You want to have a spectacular life. You want to live longer as long as you are healthy mentally and physically.
This podcast has been a vision of mine for the last two and a half years. As I continue to share with people the astounding results, 90% extension of life in test subjects, reported in peer-reviewed published research about our molecule ESS60, I started to think about what it would be like to live longer. Not just longer, but ALOT longer. I also started thinking about how living longer would disrupt the vision many people had about their lives and the final years of that life.
This podcast is big enough to cover all aspects of Living Beyond the Norms but it will start and probably focus on health and longevity and the cutting-edge research which promises significantly longer and healthier living. It will also cover the unconventional strategies employed today by today's experts to help people Live Beyond the Norms.

    How to Avoid Breaking a Hip as You Grow Older | Dr. John Neustadt
    Jul 7 2026
    A bone fracture happens roughly every 30 seconds. However, most people do not find out their bones are fragile until they are already on the floor. By then, the window to prevent it has usually been open for decades. For women, the lifetime risk of breaking a bone equals the combined risk of breast, uterine, and ovarian cancer. The bone density test most doctors rely on to catch this predicts less than half the people who will fracture. For men, it is even worse: closer to one in five Dr. John Neustadt is a naturopathic physician and researcher who has spent his career working out what medicine should be measuring instead. His book Fracture-Proof Your Bones is the result of that work. "If you tell me what your habits of diet and lifestyle are, I can predict with pretty good certainty what diseases you'll be suffering with in the decades to come." ~ Dr. John Neustadt Support the show and get 50% off MCT oil with free shipping—just leave us a review on iTunes and Spotify and let us know! https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/live-beyond-the-norms/id1714886566 Resources Mentioned Fracture-Proof Your Bones by Dr. John Neustadt: https://a.co/d/0cJDkHSK Delivering Health podcast: https://nbihealth.com/podcast/ About Dr. John Neustadt Dr. John Neustadt is a naturopathic physician, researcher, and founder of Nutritional Biochemistry Inc (NBI), a supplement company he started in 2006.

  • How a Keto Diet Can Potentially Help People Get Off Psychiatric Medications | Matthew Bernstein, MD

    How a Keto Diet Can Potentially Help People Get Off Psychiatric Medications | Matthew Bernstein, MD
    Jul 3 2026
    Dr. Bernstein is a clinical psychiatrist with 25 years of experience. But when two of his three sons developed autoimmune encephalitis, the conventional medicine he had trusted his entire career had almost nothing to offer. So he went out and found the answers himself. What Dr. Bernstein found made me so interested in sitting down and having a discussion with him. He believes depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorder are not brain chemistry problems. Instead, he thinks these are metabolic disorders, and more surprisingly, that they could be treated with a relatively simple lifestyle change. Dr. Bernstein believes that going keto and introducing a strict workout regimen can treat conditions that most psychiatrists medicate and move on from. During our conversation, we talked about his sons, how ketosis bypasses brain insulin resistance, and how the upcoming studies could change psychiatry forever.

  • What Can We Learn From the Most Genetically Modified Human Alive? | Liz Parrish

    What Can We Learn From the Most Genetically Modified Human Alive? | Liz Parrish
    Jun 30 2026
    In 2015, Liz Parrish flew to Colombia and let someone inject an untested gene therapy into her body 150 times. She texted her kids that she loved them before it started. When it was over, she went for nachos. Ten years later, her telomeres are longer than when she started, and she has taken 12 gene therapies in total. Her decade of self-experimentation has produced peer-reviewed data, a growing protocol of gene therapies, and a company training its sights on making biological aging optional. Our conversation goes over what it took to become patient zero and what gene therapy for aging looks like in practice today, among other things. "In order to survive the future of this planet, genetic modification for the species will be inevitable." ~ Liz Parrish Support the show and get 50% off MCT oil with free shipping—just leave us a review on iTunes and Spotify and let us know! https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/live-beyond-the-norms/id1714886566 Resources Mentioned The Transhumanism Handbook edited by Newton Lee: https://www.amazon.com/Transhumanism-Handbook-Newton-Lee/dp/3030169197 About Liz Parrish Liz Parrish is the founder and CEO of BioViva Sciences USA Inc., a gene therapy company focused on extending healthy human lifespan.
