| 1/11/26 | The Psychedelic Medicine Pipeline 2026: Setbacks and Progress | The psychedelic therapeutics field has reached a pivotal moment in early 2026, marked by Compass Pathways achieving the first positive Phase 3 psilocybin results for treatment-resistant depression (3.6-point MADRS improvement, p<0.001) while the industry recalibrates following the FDA’s August 2024 rejection of Lykos’ MDMA therapy for PTSD due to trial design concerns. Six compounds now hold Breakthrough Therapy Designation, with the most advanced programs including MindMed’s MM-120 LSD (four Phase 3 trials underway for anxiety and depression), Cybin’s CYB003 psilocybin (Phase 3 with 71% 12-month remission in Phase 2), and Transcend’s methylone TSND-201 emerging as a non-hallucinogenic PTSD alternative. The 5-MeO-DMT space is heating up with GH Research’s GH001 showing 57.5% remission and AtaiBeckley’s BPL-003 receiving BTD, while AbbVie’s $1.2 billion acquisition of Gilgamesh’s bretisilocin validates big pharma interest. Spravato’s expanded monotherapy approval and novel oral ketamine formulations (Tasman’s R-107 for at-home use) continue advancing, and a potential FDA policy shift toward single-trial approvals could accelerate timelines—with Compass, MindMed, and Cybin all potentially reaching FDA decisions by late 2026 or 2027. | 17m 43s | ||||||
| 12/4/25 | Nitric Oxide: The Ultimate Vitality Moecule | This episode explains that nitric oxide deficiency is a root cause of many chronic diseases, manifesting first as erectile dysfunction and progressing to hypertension and insulin resistance, while criticizing most NO supplements as ineffective because they don’t restore the body’s damaged production pathways. He advocates for science-backed approaches to replace lost nitric oxide and is pursuing FDA-approved drug therapies to address endothelial dysfunction rather than relying on symptom management. | 15m 24s | ||||||

| 9/16/25 | Natural Thyroid Medicine Under Threat by the FDA: What You Can Do Now | The FDA has just dropped a bombshell that could affect nearly 2 million Americans taking natural thyroid medication. In a controversial move, they’ve reclassified desiccated thyroid extract, or DTE, as a biologic rather than a traditional drug. This means compounding pharmacies have exactly one year before they must stop making the customized thyroid medications that countless patients depend on. Critics are calling foul, arguing the decision is based on an inactive pig protein that gets digested in your stomach anyway, and pointing out that the real active ingredients - T4 and T3 hormones - haven’t changed. What’s really raising eyebrows is that this shift appears linked to a petition from AbbVie, the company behind brand-name Armour Thyroid, potentially setting up a monopoly situation. | 13m 26s | ||||||

| 8/4/25 | Results of the Largest Study on Declining Male Fertility and Hormonal Trends | This podcast episode talks about new research showing that men’s hormone levels—specifically testosterone and luteinizing hormone (LH)—have dropped a lot over the past 50 years. The study looked at data from over a million healthy men and found that this drop isn’t just because men are older or heavier today. Previous studies already showed that sperm quality is getting worse, but this new research suggests that the problem starts higher up, in the brain areas that control hormone production. Scientists aren’t sure exactly why this is happening. They looked at things like environmental changes and shifts in the population but couldn’t find a clear explanation, so it’s probably caused by many things working together. In summary, healthy men today have much lower key hormone levels than men did decades ago, and researchers are still trying to figure out why. | 15m 36s | ||||||
| 7/28/25 | FDA Expert Panel on Menopause and HRT Recommends Removing Black Box Labels | This episode presents an overview of an FDA hearing on menopause, prompted by a campaign addressing the ”black box” warning on vaginal estrogen products. This warning, despite evidence suggesting its safety and localized effect, has deterred both doctors and patients from utilizing it, leading to significant health issues like recurrent UTIs. The discussion also challenged the lingering misinformation from the 2002 Women’s Health Initiative study, which incorrectly linked hormone therapy to severe risks based on a study of an older demographic. Furthermore, the hearing highlighted the lack of FDA-approved testosterone for women, forcing off-label prescriptions, and underscored the importance of comprehensive education for healthcare providers and patients on menopause management. The speaker also noted the absence of discussion on progesterone and emphasized the need for a collaborative healthcare ecosystem involving researchers, regulatory bodies, payers, clinicians, and patients to improve women’s health outcomes. | 14m 12s | ||||||

| 2/26/24 | Understanding The Use of HCG in Men on Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) | In this episode, join Nelson Vergel, founder of ExcelMale.com and DiscountedLabs.com, who shares insights into a hot topic under discussion - the use of HCG in men. Adding weight to the discussion is Alison Woodworth, who possesses vast knowledge on the subject. The discussion revolves around the usage, composition, and benefits of HCG, or human chorionic gonadotropin, related to fertility and testosterone levels in men. Woodworth elaborates on how it can be crucial in testosterone replacement therapy due to its potential to stimulate natural production while minimizing the effect on fertility.

However, Woodworth explains that many medical providers are still unfamiliar with this knowledge and may fail to share this information with their patients. She highlights that the lack of HCG prescriptions covered by insurance has led to the cost burden falling on the patients themselves. Having addressed the approach of using HCG alone in testosterone therapy, Woodworth turns to the best protocols for its use. She discusses the most effective dosages, the methods of administration, side effects, and the reasons why it is typically not administered on its own. The episode concludes with advice to those finding it hard to locate medical providers educated on the use of HCG. It offers resources and networks that can help such individuals advance in managing their testosterone levels. Awareness about HCG is still limited, despite the prolific research and practical applications. Tune into this discussion for a detailed understanding of the benefits of HCG for men.
