This episode is brought to you by InsideTracker and Athletic Greens. For many of us, it can be a challenge to express what we really think, even in our most important relationships, because we seek to avoid conflict or disappointment.

Biohacking is all the rage, but if you’re not doing it correctly, you could wind up causing more harm than good.

Sometimes less is more, and...

I often hear from patients, “I’ve hit a stubborn weight-loss plateau; even though I seem to be doing everything right, like eating the right foods and exercising, I’m not losing weight.

This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health and Mitopure. Our biology is designed to function in very particular ways. With our modern lifestyles, most of us simply aren’t getting enough of the good things we need—the things that are designed to help us thrive.

This episode is brought to you by Paleovalley, ButcherBox, and Athletic Greens. Many of us turn to food as a form of comfort, whether it’s due to not being able to tolerate difficult feelings or not having other forms of pleasure, and it leads to a dependence on using food to soothe and disconnect from our emotions.
