In this solo episode, Todd tackles the top trending conversations in health and longevity for Fall 2025. From circadian rhythm “microdosing sunlight” to the surprising new shift in cardio research, he shares what’s hype, what’s real, and how he’s applying it all at Stark.
Todd covers:
• Microdosing sunlight to regulate circadian rhythm, melatonin, cortisol, and hormone health.
• Zone 2 vs. aerobic intervals — why intervals may boost compliance and VO₂ max faster.
• Sulforaphane 2.0 for targeted detox and cellular defense, plus how to actually apply it.
• Muscle as the longevity organ — the endocrine role of myokines in aging.
• Ultra-processed foods and the brain — new research linking diet to dementia and depression.
• The ice cream paradox — why joy, sacrifice, and contrast make indulgence sweeter.
Whether you’re curious about the latest longevity headlines or just want to understand how Todd applies them in real life, this episode delivers a grounded perspective on optimizing health while still enjoying life.
⚡ Final Takeaway: Real health isn’t about chasing every trend or living in deprivation—it’s about small, consistent habits and smart sacrifices that make life’s joys even richer.
