Body recomp, weight loss, and nutrition get harder when hunger runs the show. What if the problem isn't your macros, but how your meals are built? What if you could lose fat without battling cravings all day?Registered dietitian Abbey Sharp, author of The Hunger Crushing Combo Method and host of Bite Back podcast, breaks down the satiety science behind protein, fiber, and healthy fats. We talk about why protein matters for muscle building and metabolism, why fiber is a game-changer for fullness and gut health, and how to include “naked carbs” without triggering food noise or binge cycles.You'll learn why tracking macros can be useful without becoming obsessive, how strength training protects muscle during fat loss, and what GLP-1 users need to know about nutrition, protein, and long-term results.Get Fitness Lab now 20% off through July 3, to become your healthiest after 40 with the most personalized fitness app. Daily coaching that adjusts to your energy, recovery, and schedule.

After four years, this is it — my final episode of Thoughts on Illustration. Instead of going out with a single deep dive, I wanted to leave you with a roundup: the seven tips I find myself circling back to most often, whether I'm recording an episode, teaching a class, or sitting across from someone in a one-on-one coaching session. And then I close with one last piece of advice that I think ties everything else together — especially relevant right now, with AI reshaping how we think about creativity and originality.Thank you for four years of listening, sharing, and supporting this show. It's meant more to me than you know.Have a Daily Drawing Practice: Why drawing regularly — especially slow, observational drawing from life — is the foundational skill every illustrator needs before taking on real client work.Know What and Who Inspires You: Why your heroes and mentors (most of whom you'll never meet, and many of whom are long gone) are essential teachers, and how to study them like a student.Share Your Work: Why sharing isn't optional self-promotion but a core part of the creative process — it builds accountability, audience, and feedback you can't get any other way.Take Technique Seriously: Moving past "just drawing with color" toward real artistic technique, and how working within a "media paradigm" (drawing, painting, collage, or printmaking) sharpens your style.Lean Into Constraints: Why creative freedom isn't the absence of limits — it's working skillfully within them — and why illustration is always applied art with a purpose.Have a Well-Defined Creative Process: Breaking down the path from brief, to research, to sketches, to finished art — and why a repeatable process beats waiting for inspiration.Illustration Isn't Art, It's Problem Solving: Why thinking of illustration as a form of design — not just self-expression — actually frees you to do better creative work.Final Advice: Why the act of making art changes the artist, and why no AI tool can replace that deeply human, embodied experience of thinking and working through your hands.Drawing Is Important — The Book and Class: If you want to go deeper on tip #1, check out the book and the companion class on Skillshare.https://www.tomfroese.com/bookStyle Class, Composition for Illustrators, and The Six Stages of Illustration: Referenced throughout this episode — all available on Skillshare for anyone who wants to dig further into style, constraints, and process.https://www.tomfroese.com/teachingPast Episodes Mentioned: Episode 62 (How do you make an illustration cohesive?) and Episode 13 (Why constraints make you more creative) — both dig deeper into the constraints conversation from tip #5.One-on-One Coaching: If you want personal guidance on your portfolio or a specific project, book a session.https://www.tomfroese.com/coachingThank you to everyone who has listened, shared, and supported this podcast over the past four years — especially those of you who've supported here on Patreon.

Could something as simple as a 20-minute bike ride improve the quality of platelet-rich plasma?In this episode of Overtime with The Sports Docs, Drs. Ashley Bassett and Catherine Logan explore an intriguing laboratory study examining whether exercise performed immediately before a PRP blood draw can enhance the cellular composition of platelet-rich plasma.As biologic therapies continue to expand throughout sports medicine, optimizing PRP has become increasingly important. While most discussions focus on centrifuge systems, platelet concentrations, leukocyte content, and injection techniques, this study introduces another potential variable: the patient.The authors found that a brief bout of vigorous exercise significantly increased platelet concentrations and mobilized hematopoietic progenitor cells, raising the possibility that exercise could serve as a simple, low-cost strategy to optimize biologic treatments.In This Episode, We Discuss: The fundamentals of PRP and how it works  Why PRP variability remains one of the biggest challenges in interpreting the literature  Conditions with the strongest evidence supporting PRP:  Knee osteoarthritis  Lateral epicondylitis  Patellar tendinopathy  Plantar fasciitis  The concept of exercise-mobilized PRP  Differences between plasma-based and buffy coat PRP systems  Whether higher platelet concentrations actually translate into improved clinical outcomes  How this research may influence real-world PRP protocols Study BreakdownStudy Design: Prospective laboratory studyParticipants: 20 healthy volunteers (ages 21–45 years)Exercise Protocol: 5-minute warm-up  20 minutes of cycling  Target heart rate: 70–85% of predicted maximum Blood samples were obtained before and immediately after exercise and processed using two PRP systems:ACP System (plasma-based PRP) Angel System (buffy coat PRP) Key FindingsWhole Blood Changes After Exercise Platelet count increased approximately 22% White blood cell count increased approximately 50%ACP System Platelet concentration increased from approximately: 457,000/µL → 562,000/µLAngel System Platelet concentration increased from approximately: 2.95 million/µL → 3.77 million/µL PRP volume increased  Hematopoietic progenitor cell concentrations increased significantly Why This MattersThe study suggests that patient physiology before blood collection may significantly influence the final biologic product.A brief exercise session may: Increase platelet yield  Mobilize progenitor cells  Potentially enhance biologic activity  Provide a low-cost method to optimize PRP preparation For clinicians performing biologic injections, exercise may become another controllable variable alongside: PRP preparation system  Centrifuge settings  Leukocyte concentration  Injection technique Clinical Pearls✔ PRP is not a single product. Composition varies substantially between systems.✔ Patient factors may influence PRP quality just as much as centrifuge settings.✔ Twenty minutes of exercise increased platelet concentrations in both PRP systems.✔ Buffy coat systems demonstrated increased progenitor cell concentrations.✔ The clinical significance of these changes remains unknown.The Big QuestionDoes exercise-enhanced PRP actually improve patient outcomes?This study demonstrates changes in laboratory measurements, but it does not tell us whether patients: Heal faster  Experience less pain  Return to sport sooner  Demonstrate better tendon or cartilage healing Future studies are needed to determine: Optimal exercise type  Ideal exercise intensity  Timing before blood draw  Which conditions benefit most Dr. Logan's Clinical PerspectiveAt the Joint Preservation Center, this study has prompted discussions about incorporating pre-injection exercise into PRP protocols. A simple 20-minute cycling session before blood collection may represent a practical strategy to optimize a patient's own biology before treatment.While additional evidence is needed, this concept aligns with the broader goal of maximizing the effectiveness of biologic therapies through thoughtful patient preparation.Take-Home Points Exercise before PRP collection significantly increases platelet concentrations.  Short bouts of exercise may mobilize progenitor cells.  Patient physiology may influence PRP composition.  Exercise represents a low-cost, non-pharmacologic optimization strategy.  More research is needed to determine whether these laboratory changes improve clinical outcomes. Resources Mentioned Episode #161: Platelet concentration and outcomes following PRP for lateral epicondylitis  Recent Sports Docs episode with Dr. Arianna Gianakos discussing PRP for plantar fasciitis

Diego Ruiz (born 1980, Colombia) a.k.a DFRA is a DJ and music producer based in Buenos Aires Argentina. During the years 2015-2021 he studied Music and Composition at the UCA (Universidad Católica Argentina), with a focus on classical and modern compositional genres and from an early age he acquired a taste for Hip Hop of the 80's and 90's, gospel music, Soul, R&B and Disco. He currently fuses Jazz, Soul, Neo Soul and Funk with House music and is characterized by a strong influence of House and Detroit sounds of the 1990s and 2000s. In his productions two facets are reflected, on the one hand the musicality of Jazz and Soul, fused with electronic elements and on the other hand some sounds more focused on the characteristic chords of Detroit and Chicago, more aggressive bass lines and 100% electronic percussion. During his career he has had the possibility of playing in several cities in Colombia, Argentina, Germany, France and Spain. He has released music on labels such as Groovin (IT), Hudd Traxx (UK), Mate (ES) among others. Today he is the owner of Silver Walker, a label whose music is inspired by all his musical roots and where he embodies the beautiful fusion of Jazz with electronic music. The project he is currently developing is DFRA Experience Jazz Band, where he works with Jazz musicians from the Argentine scene. He has a new release on Berlin-based label Ascension on Wax, and continues its deep, jazz-inflected trajectory with A Quiet Storm EP, arriving June on 12” vinyl and digital formats (Cat No: AOW005). Available to buy and pre-order from May 15, the EP showcases DFRA's refined blend of soul, jazz, and classic house sensibilities, enriched further by a remix from Detroit's Jon Dixon. @diegoruizalvarez

Your paintings might not be boring because you lack skill. They might be boring because you're overworking them.  In this episode, Jodie dives into a totally different way of thinking about composition. This isn't another lesson about the rule of thirds or focal points. This is about what happens when artists become so focused on balance, beauty, and "doing it right" that they accidentally suck the life out of their work.  You'll learn why: Over-resolving your paintings can make them less memorable Tension and imbalance often create stronger compositions The weird, risky decisions are usually the magic This episode is packed with practical questions you can ask yourself while painting so you can stop making safe art and start making Honest Art® that actually says something.  Make sure to subscribe to this podcast so you don't miss a thing!

Why is it so hard to stay consistent with nutrition and fitness, even when you know what to do? What if the answer is not more discipline, but better systems?Thoryn Stephens joins me to talk about why adherence is the real bottleneck in behavior change. We cover how to build simple health protocols around nutrition, exercise, sleep, stress, connection, and metabolic health without getting buried in data or overwhelmed by tracking.You'll learn why friction matters, how wearables like Oura and Garmin can help when used correctly, and why recovery, HRV, resting heart rate, and even unitasking can support better performance. We also discuss longevity, dementia prevention, brain training, and how small daily actions can influence long-term health.Download the Fitness Lab app - Lose fat and build muscle evidence-based AI-powered fitness and nutrition over 40.

Can broccoli make you fat? Or cause inflammation?

Misha Glenny and his guests discuss the most famous oratorio of George Frideric Handel (1685-1759) and his librettist Charles Jennens (1700-1773). For his libretto, Jennens drew from Old and New Testament texts: prophecies about the coming of Jesus, the Messiah, the nativity, the suffering of Christ and his death and the Day of Judgement and redemption for all. Handel's Messiah had its premiere in 1742 in a secular Dublin music hall to great acclaim with a packed audience and Handel continued to adapt his Messiah for later performances, often shaping the work to the choirs or individual singers available. Messiah proved to be one of his most popular works, becoming a favourite of massed choirs around the world far beyond the scale of Handel's original.With Donald Burrows Emeritus Professor of Music at the Open UniversityRuth Smith Trustee and Council Member of the Handel InstituteAndLarry Zazzo Countertenor, and Senior Lecturer in Music at Newcastle UniversityProducer: Simon TillotsonReading list:Donald Burrows, Messiah (full score, 2 vols, Hallische Händel Ausgabe, forthcoming)Donald Burrows, Messiah (Edition Peters, 1987)Donald Burrows, Messiah, Cambridge Music Handbooks (Cambridge University Press, 1991)Donald Burrows, Handel: Master Musicians series, 2nd edition (Oxford University Press, 2012)George Frideric Handel (ed.

In today's episode of Next Level University, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros unpack a hidden risk of personal growth: when self-belief becomes so strong that it starts to lose empathy. Kevin speaks from the memory of doubt, low belief, and rock bottom, while Alan brings the perspective of coaching, leadership, and high internal certainty.This episode challenges the way people talk about responsibility, confidence, anxiety, and skill-building when they forget what struggle feels like. It is not about lowering the standard. It is about leading with belief, precision, and enough self-awareness to meet people where they are without losing sight of where they could go. Press play, and make sure your confidence still has a conscience._______________________Book Alan's Business Breakthrough Session. Your first 30-minute coaching call is FREE.

The high road has a cost. In this episode, Kevin and Alan break down why self-respect is not built through intention, image, or outside success. It is built through follow-through, discipline, and the private choices that either strengthen or weaken your identity. This episode challenges the belief that small decisions do not matter. They do. Every broken promise, avoided standard, and shortcut leaves evidence. Over time, those choices shape your self-trust, confidence, relationships, leadership, and long-term consistency.If you are working to become more disciplined, more aligned, and more proud of who you are when no one is watching, this episode will make you look closer. The low road may be easier, but it rarely leads anywhere worth respecting. Listen now, then go make your future self slightly less annoyed with you. _______________________Join the "Next Level Fitness Accountability Group" – Reach out to Kevin or Alan on Instagram:Kevin: https://www.instagram.com/neverquitkid/Alan: https://www.instagram.com/alazaros88/Book Alan's Business Breakthrough Session.

Tanner shares how he built his career by treating art like any other skill in the brain—showing up daily, doing master copies, and effectively creating his own “atelier” when formal schools weren't an option. He urges artists to paint what they genuinely love instead of chasing trends or specific collectors, trusting that sincere, well-crafted work will find its audience. A big part of his advice is to start paintings over and over to strengthen composition and value design, build or initiate community (from family collectors to plein air groups), and maintain multiple income streams through galleries, direct sales, teaching, and educational content. He also emphasizes persistence—reaching out repeatedly to mentors, reinventing yourself socially when needed, and committing to be “the last one standing” in the long game of artistic mastery. Finally, Tanner closes by mentioning current and upcoming projects, including his 100 Flowers Sale, a group show at Saks Galleries, an Art Renewal Center piece showing at Sotheby's, workshops in Rome through Rome Art Residencies, and a future painting workshop along the Danube River cruise.Tanner's Sale!:tannersteedart.com/collections/228563Tanner's FASO site:tannersteedart.com/Tanner's Social Media:instagram.com/tannersteedart/Tanner's YouTube:youtube.com/@tannersteedart

What if discipline is not your real problem, and the deeper issue is that your goals are built against how you are wired?In today's episode, Kevin and Alan break down why follow-through is not one-size-fits-all. Kevin shares how a simple shift in his workout setup helped him get out of the all-or-nothing pattern. Alan explains how numbers, structure, environment, and self-awareness can create consistency when motivation is not enough.This episode challenges the generic productivity advice that tells everyone to operate the same way. Real growth starts with knowing what drives you, what drains you, and what kind of setup actually helps you take action. Stop forcing someone else's routine.

In this episode of Next Level University, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros break down why the goal is not to peak, but to keep becoming. They challenge the belief that age, past success, talent, or comfort should decide how much growth is still available to you.This episode looks at personal development, self-awareness, purpose, identity, fulfillment, limiting beliefs, and the standards required to build a future that is stronger than your past.

Are your macros and portions quietly keeping you stuck? I'm talking with Chef Mario Limaduran, culinary director at Trifecta Nutrition, who has cooked for UFC fighters, NFL athletes, Olympic-level competitors, and NCAA Division I wrestlers.You'll learn why food quality matters, but quantity still drives weight loss, muscle building, and performance.

The line between growth and damage is thinner than most people think. In today's episode, Kevin and Alan break down how to tell whether your habits, standards, feedback, and work ethic are building real progress or quietly working against you. Drawing from bodybuilding prep, coaching clients, relationship standards, and thousands of episodes in personal development, they challenge the belief that intensity is always unhealthy and comfort is always wisdom.This episode gets into discipline, self-awareness, consistency, ego, feedback, and the skill of knowing your own threshold. It is not about doing more just to prove a point. It is about choosing the right kind of pressure, the kind that strengthens your identity, supports your goals, and matches the life you say you want. Press play before your comfort zone starts sounding like a life coach._______________________Digital Asset:Dose of Stressor - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1riopxdrbRHbQcDDoku509N5Y2iidR5zC/view?usp=drive_link _______________________NLU is not just a podcast; it's a gateway to a wealth of resources designed to help you achieve your goals and dreams.

What if the thing pushing you forward is also the thing keeping you stuck?In this episode, Kevin and Alan unpack the connection between self-belief, motivation, comparison, and personal potential. They challenge the idea that every hard truth, intense standard, or motivational message works the same for every person. What builds one person may break another, and real growth starts with knowing the difference.This episode gives a sharper way to think about self-awareness, performance, identity, and long-term consistency. They explore why belief matters, why comparison must be used carefully, and why your path to the next level has to be built around what actually improves you.

In today's episode of Next Level University, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros explore why potential is not reached through motivation alone. It is developed through belief, self-awareness, identity, and the repeated decision to choose growth before the outcome is guaranteed. Drawing from their experiences in coaching, speaking, fitness, and daily personal development, they examine why people often confuse their current circumstances with their true capacity.This episode challenges the common idea that potential is fixed. It shows how standards, decisions, and long-term consistency shape what is possible over time.

Episode two of One Million Neighbors brings us to the chaotic final days of Saigon in April 1975, as ten-year-old Simon Hoa-Phan watches his world unravel. From the terror of nighttime bombings to the desperate crush of families fleeing toward evacuation helicopters, Simon's story captures the fear, uncertainty, and life-altering decisions faced by thousands as South Vietnam fell. His family's escape—narrow, chaotic, and uncertain—becomes a window into a much larger phenomenon: the mass displacement of millions across Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia, where war, political upheaval, and U.S. intervention forced entire populations to flee under harrowing conditions. At the same time, across the world in St. Paul, Minnesota, Kathleen Vellenga witnesses these events from a hospital bed and feels a call to act. Her personal turning point reflects a broader movement among American faith communities, who would go on to play a central role in resettling more than a million Southeast Asian refugees. This episode traces the historical roots of that movement—from Cold War politics and moral responsibility to deeply held religious convictions—and introduces the ordinary people who made extraordinary choices to welcome strangers as neighbors.
