Is fat loss really made in the kitchen (combined with strength training)?Or do we have it backward?This episode examines why building muscle must be your first priority for any successful physique transformation... even before worrying about calorie deficits or macros.You'll discover how strength training creates the metabolic foundation that makes fat loss dramatically easier, why muscle tissue acts as your body's "glucose sink" improving insulin sensitivity, and how this approach leads to better regulated hunger signals and more sustainable results than traditional dieting.Let's challenge what the fitness industry teaches about weight loss and give you a more efficient starting point for your transformation.Main Takeaways:Building muscle first creates a metabolic environment where fat loss becomes dramatically easierStrength training improves insulin sensitivity through the "glucose sink" effectThe right approach allows you to eat more food while achieving better resultsBuilding a muscular foundation changes your entire relationship with nutrition and fitnessEpisode Resources:Follow The B.Rad Podcast for more great content from Brad KearnsTimestamps:0:01 - Why the traditional approach to fat loss is backward 8:54 - Why fat loss shouldn't be your first priority 15:32 - How strength training cascades to better eating habits 19:38 - How lifting prevents metabolic disease 23:27 - How your metabolism adapts to increased food intake 31:44 - The Norwegian training revolution: eat more, train harder 39:35 - Why even the "perfect diet" is not enough without training 47:22 - Walking as essential daily movement 57:27 - How walking more improves health markers 1:03:03 - The simple approach to starting with strength trainingSupport the show

260 – Is it possible for you to bless people 100 years from now?Have you ever wondered what impact your life might have on future generations? Will people remember you 100 or 200 years from now or will your life be forgotten by the world in general?You just might have more influence on the future than you can imagine. Think of folks who lived hundreds of years ago who are a blessing to you: maybe an author or an artist, or some historical figure.And of course, think of all the people in the Bible, who lived thousands of years ago, but their lives, and the lessons they learned, are still a blessing to us today.If this can be true for them, then it can be true for you and me as well. What will your spiritual legacy be for future generations? In this week's episode I talk about.The best way to leave a spiritual legacy is to obey God's commandmentsTeach your children and those around you to love God and all mankindGod told Abraham he and his descendants would be a blessing to the whole world. If it's true for Abraham, it is true for you tooJesus knew he would be a blessing for the whole world for all time to comeAs a follower of Jesus, your life can have a similar far-reaching effectThe choices you make today in obedience to God, the way you live your life in following Christ, the humility you express in being guided by the Holy Spirit, will have a lasting influence far into the future, more than you can imagine or will ever know. Acknowledge this influence is possible. Accept it. And trust God with the spiritual legacy you're giving to future generations.

It's become a widely held belief that cancer is predominately a genetic disease. However, an empowering evolution in cancer research has shown we have far more control over our risk than previously thought. Join me as I speak with Dr. Thomas Seyfried, PhD, a trailblazer in the arena of conquering cancer. In 2012, Dr. Seyfried published his groundbreaking book, Cancer as a Metabolic Disease: On the Origin, Management & Prevention of cancer, which provided extensive information showing that cancer can be best defined as a mitochondrial metabolic disease, rather than a genetic disease. In this episode, we discuss Dr. Seyfried's approach in addressing metabolic dysfunction in order to both treat as well as prevent the development of cancer. What you'll learn from this episodeWhy cancer is not a genetic disease, and how Dr. Seyfried's research demonstrates that mutations to genes come as a downstream effectThe two sources that cancer cells use as fuel How elevated blood glucose levels can promote cancer growthHow being in a state of therapeutic ketosis can increase the efficacy of some complementary therapies, such as ozone therapy& Much more!Resources:Dr. Thomas Seyfried, PhDDr. Seyfriend | InstagramCancer as a Metabolic DiseaseSomatic Mutation v.

Too busy to [self] care? On this latest Episode of Stronger U Radio, Coach Sinan Ozyemisci and Stronger U member and Fox 5 New York Reporter Raegan Medgie sat down to discuss how to overcome the fear of being too busy – something many of us can relate to. A few years ago, Raegan's hectic schedule presented challenges with keeping up with her health goals; that's when she learned about Stronger U and Sinan through a friend. She decided to reach out to Sinan directly via Instagram, and after their initial introduction, she signed up as a Stronger U member, with him as her coach. This was the beginning of a great friendship that grew from nutrition but has flowed into other aspects of her life. During this lively conversation, you'll get a front-row seat to the benefits of working with a Stronger U Coach, even when time is limited. Sinan and Raegan candidly chat about some top tips on how to navigate a hectic schedule without throwing in the towel and how to continue to apply these tips consistently for long-term success. Raegan shares her favorite on-the-go snacks, non-negotiables, and daily habits. She admits that although they require effort, time, and preparation, she considers them part of her routine. She dishes on her favorite “treat” and why it's essential to enjoy the things you love and give yourself grace from perfection. You'll also hear about the following: How Stronger U's mission to educate our members creates a ripple effectThe incredible value of coach accountabilityHow mini-challenges can reinvigorate motivationThis episode is packed with lightheartedness, humor, and straightforward wisdom that can be applied universally. We promise that squeezing time into your schedule to give this a listen will be well worth it.

For additional notes and resources check out Douglas' website.This lesson explores Amos 3:1-15.Introduction (vv.1-2)Redemption, then mission.With privilege comes responsibility!Hearing the roar and responding accordingly (vv.3-8)Stimulus and responseAction and reactionCause and effectThe lion has roared; we must respond!The true prophet cannot ignore the voice of Yahweh any more than a sensible person can ignore the roar of a lion.Do I feel that I must speak, that I cannot keep quiet?“If I say, ‘I will not mention him or speak any more in his name, there is in my heart as it were a burning fire shut up in my bones; and I am weary with holding it in, and I cannot” (Jeremiah 20:9).“Woe to me if I do not preach the gospel” (1 Corinthians 9:16b).How about us?How's my evangelism?Am I willing to engage in earnest discussion with Christians who have drifted from the Lord and need a word from him?Am I having conversations at work? with family members? with neighbors?"To a person endowed with prophetic sight, everyone else appears blind; to a person whose ear perceives God's voice, everyone else appears deaf. No one is just; no knowing is strong enough, no trust complete enough. The prophet hates the approximate, he shuns the middle of the road. Man must live on the summit to avoid the abyss. There is nothing to hold to except God. Carried away by the challenge, the demand to straighten out man's ways, the prophet is strange, one-sided, an unbearable extremist." – Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel, The ProphetsThe boom will fall (vv.9-15)The announcement is to be made in the hearing of Ashdod and Egypt, peoples south of Samaria, who could serve as witnesses of Yahweh's righteous punishment (as they fell to Assyria at a later time). Israel would have considered themselves morally superior to Ashdod and Egypt.SamariaThe city, which was the capital of the northern kingdom, was built by Omri and Ahab his successor, rose up 300 feet, and seemed impregnable. Its fortification walls were massive.But massive fortifications offer no protection if our lives are weakened with corruption! Samaria will fall!Two houses (like Ahab's regular house in Jezreel, and winter house in Samaria [at a higher elevation], 1 Kings 21:1,18) are excessive when many have no home of their own. Opulence is inappropriate when the poor are being dispossessed (5:11).Yahweh offended not only by exploitation but also by conspicuous consumption.Amos saw that neither reform nor even revolution could bring Israel back to God. Domestic politics had no hope. Only international intervention – the exile threatened in Deuteronomy – could succeed.The imagery of v.12 is that of a lion attack. All that remains of the materialistic, idolatrous city are fragments of fine furniture.ConclusionAs hard-hitting as these words would have been—or should have been—to their original hearers, they should hit us even harder!And the prophet isn't done yet–not by a long shot!AdvancedThe Asiatic lion was found in Palestine until about 1300 AD, and is mentioned often in scripture (Judges 14:6; 1 Samuel 17:34-36; 2 Samuel 23:20, etc). God himself is compared to a lion at least 10x in the O.T.With respect to v.8, Amos could not have deviated from his commission. Recall the anonymous prophet of Judah who was rebuked by the older northern prophet (from Bethel) for violating the revealed word of God (1 Kings 13). The young prophet was killed by a lion!Archaeological excavation of Samaria revealed great storehouses in the palace complex “store up violence” (v.10)? In one storeroom, 200 ivory plaques were uncovered (see 1 Kings 22:39: "houses of ivory").In v.12 the imagery alludes to proof of attack, as in Exodus 22:10-13. Only fragments of Israel's extravagance will remain after the attack!

Consider the following:Simple is not complicatedWhat is simple does not change What changes can appear complicatedThoughts can have things seem complicatedNature is not complicated - Our universe is not complicated Lies like ego occur only in thought Thoughts are imaginedWe see what we want to see - even when we think we don't want what we seeReality is not what we think of thingsEgo is what we think up of our “self”What is Absolute does not change so more or less effort for or against it has no effectThe opposite of the Absolute is AbsoluteOur Present Awareness is Aware it is Present - we know this since this does not changeIllusions thought real are delusionalThoughts imagined true and real appear to turn thinkers into the creators of reality. Lies cause inner conflict, emotional turmoil, mental instability, physical ailments and social illsEgo is what we think of our "self" - and this self only appears real once we think our thoughts are true or even can be trueThe self we imagine is delusional, not real or true, based on "self" centered, "self" imposed fear since this self has no basis other than what we think - that is why thinking of our self and what others think of us is so popular Our greatest internal threat are thoughts not aligned with reality - that we think are realWhat greater conflict could we face than one effecting our entire body 24/7?  It's like getting a grain of sand in your eye. Something so tiny but so close makes everything hard to see and it hurts.  “Self” centered thought has thoughts thinking of them self think up a self centered in thoughtEgos greatest threat are thoughts not aligned with out of line self centered thoughts - revealing the anxiety over the doubt and “self” centered fear that make-up egoThinking we can be apart from what we are a part of is incorrectWhen the basis of our thoughts is wrong subsequent thoughts will be wrong, unsafe, and unstableInsecurity and vulnerability are aware of - or feel - dysfunctional thoughts Intuition is a no brainerWe are fully intact, intuitive; knowing Beings.  If there is any Absolute Presence it is impossible anyone or anything can be excludedIf we can act so wrong for so long we can say so long to wrong as quickly as we can insist on maintaining  it with the resistant persistence of a chronically impossible fight to make it right

What is acceptable when it comes to honesty, truth, and expression in professional settings? How much can you "be yourself" and express your values and beliefs to coworkers, leadership, and company culture at large? These are the questions I asked myself in the past 2.5 years working in corporate and for a mid-size media company until I recently quit to go off on my own.The truth is, the bar is pretty damn low for what we deem acceptable because of how much we've calibrated to the least comfortable person in the room. What we think is too much might actually be normal levels of dialogue and honesty. In this episode, Bella shares her personal journey in breaking the rules of expression in her career and raising the bar on what integrity looks like.

The 1% Effect Ken Eash QOTD:“Endurance is not only a principle, it's a mindset of commitment.”“Don't compare your start or middle to someone else's ending, or you'll never endure.”“Instant gratification is an endurance killer.”“When you experience resistance, laugh at it. Smile at it. See it for what it is—a sign you're growing.”― Tommy Baker, https://www.goodreads.com/work/quotes/60306653 (The 1% Rule: How to Fall in Love with the Process and Achieve Your Wildest Dreams) Main Topic: The 1% EffectThe 1% states that if you improve 1% every day, you'll be 38 times better at your craft by the end of the year. It's the same effect as compounding interest. 1% every day is 14m24s Think for a minute how long you spent scrolling Insta or FB this morning while drinking your coffee. How long does it take to drink your coffee? 5 minutes? 15? What are you doing in that time?  It's only 5 minutes, does it hurt to have 5 minutes of fun? Have you ever watched a movie and then dreamed about it all night? That's the effect of your subconscious at work, having been programmed by the information you ingested in the form of tv, music, podcasts, or books. Think about the possibilities of putting your mind to work during that time on things that will actually benefit you.

“For our children and grandchildren” was the dedication at the start of my next guests book, Countdown, by Dr Shanna Swan, and since reading the book I now understand why. Because a man today has only half the number of sperm his grandfather had. Essentially a 50% drop in sperm counts over the past four decades. But, as you will hear, this isn't just affecting male fertility.Dr Shanna H. Swan, Ph.D., is one of the world's leading environmental and reproductive epidemiologists. She is Professor of Environmental Medicine and Public Health at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York City where is also a member of the Transdisciplinary Center on Early Environmental Exposures and the Mindich Child Health and Development Institute.After reading a controversial paper reporting the decline in sperm quality in 1992 by Carlsen and colleagues, and being part of a group tasked with ratifying the results, Dr Swan has gone on to further study this dramatic decline in sperm count around the world.And for over twenty years, Dr. Swan and her colleagues have been studying the impact of environmental chemicals and pharmaceuticals on reproductive tract development and neurodevelopment. Her July 2017 paper “Temporal Trends in Sperm Count: a systematic review and meta-regression analysis” ranked #26 among all referenced scientific papers published in 2017 worldwide and shook the world with media outlets declaring “Who is killing our sperm”.Today's podcast is controversial and unpopular, but I can't hide away from this subject matter for fear of scare-mongering because it's one that could actually affect me personally. I'm yet to have children myself and the data is frankly scary. And if there are pragmatic decisions to make at an individual level, such as reducing exposure to plastics, petrochemicals and pesticides then I'm lucky to be in a position to actually do something about it and I'll share that with you the listener as well.Today you'll learn aboutThe 1% effectThe rise in testicular cancer, miscarriages, infertility as well as the reduction in sperm count and testosteroneEndocrine disrupting chemicals and their lack of regulationBody BurdenWhether phthalate or BPA free actually mean anything?What is the threshold for these chemicals and cumulative impact?The impact on menopause, erectile dysfunction, virility What do we need to be talking about and campaigning for Find out more about the book at thedoctorskitchen.com/podcasts, plus links to the studies and books mentioned in the show and sign up to the newsletter for a free 7 day meal plan.

There is no safe level of caffeine for a developing fetus, so women who are pregnant or considering pregnancy should abstain from coffee and other caffeine-containing products entirely, according to the author of a new review of literature.But experts not involved in the review, which published Monday in the journal BMJ, question those conclusions.There is no need for "immediate change to the current guidance" based on this research, said Dr. Christopher Zahn, vice president of practice activities for the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists."Our guidance remains that moderate caffeine consumption, less than 200 mg per day, does not appear to be a major contributing factor in miscarriage or preterm birth," Zahn told CNN in an email statement.The United Kingdom's Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists provided a similar statement."(The) advice to limit caffeine intake to 200 milligrams (mg) per day -- the equivalent to two cups of instant coffee -- still stands," stated obstetrician Dr. Daghni Rajasingam, a spokesperson for the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists."This paper does not supersede all the other evidence that has found that a limited intake of caffeine is safe for the majority of pregnant women."No cause and effectThe review looked at 37 observational studies on the link between caffeine and pregnancy outcomes and found "maternal caffeine consumption is reliably associated with miscarriage, stillbirth, low birth weight and/or small for gestational age, childhood acute leukaemia and childhood overweight and obesity."There was no association with preterm birth, however."The cumulative scientific evidence supports pregnant women and women contemplating pregnancy being advised to avoid caffeine," said study author Jack James, a professor of psychology at Reykjavik University in Iceland, in a statement.Current health guidelines on caffeine consumption during pregnancy, which typically advise pregnant women to keep caffeine consumption at 200 milligrams or less a day, are in need of "radical revision," James said.The National Coffee Association immediately countered with a comment from Dr. Alan Leviton, a professor of neurology at Harvard Medical School who has done studies on coffee sponsored by the association."The review draws conclusions from studies that rely on self-reported consumption data, which is notoriously inaccurate," Leviton said in a statement provided by the NCA.Several outside experts with no conflicts of interest who reviewed the study also weren't convinced.Because the study was only observational and could not establish cause and effect, "the harmful evidence can, in part, be accounted for by other associated factors that go with high caffeine intake, such as cigarette smoking," said Andrew Shennan, a professor of obstetrics at King's College London, in a statement."The observational nature of this data with its inherent bias does not indicate with any certainty that low doses of caffeine are harmful, and the current advice to avoid high doses of caffeine are unlikely to change," Shennan added."As the study notes, high levels of caffeine during pregnancy can lead to miscarriage and babies having a low birth weight and may lead to excess weight gain in the child's early years, which can increase risk of health problems later in life," said Rajasingam of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists."However, as other -- and potentially more reliable - research has found, pregnant women do not need to cut caffeine out entirely because these risks are extremely small, even if the recommended caffeine limits are exceeded," Rajasingam added.Prevalence of caffeineSticking to the 200 miillgrams or less of caffeine a day can be difficult unless a pregnant woman carefully monitors her caffeine intake. That limit can be easily reached -- and exceeded -- by a single cuppa at many coffee shops.For example, a 16-ounce cup of Starbucks Blo...

A few weeks ago we interviewed Michael Hanchett Hanson - author and founder and director of the Masters Concentration in Creativity and Cognition program at Columbia University around the theoretical aspects of creativity. In part two of the interview we focused on creativity in practice. Michael explains why constraints are a core component in generating creativity, and expands on the invalidity the out of the box metaphor, discusses big ideas.I use a classic quote from legendary ad man David Ogilvy to frame our discussionWe discuss how as we work creatively we not only produce work, but our point of view develops, our understanding of big questions deepens..Michael draws on references to Monet, John Coltrane, Ian Curtis, Mozart, George Bernard Shaw, Elton John and Picasso as we discuss and dissect the role of passion, empathy, hard work, research, complex systems, forward and backward loops and how creating solutions for the future often requires us to mine the creativity of the past. I hope you are stimulated by this episode of big questions on creativity with Michael Hanchett Hanson.
