Redefining Medicine
On the next episode of Redefining Medicine, we are excited to feature Dr. Diane Ginsberg, a leading voice in pre- and perimenopause care and a strong advocate for rethinking how we approach women’s hormonal health. IIn this episode, Dr. Ginsberg challenges the traditional reliance on standard blood testing, explaining how hormone levels - particularly estrogen - can fluctuate significantly and still appear “normal” on conventional lab results. She highlights how these fluctuations can profoundly impact the brain and overall well-being, often leaving women misdiagnosed or...

In this episode of the Innovations and Clinical Implementation podcast, Dr. Lexi Gonzales and Dr. Sunjya Schweig discuss the shift for clinicians from passively consuming AI to actively building custom tools to improve patient outcomes and reduce clinical friction. Key topics include the use of custom GPTs created by uploading specific data, the potential of "vibe coding" for building apps with natural language, and the evolution of AI scribes like as a "second brain." The conversation also addresses challenges in integrating AI with legacy EMRs, the push for "health record equity," and...

In this episode of the Innovations and Clinical Implementation podcast recorded at LongevityFest 2025, hosts Dr. Lexi Gonzales and Tom Blue explore the frontier of liposomal peptide therapy with Dr. Christopher Shade—the founder and CEO of and an internationally recognized expert on environmental toxicants who pioneered the use of lipid-based nanoparticle delivery systems. Dr. Shade argues that "inflammaging" and endotoxemia often block the efficacy of standard hormone therapies by downregulating receptors, and he advocates for using specific liposomal peptides like BPC-157, KPV, and...
info_outlineOn the next episode of Redefining Health, we’ll be joined by Christopher Davis to dive into the fascinating topic of metabolic health—what it truly means and how practitioners can effectively discuss it with their patients.
Metabolic health is deeply tied to mitochondrial function, the "powerhouses" of our cells that drive energy production. When mitochondrial health is compromised, it can lead to a range of issues, from poor energy levels to chronic diseases. Factors such as oxidative stress, poor diet, lack of exercise, and environmental toxins all play a role in mitochondrial dysfunction.
In this episode, we’ll explore:
-
What metabolic health really means and why it’s essential for overall well-being.
-
How practitioners can simplify the concept for patients and emphasize the importance of lifestyle factors like diet, exercise, and stress management.
-
The role of VO2 Max as a powerful yet underutilized tool for assessing cardiovascular and metabolic health.
VO2 Max, which measures the body’s ability to utilize oxygen during exercise, is one of the best indicators of mitochondrial and cardiovascular health. Despite its value, it’s not used enough in clinical practice. We’ll discuss why this metric matters and how it can be integrated into patient care to provide a more comprehensive picture of health.
Join us for this insightful conversation as we redefine what it means to achieve and maintain metabolic health.
