📍 Good news! My original Instagram is back! Please follow my original account at https://www.instagram.com/nathalieniddam/ and also my backup account at https://www.instagram.com/longevitywithnat/. Today, I’m joined by the extraordinary Dr. Richard Horowitz, a board-certified internist, renowned Lyme disease specialist, and the author of Ending Chronic Illness—a book that’s become my new favorite reference guide for understanding the true roots of chronic disease. Dr. Richard Horowitz opens up about his journey from treating diabetes in upstate New York to becoming a medical detective in the heart of the country’s largest Lyme-endemic area, where standard medical training simply wasn’t enough. Patient by patient, he pieced together a radical new model for uncovering where inflammation really comes from—one that’s now transforming lives well beyond Lyme. Take this FREE Questionnaire https://cangetbetter.com/symptoms/ to determine your likelihood of having Lyme and associated tick-borne disorders. His book then lays out what kind of testing and care could help.

Together, we dive into one of the biggest topics of our time—microplastics. With fresh research showing a 74% reduction in blood microplastics in just one month, Heather Hutchens and Dr. Debra Kimless from Pure BioHealth open up about what that means for our health, our pets, and how we think about longevity. In this eye-opening conversation, we break down how microplastics don’t just clutter our environment—they infiltrate our bodies, disrupt cellular energy, drive chronic inflammation, and even pass through to future generations. We also get real about the hidden sources of plastic exposure all around us, including the products we think are “healthy,” and why our companion animals may be the environmental sentinels we’ve been ignoring.

In our conversation, Dr. Crista reveals how she uncovered the hidden world of mold and mycotoxins—not just as respiratory irritants, but as stealthy drivers of fatigue, brain fog, hormone disruption, and accelerated aging. She shares her early experiences working with “non-responders” in Lyme disease, and how uncovering toxic mold exposures transformed her entire understanding of whole-body health.

Today, I’m mixing things up with a special episode that takes you on a tour through some of the most compelling moments from the past quarter. Rather than a typical interview or solo deep dive, I’ve curated standout clips from episodes that lit a fire under important longevity conversations and resonated deeply with both me and the team. We’ll cover the markers that could signal your body’s terrain is welcoming to cancer, practical strategies for calming an agitated nervous system when mast cell issues show up (especially with age), and the truths about Lyme disease that most people—maybe even your doctor—completely miss. You’ll also hear expert advice on EMF protection that separates real solutions from the noise, and gather insights on long COVID that go way beyond the headlines and arm you with things you can actually do. Whether you’re here to pick up new tips for optimizing your health or just looking for that nudge of inspiration to dig deeper into your own wellness journey, this longevity mix has something for you.

For years, we've been told to prioritize our muscles, our hormones, and our heart health—but what about our brains?

📍 Please don’t forget to follow my NEW Instagram account at https://www.instagram.com/longevitywithnat/ Most people think that if they can just find the right mold test, they'll finally have their answer. But what if that's exactly what's keeping them stuck? In this episode, I'm joined once again by mold investigator and building health expert Jason Earle, and we challenge some of the biggest assumptions surrounding mold illness. We unpack why modern homes may be working against our health, why the building itself should be viewed as part of your wellness ecosystem, and why one test can never tell the whole story. If you've been dealing with unexplained symptoms, wondering whether your home could be part of the equation, or simply want to create a healthier environment for yourself and your family, this conversation will completely change the way you think about the place you call home.

📍 Please don’t forget to follow my NEW Instagram account at https://www.instagram.com/longevitywithnat/ For years we've talked about longevity as if the answer is hiding in the next supplement, biomarker, or miracle molecule. But what if we've been looking at aging through far too narrow a lens? Today's guest, Dr. Marios Kyriazis, has spent decades challenging that idea by exploring aging through medicine, complexity science, cybernetics, and even philosophy. We unpack what bioregulators actually are, why so much of the conversation around them has become overhyped, and how concepts like hormesis, adaptation, and even our relationship with technology may shape how we age. This is one of those conversations that starts with peptides and ends with a much bigger question: what does it really mean to build a longer, healthier life?

We explore why your skin may be the most honest reflection of your biological age, how mitochondrial health and cellular repair influence the way you age, and why not all exosome products are created equal.
