Life Longevity Zone

☀️003 | The Psoriasis Protocol

Todd Kramer and Tina Kramer — Mon, 01 Sep 2025 16:04:36 GMT

In this revealing episode of the Life Longevity Zone, Todd and Justyna return to the core of root-cause healing: inflammation, gut health, and the surprising role of histamine. They open with a lighthearted chat about their new at-home workouts (booty gains and all), before diving deep into the next stage of Todd’s healing journey. This episode continues the exploration of his gut microbiome results, unpacking the link between psoriasis and leaky gut, high-histamine foods, and how even healthy favorites like avocados and fermented veggies can sometimes fuel inflammation. Justyna breaks down the low-histamine diet, the science of histamine receptors, and why gut repair takes time, tweaks, and total honesty. Together, they reflect on family health patterns, the cost of "comfort," and how we’ve normalized symptoms that are actually cries for help. With humor, humility, and heart, this episode invites us to pause, tune in, and recognize our symptoms as sacred signals. It wraps with an unexpected and heartfelt reflection on the London Marathon, celebrating the perseverance of healing through the lens of endurance, grit, and emotional victories.

💚002 | Todd's Gut Check

Todd Kramer and Tina Kramer — Sun, 17 Aug 2025 11:50:45 GMT

In this debut episode of the Life Longevity Zone Podcast, Todd and Tina invite you into their home studio for a deeply personal conversation about healing, habits, and finding the courage to change. From disordered eating to autoimmune challenges, from carrot cakes to cold plunges ~ their story is honest, funny, and full of hope.

They share the early days of their relationship, their divergent but parallel health journeys, and what sparked their passion for root-cause healing. Tina opens up about her struggle with bulimia and her path to becoming a health coach, while Todd reflects on smoking, psoriasis, and breaking up with sugar. Together, they reveal how food became both a battleground and a bond.

This episode is about more than wellness. It’s about waking up. Becoming your own barometer. And realizing that the path to healing isn’t linear ~ but it is possible.

What if your symptoms were simply signals… guiding you back to yourself?

Todd’s gut test journey (yes, poop scoop included!) Psoriasis as a symptom, not the root Why histamine intolerance is rising The link between digestion and inflammation How alkaline stool disrupts good bacteria Gut permeability, zonulin, and immunity The role of childhood nutrition and SAD diets Functional medicine’s approach to skin healing
