Fluoride is credited with slashing cavities—and questioned for possible effects on IQ and thyroid at higher doses. As a Stanford-trained physician in longevity, I walk through what fluoride is, how it works on enamel, where risk shows up (and at what levels), and how to keep the benefits while minimizing downsides—especially for pregnancy, infants, kidney disease, and heavy tea drinkers.What you’ll learn• How fluoride hardens enamel (hydroxyapatite → fluorapatite)• Why total exposure matters today (toothpaste, rinses, processed foods, tea)• The IQ and thyroid signals at greater than 1.5 mg/L and who should be cautious• Practical steps: testing your water, RO/distillation, kids’ toothpaste dosing, and topical vs systemic exposureChapters

Is your “zero sugar” soda actually helping your health—or setting you up for hidden risks?Every minute, the world consumes 80 million teaspoons of sugar—fueling obesity, fatty liver, diabetes, and even cancer. No wonder shelves are full of “sugar-free” alternatives. But are artificial sweeteners like aspartame and sucralose any safer? What about sugar alcohols, rare sugars like allulose, or natural extracts like stevia and monk fruit?In this episode, Dr. Hillary Lin, Stanford-trained longevity physician, cuts through the hype to reveal:
Key Takeaways:✓ Artificial sweeteners may still spike insulin and alter your microbiome✓ Erythritol has been linked to doubled heart attack & stroke risk at high intake✓ Allulose may improve gut health and glucose control — a rare bright spot✓ Stevia and monk fruit are safe when pure, but check labels for fillers✓ Resetting your sweet tooth is the real longevity unlockChapters

The future of medicine isn’t locked in elite labs or billion-dollar research centers — it’s sitting in the very place most of us overlook: primary care.
In this episode, Dr. Hillary Lin (Stanford-trained physician, entrepreneur, and longevity expert) pulls back the curtain on how we can transform everyday checkups into longevity-focused, proactive care. Forget rushed appointments and reactive “sick care.” The new model of primary care is about advanced biomarkers, genetic insights, AI-powered tools, and personalized health plans designed to extend not just lifespan, but healthspan.
We’ll explore:
• Why the traditional primary care system is broken — and how to fix it
• The role of advanced diagnostics, wearables, and genetic testing in preventive care
• How AI can supercharge clinicians, turning data into personalized longevity strategies
• New business and payment models (concierge, hybrid, wellness clubs, medspas) that make this future possible
• The real path to democratizing advanced medicine — for patients, clinicians, and practice owners alike
This is a vision of healthcare where your doctor isn’t just treating illness — they’re optimizing your biology for the decades ahead.
If you’ve ever wondered whether longevity medicine is just for biohackers, or if it can actually become the standard of care, this episode will change how you think about your next doctor’s visit.
