Areta is a leading scholar in Exercise Metabolism and Nutrition in the School of Sport and Exercise Sciences at Liverpool John Moores University (LJMU). His research investigates how nutrition and exercise interact to influence both performance and health. He focuses on the timing and composition of macronutrients — carbohydrates, proteins, and fats — and how they affect training adaptation. José also examines the role of dietary supplements in optimizing athletic performance, as well as the endocrine and metabolic consequences of energy restriction, particularly low energy availability. He has contributed influential studies on how severe calorie deficits combined with exercise can alter muscle quality and metabolism. José's work links cellular-level changes in muscle to practical nutrition strategies for athletes facing weight-sensitive sports or energy restriction.Please note that this podcast is created strictly for educational purposes and should never be used for medical diagnosis or treatment.Follow Jose Areta's research: Study discussed, Endocrine, Metabolic, and Skeletal Muscle Proteomic Responses During Energy Deficit With Concomitant Aerobic Exercise in Humans: https://faseb.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1096/fj.202502384RRIG: https://www.instagram.com/jose_l_aretaWeb: https://profiles.ljmu.ac.uk/13460-jose-aretaResearch: https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=8tP0vzUAAAAJ&hl=enMentioned:A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis on the Association and Differences between Aerobic Threshold and Pint of Optimal Fat OxidationCreatineBeta-alanineMORE NR Save 10% on our website with code NEWPOD10 Apply to work with us, click here: https://nutritional-revolution.com/ Interested in having your biomarkers or nutrigenomics checked?

In this episode, G.K  and Dave dig into the cultural and political narratives shaping America's view of crime, accountability, and moral responsibility. They examine how modern political frameworks often redefine crime through ideological lenses — and ask whether being "soft on crime" is less about compassion and more about future political calculus. Dave explores the deeper nexus behind the hypocrisy — arguing that at its core lies a collapse of shared morality. Without a moral framework, justice becomes negotiable and truth becomes tribal. The conversation then pivots to devotion to duty — responding to G.K.'s observation that it takes real moral courage to confront dysfunction in the workplace, culture, and government. Silence may be safe — but it isn't righteous. G.K. broadens the lens globally, contrasting the trajectories of Thailand and the former Burma (now Myanmar) — illustrating how governance, freedom, and ideology shape national outcomes. The episode closes on a hopeful but sobering note: Despite its flaws, America — now 250 years into its great political experiment — remains the most benevolent nation on earth. Dave leaves listeners with a homework assignment:

Mithril CEO John Skeet warns the structural silver deficit is permanent, spotlighting a high-grade Mexico project as the epicenter of the coming supply crisis. Speaking from the VRIC conference this year, Skeet frames the intense investor turnout not as mere interest, but as a desperate hunt for viable projects in a market starved for primary silver production.He reveals the rapid advancement of the district-scale Silver Creek property, where drilling has more than doubled a high-grade resource since mid-2024, with a pivotal update due imminently. Skeet argues that while most silver is a precarious byproduct of other metals, his project in Mexico's historic Sierra Madre—a region with 100 past mines—represents a rare, pure, and high-grade solution. "It's a problem that is not going away," he states, referencing the unsustainable deficit.✅ FREE RESOURCESDownload The Private Wealth Playbook — a data-backed guide to strategically acquiring gold and silver for maximum protection, privacy, and performance.

She explores how restriction, emotional triggers, and all-or-nothing thinking fuel cycles of bingeing, quitting, and starting over — even when women are doing “everything right” on paper.This episode reframes weight loss as more than just calories and highlights the mindset shifts and emotional skills required to make weight loss sustainable without self-sabotage.This conversation is for women who want to lose weight and heal their relationship with food — without sacrificing their mental health in the process.Watch the Full Episode on YouTube.

This marked the lowest temperature recorded in February since 1923. - Iguanas dropping from tress all over the streets - Iguanas can survive temperatures down to the mid-40s Fahrenheit (around 7°C) by entering a "cold-stunned" state, where they appear dead but are just temporarily paralyzed and immobile; however, prolonged exposure to temperatures in the 30s and 40s, especially below freezing, can be lethal, particularly for smaller individuals, leading to tissue damage and organ failure. - They get sluggish below 50°F (10°C) and fall from trees as they lose grip. - The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) issued Executive Order 26-03 on Friday, allowing residents to collect and surrender cold-stunned green iguanas without a permit during an unprecedented cold weather event.

January Economic Review Employment — Job growth was nearly flat in December, with 50,000 new jobs added and earlier months revised lower. — Unemployment dipped slightly to 4.4%, but it's still higher than it was a year ago. — Long-term unemployment didn't change and remains high, and the labor force participation rate slipped to 62.4%. — Average hourly earnings rose 0.3% in December and are up 3.8% over the past year. — Weekly jobless claims stayed close to last year's levels, showing a labor market that is cooling but not weakening sharply. FOMC / Interest Rates — The Federal Reserve kept interest rates unchanged at 3.50%–3.75%. — Most policymakers agreed the economy continues to grow at a solid pace, though job gains are slowing and inflation remains above target. — Two committee members supported a small rate cut, but the majority preferred to wait. - Fed Chair Powell: Clearly, a weakening labor market calls for cutting. A stronger labor market says that rates are in a good place. It isn't anyone's base case right now that the next move will be a rate hike. - The economy has once again surprised us with its strength. Consumer spending numbers overall are good, and it looks like growth overall is on a solid footing. - Upside risks to inflation and downside risks to employment have diminished, but hard to say they are fully in balance. We think our policy is in a good place. - Overall, it's a stronger forecast since the Fed's last meeting. Haven't made any decisions about future meetings, but the economy is growing at a solid pace, the unemployment rate is broadly stable and inflation remains somewhat elevated, so we will be looking to our goal variables and letting the data light the way for us. - Most of the overrun in goods prices is from tariffs. We think tariffs are likely to move through, and be a one-time price increase. - Dissent: Miran and Waller (Miran is a admin shill and Waller wanted job as Fed Chair) GDP & Federal Budget — Economic growth remained strong in Q3 2025, with GDP rising at an annualized 4.4% driven by strong spending, higher exports, and reduced imports due to tariffs. — Investment was mixed, with business spending increasing while housing activity declined. — The federal deficit for December rose to $145 billion, though the fiscal year-to-date deficit is slightly smaller than last year. Inflation & Consumer Spending — Personal income and consumer spending rose moderately in October and November. — Inflation, measured by the PCE index, increased 0.2% in both months and roughly 2.7% year-over-year. — The Consumer Price Index rose 0.3% in December, with shelter, food, and energy all contributing. — Producer prices also increased, though 2025 producer inflation slowed compared to 2024. Housing — Existing home sales rose in December, but the number of homes for sale is still low. — Prices dipped a bit from November but remain higher than they were a year ago. — New-home sales in October were steady compared with the prior month but much higher than last year. — New-home prices fell compared to 2024, though they are still high relative to long-term norms. Manufacturing — Industrial production rose 0.4% in December and was up 2.0% for the year. — Manufacturing output increased, while mining activity declined and utility output jumped. — Durable goods orders grew sharply in November, driven by a big increase in transportation equipment, pointing to strong demand in key industries. Imports & Exports — Import and export prices rose slightly through November 2025. — The goods trade deficit widened in November because exports fell while imports increased. — For the year so far, both exports and imports are running above 2024 levels, though the overall trade deficit remains larger. Consumer Confidence — Consumer confidence fell sharply in January after improving in December. — Both views of current conditions and expectations for the future weakened, with expectations dropping well below the level that often signals recession risk. Earnings — Roughly one-third of S&P 500 companies have reported Q4 earnings, and overall results are strong. — 75% of companies have beaten EPS estimates, though this is slightly below long-term averages. Revenue beats remain solid at 65%. — Companies are reporting earnings 9.1% above estimates, which is well above the 5-and 10-year surprise averages. — The S&P 500 is on track for 11.9% year-over-year earnings growth, marking the 5th straight quarter of double-digit earnings growth. — Eight of eleven sectors are showing positive year-over-year earnings growth, led by Information Technology, Industrials, and Communication Services. — The Health Care sector shows the largest earnings declines among lagging categories. — The forward 12-month P/E ratio sits at ~22.2, elevated relative to 5-and 10-year averages, signaling continued optimism despite tariff and cost concerns. — FactSet also notes the S&P 500 is reporting a record-high net profit margin of 13.2%, the highest since 2009.
