Functional Medicine and Cardiology: Dr. Campanile at Longevity 2025
Dr. Giovanni Campanile took part in the Longevity Conference 2025, offering a perspective that goes beyond conventional cardiology. His approach weaves together functional medicine and heart health, shifting the focus from managing illness to building lasting vitality. A timely discussion…
How Insulin Actually Controls Your Brain’s Hunger Signals
Insulin is often reduced to a single task: lowering glucose after meals. But its influence stretches well past the bloodstream. It speaks directly to the brain, weaving itself into circuits that decide when you feel hungry, when you feel satisfied,…
Expert Classes in Longevity and Cardio
Over 100 hours of advanced, physician-only education set the stage for something more than routine learning; it’s an immersion. Within this collection sits Dr. Giovanni Campanile’s class on the art and science of cardiovascular health, where longevity isn’t spoken of…
Your Gut Controls Your Metabolism More Than You Think
Most people picture metabolism as a furnace in the muscles or a calculation in the liver. But much of it begins in the lining of your small intestine. Tiny hormone-secreting cells live there, waiting for food to arrive. When they…
Is GLP-1 the Start of a Smarter, More Personalized Future?
Once buried in gut tissue, GLP-1 looked like a biochemical footnote. Then it turned out to be a switch. Flip it on, and the body downshifts: slower stomach emptying, steadier insulin, quieter appetite. A brake pedal masquerading as a hormone….
Can We Rethink Obesity Treatment for Kids and Teens?
Child and adolescent obesity isn’t a single issue. It’s biology, behavior, food environments, sleep, screens, stress, and, more recently, powerful metabolic medicines. The old recipe of “eat less, move more” helps some, but not nearly enough. We need tools that…
When Weight Loss Improves More Than Weight
We’re used to seeing weight loss as a before-and-after photo. The number changes, the pants fit, and that’s the win. But the deeper story? The one unfolding in the blood vessels, the brain, the immune system? That’s the real transformation….
What GLP-1 Really Taught Us About Inflammation and Disease
GLP-1 entered the spotlight for its ability to help regulate insulin and curb appetite. A neat solution for diabetes, they said. A useful tool for weight loss, maybe. But the more we studied it, the more it unraveled something much…
How Hormones Are Redefining Preventive Medicine
For years, preventive medicine meant catching disease early, checking boxes, running labs, and measuring the decline just before it happened. Helpful? Sure. But it still kept us chasing symptoms. Now, something different is emerging. Not a test. Not a scan….
Obesity Isn’t Just About Willpower, Here’s the Science
If willpower were enough, obesity wouldn’t be a global crisis. People try. They count, track, sweat, and restrict. They follow plans, fall off, and get back on. It’s not a lack of effort; it’s a system rigged to make them…
