Niraj Naik, The Renegade Pharmacist, is on a mission to improve health and well-being on a global scale. He posits an interesting thought experiment – what if the billions of coca-colas and cigarettes consumed a day were replaced with the habit of breathwork? Naik believes it would be revolutionary.
A certified pharmacist turned holistic health and breathwork expert, Naik’s story is like so many in the health and wellness space. Disillusioned with his observations that all the prescription drugs he was dispensing as a pharmacist were making no difference (if not making them worse) on his patients health and then having to heal himself from one of those “incurable” conditions (ulcerative colitis), Naik broke away from traditional medicine and immersed himself in the world of alternatives. Not only did this cure him of his colitis, it changed his life forever.
Naik then under his Renegade Pharmacist moniker began to educate the public about brainwave entrainment, Ayurveda, natural supplements and medicines and breathwork. It was during this phase he authorized what would become one of the most viral infographics of all time – What Happens To Your Body One Hour After You Drink a Can of Coke.
He then created his own system of breathwork, SOMA Breath, which is taught across the world by over 1,000 instructors. Naik is also a professional musician, serial entrepreneur and one of the most sought after spiritual ceremony facilitators.

Stem cells are the key to your longevity. These miracles of life are what repair and rejuvenate everything about you biologically, creating “new” organs every few years and repairing damage and disease. But as we age, live unhealthy lifestyles and live in unnatural, toxic environments, the production and circulation of stem cells begins to wane, and thereby so does our health and therefore our life. That’s why Christian Drapeau and his patented stem cell mobilizing product is so exciting and as you will hear, literally changing people’s lives with unexpected and miraculous recoveries.

Christian Drapeau is a stem cell scientist, author, and innovator behind the first-ever stem cell supplement. With a graduate degree in Neurophysiology, he has over 30 years of experience in medical research, with the past two decades dedicated specifically to stem cell science. As the author of five books, including the best-seller Cracking the Stem Cell Code , and the publisher of numerous scientific papers, he introduced the concept of “Endogenous Stem Cell Mobilization.” Currently, he serves as the CEO and Founder of Kalyagen, where he developed STEMREGEN, the most advanced stem cell mobilizer on the market.

Join us as we explore:

• Everything stem cells - from their genesis in medicine, to their function in the body and the future they will play in the medicine of the decades to come.
• The connection between autoimmune disease and stem cell health.
• Can you count the stem cell volume in your body?
• Real life stories of how stem cell enhancers have changed people’s lives forever - from heart disease to Alzheimer’s to CURED.
• The plant based products used in STEMREGEN, and how they create natural endogenous stem cell mobilization and if there are any risks.
• Natural methods, foods and lifestyle decisions that promote natural stem cell health, and what suppresses it.

This one is about the kids, and it’s sad to say - the kid’s are not alright. Just 50 years ago, chronic disease in children and teens was a rarity. Now it’s the norm. I know things are bad, I talk about it and see it everyday, but when my guest today told me between 40% and 60% of American kids and teens have at least one chronic disease I was stopped in my tracks. We need to do something now to stop this unfolding catastrophe, and that is exactly what integrative pediatrician Dr. Joel “Gator” Warsh is doing.
Dr. Joel “Gator” Warsh is a respected integrative pediatrician known for his holistic approach to children’s health, combining conventional medicine with natural therapies. He advocates for preventative care, focusing on nutrition, lifestyle, and environmental factors to support overall wellness in his young patients. Dr. Warsh is also a prominent speaker and educator, dedicated to empowering parents with evidence-based tools for raising healthy children.

Something must be done to change the trajectory of human health because the trends are catastrophic. But my mission is to transform lives and empower people to a life of good health, so despite sometimes feeling like this war is too big to win, I also know there are so many health heroes out there fighting in the same fight I am. That includes Dr Coburn Allen and the healthcare company Medici. This episode is an inside look into what the future of healthcare companies needs to look like if we are to reverse our sick-care system into an actual healthcare system.
Dr Coburn Allen is the Chief Medical Officer of Medici, a healthcare provider using the power of technology to offer people a better way. Motivated by the fact the United States spends twice as much on healthcare as its democratic peers yet has far worse health outcomes, Dr Allen’s mission is to create a healthcare system that is designed for the individual and aligned with real health. Medici allows patients easy access to a team of concierges, coaches, dieticians, nurses, doctors and specialists with just a single text message all at a simple, transparent and surprisingly low cost.
Join us as we explore:
What it is going to take to stop and reverse the sick-care system and stats that 60% of American adults have one chronic disease due only to lifestyle, 40% have two and most importantly on average all of them believe there is nothing they can do about it!
Why everyone needs not only a primary care physician in their life but a primary care team encompassing health care professionals like a health coach.
The power of measuring compassion in healthcare and using reality to motivate people to make sticky habits and change the trajectory of their lives.
The power of awareness and helping a pre-diabetic patient delay onset diabetes by 11 years with on average just one lifestyle change.
How the sickest 5% of people contribute to more than 50% of overall healthcare costs, and how preventative or medicine 3.0 is the only way forward we have to change that.
Using the power of AI to make a 20x better decision on whether to do further testing for patients, saving both lives and massive costs for patients.
The disastrous state of health of children, why college has become the nexus point of disease and what we need to do to change our kids’ future.

Are you listening to your scalp? Because what is going on your head, and how your hair feels is at the crux of your hair health and your chances of hair loss. We are so emotionally connected to our hair, and people are willing to try just about anything to keep their hairspan! But that can be risky, and I regularly hear stories from patients about how trying some standard cream has had terrible side effects. That’s why you need to listen to Dr Alan Bauman, a true expert and pioneer in the world of hair loss and hair REGROWTH, because hair loss for you does not need to be like your father or grandfather.

Dr. Alan J. Bauman, MD, ABHRS, IAHRS, FISHRS is a full-time hair transplant surgeon who founded his medical practice in Boca Raton, Florida in 1997 and has treated over 34,000 patients and performed over 12,000 hair transplant surgeries to date.
Dr. Bauman is one of only approximately 200 physicians worldwide to achieve certification from the esteemed American and International Board of Hair Restoration Surgery (ABHRS), be an accepted member of the International Alliance of Hair Restoration Surgeons (IAHRS) and also recommended by the American Hair Loss Association. Recently, Dr. Bauman was named both a “Top 5 Transformational CEO” and one of “The 10 CEOs Transforming Healthcare in America” in Forbes, voted North America’s “, #1 Top Hair Restoration Surgeon” by Aesthetic Everything for 8 consecutive years and awarded "Hair Restoration Surgeon of the Decade."

Join us as we explore:

• Hair health and what it tells us about our health status, using AI powered follicle microscope, the scalp microbiome and why Dr Bauman is seeing patients earlier and earlier struggling with hair loss?
• How to take a proactive and preventative approach to hairless and what the options are for men and women in the process of hair loss?
• The lifestyle habits that boost your hair quality and scalp health, and the hair health killers.
• Hair health coaches, PRP, peptides, stem cells, lasers - what you can do to get your hair back?
• Hair loss transplants, the pharmaceutical options (and risks!) and the holy grail of “hair follicle multiplication”.
• Why how often you wash your hair with shampoo matters and if you are using Head&Shoulders, should you?
