Dr. Martin Picard, PhD, is a professor of behavioral medicine at Columbia University and an expert on how our behaviors and psychology shape cellular energy production and rates of aging. He explains that your mitochondria don't just “make energy”; they translate what you do—your mindset and your relationships—into the energy you experience as vitality or lack thereof. He explains how exercise, nutrition, sleep, meditation, and even certain thought patterns and our sense of purpose can charge our cells like batteries. He also shares findings that hair greying is the result of cellular stress and is reversible. This episode links physical and mental ‘energy' with cellular energy and provides science-supported tools to improve your physical and mental health. Read the episode show notes at hubermanlab.com.

View the Show Notes Page for This Episode Become a Member to Receive Exclusive Content Sign Up to Receive Peter's Weekly Newsletter In this "Ask Me Anything" (AMA) episode, Peter tackles a wide-ranging set of listener questions spanning lifespan interventions, exercise, cardiovascular risk reduction, time-restricted eating, blood pressure management, hormone therapy, diagnostics, and more. Peter reveals the single most important lever for extending healthspan and lifespan, and explains how he motivates midlife patients using the Centenarian Decathlon framework. He discusses the importance of addressing high apoB and cholesterol even in metabolically healthy individuals with calcium scores of zero, how to manage high blood pressure, and how to accurately evaluate metabolic health beyond HbA1c. Additional topics include time-restricted eating, practical considerations around ultra-processed foods, nuanced approaches to HRT for women and TRT for men, and why early and expanded screening for chronic disease—colonoscopy, PSA, coronary imaging, low-dose CT—can be lifesaving. He also offers insights into treating prediabetes, crafting exercise programs for those short on time, and safely incorporating high-intensity training in older adults.

Get ready to move your body and hear the Word of God! This REVING the Word endurance training session blends movement with biblical teaching on whole brain, whole body theology. Discover how physical activity activates more of your emotional brain (limbic system), allowing God's truth to sink deeper than just reasoning or information alone. Exercise isn't just good for your body—it's good stress (eustress) that builds resilience and opens your heart to receive from the Lord. Key Scripture: Haggai 2:7-9 (NIV) What to Expect in this Episode: Move to Engage the Whole Brain: Science shows that movement lights up the emotional centers of the brain, helping us process God's Word not just intellectually, but experientially—heart, soul, mind, and strength. Exercise as Good Stress: Physical activity is the healthy kind of stress your body needs, countering the bad stress of life and preparing you to receive God's peace. The Reminder of Rebellion: When we resist God's call (like ignoring our bodies as His temple), He may "give us over" to the consequences—not to punish, but to lovingly win us back and draw us into freedom. God's Promise in Haggai: He shakes things up to bring greater glory and ultimate peace. The "latter house" (our bodies, the Church, the new covenant) surpasses the former in splendor because Jesus, the Desire of All Nations, fills it. This Year's Call: Step into a better body—not defined by size or performance, but marked by God's peace. Let Him shake off what's weighing you down and fill you with His glory.

This is hands down one of the most powerful exercises I have ever done, and I am not exaggerating when I say it changed my life. In this week's episode, I'm sharing a video that is inside of my Next level program. This is an exercise where I walk my clients through the exact future self exercise that helped me move through fear, apply for my TEDx, and actually do the thing I kept telling myself I wasn't capable of. Not someday. Not years later. Immediately. This is not mindset fluff. This is a psychotherapy-based visualisation and embodiment exercise that allows you to access the version of you who has already done the thing you're scared of. Inside this episode, you'll experience: • Why your future self already lives inside you • How fear and desire can exist at the same time • The exact exercise I was guided through before my TEDx • How to receive clarity and guidance from future you • What action to take today to meet her sooner By the end of this sneak peek episode, you won't just be thinking about your future self, you will have met her, heard her, and received direction from her. Do this exercise properly. Suspend disbelief. Let it be powerful. If you do it, DM me on Instagram @thequeenofconfidence and tell me what came through for you.

In today's episode, I'm talking honestly about body image and not from a place of perfection, but from my real everyday experience. We'll unpack how constant exposure to food content, fitness trends, and curated lifestyles subtly shapes the way we think about our bodies. I share what intrusive thoughts around appearance can sound like and why they tend to show up when life slows down or feels uncertain. We talk about the arrival fallacy and the belief that once our body looks a certain way, we'll finally feel at peace and why that promise almost never delivers. I reflect on how comparison creeps in quietly and how it disconnects us from actually enjoying the lives we're building. This episode isn't about fixing your body; it's about understanding the mental patterns that keep you feeling dissatisfied even when things are objectively good. I also share perspective shifts that have helped me soften my relationship with my body without forcing positivity. We explore what it looks like to hold ambition and self-acceptance at the same time. If you've ever thought, “I should feel happier than this,” you're not alone. This conversation is an invitation to notice, not judge, the stories you're telling yourself. Body image isn't just about how you look. It's about how present you're able to be in your own life. And sometimes, the work isn't changing anything externally, but learning to arrive where you already are.

Faith, Fitness, & the Habits of Grace – with David Mathias Description: In this episode of the Young Adults Today podcast, host Josiah Kennealy welcomes pastor and author David Mathias for a thought-provoking conversation at the intersection of faith and fitness. Together, they unpack how spiritual disciplines and physical routines are intimately connected, offering wisdom for young adults who want to steward both body and soul in a vibrant Christian life. Key Topics: CS Lewis's “Donkey” Analogy: Loving and managing our physical bodies with grace and humor. The Historic & Biblical Case for Activity: Exploring movement in ancient times and what it means for Christians today. Theology of Exercise: Why our bodies and habits matter for faith, joy, and mission. Avoiding Legalism: How exercise should support rather than overshadow spiritual disciplines. Personal Routines: David and Josiah share their daily spiritual and physical habits (from Bible reading and prayer to jogging and family routines). Advice for Young Adults: Navigating transitions, staying healthy with busy schedules, and building new routines in changing seasons. Habits of Grace: How cultivating discipline in one area of life (like exercise or memorizing Scripture) can positively spill over into others. Encouragement for the Next Generation: David's best advice for young adults, recent graduates, pastors, and parents. Quotable Moments: “Exercise should be a supplement to—not a substitute for—spiritual practices.” “The outer person affects the inner person; caring for your body fuels your soul.” “Win the day by feeding your soul on God's Word first.” Action Steps: Assess your current pace and rhythm: Are you living at a sustainable, grace-filled speed? Add modest activity to your day—whether that's a morning walk, a jog, or intervals on a home treadmill. Pair physical routines with spiritual disciplines to maximize both body and soul health.

In this Journal Club episode, Rhonda Patrick, PhD and endurance athlete Brady Holmer dissect a new Nature Communications study of more than 70,000 adults showing that vigorous intensity is roughly 4–10x more potent than moderate activity for reducing all-cause mortality, cardiovascular events, type 2 diabetes, and cancer outcomes—far beyond the long-standing 1:2 rule embedded in global exercise guidelines.

Exercise is often framed as self-care, discipline, or proof that someone is “doing the right thing.” But for many people, exercise becomes tangled with shame, control, and self-worth. In this interview, Dr. Marianne Miller sits down with Dr. Lisa Folden, a weight-inclusive physical therapist and Health at Every Size ambassador, to explore how exercise shamefuels body image distress and disordered eating, even when it is disguised as wellness or health. Dr. Lisa shares her personal journey from overexercising, restriction, and rigid fitness rules to intuitive movement rooted in care rather than punishment. Together, they unpack how fitness culture, purity culture, and appearance-based health messaging teach people to judge their bodies and measure their worth through movement, weight, and discipline. This conversation reframes eating disorder recovery through a compassionate, weight-inclusive lens that separates exercise from morality and control. This episode is especially relevant for anyone struggling with eating disorders, chronic disordered eating, exercise guilt, or a painful relationship with movement. Content Caution This episode includes discussion of eating disorders, disordered eating behaviors, food restriction, binge eating patterns, overexercising, body image distress, weight stigma, and shame-based health messaging. Please listen in a way that feels supportive to you. Episode Overview In this conversation, Dr. Marianne and Dr. Lisa explore how exercise shame develops and why it is so deeply connected to body image and eating disorder recovery. Dr. Lisa explains how early experiences with discipline, structure, and purity culture shaped her relationship with food and exercise, reinforcing the belief that bodies must be controlled to be worthy. They discuss how fitness spaces often reward pain, consistency, and weight loss while ignoring mental health, accessibility, and individual needs. The episode also examines how intuitive movement becomes possible when exercise is no longer used to fix or punish the body. Dr. Lisa describes what shifted when she stopped exercising to change her body and began moving in ways that supported her nervous system, energy, and overall well-being. The conversation highlights how ableism and body size bias show up in gyms and wellness spaces, often through subtle judgments about who “belongs” and how bodies should move. Throughout the episode, Dr. Lisa emphasizes that exercise does not determine character and that body image healing requires separating movement from shame, worth, and identity. This reframing is central to sustainable eating disorder recovery and long-term healing. Why This Episode Matters Many people in eating disorder recovery were taught that exercising consistently meant they were good, disciplined, or successful, while rest or inconsistency meant failure. This episode challenges those beliefs and offers a more humane, evidence-informed approach to movement and self-care. It speaks directly to listeners who feel stuck in cycles of overexercising, restriction, binge eating, or chronic guilt around movement, and offers permission to relate to exercise in a way that supports healing rather than harm.

If you've been doing all the “right” things and still feel stuck, this episode is the wake-up call you didn't know you needed. I'm joined by my therapist, Chantale, who returns for a third time to help me unpack this in a way only she can.Today we're breaking down the #1 habit keeping you from achieving what you want, a habit she taught me that changed EVERYTHING for me, a habit so common most people don't even realise they're doing it…This habit is the reason why you feel guilty saying no, why fear shows up every time you try something new. You'll learn how to recognise when you're operating from an inauthentic version of yourself, why your goals fall apart when they're built on fear, and the neuroscience behind stepping outside your comfort zone.This is a practical, grounded conversation about building self-trust, setting boundaries without guilt, dissolving limiting beliefs, and finally creating goals that feel true to who you are, not who you think you “should” be.By the end, you'll know exactly how to break this habit, stop abandoning yourself, and take the first aligned step toward the life you actually want.This will unlock everything for you.
It's festive season, the pours get generous, and fat loss can suddenly feel… mysteriously harder. In this Mini Mikkipedia episode, Mikki breaks down why alcohol has more power than you think — not just because of calories, but because your body treats ethanol like a toxin and prioritises clearing it first. That means acetate becomes the preferred fuel, fat oxidation gets shoved to the back of the queue, and appetite, sleep, and next-day decision-making can all take a hit. Mikki also explains why midlife women often notice these effects more (sleep fragility, hormonal shifts, body composition changes), plus the real-world patterns that matter most: “most nights,” “weekend warrior,” and the classic “optimistic home pour.” You'll also get practical strategies to keep alcohol in your life without it quietly body-slamming your goals.Highlights / topics coveredWhat alcohol metabolism does to fat burning (acetate, ADH/ALDH, suppressed lipid oxidation)Why “two glasses” often isn't two standard drinks (and why the liver doesn't care)Sleep disruption → hunger, cravings, blood sugar swings, and reduced training qualityHow alcohol can blunt muscle protein synthesis after training — especially relevant in midlifePractical guardrails: weekly caps, timing, measuring pours, and choosing your “non-negotiable” drink Contact Mikki:https://mikkiwilliden.com/https://www.facebook.com/mikkiwillidennutritionhttps://www.instagram.com/mikkiwilliden/https://linktr.ee/mikkiwillidenSave 20% on all Nuzest Products WORLDWIDE with the code MIKKI at www.nuzest.co.nz, www.nuzest.com.au or www.nuzest.comCurranz supplement: MIKKI saves you 25% at www.curranz.co.nz or www.curranz.co.uk off your first order

Presenter Krupa Padhy is joined by the BBC's Social Affairs correspondent Michael Buchanan and Theo Clarke, former Conservative MP who also chaired the UK Birth Trauma Inquiry and hosts the podcast, Breaking the Taboo, to discuss the review and what comes next.Wages for housework was a feminist mantra in the West in the 1970s – feminist campaigners arguing for recognition of the economic value of domestic labour. The debate has been revived in India over the last decade with an estimated 118 million women across 12 states now receiving unconditional cash transfers from their governments. Devina Gupta, a reporter based in Delhi, and Professor Prabha Kotiswaran from King's College in London unpick the impact of ‘wages for housework' on women's lives and the Indian economy.When Kaitlin Lawrence was just 22 years old, she collapsed whilst playing netball for the then Super League side Surrey Storm. She was eventually diagnosed with arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (ACM), a genetic condition she never knew she had. Following this, she was forced to give up her dream of playing professionally for Scotland and has gone on to successfully campaign to get cardiac screening introduced in the Netball Super League next season. She tells Anita her story. They were joined by Presenter Gabby Logan, whose younger brother died suddenly at the age of 15 years old from an undiagnosed heart condition. Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.A new report highlights the crucial role of strength training and exercise for people on weight loss drugs. Data gathered by fitness professionals, Les Mills and the not-for-profit industry body, ukactive, shows the impact of weight loss drugs on skeletal muscle mass. Their report says that 20-50% of weight loss is lean body mass, which poses significant health risks such as frailty, disability, reduced metabolism, and increased mortality. Physiotherapist Lucy McDonald and Dr Sarah Jarvis join Krupa to discuss the importance of strength training to mitigate muscle loss.Presenter: Anita Rani Producer: Dianne McGregor

Visit us at shapedbydog.com When a new puppy arrives, the change in routine can create big feelings for an adult dog who has been part of every training session. Behaviors that look surprising are often signs of stress rather than spite or defiance. When we stay curious, it becomes easier to notice what our dogs may be trying to communicate. I'm sharing simple ways to support your adult dog so they can feel calm and confident while you focus on training your new puppy. In this episode, you'll hear: • Why dogs are not capable of spite the way we imagine. • Two questions to ask ourselves that shift how we understand behavior. • My student's story about an adult dog's unexpected behavior. • The cognitive bias behind assuming dogs are 'spiteful.' • Why curiosity strengthens connection and removes blame. • How stress changes physiology, with 2 personal real life examples. • The importance of ruling out medical conditions before assuming behavior issues. • Other stressors that can affect behavior. • How to support your adult dog during the puppy transition using the 3 E's (Exercise, Engagement, Enrichment). • A step-by-step plan to create calm and confidence for your older dog while your puppy is being trained. • How to use Hot Zones, Crate Games, and relaxation strategies to prevent stress in your adult dog. • The power of choosing curiosity to understand what your dog is communicating.

Mapping your parts is a powerful exercise from Internal Family Systems IFS to heal from trauma Learn the skills to Regulate your Emotions, join the membership: https://courses.therapyinanutshell.com/membership Today we're going to do something a little different. We're going to do an exercise from Internal Family Systems called “Mapping your Parts”. In IFS we come to see our different feelings, inner voices, thoughts, urges or habits as “parts” that interact like an internal family. Because when we can see them clearly and learn to listen to them, our parts can start to work together for our good. This exercise can help you when you're internally conflicted, or have a difficult decision to make, or when you keep reacting to a situation in a way that you don't like or understand. IFS is a respected treatment modality for working through trauma or PTSD or Childhood Trauma. Your parts can give you a lot of insight into what's going on. Looking for affordable online counseling?

Unmasking Hidden Sugars in 'Healthy' Drinks: Leyla Muedin, a registered dietitian nutritionist, examines the surprising amounts of sugar found in commonly perceived 'healthy' drinks. She discusses how beverages like energy drinks, fruit smoothies, and chai lattes can exceed the daily recommended sugar intake, based on a study by Ben's Natural Health. Leyla warns that even health-focused products and homemade drinks can contain high sugar levels, which can impact weight, blood sugar levels, and overall health. She emphasizes the importance of being an 'ingredient sleuth' and making informed choices.
What if the habits your child builds in middle school could shape their entire future?In this episode of the MindBodySpace Podcast, Dr. Juna reconnects with Noelle Naito—now a Juilliard-trained violinist and marathon runner—who began her brain training journey as a homeschooled middle schooler. With just a few simple tools like daily logging, mindfulness, movement, and mental training techniques like cognitive reappraisal, Noelle learned how to manage stress, build focus, and become the boss of her own brain.Together, they reflect on how small changes led to major transformation, from running one block at a time to crossing a marathon finish line—and how any young person can learn these same tools to set them up for lifelong resilience!Whether you're a parent, educator, or high-achiever yourself, this conversation will leave you inspired, grounded, and ready to build the kind of brain that thrives—on stage and in life.Brain Boss is the MindBodySpace program designed especially for tweens to build these exact skills—using neuroscience, visualization, and habit-building to create real, lasting confidence.
Send us a textHow ketosis and ketogenic diets work and how these tools can improve metabolic health, brain function, and even cancer management.Topics Discussed:Organs have different fuel preferences: brain strongly prefers glucose, heart prefers fatty acids, skeletal muscle is flexible and likes fat/ketones.Humans evolved with high metabolic flexibility; regular ketosis was normal for ancestors, but today most people never experience it.“Keto flu” is largely glucose withdrawal plus electrolyte/sodium loss; proper salt and hydration prevent most symptoms.Classic medical ketogenic diet is ~90% fat (historically saturated); modern versions often use more monounsaturated fats, MCTs, and higher protein.Saturated fat is not inherently atherogenic in the context of weight stability or caloric deficit; excess calories from any source can dysregulate metabolism.Exogenous ketones (e.g. BHB) provide energy, reduce ROS, stabilize membranes, increase inhibitory tone (GABA), and have hormone-like signaling effects independent of diet.Cancer cells often show Warburg effect (damaged mitochondrial respiration → heavy reliance on glycolysis); lowering glucose and raising ketones can stress cancer cells.True keto-adaptation for athletic performance requires 6–12 weeks; after that, elite athletes can match or exceed prior high-carb performance at sub-maximal and endurance efforts.Practical Takeaways:Therapeutic carbohydrate restriction (50–100 g/day for many people) plus occasional fasting or ketone supplements can restore metabolic flexibility with far fewer side effects than strict keto.Prioritize whole-food fats (eggs, fatty fish, beef, olive oil, butter/lard) and minimize processed keto products loaded with seed oils.Supplementing BHB (salts or esters) or MCT oil can ease the transition into ketosis, boost ketones without strict dieting, and may support brain and metabolic health.Regularly check basic blood markers (glucose, lipids, electrolytes) and consider an OmegaQuant test; optimizing metabolic health is one of the strongest preventable steps against cancer, neurodegeneration, and heart disease.Supplemental Ketone (BHB):KetoCitra—Ketone body BHB with potassium, calcium & magnesium, formulated with kidney health in mind.

What's the optimal amount and type of exercise to improve symptoms of Major Depressive Disorder?A new Bayesian network meta-analysis may have the most straightforward answer yet. In this episode, I break down a comprehensive review comparing four primary exercise modalities: aerobic, resistance, mind–body, and mixed training, and their impact on clinically diagnosed MDD.We explore:• The U-shaped dose–response curve• The minimum clinically effective dose (~320 MET-min/week)• The optimal dose (~860 MET-min/week)• Why mind–body training works at a lower volume• How METs standardise intensity across exercise types• How to build an evidence-aligned movement plan when motivation and energy are lowThis is a practical, grounded, science-backed guide to using exercise as one part of a broader approach to healing depression.

Come to a Dehoarding Accountability Zoom Session: http://www.overcomecompulsivehoarding.co.uk/ticket Subscribe to the podcast: https://www.overcomecompulsivehoarding.co.uk/subscribe Podcast show notes, links and transcript: http://www.overcomecompulsivehoarding.co.uk/ This episode, I've pulled together the best mental health advice from every guest I spoke to over the past year - academics, therapists, organisers, and people with lived experience. Each of them shared a personal habit or practice that genuinely helps them cope or keep on top of their wellbeing, and I add a couple of my own strategies too. Whether you're navigating hoarding, supporting someone who is, or just looking for affordable ways to protect your own mental health, stick around for a mix of practical, honest tips to try for yourself. Special Episode Format: Compilation of Guest Advice Throughout the year, every guest was asked about habits or practices supporting their mental health. Guest Contributions: Mental Health Habits and Practices Harriet Impey (Episode 172) Mindfulness and meditation, especially mindful self-compassion (inspired by Kristin Neff). Practical examples: Being present, guided meditation, practicing non-attachment, and self-reflection on letting go of unhelpful arguments. Dr Jan Eppingstall (Episodes 174 & 204) Practicing gratitude to counterbalance negativity bias. Unsubscribing from unwanted emails to reduce anxiety and overwhelm. Interacting with pets for grounding and emotional well-being - petting animals as a stress reliever. Visiting places where animals are accessible (e.g., city farms, pet shops, animal cafes). Jasmine Sleigh (Episode 175) Importance of good sleep for mental health. Value of pleasurable activities like reading, and the paradox of sometimes resisting enjoyable activities (self-sabotage). Reflection on how engaging in enjoyable pastimes is essential even when it's difficult to get started. Sam (Episode 178) Writing things down: Keeping lists of achievements and things to be grateful for, even small joys. Acknowledging how gratitude doesn't have to be grand - simple moments count. Exercise, particularly running, or any activity that gets you outside of your current headspace (could be walking, volunteering, etc.). The role of support from others to prompt new perspectives or activities. Dr. Victoria Ruby-Granger (Episode 179) Self-awareness and accepting what works for you, rather than trying to fit yourself to methods that don't suit. Emphasis on letting go of approaches that don't align with your own needs, and being open to alternative strategies. Carrie Lagerstedt (Episode 183) Moral neutrality: Separating self-worth from issues like executive dysfunction, lateness, and messiness. Reframing these traits as value-neutral rather than personal failings, helping to build self-esteem. That Hoarder Creative self-expression: Resentful journaling, collage, and visual arts—done primarily for personal expression, not for others' approval. Permission for creative works to be imperfect and focused on process over outcome. Nature connection: Getting outside, paying attention to natural details (flowers, leaves, colours, wildlife), and practicing mindful observation to foster grounding and perspective. Importance of self-compassion, giving oneself credit for small achievements (especially with meditation or walks). Allowing yourself pleasurable, nurturing, or healing activities without guilt. Noticing the bigger world and natural cycles as a counter to internal struggles. Encouragement for listeners to reflect on which practices resonate and to share their own tips.

The Cubs are busy finishing second on all of the players they want us to think they're after. Sure they are. Oleg and Praz are here to discuss Matt Shaw's future, Moises Ballesteros as the full time DH, whether Alex Bregman makes sense, what kind of pitchers the Cubs should target for the rotation and bullpen, and how the Cubs could finally give their manager a useful bench.
Dr. Mary Talley Bowden, a well-regarded ENT specialist, became one of the most polarizing figures in American medicine after refusing to fall in line during COVID. When her off-label use of ivermectin went public, the backlash was immediate: her hospital suspended her, the medical board came after her, and she was thrust into a national firestorm.In this episode, she lays out the blueprint she says was used to punish dissenting physicians—how hospital systems, public-health agencies, and industry interests closed ranks to enforce a single narrative. She breaks down the conflicts of interest baked into the modern “medical-industrial complex,” and why she decided to fight rather than fold.From vaccine-injury cases to mandate battles to the unprecedented wave of medical censorship, Dr. Bowden pulls no punches. She takes aim at the NIH, FDA, major hospital systems, and the Biden administration—exposing what she sees as a system more interested in profit, control, and compliance than patient care.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
