Your genetics are never your destiny, even with genetic dispositions, you can prevent Alzheimer’s and optimise longevity. After my conversation with Dr. Darshan Shah of Next Health, I’m convinced we’re living through the biggest revolution in human optimisation since the discovery of antibiotics. The science is crystal clear your immune system is getting hammered by 150,000 environmental toxins that didn’t exist 50 years ago, leading to accelerated aging & chronic disease. But therapeutic plasma exchange & precision diagnostics are changing everything. We’re not just extending lifespan anymore, we’re extending healthspan.

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage

Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
