Brooke reflects on the changes she made to her nutrition and lifestyle, the role of prayer in her life, and why she refused to let a diagnosis define her future.

Jordan Rubin healed himself of Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, and cancer using food as medicine — and the foods that saved his life are ones most people have never considered putting on their plate. In this conversation, Jordan and Dr. Axe walk through more than 20 underused healing foods, from organ meats and glandulars packed with natural peptides, to ancient fermented foods like kefir and natto, to wild berries consumed by the world's longest-lived cultures. Each food comes with the science, the history, and practical ways to actually use it.

The belly fat you can’t pinch may matter more than the number on your scale. In this episode, Dr. Axe explores visceral fat—the fat surrounding your internal organs—and seven foods studied for their potential to help reduce it.

Dr. Josh Axe sits down with Stasi, co-author of Captivating and author of The Ladder of Love, to explore how emotional healing and spiritual breakthroughs connect to physical health—and how reexamining our stories can reshape our understanding of God and ourselves.

Fat is not the enemy — fat deficiency is. For decades, the low-fat message stripped the one macronutrient your cells use to build membranes, regulate hormones, and produce energy at the mitochondrial level.

Your body makes its own master antioxidant — but after 40, production drops every year and most people never know it's low until something breaks.

Your hormones, your sleep, your stress, your diet — they may all be affecting your health at a much deeper level than you realize. Dr. Josh Axe sits down with functional medicine expert Dr. Will Cole and fitness and biohacking educator Dylan Gemelli for a no-holds-barred roundtable on what may actually be driving chronic disease, accelerated aging, hormonal dysfunction, and poor metabolic health — and why healing may need to start at the cellular level.

After 40, your biology rewrites the rules — and most people are still playing the old game. In this episode, Dr. Josh Axe breaks down the 7 mistakes that accelerate aging, why the scale is an outdated marker, and what a study of 140,000 people across 17 countries says actually predicts how long you'll live. In this episode: - Why muscle loss after 40 is silent, slow, and almost always preventable — and the two-day-a-week fix that reverses it - The grip strength finding from 140,000 adults that predicts mortality better than blood pressure or cholesterol - Why GLP-1s and aggressive dieting without strength training leave you metabolically weaker, not stronger - The blood markers most doctors skip — fasting insulin, ApoB, and high-sensitivity CRP — and why "normal" isn't the same as optimal - How poor sleep and social isolation are quietly compounding every other health mistake you're making - Josh's personal protocol after recovering from a spinal infection at 41 — and what his 76-year-old water-skiing father proves is possible Grab our free guide for the Bloodwork Markers that Matter Most: https://bit.ly/draxe25bloodworkmarkers Uncover what’s really going on in your body with advanced biomarker testing for hormones, thyroid, and metabolism— plus a 1-hour consultation with a Senior Health Advisor! → http://mybloodwork.com *Disclaimer: The bloodwork our team runs at mybloodwork.com covers a handful of the biomarkers listed in the guide above — including critical thyroid and metabolic markers — plus a 1-hour consultation with a Senior Health Advisor, but does NOT cover all 25.
