Dr. Kyle Gillett joins Dr. Erin to break down the physiology behind testosterone regulation, including how SHBG, free versus total testosterone, and androgen receptor sensitivity influence symptoms, metabolic health, and treatment decisions. They discuss why men with similar lab values can feel very different, how lifestyle and insulin resistance affect hormone metabolism, and when tools like TRT or aromatase inhibitors are actually warranted. This episode focuses on practical, evidence-based mechanisms that help patients and clinicians make informed choices about hormone optimization

497 | Dr. Damon Forbes | Understanding Lipoprotein(a) and Cardiovascular Risk
11/19/2025
51:43
Dr. Erin Faules speaks with Dr. Damon Forbes about Lp(a), a genetically influenced lipoprotein linked to cardiovascular disease risk. They discuss how Lp(a) differs from LDL, its role in plaque and clotting, and why a one-time test can help clarify long-term risk. The conversation covers who to screen and when, interpreting Lp(a) alongside apoB and metabolic health, evidence-based ways to lower overall cardiovascular risk, and emerging Lp(a)-lowering therapies

496 | Ashleigh Di Lello | Rewiring the Nervous System for Healing and Resilience
11/12/2025
56:53
Dr. Erin Faules speaks with Ashleigh Di Lello, creator of Bio Emotional Healing®, about how trauma, stress, and chronic illness can reshape the nervous system and how the brain's capacity to rewire itself supports recovery. They discuss the science of neuroplasticity, the connection between belief and biology, and practical ways to move the body out of chronic stress toward restoration and balance.
495 | Dr. Danny Firth | From Sick Care to Precision Care: A Physician's Shift to Preventive Medicine
11/5/2025
1:00:14
Dr. Jeff Graham speaks with Dr. Danny Firth, a Wild Health physician who transitioned from hospital-based medicine to precision and integrative care. They explore what led him to leave reactive "sick care" for a preventive, data-driven approach using genomics, biomarkers, and lifestyle to keep patients healthy before disease develops. Dr. Firth also shares how he balances work, family, and personal wellness while practicing what he teaches.
494 | Dr. Mattias Bernow | The Science and Safety of Stem Cell Therapy
10/29/2025
54:44
Dr. Jeff Graham talks with Dr. Mattias Bernow, a physician, economist, and CEO of Cellcolabs — about the current state of stem cell therapy. They discuss how mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) function through signaling rather than cell replacement, where evidence supports their use today, and why good manufacturing practices (GMP) are essential for safety and efficacy. The conversation explores clinical data on cardiovascular, autoimmune, and neurodegenerative diseases, and what large-scale, evidence-based production could mean for the future of regenerative medicine.
493 | Nathalie Niddam | How Peptides and Bioregulators Influence Cellular Balance
10/22/2025
1:02:02
Dr. Erin Faules and longevity expert Nathalie Niddam discuss how peptides and bioregulators can help the body maintain equilibrium at the cellular level. They unpack how these small protein molecules influence signaling and gene expression, the difference between supporting adaptation versus overstimulation, and how thoughtful use of these tools fits into a holistic approach to health and aging.
492 | Dr. Damon Forbes | Understanding Lean Mass Hyper-Responders
10/15/2025
36:33
Dr. Jeff Graham sits down with Dr. Damon Forbes to explore the emerging concept of "lean mass hyper-responders"— fit, low-carb individuals who present with unusually high LDL levels. They unpack the physiology behind this pattern, discuss how it differs from familial hypercholesterolemia, and review new data on cardiovascular risk. The conversation offers a nuanced look at how metabolism, diet, and lipid transport intersect in precision medicine.
491 | Joel Greene | The Immunity Code: The Science of Adaptable Nutrition and Metabolic Balance
10/8/2025
1:15:28
In this episode, Dr. Erin Faules speaks with Joel Greene, author of The Immunity Code, about the importance of balance and adaptability in human health. They discuss how real-world factors—time, context, and individual biology—shape sustainable nutrition and fitness strategies. From cycling foods and supplements to aligning with circadian and weekly rhythms, Greene explains how physiological balance supports metabolic health, microbiome diversity, and longevity.
490 | Dr. Tommy Wood | Practical Approaches to Brain Health Across the Lifespan
10/1/2025
1:04:18
Dr. Tommy Wood, physician-scientist and professor of pediatrics and neuroscience at the University of Washington, shares how the brain develops, adapts, and recovers from injury across the lifespan. He explains how genetics, exercise, nutrition, sleep, and other daily habits shape cognitive performance and resilience. Drawing on research and clinical insights, Dr. Wood highlights practical, evidence-based strategies to support brain health at every stage of life.
489 | Michele Miller | Fueling Metabolism Through Reverse Dieting
9/24/2025
51:41
This episode features health coach and nurse Michele Miller in conversation with Dr. Erin. They discuss why eating less isn't always the path to better health, how metabolism adapts to prolonged calorie restriction, and the concept of "reverse dieting"—gradually increasing food intake to support energy, hormone balance, and body composition. The conversation emphasizes practical strategies, like eating breakfast and fueling around exercise, while addressing common fears about eating more.
