The Michael Chernow Podcast

Sometimes asking for help is the strongest thing you can do — but there are also moments when it’s just you and God. In this Monday Moment, Michael Chernow reflects on how sobriety taught him to ask for help, while also learning that some battles require you to keep moving even when nobody else is moving with you. He breaks down the difference between your automatic first thought and the second thought you actually have the power to control. Michael also explains why changing your language from “I think” and “I hope” to “I will” and “I am” can completely shift the way you approach hard things. Sometimes you have to become a one-man army long enough to find the people who can match your pace.

In this episode, Michael Chernow sits down with Dr. Sagan Schultz, co-founder and CEO of Sonata, to talk about the future of preventative healthcare and why personalized, doctor-led medicine may be what traditional healthcare has been missing. They break down everything from advanced blood work, whole genome sequencing, epigenetics, DEXA scans, VO2 max, visceral fat, and clinical AI to the downside of obsessing over sleep scores, wearables, and health tracking. Michael and Sagan also get into the emotional side of health, including how stress, social media, and anxiety impact the body more than most people realize. Later, they unpack personalized nutrition, red meat, keto, carnivore, cholesterol, and the promise and pitfalls of GLP-1 medications. If you care about longevity, optimizing your health, and understanding what your body actually needs, this is a conversation you do not want to miss.

In this Monday Moments episode, Michael Chernow gets real about one of the most universal—and somehow still embarrassing—parts of being human: farting. Michael shares the hilarious moment he first farted in front of his wife on a trip to Mexico and how it became an unexpected relationship milestone. From marriage and relationships to getting comfortable enough to completely be yourself, sometimes the little moments say more than we realize. Michael’s message is simple: everybody poops, everybody farts, so maybe we should stop pretending otherwise. And if nothing else, hopefully this episode puts a smile on your face this Monday.
