What if everything you learned about health and medical school is missing the real secrets to thriving, energetic living?

In this premiere episode of the 2025 season of Health Hacks, Mark L. White pulls back the curtain on cutting-edge approaches that most doctors still aren’t teaching—straight from one of Miami’s leaders in regenerative and functional medicine, Dr. Kendrick Heywood.

Episode Summary:

Join host Mark L. White and guest Dr. Kendrick Heywood for a deep dive into the essential “five pillars” of health—covering everything from individualized nutrition, gene-driven exercise, optimal supplementation, hormone optimization, and breakthrough biohacks. Dr. Heywood reveals how he transitioned from traditional internal medicine to the forefront of anti-aging therapies, why most med schools still neglect these advancements, and how everyday patients (not just athletes!) can radically transform their health outcomes.

Key Highlights:

• Myth-Busting Medicine: Discover why Dr. Heywood says 0% of what he uses today to optimize patient health was taught in med school.
• Personalized Diet & Exercise: Learn why the best approach for you isn’t a fad diet—but a regimen designed for your unique genetic makeup.
• Hormone Optimization Demystified: Get the real story on hormone therapies, peptides, and why targeting the “top end” of health can change everything.
• Next-Level Biohacks: From red light therapy and hypberbaric chambers to exosomes and shockwave treatment—find out which futuristic tools Dr. Heywood recommends and why.
• Behind-the-Scenes Stories: Hear the incredible story of how Dr. Heywood saved NBA legend Dennis Rodman, and what it means to go above and beyond for patient care.

Putting It Into Action—Listener Takeaways:

• Assess Your Pillars: Start by evaluating your own five pillars—are you optimizing each, or stuck in old routines?
• Get Personalized: Consider genetic testing to unlock your best diet and fitness plan, rather than chasing one-size-fits-all trends.
• Explore Biohacks Safely: Research and, if possible, consult with experts about the safest, most effective regenerative therapies (like red light therapy or IV vitamin drips).
• Ask About Hormones & Peptides: If you keep hitting fitness or wellness plateaus, consult a forward-thinking practitioner about hormone and peptide therapies tailored to your needs (not just based on “normal” ranges).
• Connect for Expert Guidance: Follow Dr. Heywood on Instagram (@drkenhaywood) for daily educational tips and updates on the latest in health optimization.

Ready to take your health (and possibly your career) to the next level with strategies most doctors don’t even know exist? Tune in—your path to a more thriving, energetic you starts here.
