Longevity isn’t about just living longer, but rather living better and longer.
Today, I sit down with Dr. Greg Bailey, a former emergency room physician turned biotech investor who now operates at the forefront of longevity science. After a decade in emergency medicine, he transitioned into drug development and cutting-edge research focused on extending healthspan, not just lifespan. We get into the mechanics of ketosis and why metabolic flexibility may matter more than extreme dieting, and the growing role of AI in medicine. Beyond the tech, we address supplement credibility, flawed research, and why connection, purpose, and education remain foundational to real longevity.
If you’re serious about biohacking, metabolic health, and the future of regenerative medicine, this conversation sets the tone.
You’ll Learn:
[00:00] Introduction
[01:29] The creativity and absurdity Greg witnessed in emergency room patients
[03:14] Different motivations for pursuing longevity and how desired lifespan changes based on projected health
[07:46] Cutting-edge longevity interventions, including epigenetics and cellular reprogramming
[12:01] The UCLA study that reversed biological age by two years
[15:03] The supplement industry's crisis of trust, why 75% of studies fail replication, and the critical need for credible voices
[23:18] Mike Levin's revolutionary bioelectric limb regeneration
[33:57] What the ultimate longevity factor is, and today's epidemic of loneliness
[39:59] The two pathways to ketosis and why cells prefer ketones over sugar
[44:54] Ketones as a potential alcohol replacement for social occasions
[49:20] Ketones for brain health across all ages and spermidine's dramatic autophagy effects
[01:05:40] Greg's most influential teachers, his mother's profound impact, and my epiphanies I experienced

It’s AMA time again, and this one goes deep.
Alyson and I open the floor to your questions, and what unfolds is an honest, vulnerable exploration of self-love, self-worth, and the subtle ways we block ourselves from the lives we say we want. Inspired by a recent 13-hour healing journey, I share some powerful realizations about integrity, honoring myself, and the surprising gap between loving others and truly loving myself.
We unpack what self-love actually looks like in practice—not just mirror affirmations, but identifying childhood imprints, dissolving shame, raising standards, and developing discernment in relationships and business. Alyson brings in her perspective on embodied self-respect, parts work, and Internal Family Systems, offering grounded tools for healing old patterns and integrating fractured aspects of ourselves.
From there, we shift gears into a fun but revealing conversation about influence and inspiration. I break down some of my favorite podcasts, from countercultural voices and spiritual finance to music deep dives and consciousness explorations, and why challenging my own beliefs is a core part of my growth.
We also touch on money, integrity, jealousy, and the tension between spirituality and wealth—exploring how to hold abundance without selling your soul.
If you’ve ever struggled with self-worth, boundaries, or reconciling purpose with prosperity, this episode offers reflection, humor, and a few hard-earned insights from the trenches.

In this episode, I dive deep into one of my favorite topics—bio-individuality—and why your genes may hold the missing key to your health struggles. Kashif Khan joins me to unpack how his own health crisis at 38, marked by eczema, psoriasis, gut issues, depression, and debilitating migraines, sent him down a rabbit hole that ultimately led to genetics. What he discovered completely reframed the way he thought about wellness.
We explore how two people can eat the same food, live the same lifestyle, and experience radically different outcomes—and why that discrepancy often comes down to gene expression. Kashif breaks down dopamine pathways, addiction tendencies, trauma imprinting, and how certain genetic profiles can be both a superpower and a liability depending on context. If you’ve ever wondered why you’re wired the way you are or why certain habits feel nearly impossible to break, this conversation will hit home.
We also get into estrogen metabolism, detox pathways, hormone replacement therapy, environmental toxins, and the shocking role negative emotions play in turning disease-related genes on. One of the biggest takeaways for me was how ancestral habits, geography, and even generational trauma can influence which genes are expressed.
This episode is a powerful reminder that health isn’t about chasing trends—it’s about understanding your unique blueprint. If you’re tired of guessing and ready to personalize your approach to fitness, supplements, hormones, and longevity, this one is going to open your eyes in a big way.

In this episode, I explore the deeper layers of spiritual sovereignty, perception, and the nature of evil with teacher and healer Sarah Elkhaldy, host of Mystery Teachings on Gaia. We go far beyond surface-level spirituality and into the real terrain—psychopathy, manipulation, spiritual warfare, and the psychological mechanics behind modern psyops.
Sarah shares her unlikely entry point into awakening through conspiracy research, how that path evolved into esoteric study, and why understanding darkness is essential to true alchemy. We unpack the weaponization of compassion, the dangers of outsourcing authority, and how unexamined core wounds can make us vulnerable to manipulation. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by the state of the world, questioned your sanity while researching uncomfortable truths, or struggled to balance discernment with an open heart, this conversation will resonate.
We also get into perception as the ultimate alchemical tool—how mastering it can modulate your nervous system, shift your biology, and reclaim your power from false authorities. Sarah explains why spiritual awakening requires energy, resilience, and a willingness to confront the uncomfortable realities most people avoid.
This one goes deep. If you’ve been navigating the rabbit holes, wrestling with duality, or wondering whether evil can truly change—or whether this realm is something we graduate from rather than fix—you’re going to want to hear this conversation.

In this episode, I explore what it really takes to break free from the relationship patterns that keep us stuck—with trained educator and relationship expert Stefanos Sifandos. With a background in behavioral science, trauma, and somatics, Stefanos brings a grounded, embodied perspective to the way we love, attach, and relate to ourselves and others.
We unpack how early experiences and unprocessed trauma quietly shape our nervous systems, our choices, and the dynamics we recreate in intimate relationships. Stefanos explains why awareness alone isn’t enough, and how lasting change requires working with the body—not just the mind—to rewire safety, trust, and emotional regulation. If you’ve ever found yourself repeating the same cycles despite years of “knowing better,” this conversation sheds light on why that happens and what actually helps shift it.
We also talk about self-leadership, emotional responsibility, and what it means to cultivate a healthier sense of self without bypassing the discomfort that growth often demands. Stefanos shares practical insights on boundaries, communication, and how to meet conflict as an opportunity for deeper connection rather than something to avoid or dominate.
This episode is an invitation to relate more consciously to your partner, your past, and yourself. If you’re committed to personal growth, healing relational wounds, and stepping into your highest potential with honesty and integrity, this conversation offers both clarity and depth.
