• Dr. Cathy Eason: The Role of Nitric Oxide in Aging Well

  What if one simple molecule could improve your energy, brain clarity, hormone balance, and heart health? Functional nutritionist Dr. Cathy Eason joins us on The AGEIST Podcast to share why nitric oxide (NO) is an often-overlooked key to healthy aging, and how most people over 35 are deficient. She breaks down how testing your levels is a quick, simple way to know your NO levels (it only takes 15 seconds), as well as how to increase your NO through diet, lifestyle, and a clinically tested supplement. Plus, Dr. Eason also reveals why common habits like mouthwash and over-exercising may be silently sabotaging your health goals. Tune in to learn how it all connects.How long will you live?

• Dr. Paul Kolodzik: GLP-1s for Alcohol Abuse

  How do you treat alcohol use disorder (formerly called alcoholism) without requiring total abstinence? This week, Dr. Paul Kolodzik returns to The AGEIST Podcast to discuss his pioneering work around GLP-1s: using these medications to help people reduce their alcohol intake. Drawing on his background in emergency and addiction medicine, Dr. Kolodzik outlines how these off-label uses can drastically reduce consumption, often by 60–70%, even in heavy drinkers. Learn why harm reduction, not abstinence, is a realistic and medically valid path for many and how medication paired with behavior change is reshaping addiction treatment today.How long will you live?
