  EP 125: He Treats Everything at Once. We Go One at a Time. Who's Right? (ft. Evan Hirsch)

  Oct 1, 202637 min

  EP 125: He Treats Everything at Once. We Go One at a Time. Who's Right? (ft. Evan Hirsch) Evan Hirsch, MD spent five years with chronic fatigue syndrome while running his own functional medicine practice. He only recovered once he found and treated every underlying cause. Today he coaches people with chronic fatigue and long COVID, and his approach is the opposite of ours. He treats everything at once and does very little testing. Coach Kyle and Evan compare the "shotgun" and "sniper" approaches directly. They cover his Toxic Five framework, why lab tests can miss hidden toxins and infections, the problem of heavy-metal recirculation, hidden jaw infections, and why his patients often don't feel a change until around month nine. In this episode: 00:00 Intro + Disclaimer 00:59 Welcome, and meet Evan Hirsch 02:32 Why an MD chooses to coach instead 04:43 The Toxic Five: metals, chemicals, mold, infections, nervous system 06:43 Why hormone deficiency isn't a root cause 07:39 Shotgun vs. sniper: treating everything at once 11:48 Why lab tests can miss what's really there 11:20 The few things Evan still tests 13:16 Hidden jaw infections 15:39 Supporting thyroid without prescriptions 18:16 Inside the tinctures: binders, cilantro and chlorella 19:46 The recirculation problem with DMSA 20:39 Kyle's chelation breakdown: DMPS, EDTA and ALA 23:13 Gut binders vs. systemic toxins 25:27 Why the change often shows up around month 9 30:08 Nervous system retraining and mindset 32:58 Final thoughts on Shotgun vs Sniper Methods 33:52 Evan's final advice and where to find him 35:17 Bonus: the show tunes signature + sign-off Connect with Evan: fixyourfatigue.com Evan's show tunes: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLyqBhvah0nPIf2CGW7ziq0tAUXbmjtnSh&si=XWHVqEqGBsumrC2r Longevity Centers of America: thelcoa.com | We Listen.

  EP 124: Your Gut Gets Jet Lag Too [ft. Dr. Monisha Bhanote]

  Sep 17, 202637 min

  You took the probiotic, you paid for the gut test, and you still can't go on vacation. Here's what's actually happening in there. Kyle Hulbert and theosteodoc, Dr. Benjamin "Dr. K" Kosubevsky, sit down with Dr. Monisha Bhanote board-certified five times over, in anatomic pathology, clinical pathology, cytopathology, integrative medicine, and culinary medicine and get into gut health: Which tests are actually validated Why interpreting a result is harder than running it What "leaky gut" really means when a pathologist explains it Why most people taking probiotics probably shouldn't be Why she almost never reaches for antibiotics or antifungals. And more! ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⏱️ CHAPTERS 00:00 Intro + Disclaimer 00:55 Five Board Certifications Explained 01:31 The Biggest Gut Health Misconception 02:32 Which Gut Tests Are Actually Validated 04:25 Differences in Gut Health Experts 04:56 Why She Doesn't Use Antibiotics or Antifungals 05:12 Where Gut Microbiome Research Actually Stands 06:21 How Do Toxins Affect Gut Health? 08:34 What Leaky Gut Actually Means 09:31 The Soldiers Analogy for Leaky Gut 11:08 Why Probiotics Are the Wrong First Move 12:08 Why Standard Parasite Tests Miss Things 12:40 [Story] The Forgotten Malaria Case 14:30 How to Detect Chronic Parasites 15:18 Should You Be On Probiotics 17:34 Fecal Matter Transplants 19:15 What Flying Does to Your Digestion 21:39 Gut Jet Lag and the 2025 Research 24:49 Constipation on Flights 22:27 Travel Brain Fog and Oxygen 23:16 Best Botanicals for Travel 23:52 Outro + Disclaimer ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ KEY TAKEAWAYS - Running a gut test is the easy part... interpreting it is where most people fail, and it's why so many end up cycling through practitioner after practitioner without getting better - "Leaky gut" is real and has a real name: increased intestinal permeability. IIP has real causes such as medications, food additives, alcohol, infections, and chronic disease - Probiotics are not a default fix. Food sources like yogurt, kefir, sauerkraut, kimchi should be a focus, with supplements only when testing shows something is genuinely missing - If you do take probiotic supplements, rotate the strains rather than staying on the same ones indefinitely - Probiotic capsules likely won't survive a flight, so they're not the travel tool people think they are: magnesium bisglycinate and ginger are more practical - Your gut microbiome runs on its own circadian clock, which is why travel disrupts digestion before you notice anything else. (This one was new to us too) - Fecal matter transplants are early enough that screening standards aren't where blood banking landed after decades. So, worth watching, not worth rushing. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ STUDIES MENTIONED Li J, et al. "Gut jet lag: how circadian rhythm disruption undermines the Chrono-Microbiota-Motility axis and induces functional constipation." Frontiers in Nutrition, 2025. https://doi.org/10.3389/fnut.2025.1678482 ⚠️ ONE CORRECTION: In the episode, we say gut organisms outnumber human cells about two to one. That figure has been revised — Sender, Fuchs, and Milo (PLOS Biology, 2016) put it closer to 1:1, roughly 38 trillion bacterial cells to 30 trillion human ones. The point stands that there are a staggering number of them; the ratio is just smaller than the number that gets repeated. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pbio.1002533 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Relevant To Us and This Video #GutHealth #Microbiome #LongevityUnlocked #LongevityClinic #LeakyGut #GutTesting #guthealing #probiotics #guthealthtips People & Social Links Website: https://www.thelcoa.com/longevity-unlocked-podcast/ Podcast: @longevityunlockedpod (https://www.instagram.com/longevityunlockedpod/) Dr. K on Instagram: @theosteodoc Guest: Dr. Monisha Bhanote — https://www.drbhanote.com | @drbhanote Credits Produced by: The Longevity Centers of America in collaboration with the sHealed team Filmed in Cannes, France [https://www.imdb.com/title/tt33144483/]

  EP 123: Everyone Has Parasites (Yes, You Too): A Longevity Doctor Explains What to Do

  Sep 3, 202612 min

  Everyone Has Parasites (Yes, You Too) A Longevity Doctor Explains What to Do Your dog licks your face, your kid shares your fork, and your restaurant salad came out of a bag that says "triple washed." Here's what that actually means. Kyle Hulbert and theosteodoc, Dr. Benjamin "Dr. K" Kosubevsky, get into parasites — who has them, where people really pick them up, which symptoms are worth paying attention to, and when testing is and isn't worth doing. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⏱️ CHAPTERS 00:00 Intro + Disclaimer 00:46 Who Has Parasites 01:33 Symptoms of Parasites 02:48 How You Get Parasites 05:00 Types of Parasites 05:41 Misconceptions About Parasites 07:02 Parasite Treatment for Animals v. Humans 07:22 What Are the Parasite Life Cycles 07:53 How Does Parasite Testing Work 08:22 What Does Parasite Treatment Look Like 09:26 What Natural Options Are There For Parasites 10:08 How Do Parasites Affect Aging 10:34 Do Parasites Change How You Look 10:43 Parasite Prevention 11:53 Outro + Disclaimer ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ KEY TAKEAWAYS - Parasitic infection is real and underdiagnosed in the US, but it's not universal — pinworm is the genuinely common one, and it's mostly a kids-and-households story - The most common household routes are unglamorous: pets on furniture, young children, and shared food and utensils - "Triple washed" is a processing description, not a sterilization claim— it reduces contamination, it doesn't eliminate it - Standard advice is NOT to re-wash pre-washed bagged greens at home — see the note below, this surprised us too - Giardia from untreated pond, lake, or stream water is one of the most common ways Americans actually get a parasite - If you have persistent GI symptoms, unexplained fatigue, or changes in stool lasting more than a week, that's a conversation with a doctor — not a reason to buy a cleanse online ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Relevant To Us and This Video #Parasites #GutHealth #LongevityUnlocked #LonevityClinic #ParasiteTesting #ParasitePurge #parasitecleanse #parasitedetox People & Social Links Website: https://www.thelcoa.com/longevity-unlocked-podcast/ Podcast: @longevityunlockedpod (https://www.instagram.com/longevityunlockedpod/) Dr. K on Instagram: @theosteodoc Credits Produced by: The Longevity Centers of America Filmed by: Jackson Young (@clearviewstudios)

  EP 122 What Women Were Told About Hormone Therapy Was Wrong

  Aug 20, 202639 min

  Episode Summary In this episode of Longevity Unlocked, Coach Kyle sits down with women’s health and menopause expert Dr. Maria Sophocles to discuss menopause, HRT, cholesterol, and long-term health. Dr. Sophocles explains how declining estrogen can affect the brain, bones, heart, metabolism, and sexual health. She also examines misconceptions surrounding HRT following the Women’s Health Initiative. The conversation covers LDL and genetic cardiovascular risk, blood glucose, vaginal estrogen, pelvic floor health, and the HRT “10-year rule.” Dr. Sophocles emphasizes individualized care based on medical history and personal risk factors. Listeners will gain a clearer understanding of: How estrogen affects overall health Why cholesterol and cardiovascular risk matter after menopause How the Women’s Health Initiative shaped HRT concerns What the HRT “10-year rule” means How vaginal estrogen differs from systemic HRT How hormones affect sexual, urinary, and metabolic health Why HRT decisions should be individualized This episode provides practical context on hormones, menopause, HRT, and longevity. Key Takeaways Estrogen supports brain, bone, heart, metabolic, and sexual health. Bone density can decline rapidly after menopause. Hormonal changes may contribute to brain fog, joint discomfort, vaginal dryness, and cholesterol changes. LDL levels and family history can help identify cardiovascular risk, including familial hypercholesterolemia. Dr. Sophocles argues that early Women’s Health Initiative findings created lasting misconceptions about HRT. HRT should be considered individually with a qualified medical provider. Vaginal estrogen may support vaginal, sexual, bladder, and urinary health. Pelvic floor physical therapy can support postpartum and pelvic health. Resources Mentioned by Dr. Maria Sophocles As mentioned by Kyle during the episode, listeners can check out the resources Dr. Sophocles discussed: The Bedroom Gap . Dr. Maria Sophocles’ book exploring sex, intimacy, and sexual health in midlife. TED Talk on Sex and Menopause . Dr. Sophocles’ talk addressing sex and menopause and bringing greater awareness to an often under-discussed part of women’s health. An upcoming documentary ‘HOT’ inspired by The Bedroom Gap and Dr. Sophocles’ TED Talk, focused on sex in midlife.

  EP 121 Derma: The All-Natural PRP Filler That Actually Works — Without the Toxins

  Aug 6, 20269 min

  Episode Summary In this episode of Longevity Unlocked, Coach Kyle and Dr. K introduce Derma, a new all-natural PRP-based filler made entirely from your own blood. Dr. K explains how it's created, how the procedure works using a cannula for added safety, and why it avoids the chemical reactions, toxin buildup, and "pillow face" associated with synthetic fillers. They also discuss treatment areas, expected results and longevity, how Derma can be safely reversed with saline if needed, ideal candidates, pricing, and how to maximize results by pairing it with microneedling and GHK-Cu peptide therapy. Listeners will walk away with a clearer understanding of: What Derma is and how it differs from traditional synthetic filler Why it eliminates the toxin and pillow-face risks associated with conventional filler How the cannula delivery system makes it one of the safest filler options available What areas can be treated and what results to realistically expect How to reverse it if you don't like the outcome What to stack with Derma for enhanced and longer-lasting results This episode is a practical, honest look at what natural PRP filler can and can't do — and why it's worth considering for anyone curious about aesthetic enhancement without the chemical baggage. Key Takeaways Derma is a PRP-based filler made from your own blood, eliminating synthetic chemicals, toxins, and the risk of "pillow face." A cannula-based technique makes vessel occlusion virtually impossible. Results typically last 2 to 10 months, with full effects developing over about a month. If needed, Derma can be safely diluted with saline instead of using chemical reversal agents. It's ideal for fine lines, crow's feet, under eyes, eyebrow lifts, turkey neck, hands, and post-implant scarring. It's not recommended for severely loose or sagging skin. Two treatments six weeks apart provide longer-lasting, more even results. For best outcomes, microneedle two weeks before treatment, wait at least three months afterward, and support collagen with GHK-Cu peptide and a quality moisturizer.
