On today's episode, I'm joined by Thais Gibson for a clear, compassionate conversation about attachment theory and how it shapes the way you love, communicate, and relate in every area of life. We break down what attachment really is — the subconscious “rules” you learned about love and safety — and how it shows up in friendships, romantic relationships, and even family dynamics. Thais explains the four main attachment styles (secure, anxious, dismissive-avoidant, and fearful-avoidant), what drives each pattern, and how childhood experiences and repeated emotional conditioning shape your nervous system. We also explore how attachment can shift in adulthood, and why your conscious mind alone can't out-will old subconscious habits. Thais shares practical tools for healing, including nervous system regulation, boundary building, and rewiring your beliefs through consistent emotional practice. Whether you relate to anxious attachment, avoidant patterns, or you're seeking a more secure way of relating, this episode offers insightful, actionable guidance for building healthier relationships and deeper self-awareness.

Aging gets sold as this quiet slide into joint pain, low energy, and moving less because “that's just how it goes.” The truth is far more uncomfortable: loss of strength and muscle, not age, is what actually limits people long before it needs to. We dive deeper into this in the latest Habits & Hustle episode with Dr. Vonda Wright. We also get into why running doesn't ruin your knees, why the body's critical decade sits between mid-thirties and mid-forties, and why muscle isn't about looking a certain way, it's about staying capable. Dr. Vonda Wright is a board-certified orthopedic sports surgeon with more than two decades of clinical experience. She is a published author and international speaker specializing in musculoskeletal health, longevity, and performance. She also works as a biotech consultant and elite sports physician. What We Discuss: (14:58) Why joint pain, muscle loss, and slowing down are not inevitable with age (16:11) When real physical performance decline actually begins (21:13) Running, joint health, and what actually causes knee breakdown (22:45) Why weakness and poor mechanics hurt runners more than mileage (42:36) Why the body's "Critical Decade" sits between mid-thirties and mid-forties (43:40) The "minimum effective dose" for training when you are short on time (01:12:45) Facing the "fear of being bold" and taking action for your health Thank you to our sponsors: Rho Nutrition: Try Rho Nutrition today and experience the difference of Liposomal Technology.

STOP intermittent fasting if you think it automatically keeps you young. In this episode, you'll learn why short-term fasting results can mislead long-term aging outcomes, and how duration, frequency, refeeding, and protein intake determine whether fasting supports longevity or quietly accelerates decline. Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey sits down with Valter Longo, one of the world's leading longevity researchers with over 30 years of experience studying aging, nutrition, and disease prevention. Dr. Longo is the Director of the Longevity Institute at the University of Southern California's Leonard Davis School of Gerontology and the Director of the Longevity and Cancer Program at IFOM, the Italian Foundation for Cancer Research Institute of Molecular Oncology in Milan. He is the author of the bestselling book The Longevity Diet and was named one of TIME Magazine's 50 most influential people in health care for his research on fasting-mimicking diets. Together, Dave Asprey and Dr. Longo explain why many people focus too heavily on short-term effects and extrapolate them incorrectly across a lifetime. They break down how intermittent fasting differs biologically from multi-day fasting, why five-day fasting cycles trigger deeper cellular changes, and how insulin, IGF-1, mTOR, and growth hormone shape aging, regeneration, and disease risk over time. The conversation covers protein and amino acid intake, muscle preservation, frailty risk, and the tradeoffs between strength, function, and longevity. They explore ketosis, fasting-mimicking diets, stem cell activation, mitochondrial function, neuroplasticity, and why equilibrium and cycling matter more than constant restriction. Dave and Valter also discuss supplements, nootropics, creatine, carnivore-style eating, metabolism, sleep optimization, and how AI may eventually personalize fasting and nutrition based on individual biology rather than population averages. You'll learn: • Why short-term fasting benefits do not predict long-term longevity • How fasting duration changes gene expression and cellular regeneration • The difference between intermittent fasting and multi-day fasting • How protein and amino acids influence mTOR, IGF-1, and aging • Why muscle, strength, and longevity must be balanced, not maximized • When ketosis overlaps with fasting and when it does not • Why supplements can disrupt biological equilibrium • How AI could support future personalization in fasting and nutrition Dave Asprey is a four time New York Times bestselling author, founder of Bulletproof Coffee, and the father of biohacking.

What do you do when hope feels completely out of reach?In this episode of The Mark Divine Show, Mark sits down with Dr. Robyne Hanley-Dafoe, award-winning resilience researcher, educator, and known globally as The Hope Scientist, to unpack what hope really is—and why it's not just wishful thinking.Dr. Robyne shares her remarkable story of dropping out of high school, navigating addiction, surviving a near-fatal car accident, and rebuilding her life from the ground up.

Discipline gets a bad reputation… especially among high-performing women who've experienced it as rigid, punishing, or all-or-nothing. In this episode, I break down why that definition is outdated and why true discipline is actually one of the most supportive, freedom-creating tools we can build in our lives. I share why relying on motivation and willpower keeps us stuck in cycles of pushing and burnout, and how discipline is not a personality trait you either have or don't have, it's a set of systems that can be designed, refined, and strengthened over time. We talk about: Why motivation and willpower are unreliable fuel sources How discipline functions like the "skeleton" of your life The link between discipline, self-trust, and identity How to design systems that make the right choices easier Using constraints and friction to support your goals instead of fighting them Why structure actually creates more freedom, not less How to audit your systems so they support your energy, creativity, and performance Whether you're working toward fitness goals, business growth, or simply a more grounded and intentional life, this episode will help you rethink discipline as something nurturing, sustainable, and deeply empowering.

On episode 732 of the 40+ Fitness podcast, Coach Allan welcomes strength and fitness legend Dan John to the show, a man whose decades of experience span from elite athletics to coaching and academia. In this episode, Coach Allan, fresh off celebrating his 60th birthday, shares a hard-hitting statistic: only 22% of people actually follow the bare minimum guidelines for strength training. This sets the stage for a powerful conversation on why resistance training isn't just a good idea. It's absolutely vital for anyone over 40 who wants to maintain their health, function, and independence into their later years. Dan John unpacks his concept of "everyday strength," the kind of lasting fitness that lets you handle anything life throws your way, from carrying all your groceries in one trip to chasing after grandkids without missing a beat. Together, Coach Allan and Dan John break down how your focus should evolve with age: building foundational strength in midlife, prioritizing muscle mass, joint mobility, and regular walking as you move through your 50s, 60s, and beyond.

Coach JK is joined by Deanna Harder, a personal trainer and fitness coach based in Canada, for a conversation about what happens after you've taken fitness to the extreme. Deanna has lived on that end of the spectrum, from intense training and rigid food rules to bodybuilding prep, and she's candid about where it eventually leads when discipline quietly turns into obsession.They talk through why moderation is rarely the starting point for driven people. It tends to show up later, after burnout, plateaus, or the realization that chasing an old version of yourself is costing more than it's giving back. Deanna shares how she works with clients who are doing everything “right” on paper, yet feel stuck, frustrated, and worn down by the process.This episode is for anyone who's lived in extremes and is starting to wonder if there's another way to train, eat, and live, one that still involves effort, but doesn't require white-knuckling every season of life.-------Connect with DeannaWebsite: https://deannaharder.com/Instagram: @deanna.harderConnect with JKInstagram: @coachJKmcleodEmail: JK@jkmcleod.com

What if you could train your body to stay calm under pressure the same way Navy SEALs do? In this conversation with Level 3 Wim Hof Method instructor Brandon Powell, we explore the three-pillar system of breath work, cold exposure, and mindset training that elite athletes and military operators use to control their stress response and perform when it matters most.You'll discover how cold exposure triggers a 500% dopamine boost, why five breaths can shift you from panic to calm, and the science-backed protocols you can start today with nothing more than a cold shower and your breath.

SUMMARY OF THE TAMMECA ROCHESTER INTERVIEW From “Money Making Conversations Master Class” with Rushion McDonald 1. Purpose of the Interview The interview was designed to: Spotlight Tammeca Rochester, founder and CEO of Harlem Cycle, and her journey from engineering and corporate marketing into entrepreneurship. Highlight the importance of holistic wellness, community‑based fitness, and representation within the fitness industry. Inspire entrepreneurs—especially Black women—to pursue business ownership, develop strong business plans, and stay committed to their vision despite barriers. Overall, the interview serves as both a success story and a lesson in entrepreneurship, community impact, and personal transformation. 2. Summary of Key Themes A. Re‑Defining Herself Through Education & Career Changes Tammeca explains why she pursued multiple degrees—from Spelman and Georgia Tech to NYU Stern—and how each phase of her life motivated a new direction. She began in engineering, shifted to business, and ultimately found her passion in wellness. B. The Birth of Harlem Cycle Launched out of personal stress relief and a desire for culturally inclusive fitness spaces. Indoor cycling reminded her of joyful childhood bike rides in Atlanta. She wanted a wellness space where Black people felt seen, represented, and culturally connected—something missing from other cycling studios she attended. C. Building a Community-Centered Fitness Brand Harlem Cycle blends movement, music, and culture, playing the genres she grew up with—reggae, soca, hip‑hop—and fostering a socially connected environment.She stresses that fitness isn’t just physical but also emotional and mental health. D. Entrepreneurship: The Real Story Tammeca self‑financed her business after being denied a bank loan. She built her studio while still working full‑time and caring for a young child. Her first year was grueling—waking up at 5:30am and working until after 9pm daily. She emphasizes the importance of writing a business plan, using realistic projections, and staying true to your vision. E. Mentorship, Representation, and Industry Impact Over 60% of her team began as Harlem Cycle clients she later trained to become instructors. She aims to shift the fitness industry to include more diverse voices and accessible community wellness options. She plans for expansion, opening a third Harlem Cycle location in Newark to serve another community with limited wellness options. 3. Key Takeaways 1. You can redefine yourself at any point in life. “We can always redefine ourselves at any moment in life.” 2. Wellness must address the whole person. “Fitness is not just physical… it’s emotional and mental well‑being.” 3. Create community spaces where people feel represented. Tammeca built Harlem Cycle because she felt isolated in other fitness spaces as the only person of color. She wanted a studio rooted in Black culture and community. 4. Entrepreneurship requires discipline, planning, and sacrifice. “Write out your plan… and stay true to your plan.” “Just because you build it doesn’t mean they’ll come.” 5. Community impact drives her business model. Harlem Cycle isn’t just a workout studio—it's a culturally rooted community center focused on mental, emotional, and physical health. 6. Representation & mentorship matter. “60% of my team started as clients that we trained.” 4. Memorable Quotes Here are the strongest, most quotable lines from Tammeca: On Reinvention “Each time has been a moment in life where I evolved because of a goal I personally wanted.” On Holistic Fitness “Fitness to me is all about how we take care of our bodies—not just our physical body, but our emotional well‑being, our mental well‑being.” On Creating Harlem Cycle “I didn’t want to be the only person of color in the room—again. I wanted a place where my community could be seen.” On Entrepreneurship “Just because you build it doesn’t mean they’ll come… back down those numbers by 90%.” On Community Impact “We’re changing the fitness industry… starting here in Harlem by training our clients to be part of the wellness industry.” On Cultural Integrity “We don’t care about competition here—it’s about community.” #SHMS #STRAW #BESTSupport the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dr. Gabrielle Lyon—physician and leading voice in muscle-centric medicine— returns to talk with Gabby Reece about her new book, Forever Strong: The Playbook—a practical, tactical guide to building strength for life. They unpack why the health conversation went sideways into weight-loss obsession, why sarcopenia (loss of muscle and strength) may be the next major epidemic—especially in the era of GLP-1s—and how muscle impacts everything from blood sugar to long-term brain health.They also get into what “neutrality” looks like for high performers, why consistency is less about motivation and more about clarity, and how to simplify protein and training without making it complicated. Plus: recovery, minimum effective dose, intramuscular fat vs. body fat, blood flow restriction training, and why Dr. Lyon keeps her kids off screens.Produced by Dear Media.

In this episode of the Garage Gym Athlete podcast, Jerred Moon and Dave discuss the importance of consistency in fitness, particularly through their 300 Challenge. They share insights from the community, strategies for maintaining daily and weekly training goals, and the significance of front-loading workouts. The conversation also covers the epic version of the challenge, which includes additional volume and step goals, and how to effectively track and adjust these metrics. The hosts emphasize the need for intentionality in workouts and the benefits of community support in achieving fitness goals. Takeaways Consistency is key for success in fitness challenges. Breaking down goals into manageable chunks helps maintain motivation. Daily habits, like hitting 300 calories, can be challenging but rewarding. Front loading workouts can provide a buffer for busy weeks. Community support plays a crucial role in maintaining consistency. Tracking volume and steps can help in achieving fitness goals. Kettlebell exercises can significantly contribute to volume goals. It's important to be intentional about warm-ups and cooldowns. Gamifying workouts can lead to better habits in the long run. The challenge encourages accountability and intentionality in fitness. Topics Garage Gym, Consistency, 300 Challenge, Training, Fitness, Community, Daily Habits, Volume Tracking, Steps, Epic Version

Struggling with motivation lately? You're not broken and you're definitely not lazy. In this episode, I share a real-time reflection on why motivation feels shaky during seasons of massive identity transition, especially when life, work, and motherhood are all evolving at once. When our identity is clear, action feels easy but when we're questioning who we are becoming, everything can feel heavy and confusing. I break down why motivation is an unreliable driver and why waiting to “feel ready” keeps you stuck. We dive into the three things that actually create follow-through: commitment, identity, and systems. I'll challenge how you think about commitment (with a comparison that might sting a little), and explain why saying you're committed isn't the same as acting like it. We'll talk about how anchoring your actions to who you want to be, not just what you want to achieve, changes everything. I'll also walk through practical ways to reduce friction by building systems that support you on low-energy days. If you're in a season of transition, questioning your next chapter, or frustrated with your lack of consistency, this episode will help you reframe motivation and rebuild alignment. Stop waiting to feel motivated and start building something that works even when motivation is gone.
