conversation will change the way you think about nourishment.Carrie Lupoli is a certified nutritionist, award-winning behavior specialist, and international speaker committed to disrupting the diet industry.

In this episode of Anatomical Gangster, Sue Hitzmann sits down with Dr. Steven Radowitz — Chief Medical Officer at Nushama and a physician with more than 30 years of experience bridging internal medicine, trauma‑informed care, and psychedelic‑assisted therapy.Together, they explore how ketamine creates a window where biology, emotion, and consciousness meet. Dr. Radowitz breaks down the science behind ketamine‑assisted therapy, why it’s helping people who feel stuck in long‑standing patterns, and how preparation and integration shape the healing process.Sue brings her fascia‑forward lens to the conversation, diving into how trauma lives in the body, how safety shapes perception, and what it means to truly unwind emotional patterns that talk therapy alone can’t reach.If you’re curious about psychedelic‑assisted wellness, the biology of safety, or the deeper intelligence of the human system, this episode will expand your understanding of what healing can look like.Subscribe, share, and leave a comment — it helps this show grow and helps others learn to thrive in this modern world of insanity.

In this episode of Anatomical Gangster, Sue Hitzmann sits down with John Sinclair — co‑founder and Chief Movement Officer of Seven Movements — to explore the science and simplicity of microdosing movement. Once a trainer who spent hours a day in the gym, Sue shares how life, work, and longevity shifted her perspective toward small, intentional bouts of movement woven throughout the day.John breaks down the research behind movement snacking, behavior design, and why tiny, repeatable inputs can create massive change in the nervous system, fascia, and overall well‑being. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by the idea of “working out,” this conversation will change the way you think about movement forever.Subscribe, share, and leave a comment — it helps this podcast grow and helps others learn to thrive in this modern world of insanity.

What if movement isn’t something we do — but something we’re in relationship with? In this episode of Anatomical Gangster, Sue sits down with Peter Stuart, a movement educator and somatic practitioner whose work bridges fascia, emotion, and the deeper intelligence of the human body.Peter has spent decades exploring how we move, why we move the way we do, and how the stories we carry shape our physical expression. His approach blends anatomy, awareness, and the subtle art of listening to the body’s internal landscape.Together, Sue and Peter dive into:Why movement is fundamentally relational — with gravity, with environment, with emotionHow fascia shapes not just structure, but perception and behaviorThe ways the body stores memory and how movement can unlock itWhat practitioners often miss when they focus on technique instead of connectionHow to cultivate somatic intelligence in a world that pulls us out of our bodiesWhy healing requires curiosity, not perfectionThe future of movement education and the role of embodiment in human evolutionPeter’s insights remind us that the body is not a machine — it’s a living, adaptive, expressive system in constant conversation with everything around it.If this episode sparks something in you, share it with someone who loves exploring the body as deeply as we do.
