The Neuro Experience

Dr Karan Rajan, NHS-trained surgeon and gut health researcher who founded Loam Science, talks fiber, the collapsing microbiome and rising colorectal cancer in young people. He covers how different diets and drugs harm gut diversity. Practical focuses include why varied plant fibers matter, how lifestyle factors like sleep and stress affect the gut, and the science behind prebiotics versus probiotics.

Dr. Amy Killen, a physician in regenerative and longevity medicine focused on women’s hormonal health and menopause, explains why ovarian aging drives systemic aging. She covers hormone replacement timing and safety, stem cell and mitochondrial approaches, and emerging therapies like hyperbaric oxygen, peptides, and plasma exchange. Practical prevention and why many clinicians miss menopause are also discussed.

Kristi Storoschuk, PhD researcher in exercise physiology and mitochondrial health. She challenges the gospel of zone two, explains why higher intensities often drive stronger mitochondrial adaptation, and unpacks fasting, fasted training for women, and what lactate really reveals about metabolism. Practical intensity guidance and why elite 80/20 advice may not fit recreational exercisers.

Dr. Darshan Shah, a board-certified surgeon turned longevity physician and founder of Next Health, shares his switch from operating rooms to root-cause care. He discusses why routine labs miss early disease, which biomarkers flag cancer and Alzheimer risk, liquid biopsy and full-body MRI screening, AI-driven dashboards for personalized prevention, and promising regenerative approaches like Yamanaka-factor research.

Dr. Anurag Singh, MD, PhD, an immunologist who spent 20 years studying mitochondria and immunometabolism, and who discovered urolithin A from pomegranate screening. He discusses how immune cell mitochondria drive autoimmunity, cancer surveillance failure, and neurodegeneration. They cover mitophagy, urolithin A, exercise and creatine synergy, environmental mitochondrial toxins, and AI-driven molecule discovery.

Clear, plain-language breakdown of what cancer and metastasis really are and why spread, not the first tumor, causes most deaths. A deep dive into how just 30 minutes of daily exercise links to prevention, treatment tolerance, and survivorship. Exploration of how high-intensity bursts create shear stress that harms circulating tumor cells and how exercise mobilizes immune cells and alters metabolic signals.

Women in midlife are being targeted with untested peptide treatments marketed for brain fog, muscle loss, and joint pain. The conversation highlights the lack of randomized human trials, quality and safety failures in gray‑market peptides, and theoretical cancer or immune risks. Evidence-backed alternatives like resistance training, protein, sleep, and properly timed hormone therapy are emphasized as real brain‑protective strategies.

Dr. Jayne Morgan, a board-certified cardiologist and VP of medical affairs at Hello Heart, is a leading voice on gender bias in cardiovascular care. She discusses how women’s heart disease differs from men’s. Topics include atypical heart attack signs, why common meds like beta blockers can harm women, mammogram clues to heart risk, menopause effects, and using home BP monitoring and advanced imaging for prevention.

Dr. Kelly Casperson, a board-certified urologic surgeon and women’s health advocate, explains hormonal changes in perimenopause and menopause. She discusses why UTIs increase after menopause, how vaginal versus systemic estrogen work, and the link between estrogen receptors and brain aging. They also cover HRT basics, compounding pharmacies, and why women should reclaim control of their health.

Dr. Mindy Pelz, a bestselling author and hormone expert specializing in fasting and women's health, dives into the controversial topic of fasting for women. She reveals how fasting can adversely affect hormonal cycles, leading to issues like hair loss and missed periods. Mindy discusses the unique needs of women's brains during menopause, emphasizing the critical role of ketones. She also outlines practical fasting durations and introduces a tailored fasting cycle for women, highlighting why understanding hormonal changes is key to metabolic health.
