In this episode, we’re entering the era of drug therapy for weight loss—though these treatments have been available for over 50 years. Many doctors have been hesitant to use them, and societal bias has contributed to that reluctance. We’ll discuss the different drug treatment options available today, examine the long-term risks associated with them, and provide guidance on managing medications after reaching your target weight. This episode will expand your understanding of how pharmacology can play a role in sustainable weight loss.

Medical screening often seems like a logical step—finding issues early, even when you feel healthy, should help prevent problems, right? Unfortunately, that’s not always the case. Many of us have been driven by fear and an overreliance on modern medicine to get tests that may cause more harm than good and don’t significantly prevent bad outcomes. In this episode, I’ll break down four common tests that may not be as beneficial as they seem and explain why you should reconsider, or even avoid, them.

In this episode, we’ll explore the different methods of administering hormone therapy—whether by injection, oral pills, topical creams, or pellets.

In 1971, Richard Nixon requested $100 million to find a cure for cancer, but over 50 years later, cancer rates have surged, especially among younger people and with breast cancer at epidemic levels. What went wrong? Cancer is a cellular disease, and waiting for tumors to appear before attempting to kill them isn't the best strategy. Evidence suggests cancer was rare before the industrial age, indicating modern factors have worsened its prevalence. This episode explores an alternative approach for living healthier lives with less cancer.

Libido, sex drive, and desire are essential parts of human existence, yet they are often misunderstood. In this episode, we’ll explore the key factors that contribute to a healthy sex drive and what is considered normal when it comes to sexual desire and activity.

Ozzy Osbourne is receiving stem cell treatment for his Parkinson's disease, a condition with no cure—much like arthritis, heart disease, autoimmune disorders, and aging itself. Stem cells, known for their ability to repair damaged cells, offer hope for many chronic conditions. Research shows stem cells are safe and potentially beneficial in treating a wide range of illnesses, including liver and lung disease, arthritis, and frailty from aging. This episode will help you understand how stem cells, once reserved for the wealthy, are now accessible to everyday people as part of an anti-aging lifestyle.

Conventional medicine often addresses joint and tendon injuries by masking pain with drugs that can actually accelerate tissue decay over time. However, in the last decade, we’ve made great strides in regenerative medicine—offering treatments that can restore joint health, regrow cartilage, and make tendons and ligaments more elastic without surgery or pharmaceuticals. The challenge is that traditional healthcare systems are tied to insurance reimbursement models. This episode will explore regenerative options like shockwave therapy, ozone, PRP, and stem cells, helping you choose the right path for lasting musculoskeletal health.

If a substance is natural, it's unlikely to make it into mainstream medicine. If it can’t be patented or turned into a highly profitable product, it often gets overlooked—such is the case with ozone. Despite its remarkable healing properties, ability to kill bacteria, fungi, and viruses, and its benefits for joint regeneration and immune support, ozone isn’t widely used. Medical-grade ozone, used in anti-aging and regenerative therapies, can help the body heal without surgery or toxic drugs, making it an essential tool in holistic medicine.

For 70 years, prostate cancer treatments have relied on removing the prostate and using biopsies to hunt for cancer cells. While these methods seem logical and have become standard, they haven't proven to cure the cancer or extend life, and they often cause harm through biopsies, surgery, or radiation. How did we end up here? Is there a better way? At Intellectual Medicine, we offer an alternative approach that avoids invasive procedures. This episode will give you a fresh perspective on managing prostate health and making informed decisions about your care.

Understanding your obesity type can greatly improve your weight loss journey. After 30 years of treating obesity, I’ve identified three primary types of obesity, with most people having a dominant type, and some experiencing a combination. In this episode, we’ll explore how knowing your specific type can guide treatment decisions and lead to success with the Intellectual Medicine approach. The right diagnosis is crucial in finding the most effective treatment, and identifying your obesity type is an essential first step.

Many doctors and patients rely too heavily on blood tests to assess testosterone levels. In reality, only two key factors truly determine whether testosterone is adequate, and in this podcast, you’ll learn both. With this knowledge, you can decide if it's time to restore your youthful testosterone levels. Additionally, I’ll cover important medical headlines, including the risks of unknown toxins like coal residue and microplastics, as well as the latest FDA-approved drug for Alzheimer’s and why it should be avoided.

Since its discovery in the 1990s, sirolimus (Rapamune) has fascinated scientists with its potential to extend life and slow aging. Research in labs and studies with mammals, including dogs, has shown life extension up to 30%, along with preserved vitality. The compelling evidence has led many to adopt it as part of their anti-aging routines, with promising results. Sirolimus, taken once a week, is affordable, has few side effects, and is gaining momentum. This podcast explores the science, philosophy, and evidence behind its use. We’ll also cover medical headlines, including surprising risks of cancer treatments.

We all have stem cells, vital to our body’s natural regeneration process, but their levels decline as we age. Should we consider boosting these levels with stem cell infusions? What role do stem cells play in joint regeneration or reversing chronic conditions like heart failure or cognitive impairment? In this episode, we explore these questions and the differences between stem cells available domestically and overseas. We’ll also dive into new studies on testosterone, prostate cancer, and lung cancer screening—are they more risky than helpful?

Dementia is often seen as a looming threat of aging, but brain decline is not inevitable. Our brains are designed to function well throughout our lives, and any cognitive loss should be addressed swiftly. Unfortunately, despite extensive research, conventional medicine and big pharma have yet to provide a solution. In this episode, we explore the potential of methylene blue, a repurposed generic drug with compelling evidence supporting its role in brain health, cognitive support, and anti-aging. Plus, we’ll dive into the latest anti-aging headlines.

The weight loss drug revolution is here, driven by Big Pharma with new drugs like Ozempic, Wegovy, semaglutide, and tirzepatide being marketed as the solution to national obesity. While effective, at $1,500 a month, these drugs may not always be the best first option. Older, cheaper medications have shown similar success. In this episode, we discuss "sequential polypharmacy"—using different drugs as your body adapts, continuing weight loss success. We’ll also explore side effects and how to avoid them, along with the debate between wild vs. farmed salmon and disturbing water safety news.

When it comes to testosterone therapy for men, myths often overshadow the facts.

Treating thyroid issues based solely on labs can miss the mark. In this podcast, we’ll break down how the thyroid works and guide you in having a more informed conversation with your doctor.
