- Why the foundation comes first: Ken argues that sleep, nutrition, movement, and stress resilience set the stage, and that more advanced tools like stem cells or senolytics tend to work better only once those basics are in place.
- Medicine as ‘human behavior informed by science’: How Ken opens a visit with the person rather than the chart, and why a patient’s story, in the tradition of narrative medicine, can be as revealing as any test.
- Where brain medicine is heading: Ken’s take on neuroplasticity, the BDNF pathway that links exercise and psychedelics like ketamine, and how he uses tracking and AI to personalize care, described from his clinical experience rather than as promised results.
