In this insightful episode, we dive deep into Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 (IGF-1)—the powerful compound released by the liver in response to human growth hormone (hGH). Often called the "workhorse" of hGH, IGF-1 is responsible for driving cellular growth, repair, and regeneration. You'll learn how IGF-1 functions in the body, why it's a top performance-enhancing drug in sports (and banned by WADA), and why oral IGF-1 supplements are ineffective. We cover the therapeutic uses of IGF-1, including its impact on insulin sensitivity, cardiovascular protection, muscle mass, and bone density. We explore modified forms like IGF-1 LR3, which offer longer half-lives for extended benefit. Finally, we caution listeners on the risks of misuse—including insulin resistance and potential cancer proliferation—highlighting the importance of medical supervision when considering IGF-1 therapies.

In this episode of Decoding Health, Dr. Anthony Chaffee challenges conventional nutrition wisdom, explaining why carbohydrates aren't actually essential for human health. We explore how various lifestyle factors damage the mitochondria and why mitochondrial health is crucial for longevity and disease prevention. Dr. Chaffee dives into how ketogenic diets can enhance mitochondrial function and even help combat autoimmune diseases through the carnivore diet. Finally, he highlights a surprising statistic: nearly a third of the population may be deficient in carnitine, an essential nutrient for energy metabolism and overall vitality. This conversation pushes against outdated dietary norms and opens the door to new possibilities for optimizing health through smarter nutrition choices.

Dr Anthony Chaffee is an American medical doctor currently practicing in Australia who, over a span of over 20 years, has researched the optimal nutrition for human performance and health. It is his assertion that most of the so-called chronic diseases we treat as doctors are caused by the food we eat, or don't eat, and can be reversed with dietary changes to a species specific diet.

In this Decoding Health episode, we break down the trending topic of methylene blue and its emerging role in biohacking for longevity and health optimization. Originally a fabric dye later adapted for medical use in tissue staining and treatments for cancer and neurological disorders, methylene blue is now being explored for its ability to enhance mitochondrial function, boost metabolism, and support cognitive performance through its redox properties. The episode stresses the importance of using pharmaceutical-grade, third-party-tested products due to contamination risks and highlights that oral use is considered off-label. Practical tips are shared, like diluting methylene blue with lemon juice to prevent mouth staining, while also noting side effects like blue or green urine. Listeners are encouraged to do their own research, start slowly, and consult a healthcare provider if considering use, as biohacking responsibly is the key to maximizing benefits without unnecessary risks.

In this episode of Decoding Health, Hal Cranmer joins to break down what assisted living really is and how it differs from other types of care models. We dive into the true purpose of hospice care and how cognitive decline, dementia, and chronic disease management are being approached today. Hal shares insight into how aggression in dementia patients is handled compassionately and how their facilities adapted during the challenges of COVID-19. We explore the vital role of food and exercise at every stage of life, the current state of healthcare in America, and the rising concern of polypharmacy—the growing reliance on multiple medications. Finally, we discuss alternative treatments and therapies that could change the future of chronic disease care.

​Hal Cranmer is the owner of A Paradise for Parents Assisted Living, a network of five senior care homes in the Phoenix, Arizona area. A 1989 graduate of the U.S. Air Force Academy, Hal served as a Special Operations pilot until 1999, then flew commercially for US Airways. Following the events of 9/11, he transitioned into the manufacturing sector, where he held leadership roles in supply chain and plant management. In 2015, inspired by personal experiences caring for aging family members, Hal entered the assisted living industry. He now focuses on enhancing residents' health and independence through lifestyle interventions, including nutrition and exercise programs. His innovative approach has led to improved outcomes for residents, such as reduced hospital readmissions and, in some cases, reversal of cognitive decline. ​

In this eye-opening episode, we take a deep dive into the critical topic of Prostate Cancer, its early warning signs, and its complex relationship with Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) and anabolic steroids. The discussion unpacks the role of PSA (Prostate-Specific Antigen) as a key biomarker, the impact of genetics and metabolic health, and why routine testing should start as early as age 30. We explore the real risks and consequences of prostate cancer—including what happens when testosterone levels are medically dropped to zero—and the long-term effects on mental and physical health. The episode also outlines the pharmaceutical interventions used in both prevention and treatment, such as Flomax, Cialis, and Finasteride, while shedding light on the frustrating lag between emerging clinical research and current medical practices. Whether you're currently on TRT or just health-conscious, this episode is a must-listen for every man looking to stay proactive about his long-term health.

In this eye-opening episode of the Decoding Health podcast, Dr. Urban Kiernan dives deep into Human Growth Hormone (HGH) and its role in biohacking, longevity, and performance. He unpacks what HGH actually is—somatotropin, how it's produced by the pituitary gland, and how it influences growth through insulin-like growth factors (IGF-1 and IGF-2). The conversation breaks down the various forms of HGH (injectable, topical, oral), clarifying the science behind what works, what’s a waste of money, and what’s legally prescribed. Dr. Kiernan also explores the growing use—and misuse—of HGH in wellness, sports, and anti-aging, the hidden risks of overuse (like diabetes and cancer proliferation), and the unintended hormonal disruptions caused by trendy weight-loss drugs like Ozempic and semaglutide, especially their impact on teenagers. Listeners get a full-spectrum view of HGH’s therapeutic potential and the biochemical consequences of manipulating the body’s natural hormone systems.
