  #61 - The Cellular Secret to Better Aging

  Aug 12, 20261h 5m

  Everyone worries about losing muscle as they age. Almost everyone is worried about the wrong thing . Dr. Brad Currier has spent his career studying what actually keeps us strong and functional into our 70s, 80s, and 90s. He earned his PhD under Professor Stuart Phillips, helped write the latest ACSM resistance training guidelines, and now leads clinical research at Timeline in Switzerland. In this episode of Thrive on Plants, Dr. Daphne Bascom asks him the questions most people never think to ask. The answers reframe how you should think about aging, from your muscles all the way down to the power plants inside your cells. No hype. No overpromising. Just a clear-eyed look at what the science supports, what it doesn't yet, and what you can do about it starting this week. Here's what you'll learn: Why the number on your DEXA scan may be lying to you about how well you'll age The difference between muscle mass, muscle strength, and muscle power, and why the last one decides whether you catch yourself when you trip A strength test you can run in under a minute, no lab required What mitochondria actually do, beyond the line you memorized in high school biology Mitophagy: the cellular cleanup crew you lose with age, and why it may matter more than any supplement The pomegranate problem: why loading up on the "right" foods may not give you what you think The truth about urolithin A, including where the evidence is strong and where it's still an open question The single longevity metric Dr. Currier calls unreliable and clinically useless About Dr. Brad Currier: Dr. Currier leads clinical research at Timeline, a Switzerland-based company studying cellular and mitochondrial health. His background is in muscle physiology, aging, and nutrition.

  #60 - The Adaptive Fuel: How Exogenous Ketones Support Healthspan

  Jul 29, 20261h 5m

  Beta-hydroxybutyrate, the primary ketone your body produces, is turning out to be one of the most compelling molecules in longevity and healthspan science. It fuels your brain when glucose falls short. It influences gene expression. It signals your cells to burn fat more efficiently. And a single dose has been shown to improve cardiac output, ejection fraction, and stroke volume in patients with heart failure. Dr. Latt Mansor grew up in Malaysia surrounded by chronic disease. His father died of a stroke when he was 17. His half-brother died of a heart attack at 43. His mother's side of the family carries decades of obesity and diabetes. That personal history took him from Oxford, where he studied the diabetic heart under low-oxygen conditions, to leading a $6 million Department of Defense contract on exogenous ketones and elite military performance. Now he has come full circle, using what peak-performance science has revealed to help build the case for prevention. Dr. Mansor holds a DPhil from the University of Oxford and serves as Research Director at H.V.M.N., the company behind Ketone IQ. In this conversation, we cover: What exogenous ketones actually are and how they differ from the endogenous ketones your body already makes How beta-hydroxybutyrate acts as a signaling molecule that binds directly to DNA and why a recent transcriptomics analysis showed it affected up to 300 genes The brain energy implications for women navigating perimenopause and menopause Exogenous ketones and GLP-1 receptor agonists: can they work together to protect lean mass and reduce brain fog during weight loss New unpublished appetite suppression data showing Ketone IQ's direct effects on GLP-1, ghrelin, and leptin Why Dr. Mansor calls it "the adaptive fuel" and what that means for how you use it The research on exogenous ketones is still catching up to the biology. The long-term human data is incomplete. But the mechanistic rationale is compelling, the early clinical signals are hard to ignore, and this conversation will give you the scientific foundation to decide whether any of it belongs in your longevity supplement stack.

  #58 - Could Yeast Replace Whey? The Science and the Story Behind Spacemilk

  Jul 1, 20261h 22m

  What if the cleanest, most complete protein you could eat wasn't made from animals, plants, or soil at all? In this episode, Dr. Daphne sits down with Walter Ross, founder and CEO of Spacemilk, to explore a category of protein most people have never heard of: single-cell yeast protein, grown in a closed-loop tank of water, free of heavy metals, pesticides, allergens, and the resource footprint of conventional agriculture. Walter is not a food scientist. He studied economics, went to law school, and grew up watching his father pioneer hydroponic heirloom tomatoes in South Florida. The through-line? A relentless drive to find a better way. That instinct led him to baker's yeast, one of the oldest organisms in human food history, and to building what he believes is the cleanest protein powder on the market today. We cover a lot of ground in this conversation: How yeast protein is actually made, from a molasses-fed fermentation tank to a finished isolate, and why that process naturally removes purines, histamines, and heavy metals that accumulate in soil-grown proteins. Why Walter named the company Spacemilk, and the moment at a space conference that reframed everything he was building. The randomized controlled trial data comparing yeast protein to whey for lean muscle mass, and what the research actually shows. The environmental math: 40% less water and land use than soy, 97% less than beef, and a certified upcycled supply chain where nothing goes to waste. Why he third-party tests every single batch for heavy metals, 77 pesticides, molds, mycotoxins, and allergens, and why he thinks most companies simply do not. The formulation decisions behind every ingredient, from monk fruit and thaumatin to acacia fiber and algae-based omegas, and what is changing in the next product version. What living with purpose means to him, and why he believes the root of all meaning is in giving back more than you take. This is one of those conversations that quietly shifts how you think about where your food comes from.

  #57 - What Every Cancer Patient Should Know About Exercise

  Jun 17, 20261h 15m

  What if the most powerful cancer-fighting tool isn't a drug, it's your muscle? Exercise oncologist Sami Mansfield spent 23 years building programs inside cancer centers and co-authoring ASCO guidelines before most oncologists were willing to have this conversation. In this episode, she joins Dr. Daphne Bascom to cover what your care team probably hasn't told you about movement, muscle, menopause, and what it actually takes to prevent cancer and thrive after it. Whether you have a diagnosis, are caring for someone who does, or are simply committed to protecting your health in midlife and beyond, this conversation will change how you think about your body. In this episode, you will learn: Why "rest and eat whatever you want" is one of the most harmful things an oncology team can say The minimum effective dose of movement Sami starts every patient with (it's 5 minutes and it works) Why muscle loss during treatment may occur and how to prevent it How to track your muscle health at home for under $35 The difference between cancer detection and cancer prevention (and why 364 days matter more than your annual screening) Sami's "bookend" method for protecting sleep during treatment and menopause ….and more!

  <p><b>What if the healthcare system was never actually designed to make you healthy?</b></p><p>Dr. Zeev Neuwirth spent decades inside major health systems as a physician, Chief Medical Officer, and Population Health Officer. What he found there shocked him, then frustrated him, then ultimately set him free.</p><p>In this conversation, Dr. Neuwirth breaks down three phases of his career-long awakening: from realizing that even world-class hospitals were failing patients relationally, to discovering that improving healthcare delivery was not the same as improving health, to his most unsettling realization of all: that the entire system...
