Caroline Alan spent years hearing from practitioners that her exhaustion, insomnia, and inflammation were simply part of getting older, until a cup of dark liquid from her future business partner led her to ask whether aging and depletion might be the same thing. In this conversation, the co-founder and CEO of BEAM Minerals and author of The Mineral Reset explains why she believes generations of farming have left soil unable to return minerals to our food, and why humic and fulvic minerals, which come from decomposed ancient rainforests, work in a way a shelf of eighteen separate pills cannot. She also lays out how minerals fuel the mitochondria in every cell, why their number and activity decline with age, and why she considers mineral balance as important as quantity. Listeners will hear her timeline for when people tend to notice changes in energy, recovery, and sleep, along with the symptoms she says are easy to overlook.

Key Moments

“We’ve been treating our soils like a bad bank account where we just keep taking money out, withdrawal, withdrawal, withdrawal, and our soils are depleted.”

“You’ve got all these symptoms, and the symptoms are like boats on the sand. And when the tide comes in, they all raise off the sand at the same time.”

“My light bulb just burns brighter now. It was way dimmed down 10 years ago.”

Say hi to the AGEIST team!

Dr. Jeffrey Bland, 80, draws a sharp line between being elderly and being an elder: one has lost function and become dependent, the other stays wise, capable, and still contributing to the people around them. In this conversation, Dr. Bland explains why he's built his current company, Big Bold Health, around the immune system, since it's the one system embedded in every tissue in the body and central to how we age at the cellular level. The researcher credited with coining the term functional medicine back in 1990 shares results from an 800-person clinical trial on Himalayan Tartary Buckwheat. An ancient Chinese grain his team stumbled into almost by accident, this superfood improved cognitive performance by 27 percent in just 90 days by reprogramming the epigenetic markers on immune cells. Listeners will come away with a clearer picture of how diet, environment, and daily habits can switch specific genes on or off, and why the goal of longevity isn't just more years, but more years spent as the version of yourself still capable of contributing.

Say hi to the AGEIST team!

Paul Coletta isn’t a doctor or a scientist, which he says is exactly why he can explain proteomics in three sentences, not a confusing research paper. In this conversation, the founder of Vero Bioscience walks through what a single vial of blood can reveal about the biological age of eleven different organs. He discusses technology built in Stanford neuroscientist Tony Wyss-Coray’s lab and just spotlighted in TIME’s 2026 Longevity Leaders issue and why his own test came back showing a kidney seven years older than the rest of him–a signal his traditional labs had missed entirely. He makes the case that a single biological age number is the wrong place to stop, since averaging your organs together hides exactly the risk you’d want to catch early. Listeners will hear how Coletta has spent two years running his own N-of-1 experiment in response, adjusting his sleep, light exposure, and supplements, and what it actually takes to turn a prediction into a measurable, reversible result.
