Feeling drained, dismissed, or stuck on a prescription treadmill? In this episode, Nicole sits down with Dr. Joe Jacko—internal medicine physician, sports-medicine trained longevity expert, and author of Bamboozled, Duped, and Hoodwinked—to unpack what’s broken in modern healthcare and how to advocate for better care.
They dive into why quick-fix prescribing often misses the root cause, how insurance metrics limit appointment time, and what to ask when choosing a physician. Dr. Jacko shares practical ways to boost energy and longevity with nutrition, movement, stress management, sleep, and when hormone replacement therapy or peptides (GLP-1s, BPC-157) may help. You’ll hear about direct primary care, understanding relative vs. absolute risk (NNT), and why simple habits—post-meal walks, strength training, community—outperform most pills.
If you’ve explored functional or integrative options, considered NAD, or just want a doctor who listens, this conversation gives you clear next steps, smart questions, and realistic pathways—whether you’re using insurance or paying out of pocket.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
