#298 - Why AI Won’t Replace Doctors—But Will Change Everything Else | Dr. Ami Bhatt + Mike Haney

<p>We can measure more about our health than ever before. Wearables track everything from heart rhythms to glucose trends, and AI can now identify patterns clinicians might miss. But more data does not automatically mean better health outcomes.</p><p><br></p><p>In this episode, cardiologist and digital health expert Dr. Ami Bhatt joins Mike Haney to explore why medicine still struggles with prevention, how continuous health data can help patients take more agency, and where AI may actually improve care—not by replacing doctors, but by helping clinicians navigate the right information at the right time.</p><p><br></p><p>They discuss the promise and pitfalls of wearables, the challenge of turning constant streams of health information into useful action, and why the future of medicine may depend on what Dr. Bhatt calls “collaborative intelligence”: humans and AI working together to make better decisions earlier.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>About the guest:</strong> Dr. Ami Bhatt is the chief innovation officer (CIO) at the American College of Cardiology and the Chair of the FDA Digital Health Advisory Committee. She received her undergraduate degree at Harvard University and her Doctor of Medicine at Yale University School of Medicine, and was the Director of Outpatient Cardiology, TeleCardiology, and Adult Congenital Heart Disease at the Massachusetts General Hospital.</p><p><br></p><p>Sign Up to Get Your Free Ultimate Guide to Glucose: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠<a href="https://levels.link/wnl?utm_campaign=Bhatt" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://levels.link/wnl</a>⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</p><p><br></p><p>🎙 <strong>What Dr. Ami Bhatt &amp; Mike Haney discuss:</strong></p><ul><li><strong>1:19</strong> Why heart disease remains the leading killer despite medical advances</li><li><strong>10:17</strong> The opportunity and risk of detecting disease earlier</li><li><strong>17:38</strong> What wearables are actually useful for today</li><li><strong>30:16</strong> When health tracking creates more anxiety than insight</li><li><strong>37:12</strong> Why AI should guide doctors, not replace them</li><li><strong>44:27</strong> Dr. Bhatt on “collaborative intelligence” in medicine</li><li><strong>1:18:30</strong> Why the future is human judgment plus AI, not AI alone</li></ul><p><br></p><p>Levels helps you see how food affects your health, empowering you with the tools needed to achieve health goals and improve healthspan.

#297 - Does Most Chronic Disease Come Down to “Energy Flow?” | Greg Mushen and Josh Clemente

<p>Metabolic health is often simplified to a matter of blood sugar, but at its root, it is a complex system of energy substrate signaling. While many view chronic disease as an inevitable part of aging, a systems-thinking approach reveals that maintaining high &quot;flux&quot;—the capacity to efficiently move and clear energy through the body—is the primary lever for longevity. Without the stimulus of regular movement, even the most optimized diet can fail to prevent the accumulation of metabolic waste that leads to insulin resistance and heart disease.</p><p><br></p><p>In this episode, we sit down with Greg Mushen, a technologist who turned his engineering mind toward his own biology after conventional medicine failed to address his chronic health issues. Mushen breaks down his &quot;Theory of Flux&quot; and why he believes the key to disease resistance lies in meeting our body&#39;s &quot;clearance burden&quot;. From studying the activity levels of hunter-gatherer populations to debunking myths about walking and V2 max, Mushen provides a data-driven framework for optimizing health through the lens of evolutionary biology and systems engineering.</p><p><br></p><p>Sign Up to Get Your Free Ultimate Guide to Glucose: <a href="https://levels.link/wnl?utm_campaign=mushen" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://levels.link/wnl⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a></p><p><br></p><p><strong>In this episode, we cover</strong>:</p><ul><li><strong>The Theory of Flux</strong>: Understanding health as the dynamic capacity to move nutrients and fuel through the system rather than a static set of markers.</li><li><strong>Insulin Resistance Reimagined</strong>: Why blood sugar is a symptom, not the root cause, and how fat accumulation in the liver and muscle disrupts signaling.</li><li><strong>The Power of PAL</strong>: Why a Physical Activity Level (PAL) of 2.0 is the &quot;golden ratio&quot; observed in disease-free subsistence populations.</li><li><strong>Walking vs. HIT</strong>: De-bunking the idea that you need high intensity to improve V2 max and why the &quot;area under the curve&quot; for oxygen consumption is what matters.</li><li><strong>The Saturated Fat Paradox</strong>: Comparing the Messiah and Chimané populations to understand how high activity levels can mitigate the risks of high-fat diets.</li><li><strong>Fiber as a Sensor</strong>: Why fiber is more than just &quot;throughput&quot; and acts as a critical environmental sensor for metabolic signaling.</li><li><strong>The &quot;Walking Grifter&quot; Philosophy</strong>: Why walking is the most under-leveraged tool for increasing metabolic flux with the lowest recovery cost.</li></ul><p><br></p><p>🎙 <strong>What Greg Mushen &amp; Josh Clemente discuss:</strong></p><ul><li><strong>[00:53]</strong> — Greg’s transition from tech engineering to &quot;debugging&quot; his own biology.</li><li><strong>[06:55]</strong> — The mold exposure and chronic fatigue that sparked a deep dive into primary literature.</li><li><strong>[11:36]</strong> — How correcting a copper deficiency became a &quot;point of light&quot; for understanding micronutrients.</li><li><strong>[20:53]</strong> — Lessons from the Messiah: High saturated fat intake paired with extreme physical activity.</li><li><strong>[25:26]</strong> — Defining Flux: The capacity to clear substrate and prevent metabolic accumulation.</li><li><strong>[30:26]</strong> — The PAL 2.0 threshold: Why doubling your basal metabolic rate is the key to warding off chronic disease.</li><li><strong>[51:10]</strong> — Lipid Kinetics: Using the &quot;sink and drain&quot; analogy to understand LDL residence time.</li><li><strong>[01:00:19]</strong> — The Integral of Oxygen: Why walking 15,000 steps can be as effective for V2 max as short bursts of HIT.</li><li><strong>[01:17:16]</strong> — Why Greg changed his mind on plant-based vs. animal protein.</li><li><strong>[01:28:24]</strong> — Greg&#39;s personal stack: From 15k steps and resistance training to PD5 inhibitors and custom fiber blends.</li></ul><p><br></p><p>Levels helps you see how food affects your health, empowering you with the tools needed to achieve health goals and improve healthspan.
