In this episode, Simon chats with Martin Whitaker — a performance coach and PhD researcher specialising in blood flow restriction (BFR) training — about powerful tools for boosting performance, enhancing recovery, and staying fit for life. Topics Discussed: What is blood flow restriction training and how does it work? Strength and hypertrophy gains with lower loads Case studies from ACL rehab and elite football clubs VO₂ Max development using low-intensity interval training with BFR Using BFR for recovery, tapering, and mid-competition maintenance Who should not use BFR (health contraindications like DVT or AFib) Why VO₂ Max matters for longevity (Peter Attia's “Centenarian Decathlon” idea) How to structure high-intensity VO₂ Max intervals for over-50s The importance of fat max, fractional utilisation, and fuelling strategy Quotes: “VO₂ Max is a bit of a vanity number for athletes… but it's also one of the strongest predictors of longevity.” — Martin Whitaker “BFR lets you get the same strength gains at 20–40% of 1RM that you'd usually need 70% for.” “High-intensity work gets harder with age — but it also gets more important.” Call to Action: If this episode inspired or helped you, please: Leave us a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ review Subscribe to the High Performance Human Podcast on your favourite platform Share this episode with a friend who's racing soon!

In the latest episode of BFR Radio, I continue the journey of BFR aerobic exercise and look into the benefits of BFR cycling combined with high-intensity interval training for cyclists. In episode 3, I covered a BFR cycling training study that compared low-intensity BFR cycling with more traditional high-intensity interval training. The results for including low-intensity BFR cycling were surprising in producing both aerobic and strength gains. In this episode, I am reviewing a comprehensive 2022 study, examining how BFR cycling not only improves VO2 max and endurance but also significantly enhances muscle size and strength. Article: Tangchaisuriya, P., Chuensiri, N., Tanaka, H., & Suksom, D. (2021). Physiological Adaptations to High-Intensity Interval Training Combined with Blood Flow Restriction in Masters Road Cyclists. Medicine and science in sports and exercise, 54(5), 830-840. I'll go into the specific training protocols used, the physiological responses measured, and the remarkable performance outcomes observed. I also share practical tips for integrating BFR sessions into your training regimen to maximise both strength and aerobic capacity. This episode highlights the value of BFR cycling as a powerful tool for enhancing athletic performance, particularly for aging athletes, and also athletes who want to maximise their training.

Have you noticed a sudden shift in your body after menopause, despite maintaining your usual exercise routine? That unexplained weight around your middle, loss of muscle tone, and decreased energy isn't your imagination—it's your hormones working against you.Award-winning fitness coach Ashley Selman reveals the missing piece of the midlife fitness puzzle that most women never hear about: as estrogen drops during menopause, human growth hormone (HGH) plummets alongside it. This hormonal double-whammy explains why traditional workouts stop delivering results after 45, and why some exercise approaches might actually be making things worse.The good news? There's a scientifically-proven training method that can reverse these changes by naturally stimulating HGH production—without requiring heavy weights, intense impact, or hours at the gym. Blood Flow Restriction training has been used safely for decades in medical settings and is now becoming accessible to everyday women looking to reclaim their strength, energy and body composition during midlife.Through this enlightening conversation, you'll discover why muscle truly is your friend after 45, how to activate the specific muscle fibers that diminish with age, and why just 20 minutes three times weekly can transform how you feel and function. Ready to stop fighting your changing hormones and start working with them? Listen now to discover how this approach could transform not just how you look, but how you'll feel and function for decades to come. Your future self will thank you.Bio A former nationally-ranked athlete and Olympic trainer, Ashley Selman has been an award-winning fitness coach and expert in California's Silicon Valley for 30 years.

Anytime I have the opportunity to learn from a biological dentist, I'm all in. But couple that base of knowledge with someone that has also been biohacking (and utilizing red light therapy) longer than I've been alive? Now we've got ourself a compelling conversation! Enter Dr. Gene Sambataro, whom has seemingly always been way ahead of the curve, as it relates to both the world of dentistry and biohacking. He was questioning and excluding mercury fillings from his practice decades before his contemporaries and was biohacking far before it was a term. What is he doing today that is ahead of its time?In our conversation today, Dr. Sambataro details his path from centralized dentistry en route to the holistic counterpart and why the choice was so apparent to him in a time where is wasn't to virtually any of his contemporaries. As you can imagine, since he was biohacking decades before everyone else, he has accrued many hacks for health that are now also implemented into his biological dentist practice. Along with his professional practice, Dr. Sam is also opening a new wellness center that is focused on performance and longevity. He shares the fun tools and modalities that will be offered at the center.From Dr. Sam's bio on his dental practice website: "There are many physicians that report nearly 80% of all illnesses are related to infections, toxicities, and imbalances in the mouth. I choose to focus on biological dentistry because I believe we are at the beginning of a fundamental shift in the practice of dentistry. A transformation that will shift the focus of dental practices away from the emergency treatment of symptoms towards compassionate, comprehensive and preventative biological care that truly embraces the philosophy of Hippocrates: 'First do no harm.'

0-20: Chet Paulsen introduction and talking about the birth of Rockcuffs, understanding Blood Flow Restriction, design of BFR cuffs. Design problems are the main cause for safety issues. Truly dissecting research and understanding improper or misrepresented studies. Hormonal response to BFR, endocrine response, cause for DOMS. Using BFR for pain reduction for up to 24 hours afterwards.20-30: BFR reduces pain, improves strength and muscle size, improve adherence to use, uses for recovery. Ability to improve Vo2 Max levels. Importance of using BFR on both limbs.30-40: Targeting both sides with BFR as both limbs become affected after an injury/surgery. Average person does not know their 1 Rep max, can use BFR with minimal exercises with process of tightening and loosening to have benefits. BFR can have benefits during passive range of mobilization and joint mobilizations. BFR is not just mechanical it is endocrine, metabolic hack. Hormonal release is systemic, hypothalamus will put hormones in motion. Cells become more permeable to IGF Insulin growth factor. M Torque 1 is where it makes transition from blood stream to the muscle. BFR can have benefits for slowing diseases like Parkinson's due to angiogenesis process. Importance of using BFR post injury.40-50: Contraindications to using BFR. Safety and injury issues with BFR come from high pressure. Pressure changes when exercising, Arterial Occlusion pressure changes on muscle based on position of muscle and also from rest to exercises as blood flow increases. Venous pressure is 1/10th of arterial, veins are more compliant as they have a smaller muscle around them, hold 70% of blood volume. Venous occlusion happens between 20-70mm of pressure. Rock cuffs are rigid and equal efficiency pressure of 2 inches. Pneumatic cuffs tend to bubble and limited adequate pressure, too much pressure in the middle. Most pneumatic cuffs are shiny object tools. Understanding cuff size and efficient pressure to limb size.50-60: Pressure doubles under cuff during exercise, more pressure is not better. Time it takes for set up and ease of putting on cuffs being a factor. Understanding measuring venous pressure, difference between lean individuals and bigger individuals and use of pressure on cuff. Reinforcing again that the pressure in the cuff when the muscle is relaxed changes when the muscle is contracted. 30-15-15-15 with the rest breaks is the aerobic capacity of the muscle. The middle part of the last set, fatigue should occur. Reps should be consistent without a pause, pause means fatigue is setting in and too much pressure. Don't need fancy equipment to tell you how tight a cuff needs to be.60-70: Understanding proper placement and use of Rockcuffs, adjusting pressure, dosage of exercise. Arterial flow is never full occluded, do not need to fully occlude arterial flow. 18-20 minutes is max time of being occluded. Feedback and observation are best clues to understanding occlusion and fatigue levels. Lactate levels above normal for 10 minutes 3x week, hypothalamus will start it's process. BFR has to be consistent and used as a supplement to exercise not just one set of exercise or one time use during a week.70-80: BFR is a partnering with body system response not a punishment or trick system like most training programs. Calorie consumption is important for during use of BFR. Central aminos, hydration are key for building blocks IGF, and M Torque 1 process. Protein synthesis will be optimized with BFR, hydration and central aminos. Avoid caffeine for 90 minutes beforehand using BFR routine, Have caffeine after because it is a vasoconstrictor. Following BFR want vasodilation response after Un occluding. BFR allows to do exercise with less weight and less injury due to lower resistance and focus on form and technique. Understanding 30-15-15-15 and 30-30-30 regimens. Want to keep pressure low and regimens prescribed the proper way to ensure adherence and reduce DOMS. And more…

In this conversation, Douglas Lucas discusses blood flow restriction (BFR) bands, also known as Katsu bands, a tool that can provide the benefits of resistance training without the need for heavy weights. BFR bands work by restricting blood flow to the muscles, which stimulates a response similar to that of lifting heavy weights. This can be beneficial for individuals with osteoporosis who may have difficulty lifting heavy objects. BFR bands can be used by a wide range of individuals, from athletes looking for an edge to those recovering from injury or with low muscle mass. However, it is important to use BFR bands safely and consult with a healthcare provider if you have any medical conditions or concerns.

On today's episode we're rebooting our most popular episode of all time which focuses on rehabilitation of ACL surgery with Candace Townley Cox, a Doctor of Physical Therapy and body movement expert at Evolution Physical Therapy. We're going to continue our discussion with Candace Townley Cox and focus on rehabilitation of quad function and lower extremity mobility after surgery.We start with a systematic review from the August 2022 issue of AJMS titled The Effects of Blood Flow Restriction in Patients Undergoing Knee Surgery. Now, we did a whole episode on blood flow restriction therapy or “BFR” with Dr. Eddie Chang back in October of 2021. If you haven't already listened, go check it out! In brief, BFR involves the use of a cuff or tourniquet system positioned at the upper part of the limb to restrict venous blood return while maintaining arterial inflow. Restriction of venous outflow leads to an anaerobic – or oxygen depleted – environment similar to that of higher-intensity training. This anaerobic environment is hypothesized to promote muscle hypertrophy through a combination of cell signaling and hormonal changes, effectively leading to muscle mass and strength gains at lower intensity training – ideal for our post-op patients.Lawrence Wengle and colleagues at the University of Toronto performed this review of 11 papers and concluded that the use of BFR led to significant improvements in quad muscle mass, quantified by cross-sectional area of the muscle, and quad strength after knee surgery. Patient reported outcomes were not significantly different between those who used BFR and those who did not. Lastly, in the two studies that used BFR pre-op, no significant benefit was found.

However, Raj reached a point where he questioned the trajectory of his life. As he looked at his role and pondered whether was it about money or power. This pivotal moment led him to take a year-long sabbatical, a period of self-reflection that clarified his desire to break free and create something of his own. Under his leadership in Hytro in creating the first widely available BFR products but has also secured partnerships with top rugby and football teams, as well as well-known sportsmen like Cam Noorie and Sam Warburton.

Health and wellness are vast arenas, but a few figures cut through the noise with their pioneering insights and transformative impacts. Dr. Joseph Mercola is undeniably one of them. Hailing from Chicago, Dr. Mercola's multifaceted journey encompasses marathon feats and leadership roles at prestigious institutions like St. Alexius Medical Center. Dr. Mercola is the author of 15 books, with his most recent book, “The Truth About COVID-19”, being a national bestseller on Amazon, Wall Street Journal, USA Today, and Publishers Weekly. Three of his books have also been included in The New York Times Best Sellers list, namely Effortless Healing, The No-Grain Diet, and The Great Bird Flu Hoax. In the 1990s, Dr. Mercola recognized the monumental potential of holistic, preventative health measures. This revelation gave birth to Mercola.com in 1997, a sanctuary for those drawn to a natural approach to wellness. Beyond being a top-ranking health website, it stands as a bastion against misinformation, challenging narratives propagated by corporate and governmental behemoths. In today's conversation, Dr. Mercola and I get into the nexus between vitamin D and COVID-19, uncover the links between the modern American diet and mitochondrial damage, and traverse the intriguing landscape of Intermittent Hypoxia Training (IHT). As we delve into the historical trajectory of obesity and diabetes and explore the mechanisms of methylene blue and ozone, prepare for another discussion that is always fascinating and enlightening.

For years, I've been talking about how if I could choose one single method of cardiovascular training to do the rest of my life, it would be the use of this strange “VASPER" machine that holds a hollowed place in my home gym. It's a bit difficult to describe, but essentially VASPER combines blood flow restriction/compression, cold thermogenesis, and full-body high-intensity interval training in a single 21-minute workout that seems to give the same benefits as, a comparable 2- to 3-hour workout of running, cycling, swimming, etc. It's truly something I consider to be the ultimate biohacking “shortcut” to getting fit. Don't give me wrong: it's a challenging workout when you use VASPER, but when you combine all of the technologies within this impressive unit, the fitness payoff is huge. In today's chat with Peter Wasowski, we unravel the magic behind VASPER, merging compression, cooling, and high-intensity workouts. We'll touch on its unique effects on body temperature and blood flow, and even get a sneak peek at the upcoming VASPER Breath device. Whether you're a fitness novice or a seasoned biohacker, this chat with Peter offers insights you won't want to miss.
