What if biohacking and AI revealed you were aging 18 years faster than you thought? Most high performers assume they’re doing fine. You exercise. You eat well. Your labs come back “normal.”

And yet your biology could be aging faster than your calendar.

In this episode, I sit down with Dave Pascoe, the famous biohacker who has one of the slowest measured rates of aging in the world. At the end of an intensive health retreat in India, he shares his latest discoveries and methods on how he supercharges his rejuvenation and maintains his bio-regeneration edge.

Dave tracks close to 1,000 blood markers, has sequenced his entire genome, and uses AI to analyze his labs, wearables, and supplement protocols.

We talk about why “normal range” may be far too low a standard and how chronic stress can accelerate aging, even when someone looks fit on the outside. We also explore how artificial intelligence can help organize massive amounts of health data in ways the human brain simply cannot.

And we challenge a core belief in Western medicine, asking whether joint damage truly requires replacement or if the body may still have more capacity to repair than we’ve been told.

Dave talks about:

• 00:00 Regenerative medicine can prevent unnecessary joint replacement
• 02:10 Luxury health retreats now compress months of testing into days
• 05:10 Telomeres reveal accelerated aging in “healthy” people
• 07:00 Chronic stress can age the body faster than poor fitness
• 08:45 Mindset shifts measurably reduce biological stress
• 10:40 Tracking biomarkers beats symptom-based health decisions
• 16:35 AI enables real-time health optimization across health data
• 22:30 Smarter supplement protocols balance precision and practicality

Healing is not passive.

In this episode, I speak with Steve White, founder of Brae 100, about what it actually takes to recover from serious illness, brain injury, and emotional collapse. Steve shares his personal experience with multiple concussions, cognitive decline, seizures, and depression, and how those challenges led him to build a structured, long-term approach to healing.

We discuss why quick fixes fail, why patients must actively participate in their care, and how purpose, community, and sustained effort can meaningfully change health outcomes.

In This Episode, I Discuss:

• Steve’s journey from professional football to brain injury and recovery (03:15)
• Stacking multiple therapies instead of relying on a single treatment approach (09:05)
• What Brae 100 is and why 100 days matters (12:00)
• Why healing has no plateau and no finish line (12:10)
• The role of purpose, community, and caring for others in recovery (19:10)
• Why patients must take ownership of their health (22:40)
• Living one day at a time as a strategy for emotional resilience (30:35)
• Caring for others as a catalyst for physical and emotional healing (34:50)

In this Q&A episode, I share how I think about healing injuries through a regenerative and whole-body approach. I explain why simply treating the painful area is often not enough, and how inflammation, immune health, nutrient status, and mitochondrial function can determine whether the body truly repairs itself.

I also answer questions about stem cells vs exosomes, the role of peptides in musculoskeletal healing, and how lifestyle factors like food, stress, and metabolic health influence long-term outcomes.

Topics include:

• Stem cells for tendon and labrum injuries (01:45)
• Systemic vs local regenerative treatments (03:10)
• Peptides for tissue repair and recovery (06:50)
• Nutrition, inflammation, and metabolic health (24:05)
• Supplements, brain health, and mood support (33:35)
• Advanced regenerative therapies used in my clinic (48:40)
