Metabolic health is deeply tied to mitochondrial function, the "powerhouses" of our cells that drive energy production. When mitochondrial health is compromised, it can lead to a range of issues, from poor energy levels to chronic diseases. Factors such as oxidative stress, poor diet, lack of exercise, and environmental toxins all play a role in mitochondrial dysfunction.

In this episode, we'll explore:

  • What metabolic health really means and why it's essential for overall well-being.

  • How practitioners can simplify the concept for patients and emphasize the importance of lifestyle factors like diet, exercise, and stress management.

  • The role of VO2 Max as a powerful yet underutilized tool for assessing cardiovascular and metabolic health.

VO2 Max, which measures the body's ability to utilize oxygen during exercise, is one of the best indicators of mitochondrial and cardiovascular health. Despite its value, it's not used enough in clinical practice. We'll discuss why this metric matters and how it can be integrated into patient care to provide a more comprehensive picture of health.

 

Join us for this insightful conversation as we redefine what it means to achieve and maintain metabolic health.

Vascular and Sexual Health as Root Cause Drivers for Male Longevity | Miles Spar, MD Vascular and Sexual Health as Root Cause Drivers for Male Longevity | Miles Spar, MD Tue, 24 Feb 2026 12:00:00 +0000 In this episode of the Innovations and Clinical Implementation podcast, hosts Andy Crosby and Dr. Chris D'Adamo explore the synergistic role of nitric oxide and hydrogen sulfide in male sexual longevity with Dr. Miles Spar—a leading authority and educator specializing in men's health and personalized performance medicine. The discussion centers on a recent 600-person randomized trial of Calroy Health Sciences' Vasconox HP, which demonstrated that hydrogen sulfide acts as a natural PDE5 inhibitor to extend the vasodilating effects of nitric oxide for up to 24 hours, significantly improving erectile function and orgasm ability compared to placebo. Dr. Spar highlights the clinical importance of addressing upstream endothelial health rather than relying solely on pharmaceuticals, noting that treating erectile dysfunction in patients with poor metabolic health without fixing nitric oxide production is akin to "filling a bathtub with the drain open".

Mitochondrial Function and Energy Resilience in Clinical Practice with Mitokatlyst | S. Dugar PhD Mitochondrial Function and Energy Resilience in Clinical Practice with Mitokatlyst | S. Dugar PhD Fri, 30 Jan 2026 00:00:00 +0000 In this episode of the Innovations and Clinical Implementation podcast, hosts Dr. Lexi Gonzales and Tom Blue interview Dr. Sundeep Dugar, a pharmaceutical drug hunter with nearly 40 years of experience in small molecule discovery who serves as the co-founder and Chief Scientific Officer at Blue Oak Nutraceuticals. The conversation focuses on the development of Mitocatalyst, a precision-formulated epicatechin designed to mimic the mitochondrial biogenesis normally triggered by exercise. Dr. Dugar reveals his breakthrough discovery that exercise-induced Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) signal the mitochondria to produce a specific steroid—11-beta hydroxyprogesterone—and explains how Mitocatalyst utilizes nanomolar doses of epicatechin to molecularly mimic this steroid, distinguishing it from high-dose antioxidant protocols that paradoxically blunt these beneficial signals. The discussion uses the metaphor of building a "fireplace" (mitochondria) to burn "firewood" (nutrition), positioning the supplement as a critical intervention for aging patients or those unable to exercise.

Redefining Medicine with special guest Dr Robert Lustig Redefining Medicine with special guest Dr Robert Lustig Tue, 09 Jul 2024 10:00:00 +0000 Robert Lustig, MD, MSL is a Professor of Pediatric Endocrinology at the University of California, San Francisco. Dr. Lustig has become a leading public health authority on the impact sugar has on fueling the diabetes, obesity and metabolic syndrome epidemics, and on addressing changes in the food environment to reverse these chronic diseases.

 

In his New York Times best selling book Fat Chance: Beating the Odds Against Sugar, Processes Food, Obesity, and Disease, Robert documents both the science and the politics that have led to the current pandemic of obesity and chronic disease. In the Fat Chance Cookbook, Robert provides practical examples for applying healthy eating principles with recipes by Cindy Gershen.

 

Dr. Lustig is a neuroendocrinologist, with basic and clinical training relative to hypothalamic development, anatomy, and function. Prior to coming to San Francisco in 2001, he worked at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis, TN. There, he was charged with the endocrine care of many children whose hypothalami had been damaged by brain tumors, or subsequent surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy. Many patients who survived became massively obese. Dr. Lustig theorized that hypothalamic damage led to the inability to sense the hormone leptin, which in turn, led to the starvation response. Since repairing the hypothalamus was not an option, he looked downstream, and noted that these patients had increased activity of the vagus nerve (a manifestation of starvation) which increased insulin secretion. By administering the insulin suppressive agent octreotide, he was able to get them to lose weight; but more remarkably, they started to exercise spontaneously. He then demonstrated the same phenomenon in obese adults without CNS lesions.

 

The universality of these findings has enabled Dr. Lustig to weave these threads together into a novel unifying hypothesis regarding the etiology, prevention, and treatment of the current obesity epidemic, and the role of our environment in the biochemical changes that promote weight gain. This has led him to explore the specific role of fructose (half of sucrose and high-fructose corn syrup) as a specific mediator of both chronic disease, and continued caloric consumption. His acclaimed YouTube video, "Sugar: The Bitter Truth" continues its popularity with the lay public.

 

A native of Brooklyn, New York, Dr. Lustig went to Stuyvesant High School in Manhattan, graduated from Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1976, and received his M.D. from Cornell University Medical College in 1980. He completed his pediatric residency at St. Louis Children's Hospital in 1983, and his clinical fellowship at UCSF in 1984. From there, he spent six years as a post-doctoral fellow and research associate in neuroendocrinology at The Rockefeller University. He has also been a faculty member at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and the University of Tennessee, Memphis. In 2013, Dr. Lustig received his Masters in the study of Law from University of California, Hastings to enable him to impact the food industry through policy change.

 

Dr. Lustig has authored 125 peer-reviewed articles and 73 reviews. He has mentored 20 pediatric endocrine fellows, and trained numerous other allied health professionals. He provides endocrinologic support to several protocols of the Children's Oncology Group. He is the former Chairman of the Ad hoc Obesity Task Force of the Lawson Wilkins Pediatric Endocrine Society, a member of the Pediatric Obesity Practice Guidelines Subcommittee of The Endocrine Society, a member of the Obesity Task Force of the Endocrine Society, a member of the Pediatric Obesity Devices Committee of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, a member of the Bay Area Board of Directors of the American Heart Association, and a member of the Steering Committee of Health Foods, Healthy Kids of the Culinary Institute of America. He also consults for several childhood obesity advocacy groups.

 

Dr. Lustig lives in San Francisco with his wife Julie and two daughters. Spare time (what little there is) is spent cooking, theater-going, and traveling.

By administering the insulin suppressive agent octreotide, he was able to get them to lose weight; but more remarkably, they started to exercise spontaneously. He then demonstrated the same phenomenon in obese adults without CNS lesions.

The universality of these findings has enabled Dr. Lustig to weave these threads together into a novel unifying hypothesis regarding the etiology, prevention, and treatment of the current obesity epidemic, and the role of our environment in the biochemical changes that promote weight gain. This has led him to explore the specific role of fructose (half of sucrose and high-fructose corn syrup) as a specific mediator of both chronic disease, and continued caloric consumption. His acclaimed YouTube video, "Sugar: The Bitter Truth" continues its popularity with the lay public.

A native of Brooklyn, New York, Dr. Lustig went to Stuyvesant High School in Manhattan, graduated from Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1976, and received his M.D. from Cornell University Medical College in 1980. He completed his pediatric residency at St. Louis Children's Hospital in 1983, and his clinical fellowship at UCSF in 1984. From there, he spent six years as a post-doctoral fellow and research associate in neuroendocrinology at The Rockefeller University. He has also been a faculty member at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and the University of Tennessee, Memphis. In 2013, Dr. Lustig received his Masters in the study of Law from University of California, Hastings to enable him to impact the food industry through policy change.

Dr. Lustig has authored 125 peer-reviewed articles and 73 reviews. He has mentored 20 pediatric endocrine fellows, and trained numerous other allied health professionals. He provides endocrinologic support to several protocols of the Children's Oncology Group. He is the former Chairman of the Ad hoc Obesity Task Force of the Lawson Wilkins Pediatric Endocrine Society, a member of the Pediatric Obesity Practice Guidelines Subcommittee of The Endocrine Society, a member of the Obesity Task Force of the Endocrine Society, a member of the Pediatric Obesity Devices Committee of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, a member of the Bay Area Board of Directors of the American Heart Association, and a member of the Steering Committee of Health Foods, Healthy Kids of the Culinary Institute of America. He also consults for several childhood obesity advocacy groups.

Dr. Lustig lives in San Francisco with his wife Julie and two daughters. Spare time (what little there is) is spent cooking, theater-going, and traveling.

He also is chair of the Stem Cell Reseach University Maastricht (SCRUM) department. He did his PhD thesis at CARIM on the role of vitamin K1 and K2 in bone metabolism and cardiovascular disease. Dr. Schurgers is currently working on Vitamin K Research. His research work includes molecular biology, biochemistry, animal and human nutrition, pharmacology, and clinical studies in the fields of atherosclerosis and osteoporosis.

His project line aims to elucidate the role of vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs) in vascular remodeling and calcification, and how this is initiated and propagated. Key cellular events of SMCs include phenotypic switching, oxidative stress, inflammation and formation of extracellular vesicles. The regulation of vitamin K-dependent protein biosynthesis, its sites of action and its putative relationship with remodeling and calcification is insufficient to understand the pathogenesis of vascular ageing at a level that allows the development of novel diagnostic tools and therapeutic strategies.

In 2004, Brenner, then a faculty member at Dartmouth College, discovered nicotinamide riboside (NR) to be a vital precursor of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+), which is made available by nicotinamide riboside kinases (Nrks) that are conserved between yeast and humans. In 2007, Dr. Brenner's lab discovered a second pathway by which NR is converted to NAD+ and showed that NR can extend the lifespan of yeast cells by virtue of elevating NAD+ levels and increasing the activity of the NAD+-dependent Sir2 enzyme.

 

In the past decade, Dr. Brenner has made multiple seminal contributions to NAD+ metabolism, which include engineering a yeast strain to convert inexpensive NAD+ precursor vitamins into NR, solving the crystal structure of human Nrk1, developing the methods for quantitative NAD+ metabolomics, and demonstrating the activity of oral NR in animal models of fatty liver disease; obesity; type 2 diabetes; diabetic and chemotherapeutic neuropathy; heart failure; and central brain injury. Dr. Brenner also led the first clinical trial of NR, which established safe oral availability in humans. He is currently focusing on the maternal and neonatal effects of oral NR and translating animal discoveries into evidence-based safe, human clinical practice for human conditions of metabolic stress.

He is currently focusing on the maternal and neonatal effects of oral NR and translating animal discoveries into evidence-based safe, human clinical practice for human conditions of metabolic stress.
