Why nicotine and gooning are frying young men’s brains... this doctor explains

from Santa Cruz Medicinals Radio · host Brendan

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Abud Bakri to talk through health, performance, and longevity without the extremes. We cover GLP-1s and weight-loss drugs, who they’re actually for, heart health and lab work, peptides and recovery, sleep, fasting and hydration, and how to think about diet without getting lost in internet debates. We also touch on the limits of the medical system, why prevention matters, and using health as a tool to live better. Toward the end, Dr. AlBakri shares his work with Gaza Health, a volunteer-run telemedicine initiative providing medications and care to patients in Gaza.
