Health Optimization Medicine Podcast

In this episode of the Health Optimization Medicine Podcast, the HOMeHOPe Faculty comes together for a roundtable conversation exploring the core philosophical framework behind Health Optimization Medicine.
Dr. Scott Sherr, Boomer Anderson, and Dr. Allen Bookatz break down the three fundamental perspective shifts that redefine how we think about health, disease, aging, and the human body itself. Rather than focusing on disease management, this episode introduces the foundational principles behind building health from the cellular level up.
Join us as we delve into: • The shift from pathogenesis (studying disease) to salutogenesis (creating health) • Why longevity alone isn't enough without vitality and morbidity compression • How neotenization focuses on restoring youthful biological function • The concept of the holobiont: humans as ecosystems of interconnected organisms
This episode is for you if: • You want to understand the philosophy behind Health Optimization Medicine • You're curious why modern healthcare focuses on disease instead of health • You're interested in metabolomics, cellular health, and systems biology • You want a deeper framework for longevity, vitality, and resilience

In this episode of the Smarter Not Harder Podcast, Dr. Helen Messier joins Dr. Scott Sherr for a wide-ranging and thought-provoking conversation about longevity, epigenetics, AI-powered medicine, and the real meaning of healthspan. From whole genome sequencing to digital twins and emotional resilience, this episode bridges cutting-edge science with deeply human healing in a way that challenges how we think about aging.
Join us as we delve into:
The difference between lifespan and healthspan — and why resilience matters more than years

Whole genome sequencing, polygenic risk scores, and the limits of genetic hype

Multi-omics medicine: genomics, metabolomics, proteomics, and systems biology

AI in healthcare, digital twins, and the return of the "country doctor" model

This episode is for you if:
You're curious about biological age vs. chronological age

You want to understand what genetic testing can (and can't) tell you

You're fascinated by AI's role in the future of personalized medicine

You want smarter, not harder ways to build resilience and optimize longevity

In this episode of the Smarter Not Harder Podcast, Dr. Linda Kiley joins Dr. Scott Sherr for a groundbreaking conversation on functional urogynecology — exploring the real causes of pelvic and bladder pain that most conventional models miss.
Dr. Kiley shares how she uses muscle exams, peptide protocols, and root-cause diagnostics to treat conditions like interstitial cystitis, chronic UTIs, pelvic floor dysfunction, and endometriosis — often without surgery or long-term antibiotics.
If you or someone you love has been told "there's nothing wrong" but still struggles with pelvic discomfort, bladder issues, or sexual pain, this episode is a must-listen.
Join us as we explore:
• The pelvic floor as a dynamic system — not just "tight or weak"
• Biofilms, interstitial cystitis, and smart testing for chronic infections
• How gut health and systemic inflammation drive pelvic pain
• Natural, non-invasive approaches to bladder and pelvic restoration
This episode is for you if:
• You experience chronic UTIs, bladder discomfort, or pelvic pain
• You've been dismissed or misdiagnosed by conventional providers
• You're a clinician seeking better diagnostics for pelvic dysfunction
• You want to understand how muscle tone, breathing, and biofilms intersect

From endometriosis and burnout to lab interpretation and emotional patterns, this episode is a roadmap for how to think critically, test wisely, and personalize healing in a system that often fails to see the whole picture.
Join us as we explore:
• Grace's approach to personalized testing: DNA, HTMA & blood
• Emotional patterns, heavy metals & how HTMA reveals hidden stories
• How to empower clients with data and narrative — not just prescriptions
• The future of health mentorship and integrative practitioner models

• You've been told "your labs are normal" — but you still don't feel right
• You're curious about DNA or hair mineral testing but don't know where to start
• You're a clinician seeking a smarter approach to functional workups
• You believe healing means slow medicine — not just instant fixes
