Live Beyond the Norms
You want to have a spectacular life. You want to live longer as long as you are healthy mentally and physically.
This podcast has been a vision of mine for the last two and a half years. As I continue to share with people the astounding results, 90% extension of life in test subjects, reported in peer-reviewed published research about our molecule ESS60, I started to think about what it would be like to live longer. Not just longer, but ALOT longer. I also started thinking about how living longer would disrupt the vision many people had about their lives and the final years of that life.
This podcast is big enough to cover all aspects of Living Beyond the Norms but it will start and probably focus on health and longevity and the cutting-edge research which promises significantly longer and healthier living. It will also cover the unconventional strategies employed today by today's experts to help people Live Beyond the Norms.

That constant state of 'go, go, go' feels productive, even powerful, until one day you realize the engine you've been running on is actually your own survival instinct. The very drive that pushes you to succeed might be steering you directly toward burnout, hormonal chaos, and chronic stress.
My guest today, Dr. Mariza Snyder, knows this cycle intimately. She spent years running from childhood trauma, channeling that energy into becoming a hyper-efficient, top-achieving machine. This state of constant alert dysregulated her entire system, leading to the same symptoms of fatigue, anxiety, and weight gain she saw in her perimenopausal patients. Except she was only 30.
In today’s episode, we explore how childhood experiences can wire our brains for a lifetime of hustle, why this leads to addiction to stress hormones like cortisol, and the deep mindset work required to finally get off the hamster wheel. You’ll learn how to spot the signs of a dysregulated system and reclaim your calm with some powerful, in-the-moment tools.
"When you activate that stress response system many times a day to become more efficient in life, it's going to wear and tear on you." ~ Dr. Mariza Snyder
