We reached out to the Canadian Association of Nuclear Medicine for their comments regarding what Dr. Amen says at 1:03:31. They responded with the following statement on December 12th 2025: “At this time, CANM considers that the guidelines require further rigorous review and validation through an independent, expert-led editorial and peer-review process. Until such a process has been completed, CANM believes it would be premature to adopt, endorse, or formally comment on the recommendations contained therein.” I'll teach you how to become the media's go-to expert in your field.

Bryan Johnson began his life as an entrepreneur, buying, selling, and growing companies like Venmo to build a healthy living for himself. Several years ago, he became fascinated with the idea of maximizing human technology to extend the length and quality of one's life as far as possible. Today, he lives as the most tested man in the world at the center of "Project Blueprint", where drawing on his access to wealth and resources, he pushes the boundaries of human existence to see if he can become the oldest person of all time. As someone who has pushed back quite strongly against biohacking and "optimizing" one's health beyond homeostasis, I was fascinated to ask Bryan about his approach to life and fact-check him on a few of his theories. 00:00 Intro 01:42 Baby Steps From Superintelligence 14:33 Tracking Your Life 21:28 Overpopulation 24:55 Colonoscopy / Testing 30:08 Lessons For Normal People 36:32 Plasma Transfusions From His Son 42:11 HGH Harms 44:50 Sleep Tracking / Sleep Score 50:30 Harms Of "Don't Die" Executive Producer and Host: Doctor Mike Varsahvski Produced by Dan Owens and Sam Bowers Art by Caroline Weigum

He's pushed his body to extreme lengths in his journey to now hold over 160 world records with more coming all the time. I invited him on the show to share his story and detail exactly how he's managed to stay healthy despite the constant physical toll record-breaking has on his body.

Bea Amma went to a med spa a few years ago to receive a Vitamin B12 injection, and it nearly took her life. Since that fateful day, Bea has been battling a debilitating case of mycobacterium which has been eating her skin. It's forced Bea out of jobs and caused her to build up millions of dollars of medical debt.

Ginny Kaltenbach is not just any nurse, but my nurse, having working alongside me for the last 10 years in New Jersey. Ginny and I are great friends and coworkers, but we developed a new type of relationship this last year where Ginny actually became one of my patients. You see, Ginny was suffering from debilitating pain in her back, and after hearing her side of the story, I realized I wasn't happy with her treatment plan. So, I made Ginny book an appointment with me so we could get to the bottom of her pain. This turned out to be an excellent decision for many reasons detailed in this episode. We don't just talk about Ginny's health though, but also do a deep dive into our relationship and Ginny's opinions on the healthcare system as a nurse who has seen it all, and then some, in over 40 years on the front lines. 00:00 Intro 01:10 Our First Meeting / Fight 04:50 How Ginny Started 14:05 What Makes Doctors Special 19:31 What Nurses Actually Do 24:36 Memories Of Me 31:30 Flirting With Doctors 33:25 Ginny Going Viral 35:18 Ginny’s Injury 52:10 Ginny’s Retirement / My Boxing 54:48 Advice For Nurses Executive Producer and Host: Doctor Mike Varshavski Produced by Dan Owens and Sam Bowers Artwork by Caroline Weigum

In more recent years, he has pivoted away from surgery and more into preventive medicine at his clinic in souther California. Dr. Gundry is a highly vocal advocate for a wide variety of highly controversial health claims, often centered on the gut microbiome and "lectins", which are found inside foods like tomatoes and bell peppers that he claims have disastrous effects on your health. Over the years, I've had issues with many of the things Dr. Gundry has said, so when his team reached out about having him come on the show to promote his new book "Gut Check", I was eager at the oppurtunity. That being said, I was quickly to communicate to Dr. Gundry's team that not only would this be a contentious discussion, but that I would also bring in my friend Dr. Danielle Belardo, a heart and diet expert in her own right, to join the discussion and get down to the truth about a number of Dr. Gundry's most extreme claims.

How is it possible she can helicopter in to rigorous environments like a dancing contest or the military and defeat everyone in her path?

Steven He is a comedian, actor, and media pioneer who you may have seen online in the last year as the "emotional damage" guy. This line from one of Steven's videos hit a meteoric viral rise in the summer of 2022, but unlike many viral stars who are a flash in the pan, Steven was ready. His years of hustling as a working actor and content creator allowed him to run with his success and build a rapidly growing audience of people who enjoy his "Off Brand" TikToks or YouTube shorts about his most popular character known only as "Asian Dad". Steven has big plans for the future with the impending release of his original series "Ginormo" and a seemingly never-ending waterfall of fresh content across social media. We talked about his health, specifically the recent surgery he had on a cyst above his eye he believes was caused by stress. We also shared stories of our immigration backgrounds. Steven was born in China, raised in Ireland, and then went to college in the UK and studied acting at the Neighborhood Playhouse in NYC, so we actually have a lot on common.

Anjelah Johnson-Reyes is a stand up comedian you know from Mad TV and her early YouTube virality for her impression of a day at the nail salon. I was exited to sit down with her an discuss her health, her comedic style, and her relationship with doctors, which turns out to be pretty complicated. Like many out there, Anjelah has not had the best success when visiting traditional doctors to treat her ailments, and as such she has grown a little wary of their advice. I recognize there are plenty of doctors out there who don't put their relationship with a patient first, so I wanted to work with Anjelah on battling some of this doctor stigma and see if we could get her to come around on some traditional medicine. I was so happy with this discussion and think Anjelah is a total rock star! Let me know down below if you'd had issues with traditional doctors in the past and if you have any questions I can answer to clear things up for you.Follow Anjelah:IG: https://www.instagram.com/anjelahjohnson/Twitter: https://mobile.twitter.com/anjelahjohnsonExecutive Producer and Host: Dr. Mike VarshavskiProduced by Dan Owens and Sam BowersArt by Caroline WeigumCONTACT: DoctorMikeMedia@gmail.com

Watch me and Brandon react to the worst NFL injuries of all time here: https://go.doctormikemedia.com/youtube/BrandonMarshallInjuries Check out Brandon's new fitness app, House Of Athlete+: https://houseofathlete.com/hoa-plusListen to Brandon's podcast "I Am Athlete": https://iamathletetv.com/ Brandon Marshall is a record-holding wide receiver who played 13 seasons in the NFL. Now retired, he's building a sports media and fitness empire with his brand's "I Am Athlete" and "House of Athlete" which seeks to provide the elite sports, fitness, and recovery resources professional athletes have to the average person. Brandon is known for being outspoken and honest, so I was eager to get the inside scoop on how injuries are treated in the NFL, how wide-spread painkillers are before games, and whether or not Terrell Owens should be playing football at 49 years old. I had so much fun with Brandon and really appreciate his insight into the most popular sport in America!

Sebastian Maniscalco's new standup special "Is It Me" is streaming on Netflix now!Watch me and Sebastian play Medical Heads Up here: https://go.doctormikemedia.com/youtube/SebastianManiscalcoHeadsUp Sebastian Maniscalco is a world-class stand up comedian who has sold out some of the biggest and most historic venues in the world. He just released a new special on Netflix called "Is It Me?" which nearly knocked me on the floor I thought it was so funny. I invited Sebastian onto the pod to discuss his sciatic pain shooting down his leg. He's been on the road for 19 months and the pain is apparently getting bad, so we dove in deep to discuss it's cause and potential treatments. We also discussed fatherhood, how he felt being on Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee with Jerry Seinfeld, the rise of illness in our kids' schools, and toxic masculinity.

Professor Matthew Walker is a Professor of Neuroscience and Psychology at the University of California, Berkeley, USA. He is also the founder and director of the Center for Human Sleep Science. If you've got sleep questions, he's your guy. We talked about chronotypes, or the category of sleeper you may fall into. It turns out, whether you're an early riser or a night owl might not actually be your "fault", and in fact it may have been something you were born with. Don't forget to leave a 5 star review with a medical question in the body of it and I'll try to answer it in a future episode!Buy Professor Walker's book, "Why We Sleep" here: https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Why-We-Sleep/Matthew-Walker/9781501144325Follow Professor Walker here:Podcast: https://themattwalkerpodcast.buzzsprout.com/Twitter: https://mobile.twitter.com/sleepdiplomatInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/drmattwalker/Linked In: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sleepdiplomat/Why We Sleep: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1501144316Executive Producer and Host: Dr. Mike VarshavskiProduced by Dan Owens and Sam BowersArt by Caroline WeigumCONTACT: DoctorMikeMedia@gmail.com

Watch the full-length video version here: https://go.doctormikemedia.com/youtube/MarquesFullV2Subscribe to Marques here: https://www.youtube.com/c/mkbhdMarques Brownlee, also known as MKBHD, is one of the most prolific YouTubers on the platform. Boasting over 16 million subscribers, Marques prides himself on having the most cutting edge and high-quality tech videos on the internet. How does Marques make his iPhone reviews stand out from the competition? Try by investing in a $250,000 robotic camera to give his videos a look nobody can match, for starters. When Marques isn't producing tech content out of his studio in New Jersey, he actually plays professional frisbee. I not only asked him about his thoughts on all things tech (wearables, crypto, his own line of products, etc.) but his personal life as well. I wanted to "unbox" Marques myself to see what makes him tick.Executive Producer and Host: Dr. Mike VarshavskiProduced by Dan Owens and Sam BowersArt by Caroline WeigumCONTACT: DoctorMikeMedia@gmail.com

Buy Steve-O's book here: https://www.hachettebooks.com/titles/stephen-steve-o-glover/a-hard-kick-in-the-nuts/9780306826771/Steve-O is an icon. Everyone knows him as one of the faces of Jackass, but what most people don't know is that Steve-O is more than just a stunt man known for falling down stairs in a bellhop cart or lighting himself on fire. In this two-hour interview, I feel like I really spoke to the actual human being, Stephen Glover, and not the extreme stunt-man from MTV. We dove into the obvious stuff I know you want to hear, such as old Jackass stories, his most painful injuries, and how his body is holding up. Beyond that though, we dove into some really deep subjects, such as his struggles with growing up as a "rich kid", Buddhism, and the profound lessons he's learned through a multi-decade life of getting paid to injure yourself. Steve-O is addicted to attention, and I was glad to give him some!Executive Producer and Host: Dr. Mike VarshavskiProduced by Dan Owens and Sam BowersArt by Caroline WeigumCONTACT: DoctorMikeMedia@gmail.com

Buy Kal's book here: https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/You-Cant-Be-Serious/Kal-Penn/9781982171391Kal Penn has one of the strangest resumes in Hollywood. You most likely remember Kal as half of the stoner comedy duo “Harold and Kumar”, or if you’ve watched a lot of medical dramas like I have you may have enjoyed his 2 season arc on House MD where he lit a patient on fire instead of doing chest compressions. But if your name is “Barack Obama” (hey Prez, check your DMs, come on the show?) you may instead remember Kal as a full time staff member at the White House. Huh? President Obama hired the White Castle guy, after he was already famous? That’s right. Your tax dollars paid his salary for years as a full time staff member of the White House Office of Public Engagement. Turns out the roller coaster ride of Kal’s life didn’t end with him sitting at the movie premiere for Van Wilder, next to his strict Indian immigrant parents, watching his oiled body slide off a naked woman while playing a character literally named “Taj Mahal” (yikes). In Kal’s new book, You Can’t Be Serious, he not only details some of the stunning racism he’s faced throughout his 20+ years in Hollywood, but also stories of those late nights in Washington DC working alongside President Obama navigating some of America’s most highly controversial political issues, such as the hurdles they had to clear to remove the army’s “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy, which barred openly queer people from serving in the armed forces. I asked Kal about all of these big picture stories, as well as some smaller ones, like how it’s possible he walks around every day with a tattoo on his left arm that has a typo.Executive Producer and Host: Dr. Mike VarshavskiProduced by Dan Owens and Sam BowersArt by Caroline WeigumCONTACT: DoctorMikeMedia@gmail.com
