278. Dr. Jason Snibbe: On Why Meniscus Surgery Backfires, Prehab, Peptides, & Robotic Joint Surgery Jun 16, 2026 3394 Most people are told a torn meniscus needs surgery to "clean it out".  But in this episode, orthopedic surgeon Dr. Jason Snibbe tells me that roughly 30% of those patients end up needing a full knee replacement within three to six months, because the cleanout itself is trauma that speeds up the joint's breakdown. Instead, he uses a simple platelet-rich plasma injection that gets many patients 70 t

Brandon Sawalich: On The Science of Hearing Loss, Dementia Prevention & AI Hearing Technology Jun 4, 2026 2232 One in six teenagers right now has measurable hearing loss, and almost nobody is talking about it. In this conversation with Brandon Sawalich of Starkey Hearing Technologies, we pull back the curtain on what Brandon calls a “quiet pandemic” driven by earbuds, concerts, and a generation blasting sound directly into their cochlea. If you’re still pounding music through your earbuds on a daily basis,

That moment is where this episode starts, and it's why he and I ended up partners in the Ultimate Longevity Centers two decades l
