What you’ll learn: 
• What a quantifiably healthy heart looks like on imaging, labs, and function tests  
•  How structure (muscle, valves, conduction) and function (output, rhythm, repair) reveal real long-term heart health 
•  What causes a healthy heart to fail?  
• Biochemical drivers of heart health and how to optimize heart health  

What you’ll learn: 
• Learn the unique biochemistry of bipolar disorder and how the bipolar brain achieves its hyper-functional state 
• How to support brain health and keep the bipolar brain from burning out 

What you’ll learn: 
• What causes a stroke? Is it possible to prevent a stroke? 
• What happens to the brain during a stroke? Is it possible to restore brain function after a stroke? 
• What are the essential biomarkers of stroke risk and recovery? How can you measure them? 

What you’ll learn:
• Good vs bad cholesterol: is there a difference?
• APOE2, APOE3, and APOE4- what's the difference, and why do they matter?
• Cholesterol and mortality: do we have the story backwards?

What you’ll learn: 
• Why do we lose muscle mass and bone density as we age? Is it inevitable? 
• Why maintaining muscle mass and bone density is the most important determinant of health in old age 
• How to build muscle and increase bone density at any age.
