668: How a 1-hour scan can replace a 5-day physical | Andrew Lacy, Prenuvo Founder & Ceo
"I hope in 20 or 30 years time, a clinical diagnosis is something that's rarely given because most everything has been caught before it rises to that stage,” says Andrew Lacy. Lacy is the CEO and founder of Prenuvo, the company pioneering proactive whole-body imaging for the early detection of cancer and other diseases. Under Lacy’s leadership, the company has expanded across North America, establishing Prenuvo as a recognized and trusted proactive healthcare service to both patients and referring clinicians. A seasoned entrepreneur, he scaled transformative products (including Tapulous, acquired by Disney) and grew Prenuvo into a global leader. He actively serves as an advisor and investor across a diverse portfolio of startups. He received an MBA from Stanford University and a JD from the University of Melbourne. He is currently based in Los Angeles. This podcast was created in partnership with Prenuvo. Their whole-body MRI scans 33 organs for hundreds of conditions in as little as an hour, finding a potentially life-saving diagnosis in 1 in 20 people.* Prenuvo can help give you a broader understanding of what’s happening in your body–before symptoms appear.

Status, Sex, & Sports Cars: What Science Says
What does driving a sports car actually do to your hormones? In this episode, we break down a surprisingly revealing 2009 study in which researchers had men drive a bright red sports car and a beige sedan and measured changes in their testosterone before and after. The results weren't what anyone expected. And the real finding had nothing to do with speed, horsepower, or even the car itself. We dig into the evolutionary biology behind status signaling, why social context drives hormonal responses, and what this study quietly reveals about how we chase external validation in modern life. Ever seen someone rev a Ferrari at a stoplight and thought "midlife crisis"? This one's for you. 00:00 - Introduction 00:53 - The Experiment 01:44 - The Results (And Why They're Surprising) 02:41 - The Evolutionary Biology Behind Status Signaling 03:34 - Why the Audience Mattered More Than the Car 04:26 - What "Borrowed Status" Costs Us 05:33 - What Actually Sustains Us Long-Term Read the study here: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0749597809000442 We hope you enjoy this episode, and feel free to watch the full video on YouTube!
