Q&A 469: The New, Science-Backed Way To Keep Your Metabolism Elevated, Best Biohacks For Addiction, Healing Joints Fast Using Modern Medicine & Much More!

Full show notes: BenGreenfieldLife.com/prologue

In this episode, stem cell scientist Dr. Yaron Fuchs reveals how an accidental lab finding, a compound that turned every hair white, led to Prologue, a peptide serum built to help you keep the natural hair color you still have. You’ll hear why hair goes gray in the first place, how the stem cells that run your pigment “factory” decide whether to live or die, and how his team shrank a large protein into six peptides small enough to reach the follicle.

You’ll also learn the surprising story behind finasteride, from castrated men who never went bald to a rare mutation in the Dominican Republic, and why hair loss medicine has barely advanced in decades. We dig into what his clinical study found, when to start treatments if you want to stay ahead of your first grays, and whether a red light helmet has any real benefits for hair. You’ll also hear how I fit the serum into my morning routine, and how Dr. Fuchs’ lab can grow and test your own hair follicles from a urine sample.

The NEW Peptide That Keeps Your Hair From Going Gray (& The Future Of NOT Losing Your Hair!), With Dr. Yaron Fuchs of Prologue.

Full show notes: BenGreenfieldLife.com/rory

In this episode, Rory Vaden, author of Take the Stairs and cofounder of Brand Builders Group, tackles why people who know exactly what to do still don’t do it, and why the problem is rarely a lack of information. You’ll hear the three types of procrastination, why discipline has less to do with willpower than with vision, and how to multiply your time by spending it on things that create more time tomorrow.

You’ll also learn where biohacking crosses from smart tools into shortcuts, why buffalo run straight into storms, and the return-on-time math behind the AI tool I built to tame my WhatsApp groups, along with why automating chaos only creates chaos faster. We dig into overloaded morning routines, the social pressure of living in an escalator world, and the photo of my 80-year-old self that hangs on my wall, plus how to grab Rory’sWealthy and Well-Known audiobook for free.

Procrastination Isn't A WILLPOWER Problem: How To Multiply Your Time *Without* Working Harder, With Rory Vaden

Full show notes: BenGreenfieldLife.com/surgicalathlete

In this episode, orthopedic surgeon Dr. Reza Jazayeri shows you how to prepare for and recover from surgery like an athlete, from the strength you build beforehand to the nutrients, technologies, and anesthesia choices that shape how you heal. You’ll hear why your biology, not the surgeon’s hardware, is now the weak link, why weak quads going into a knee surgery predict how well you function afterward, how he harvests your own cells mid-operation, and why going into surgery starving is outdated. He also explains why the protein guidelines most people follow fall short after an operation, and what NASA’s bed rest studies revealed about the best way to hold on to muscle.

You’ll also learn which amino acids, vitamins, and minerals he uses before and after an operation, where pulsed electromagnetic field therapy (PEMF), hyperbaric oxygen, and red light fit into recovery, which supplements to stop beforehand, and how too much zinc can block copper. We dig into ketones, growth hormone, peptides, and the one-week pause he puts on blood vessel-building peptides after surgery, and I share the stack I would personally use, plus why I banked my own bone marrow stem cells and fat stem cells years ago. Speak with your own physician or surgeon before implementing anything you hear.
