Host Dave Asprey sits down with Jenny McCarthy Wahlberg, a New York Times bestselling author, actress, comedian, and 14-season judge on The Masked Singer who became one of the most trusted voices in the autism community after her son’s regression following a vaccine reaction. She documented his recovery in books including Louder Than Words and Healing and Preventing Autism, founded the vegan, cruelty-free beauty brand Formless Beauty, and now develops unscripted television, documentaries, and podcasts with her husband Donnie Wahlberg through their Work Baby Productions banner under a first look deal with Lionsgate.
Dave and Jenny trace her son’s autism diagnosis back to a vaccine reaction and walk through the biohacking protocol that helped him recover, including candida detox, activated charcoal binders, collagen and hypermobility support, and hacking his gut with a low toxin diet that removed wheat and dairy. They connect autism to mitochondria energy collapse and neuroinflammation, and explain how nootropics like modafinil restore focus without the crash of stimulants.
The conversation moves into longevity and human performance strategies for adults, covering low dose Cialis for brain blood flow, DHEA and thyroid optimization for women over 35, peptide protocols including melanotan and Retatrutide, cyclical ketosis and fasting alternatives, and why hormone replacement therapy reverses aging instead of causing cancer.
You’ll Learn:
-How mold and candida trigger PANS and PANDAS, and why they mimic autism symptoms
-Why activated charcoal timing determines whether it works as a binder
-The link between collagen, hypermobility, and leaky gut in autism and long-term brain function
-How modafinil, nicotine, and Cialis support brain optimization, focus, and mitochondria function
-Why hormone replacement therapy and DHEA reverse aging in women after 35
-The truth about ketosis supplements, structured water, and alkaline water myths
-How darkness, light exposure, and electrolytes rebuild sleep optimization and metabolism
