What if your doctor actually knew your goals — and helped you live longer to reach them?
In this episode, Captain Curt sits down with Dr. Adam Silberman, a functional medicine expert specializing in longevity, to unpack what truly drives optimal health. They go deep on blood work, burnout, stress, sleep, hormone health, and what it really takes to feel your best in your 40s and beyond.

Dr. Adam shares the story behind why he got into medicine (it’s raw and real), how personalized care can radically change outcomes, and why the standard healthcare model just isn’t enough if you want to thrive. From testosterone to calcium scans, Zone 2 cardio to breathwork, this episode is a masterclass in high-performance health—for anyone who wants to live, move, and lead with purpose.

Whether you’re a busy entrepreneur, a parent, or a pilot trying to stay sharp, this one is packed with practical takeaways and mindset shifts to build a life you don’t need to escape from.
