    STOP Chasing Mold Tests: The Smarter Way to Find the Real Problem With Jason Earle I Ep #457

    📍 Please don’t forget to follow my NEW Instagram account at https://www.instagram.com/longevitywithnat/ Most people think that if they can just find the right mold test, they'll finally have their answer. But what if that's exactly what's keeping them stuck? In this episode, I'm joined once again by mold investigator and building health expert Jason Earle, and we challenge some of the biggest assumptions surrounding mold illness. We unpack why modern homes may be working against our health, why the building itself should be viewed as part of your wellness ecosystem, and why one test can never tell the whole story. If you've been dealing with unexplained symptoms, wondering whether your home could be part of the equation, or simply want to create a healthier environment for yourself and your family, this conversation will completely change the way you think about the place you call home. Visit https://www.gotmold.com/ and use the code Nat10.

    #456: The Bioregulator Debate: What Actually Works (And What Doesn't) With Dr. Marios Kyriazis

    📍 Please don’t forget to follow my NEW Instagram account at https://www.instagram.com/longevitywithnat/ For years we've talked about longevity as if the answer is hiding in the next supplement, biomarker, or miracle molecule. But what if we've been looking at aging through far too narrow a lens? Today's guest, Dr. Marios Kyriazis, has spent decades challenging that idea by exploring aging through medicine, complexity science, cybernetics, and even philosophy. We unpack what bioregulators actually are, why so much of the conversation around them has become overhyped, and how concepts like hormesis, adaptation, and even our relationship with technology may shape how we age. This is one of those conversations that starts with peptides and ends with a much bigger question: what does it really mean to build a longer, healthier life?
