Most men think erectile dysfunction is a bedroom problem. It's actually one of the earliest warning signs of cardiovascular disease, capable of showing up three to five years before a heart attack. In this episode, Dr. Gabrielle Lyon sits down with Dr. Amy Pearlman, a urologist trained in men's sexual health, to discuss: Why ED is a symptom of vascular health, not a standalone disease and how the artery feeding the heart is roughly double the size of the one feeding the penis, so problems show u...
Dr. Kevin Maki, former National Lipid Association President, challenges the singular focus on LDL cholesterol, explaining why ApoB and Lp(a) are better predictors of cardiovascular risk and why most people aren't tested for them. He delves into surprising findings on red meat and seed oils, debunking common myths about saturated fat and inflammation. The discussion emphasizes a holistic view, advocating for a balanced diet, consistent exercise, and the "ABCs" (A1c, Blood Pressure, Cholesterol) for true long-term heart health.
Colorectal cancer is now the leading cancer killer in adults under 50, and patients in their 20s are presenting with metastatic disease that has nothing to do with family history. Most physicians are still telling young patients with rectal bleeding that it's probably just hemorrhoids and that's costing lives. In this episode, Dr. Gabrielle Lyon sits down with Dr. Michelle Pearlman, a board-certified gastroenterologist and founder of a Miami-based gastro-metabolic clinic, to discuss: The specifi...
Most parents are quietly paving the road their kids were supposed to learn to walk on by themselves and Jocko Willink has spent 20 years watching what happens when that road is too smooth. In this episode, Dr. Gabrielle Lyon sits down with Jocko Willink, retired Navy SEAL commander, founder of Echelon Front, and bestselling author of Extreme Ownership and Discipline Equals Freedom , to discuss: Why the "apex parent / apex kid" mindset is a quiet trap, and what to do instead of paving the road Ho...
Most men don't know they have a pelvic floor, and most doctors aren't trained to look for dysfunction in it. The result: testicles are being surgically removed for pain that's actually neuropathic, at double the rate of a far more effective nerve-sparing procedure. In this episode, Dr. Gabrielle Lyon sits down with Dr. Susan Macdonald, a board-certified urologist, surgical program director at Penn State, and one of only ~30 U.S. specialists treating chronic pelvic pain in men, to discuss: Why "p...
Most people are chasing the wrong version of strength and paying for it with pain, poor movement, and a body that breaks down faster than it should. In this episode, Dr. Gabrielle Lyon sits down with Mark Bell, elite powerlifter, entrepreneur, and founder of Slingshot, to discuss: Why strength training is essential at every age but most people are defining "strength" too narrowly How modern life has created an "exercise deficiency," and why artificial exercise is the only fix The truth about fat...
We are living through one of the most significant shifts in medicine in generations, and most people don’t fully understand what it means. Dr. Christle Guevarra joins me to zoom out on the entire GLP-1 landscape; from the drug’s origins as a modest diabetes treatment in 2005 to today’s third-generation medications still moving through clinical trials, and what all of it means for the future of obesity, performance, and longevity. 🙌Thank you to our sponsors: 🌍 Cozy Earth - Go to https://bit.ly/...
The moment you decide to show up publicly, you open the door to opinions from people who would never say those things to your face. Dominique Sachse, journalist, author, and content creator who has lived her life on camera for over three decades, gets honest about what it costs to put yourself out there, why online cruelty is a psychology problem more than a content problem, and how “Teflon Dom” developed the thick skin to let none of it redirect her.

Only nine scientists were asked to advise on the 2025 Dietary Guidelines for Americans, and Dr. Tom Brenna was one of them. In this conversation, he pulls back the curtain on how dietary guidelines are actually made, why the process has never been the same twice, and what it was like to watch a decades-old saturated fat recommendation get carried forward despite a lack of evidence supporting it at the level of total mortality. This is the dietary guidelines conversation the internet has been mis...
In a world flooded with conflicting health advice, how do you actually figure out what’s true? Dr. David Allison, one of the most rigorous scientific minds in obesity and nutrition research, shared the exact framework he uses to evaluate evidence, from peer-reviewed trials to podcast recommendations to AI-generated summaries. He explains the difference between trusting science as a process and trusting individual studies, why most nutrition epidemiology functions more like advertising than resea...
Up to 70% of dementia may be preventable, so why aren’t more people talking about what actually drives cognitive decline? In this episode, I’m with Dr. Tommy Wood, neuroscientist and author of “The Stimulated Mind,” to explore the lifestyle levers that protect your brain across a lifetime. Learn how white matter hyperintensities develop and whether they can reverse, what MCTs and ketones actually do for a glucose-starved brain, and why social connection may be the most underrated variable in cog...
Dr. Martin Gibala discusses the science behind high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and sprint interval training (SIT), highlighting their efficiency in improving VO2 max and metabolic health. He critiques the misapplication of athlete-focused "Zone 2" training to the general public, emphasizing practical, time-efficient vigorous activity like "exercise snacks" for optimal health outcomes, even touching upon specific protocols and the role of low glycogen training.
The most decorated woman in motorsports history will tell you she feared losing far more than she loved winning, and that fear is exactly what drove her to the top. In this episode, I’m with racing legend Danica Patrick to unpack the psychology of elite performance, from the “blind faith” that carried her through two decades of racing to the nervous system conditioning she built starting at age 10. What would be possible for you if you learned to channel pressure instead of escaping it? Want ad-...
I’m joined by Dr. Heather Hirsch to debunk the persistent myths surrounding hormone replacement therapy and explain why the 2002 Women’s Health Initiative data was so widely misinterpreted.
