On this episode of Late Night Health, host Mark Alyn welcomes two compelling guests who are each changing the way we think about health — from the food on your plate to the future of medicine itself. Edward Jones, founder of Nutrition World and The Holistic Navigator, shares how nearly five decades in nutrition led him to a startling discovery — that oxalate-rich “superfoods” caused his double hip replacement. Then, Dr. Ome Ogbru, founder and CEO of AI Engines, breaks down how his platform MAGGIE is revolutionizing medical research in life sciences using AI — and why the technology supports experts rather than replaces them.
Edward Jones, the founder of Nutrition World and the force behind The Holistic Navigator (theholisticnavigator.com), has been on a mission to empower people through nutrition since 1979 — that’s nearly five decades of wisdom. A former police officer turned health crusader, Edward is also an avid gym-goer, a pilot, and a newly minted violin student. But his most remarkable story may be his own health journey: after suffering debilitating joint pain and undergoing a double hip replacement, Edward traced the root cause to something hiding in his “healthy” diet — oxalates. Foods like spinach, almonds, beets, and raspberries were quietly destroying his joints. Could “healthy” foods actually be harming you? He shares how slashing oxalates transformed his health and why he wrote his free downloadable ebook on the subject. And here’s something exciting — Edward is dropping a brand-new ebook on using AI as a personal fitness coach, timed perfectly with his upcoming bodybuilding competition just eight weeks away!
Dr. Ome Ogbru is the Founder and CEO of AI Engines and a Doctor of Pharmacy with over 20 years in life sciences, including a leadership role at Biogen. Dr. Ogbru built MAGGIE (Medical Affairs Content Generator), an AI-powered platform connecting pharmaceutical and biotech professionals to 35 million PubMed citations — slashing research timelines from months to weeks. Could AI make your doctor more effective? And should we really be afraid of it?
Tune in for a conversation that will challenge everything you think you know about health, medicine, and the technology reshaping both.
