Episodes
In-depth, clinician-led discussions on hormone optimization, metabolic health, longevity science, and the realities shaping modern healthcare.
Vitality Unfiltered is where real medicine meets real conversation.
Each episode of Vitality Unfiltered explores complex health topics through a responsible medical lens.
Hosted by David Bauder, PA-C—founder of Weight Loss & Vitality—this channel breaks down hormones, metabolism, mental health, longevity science, precision medicine, and aesthetics in a way that’s clear, evidence-based, and practical. We go beyond surface-level advice to explore how thyroid function, estrogen, testosterone, cortisol, insulin, sleep, nutrition, stress, and lifestyle all connect. If you’ve ever been told “your labs are normal” but you don’t feel normal, this is for you. Each episode challenges conventional thinking, explains the physiology behind symptoms, and empowers you with deeper understanding—not hype. From GLP-1 science to bioidentical hormones, from brain health to body composition, we unpack complex topics without filters. Follow for weekly episodes, and honest discussions about how to optimize health, performance, and long-term vitality. “Powered by Weight Loss and Vitality”

Why Our Conversations Are Different
Vitality Unfiltered is hosted by practicing clinicians who apply these principles in real patient care every day.
We discuss:
- How lab values are interpreted in context
- When hormone therapy is appropriate — and when it is not
- The clinical reasoning behind metabolic treatment plans
- Risks, limitations, and long-term considerations
- How modern healthcare systems impact patient outcomes
We believe education should be transparent, responsible, and rooted in physiology — not trends.
