About 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. Let’s cut through the noise and misinformation and, together, create a path to a healthier, happier, and more fulfilling life. Subscribe now to The Healthspan Podcast and take the first step towards transforming your health and the quality of your life.

Published 20 Oct 2026 · Transcript excerpt
[…] It's like, I've never felt better. I lost 40 pounds doing this. I'm at peak performance. And they have no idea that they're actually, that the mechanism that causes the disease is the thing they're putting into place because they feel great everywhere else. That there's really two different, they're very different things. 100%. And you bring up such a good point there. These days, we don't need to guess anymore. In the past, it made sense to just say, live your life as healthy as you can. Be active, eat healthy. You're at least taking that off the table and then let the chips fall.
