The Healthspan Podcast
For most of us, the truth is, our health isn’t what we want it to be. We do our best, but it’s a challenge these days. It’s no secret the world can be an unhealthy place and the result is that more than 60% of adults are sick with diseases like high blood pressure, unhealthy weight, high blood sugar, and heart disease. All of that disease is costing us. We are taking tons of medications - spending too much time in doctor’s offices and hospitals - and not living life to the fullest. That’s why I started ”The Healthspan Podcast”. As a cardiologist with over two decades of experience, I’ve seen firsthand the power of lifestyle modification in treating and even reversing the chronic diseases that plague our society. In this podcast, we’ll delve deep into the world of preventive medicine, exploring evidence-based strategies to help you optimize your health, reclaim your vitality, and break free from the cycle of medications and doctor’s visits. Each episode features insightful discussions with leading experts and inspiring stories from individuals who have successfully transformed their health through lifestyle changes. We’ll cover topics like nutrition, exercise, stress management, sleep hygiene, and mental and emotional wellbeing. Our goal is to empower you with practical knowledge and actionable advice for your health journey. Join me, Dr. R. Todd Hurst, MD, FASE, FACE, as we uncover the heart of the matter and embark on a journey towards better health and more vibrant life.

For decades, healthcare has trained us to wait. Wait for symptoms. Wait for abnormal labs. Wait for a crisis.
In this powerful conversation, Dr. Robert Todd Hurst, MD, FACC, FASE sits down with membership medicine pioneer Tom Blue to unpack why that model is failing, and what’s replacing it. Together, they explore the rise of proactive, precision-based care, why insurance is misaligned with true prevention, how technology is compressing the 17-year “translational gap” in medicine, and what it really takes to build a “medical time machine.” They also dive into cognitive longevity, artificial intelligence in healthcare, and why your health is no longer destiny…it’s a skill set.
If you’ve ever wondered why traditional healthcare feels rushed, reactive, and one-size-fits-all… this episode explains why, and shows you a better path forward.

In this episode of The Healthspan Podcast, Dr. Robert Todd Hurst, MD, FACC, FASE, sits down with Rob Liebreich, CEO of Goodwin Living and creator of the revolutionary brain health program, Stronger Memory.

They discuss:
1. Why Rob created the program
2. How his mom reversed cognitive decline and still thrives 13 years later
3. The science behind the brain’s prefrontal cortex and memory

In this episode of The Healthspan Podcast, Dr. Robert Todd Hurst, MD, FACC, FASE, sits down with Dr. Tammy Penhollow, DO, regenerative medicine specialist, Navy veteran, and founder of Precision Regenerative Medicine.
Together, they explore how personalized, precision-guided treatments like PRP and bone marrow therapy are restoring mobility, relieving chronic pain, and helping patients avoid surgery, often after years of failed conventional care.
They discuss the pitfalls of reactive, one-size-fits-all medicine, why “motion span” is essential to longevity, and how true healing starts with fixing the root cause, not masking symptoms. This is Medicine 3.0 in action.
