Eight hours of sleep. Eight glasses of water. Ten thousand steps a day. Most of those numbers were not science, they were marketing. This episode pulls apart the longevity rules most people still build their lives around, and replaces them with what is actually in the peer reviewed literature.

Dr. Yi Song sits down with Dave Asprey, the entrepreneur who coined the word biohacking and has authored multiple New York Times bestsellers on aging. Recorded in the middle of the Drake Passage on the way to Antarctica, the conversation traces how Dave went from 300 pounds, pre-diabetic, and chronically fatigued in his twenties to a 53 year old who says he feels closer to his mid thirties, and what he stuck with for 25 years to get there.

The conversation gets specific. Stem cells in every joint and three rounds into cerebral spinal fluid, then later guided into the brain at a partner clinic in Costa Rica using functional MRI, magnetic stimulation, and focused ultrasound. MiniCircle plasmid gene therapy with folistatin, VEGF, and Klotho, including what Klotho actually shifted for him around cognition and vitality. Twenty years of red light, lasers, and pulsed electromagnetic work. A five day neuroscience protocol at 40 Years of Zen that he says compresses decades of meditation into a week. And why lavender essential oil, eight hour sleep targets, and the idea that you are simply lazy may all be doing more harm than good.

You can refuse chemo and radiation for some types of breast cancer. The trick is knowing which type, and what the published research actually says.

Dr. Yi Song, dual PhD in Pathology and Oriental Medicine and founder of Stem Cell Therapy Experts, walks through her own 2017 ductal carcinoma in situ diagnosis. She explains why she refused surgery, chemo, and radiation, what the research shows about over-treatment of DCIS, and how she used a genetic panel on her own biopsy sample to make the call. The framing is grounded in 6,000 years of Chinese medicine and modern biomedical science.

In conversation with Cat from Genwell, Dr. Song breaks down the breast-stomach connection in traditional Chinese medicine, what damp heat constitution looks like, why soy gets vilified for the wrong reasons, how to evaluate red light therapy strength and timing, and when an early stem cell injection can replace a knee replacement years down the line. She also previews her upcoming book, Regeneration Effect: Sacred Wisdom for Staying Young.

This is an educational conversation for those exploring regenerative medicine, integrative care, hormone health, and the limits of conventional over-treatment. If you are weighing options after a diagnosis, supporting a loved one, or trying to get ahead of degenerative decline, the framework here is built around root cause, early prevention, body constitution, and tending the garden of your own physiology.

Why do two people take the same cannabis product and have completely different experiences? The answer may be hidden in your DNA.

In this episode, we explore how the endocannabinoid system works and why personalized medicine is becoming essential in modern healthcare. Len May shares his journey from early cannabis use for ADHD to building a platform that combines human genetics with plant science. The conversation dives into how cannabinoids like THC and CBD interact with the body, how genetic markers influence stress response and metabolism, and why dosage and composition matter more than strain names.

We also discuss the limitations of a one-size-fits-all approach in medicine and how emerging tools like pharmacogenomics and AI-driven platforms are helping practitioners create more individualized treatment plans. From inflammation and mood regulation to neuroplasticity and psychedelic therapies, this episode highlights the importance of understanding your unique biology before choosing any intervention.

If you are exploring cannabis, psychedelics, or regenerative therapies, this conversation offers a grounded, science-informed perspective on how personalization can improve both safety and outcomes.
