What if your 10,000 steps a day were the reason your back hurts? Biomechanics engineer Gabriel Saravia, joins Nick Urban to break down why most chronic back pain comes from millimeter-scale vertebra shifts rather than weak muscles. After eliminating chronic pain in hundreds of clients ranging from world champions to people who couldn't move without bracing, his approach centers on spine-driven mechanics: the rotation, lateral flexion, and decompression patterns humans evolved for. Meet our guest Gabriel Saravia is an engineer turned biomechanics specialist and the creator of the Paraball, Paramace, and Parabell training systems. After years of chronic back pain from competitive squash and bodybuilding, he rebuilt his understanding of the human body from first principles and now coaches everyone from world champions to clients with severe movement limitations. His method centers on spine-driven mechanics: the rotation, lateral flexion, and decompression patterns humans evolved for.

What if everything you've been told about training harder is the reason you're breaking down? JD Tremblay is one of only 3 people to complete the Epic Deca - 10 Ironmans in 10 consecutive days. He didn't get there by pushing harder. He engineered it. In this episode, JD reveals the BRAIN system he uses with athletes, military, and high performers across 4 countries. He explains why elite Kenyan runners train at 5-6 minutes per kilometer most days, why a 12-minute nap beats 2am caffeine, and why studies show humans cannot truly multitask.   Meet our guest JD Tremblay is a former military member with over a decade of service, an ultra-endurance triathlete, naturopathic practitioner, and Integrated Performance Engineer. He serves as Director of High Performance & Mental Resilience Advisor at Hungry Warrior Academy. Only 3 people have ever completed the Epic Deca (10 consecutive Ironmans).

One-size-fits-all recovery is a marketing myth Phone scrolling is physical rest only. The mind stays in sympathetic mode and does not recover Pain is normal in training. Injury should stop you. Reserve ibuprofen for emergencies, not defaults Studies show humans cannot truly multitask. What feels like multitasking is rapid context switching Some people need MORE stress, not less.

What if discipline isn't a trait you're born with, but a byproduct of something far more controllable? In this conversation, Dre Baldwin breaks down why discipline is the byproduct of a documented structure (not willpower), why 85% of your behavior is subconscious, and how to design a system that produces excellence as a default rather than a feat. Meet our guest Dre Baldwin is the founder of Work On Your Game®. A 4x TEDx speaker, 43-time author, and former 9-year pro basketball player, Dre coaches entrepreneurs and experts on installing the mindset, systems, and strategy required to scale from six to seven figures. His work has been studied by athletes, founders, and military operators who want a measurable framework for performance rather than another motivational pep talk.

It's what consistent execution of a structure looks like from the outside 85% of your thoughts are subconscious. The first step is becoming conscious of the unconscious Three levers reprogram the subconscious: repetition, immersion, and emotionalization Best structures remove options. If thing A is what you should do and the structure removes alternatives, success becomes mathematical Fundamentals first. Tom Brady flew across the country for throwing-technique coaching after winning his sixth Super Bowl Things you can't measure, you can't manage.

What if the reason your wins never feel like enough isn't a motivation problem, but a decision you made at age 3 that you don't even remember? Executive coach and former RAF pilot Will Steel joins Nick Urban to unpack how unconscious childhood decisions become the invisible architecture of an adult life. Will trained in ontological coaching under Werner Erhard's lineage and now works with CEOs, Buddhist monks, imams, and aspiring heads of state. His core message: limiting beliefs aren't abstract thoughts you can affirm your way out of. They're precise decisions made in specific moments, and they keep generating evidence to prove themselves right until you get to the exact words you said to yourself. Meet our guest Will Steel is an executive coach, former RAF pilot, and author of Free to Lead. He helps leaders build authentic, high-performing teams by focusing on identity, purpose, and behavior. His work blends military discipline with deep ontological inquiry, and he won't coach anyone for less than 12 months because real identity work takes time.

RNA microbiome testing reveals what DNA gut tests fundamentally miss. Your gut bacteria have 3,000+ genes each — DNA tests see zero of their actual activity. Dr. Momchilo (Momo) Vuyisich, Co-founder & CSO of Viome and former Los Alamos National Laboratory scientist, explains why RNA-based metatranscriptomics is a quantum leap over DNA sequencing for understanding your microbiome and personalizing nutrition. Meet our guest Dr. Momo Vuyisich spent 12 years at Los Alamos National Laboratory developing RNA-based technology for digitizing human biology. He co-founded Viome in 2016 with Naveen Jain, and the platform has since tested 500,000+ customers across 100+ countries. His personal journey with NEU5GC autoimmune sensitivity drove his mission to replace opinion-based nutrition with data-driven, personalized recommendations.

Are you busy all day but never finishing the work that actually matters? What if the problem isn't discipline — it's that you've never learned how to enter a flow state on demand? Steven Puri joins Nick Urban to break down the science and practice of flow states. Steven shares the exact protocol he built after two decades in Hollywood and tech: how music at 60-90 BPM triggers focus, why rain sounds outperformed $100K of custom compositions, and the morning intention habit he calls the single highest-ROI practice for productivity. Meet our guest Steven Puri is the Founder and CEO of The Sukha Company, a flow state productivity platform helping knowledge workers find their focus and do their best work. Before building Sukha, Steven served as VP at 20th Century Fox running the Die Hard and Wolverine franchises, EVP at DreamWorks Pictures for Kurtzman-Orci Productions (Star Trek, Transformers), and produced CGI for 14 films including Independence Day. He sold his first tech company, Centropolis Effects, at age 28. Steven lives in Austin, TX.

Ever wonder why you spend hundreds on antioxidant supplements but still feel run down? What if the most powerful antioxidant isn't in your supplement cabinet — but already inside your body? François Vix, CEO of GliSODin with 40+ published clinical studies across 50+ countries, reveals why superoxide dismutase (SOD) neutralizes up to 1 billion free radicals per molecule while vitamin C handles just one.
