Most men think preparedness is a bunker full of gear and ammo. My guest today, Mike Glover, knows better. A Green Beret, former CIA contractor, and founder of Fieldcraft Survival has spent his life teaching men that real readiness is a mindset before it's a skillset and that the hardest terrain you'll ever navigate isn't in the wilderness, it's the purgatory of your own worst chapter. In this conversation, Mike opens up about hardship, redemption, and what it took to pick himself up when the ground gave way beneath him. We get into why men today aren't weak so much as broken down, physically, hormonally, and spiritually. And, we talk about what it takes to rebuild. We talk about purpose and identity, the difference between the people who scatter and the people who'll always have your back, and why being targeted only sharpened his clarity about who he is and what he's built. This is a raw, unflinching look at accountability, manhood, and the courage to say what needs to be said. Mike doesn't hedge, and neither do we.

In this episode the guys break down the five steps to becoming the fittest you've ever been for life — not just for a season.

Your body naturally produces testosterone, but it doesn't make the gallons of coffee you are using to survive a modern, unsustainable lifestyle. Mike Stratton built a multi-million dollar health optimization empire from the ground up, yet he nearly killed himself in the process by abandoning his own health to keep the business alive. He walked away from a successful company to rebuild his vision from scratch, a high-stakes gamble that triggered severe physical and mental burnout. INSIDE THE EPISODE The transition from underground "bro science" clinics to legitimate, data-driven telehealth infrastructure. Why an elite health founder developed dangerous blood sugar levels and how resistance training reversed it. Surviving the "Mount Everest" of psychedelic medicine to rewire chronic stress pathways. The tactical integration of bioidentical hormones, daily low-dose ancillaries, and the conjugate method. MEET THE GUEST Mike Stratton is the co-founder of Marek Health, a pioneering telehealth platform that has optimized over 50,000 clients. A college dropout who mastered high-ticket sales and organizational systems in commission-only roles, he engineered a customizable healthcare model built on personal empowerment and meticulous medical documentation.

In this episode of the Minnesota Rackstars Hunting Podcast, we dive into one of the most overlooked keys to successful deer hunting—mock scrapes. But instead of spending money on artificial scrape products, plastic licking branches, and gimmicks marketed to hunters every year, we're talking about what has consistently worked based on years of real-world trail camera intel: natural vines.I share why I created Double DropVine and how using a real, natural vine can help create more realistic mock scrapes that deer are naturally attracted to. After reviewing countless trail camera photos and videos, I've noticed a consistent pattern—bucks and does readily interact with natural vines, often choosing them over man-made alternatives.We discuss why natural materials may be more effective, how they can save hunters money compared to constantly buying new scrape products, and why keeping things simple often produces the best results in the woods. If you've ever wondered whether all the "latest and greatest" scrape gadgets are worth the investment, this episode may challenge what you think you know about scrape hunting.Whether you're managing a hunting property, creating mock scrapes for inventory purposes, or trying to tag a mature buck this fall, this conversation is packed with practical observations and trail camera evidence that could help improve your strategy.Tune in as we separate hunting marketing from hunting reality and discuss why sometimes the most effective tools are the ones nature already provides.Contact Minnesota Rackstars through our social media platforms for more information!!

Kennst du das Gefühl, völlig erschöpft zu sein – und trotzdem nicht abschalten zu können? Der Körper ist müde, aber der Kopf macht Überstunden. Gedanken kreisen, der Schlaf kommt nicht und selbst kleine Dinge bringen uns aus dem Gleichgewicht. In dieser Folge sprechen Leon und Atze über Hyperarousal – einen Zustand innerer Alarmbereitschaft, den viele Menschen kennen. Warum springt unser innerer Rauchmelder manchmal schon bei Wasserdampf an? Weshalb bleiben manche Menschen ständig wachsam, gereizt oder angespannt? Und natürlich stellt sich die wichtigste Frage: Wie schaffen wir es, den Alarm wieder leiser zu drehen? Eine Folge über innere Unruhe, den Sinn unserer Alarmsysteme und die Kunst, wieder zur Ruhe zu finden.

Adrian Wooldridge explains that for most of history, society was defined by a hierarchical presumption where individuals were born into "proper stations." This Great Chain of Being posited that social and natural orders were divinely ordained; disrupting this hierarchy was believed to cause chaos and natural disasters. Royal dynasties served as the central organizing principle, yet they were inherently fragile due to the "frailties of human flesh," such as madness, infancy, or the inability to produce male heirs. Walter Bagehot later viewed these royal houses as mere "decorations" to distract the masses. 179 AD POMPEII

What if one of the most important health crises affecting men today wasn't being caused by aging, but by the environment we live in? In this eye-opening solo episode, Darin Olien investigates the alarming decline in testosterone levels, fertility, and reproductive health among men worldwide. Drawing on decades of research, epidemiological studies, environmental science, endocrinology, and public health data, Darin examines the growing evidence connecting endocrine-disrupting chemicals, microplastics, sleep deprivation, chronic stress, poor lifestyle habits, and environmental toxins to declining testosterone levels across generations. From BPA, phthalates, atrazine, PFAS, and microplastics to sleep quality, circadian rhythms, cholesterol metabolism, cortisol regulation, and natural testosterone-supporting strategies, this episode explores what may be one of the most underreported public health issues of our time—and what men can do to take control of their health today.     What You'll Learn Why testosterone levels have been declining for decades The startling research on global sperm count decline How endocrine-disrupting chemicals interfere with hormone production Why BPA and phthalates may disrupt testosterone synthesis The role of atrazine, PFAS, and environmental toxins How chronic stress diverts resources away from testosterone production Why sleep may be the most important testosterone intervention The connection between cholesterol and hormone production How microplastics are being found throughout the human body The surprising relationship between statins and testosterone levels Natural lifestyle strategies that support healthy hormone production Practical steps to reduce environmental exposure and improve health     Chapters 00:00:00 – Welcome to SuperLife 00:00:33 – Sponsor: Fatty15 and cellular health 00:04:17 – The testosterone collapse explained 00:04:51 – Testosterone levels have been declining for decades 00:06:03 – Global sperm count decline and accelerating trends 00:07:02 – Why treating symptoms misses the root cause 00:07:27 – The hidden public health crisis 00:08:03 – Why low testosterone isn't just about aging 00:09:12 – Why hormone health affects longevity 00:09:53 – Low testosterone and increased mortality risk 00:10:35 – Testosterone's role in metabolism and cardiovascular health 00:11:27 – Endocrine-disrupting chemicals and hormone disruption 00:12:44 – BPA and its effects on testosterone production 00:13:59 – Phthalates and their impact on hormone pathways 00:16:00 – Glyphosate, atrazine, and pesticide exposure 00:17:07 – PFAS and reproductive health concerns 00:17:55 – Environmental toxins and population-wide effects 00:18:11 – Sponsor: Shakeology 00:20:02 – Cholesterol and hormone production 00:20:53 – Chronic stress and cortisol dominance 00:21:45 – Actionable solutions begin 00:21:56 – Why sleep is essential for testosterone production 00:23:07 – How sleep deprivation rapidly lowers testosterone 00:23:21 – Light pollution and circadian disruption 00:23:41 – Foods and nutrients needed for hormone health 00:24:23 – Microplastics and testicular tissue 00:24:53 – Statins and unintended hormonal consequences 00:25:39 – A practical testosterone sovereignty protocol 00:25:48 – Water filtration and reducing toxic exposure 00:26:13 – Eliminating plastics and fragrance chemicals 00:26:35 – Why organic food matters 00:26:45 – Sunlight and vitamin D 00:27:05 – Magnesium, omega-3s, and iodine 00:27:26 – Pine pollen and natural androgen support 00:28:01 – Tongkat Ali and ashwagandha 00:28:48 – Strength training and lifestyle interventions 00:29:10 – Habits that naturally support testosterone 00:29:27 – Darin's approach to healthy aging 00:29:37 – Plants, herbs, and common sense 00:29:51 – Reclaiming your health and sovereignty 00:30:00 – Final thoughts and closing message     Thank You to Our Sponsors Fatty15: Get an additional 15% off their 90-day subscription Starter Kit by going to fatty15.com/DARIN and using code DARIN at checkout.

It may be a reflection of the modern environment itself—one increasingly saturated with endocrine-disrupting chemicals, chronic stress, poor sleep, circadian disruption, and toxic exposures. While many of these forces feel outside our control, the encouraging reality is that many of the most powerful interventions remain accessible: improving sleep, reducing toxic load, eating whole foods, getting sunlight, managing stress, exercising regularly, and reclaiming responsibility for our health. The goal isn't fear. The goal is awareness—and action."     Bibliography/Sources: The Decline — Primary Research Levine, H., Jørgensen, N., Martino-Andrade, A., et al. (2022).

ID The Future listeners now get to enjoy two episodes each month from our sister podcast Mind Matters News, a production of the Discovery Institute's Walter Bradley Center for Natural and Artificial Intelligence. The Mind Matters News podcast brings you insight from computer scientists, engineers, inventors, neurosurgeons, and other experts who bring sanity to the conversation about natural and artificial intelligence, going beyond the hype to explore the undercurrents of these important ideas. And although the Mind Matters News podcast will not often explicitly discuss intelligent design, it regularly explores the nature of intelligence, the origin of information, and the things that make us uniquely human, all concepts that are central to the theory of intelligent design. Enjoy today's offering of Mind Matters News! In this installment of the Mind Matters News podcast, host Robert J. Marks welcomes economics professor and author Gary Smith to discuss the hype around artificial general intelligence (AGI) and AI's impact on the market. Smith is the Fletcher Jones Professor of Economics at Ponoma College and a frequent contributor to Mind Matters News. Smith argues that generative AI, embodied in services like ChatGPT and Google's Gemini, exhibits many characteristics of past market bubbles, including excessive hype, lack of profitability, and unrealistic expectations. Smith holds that generative AI models have limited practical economic value. They may be good at finding statistical patterns but struggle to distinguish meaningful, useful correlations from coincidental ones. Smith describes the fundamental challenge of teaching machines true understanding that goes beyond mere pattern recognition. A number of examples and stories are shared throughout. Source

Send us Fan MailIn this Thursday edition of Talking Pools, hosts Steve Sherwood and Wayne Ivusich dive into the realities of running a successful pool service company. From referral programs and pricing challenges to difficult customer interactions and the importance of building relationships with manufacturer representatives, this episode offers practical business advice for pool professionals. The conversation also includes an insurance-focused discussion on the growing topic of natural swimming pools and the unique risks they present. Topics CoveredWhy Referrals Are Still the Best Marketing ToolSteve explains why customer referrals continue to be one of the most effective ways to grow a pool service business. Rather than chasing online reviews or discount programs, he discusses building trust with existing clients and rewarding long-term customer relationships. The Reality of Pool Service PricingNot all pool companies charge the same rates. Steve shares a real-world example of a prospective client comparing prices and why competing solely on price often creates problems. The discussion highlights the importance of communicating value, professionalism, reliability, and service quality. Managing Difficult Customer ExpectationsFrom emergency requests to customers demanding specific service times, the hosts discuss how setting boundaries and maintaining clear expectations protects both the customer and the service company. They explain why not every client is the right fit for every business. Commercial vs Residential Pool CustomersWhy are commercial clients often easier to work with than residential customers? Steve shares his perspective on dealing with engineering departments, facility managers, and property owners versus individual homeowners with highly specific expectations. Insurance Interlude with Pat GranonCan Natural Swimming Pools Be Insured?Pat Granon from the California Pool Association joins the show to discuss insurance considerations surrounding natural swimming pools. The conversation explores whether natural pools are classified as pools for insurance purposes and what coverage options may be necessary for companies servicing them. Additional Risks of Natural PoolsThe discussion examines concerns involving: Communicable disease exposure  Pollution liability  Professional liability risks  Biological filtration systems  Potential legal exposure from waterborne illnesses Pat explains why standard general liability coverage may not always be enough and discusses additional policy options that service companies should consider when working with natural swimming pools. Is a Natural Pool Really a Pool?The hosts debate where natural pools fit within the industry and whether maintaining biology instead of traditional water chemistry creates a fundamentally different risk profile for operators and service providers.  Support the showThank you so much for listening!

Most people overlook this simple walking exercise that supports ankle strength, hamstring flexibility, and helps improve balance naturally. Discover the profound benefits of reverse walking for brain health, knee pain relief, mobility, and more. It can even promote brain rewiring!0:00 Introduction: Walking for brain health0:59 Natural movement/walking on flat surfaces 3:00 Walking backwards 3:14 Backward walking benefits3:52 Walking backwards uphill4:57 How to prevent injury while reverse walkingThe Backward Hill Protocol: https://drbrg.co/4xCZ1Ki10 biological signals control how you feel every day, but only 1 matters most for YOUR body. Take the free 2-minute quiz to find out: https://drbrg.co/4tO9nV9 Walking on flat surfaces does not mimic natural movement. Natural movement involves uneven terrain, inclines, rocks, and other unpredictable surfaces that challenge the body and brain.The cerebellum, which controls balance, contains nearly half of the brain's neurons. When movement becomes repetitive and automatic, the brain doesn't have to work as hard. Novel movement and changing pressure patterns can help stimulate the brain in new ways.Reverse walking shifts pressure away from the knees and forces the hamstrings and glutes to become more active.Some of the benefits of reverse walking include:• Reduced knee pressure• Improved hamstring flexibility• Better balance and coordination• Cognitive function improvementOnce you're comfortable with reverse walking, try walking backwards uphill. Reverse walking uphill is one of the best glute activation exercises and can also help improve ankle strength and coordination.
