I'm always trying to get more organized. But even if I were to succeed, would it help me in triathlon?TRANSCRIPTThere's something I've been thinking about lately, and it has to do with organization.And I know, organization isn't exactly the most exciting topic in the world.But I've been thinking about it in a slightly different way.Because I've realized that I tend to think of organization as something that happens when my life gets too messy.I've got a desk covered in papers.I've got things on my calendar that I haven't dealt with.I've got little projects that I've started but haven't finished.I've got receipts that need to be submitted, notes that I wrote down because I didn't want to forget them, things that I need to file away, things that I need to follow up on.And my first reaction is usually:"God, I really need to get organized."And I think that's true.But a few days ago, I was looking at all of this stuff and I had a slightly different thought.Maybe all of this stuff is also evidence of a life that's being lived.Because those papers didn't just magically appear on my desk.They're there because I'm doing things.I'm interested in things.I'm starting things.I'm trying things.I'm thinking about things.And that doesn't mean that I should leave my desk looking like a disaster forever.But maybe I don't have to look at the mess and immediately see evidence that I'm failing at being organized.Maybe I can look at it and see evidence of a life with some interest in it.And that got me thinking about triathlon.Because if there's one hobby that can generate an absolutely ridiculous amount of stuff, it's triathlon.Three sports.Three sets of equipment.Training plans.Nutrition.Clothing.Shoes.Bikes.Goggles.Fins.Paddles.Snorkels.Heart-rate monitors.Power meters.Bike computers.Lights.Radar.Bottles.Gels.Electrolytes.And then you've got all the little things that have to happen before you actually do the workout.And sometimes I think that's one of the reasons training can feel overwhelming.You don't just have to do the workout.You have to prepare to do the workout.Take swimming, for example.I might have a swim scheduled.And in my head, that sounds pretty simple."Okay, I'm going swimming."But then I actually think about what that involves.I've got to get my swim bag.I've got to make sure I've got my goggles.I've got my cap.I've got my towel.I've got my snorkel.Maybe I've got paddles.Maybe I've got a pull buoy.I've got to know what the workout is.Maybe I've printed it out.And if I'm putting the workout beside the pool, I might even put the damn thing in a Ziploc bag so it doesn't get soaked.And suddenly, "I'm going swimming" has become this little logistical operation.And you can look at that and think:"Jesus. This is a lot of work just to go swimming."And that's where I think organization becomes really important.Because one of the great things about being organized is that it removes friction.If I put my running shoes by the door the night before, that's one less decision I have to make in the morning.If I've already prepared my bike bottles, that's one less thing I have to think about.If my watch is charged, I don't have to discover at the last minute that it's sitting at 14 percent.If my swim bag is already packed, I don't have to go hunting around the house looking for my snorkel.And these things sound incredibly trivial.But they're not.Because motivation is a funny thing.Sometimes you have plenty of motivation.You actually want to go for the run.You actually want to ride your bike.You actually want to get in the pool.And then you encounter five little obstacles.Where are my shoes?My watch is dead.I haven't made my drink.Where's my towel?What am I supposed to do for this workout?And suddenly that little bit of motivation has been chipped away.So I think one of the great purposes of organization is not necessarily to make you more motivated.It's to protect the motivation that you already have.And I really like that idea.But I think there's another layer to this.And that's where the idea of ritual comes in.Because there's a difference between doing something because you have to do it and doing something as part of a ritual.Think about making your coffee in the morning.You could describe it as a series of chores.Fill the machine.Grind the beans.Put the coffee in.Turn it on.Clean it up.Or you could think of it as a little morning ritual.And somehow, that changes the experience.And I think the same thing can happen with training.Take preparing a bottle of carb drink.You can think:"God, I have to make this stupid drink again."Or you can think:"Okay. I'm getting ready for my ride."And you get the bottle.You put the water in.You measure out the carbs.You add the electrolytes.You shake it up.You put it in the fridge.And that's not just a chore anymore.It's part of the ride.It's the beginning of the ride.The same thing with charging your watch.The same thing with laying out your clothes.The same thing with getting your shoes ready.The same thing with packing your swim bag.The same thing with putting that workout into the Ziploc bag.You can look at every one of those things and say:"This is stuff I have to do before I can train."Or you can say:"This is how I prepare to train."And those two sentences sound almost identical.But emotionally, they're completely different.One is a burden.The other is a ritual.And I think there's something really powerful in that distinction.Because we spend so much of our time trying to get to the thing we actually want to do.We rush through the preparation.We rush through getting ready.We think the preparation is just an annoying obstacle between us and the good part.But maybe the preparation is part of the good part.Maybe there's actually some pleasure in getting ready.There's something satisfying about seeing the bike bottles lined up.There's something satisfying about getting your kit laid out.There's something satisfying about knowing that everything is ready to go.And I think that's particularly true in triathlon because there are so many little rituals.You put on the cycling shoes.You get the bottles into the cages.You turn on the trainer.You pull up the workout.You put your headphones on.You get on the bike.And there's a transition that happens.You're no longer sitting around thinking about everything else in your life.You're becoming the person who's about to train.And maybe that's part of the value of ritual.It tells your brain:"Okay. We're doing this now."And I think this also changes the way we think about all of the equipment.Because if you're not careful, all of the stuff that comes with triathlon can feel overwhelming.You start thinking:Why do I have all this stuff?Why do I have five different kinds of nutrition?Why do I have all these swim toys?Why do I need this bike computer?Why do I have a radar?Why do I have this light?Why do I have these shoes?And you can certainly take it too far.Triathlon is an excellent hobby if you want to become an obsessive consumer of tiny improvements.There's always another piece of equipment.There's always another gadget.There's always another thing that might make you three percent faster.And I'm certainly not immune to that.But I've also started thinking that some of that stuff is part of what makes the sport interesting.Take swimming.Maybe you've got a snorkel.You can use it to work on your body position.You've got paddles.You can feel what your catch is doing.You've got fins.You've got a pull buoy.And suddenly swimming isn't just:"Get in the pool and swim back and forth."There's this whole little world of things to explore.And the bike is the same.You can get interested in power.You can get interested in aerodynamics.You can get interested in tires.You can get interested in nutrition.You can get interested in bike fit.You can get interested in training.And I think that's one of the things I love about triathlon.There's always something to be curious about.And that brings me back to my messy desk.Because maybe the desk and the triathlon gear aren't actually that different.The desk is covered with evidence of all the things I'm interested in.And the garage, or the swim bag, or the training calendar, is covered with evidence of all the things I'm interested in as well.And I don't think the answer is to eliminate all of that.I think the answer is to organize it.Not because those things are bad.But because I want to be able to enjoy them.And that's an important distinction.Organization shouldn't necessarily be about simplifying your life to the point where there's nothing left in it.Maybe it's about organizing your life well enough that you can enjoy its complexity.Because triathlon is complex.And that's part of the fun.But there's a danger here, too.Because you can take this idea of preparation and ritual too far.You can become so focused on preparing that you never actually do the workout.You can spend an hour researching the perfect nutrition strategy for a 45-minute run.You can spend all day organizing your training instead of training.You can convince yourself that you need one more piece of equipment before you can really get started.And that's not what I'm talking about.The ritual is supposed to lead you into the activity.It's not supposed to replace the activity.So I think there's a balance.Prepare enough that you remove the friction.Organize enough that you don't have to make a hundred little decisions.But then actually go and do the thing.And maybe that's the real purpose of organization.It's not about having a perfect desk.It's not about having a perfect calendar.It's not about having everything checked off.It's about making room for the things you care about.And that brings me back to something I've been thinking about a lot lately.Sometimes I look at my calendar and I see all of these unfinished things.And my immediate reaction is:"There's too much here."But maybe another way to look at it is:"Look at all the things I get to be interested in."And I think the same thing can happen with triathlon.You look at your training calendar and you think:"Oh my God. I've got all these workouts."You look at your swim bag and think:"Look at all this stuff I have to carry."You look at your bike and think:"Look at all these things I have to check."You look at your nutrition and think:"I have to prepare all of this again."Or you can take a moment and think:"How cool is this?"I get to swim.I get to ride my bike.I get to run.I get to learn about my body.I get to experiment with training.I get to figure out what works.I get to prepare for a race.And all of these little rituals are part of that experience.So maybe the goal isn't to get rid of the complexity.Maybe the goal is to make the complexity manageable.And maybe the goal isn't to eliminate all of the unfinished things on my desk.Maybe it's to give those things a place to live.Because there's a difference between being overwhelmed by your life and being surrounded by evidence that you're living an interesting life.And sometimes, honestly, I think I confuse the two.So the next time I'm standing in the kitchen making a bottle of carb drink before a ride, or charging my watch, or putting my shoes beside the door, or stuffing my swim workout into a Ziploc bag...Maybe I'll try not to think:"God, I have to do all this stuff before I can train."Maybe I'll think:"This is the beginning of my training."And maybe that's a small shift.But I think sometimes the small shifts are the ones that change the way we experience our lives.Because the training isn't just the hour on the bike.It's the preparation.It's the anticipation.It's the ritual.It's the workout.It's the recovery.It's thinking about what you're going to do next time.It's all of it.And maybe that's one of the reasons I love this ridiculous sport so much.There's just so much to it.And instead of seeing all of that as one more thing to organize...Maybe I can see it as one more thing to enjoy.

Hydration can make or break a long run, but there isn't a universal formula that works for everyone. Kramer Ammons shares how he tests everything from sweat rate and hydration timing to where runners carry their water, explaining why the most efficient solution isn't always the most obvious. The conversation explores handheld bottles, hydration belts, vests, bladders, and why convenience often matters just as much as laboratory efficiency. Don and Scott add decades of racing experience, emphasizing that successful runners solve problems early instead of waiting until dehydration, stomach issues, or fatigue force them to slow down. The discussion also covers pre-hydration, electrolytes, carb drinks, aid station strategy, and how listening to your body is often more valuable than blindly following generic hydration guidelines. The biggest takeaway is that great hydration isn't about copying someone else's plan. It's about experimenting until you discover what consistently works for you.

In this episode of the Ecomm Breakthrough Podcast, host Josh Hadley explores why businesses hit growth plateaus, identifying two key factors: execution and market size. Drawing from his experience scaling an ecommerce brand to eight figures, Josh emphasizes that even skilled operators are limited by their total addressable market (TAM). He advises entrepreneurs to evaluate their market's size and growth trajectory, warning against shrinking niches like keto snacks. Josh recommends pivoting to adjacent or larger markets when growth stalls, citing Simple Modern as a success story, and encourages choosing markets with strong tailwinds to maximize business potential.Bullet Points:Mindset shift regarding stalled business growthTwo primary reasons for growth plateaus: execution and market sizeImportance of selecting the right total addressable market (TAM)Insights from scaling an ecommerce brand from zero to eight figuresImpact of market size on business growth potentialExamples of markets experiencing growth and decline (e.g., keto snacks, med spas)Need for entrepreneurs to evaluate true market size and growth rateRecommendations for pivoting to adjacent or larger marketsImportance of understanding market nuances beyond broad industry dataStrategies for leveraging existing expertise to tap into new growth opportunitiesTimestamps:00:00:00 Introduction: Two Reasons for Stalled GrowthThe host introduces the two main reasons for stalled business growth: execution and the size of the total addressable market.00:01:00 The Importance of Market SizeYour business goals must match the size of the market you're in. The total addressable market is a key predictor of success.00:03:32 Good Operators in Bad MarketsEven the best operators with great teams and processes will be limited by the size of the market they serve.00:06:19 Understanding the True Total Addressable MarketEntrepreneurs should analyze specific, fast-growing niches within a larger market, not just the overall industry data, for maximum growth potential.00:08:37 Aligning Your Goals with Your MarketChoose a market size that matches your ambitions, whether you want a $100 million brand or a smaller lifestyle business.00:10:55 A Personal Example: Recipe CardsThe host shares his experience starting in the declining recipe card market, highlighting the importance of avoiding stagnant or shrinking markets.00:12:04 What to Do If You're in a Stagnant MarketInstead of exiting, analyze your market's growth rate. If operations are solid, the market itself may be limiting your growth.00:13:17 Pivoting to Adjacent CategoriesThe host uses Simple Modern as an example of a brand that expanded into adjacent categories to continue growing after its primary market plateaued.00:15:48 Final Advice and ConclusionTo achieve ambitious growth, focus on large, fast-growing markets, as even average operators can succeed with strong market tailwinds.Links & Mentions:Med Spa Space: "00:03:32"  Creatine and Electrolytes: "00:07:26"  Gummies: "00:08:37"  Poppi Soda: "00:08:37"  Grüns: "00:08:37"  Total Addressable Market (TAM): "00:09:38"  Simple Modern: "00:13:17"  ChatGPT: "00:15:48"Transcript:Josh Hadley 00:00:00  Today, I want to dive into a massive mindset shift that I have had when it comes to stalled growth in a business. Typically, it boils down to two major reasons. Number one is going to be execution, and number two is going to be the size of the market. Today I want to unpack why your brand might not be growing to the level that you want it to be, and how I've seen that happen in my own business. Welcome to the Ecomm Breakthrough Podcast. I'm Josh Hadley. I've scaled my own ecommerce brand from 0 to 8 figures, and I'm actively building towards nine figures in sales. This podcast is where I document that journey and share the systems, the strategies, and the lessons learned in real time so that you can learn what actually matters and scale your own business. My name is Josh Hadley. First and foremost, I am a man of faith. I am a husband to a beautiful wife and the father of four children. I've been playing in the e-commerce space for over a decade, doing over $20 million in annual revenue in multi-million on sales channels such as Amazon, TikTok, Shop and Shopify.Josh Hadley 00:01:00  And last but not least, I am also the host of the number one Business strategy podcast for eCommerce entrepreneurs, and that is E-com breakthrough. Today, I want to unpack something extremely important that honestly took me way too long to discover and actually understand. And it is this sometimes the goals and passions that you have, and the size of business that you want to create does not match the size of market that you are you are currently playing in. And the example is this. Let's say you want to have a $100 million brand before you can say, yeah, I'll be able to create $100 million brand. Even the best operator may not be able to create a $100 million brand. If they pick the wrong drumroll, please mark it. At the end of the day, the total addressable market is one of the number one things that will predict the success and the future growth in your brand More than anything else, I have seen this time and time again, and the lesson comes from this as I continue to go to ecommerce events and different mastermind groups, oftentimes I've been sitting next to an operator that, honestly speaking, I'm not overly impressed with.Josh Hadley 00:02:19  They kind of seem pretty lazy, and they don't really run a very good team, and they might be fairly unethical. Yet guess what I hear? Oh yeah, I'm running this million dollar brand. And guess what? The underlying reason as to why they're running a $100 million brand is they are riding the coattails of a massive trend and a massive opportunity that is growing over 20% annually year after year. The market is growing in a massively meaningful way, and so they only need 0.5% of the market. And honestly, they don't even need to be that good of an operator because like the market's just so hungry for what it is that they are offering. Alex Ramos talks a lot about that today. Right now, which is like the med spa space is just like a massive opportunity. It is growing year over year, month over month. It is a hot space. And honestly, there's a lot of like fairly poor operators that are succeeding massively well in the med spa space just because like it is such a hot and attractive and growing market right now.Josh Hadley 00:03:32  And so the lesson is this you might be one of the best operators that is out there, meaning you're a great leader, you have a great team behind you, you have the right processes, you have the right playbook. But guess what? If you're in the wrong market, you're only going to rise to the size of market that you can actually conquer and however big that market is. So let's take this as an example. Let's say there's a particular market for we'll talk about a specific supplement. Right now let's talk about, like, the Cato market. Okay. So in the Cato market, or let's call it the snack market, not necessarily supplements. Okay. Cato was on a tear, you know, five years ago or so. But Cato as a whole is actually seeing declines year over year now. So now is not...

878. Eight glasses a day. An ounce per pound. A pinch of salt in your water. Everyone has a hydration rule, and most of them came from somewhere other than the research. This live episode was recorded in front of an audience at the Friends of the National Arboretum in Washington, DC (@fonarboretum), with an outdoor yoga session led by Bikram Yoga Works (@bikramyogaworks). Thank you to both for making the night possible.Monica Reinagel, MS, LDN, answers listener questions about hydration and explains what the research actually supports. She breaks down the four phases of hydration, which are intake, absorption, retention, and distribution, and explains why sodium and glucose work together to pull fluid out of your digestive system and into your tissues faster than water alone. That mechanism is exactly what an electrolyte drink mix like Liquid I.V. is built around, which is why it can be such a useful tool when you are sweating hard, training, traveling, or just trying to keep up on a hot day.Monica also covers how much water you really need each day, how much of it you already get from food and other beverages, and how much fluid and sodium you lose through sweat.Plus, she takes listener questions on whether sugar free electrolyte drinks work as well as the sugared kind, how to think about sodium guidelines when you are sweating heavily, whether it is possible to drink too much water, whether a pinch of salt or a squeeze of lemon does anything, whether coffee and tea count toward your daily fluids, what apple cider vinegar in your morning water actually does, and whether reverse osmosis water needs minerals added back in.Topics include hydration, electrolytes, sodium, healthy habits, nutrition myths, viral nutrition claims, sports drinks, caffeine, and evidence based nutrition.The science of hydration, presented by Liquid I.V. @liquidiv #paidpartnerUse the code 2026ND on liquidiv.com for 20% off your first order.Special thanks to Friends of the National Arboretum and Bikram Yoga Works.

Send us Fan MailIn episode #196 Pete Kostelnick joins Kyla to break down one of the most demanding races in the sport, Badwater 135, and the practical fueling, hydration, and heat acclimation strategies that help him handle it. He also shares how his approach has evolved over years of ultra running, from protein during races to a more race-specific nutrition plan.In this interview: Pete shares what Badwater is really like, how he trains for the heat, what he eats and drinks per hour, and how he recovers after going 135-plus miles through Death Valley.KEY TAKEAWAYSPete recaps his tenth Badwater start and eighth finish, and explains why 2026 was one of the most competitive editions yet.Badwater starts at Badwater Basin in Death Valley, about 300 feet below sea level, and climbs toward Mount Whitney Portal for 135 miles of brutal heat and pavement.He explains his heat training approach, intentionally adding heat stress during trainingHe breaks down his hydration targets, including electrolyte intakePete maps out nutrition in 30-minute blocks, and explains strategies for real food vs sports nutrition products, as well as caffeine intakePete and Kyla talk about recovery, both physically and nutritionallyPlease note that this podcast is created strictly for educational purposes and should never be used for medical diagnosis or treatment.ABOUT PETE KOSTELNICK:Pete Kostelnick is a record-setting ultrarunner and one of the world's premier endurance athletes. In 2016, he broke the 36-year-old U.S. transcontinental running record by covering 3,067 miles from San Francisco to New York City in 42 days, averaging more than 72 miles per day. In 2018, he became the first person to complete a self-supported run from Alaska to Florida, traveling 5,384 miles while pushing all of his food and gear in a stroller.Pete is a two-time Badwater 135 champion (2015 and 2016), setting a course record in 2016, and returned in 2025 to finish third overall less than two years after surviving a near-fatal car crash. This year in 2026 he scored another top 10 finish at Badwater, also known as the world's toughest footrace. He has represented Team USA at the IAU 24-Hour World Championships and owns personal bests of 13:57 for 100 miles and 163.68 miles in 24 hours. FOLLOW PETE:Instagram: www.instagram.com/petekostelnickStrava: https://www.strava.com/pros/16102568FREE RESOURCESRecovery Protocol Download: https://mailchi.mp/nutritional-revolution.com/recovery-protocolFree Guide: Managing Heat and Hydration: https://mailchi.mp/nutritional-revolution/overheating-and-hydrationMENTIONEDLMNT: https://amzn.to/4qxGGLoHoney Stinger Waffles: https://amzn.to/4wRgBbQPrecision Gels: https://amzn.to/4y3ALAoPrecision Chews: https://amzn.to/4y5u1C9Tailwind High Carb Drink Mix: https://amzn.to/4xZZkxRJelly beans: https://amzn.to/4wQkYnASIS Caffeine Gel: https://amzn.to/4wLt2FSSIS Regular Gel: https://amzn.to/4gtA6ARDesert Solstice 24hr Invitational: https://www.aravaiparunning.com/desert-solstice/CIM: https://www.instagram.com/runcim262/?hl=enTIMESTAMPS(00:00) Two truths and a lie with Pete Kostelnick(02:19) A tenth Badwater start and what made this year fast(03:10) What Badwater is and why it is so extreme(05:01) Racing in Death Valley heat and on paved roads(06:42) Heat training with long runs in the sun(08:33) Adding layers to simulate more heat stress(09:07) Hydration strategy and sweat-driven fluid needs(10:14) Electrolytes per hour and avoiding stomach blowups(12:12) Why this year's field was so competitive(13:31) Smarter pacing, better shoes, and better nutrition(14:39) Crew support, aid frequency, and the Badwater logistics(16:11) How his crew keeps fueling seamless every 15 minutes(17:26) Building a 30-minute nutrition schedule for 24 hours(18:23) Why he shifted away from more solid food(20:03) The exact products Pete rotates during Badwater(21:00) Managing a very high caffeine intake(22:21) What caffeine does and why it is hard to study in ultras(23:53) Feeling strong early, then overheating late(25:12) Why the sun shirt may have been a mistake(26:22) Comparing past singlets and thinner long sleeves(27:31) Gear design, breathability, and evaporative cooling(28:13) Estimating calorie burn versus intake(29:46) Post-race hunger and what recovery demand feels like(30:36) Carb loading, tapering, and race morning breakfast(32:46) Napping on race day before a 10 PM start(33:48) Finish-line appetite and craving savory food(35:17) How he gauges recovery after Badwater(37:41) Recovery boots, protein, and simple post-race nutrition(39:39) Advice for first-time 100 milers(40:35) Rethinking protein during long races(42:29) The lie reveal and Pete's mileage goals(43:52) Upcoming goals: Desert Solstice and shorter PR attempts(45:00) Where to find Pete online and his coaching updateMORE NRApply to work with Kyla → https://p.bttr.to/3ZrwzcFUse code NEWPOD10 for 10% off our meal plans → https://nutritional-revolution.com/products/CONNECT Instagram → www.instagram.com/nutritionalrevolutionSponsorship inquiries → kyla.c@nutritional-revolution.comInterested in having your biomarkers or nutrigenomics checked?

On this episode of the Beyond the Barn podcast, host Katy Starr chats with equine nutritionist Dr. Kelly Vineyard to count down the four most common mistakes horse owners make with salt and electrolytes, including: A common electrolyte label-reading mistake that could have you paying for the wrong ingredient The overlooked reason some horses may not drink as much water as you'd expect A simple daily feeding habit that can help support hydration throughout the year If you've ever wondered whether your horse is getting enough salt, how to choose an electrolyte supplement, or whether a salt block is really enough, you won't want to miss this episode.

Mikael and Jack Hutchens each bring up four things they do in their coaching practice that the research does not support, or does not support in the form they use it. What the evidence says, what they do instead, and the reasoning they would defend it with. HIGHLIGHTS AND KEY TOPICS: Tapering: Mikael prescribes 7 to 10 day tapers where the literature converges on two to three weeks, with a smaller volume cut than the meta-analyses land on. Why he thinks the study populations do not transfer. Torque training: Jack keeps low cadence work in every program despite a review finding no strong evidence it improves performance. His specificity case, and Mikael's rationale from the cadence drop late in an Ironman bike. Electrolytes: why Mikael prescribes them liberally while accepting the evidence is thin, the one athlete variable no study has controlled for, and the profile that really does not need them. Grey zone intervals: polarised training wins the short intervention studies, so why does Jack lean on the zone in between? The time horizon argument, and Mikael's three week VO2max block that stopped working after two. Heat training: ten sessions over two weeks for acclimation, five weeks of five for haemoglobin mass, against Mikael's minimal effective dose. Jack's pushback: does half a protocol buy half the adaptation? Strength training: where it sits in Jack's list of levers when time is fixed, who he does prioritise it for, and Mikael's rules on frequency, session length and the weekly hours threshold to bother at all. Sprint interval training: the protocol with a decent evidence base that Mikael almost never prescribes, what goes in that slot instead, and the cycling study published five days before recording that he never expected to see. Psychology: why Jack spends more coaching time on self-talk, goal setting and confidence than the evidence warrants, and Mikael's theory for why it looks so weak in group studies.

In today's VETgirl online veterinary continuing education podcast, we focus on an often forgotten, but still vital, electrolyte in the management of congestive heart failure (CHF): chloride.  Sodium and potassium tend to steal the electrolyte spotlight, while chloride is over there quietly waiting for someone to notice. But perhaps that is about to change…To help us better appreciate the importance of chloride's role in our felines with congestive heart failure, we will be reviewing a 2025 article by Lavigne et al. entitled, “Hypochloremia is negatively associated with outcomes in cats with stable congestive heart failure.”

The difference between being healthy or not healthy mostly comes down to the simple things within your control like eating nutrient-rich foods, incorporating movement into your daily routine and following a stable sleep schedule.Like Paul, BIOptimizers co-founders, Matt Gallant and Wade Lightheart, constantly test, test and test their bodies, beliefs and products to ensure those simple things are always protecting and enhancing better health.Building on that theme of experimenting, Matt talks about the 80,000+ experiments he's done on BIOptimizers products over the years and Wade shares his bucket theory of nutrition that will make your health more bulletproof this week on Spirit Gym.Besides the many great BIOptimizers products Wade and Matt have developed, you'll want to check out the BIOptimizers Nutrition Coach Program.

The first 14 days of a chick's life can shape far more than its early growth. Nutrition, brooder conditions, access to feed and water, lighting, temperature, grit, and opportunities for natural behavior can all influence how those chicks develop.In this episode of Poultry Keepers 360, Rip Stalvey, Carey Blackmon, and poultry nutritionist Jeff Mattocks take a practical look at what chicks need during this critical early period—and why getting the basics right from the beginning matters so much.The conversation covers choosing and evaluating chick feed, the importance of amino acids and early nutrition, when and how to introduce grit, brooder setup, access to feed and water, encouraging natural chick behavior, lighting and overstimulation, temperature management, common brooding mistakes, and questions from poultry keepers about their own chicks.You'll also hear an important discussion about what is happening inside the chick during those first days of life and why some developmental opportunities can't simply be recovered later.Whether you're preparing for your first hatch or have raised chicks for years, this episode offers practical ideas for taking a closer look at how you start your birds—and how those early decisions can affect the flock they eventually become.Better decisions begin with better observations.If you enjoy thoughtful, experience-based poultry information like this, that's what this channel is all about.Follow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/354973752688125Timestamps and Chapters 0:00 Welcome & Why the First 14 Days Matter2:34 Choosing the Right Feed for Baby Chicks5:28 What to Look for on a Chick Feed Tag6:38 Dairy Products and Young Chicks11:19 When Should Chicks Start Getting Grit?17:25 Early Development: Why There Are No Do-Overs20:22 Making Feed and Water Easy to Find21:19 Encouraging Natural Chick Behaviors24:00 Nutrition and Feather Development28:50 How Soon Should Newly Hatched Chicks Eat?34:14 Community Questions & Poultry Keeper Experiences39:22 Brooder Floors, Bedding & Early Feeding43:24 Lighting, Stress & Friendly Chicks46:03 Using Treats Without Replacing Good Nutrition50:47 Wing Banding & Brooder Questions56:07 Common Brooding Mistakes to Avoid56:47 When Chicks Begin Regulating Body Temperature58:09 Mixing Ages & Raising Chicks with Poults1:00:33 Water and Electrolytes for Chicks1:06:25 Choosing a Safe Heat Source1:08:08 Closing ThoughtsJoin our Facebook Groups:Poultry Keepers 360 - -  https://www.facebook.com/groups/354973752688125Poultry Breeders Nutrition - https://www.facebook.com/groups/4908798409211973

Paul's back — overwhelmed, in Philadelphia, and dealing with Charlie the eight-month-old black golden retriever who has somehow managed to poop both on the couch and out of his crate onto the floor in the same week. Meanwhile I'm freshly returned from a stretch of travel — East Coast, bachelor party, four-ish weeks in Vancouver — carrying a little anxiety and a long to-do list I've made peace with probably never finishing. We got real about that feeling of losing the fire you had when you first started your business, and whether that's a red flag or just what sustainable looks like after you've been doing this long enough. Paul also dropped that he's doing EMDR therapy, had a full panic attack in his first session when the electrode buzzed his surgically repaired shoulder, and somehow still booked the follow-up. Wild.Then we got into the actual reason Paul wanted to do this episode: he's tired of answering questions about electrolytes. Not because it's a bad question — but because most people asking it genuinely do not need them. The marketing from brands like LMNT, Liquid IV, and basically every podcast sponsor on the internet has convinced everyday gym-goers and dog walkers that they're chronically electrolyte-deficient. They're not. Paul is our head of R&D here at These Little Moments, and he came with the research to back it up.We break down what electrolytes actually are — sodium, potassium, magnesium, chloride, calcium — and what they do in the body. The key one for hydration is sodium, because where sodium goes, water flows. And the people who actually need to supplement with it are endurance athletes, heavy sweaters, people who are sick and losing fluids fast, those on strict keto, folks with certain medical conditions like POTS, and some older adults at risk of dehydration. If you're going to the gym for an hour or walking your dog, you don't need to slam 1000mg of sodium. You probably just need more water.We also talk about the GI side effects of stevia in a lot of electrolyte powders, how to actually tell if you're a salty sweater (lick test, or look for the white salt line on your hat — Paul's running caps are apparently evidence), why Gatorade actually gets unfairly roasted, the proper dosing window for endurance athletes, and — in true These Little Moments fashion — whether squishing a cockroach releases its eggs. Science was done. Verdict reached. You're welcome.⭐ Please leave a 5-star review wherever you listen to this podcast

Send a text to Melissa and she'll answer it on the next episode. Summer sneaks up with more than sun-kissed skin—sometimes it brings pounding headaches, nausea, and a wave of fatigue that won't quit. We unpack the real difference between sunburn and heat exhaustion, explain why they don't always arrive together, and share a clear plan to recognize danger early and respond with confidence. Along the way, we trade personal stories—including a sudden heat crash at a theme park—and translate those moments into practical steps you can use anywhere: shade, smart hydration, and the right remedies at the right time.We break down sunburn care first, from recognizing bright-red, throbbing skin to managing blistering pain. You'll learn when Belladonna, Cantharis, Apis, Urtica urens, and Calendula fit, and how sensations like burning, stinging, and throbbing guide your choice. Then we move into whole-body heat stress: spotting dizziness, weakness, confusion, and cramps before they escalate. Gelsemium, Glonoinum, Natrum carbonicum, Veratrum album, and Carbo vegetabilis each play a role depending on the pattern—whether it's a heat-induced headache, chronic sun intolerance, collapse with cold sweat, or that depleted “reviver” moment when breath feels shallow and energy is gone.We also talk prevention that actually works. Electrolytes matter more than most people think—sodium, potassium, and magnesium help your body cool itself efficiently. We share what to look for in mixes, why small sips beat chugging plain water, and how diet choices and gentle morning sun can improve tolerance over time. Practical tools like cooling towels, pacing activity, and stepping out at the first hint of pinkness keep days at the beach, ball games, or theme parks safe and fun.Listen now to build a lightweight summer plan you can trust: know the signs, match the remedy, and cool the body without panic. If this helped, follow the show, share it with a friend who lives outdoors in summer, and leave a quick review—what's the first sign you notice when heat starts to win?You may also gain Access to my Fullscript dispensary and save 30% by going to: https://us.fullscript.com/welcome/mcrenshaw FIND ME!

We've had two heatwaves already this summer with warnings that even young and healthy people should rethink their fitness routines in the heat. So how can we keep exercising when it's so hot you barely want to move? James chats with physiologist Damian Bailey from the University of South Wales. Next, James is at Rother Valley Country Park in Sheffield to meet Calli Hauger-Thackery who made headlines for running the Boston marathon while 22 weeks pregnant and physiotherapist Ros Cooke to find out what changes in the body during pregnancy - and see what exercise is safe. So we've worked up a sweat… but what's the best way to recover?We're in the lab at the University of Westminster to put electrolytes to the test with Dr Lewis Mattin and we cool off with Ros Cooke while chatting about active recovery versus total rest.Presenter: James Gallagher Special appearance: Hannah Fisher Producer: Gerry Holt Editor: Ilan Goodman Production coordinator: Stu Laws

In today's episode, we're discussing three topics that have been flooding our client conversations lately: the truth about electrolyte supplements, why higher-calorie foods deserve a place in a healthy diet, and what progressive overload actually means if your goal is building muscle.We separate hydration facts from marketing hype, breaking down when electrolyte supplements might actually be useful, and chat about overcoming the fear of calorie-dense foods, and how constantly chasing the lowest-calorie option can sometimes work against your goals. We also unpack one of the most misunderstood concepts in strength training: progressive overload. We explain why it's about creating more stimulus, not simply lifting heavier every workout, and how adapting your training to your energy levels is often the smartest way to stay consistent."It's more than just what we want the scale to do—it's how we want our body to operate."- Amy Rudolph"You cannot think your way into a new way of acting. You have to act your way into a new way of thinking."- Iris DeadliftsThis week on Capable and Worthy: Fitness, Nutrition and Mindset for People Who Don't Want Life to Suck:Why most people don't actually need electrolyte supplementsThe difference between dehydration that needs water versus electrolytesHow electrolyte marketing has convinced healthy people they need more than they doWhy healthy fats and higher-calorie foods belong in a balanced dietHow fear of calorie-dense foods can lead to under-fueling and stalled progressWhat progressive overload really means (and why it isn't just lifting heavier)How to adjust your workouts without sacrificing strength and muscle growth Connect with Us:Iris Deadlifts on InstagramAmy Rudolph on InstagramWork with us at Beth Feraco FitnessThanks for tuning in to this week's episode of Capable and Worthy: Fitness, Nutrition, and Mindset for People Who Don't Want Life to Suck, where we challenge the common understanding of what it means and what it takes to be fit and healthy!

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend!   I'm looking forward to sharing with you some of our community's questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Emily: Hi Dr Cabral, thank you for the work you do sharing reputable information with the masses. I'm 39 years old, 10kg over ideal BMI weight, and am a beginner runner. I am running at a slower pace (7-8 mins per km), but my heart rate gets up to a max HR of 180 after maybe 5 minutes then stays there until I walk. I have a Garmin smartwatch so know this is in the 'maximum' HR area. My question is: Is that ok? Is it only because we have monitors these days that we worry about generic metrics? I also know the smartwatch algorithms are based on men, so do I need to worry - or not run at all? I feel well when I run and after, but have a family history of heart disease so don't want to do any damage. Appreciate you! Emily from Australia      Jenny: Hi Dr Cabral - there seems to be a lot of promotion and recommendations lately for daily electrolytes. You mentioned recently who should/should not take them. What about brands? What should we look for and how often can they be taken? Of course the best option is the natural one you recommend - water with sea salt with lemon or lime. But what about brands to buy for when we're on the go? Thank you so much!       Gina: Hi Dr. Cabral, Thank you for everything you do and I'm so grateful to be a part of our IHP community! I had a question for you regarding pets and parasites. I know we can get parasites from our pets and our sheepadoodle sleeps in bed with us like a person. Is there a protocol that you recommend or use for pets to eliminate parasites? I know they sell various options at the pet store but would like to use a brand or method that you trust. I also wanted to ask if you use anything to remineralize your pets' water. Our dogs drink reverse osmosis but didn't know if I should add anything else to their water. Thank you, Gina     Gina: Hi Dr. Cabral, Me again with one last question for you. A few years ago, I had a significant autoimmune flare and had positive Lupus markers when my PCP ran bloodwork (ANA and dsDNA). I worked through the functional labs, protocols, made lifestyle changes, and the next time she ran bloodwork, I was symptom free and both markers were negative. I've been symptom-free since then and these markers have remained negative for two years. Recently, both markers came back positive, but the thing is that I feel great. Should I be worried about tissue damage if ANA is positive? I feel grateful that I know what to do this time around, but would appreciate any advice. We also found mold in our house, so working on mold detox and remediation. Thank you so much for everything you do, Gina      Lily: Hi Dr. Cabral, I was wondering, what is the best source for chick peas? Should we stay away from canned chicked peas? Also, is it ok to cook them? Thank you    Thank you for tuning into this weekend's Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right!   - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/3824 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral's Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

Dumping Gatorade on a coach's head started as an act of revenge in 1984 and somehow became a $22-a-box industry of electrolyte powders you may not even need. In this episode, we're heading to mini medical school to break down what electrolytes actually do, how your kidneys and brain quietly keep them in balance without you lifting a finger, and why that balance can fall apart with sweat, fever, vomiting, or diarrhea. We'll talk about: What's really in your CMP lab panel (and why it matters) The unsung heroes: sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, chloride, and bicarbonate Why some people are salty sweaters (literally) and others aren't The truth about Liquid IV, Pedialyte, Nuun, and med spa IV drips - what's worth it and what's just marketing A golf-course cramping story that taught me this lesson the hard way If you've ever stood in the supplement aisle wondering whether you actually need electrolytes or just need water, this episode is for you. Healthy balance looks great on you so tune in to find out where you land.

Today's episode of the PSMF series is a special conversation from the archives with bestselling author and nutrition expert Maria Emmerich. We explore how a protein-sparing modified fast can be used strategically to accelerate fat loss while prioritizing protein and protecting precious lean muscle. Maria explains the important difference between losing weight and losing body fat—and why simply adding more dietary fat may work against your goals when fat loss is the priority. We discuss how PSMF differs from traditional keto, fat fasts, egg fasts, intermittent fasting and extended fasting, as well as why protein should remain at the center of a body-recomposition plan.

Maria also shares practical strategies for overcoming sugar cravings, creating a supportive food environment and making satisfying high-protein meals easier. We talk about common obstacles such as relying on packaged "keto" foods, drinking high-fat coffees, overeating dairy and nuts, underestimating dietary fat and trying to obtain an entire day's protein in one meal. In this episode, we cover: What a protein-sparing modified fast is and how it differs from traditional keto The difference between weight loss and true fat loss How lowering dietary fat can encourage the body to draw upon stored body fat Why adequate protein is essential for preserving lean mass PSMF versus fat fasts, egg fasts and extended fasting Why prolonged fasting may not be ideal when muscle preservation is the goal Whether PSMF is appropriate for highly active people and endurance athletes Why higher ketones do not necessarily mean greater body-fat loss The problem with adding unlimited butter, cream, oils and fat bombs Why bulletproof-style coffee may quietly stall fat-loss progress The challenges of obtaining sufficient protein with one meal a day Intermittent fasting, meal frequency and protein distribution Hunger versus "hangry" blood-sugar swings How sleep can influence hunger and sugar cravings The role of movement, strength and an active lifestyle in body composition Electrolytes and hydration when lowering carbohydrates Foods that may be easy to overconsume, including dairy and nuts Preparing high-protein foods in advance to make consistency easier Maria's favorite PSMF-friendly recipes, including protein-sparing bread How to build an approach that supports your goals, preferences and lifestyle This conversation is full of practical insights for anyone interested in using PSMF as a targeted fat-loss tool—or simply learning how to place protein at the center of a smarter body-recomposition strategy.

Electrolytes are one of the most talked-about topics in summer horse care, but do you know what they actually do? In this episode of Horse HealthCast, we break down the role electrolytes play in hydration, recovery, and performance for every horse (not just performance horses). Learn how horses lose electrolytes through sweat, how supplementation differs from providing salt alone, and how to build a smart hydration plan for training, travel, and competition season.Links to products mentioned: Mineral Blocks: Redmond Rock Salt BlockHimalayan Salt LicksElectrolytes:SmartLytes® PelletsSmartLytes® PowderLegUp® Electrolyte Apple-A-Day™ Summer Games® Electrolyte Hydration: Gallagher's Water™ Hydration Hay AgSilver Clean Bucket

In this eye-opening episode, Dr. Scott Watier and Tommy Welling unpack the cortisol-dopamine-insulin loop — the hidden neurochemical cycle that drives cravings, emotional eating, and the "one bad decision snowball" that so many fasters experience. They explain why this isn't a willpower problem but a hormonal and behavioral feedback loop rooted in stress, sleep deprivation, and the brain's hardwired search for quick energy and dopamine reward. The hosts walk through each stage of the loop and share practical pattern interrupts — from breathwork and environment changes to proper mineral and electrolyte support — that can break the cycle before it restarts. A key insight from the episode is the cortisol-sodium connection, and how simply prioritizing proper hydration with unrefined salts first thing in the morning can calm the entire stress response system and make fasting feel dramatically easier throughout the day. The conversation wraps with a reminder that protecting sleep, eating earlier in the day, and building consistent fasting windows are the long-game levers that finally let your physiology work for you instead of against you — and this week's action step is to identify where you tend to enter the loop and apply just one targeted tool to interrupt it. ⁠⁠⁠Take the NEW FASTING PERSONA QUIZ! - The Key to Unlocking Sustainable Weight Loss With Fasting!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Resources and Downloads: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SIGN UP FOR THE DROP OF THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO BLOOD SUGAR CONTROL⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠GRAB THE OPTIMAL RANGES FOR LAB WORK HERE! - NEW RESOURCE! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠FREE RESOURCE - DOWNLOAD THE NEW BLUEPRINT TO FASTING FOR FAT LOSS!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SLEEP GUIDE DIRECT DOWNLOAD⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠DOWNLOAD THE FASTING TRANSFORMATION JOURNAL HERE!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Partner Links: Get your⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ FREE BOX OF LMNT⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ hydration support for the perfect electrolyte balance for your fasting lifestyle with your first purchase⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ here!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Get ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠25% off a Keto-Mojo⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ blood glucose and ketone monitor (discount shown at checkout)! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Click here!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Our Community: Let's continue the conversation.

Fibermaxxing. Berberine. Electrolytes. Hunger cues. There is so much nutrition advice online right now — but what's actually worth your time? In this episode, three registered dietitians are breaking down some of the biggest nutrition trends and questions people are asking: ✏️ On the Agenda 0:00 - Introduction 4:45 — What is Fibermaxxing and should I be doing it? 21:38 — Should I be take Berberine? 30:05 — Should I be drinking electrolytes every day? 43:28 — How Can I Reconnect with My Hunger and Fullness Cues 57:04— Just because its simple doesn't mean it's easy As dietitians, our goal is to help you separate evidence-based nutrition advice from the internet hype — while also recognizing that knowing what to do and actually doing it are two very different things. If you've ever felt overwhelmed by nutrition trends, confused about what supplements you "need," or frustrated that healthy eating feels harder than it should, this episode is for you. ✨ Subscribe for more realistic, science-backed nutrition advice from a dietitian. ⚡️ Get matched with a dietitian in 60 seconds or less: https://casespecificnutrition.com/match

There are two ways to provide vitamins, minerals, and amino acids to your horse: through factories or nature. In this episode, I discuss how horses obtain these nutrients naturally and where natural sources fall short. I also explore the production of these nutrients in laboratories and factories. I spend some time looking at where using man-made materials is required due to the environments in which horses live. For example, horses grazing large fields of fresh green grass undoubtedly have different needs than those raised in a dry lot. You will be surprised how adaptive horses can be up to a point. What may be more surprising is how few companies make the ingredients we discuss. Of concern are the many hands in the supply chain, in the production of the final product, and how often they sell the same ingredient under different brand names. 0:01 - Why horses may need supplements. 01:49 - Water: ground versus distilled. 02:17 - Minerals: macro and micro. Common deficiencies. Chelation. Why horses rarely get mineral deficiencies. Thumps (Synchronous Diaphragmatic Flutter), Electrolytes, Rickets, Magnesium deficiency and its associated behavior changes. 09:02 - Protein and amino acid deficiency: Natural versus synthetic amino acids, Signs of an amino acid deficiency, Genetic modification of microorganisms. 13:29 - About 80% of all amino acids and vitamins are made in China—discussion of the supply chain from raw materials to production facilities. 17:15 - The first of two problems: Man-made vitamins and amino acids are either made from chemicals or from genetically modified microorganisms, and the long supply chain from raw materials to the final product in your barn has too many points of non-verifiable steps and materials. 18:32- The second of two problems: How can the deficit or the results of supplementation be verified in the horse? 21:37 - Testing the diet that the horse is eating and comparing that to the signs of deficiencies. 23:21 - The fallacy that placing supplements in the food, other than macronutrients, will fix an underlying energy problem (mitochondria). 25:17 - The chemical in gunpowder that caused increased mitochondrial function and subsequent loss of body fat despite over-eating. It was called DNP (dinitrophenol), which acts as a mitochondrial uncoupler: It disrupts the proton gradient in cells, causing the body to "waste" energy as heat (thermogenesis) instead of storing it as ATP. This ramps up metabolic rate (sometimes by 30–50% or more), leading to rapid fat and carbohydrate breakdown and significant weight loss—even without dieting. (Wikipedia) Banned in 1938 by the FDA. 26:45 - Without the ability to test horses for a deficiency, feed companies just throw in amino acids, vitamins, and minerals to cover any possibilities without any proof they are needed. 29:30 - Vitamin C in humans and horses. 31:06 - Vitamins A, D, E, and K in horses. 33:51 - The B Vitamins. 34:35 - Summary of how and where raw materials are made, and the long supply chain to the final product sold to horse owners. Look at the horse for a deficiency. Look at the diet for deficiencies. Protein deficiency is the most common one seen, with the most problems in horses due to the lack of protein. Remove ingredients that inflame the gut. ******************************* #horses #veterinary #horseteeth #horsecare #equinedentistry Join us at The Horses Advocate Community page: https://community.thehorsesadvocate.com/yt Dentistry: https://theequinepractice.com/ Horsemanship Dentistry School: https://www.horsemanshipdentistryschool.com/c/information/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheHorsesAdvocate Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/horsesadvocate/ Geoff Tucker is a veterinarian and horseman who has worked with horses since 1973. He earned his Doctor of Veterinary Medicine from Cornell University in 1984. Over the years, Geoff went from mucking stalls as a farmhand to starting his own equine practice. This journey helped him learn how to blend medical care with good horsemanship. Geoff believes in doing what is best for the horse and also in working with the horse. While at Cornell, he started the Cornell Student Horseman's Association, which organized talks with local experts, a knowledge competition called the Intercollegiate Horse Bowl, and Foal Watch at the Equine Research Park to help with live foal deliveries. Wanting to educate horse owners even more, Geoff also launched the first "I Love New York Horse Symposium," which drew 500 people from across the northeast. Geoff also worked at the Equine Isolation Lab alongside respected colleagues, including Dr. Coggins, whose name is on the well-known test. He worked both part-time and full-time at Cornell's Equine Research Park. On graduation day in 1984, while his classmates celebrated, Geoff drove his fully stocked vet truck to his first call—a sick foal. This marked the beginning of The Finger Lakes Equine Practice, which still operates today. Geoff sold the practice in 1996, worked for a short time at another clinic near Albany, NY, and then started The Equine Practice, focusing on equine dentistry. He continues this work from his base in South Florida. Geoff worked on his first horse's teeth in 1983, when his mentor showed him how to place his hand inside a horse's mouth without medication and rasp off the offending sharp points. He was hooked from the start and made dentistry a key part of his practice. Since then, he has examined the mouths of over 84,000 horses across the United States - yes, he's been counting.

Are electrolyte powders actually improving your workouts, or are most bodybuilders paying for something they don't need? In this episode of the J3 University Podcast, we break down the science behind electrolytes, hydration, sodium, potassium, magnesium, sweat loss, and resistance training. We explain when electrolyte supplements can improve performance, when plain water is enough, and the few situations where adding extra sodium actually makes sense during contest prep or training in extreme heat. If you're a bodybuilder, physique athlete, or coach looking to optimize hydration and performance without wasting money on unnecessary supplements, this episode gives you the evidence-based answer. If you want more episodes like this — where we translate research into practical coaching decisions — subscribe and follow along each week.

So he went and found one of the leading researchers in the field. The answer was pretty much what he suspected.What we get into:Why the post-COVID boom in daily electrolyte supplementation is largely commercially driven — and how the "water doesn't hydrate you" marketing message gets built from a study done on people who were already fully hydrated and didn't need the water they were drinking in the first place.Why milk scored higher than water on the beverage hydration index, and why that has almost nothing to do with electrolytes and almost everything to do with gastric emptying rate — and why adding solid food to the equation makes the type of drink you consume essentially irrelevant for fluid retention.The actual threshold for when sodium supplementation starts to matter: more than four continuous hours of exercise, replacing at least 70% of fluid losses, with total sweat losses of around five liters or more. If that's not you, it's probably not your problem.Why urine color and urine specific gravity are measures of what your kidneys are doing, not direct measures of hydration — and why they're particularly unreliable during or immediately after exercise.The five-hour treadmill study — nine ultrarunners, either replacing 100% of sodium losses or zero, completely blinded. No difference whatsoever in temperature, heart rate, thirst, RPE, or fluid intake. They lost eight to nine percent of their total body sodium and nothing happened.Why sweat testing technology is outpacing the research on what to actually do with the numbers it produces.Season to taste — for anything under four hours, just pick what tastes good and helps you drink an appropriate amount of fluid.Mentioned in this episode:Waterlogged — Tim NoakesThis Is Your Mind on Plants — Michael PollanBeverage Hydration Index study, 2016Lawrence Armstrong — assessing hydration status, the elusive gold standard, 2009Lewis James, Loughborough University — placebo-controlled hydration researchFueling Endurance — Alan's podcast for runners, cyclists, and triathletesLong and Strong — the Mops and Moes training program on TrainHeroicViews expressed are those of the speakers and do not represent any official organization.

Carnivore Diet, Cholesterol, Gut Bacteria, Microbiome, and Fasting Insulin Results from a 90-Day Self-Experiment What if cutting out fiber entirely actually improved your gut bacteria? This episode breaks down a real 90-day carnivore self-experiment, complete with before and after blood work, stool testing, and continuous glucose data, that challenges everything you think you know about fiber, cholesterol, and metabolic health. Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey sits down with Ben Azadi, founder of Keto Kamp and bestselling author of Metabolic Freedom. After overcoming obesity and severe health challenges, Ben has spent years educating millions of people on metabolic health, fasting, ketosis, and biohacking strategies through his podcast, books, and YouTube channel with over a million subscribers. He is known for turning complex science into practical tools anyone can use to burn fat, boost human performance, and support long-term longevity. Ben walks through what happened when he ate nothing but meat, eggs, and dairy for 90 straight days, tracking everything from his microbiome diversity to his LDL particle size. His cholesterol numbers spiked, but the full lipid panel tells a very different story than most doctors would assume. They get into why ketosis works better when you cycle in and out of it, how sodium and electrolytes play a bigger role in insulin resistance than most people realize, and why eating 17 to 23 times a day might be quietly wrecking your metabolism. The conversation also covers the real science behind creatine absorption, why Dave adds his to hot coffee for better brain uptake, the truth about cooking oils and smoke points, and why cold plunging is one of the most misunderstood biohacks in the wellness space. Dave and Ben dig into mitochondria, fasting protocols, sleep optimization, and the supplements that actually move the needle for energy, fat loss, and anti-aging. This is essential listening for anyone serious about biohacking, functional medicine, brain optimization, and building a body that performs at a higher level for longer. You'll Learn: What 90 days of zero fiber actually did to his gut bacteria and microbiome diversity Why his cholesterol went up but his cardiovascular risk markers stayed low The real reason cyclical ketosis works better than staying in ketosis full time How sodium and electrolyte intake affects insulin resistance and metabolism Why eating too frequently keeps your body stuck in glucose and insulin spikes The creatine hack that increases brain absorption using hot coffee Why cold plunging is overrated for most people who skip the hormesis basics Thank you to our sponsors! - PredictiveMind™ | Get your Brain Pattern Mapping report at predictivemind.io/dave and use code DAVE for 10% off. - ZenBud | Dave's Nervous System Biohack.

Electrolytes have become one of the most heavily marketed areas of modern sports nutrition and wellness. What was once a relatively specific tool for certain endurance athletes has increasingly been reframed as an everyday requirement for hydration, energy, focus, productivity, and general health optimisation. But how much of this messaging is grounded in physiology, and how much is an example of industry taking a real mechanism and extending it far beyond the evidence? In this episode, we examine why many common use cases are unlikely to require an electrolyte product. Along the way, we explore how wellness marketing, biohacking culture, diet communities, and social media narratives can turn narrow sports nutrition applications into broad claims that many people come to accept as true. To discuss this topic, Danny is joined by Zoe Rom, a science and environmental journalist,  and Kylee Van Horn, a sports dietitian, to discuss how these claims are shaped by marketing, culture, and the attention economy.
