Dr. Dwayne Jackson is a health specialist, medical educator, scientist, and entrepreneur with a PhD in neurovascular physiology. Mitochondrial peptides may be promising, but they cannot replace the aerobic base that makes their effects measurable. Dr. Dwayne Jackson explains AMPK and mitochondrial signaling, what MOTS-c and SS-31 can and cannot tell us, and why fitness data, training, and recovery come before any experimental compound. Expect to learn how aerobic fitness supports strength and Strongman training, why lactate clearance and conditioning can become the rate limiter, what AMPK and mTOR signal, how kidney disease changed Dwayne's perspective on aerobic capacity, where the evidence for MOTS-c and SS-31 is limited, how to design a more useful N-of-1 experiment, and why training, nutrition, recovery, COAs, and third-party testing come before experimental compounds.

Does a short climb, town-line sprint, or brief surge above Zone 2 undo the benefits of an endurance workout? Paul Warloski and Dr. Paul Laursen explain why the answer is generally no. Brief excursions above LT1 or VT1 don't suddenly erase aerobic adaptations, and short bursts can even provide useful neuromuscular stimulus. The bigger issue is repeatedly turning easy training into moderate or hard training, accumulating fatigue and compromising the quality of the sessions that are supposed to be hard. The discussion covers the physiology behind Zone 2, fat and carbohydrate use, heart-rate recovery, polarized training, athlete phenotype, training age, recovery status, and why beginners, masters athletes, and experienced endurance athletes may need different approaches.Key TakeawaysA few seconds or minutes above Zone 2 won't ruin an endurance session. Short hills, accelerations, and occasional surges are generally nothing to worry about.The pattern matters more than an isolated effort. Problems arise when easy sessions repeatedly drift into Zone 3 and become moderately hard workouts.Zone 2 has a physiological basis. The discussion centers on the first ventilatory/lactate threshold, where breathing and carbohydrate use begin to rise noticeably.Going harder increases carbohydrate use and muscle-fiber recruitment. More ATP demand means greater reliance on glycolysis and increased recruitment of faster-twitch fibers.Aerobic adaptations don't switch off instantly above LT1. A brief excursion above the threshold doesn't erase the signaling or adaptations accumulated earlier in the workout.Heart rate can provide useful context. Because heart rate responds more slowly than pace or power, a very brief power surge may barely affect heart-rate zones.Recovery speed is itself a fitness signal. Better-conditioned athletes generally return to an aerobic state more rapidly following harder efforts.Short sprints can be useful. Ten-second efforts primarily challenge the neuromuscular and anaerobic alactic systems and may add a useful training stimulus without the metabolic cost of longer all-out efforts.The most important session is the next session. Training consistency matters more than squeezing extra intensity into every workout.Easy training helps make hard training harder. Keeping most sessions genuinely easy can preserve the ability to execute key interval workouts at higher quality.Beginners should generally protect Zone 2 more carefully. Athletes without a well-developed aerobic base may experience greater heart-rate drift and benefit from keeping easy sessions truly easy.Training age matters enormously. Years of consistent aerobic development influence how much intensity an athlete can absorb and how quickly they recover.Recovery status changes the answer. Poor sleep, suppressed HRV, high life stress, or accumulated fatigue are reasons to keep an endurance session strictly easy.Fuel according to the athlete and session. Athletes who struggle with low blood sugar or weakness during training may benefit from carbohydrate intake, particularly when harder efforts are unavoidable.TRY ATHLETICA.AI | Adaptive Endurance Training Plans Powered by Sports ScienceDr. Paul LaursenPaul Warloski - Simple Endurance Coaching
Did you miss the first edition of our Training Talk video series? You are in luck as the Supporters Club embargo has ended! In this exclusive 1-on-1 interview, LetsRun.com co-founder Robert Johnson sits down with Dr. Marius Bakken—13:06 5000m runner, two-time Norwegian Olympian, medical doctor, and the true mastermind behind the double threshold "Norwegian Method" training system used by Jakob Ingebrigtsen and elites worldwide. Bakken breaks down the physiological logic behind double threshold, why the muscular system (not the heart or lungs) is the true limiting factor for distance runners, how to properly use lactate meters, super shoe technology, and why easy days MUST stay easy. If you liked interview, then you need to read the article we wrote as he answered some additional questions via email after we recorded.
In this episode, we launch our four-part Marathon Masterclass designed to strip away overcomplicated training noise and get back to core physiological fundamentals. Whether you are tackling your first 26.2, targeting a Boston Qualification, or resetting ahead of a new training block, we lay out the exact blueprint for setting up a successful 16-to-20-week macrocycle. We break down the medical and orthopedic reality of tissue adaptation, explain why muscle strength outpaces tendon durability, and outline the pre-block readiness audit every runner should pass before starting Week 1.We also dive deep into the science of the aerobic engine and why 80% of your training volume must feel effortless. Discover how Zone 2 running drives capillary expansion, mitochondrial biogenesis, and fat oxidation—and why falling into the "Gray Zone" (Zone 3) traps runners in cumulative fatigue. Plus, we share half-marathon prediction formulas to calculate a realistic race goal, explore the 3:1 build-to-recovery microcycle pattern, and discuss when it makes sense to work with a running coach.Show Notes & Links Mentioned:Full Article & Breakdown: Read the accompanying guide on MarathonJournal.comPacing Tools: Check your training zones using the VDOT Running CalculatorGet in Touch: Questions or topic requests for Part 2?

Dr. Rosy Boa discusses what happens when you take a break from pole, covering both physiological detraining and the emotional side of returning. She emphasizes not beating yourself up and notes that feeling awful after missing one class can signal an unhealthy dependency, suggesting support for possible exercise addiction. Aerobic capacity tends to noticeably drop after about two weeks away, while strength loss is slower and depends on training status and age: very trained lifters may not show measurable 1RM decreases until around 32 weeks, untrained individuals can lose strength after a 10-week break, and adults 74–86 may see strength and balance declines after two weeks. Returning typically takes about half the break time, and strength is often easier to rebuild due to “muscle memory,” with evidence that people can catch up to peers who never took a break.Interested in training online with Rosy?

The Learning Leader Show with Ryan Hawk www.LearningLeader.com New Book - The Price of Becoming - www.LearningLeader.com/Becoming This is brought to you by Insight Global. If you need to hire one person, hire a team of people, or transform your business through Talent or Technical Services, Insight Global's team of 30,000 people around the world has the hustle and grit to deliver. My guest: Ezekiel J. "Zeke" Emanuel, MD, PhD, is a prominent oncologist, bioethicist, and health policy expert. Currently Vice Provost for Global Initiatives at the University of Pennsylvania, he was instrumental in shaping the Affordable Care Act and served as the founding chair of the Department of Bioethics at the National Institutes of Health. Key Learnings Zeke's dad was called "Speedy." He was a Chicago pediatrician who worked 24-hour call, walked so fast the nurses had to run to keep up, and had a rule: the fourth child in any family was free. He recognized the financial strain on families and just wouldn't charge. Zeke's mom was the definition of the anti-helicopter parent. At the playground, she sat on the bench. At the beach, she dropped the boys off with a blanket and a snack. "You go play. Something goes wrong? Okay, that's how it goes." That's how three future powerhouse leaders learned to negotiate, create, and figure it out. The Emanuel brothers' group text is full of bragging. Zeke posted his 51.9 VO2 max score at 68 years old, asking, "Do I win in the family?" His kids replied that they don't even read the articles Zeke and Rahm forward anymore. Close doesn't mean uncompetitive. A dozen years ago, Zeke wrote his most famous article, "Why I Hope to Die at 75." He still stands by it. The point wasn't that he wants to die. The point is that after 75, he won't take medical treatments meant to prolong life. By age 75, 30% of adults have Alzheimer's or cognitive impairment. By 80, it's 40%. Zeke doesn't want to be remembered as a doddering old man who can't recognize his own family. Living a long time is a means, not an end. It's not the goal of life. It's what allows you to be present, engaged, and useful for the years you have. Biohacking is a lie: It suggests you know better than millions of years of evolution and the entire medical profession. The body isn't about maxing. It's about balance. Too much immune response gives you autoimmunity. Too little makes you sick. The body finds health in the median. You're not going to be perfect over decades. Wellness isn't a four-minute figure skating routine graded on execution. It's a lifetime practice. So build habits you enjoy and can sustain without thinking about them. Zeke's six simple rules for a long and healthy life: Don't be a schmuck. Avoid activities riskier than driving. Smoking, vaping, base jumping, climbing Everest. Talk to people. The number one predictor of a long, happy life. Expand your mind. Travel. Talk to the chef. Learn something new. Eat your ice cream. Moderation over perfection. Fermented foods and fiber. Move. Aerobic, strength, and flexibility. All three. Sleep like a baby. You can't will it. But you can create the conditions. The Harvard Adult Development Study followed people for 85 years. John F. Kennedy was in it. Ben Bradlee was in it. The finding: close friends and being married correlated with the healthiest, longest, happiest lives. Not exercise. Not diet. Relationships. Having no close friends is equivalent to smoking 15 cigarettes a day. That's how bad loneliness is for you. It's not just psychological. It's physical. Introverts get the same happiness boost from social interaction as extroverts. A University of Chicago study by Nicholas Epley found that introverts assume they won't enjoy talking to strangers on their commute. They were wrong. When they did it, they were just as happy as extroverts. Take the headphones off. Zeke has been telling people this since the iPod era. Random encounters increase your surface area for luck, learning, and connection. You never know who you're going to meet or what they might tell you. To be interesting, you have to be interested. Zeke asks to meet the chef at every great restaurant. He asks his Ethiopian Uber driver which tribe he's from. He talks to the person on the plane. It's virtuous. Good for you AND good for them. Zeke's hero is Ben Franklin. Franklin came back to America at 80 after negotiating the end of the Revolutionary War. The first thing he did was build a library for his curiosity and a dining room for his social dinners. That's the way to live. The wellness trifecta: hosting a dinner party with curious people. You're eating good food. You're getting together with people. Your mind is being stretched by great conversation. Three benefits from one activity. Zeke is anti-wellness-industrial-complex. Peptides from your corner store: disaster, unregulated, no idea what's in them. Testosterone replacement therapy without a real deficiency: bad idea, accelerates prostate cancer. Growth hormone for aging: promotes cancers. That's being a schmuck. Sleep is the one wellness practice you can't will yourself into. You can only build the conditions for it. Dark room. Cool temperature. No caffeine or alcohol eight hours before bed. Phone in another room. Read a book. Everything else is up to your body. Ice cream actually decreases your risk of type 2 diabetes. The fat content softens the glycemic response. Plus, you usually eat it with other people. Social eating matters. Zeke's champagne moment a year from now: finishing his next book on how to fix the American healthcare system, and turning 70. Reflection Questions Are you optimizing for length of life, or for the quality of years you actually get? When was the last time you turned your headphones off, introduced yourself to a stranger, or asked to meet the chef? Who are the friends you rely on for social interaction? Not casual acquaintances, but the ones who lift your health, longevity, and happiness. When did you last make plans with them?

Ever wonder what happens after you flush the toilet or wash something down the drain? In this episode of the Build America podcast, host Scott Jennings sits down with Brad Musick from Wastewater Solutions (WSI) to uncover the fascinating, unseen world of wastewater treatment. With over 40 years of experience, Brad shares his journey from the Navy to becoming a leading expert in the field. Together, they dive deep into the sophisticated blend of biology, physics, and massive infrastructure required to clean highly polluted water before it safely returns to the environment. From the Navy to Wastewater: Brad discusses his transition from military service to working at a local wastewater plant while balancing college and a starting family. The Magic of Biology: Discover how billions of bacteria are farmed to eat dissolved pollutants and transform dirty water into crystal clear effluent. Advanced Technology: Learn about the cutting edge roles of Ultraviolet (UV) treatment and Membrane Bioreactors in modern facilities. Class A vs. Class B Sludge: An explanation of how solids are treated, reduced, and recycled for beneficial agricultural use. The Unseen Infrastructure: A look at the incredible scale and financial investment buried right beneath our cities. The 5 Stages of Treatment: Preliminary (headworks and screening), Primary (clarifiers and gravity settling), Secondary (biological active sludge), Tertiary (advanced membrane filtration), and Disinfection (UV light execution). Microbe Environments: How operators manage Aerobic, Anoxic, and Anaerobic environments to maximize bacterial efficiency. Operations Insight: The critical roles of Return Activated Sludge (RAS) and Waste Activated Sludge (WAS) in maintaining plant balance. Through this conversation, it becomes clear that wastewater operators are the unsung heroes safeguarding public health and our natural water bodies every single day.

Can lifting weights slow how fast your brain ages?A new study used brain scans to measure exactly that. The results show that resistance training is a uniquely beneficial tool for brain health that works through different pathways than cardio.Lifting weights can make the brain test younger on functional MRI, and the benefits may keep compounding even long after you train. Learn what brain age measures, why the prefrontal cortex matters for Alzheimer's and cognitive aging, the muscle-to-brain signaling system activated by strength training, and how heavy lifting compares to moderate intensity for protecting the brain after 40. Plus a quick self-check for strength-related dementia risk, especially after 40. Enroll in Eat More Lift Heavy, the 26-week coached program where adults over 40 build the nutrition and training skills to lift heavy, build muscle, lose fat, and stay strong and sharp for decades.

NCAA Champion Anna Moesch turned heads last weekend when, at the AP Swim International, she clocked a 51.94 100 Freestyle. This was not only a new American record, but it was the first time a woman had dipped under the 52-second barrier since the 2020 Tokyo Olympics (in 2021) when Emma McKeon won gold in 51.96. This made Moesch the #2 performer all-time in the event at the time, a position she has since ceded to Marrit Steenbergen, who went 51.86 just days later in Canet, France. Moesch came on the SwimSwam Podcast and revealed what her last year has looked like. Last summer, Moesch missed qualifying for the US National team by one place and subsequently told her coach, Todd DeSorbo, that she never wanted that to happen again. Moesch has been putting a much bigger emphasis on threshold and middle distance training this year, even going into longer IM groups once or twice per week, in favor of just focusing on sprint training. This appears to have shown up in the back half of her races, specifically in her 51.9 100 free, where she came home in 26.7.
In this episode of the Flex Diet Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Nathan Jenkins to discuss how to improve performance, body composition, and long-term health through the lens of aerobic development and metabolic flexibility. Nathan shares his journey from exercise physiology and coaching CrossFit athletes to his new role teaching physiology at the University of Georgia School of Medicine. We discuss why metabolic flexibility is such a powerful framework for understanding everything from biochemistry and exercise performance to metabolic disease. We also dive into interpreting maximal exercise testing data, including VO₂ measurements, EKG analysis, and near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS), along with how different energy systems work together during training and competition. Nathan explains why building an aerobic base is critical for repeated high-intensity performance, how pacing impacts outcomes, and why the ability to "suffer" is actually a trainable skill. To wrap up, we cover practical strategies you can apply right away, including prioritizing protein and carbohydrates, improving sleep quality, and addressing common micronutrient deficiencies through blood work, such as magnesium, vitamin D, and omega-3 status.

Send us Fan MailStress can quietly sabotage GLP‑1 therapies by turning up cortisol, spiking cravings, and flattening the satiety signals you're counting on. We unpack that hidden loop and share a practical playbook to lower stress, protect your appetite control, and make your plan more sustainable.We start by mapping how the HPA axis elevates cortisol and interferes with GLP‑1 secretion and action. From there, we explore the gut microbiome's role in incretin signaling and why fiber, prebiotics, and fermented foods can restore metabolic rhythm. You'll hear how small daily choices—hydration, meal timing, and protein plus fiber at each meal—smooth glucose swings and reduce the urgency that leads to overeating. We make mindfulness tangible with short breathing protocols, body scans, and progressive muscle relaxation you can layer into a busy day, plus mindful eating tactics that help fullness show up on time.Movement rounds out the plan. Aerobic sessions lower anxiety and improve insulin sensitivity, strength training supports lean mass and confidence, and yoga or tai chi blend relaxation with mobility. We explain how better sleep ties it all together, reinforcing appetite control and recovery so your medication works as intended. Throughout, we focus on simple, repeatable routines: anchor habits in the morning and evening, fiber first shopping, post meal walks, and community for accountability.If you're using semaglutide, tirzepatide, or another GLP‑1 and feel stuck, this conversation gives you the tools to reclaim momentum with a calm nervous system, a nourished gut, and a movement plan you enjoy. Subscribe, share this with someone on a similar journey, and leave a review telling us which habit you'll start this week.

Are you exercising for osteoporosis but unsure if your program is truly effective? Many people miss key components that make all the difference in preventing fractures and building strong bones. In this episode, I dive into the essentials of a complete osteoporosis exercise program. As a physical therapist with over 40 years of experience, I've seen so many women doing "good exercises" but still missing critical pieces that protect their bones and reduce fracture risk. I break down the five core components every osteoporosis program should include and share practical tips for making these exercises effective. I also talk about balance exercises and why improving balance is crucial for preventing falls, and I highlight posture techniques to protect the spine and enhance spinal stability. Finally, I share resources, handouts, and videos you can access for free, so you can implement these exercises safely at home. Whether you're walking, dancing, or doing resistance training, these tips will help you make your program complete and effective for bone strength and independence. "Research has shown that the bones respond to the forces placed upon them. So when a muscle is contracting against resistance, it's pulling on the bone and shaking the bone as if to say, hey, we need more bone here." ~ Margie Bissinger In this episode: - [01:19] - Five essentials for a bone-building program - [03:28] - Resistance training: proper weight, form, and frequency - [09:32] - Impact and weight-bearing exercises: why supervision helps - [11:49] - Balance training: static, dynamic, dual-tasking for fall prevention - [15:54] - Posture work: spinal alignment, seated posture, visual cues - [24:30] - Flexion vs. extension exercises - [27:10] - Movements to avoid - [34:55] - Aerobic exercise: benefits and limits for bone density - [35:25] - Core & pelvic floor: breathing and stabilization techniques - [39:08] - Happy Bones Club for workshops, Q&A, and more resources Resources - Osteoporosis Exercises - https://tinyurl.com/exercisesforme - Happy Bones Club membership - https://www.happyboneshappylife.com/bones-club More about Margie - Website - https://margiebissinger.com/ - Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/p/Margie-Bissinger-MS-PT-CHC-100063542905332/ - Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/margiebissinger/?hl=en DISCLAIMER – The information presented on this podcast should not be construed as medical advice.

Triathlon is a sport that rewards a big aerobic base, built over multiple years (if not decades) of training. But even though we all know this, it's often hard in practice to prioritise this kind of long-term aerobic development, and we make tradeoffs that might lead to short-term gains, but might not help us achieve our full potential in the long-term. Coach Carson Christen joins me today to discuss this topic in detail. By the end of this episode you should have a better idea of what you can do today, this month, and this year, to maximise your long-term development as a triathlete. HIGHLIGHTS AND KEY TOPICS: How many lifetime training hours do you need to get close to (90% of the way there) your full triathlon potential? How age-group triathletes should adopt a more long-term focused mindset to their training with this in mind What is the role of intensity when it comes to long-term aerobic development? Do swimming, cycling and running require different approaches to maximise long-term development? Common mistakes age-group triathletes and triathlon coaches make that might lead to short-term gains while limiting long-term potential Practical tips and takeaways DETAILED EPISODE SHOWNOTES: We have detailed shownotes for all of our episodes. The shownotes are basically the podcast episode in written form, that you can read in 5-10 minutes. They are not transcriptions, but they are also not just surface-level overviews.

Today we look at simplifying the often complex chain of energy and how it relates to what you eat and your mental stress. We look at ways to recognize and dissipate stress in a productive way. We look at why that first mile or so of the run can feel terrible but the end feels amazing. It can also go the other way. Why? We talk about heart rate variation during training and some of the signs you should be looking for during your workouts. We talk about how training is a bunch of microcosms for your race and how certain days can prepare you for the unknown. We talk about controlling cortisol spikes, the 48 hour rule, and compounding stress. We look at the classic sign of overtraining, how your diet and actions can affect you for several days, and how to tangle with delayed muscle soreness and fatigue.

Episode 212: Managing HFpEFHyo Mun and Jordan Redden (medical students) explain how to manage HFpEF with medications and touch some basics about nonpharmacologic treatments. Dr. Arreaza asks insightful questions to guide the discussion. Written by Hyo Mun, MSIV, American University of the Caribbean; and Jordan Redden, MSIV, Ross University School of Medicine. Comments by Hector Arreaza, MD.You are listening to Rio Bravo qWeek Podcast, your weekly dose of knowledge brought to you by the Rio Bravo Family Medicine Residency Program from Bakersfield, California, a UCLA-affiliated program sponsored by Clinica Sierra Vista, Let Us Be Your Healthcare Home. This podcast was created for educational purposes only. Visit your primary care provider for additional medical advice.Treatment of HFpEFArreaza: Mike, if you had to name the one therapy everyone with HFpEF should be on, what is it?Mike: That's easy! SGLT-2 inhibitors. This is the one slam-dunk we have in HFpEF. Empagliflozin (Jardiance) or dapagliflozin (Farxiga) should be started in essentially every patient with HFpEF, and it doesn't matter if they have diabetes or not.Jordan: And that's worth repeating, because people still think of these as “diabetes drugs.” They're not anymore. In HFpEF, SGLT-2 inhibitors reduce heart-failure hospitalizations, improve symptoms, improve quality of life, and even reduce cardiovascular death.Dr. Arreaza: They're also simple. Empagliflozin 10 mg daily or dapagliflozin 10 mg daily. No titration, no drama. The effectiveness of these meds was established around 2019 with DAPA-HF and later with DELIVER. These were trials thatdemonstrated that dapagliflozin reduces worsening heart failure and cardiovascular events across the full spectrum of heart failure, from reduced to preserved ejection fraction, independent of diabetes status.Mike: And the number needed to treat is about 28 to prevent one heart-failure hospitalization. That's excellent for a disease where we historically had almost nothing that worked.Jordan: They're also safe in chronic kidney disease down to an eGFR of about 25, which makes them even more useful in this population.Dr. Arreaza: Alright. We got SGLT-2 inhibitor, what's next?Mike: Volume management. Loop diuretics are still the backbone of symptom control in HFpEF. If the patient is volume overloaded, you diurese, and you diurese aggressively.Jordan: The goal is euvolemia. Dry weight, no edema, no orthopnea, no waking up gasping for air. A lot of these patients end up needing chronic oral loop diuretics to stay there.Dr. Arreaza: Something to remember: HFpEF patients don't tolerate congestion well, and being “a little wet” is not benign. Let's move into RAAS inhibition. Where do ARBs and ACE inhibitors fit in?Mike: Between ARBs and ACE inhibitors, ARBs are the winners in HFpEF. They actually reduce heart failure hospitalizations—drugs like candesartan, losartan, valsartan. ACE inhibitors? Not so much. They showed minimal benefit in older HFpEF patients, which is why we go with ARBs instead.Jordan: But a lot of clinicians get nervous about ACE inhibitors and ARBs because of kidney function, so it's worth talking through how these drugs actually work in the kidney.Dr. Arreaza: Yes, misunderstanding may lead to unnecessary drug discontinuation.Jordan: Under normal conditions, the afferent arteriole brings blood into the glomerulus, and the efferent arteriole is constricted by angiotensin II. That constriction keeps pressure high in the glomerulus and maintains filtration.Mike: Here's what happens with an ACE inhibitor: you block angiotensin II, the efferent arteriole relaxes, glomerular pressure drops, and GFR dips slightly. Creatinine bumps up a little, and that scares people, but that's actually the whole point—that's how you get kidney protection long-term.Jordan: High intraglomerular pressure causes hyperfiltration injury and scarring over time. Lowering that pressure protects the kidney long-term. The short-term GFR drop is the price you pay for long-term benefits.Dr. Arreaza: So let's talk about CKD, because this is where people panic.Mike: Right. ACE inhibitors and ARBs are not contraindicated in chronic kidney disease. In fact, they're recommended even in advanced stages. They reduce progression to kidney failure by about a third.Jordan: The key is how you use them. Start low. Check creatinine and potassium one to two weeks after starting, then periodically. A creatinine rise up to 30% from baseline is acceptable. That's not kidney injury, that's physiology.Dr. Arreaza: And what about potassium creeping up?Mike: You adjust the dose or add a potassium binder. You don't just automatically stop the drug.Dr. Arreaza: Now there is one absolute contraindication everyone needs to know about! (board exam test)Jordan: Bilateral renal artery stenosis. This is the big one. In these patients, the kidneys are completely dependent on angiotensin II–mediated efferent constriction to maintain GFR. Take that away, and GFR collapses.Mike: Creatinine can jump dramatically within days. If you see a creatinine rise of 20% or more shortly after starting an ACE inhibitor, you should be thinking about bilateral renal artery stenosis and stopping the drug immediately.Dr. Arreaza: After revascularization, though, many patients can tolerate ACE inhibitors again, so this isn't always permanent. What about cardiorenal syndrome? That's where things get uncomfortable.Mike: It is uncomfortable, but cardiorenal syndrome isn't a contraindication. These patients have severe heart failure and kidney disease, and their mortality is actually higher than patients with heart failure alone.Jordan: ACE inhibitors still reduce mortality and slow kidney disease progression in this group. Studies show that stopping ACE inhibitors during acute heart-failure admissions increases in-hospital mortality three- to four-fold.Dr. Arreaza: So we are cautious, but we don't avoid it.Mike: Exactly. Start low, titrate slowly, monitor labs closely, accept up to a 30% creatinine rise. You only stop if kidney function keeps worsening, or potassium gets dangerously high.Dr. Arreaza: Alright. Let's move on. What about mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists… MRA?Jordan: Spironolactone or eplerenone might reduce hospitalizations in HFpEF, but the data is mixed. This is more of a “select patients” situation.Mike: And you have to watch potassium and kidney function carefully, especially if they're already on an ACE inhibitor or ARB.Dr. Arreaza: What about sacubitril-valsartan, also known as Entresto®?Mike: Entresto may help patients with mildly reduced EF roughly in the 45 to 57% range. It's not first-line for HFpEF, but in select patients, it's reasonable.Dr. Arreaza: Now let's clarify one of the biggest sources of confusion: beta blockers.Jordan: Beta blockers are not a treatment for HFpEF itself. They're only indicated if the patient has another reason to be on them, like coronary disease or atrial fibrillation.Mike: And timing really matters here. You absolutely do not start beta blockers during acute decompensated heart failure. Their negative inotropic effects can make things worse when patients are volume overloaded.Jordan: But, and this is critical, you also don't stop them if the patient is already taking one. Abrupt withdrawal causes a sympathetic surge and dramatically increases mortality.Dr. Arreaza: If a patient is admitted on a beta blocker, what do we do?Mike: Continue it at the same dose or reduce it slightly if they're really unstable. Once they're euvolemic and stable, you can carefully titrate up.Jordan: And watch for chronotropic incompetence. HFpEF patients often rely on heart-rate response to exercise, and beta blockers can worsen exercise intolerance.Dr. Arreaza: Beyond medications, HFpEF is really about treating comorbidities. Aerobic activity can be an initial strategy to improve exercise intolerance and has evidence of improving aerobic function and quality of life. Sodium restriction: improves symptoms, does not decrease risk of death or hospitalizations.Mike: Hypertension control is huge. For diabetes, the SGLT-2 inhibitors will perform double duty. For obesity, weight loss improves symptoms, and GLP-1 agonists like semaglutide are absolute gamechangers.Jordan: Don't forget sleep apnea, atrial fibrillation, and lifestyle. Exercise improves the quality of life, even if it doesn't change hard outcomes. Lifestyle is the main treatment. Dr. Arreaza: And when should you refer to cardiology?Mike: You should refer when the diagnosis isn't clear; symptoms are not responding to treatment, difficult volume management, end-organ dysfunction, or if you are concerned about advanced heart failure.Dr. Arreaza: So, it has been a great discussion. What is the takeaway?Mike: HFpEF treatment isn't about one magic drug -- it's about volume control, SGLT2 inhibitors, smart use of RAAS blockade, and aggressive management of comorbidities.Jordan: And it's understanding the physiology, so you don't withhold life-saving therapies out of fear.Dr. Arreaza: Well said. If you found this helpful, share it with a friend or colleague and rate us wherever you listen. This is Dr. Arreaza, signing off.Jordan/Mike: Thanks!

The Barbell Mamas Podcast | Pregnancy, Postpartum, Pelvic Health
Heavy lifting in early pregnancy carries a long shadow of fear—but the data tell a different story. We unpack a newly published study on first-trimester high-load resistance training, revealing that pelvic floor symptoms actually decreased compared to preconception, even as many athletes maintained intensities near 80% of one-rep max. We also dig into miscarriage rates in this cohort and how they align with population norms, pushing back on the narrative that smart, heavy training in early pregnancy is inherently risky.From there, we confront an overlooked reality: most active women receive little to no guidance on returning to exercise after miscarriage. We share raw, personal experiences of medical management, bleeding, and the confusing early weeks of recovery, then introduce a new survey designed to map real-world timelines, barriers, and advice quality. Whether you lift, run, flow, or mix it up, your input can shape practical, compassionate recommendations for getting back to movement in a safe, sustainable way.We round out the conversation with a deep dive into perimenopause and musculoskeletal pain, especially the spike in shoulder and low back-pelvic discomfort as women move from pre to peri. For athletes navigating postpartum in their 30s and 40s, this hormonal backdrop matters. Aerobic and resistance training may blunt vasomotor symptoms, but aches can still rise, calling for smarter load management, recovery, and clinical screening when needed. The throughline is clear: informed autonomy. With better data and honest dialogue, we can train hard, honor healing, and adapt across life's transitions.If you've experienced a miscarriage in the past year and were active before or during pregnancy, please check the show notes for our survey link and share it with someone who might benefit. If this resonated, subscribe, leave a review, and send this to a friend who trains. Your story moves the science forward.___________________________________________________________________________Don't miss out on any of the TEA coming out of the Barbell Mamas by subscribing to our newsletter You can also follow us on Instagram and YouTube for all the up-to-date information you need about pelvic health and female athletes.
