What's the big deal about a sendentary lifestyle? Does it really impact your health that much? Turns out, it does in a BIG way. The BrainStim gang discusses a new study that shows some pretty impressive benefits from WALKING! That's right - just walking. You don't have to CrossFit, HIIT, extreme conditioning program to see big benefits from moving. What's the best distance? Well there are different benefits at different distances, so take a listen to today's episode and let's get moving and start putting those benefits to work!
For a number of years, Ed Hertzman found knee-deep in the middle of the supply chain/logistics world. At 26, he became frustrated by the confusion and lack of timely industry information available—where even a day's delay in placing an order could mean higher costs—Ed recognized a gap: There was no "Wall Street Journal" for supply chain professionals! Driven by this, he started the Sourcing Journal to provide real-time news and insights for the supply chain and apparel industries. What started as a solution to his own frustrations quickly transformed into a substantial business, making waves in media and challenging more traditional trade publications. Ed, now founder of Athletech News (ATN) realized the same need in the HALO space (Health, Active Lifestyle, Outdoors.) Host Pete Moore and Hertzman sat down and explored the dynamic intersection of fitness, technology, finance, and wellness. He opens up about the realities of entrepreneurship, the evolution from newsletter to nationwide events, and the importance of building a reputation before going big. You'll hear Ed's candid thoughts on expanding the definition of the HALO sector—moving beyond just gyms to a broader world of health, active lifestyles, wellness, and recovery. Pete and Ed also discuss the need for more analytical reporting and data transparency around industry deals, and how their partnership aims to deliver the kind of financial insights and case studies that have long existed in other industries but are still missing in health and fitness. Finally, this episode also offers a peek into ATN's exciting upcoming event in New York—a high-caliber gathering inspired by the likes of "Davos and CES"—where collaboration, innovation, and strategic networking will take center stage. Whether you're an operator, investor, vendor, or enthusiast, this episode is packed with insights on where the industry is headed, how to drive meaningful connections, and why now is an exciting time to be a part of the ever-evolving HALO sector. Key themes discussed Transition from supply chain to the HALO media space Building and scaling a B2B media platform The power of niche, industry-focused events Importance of data-driven industry analysis More and more nontraditional players entering the HALO sector Challenges in sector terminology and defining “HALO” Fostering collaboration and innovation through quality events A few key takeaways: 1. Spotting and Building in the White Space: Ed shared how his entrepreneurial journey started by identifying under-served sectors, first in supply chain media with Sourcing Journal and now in the HALO/tech space. His experience underscores the importance of finding those “white spaces” in industries—areas where communities need a voice, connection, and credible business news. 2. Slow, Strategic Growth Over Event Hype: Rather than rushing into high-profile events, Ed took a measured approach. He grew his audience steadily through newsletters before expanding into larger conferences, waiting until he had the connections and content quality to make a true impact. A key takeaway? Avoid the temptation to “call in favors too early,” and don't over-promise before you can truly deliver. 3. Evolving Content for a Diverse Audience: Athletech News (ATN) started as a broad industry newsletter, but Ed also recognizes the need for more tailored communication—envisioning future newsletters and content streams focused specifically on CEOs, CTOs, franchisors, wellness executives, and more. As the industry's definition of “wellness” has broadened, ATN is beginning to attract nontraditional players from hospitality, tech, finance, and beyond, reflecting the sector's rapid evolution. 4. The Need for Data-Driven Analysis and Transparency: Hertzman also highlighted the lack of deep analysis regarding deals and trends in the sector—especially compared to more mature industries. He's working to change that by forging partnerships with data companies and bringing real financial insight (such as deal structure and industry benchmarking) to subscribers. He and Pete also discussed the value of expert deal breakdowns and empircal, data-driven content as a differentiator for the forthcoming ATN 2025 Innovation Summit in June in NYC. 5. Reimagining Industry Events as Collaborative Think Tanks: Ed's vision for future ATN events is ambitious: He wants to create a “Davos meets YPO meets Sun Valley” for the industry—a highly curated gathering where top CEOs, operators, founders, and even outside thought leaders come together to share, network, and get access to exclusive research and strategic insights. The focus is on intentional programming for different roles, experiential networking spaces, and using the event as the industry's annual central hub for partnerships, trends, and discoveries.

Nick and Tyler talk about what it really costs to grow a business—and why scaling back might be the smartest move you can make. They unpack the illusion that more work equals more success, the hidden costs of chasing bigger numbers, and how to build a company that actually works for you, not just your spreadsheet. From forecasting cash flow to facing the uncomfortable truths behind low-margin projects, this episode is a must-listen for anyone feeling the pressure to grow without a plan. Whether you're doing $1M or $10M a year, the real question is: are you making it work, or is it working you?

Are you navigating perimenopause or menopause while also managing chronic health conditions? Or perhaps perimenopause has triggered an underlying, previously dormant issue? Traditional healthcare may not be enough to combat the symptoms, but do not fear! Today's guest is here to teach us how your nervous system, immune system, and hormones can all work together to support healing and longevity. This week, host Jenn Trepeck is joined by Dr. Jessica Drummond, Founder and CEO of The Integrative Women's Health Institute. Together, they explore how seemingly “silent” chronic conditions like endometriosis, pelvic pain, autoimmune disorders or even long covid, can complicate menopause—and what you can do about it. Dr. Drummond shares her insights on calming the nervous system, building metabolic health through nutrient-dense habits, and using tools like heart rate variability (HRV) to guide recovery. The Salad With a Side of Fries podcast is hosted by Jenn Trepeck, who discusses wellness and weight loss for real life, clearing up the myths, misinformation, bad science & marketing surrounding our nutrition knowledge and the food industry. Let's dive into wellness and weight loss for real life, including drinking, eating out, and skipping the grocery store. IN THIS EPISODE: (00:00) The impact of menopause on silent chronic conditions(05:44) Dr. Jessica Drummond reflects on her professional journey in the chronic condition space(11:11) Common underlying chronic conditions affecting menopause(16:08) Discussion of the silent underlying conditions that can manifest later in life(25:43) Calming the nervous system to heal in a consistent way(30:50) The importance of your metabolic health in the form of nutrient-dense food, strength training, walking, hydration and circadian rhythm(32:09) Discussion of heart rate variability, recovery, and developing the art of sitting quietly(41:36) The importance of working with a health coach to plan for the future of your healthKEY TAKEAWAYS:Menopause and perimenopause symptoms can be overwhelming on their own. Still, when layered on top of chronic conditions like endometriosis, pelvic pain, autoimmune disorders, or post-viral syndromes (e.g., long COVID), it creates a compounded health challenge. Traditional training often overlooks the role of nutrition, nervous system regulation, and lifestyle in healing. Chronic conditions—especially during perimenopause—require a personalized, holistic strategy.Healing during menopause doesn't require drastic changes—small, consistent steps matter most. Start where it feels easiest, like mindfulness, nutrition, or gentle movement. Recovery and nervous system regulation are just as important as action. Tools like heart rate variability (HRV) can help track progress, showing that true resilience comes from balancing effort with rest.Integrating the nervous, immune, and hormone systems is the key to living a longer, more active, healthier life. When these systems are balanced and working together, they support overall well-being and longevity.QUOTES: (10:04) “In my traditional physical therapy training, nutrition was not emphasized as a healing tool. It was more like you needed adequate nutrients to perform certain physical activities, but we didn't think about it from an anti-inflammatory standpoint.” - Dr. Jessica Drummond(13:59) “Research shows us that acute illnesses like infections trigger chronic diseases.” - Dr. Jessica Drummond(22:36) “It's exposing these underlying things that have been lying dormant, that we just brushed aside or pushed through because they weren't really standing in the way of us doing the things that we wanted to do.” - Jenn Trepeck(40:19) “I think we make these plans expecting perfection, planning for this optimal, ideal day that never happens. So put these things in place so they happen even on the days where we don't feel a hundred percent, even on the days where nothing goes as planned.” - Jenn TrepeckRESOURCES:Become A Member of Salad with a Side of FriesJenn's Free Menu PlanA Salad With a Side of FriesA Salad With A Side Of Fries MerchA Salad With a Side of Fries InstagramUse Your Heart Rate Monitor to Improve Your Health GUEST RESOURCES:The Integrative Women's Health InstituteIntegrative Women's Health - Podcast Integrative Women's Health - PubMedInnovative Approaches to Chronic Pain with The Anodunos Method TeamGUEST BIOGRAPHY:Dr. Jessica Drummond, DCN, CNS, PT, NBC-HWC, is a leading expert in women's health and the Founder and CEO of The Integrative Women's Health Institute.

Most of us have the desire to stay active daily and in the long term. An active lifestyle is a daily pursuit for many of us, and an essential part of this journey is practicing flexibility and mobility. Flexibility refers to the ability of muscles to lengthen passively through motion, while mobility is the ability of joints to move actively through motion. Flexibility and mobility impact our daily activities like sitting, bending over, climbing stairs, and carrying groceries. Flexibility and mobility have been proven to impact overall physical fitness and health significantly. As we celebrate the gains in flexibility and mobility, we should ensure regular practice to achieve a healthy, happy body in the long term. To help you, we have explored some steps to uphold while celebrating improved flexibility and mobility. Have a glance! Ensure that you practice flexibility and mobility consistently. This can be achieved by setting and sticking with a relevant SMART goal. A SMART goal should be specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and time-bound. For instance, you can spend 30 minutes active four days a week. Our strongest belief is that "no program works if we don't do it." Therefore, we encourage consistency, which matters more in achieving and maintaining long-term flexibility and mobility. Engage in active stretching before exercise and static stretching after exercise. Active stretching, which is performed before exercise, involves gently moving through a range of motion to increase blood flow and warm up muscles. On the other hand, static stretching, which is normally performed after exercise, involves stretching a muscle to its furthest point and holding that position for a period of time. Always move when you get an opportunity. Whenever you get a chance to move, please do it! Whether it's walking outside, working out at home, or playing basketball, every chance of being active matters. Ensure you look out for a fun activity so it will be interesting to do it consistently. Consider engaging in diverse exercises. Incorporating a wide range of exercises in your routine will significantly help you achieve overall flexibility and mobility. For example, strength training can help increase the flexibility and balance required for functional movements, while activities like yoga, Pilates, and barre are best for improving both flexibility and strength. Focus on improving your posture. Ensure you check in about your body alignment throughout the day. Consider changing positions from sitting to standing as often as possible. You can also engage in stretches that support better posture. Flexibility and mobility are foundational attributes of being healthy, and we recommend celebrating their gains with regular practice. It is also essential to seek professional support from a chiropractor to diagnose and treat injuries. This is because it is not advised to do exercise or activities that aggravate muscle or joint pain related to an injury. If you need more guidance on celebrating improved flexibility and mobility, talk to Dr. Jason Jones at our Chiropractic office in Elizabeth City, NC, for assistance!

Your ideal environment for exercise matters. Finding a rhythm in your week is essential for consistency. Mindset is 90% of the journey to an active lifestyle.

I used to believe when it came to exercise, more was always more.Especially for a multisport athlete who is running, backpacking, mountaineering and wanting to be ALWAYS READY TO ROLL at a moment's notice.Also, as I cruised toward 50, I felt like I needed to work harder just to maintain a certain level of performance.But this summer, I got tired of being exhausted.Tired of grinding through my day job.Tired of feeling irritated with every little thing. (Like I would knock over a can of Seltzer and fly into a rage.)Tired of starting each weekend adventure exhausted from the last weekend adventure.Tired of feeling spacey and not fully connected while coaching my clients. So I did a crazy thing.

71% of you have snacked in the past 24 hours. But despite the frequency of snacking occasions remaining stable over the past decade, the consumer has evolved. Today, snacking goes far beyond “filler” between meals or mindless munching…they're often an expression of personal goals and values in our fast-paced, health-conscious world. 36% of all snacking occasions involve some need for “Optimization,” which is up 5 percentage points since 2020. This supports the notion that consumers are looking for a quick energy boost and other functional benefits that help them meet the challenges of their active and demanding lifestyles. Moreover, 23% of Gen Z and Millennials have purchased snacks with functional benefits in the past three months. And place extra attention on these younger health-conscious snackers…as they're driving trends towards bold, unconventional flavors, as well as novel form factors.

Host Pete Moore sits down with Sam O'Keefe to delve into the (often confusing!) world of HSA (Health Savings Accounts) and FSA (Flexible Spending Accounts) and their intersection with the HALO (Health, Active Lifestyle, Outdoors) sector. In a market worth nearly $150B, Sam shares her expertise on how fitness-related expenses, including gym memberships and fitness programs, can become eligible for reimbursement under certain conditions. We'll explore how Flex, Sam's fintech company, is making it easier for HALO-businesses to integrate HSA and FSA benefits, facilitating seamless payments and reimbursements for members. Sam also discusses the critical role of exercise in both mental and physical health, the psychology behind spending HSA and FSA funds, and the entrepreneurial challenges she continues to face in this very new, rather niche space. From the nuances of telehealth evaluations to contributing and spending behaviors in HSA and FSA accounts, this episode is packed with valuable insights for anyone interested in the evolving landscape of health and fitness reimbursement. This is a must listen for all gym owners, especially if they wish to uncover the incredible amount of revenue and opportnities that exists in Q4, if this is implemented and marketed properly. Join us as we break down the complexities and uncover the opportunities in this fascinating field. As HSA and FSA payment options become more popular, Sam states, "It's very exciting to see companies like DoorDash, Instacart, Walgreens, and others that are starting to roll this out. What it's really doing is increasing awareness for consumers and getting them to realize, 'Oh hey. . . I can spend these dollars not just at the doctor's office.'" Key themes discussed Challenges and solutions in healthcare industry discussed. Diversity in payment regulations for different businesses. Verify POS inventory for HSA, FSA eligibility. American customer base faces health challenges, bridge gap. Direct payment possibilities with industry CRM's like (MarianaTek and others) for seamless integration. Encouraging health club operators to capitalize on HSA/FSA, especially during Q4. A few key takeaways: 1. Sam discussed the intricacies of HSA and FSA reimbursements, which present a massive $150B market. She emphasized the importance and utility of these accounts in covering fitness and health-related expenses, provided there's a medical necessity and proper documentation. 2. Both Pete and Sam underlined the critical role of exercise in both mental and physical health. They stressed the need to shift the healthcare focus toward preventive measures, highlighting how activities like pickleball can contribute significantly to mental well-being and longevity. 3. Sam talks about Flex, a fintech and telehealth company she started to help streamline the reimbursement process. Flex simplifies HSA and FSA reimbursements by integrating them directly into the merchant's checkout flow and offering telehealth visits to obtain the necessary documentation. 4. The episode shed light on the specifics of what can be considered eligible for HSA and FSA spending. While general fitness programs and equipment usually don't meet IRS guidelines, they can qualify if prescribed by a doctor. This highly nuanced regulatory landscape requires precise documentation and coordination with healthcare professionals. 5. The conversation also touched on the entrepreneurial journey, providing listeners with insights into staying motivated through the ups and downs of business. Physical activity was highlighted as a key strategy for managing stress and maintaining clarity, reinforcing the episode's strong focus on the holistic benefits of exercise.

Greta Wagner is a seasoned fitness industry veteran with over four decades of experience in the HALO (Health, Active Lifestyle, Outdoor) space. A current Board Member of the Health & Fitness Assocation (formerly IHRSA), and Executive Director of Chelsea Piers, her journey began at the age of 16, when she started teaching what used to be called "aerobic dance." After a decade-long hiatus in the golf industry, her return to fitness was marked by a pivotal realization: The sector had seen little growth and was still grappling with engaging the same 80% of people who do not participate in regular exercise or attend fitness clubs. Her career reflects both her adaptability and enduring passion for promoting a healthier lifestyle. Greta shares her invaluable perspectives on fostering inclusivity, broadening communication, and the significance of a positive work culture that transcends beyond just having state-of-the-art facilities. Also discussed are the pressures of athleticism on young kids, branding excellence of Chelsea Piers, and innovative ideas for advocacy in the health and fitness sector. We'll hear about the challenges of maintaining client attention, and the evolving landscape of video and streaming technology. Finally, we'll look at leveraging competition and technology to drive member engagement and success. This episode is packed with valuable insights from an industry veteran on leadership, resilience, and the collective effort required to drive meaningful change in our space. On workplace culture, Wagner states, "I can't dictate what company culture is gonna be. I can hope what our culture is gonna be. We can say 'this is what our strategic plan is to make our culture,' but it's our actions, and it's how we live our lives in every moment while we're working together, playing together, socializing together, and our principles and core values. If you stay true to those and you hire the people who believe in those core values and can live it . . . that will resonate. In my opinion, that is everything." Key themes discussed IHRSA (and the industry's) challenges during the pandemic. 10-year summer camp experience, impact of sports. Workplace culture, branding, employee focus, values. Private, non-institutional company, unique KPIs. Monitoring retention and valuing employee contributions. The evolving role of the Health & Fitness Association. A few key takeaways: 1. Greta emphasizes that a positive and inclusive work culture is crucial for any business's success, especially in the HALO space. She illustrates this by highlighting Chelsea Piers' commitment to their core values and how it translates into meaningful connections with customers and a happy, long time, dedicated workforce. 2. She emphasizes the importance of open conversations, organization, and effective messaging to address societal and political divisions. Enhancing communication and education within the club environment can foster unity and collective growth. 3. Both Moore and Wagner stress the significance of offering a variety of sports to children, rather than early specialization. This approach helps in reducing pressure and optimizing overall athletic development, allowing kids to explore various interests and skills. 4. Pete asks about leveraging the large membership base of clubs collectively for advocacy efforts. Collecting a small contribution per member per year, as Pete suggests, could significantly bolster financial capabilities for important advocacy initiatives at local, state, and federal levels. 5. Greta discusses the resilience of Chelsea Piers during natural disasters, highlighting the collaborative effort of employees and members to rebuild the property. This underscores the solid and caring culture of the company, which is pivotal in navigating crises like the COVID-19 pandemic. Click here to download transcript.

On "irrational development" Pete states, "There's enough private equity out there so that you don't have to subject yourself to running a public company in the spotlight. Just keep it private, and run it methodically . . . I think the push to go public can cause people to get over their skis. And then when you do that, you crash hard. So that's gonna be an unfortunate black eye in the industry." Key themes discussed Entrepreneurship driven by personal frustration, innovation. Understanding movie, discipline, and successful private equity. Club shirts, logo on, opportunity for growth. Public markets demand consistent performance from businesses.

Key Takeaways: The United States has seen a significant decline in life expectancy post-2016, which continued to drop through 2021, accompanied by unprecedented rates of chronic diseases among children. The COVID-19 pandemic led to developmental challenges in children due to increased screen time, social restrictions, and educational disruptions. Emotional and psychological impacts of the pandemic on children are significant, with Dr. Hieshetter narrating the profound confusion and distress her own daughter experienced. The foundations of a child's brain development are tied to touch, communication, and social interaction, all of which suffered during pandemic lockdowns and mask mandates. Dr. Hieshetter calls for parents and educators to actively involve themselves in the development of children's brain health through consistent, purposeful engagement and reduction of screen time. Notable Quotes: "We are walking around in the most amazing, intelligent, responsive, adapting, and aware system in the world, the human body." "These pandemic kids, they weren't neglected, but we're seeing patterns in their brain development that is similar because they didn't receive the same type of stimulus." "The more time we spend on a screen, the less likely we are to be out there running around and exercising." "The pandemic was hard enough on these kids... they deserve us being on purpose, mission-driven."
