Chris Burres: Revitalizing Your Approach to Longevity 03/23/2026

Caleb Granger: Exosomes: The Natural Solution for Healing and Regeneration 03/16/2026

Caleb Granger: Exosomes: The Natural Solution for Healing and Regeneration This week, Tee welcomes , the founder and President of , to explore the emerging science behind stem cell-derived exosomes and their potential role in healing, regeneration, and longevity. Caleb explains that many forms of chronic decline are not simply the result of aging, but of reduced cellular communication and diminished regenerative signaling in the body. Caleb breaks down the science behind exosomes, which are nano-sized particles released by stem cells that carry proteins, growth factors, and biological instructions that help coordinate repair and healing across tissues and organs. Drawing on more than 25 years of experience working on the business side of spine, neurosurgery, orthopedic surgery, and medical device innovation, Caleb explains the difference between stem cell therapy and exosome therapy. Much of the healing potential associated with stem cells comes from the signals they release rather than the cells themselves. Because exosomes are acellular, they cannot replicate or transfer full genetic information, which many researchers believe may make them a safer way to deliver regenerative signals. Tee and Caleb also discuss how exosomes are sourced from donated placental and umbilical tissue, and screened rigorously to maintain the highest safety standards. The conversation also explores how exosome therapies may help address systemic inflammation and support recovery in conditions such as joint degeneration, cartilage damage, tendon and ligament injuries, neurological conditions, tinnitus, and metabolic disorders like type 2 diabetes. Caleb also shares insights on delivery methods, including IV therapy and injections, and explains why these therapies remain largely outside traditional insurance coverage and how he and his team are looking to change that!

Dr. Chris DeArmitt: PLASTIC: Debunking the Myths and Misinformation 03/09/2026

Dr. Chris DeArmitt: PLASTIC: Debunking the Myths and Misinformation This week, Tee sits down with , founder of the and author of and (both available as free PDFs), to unpack some of the most persistent myths surrounding plastics, microplastics, waste, and human health. Dr. DeArmitt explains that his work began after his daughters were taught in school that plastics do not degrade, a claim he says is false and led him to independently review roughly 6,000 scientific studies, sharing primary sources publicly to encourage verification rather than fear-based conclusions. Dr. DeArmitt also argues that public perception of plastics is largely shaped by media narratives and unexamined online claims, often reinforced by billionaire- and NGO-funded campaigns that conflate plastics with fossil fuels while overlooking full lifecycle analyses. He points to studies comparing grocery bags, noting that plastic frequently has a lower overall environmental impact than paper or cotton unless reusable bags are reused many times. He also challenges widely repeated claims like the “Texas-sized floating plastic island,” calling it a myth rooted in translation errors and hypothetical modeling, and says measured samples from ocean gyres show predominantly fishing gear, with minimal consumer items such as plastic bags. The conversation turns to health and household concerns, where Dr. DeArmitt maintains that FDA-approved food-contact plastics are rigorously tested for safety and that “natural” does not automatically mean non-toxic. While Tee remains cautious—sharing a personal BPA test result linked to a coffee maker—DeArmitt clarifies that BPA is not used in most common plastics and is more closely associated with polycarbonate products and thermal receipts, while phthalate exposure can come from sources like perfumes and certain medications. They also discuss recycling as helpful but overemphasized, arguing it does little to address litter, which Dr. DeArmitt attributes largely to behavior and enforcement rather than materials. The episode closes with a shared call for listeners to verify sources, understand labels, and make informed choices amid competing industry and advocacy narratives.

Paul Kealey: Why Most Homes Silently Damage Your Health and How to Fix It 03/02/2026

Paul Kealey: Why Most Homes Silently Damage Your Health and How to Fix It This week, Tee welcomes Paul Kealey, founder of , for a grounded conversation on why “the house is medicine.” Paul explains how many conventional homes are built vapor-closed yet leaky, trapping moisture inside walls and roofs and creating long-term mold exposure that quietly degrades indoor air quality, stresses the immune system, and impacts overall health. The episode traces Paul’s journey from teacher to builder and how discovering the Passive House Institute standard fundamentally changed his approach to home design. Together, they break down practical, achievable steps for improving existing homes—testing air and dust for mold and VOCs, integrating ERV/HRV ventilation, upgrading to MERV 13+ filtration, and sealing leaks with tools like , all aimed at reducing the cumulative “home hangover” caused by stacked environmental stressors. Tee and Paul also explore often-overlooked issues such as elevated overnight bedroom CO₂ levels, humidity imbalance, and wildfire resilience. Citing findings from the Harvard Healthy Buildings Institute, Kealey explains how poor indoor air can impair sleep quality and cognitive function. The conversation closes with a clear takeaway: healthier homes aren’t about perfection, but about thoughtful design choices that steadily improve comfort, resilience, and long-term health.
