Dylan and Mark recorded two conversations back-to-back at Changing Life and Destiny, and both are going up on both channels. This time, Dylan is hosting, and Mark is the guest. They get into holistic health, the responsibility that comes with being an "influencer," and how Mark handles the stress of it. He walks through his worst-case-scenario approach to fear, why scripture gets misread, and the difference between knowledge and wisdom in a world leaning more heavily on AI.

  • The Natural Health Industry Has a Problem with Dylan Gemelli

    The Natural Health Industry Has a Problem with Dylan Gemelli
    May 14 2026
    The natural health space was supposed to be the alternative to the mainstream. But lately, it's been looking more like a copy of it. Same one-size-fits-all promises, just dressed up nicer and sold for more. Dr. Mark Young sits down with Dylan Gemelli, one of the few voices in the space who's willing to say it out loud. What follows is a conversation about bad actors, real fundamentals, and the role faith plays in lasting health. Dylan's built a following of 1.5 million on Instagram, runs a top-ranked health and fitness podcast, and has spent years in bodybuilding, neuroscience, and peptides. He's also shared stages with names like Dave Asprey and Ben Greenfield. The two get into why most people are biohacking backwards, the trust problem in wellness, and what actually moves the needle once you strip away the noise. There's a lot of ground to cover, so the conversation got split in two. This is the first part, and the second one is on the way.

  • Pain Isn't Punishment: PEMF, Pilates, and Recovery With Kiki Cordero-Drake

    Pain Isn't Punishment: PEMF, Pilates, and Recovery With Kiki Cordero-Drake
    May 7 2026
    Nearly 1 in 4 American adults lives with chronic pain. But pain is a message, not a punishment. And most of us are missing what the body is trying to say. Recorded at the Changing Life Destiny conference in Plano, Texas, Dr. Mark Young sits down with Kiki Cordero-Drake, a Master Pilates instructor and PEMF practitioner. Alongside her husband, Dr. Sean Drake, she runs a clinic in Scottsdale and works with EQ Flux Wave on bioelectric therapy devices for pain, recovery, and high-performance athletics. What sets Kiki apart is her method. She combines PEMF with active movement in the same session rather than using it as a passive treatment. Kiki describes PEMF as cellular exercise—gentle electromagnetic pulses that recharge the body to support mitochondrial function, circulation, and nervous system regulation. Mark and Kiki cover pre- and post-surgery PEMF protocols, why C-section damage often goes unaddressed, and why pain is the body's signal. The body is wired for survival. We just need to restore cellular energy so that the body is able to do what it already knows how to do.
