Brad Kearns: Muscle, Metabolism & Why Doing More Stops Working After 40 What if the habits that once made you fitter are now keeping you stuck? In this episode of The Coach Debbie Potts Show, I sit down with Brad Kearns for a conversation about healthy aging, metabolic resilience, muscle health, recovery, and why many active adults over 40 discover that simply training harder and doing more no longer produces the results it once did. As we move through midlife, the goal isn't just to exercise more or burn more calories. We need to create the right signals that allow the body to adapt, repair, build, and become more resilient. In this episode, we discuss: Why metabolism and recovery can change in midlife Why maintaining and building muscle becomes increasingly important as we age The difference between productive training stress and chronic overload Metabolic flexibility and its role in performance and longevity Endurance training: when it builds resilience and when too much can work against you Why recovery is part of the training equation—not something separate from it How active adults can train smarter to stay strong, fit, and capable for decades to come Shifting from the "do more" mindset toward sending the right signals in the right order This episode is especially relevant for runners, cyclists, triathletes, CrossFit athletes, weekend warriors, and other high-performing adults who want to continue doing what they love as they age. Your body isn't simply responding to how hard you train. It's responding to the combination of signals it receives from training, nutrition, sleep, stress, recovery, movement, and your environment. The goal is not just fitness today. It's building the resilience you'll need for your FutureYou™.

The Challenge Cutthroat Ep 6 Recap Also available on YouTube. The Challenge Cutthroat is back as Brian Cohen teams up with guest host Mike Bloom to dig into episode 6's tangled gameplay and ever-messier house drama. With vet power waning and rookie alliances finding their footing, the players face a season where the old rules no longer apply and every relationship is up for scrutiny. Brian and Mike dive into the evolving dynamics as cross-show rookies use their pre-existing connections to shift the house power structure away from past seasons’ dominos of vet control. The discussion covers why the three-team format is keeping the veterans on their toes, the questionable impact of captaincy rules and mutiny mechanics, and a daily challenge where sheer numbers don't always guarantee victory. The focus then pivots to a breakdown of the episode's biggest personal storylines, including Anna Leigh's latest involvement in rumors and shifting alliances, and a wry look at how even the quietest showmances are subject to the house's spotlight. Highlights from their recap include: Rookies from Survivor, Big Brother, and Love Island quickly forming alliances and changing how new players approach the game. The flaws in the current season's format and captaincy structure, leaving some veterans cornered and giving others an easy ride. The fallout from “Thigh Gate,” Anna Leigh's possible missteps, and Justin's attempt to moralize, and make his mark, amid rumors swirling in the house. CT's struggle with classic “heights over water” challenges and how veteran reputations play against Father Time. Cara Maria's shifting position from dominant legend to embattled underdog, and how her performance and alliances stir debate. A Crossfit-style elimination that spotlights Deb Chubb's unique approach and the benefits of diverse personalities in the Challenge house. Rookie power is rising while the house's alliances and relationships shift, leaving veterans scrambling for new strategies. How will the remaining teams navigate a format that favors some and frustrates others, and will personal drama continue to shape the game's outcome? Stay tuned for sharp analysis, unexpected insights, and a front-row seat to reality TV's biggest strategy talk.

Developing the whole student athlete is at the center of Tara Brisson's approach at Tilton School Basketball. After 18 years at Tilton, Brisson explains why her program focuses on helping players grow as people, students, and basketball players rather than treating development as only an on-court process.Brisson breaks down how Tilton prepares players for college basketball through strength and conditioning, fundamental skill development, and a training structure designed to resemble the college game. She also explains why playing time is earned, why toughness and defense can separate D1 guards, and how transparency shapes her approach with players and families.For players and parents considering prep school, reclassing, or a post-grad year, this conversation also explores college placement, NCAA eligibility, academic support, recruiting fit, and the value of spending more time developing in the right environment. Brisson shares why choosing the best fit matters more than chasing the school that gives a player the most attention.⏰ Timestamps:00:01:33 - Tara Brisson's Basketball Background00:03:54 - Tilton School and Girls Basketball00:06:13 - Tilton's Championship Success00:07:47 - How Prep School Basketball Has Changed00:09:19 - Player Development at Tilton00:11:16 - Earning Playing Time00:12:59 - College Placement at Tilton00:15:17 - College Counseling and NCAA Eligibility00:17:02 - What It Takes to Be a D1 Guard00:19:19 - College Recruiting Mistakes00:20:45 - Reclassing vs. a Post-Grad Year00:22:29 - Post-Grad Academics at Tilton00:24:38 - Extra Training and Facility Access00:26:16 - The Caitlin Clark Effect00:27:31 - CrossFit, Coaching, and Leadership00:28:38 - Quick Hitters00:30:34 - Wrapping Up

WFP VS CROSSFIT - JOCK TALK

What if the most important training you'll ever do happens nowhere near a barbell?Annie Thorisdottir and her co-writer Christine Bald join Patrick to discuss their new book, Iceland Annie: The Evolution of a CrossFit Games Legend — five years in the making and built on a prologue Christine wrote before Annie ever agreed to write it.You'll hear why Annie believes character is trained the same way fitness is: in private, repeatedly, often without immediate reward. And you'll hear Christine on the discipline required to prepare for moments you can't anticipate. Together, they make the case that what most people see on the podium is the smallest part of what it took to get there.

This week, Brandon and Kate dive into their training for their first HYROX race — Mixed Doubles in Boston!We talk about how we approach preparing for an event and why it's important to identify and protect the big workouts that matter most each week.Right now, that means:Wednesday — HYROX race simulation work Saturday — Long runEverything else during the week has some wiggle room. We still want to train hard, lift, and stay well-rounded — but not at the expense of the sessions that are moving us toward the main goal.We also talk about fall being a common time for training to start slipping. Summer ends, schedules change, the days get shorter, and it becomes easier to miss workouts.Having an event, race, competition, or even a personal challenge on the calendar can be a great anchor for your training and give your weeks some direction.

A Note from James:In 1790, one of the easiest ways to get rich in America was the old-fashioned way: marry someone rich.George Washington did pretty well that way. Benjamin Franklin, meanwhile, was so deep in debt that he offered to marry a woman if her parents would mortgage their house to pay off his printing press debt. When they said no, he married someone else who had money.And back then, debt was not just annoying. It could land you in debtor's prison. Actual prison. And not just you—your wife and kids could go too.Fast-forward to the 1900s, and most Americans still were not buying stocks. Only a tiny percentage owned shares. Everyday people were gambling, playing the numbers, using dream-interpretation books to decide what lottery number to play, and trying to find some edge that would move them a little closer to security.My guest today, Joseph Moore, literally wrote the book on this: How to Get Rich in American History: 300 Years of Financial Advice That Worked (& Didn't).The book is full of strange, funny, surprising stories about money in America: Franklin, Washington, debtor's prison, the Great Depression, bucket shops, real estate booms, FIRE, crypto, debt, index funds, and all the scams people keep falling for.But the bigger lesson is that the basic patterns have not changed as much as we think.People want security. People want freedom. People want hope. People want a way out. And whenever there is hope, there is usually someone selling a formula.Joseph has very little patience for the usual personal finance myths. Debt does not make you rich. Opportunity makes you rich. Real estate is not always a magic wealth machine. The stock market was not designed to be everyone's retirement plan. FIRE can work, but it can also become the CrossFit of personal finance. And optimism, marriage, mobility, risk, and solving other people's problems may matter more than almost anything else.If you think the rules for getting rich have changed completely, this conversation may convince you how little human nature has changed.Episode Description:Joseph Moore joins James to talk about the long, strange history of getting rich in America.His book, How to Get Rich in American History, looks at 300 years of financial advice—what worked, what failed, what people kept repeating, and what today's money culture keeps forgetting.The conversation starts in 1790, with George Washington, Martha Washington, Benjamin Franklin, Stephen Girard, debt, leverage, and debtor's prison. Joseph explains that many early American fortunes were built through risk, borrowed money, marriage, luck, and then—critically—de-leveraging over time.That becomes one of the core lessons of the episode: debt does not make people rich. Opportunity does. Debt is only a tool that allows someone to grab more of an opportunity than they otherwise could. But if the opportunity is not real, or the person cannot handle the risk, debt destroys them.James and Joseph then move into real estate. Joseph argues that real estate is a good way to build a modest middle-class fortune, but not usually the path to the biggest fortunes. In modern America, he says, real estate often functions as a short on the dollar, an income annuity in a low-dividend world, a tax shelter, and a way for ordinary people to use leverage they could not access anywhere else. But that does not make buying a house automatically smart. Renting versus buying depends on age, mobility, location, family needs, inflation, taxes, maintenance, transaction costs, and opportunity cost.The conversation then turns to the stock market. Joseph challenges the usual historical charts that claim anyone could have invested a fixed sum in 1929 and held forever. Most Americans could not invest that way. There were no index funds, mutual funds had high fees, and buying an index directly required enormous capital. Instead, everyday people went to bucket shops, bet on price moves, played the numbers, and treated gambling as a kind of financial hope.James and Joseph also discuss passive investing, shadow indexing, the rise of ETFs and 401(k)s, and the way the stock market has become a mass retirement promise. Joseph points out that this is historically new. For most of American history, no ordinary person would have expected to retire on the stock market.From there, the episode moves to FIRE: financial independence, retire early. Joseph has lived part of that story himself. He built enough wealth through rental real estate after 2008 to stop working for a period, only to discover that early retirement was not automatically fulfilling. He compares FIRE to CrossFit: extreme, demanding, sometimes powerful, sometimes injurious, and not a lifestyle most people actually want.The final section asks the big question: What has consistently worked?Joseph boils the lessons down to five pillars: solve other people's problems, take risks, move toward opportunity, marry well, and believe you can. James adds that optimism matters because it keeps people in the game long enough to get more shots on goal.The result is a conversation about money, but also about history, risk, luck, marriage, mobility, discipline, scams, and the difference between getting rich and staying rich.What You'll Learn:Why early American wealth often involved marriage, leverage, luck, and risk.How George Washington's marriage to Martha helped fund the Washington we remember.Why Benjamin Franklin's public advice about debt did not match his own early financial behavior.What debtor's prison meant in early America, including the risk to families.Why debt is a tool, not a wealth strategy by itself.Why opportunity—not debt—is what actually makes people rich.Why real estate can build middle-class wealth but rarely creates the biggest fortunes.How buying a home can reduce mobility and opportunity, especially for younger people.Why renting versus buying is situational, not a universal rule.Why most Americans historically could not invest in the stock market the way modern charts imply.What bucket shops and “the numbers” reveal about everyday financial hope.How passive investing changed the purpose of the stock market.Why stock-market concentration is not new, but mass participation is.Why FIRE can work mathematically and still fail psychologically.How older financial-independence stories often hid trust funds, inheritances, or outside support.Why inflation is one of the biggest risks to early retirement.Why getting rich and staying rich require different behavior.Why successful people often take risk early and reduce risk later.Why optimism is financially useful when it keeps people in the game.The five recurring pillars Joseph sees across American wealth-building history.Timestamped Chapters:[05:00] How to Get Rich in 1790James asks Joseph how someone got rich in early America, starting with George Washington, Martha Washington, and marriage as a financial strategy.[07:24] Stephen Girard and Benjamin Franklin's DebtJoseph compares Stephen Girard's leveraged rise with Franklin's messy early business debts.[10:29] Debt Does Not Make You RichJoseph explains that opportunity creates wealth, while debt simply lets someone reach for more of that opportunity.[11:23] Debtor's Prison Was RealJoseph explains why failing in the 1790s could mean prison not only for the debtor, but for the debtor's family.[12:25] The Real Estate MythJoseph argues that real estate can build modest wealth, but rarely creates the biggest fortunes.[13:43] Real Estate as a Short on the DollarJoseph explains modern real estate as an inflation bet, income annuity, tax shelter, and leverage tool.[15:22] You Need an EdgeJames argues that every bet has someone on the other side, which means investors need to know what their advantage actually is.[16:18] Beating the Market, Missing the MomentJoseph tells the story of shorting Jim Cramer stock pops, beating the market net of theory, losing to fees, and missing his daughter's first steps.[19:56] Shadow Passive InvestingJames and Joseph discuss hedge funds, index tracking, fees, and the way much of Wall Street quietly follows the same big benchmarks.[20:31] The Index RevolutionJoseph explains why Vanguard's 1976 index fund changed investing for ordinary Americans—and why passive investing may create new structural risks.[24:24] The Four Percent of Stocks That MatterJames and Joseph discuss stock-market returns, T-bills, concentration, and why a small number of companies drive most gains.[25:16] The Second Bank CrashJoseph compares modern market concentration to the 1830s, when the Second Bank of the United States made up a huge share of the stock market before collapsing.[26:21] The Stock Market as a Retirement PromiseJoseph explains why turning the stock market into a mass retirement strategy is historically new.[29:58] The Problem With “The Chart”Joseph criticizes the classic financial-advisor chart that assumes someone in 1929 invested a large sum, held forever, and never touched it.[31:17] Bucket Shops and Playing the NumbersJoseph explains how everyday people used gambling, bucket shops, and lottery-like games as financial hope when stock ownership was out of reach.[34:04] The Mean Moves Through TimeJoseph explains why history is not physics and why the “average” keeps changing as the economy changes.[35:49] Renting vs. BuyingJames and Joseph debate the homeownership myth, maintenance, taxes, transaction costs, mobility, family stability, and when buying can make sense.[41:02] FIRE and the Question of EnoughJames asks how much is enough in 2026, and Joseph explains why the answer depends on location, expectations, security, and lifestyle.[44:24] FIRE as the CrossFit of Personal FinanceJoseph compares FIRE to an extreme discipline that can work for some people but injure others if they push too hard.[45:38] Geoarbitrage and Selling the DreamJames and Joseph discuss moving somewhere cheaper, Instagram FIRE influencers, and the difference between living the dream and monetizing the dream.[46:00] The Long History of Financial IndependenceJoseph traces earlier versions of FIRE through Sylvester Judd, Thoreau, Emerson, and Helen and Scott Nearing.[49:17] Inflation and the FIRE RiskJoseph explains how Your Money or Your Life and bond-heavy financial independence strategies ran into changing interest-rate realities.[50:23] Five Pillars of Getting RichJoseph lays out the durable lessons: solve problems, take risks, move more, marry well, and believe you can.[53:43] Marriage, Optimism, and Staying in the GameJames and Joseph talk about supportive partnership, optimism, savings discipline, and why staying in the game increases opportunity.[56:11] The Line Between Optimism and RecklessnessJoseph distinguishes productive optimism from gambling and explains why control over outcomes matters.[58:28] Getting Rich vs. Staying RichJoseph explains why many wealthy people take risk early, then de-lever over time to keep what they built.[01:00:00] Leverage, Trading, and the Guy Who Never StopsJames and Joseph discuss extreme leverage, Bitcoin futures, Jesse Livermore, gamblers, and why some people cannot walk away.Additional Resources:Joseph Moore - History HelpsHow to Get Rich in American History - Book PageHow to Get Rich in American

In this episode, 10-time CrossFit Games champion Thomas Miazga joins Doug Larson, Coach Travis Mash, and Dr. Mike Lane to share the extraordinary path that took him from a childhood shaped by cerebral palsy to the Paralympic Games, elite adaptive CrossFit competition, and beyond. Tom reflects on discovering freedom and athletic identity in the water, qualifying for the 2008 Beijing Paralympics just 18 months after returning to competitive swimming, and how a devastatingly close miss for the London Games eventually led him toward coaching, CrossFit, and a new definition of what was possible. The crew also digs into the practical side of training an adaptive athlete: building strength around the individual, managing high upper-body training volume, using stable equipment to create safe loading opportunities, and prioritizing training economy over unnecessary technical complexity. Tom explains how CrossFit transformed his independence in daily life, helped him become a 10-time Games champion, and continues to fuel his pursuit of HYROX, Ironman racing, and long-term health. Most importantly, this is a conversation about refusing to let a diagnosis, a scoreboard, or someone else's expectations define your potential.

Send us Fan MailWhat does it really take to build a career in professional sport?This week on Leave Your Mark, I sit down with strength and conditioning coach Jason Martin as he prepares to begin a new chapter as Head Strength and Conditioning Coach with the Toronto Maple Leafs.Jason's path began early, earning his first training certification at just 16 before completing his Physical Education degree at McGill University. His career would eventually take him through CrossFit, professional tennis, Major League Baseball, more than a decade of working with hockey players, and three seasons in player development with the Pittsburgh Penguins.But this conversation is about much more than Jason's résumé.We talk about the influence of mentorship, particularly his relationship with Andy O'Brien, and why experience can't simply be replaced by collecting certifications. Jason shares his thoughts on asking for feedback, recognizing your limitations, building genuine relationships, and allowing a career to develop without trying to engineer every next step.We also dig into one of the most important challenges of working in professional sport: earning the trust of athletes who didn't necessarily choose you to work with them.Jason's philosophy is refreshingly simple. Ask questions. Listen. Understand what the athlete needs. Be good to people. Do quality work. And give trust the time it needs to develop.A great conversation about coaching, mentorship, relationships, experience, and the long game of building a meaningful career in high performance.If you liked this EP, please take the time to rate and comment, share with a friend, and connect with us on social channels IG @Kingopain, TW @BuiltbyScott, LI+FB Scott Livingston. You can find all things LYM at www.LYMLab.com, download your free Life Lab Starter Kit today and get busy living https://lymlab.com/free-lym-lab-starter/Please take the time to visit and connect with our sponsors, they are an essential part of our success:www.ReconditioningHQ.comwww.FreePainGuide.com 

Jordana loved CrossFit. She loved the community, she was active, and she liked training hard. But her shoulders kept getting injured.When she moved from Boston to Charlotte, she knew she needed to change the way she trained. She was very right-side dominant, the fast pace and barbell-heavy training wasn't helping, and she wanted to get stronger without constantly dealing with another setback.A friend introduced her to me, and 3.5 years later, she is still training with BBM.In this episode, Jordana and I talk about what changed when she moved from CrossFit to slower, controlled strength training, why single-arm exercises were so important for correcting the imbalance between her right and left sides, and why strength- rather than weight loss or changing how she looked- was always the goal that kept her interested in training.We also talk about consistency.During the last 3.5 years, Jordana has moved, changed careers, gone from the flexibility of academia back into corporate, and had to adjust when and how she trains. Today, she works out at home before work because that is what fits her life now. The details changed. Training stayed.We talk about:•⁠ ⁠Why she decided CrossFit was no longer the right way for her to train•⁠ ⁠The recurring shoulder problems she was dealing with when she joined BBM•⁠ ⁠How single-arm and -leg training helped address years of right-side dominance•⁠ ⁠Why slower, controlled lifting made such a difference for her•⁠ ⁠How she trains consistently now that she is back in corporate•⁠ ⁠Why getting stronger has always mattered more to her than training for aesthetics•⁠ ⁠What 3.5 years of consistent strength training looks like when your work, schedule and life continue to changeIf you keep getting hurt every time you try to get stronger, or your training disappears every time your schedule changes, listen to this episode.And if you want help figuring out what kind of training would work for your body and your life, book a complimentary Coffee & Goals consultation:

The myth that aerobic conditioning steals your strength is the exact reason most experienced lifters hit an early plateau and stay chronically beat up. From running high-volume CrossFit boxes to completing a PhD in Kinesiology, Jason Brown realized that rigid, maximal-effort splits were wrecking real-world athletes who lacked the autonomic recovery to handle constant strain. By pairing full-body Conjugate rotations with targeted low-intensity conditioning, he reverse-engineered a minimum-effective-dose system that expands work capacity while protecting long-term durability. INSIDE THIS CONVERSATION Concurrent vs. Conjugate: The sports science definition versus Westside's real-world, in-the-trenches application. The Interference Effect: Why targeted aerobic work builds underlying recovery mechanisms instead of stealing strength and muscle gains. Full-Body vs. Split Routines: The three-day structural shift that improves program adherence for stressed lifters. Minimum Effective Dose: Why four to six strategically selected exercises can outperform high-volume fatigue traps. Autonomic Stress Regulation: How to leverage heart rate metrics to auto-regulate training when life caps your ability to handle additional strain. MEET THE GUEST Jason Brown is a Westside Barbell Special Strengths Coach, CSCS, author of Lower-Body Training, and Kinesiology PhD candidate. A combat veteran and former CrossFit affiliate owner who has programmed for tens of thousands of athletes worldwide, Brown specializes in refining Conjugate principles to build maximum work capacity, real-world performance, and longevity for lifelong lifters.

We're kicking off our new 21-Day Happiness Challenge — and it's probably not what you expect. Instead of focusing on what you have to be grateful for, we flip the lens: what don't you have that you're grateful to be without?That single shift — from counting blessings to counting absences — sits at the heart of this challenge. We explore how modern culture, the "affluenza virus," and the pull of speed and convenience are actively working against our happiness, and how 21 days of focused attention can start to change that.

What if the leaking, the urgency, the butt pain, and the pressure weren't just things you had to live with? Heather sits down with Mbong Henry, a pelvic floor and orthopedic physical therapist based in Durham, North Carolina, to talk about the pelvic health symptoms that athletes — runners, weightlifters, CrossFitters, gymnasts, and everyone in between — are normalizing when they really don't have to. Mbong specializes in female athletes during the perinatal and perimenopausal stages of life, but as she makes very clear in this episode: you don't have to have had a baby, or ever plan to, for your pelvic floor to need attention. They talk about what symptoms are actually worth addressing, why leakage isn't always a weakness problem, how low energy availability connects to urinary incontinence, and why establishing care with a pelvic floor PT before something goes wrong is one of the smartest things an athlete can do. Mbong also shares her own postpartum return-to-run story, her journey into Olympic weightlifting, and what she's learned about training, recovery, and capacity at 41.

What if obesity isn't simply about food? In one of the most powerful conversations I've ever had on the Optimal Metabolism podcast, I sit down with CrossFit coach, author, educator, and metabolic health advocate Athena Perez to explore the deeper roots of obesity, emotional eating, and lasting transformation. Athena's story begins long before she reached nearly 500 pounds. She shares how childhood trauma shaped her relationship with food, why lasting healing required far more than losing weight, and how addressing her emotional health became just as important as improving her physical health. We also take a fascinating deep dive into Athena's experience completing multiple 40-day fasts. She openly discusses why she chose such an extended fast, what happened to her body and mind throughout the process, how she approached refeeding afterward, and whether she believes prolonged fasting helped reset her metabolism. This episode isn't about promoting extreme fasting. It's about understanding the complex relationship between trauma, metabolism, behavior change, and healing. Whether you've struggled with weight, emotional eating, insulin resistance, or simply want to better understand the human side of obesity, I believe this conversation will stay with you long after it ends. In This Episode, We Discuss: Athena's journey from nearly 500 pounds to becoming a CrossFit coach and educator The connection between childhood trauma and lifelong struggles with obesity Why healing emotional wounds was just as important as changing nutrition habits The decision to complete a 40-day fast What happened physically, mentally, and emotionally during the fast Whether prolonged fasting can "reset" metabolism The often-overlooked importance of the refeeding process What Athena learned about true hunger versus emotional hunger Common misconceptions about obesity and larger-bodied athletes Why sustainable healing goes far beyond the number on the scale Connect with Athena Perez Website: https://www.athenamperez.com Instagram: @athenamperez Learn more about Scaled Nation Training and Athena's educational resources for coaches and healthcare professionals.
