In this highly requested follow-up, Dr. Arny Ferrando returns to the Optimal Protein Podcast to go even deeper into the science of preserving muscle and optimizing body composition. Dr. Ferrando is one of the world's leading researchers in muscle protein metabolism, with over 35 years of groundbreaking work on essential amino acids, anabolic resistance, and nutrition-exercise interactions. We kick things off with his perspective on Protein-Sparing Modified Fasts (PSMF) versus water fasting, and the implications each has for fat loss and lean mass preservation. Dr. Ferrando also shares his positive take on collagen supplementation, including how it can support connective tissue health, and weighs in on the potential risks of GLP-1 medications to muscle tissue during rapid weight loss.

Dr. Ferrando also shares his positive take on collagen supplementation, including how it can support connective tissue health, and weighs in on the potential risks of GLP-1 medications to muscle tissue during rapid weight loss. The heart of this episode dives into anabolic resistance during menopause. Dr. Ferrando explains why it may not just be about hormones, but also about impaired nutrient delivery to muscle. He describes amino acids as the “signal” and blood flow as the “delivery truck”—a powerful analogy that reveals why exercise is so critical to overcoming anabolic resistance. We explore practical strategies for women to preserve muscle and improve body composition during midlife and beyond, including: Why blood flow and nutrient delivery may matter as much as hormones. How red light therapy and blood flow restriction training (BFR) could enhance amino acid delivery and muscle responsiveness. His recommendations for EAA dosing, timing, and frequency in peri- and postmenopausal women. The role of microvascular health and endothelial function in muscle retention. Why free-form EAAs are more efficient than intact protein under calorie restriction. This conversation is packed with actionable science and myth-busting insights that will help you understand how to protect your muscle, burn fat, and stay strong at every stage of life.

Rows are great for developing your upper back, but do they also work your biceps sufficiently? That certainly would be a good incentive to do more boring rows and less direct biceps work, to kill two swole birds with one stone. So, what does the science have to say about this? In today's episode, we break down a new study in which participants trained dumbbell rows with one arm and bicep curls with the other for eight weeks, and measured how the arms grew. The results were telling. *** Do you like what you hear so far? Please leave a five-star review in your podcast player. And hit that follow button! You can also follow us on Instagram.

Unlock better protein absorption and digestion with MassZymes by BiOptimizers. NOW GET 15% off your order with the code VANESSA at bioptimizers.com/vanessa The Bloating Episode! If you've ever struggled with bloating after eating, digestive discomfort, or wondered if your body is really absorbing all the protein and nutrients you consume, this episode is for you. I'm joined by Wade Lightheart, co-founder and president of BiOptimizers, to dive into the science of digestive enzymes and how they can transform digestion, nutrient absorption, and protein utilization. A former natural bodybuilding champion, Wade developed MassZymes after struggling with his own digestion on a high-protein diet. We cover: What EXACTLY causes bloating and poor protein digestion Why low stomach acid and declining enzyme levels with age can cause bloating and poor nutrient absorption. Clinical research on protease blends and a 2024 protein study showing improved amino acid absorption with enzyme support. A university laboratory test on MassZymes suggesting over 1,200% more amino acids released compared to digestion alone. How lipase enzymes can reduce bloating and fullness after high-fat meals. Why older adults and high-protein eaters may especially benefit from enzyme supplementation for muscle and metabolic health. If bloating, slow digestion, or protein absorption has ever held you back from feeling your best, this conversation will help you fix your bloat and unlock the full benefits of your nutrition.

Tonight's triple feature is about bodies turned into currency — fought over, driven to the edge, and sculpted into impossible ideals.We open with Queen of the Ring — Ash Avildsen's new biopic of Mildred Burke, starring Emily Bett Rickards. Burke wasn't just a wrestler, she was the first million-dollar female athlete, the longest-reigning women's world champion, and a single mother who forced her way into a sport that didn't want her. Rickards trained with real wrestlers like Kamille and Toni Storm to capture not just the bumps and holds, but the physical revolution Burke embodied. It's a film about blood, sweat, and every ounce of will it takes to demand equality through violence in the ring.From there, we slide into Joseph Kosinski's F1 — a story of speed, ego, and mortality. If Burke's ring was four ropes, Mann's arena is the racetrack, where every corner can kill you and every victory requires putting body and machine in perfect sync. It's about men who turn themselves into missiles, knowing one wrong turn means fire and death.We close with Magazine Dreams — Jonathan Majors' portrait of a bodybuilder dissolving under the weight of his own ambition. His body is a weapon, his physique his calling card, but the more he sculpts himself into perfection, the further he drifts from humanity. It's a movie about the cost of being seen — and what happens when recognition never comes.Taken together, these films form a grim but riveting arc: the wrestler, the racer, the bodybuilder. Three people who make their bodies into tickets — to fame, to survival, to love — only to discover the price is higher than they ever imagined.Disclaimer: The following may contain offensive language, adult humor, and/or content that some viewers may find offensive – The views and opinions expressed by any one speaker does not explicitly or necessarily reflect or represent those of Mark Radulich or W2M Network.Mark Radulich and his wacky podcast on all the things:https://linktr.ee/markkind76alsohttps://www.teepublic.com/user/radulich-in-broadcasting-networkFB Messenger: Mark Radulich LCSWTiktok: @markradulichtwitter: @MarkRadulichInstagram: markkind76RIBN Album Playlist: https://suno.com/playlist/91d704c9-d1ea-45a0-9ffe-5069497bad59

I came across Grazia's masterpiece of cinema Body Odyssey and was immediately blown away. The story, the acting and everything was like if David Lynch and David Cronenberg made a film about female body building. I know how that sounds and, I had to have her on the pod to talk. Because I was part of multiple people interviewing her, I only had 20 mins to chat, but, as you could tell I could easily talk for another hour. If you can get a chance, check out Body Odyssey, now making the rounds at film festivals. If you're not doing so already, please like and follow Classic American Movies on Instagram and Facebook. I do free movie giveaways, mini movie reviews and more! Also, I decided to dabble in making my own slasher film called “Bishop's Day”. Check out the Instagram page for updates.

Longer rest times between sets typically mean larger strength and muscle gains. But what if you're short on time? Enter: alternating sets!  Don't know what alternating sets are?

Ann Louise Gittleman welcomes Joe Wells—UNI KEY's behind-the-scenes partner in the development of Collagen 4+ and a seasoned entrepreneur with three decades in health and fitness. A former NFL player turned industry innovator, Joe founded Max Muscle and scaled it to nearly 200 franchise stores, launched Max Sports & Fitness magazine, helped develop more than 200 nutrition products, and was honored as Entrepreneur of the Year by the Academy of Bodybuilding, Fitness & Sports. In this fast, plain-English masterclass, Joe demystifies collagen (19 amino acids, grass-fed, hormone-free, animal-derived) and explains why most powders aren't complete proteins. Collagen 4+ fixes that by adding L-tryptophan—so your scoop behaves like a complete protein—then turns up results with vitamin C to drive collagen synthesis, hyaluronic acid (famous for holding up to 1,000× its weight in water) for skin hydration and joint comfort, and AstraGin®️ for up to 70% more collagen absorption! Clean and flavorless, it disappears into coffee, smoothies, or soups—making it a perfect way to boost your collagen levels for strength, skin, and recovery. The post Meet The Secret Genius Behind UNI KEY's Collagen 4+ first appeared on Ann Louise Gittleman, PhD, CNS.

Anyone who's ever competed in bikini or fit model knows this truth: it's not always about how hard you work. Sometimes you bring your best package and you still don't place where you hoped. Sometimes your body doesn't peak right. And sometimes… life outside the gym throws challenges that spill into prep.   This is where adversity shows up.

I therefore, a prisoner for the Lord, urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called, 2 with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, 3 eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. 4 There is one body and one Spirit—just as you were called to the one hope that belongs to your call— 5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism, 6 one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all. 7 But grace was given to each one of us according to the measure of Christ's gift. 8 Therefore it says, “When he ascended on high he led a host of captives,     and he gave gifts to men.”  9 (In saying, “He ascended,” what does it mean but that he had also descended into the lower regions, the earth? 10 He who descended is the one who also ascended far above all the heavens, that he might fill all things.) 11 And he gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds and teachers, 12 to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ, 13 until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ, 14 so that we may no longer be children, tossed to and fro by the waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by human cunning, by craftiness in deceitful schemes. 15 Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ, 16 from whom the whole body, joined and held together by every joint with which it is equipped, when each part is working properly, makes the body grow so that it builds itself up in love.1.     Do you agree it can be easy to approach church with a consumer mindset? How often is your primary question, “is this serving my needs?” 2.     Have you heard something like, “my church is to go on a walk in the redwoods”? How is that possibly like church and also not like church?3.     Does the local church's call to be the physical presence of Jesus excite you? Why or why not?4.     We talked about unity, rescue and experience as ways the church can reflect Jesus. How do you think GSB is doing along those lines, or others, reflecting Jesus? 5.     Paul paints a picture that believers in the local church are connected to each other and need each other to grow collectively and individually. Do you agree with this? How does this conflict with our individualism?6.     Do you believe you are needed at your local church and have been given a role and function to play? What might that ‘serving grace' be?

Pre-exhaust training is a strength training philosophy popularized in the 1970s. Many bodybuilders still swear by it, but what does the scientific evidence say? In today's episode, we examine a new study comparing pre-exhaust training with traditional training, and give you our thoughts on when and how to implement it in your own training. Also, here's the bulletin on ”the pre-exhaustion principle” by Nautilus founder Arthur Jones, which we read an excerpt from during the episode (if you want to read the whole thing). *** Do you like what you hear so far?

In this episode of Unleashing Intuition Secrets, host Michael Jaco is joined by Noah from Optimum Nutrition to unpack one of the most controversial health questions of our time: raw milk vs. pasteurized milk. Together, they explore the history of pasteurization and how it reshaped public perception of milk, the health risks linked to pasteurized milk, and the powerful benefits of raw milk that have been overlooked or suppressed. From its rich nutritional profile — packed with vitamins, enzymes, and probiotics — to the ways it supports immunity and gut health, this conversation reveals why so many believe raw milk is a truly superior natural food. Michael and Noah also offer practical guidance on safely sourcing and consuming raw milk, empowering you to make informed decisions about what's really nourishing your body.

In today's episode, Vanessa sits down with Dr. Samuel Dicken, Research Fellow at University College London's Centre for Obesity Research and lead author of the UPDATE Trial — the longest and most rigorous clinical study to date comparing ultra-processed (UPF) vs. minimally processed (MPF) diets. This landmark trial revealed a game-changing finding:

What happens when life takes a surprise hard left turn and suddenly you're staring at a brand-new chapter? Do you crumble… or do you rise up and write the next page with faith, grit, and purpose? This week, I sit down with my great friend, powerhouse coach, and brother-in-iron, Bennie Wiley. Bennie and I worked together on NBC STRONG several years ago and I recently conducted this podcast interview just weeks after Bennie's tenure as the Head Football Strength & Conditioning Coach at USC (U. of Southern California) ended. Bennie's story is one of perseverance, transition, and staying grounded in faith through the messy middle of change. After decades in strength & conditioning — from the Dallas Cowboys to Oklahoma to USC — Bennie found himself navigating an unexpected career pivot. Instead of letting it break him, he's leaning into the unknown, rewriting his story, and chasing new passions with fire. We cover a TON in this heartfelt and inspiring conversation, including: The “next” chapter– how to prepare for what's coming even when you don't know what it is. Handling adversity – who you really are shows up when life gets hard. Family first – how Bennie is embracing time with his kids and creating moments he missed before. Bodybuilding lessons – what stepping on stage taught him about discipline, nutrition, and respecting ALL areas of fitness. Life wisdom – why keeping your circle tight and being fully present “where your feet are” changes everything. Writing vs. rewriting – Bennie's mindset shift that every chapter builds on the last, not erases it. This episode will fire you up to face your own next “season” with courage, clarity, and conviction. Bennie is raw, real, and full of life wisdom that will help you get your mind right and keep moving forward. Let's keep inspiring greatness, building purpose, and creating IMPACT together. Let's go up to IMPACT-X Performance Huntington Beach where we recently had a Retreat and listen to the interview with Coach Wylie NOW…   Tune in, take notes, and remember — you don't need to rewrite your story.
