Myers Detox Podcast

How many people are pre-diabetic right now and have absolutely no idea? The numbers are staggering, and left unchecked, this subtle condition can eventually cost people their mobility, organs, and even their lives.
I'm joined by John Goldman, founder of Rebel Health Alliance, who turned his health crisis at 45 into a mission to help others avoid the same predicament. He walks us through the diagnostics that revealed he was (in his words) a metabolic disaster, and the seven-part philosophy he used to reverse it. 
We get into why walking after meals is one of the most underrated tools for blood sugar control, what a continuous glucose monitor can teach you about your body, and why John believes healthcare should involve a coordinated team instead of a single rushed doctor's visit. 
We also explore GLP-1 medications, muscle loss, and why so many people are setting themselves up to fail when they misuse these powerful drugs. 
 
"Don't be afraid of the fact that your blood sugar spikes, because it's going to spike whenever you eat anything. You can lower blood sugar by just getting up and moving around." ~ John Goldman

About John Goldman:
When doctors told John Goldman he was fine, he felt anything but. He was tired, overworked, and uninspired by a healthcare system that waits for people to get sick before doing anything about it. So, he decided to rebel. As the Founder & CEO of Rebel Health Alliance, John built a new kind of healthcare company—one designed to make you stronger, sharper, and more resilient right now. And to prove what's possible, he's turning himself into the ultimate case study: transforming from average to elite, aiming to qualify for the Boston Marathon in 18 months or less.

Have you optimized your diet, dialed in your supplements, but you're still exhausted, foggy, and can't sleep? What if the missing piece isn't another protocol, but the fact that you're spending 93% of your life indoors?
In this episode, I sit down with Dr. John La Puma to unpack the science behind his new book, Indoor Epidemic. We get into why the brightness of outdoor light governs half your genes, and why your bedtime predicts longevity better than your total hours of sleep.
Dr. John explains the minimum effective dose of outdoor time your body needs, why "light first, coffee second" matters, and simple ways to turn nature into a free, powerful medical intervention. 
 
"Having a two-hour forest bathing session can improve natural killer cell activity and number by 56%." ~ Dr. John La Puma

 
In This Episode:
- What is the indoor epidemic?
- How light sets your circadian rhythm
- The 17-minute effective dose and morning light protocol 
- How gardening impacts the microbiome
- Additional tips to explore outdoors more
- Benefits of watching the sunrise and sunset
- The 7-day Outdoor Rx reset program
- Where to get Dr. John's book and more resources

One of the biggest problems with healthcare isn't a lack of data, but the fact that none of it is connected. We have lab results, wearables, environmental exposures, sleep scores, and medical records scattered in different places. Yet we're often left without a clear picture of what all that information actually means for our health.
I sat down with Nasim Afsar to explore how artificial intelligence could help us bring those pieces together. We talked about using tools like Claude and Gemini for health questions, the limitations of today's AI models, privacy concerns, and why relying too heavily on numbers can disconnect you from what your body is telling you.
We also look at where healthcare is headed, from continuous monitoring and predictive analytics to personalized prevention before symptoms become bigger problems. You'll hear about how to filter through biohacking noise, make smarter decisions with your health data, and use technology without letting it replace your own judgment.
 
"Large language models have access to a wealth of information that can help you better understand what your information says, and potentially brainstorm about what else could be going on." ~ Nasim Afsar
 
In This Episode:
- The pillars of intelligent health
- Using AI to analyze complex health symptoms
- Best LLMs and wearables for health data
- Avoiding health optimization overload
- Monitoring and consolidating data for health intelligence
- Bias in AI recommendations
- How algorithms shape health information
- Three steps to take charge of your health
- AI health tools and where to get Nasim's book

Are your hormones really the problem, or is your body missing the nutrients it needs to function properly? If you've accepted painful periods, PMS, mood swings, or low energy as "normal," this conversation may completely change the way you think about hormone health. 
Joining me is Izzy Fischer, founder of DailyBasis, who shares the science behind cycle syncing nutrition and why women have different nutritional needs throughout the menstrual cycle. We cover the roles of estrogen and progesterone and why iron and B vitamins matter for women of all ages.
You'll understand why foundational nutrition matters long before PMS symptoms become severe and how building healthy habits today can support hormonal resilience for years to come, especially in menopause.
 
"PMS is not normal. We should not all be in pain; we should be feeling relatively good most of the time." ~ Izzy Fischer
 
In This Episode:
- Izzy's nutrition and entrepreneurship background
- Nutrients that women need to optimize hormones
- Estrogen and progesterone cycle explained
- Core nutrients for women: Iron and vitamins
- Why foundational nutrition matters from a young age
- How DailyBasis supplements work for women
- Testimonials and where to buy DailyBasis supplements

What if the fatigue, poor sleep, and slow healing you've chalked up to "just getting older" actually trace back to one molecule you stopped making enough of at 40? Melatonin isn't just a sleep aid. It's your mitochondria's master antioxidant, and its levels fall off a cliff right when you need it most.
In today's episode, Dr. John Lieurance joins me to break down why that drop matters so much for energy, detox, and brain health. He shares the research behind super-physiological melatonin dosing,  why suppositories outperform oral and IV delivery, and how melatonin clears heavy metals from the brain. 
We talk about his health crisis, root causes of enlarged prostate, and the peptides he uses for skin and tissue repair. We also dig into mold detox, craniosacral therapy, and heart rate variability as a longevity marker. 
 
"400 times more melatonin is secreted by the lining of your gut, triggering microbiome swarming that stimulates the good bacteria to proliferate and inhibit the bad bacteria." ~  Dr. John Lieurance
 
In This Episode:
- Addressing prostate inflammation at the Advanced Rejuvenation clinic
- Mitochondrial stress from endogenous and exogenous toxins
