Get A generous discount on Resbiotic by going to: https://resbiotic.com/ and using code ‘DAVE20' Host Dave Asprey sits down with Dr. Vivek Lal, MD, FAAP, a double board-certified physician scientist who discovered the gut-lung axis while running the Pulmonary Microbiome Lab at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. He serves as Director of Clinical Innovation at UAB's Marnix Heersink Institute of Biomedical Innovation and trained in pulmonary and vascular biology at UT Southwestern before completing MIT's executive program in drug and device development.

His decade of research turned into the world's first probiotic built specifically for respiratory health. Dave and Vivek break down MMP-9, the overlooked inflammatory pathway that drives collagen breakdown, chronic lung disease, and accelerated aging throughout the body. They cover why germ-free mice outperform normal mice, how antibiotics and toxic mold reshape your lung bacteria for years, why breathwork actually changes your lung microbiome, and how postbiotics and inhaled probiotics could become the next frontier in functional medicine. Along the way they get into supplement formulation, drug development red tape, and why self-experimentation should be treated as a right, not a privilege. You'll Learn: What the gut-lung axis is and how gut bacteria control inflammation in your lungs Why MMP-9 may be the next major longevity pathway after sirtuins How antibiotics, toxic mold, and vaping damage your lung microbiome long term Why breathwork and lung training measurably change your lung bacteria How postbiotics and inhaled probiotics could replace inhalers and steroids Why product-level clinical testing matters more than single-ingredient hype How self-experimentation, AI, and personalized data are reshaping medicine Thank you to our sponsors! - ELITE Performance Coaching | If you'd like to discover where you may be addicted to struggle, allergic to success, and what may be standing between you and your next breakthrough, visit FastestChange.com - ZenBud | Dave's Nervous System Biohack.

After last week's episode on the traps keeping high-achieving women stuck in their bodies, I'm flipping the script and sharing the six mindset shifts that have actually bulletproofed me (in my fitness, my business) and my life over the last 14+ years. We're covering radical ownership even when something genuinely isn't your fault, why the biggest goals require the most support (not the least), why I actively seek out failure instead of avoiding it, why "always something, never nothing" has replaced all-or-nothing thinking in my life, what it actually means to jump and build the parachute on the way down, and why believing everything is figureoutable might be the single most important mindset any high performer can adopt. These aren't feel-good affirmations, they're the specific, repeatable mental shifts I use with myself and with my clients to keep moving forward when things get harder, not easier, the more you grow. If you're the woman who's used to being good at things and shrinks a little when you're not, this episode is your permission slip to get messy, ask for help, and trust that you'll figure it out — because you already have, more times than you're giving yourself credit for. For the high-achieving hot girls that want to recover better, support glowier skin, and promote longevity through better cellular health, get up to 39% off Mitopure Gummies with code EMDUNC and make wellness easier than ever.

On this episode of the 40+ Fitness Podcast, Coach Allan breaks down the fight playing out right now in Washington, DC, between GLP-1 medications and peptides. The two keep getting mentioned in the same breath, but they sit on opposite sides of the evidence line. GLP-1s like semaglutide and tirzepatide are tested medications with known dosing and documented side effects. Peptides like BPC-157 and TB-500, the so-called Wolverine stack, are not approved for human use and live in a gray market built mostly on rat studies and anecdote. Coach Allan walks through the recent FDA Pharmacy Compounding Advisory Committee panel that recommended approving 6 of 7 peptides even after the agency's own scientists raised safety concerns, and he points out what it means for you. Time Stamps: 02:54 GLP-1s and peptides, framing the fight 04:26 Peptides and the gray market 05:20 The cheating debate around weight-loss drugs 06:07 The peptides: AOD-9604, BPC-157, TB-500 07:00 Branding and hype: the Wolverine stack 08:50 How both sides market GLP-1s and peptides 09:54 RFK Jr. and what the FDA is for 11:04 Follow the science, not the phrases 12:57 Off-label prescribing and thin peptide data 14:34 Gray market and inconsistent manufacturing 15:47 The FDA compounding panel meets 16:32 FDA scientists warn against approval 17:43 The panel's conflict of interest and 6-of-7 recommendation 19:50 The Joe Rogan ivermectin parallel 22:20 Peptides, cancer risk, and personal caution 23:11 The N=1 experiment and its limits 26:33 Making the decision that's right for you Links - Work with Allan one-on-one (a few coaching slots are open right now): coach@40plusfitness.com - 40+ Fitness: https://40plusfitness.com

Have you ever wondered what actually happens inside your abdomen during a bariatric revision? In this episode of Our Sleeved Life Podcast, host Mel (@melunfiltered.vsg) sits down with board-certified bariatric surgeon Dr. Betsy Dovec to watch and review actual 4K high-definition video footage of Mel's Gastric Sleeve (VSG) to Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RNY) revision surgery! 11 years after her original sleeve gastrectomy, Mel was dealing with chronic pressure, reflux, and weight plateaus. Dr. Dovec reveals the mind-blowing findings inside Mel's abdomen including a corkscrewed/twisted stomach pouch, a large Type 3 Paraesophageal hiatal hernia suctioned up into her diaphragm, an un-dissected retained fundus that was 3x wider than normal 75mm vs 35mm, and incidental endometriosis!

Welcome to HALO Talks, where we take deep dives into the minds behind the most dynamic brands in the health, active lifestyle, and outdoors space. In this episode, we're joined by Tony Scrimale, CEO of CR Fitness and a true industry operator whose path took him from upstate New York to the heart of Florida's gym scene. Starting as a young gym enthusiast, Tony's grass-roots experience paved the way for an entrepreneurial ride . . . moving from walking the floor early on, to eventually leading a powerhouse Crunch franchise group with over 100 locations. Tony opens up about the value of hands-on leadership, the importance of ownership mentality at every level, and what it takes to scale through both organic growth and strategic acquisitions. We'll hear his candid thoughts on private equity partnerships, building resilient teams, and staying true to your brand identity in the face of rapid evolution. Plus, Tony shares his excitement about tackling hyper-competitive markets like Phoenix, rebranding Crunch for the next era, and why surrounding yourself with sharp, experienced minds is his secret weapon for success. If you're passionate about scaling operations, navigating deal flows, learning what's involved when private equity jumps in, and more, this one is a must-listen. When it comes to brand identity versus just pure imitation, Scrimale says, "Just because everybody else has something doesn't mean that we have to have it too. What does Crunch identify themselves at? We don't have to have everything, but the stuff that we do have, I wanna be great at!" Key themes discussed Ownership mentality and hands-on leadership Transition from athlete to fitness entrepreneur Relationship-driven vs. volume-based gym models Scaling through private equity and acquisitions Importance of team and infrastructure in growth Staying true to brand identity and focus Adapting to evolving industry and new markets A Few Key Takeaways 1. Ownership Mentality at Every Level: Tony emphasized the importance of developing an "ownership mentality" regardless of your title or role. He highlighted that truly successful operators treat every inch of the business as their responsibility, from picking up trash in the parking lot to ensuring excellence in customer service. This mindset is essential not only for operational excellence but also for anyone aspiring to run or own a facility one day 09:43. 2. Scaling with Private Equity-Plan, Don't Just Grow: The conversation touched on the nuanced impact of bringing in private equity. While access to capital accelerates growth and reduces personal financial risk, Tony pointed out that maintaining a healthy balance between rapid expansion and operational capability is critical. He advised not to sacrifice infrastructure or culture for the sake of speed, warning against reckless acquisitions that don't align with the company's strengths or market strategy 17:46, 18:08. 3. Stick to Your Brand Identity & Don't Chase Every Trend: Scrimale explained how the temptation to mimic competitors or pursue every new trend can dilute a company's purpose and effectiveness. He stressed the importance of knowing what your brand stands for and investing in being the best at core competencies, rather than trying to be all things to all people, 22:33. 4. The Evolution of Health Clubs: From Personal to HVLP 3.0: Reflecting on industry changes, Tony described a shift from high-touch, relationship-driven gyms to high-volume, low-price models (HVLP), and now towards hybrid models with enhanced amenities. Success in a competitive environment, especially with sophisticated brands like Crunch, depends on the team's ability to quickly establish trust and differentiate through both service and offerings despite significantly less member interaction time 13:01, 15:06. 5. Choosing the Right Brand and Partners Fuels Growth: Tony highlighted how alignment between personal passion and brand identity fuels authentic leadership and better business performance. He also underscored the importance of selecting equity partners who support, rather than stifle, the vision and culture, citing positive experiences with North Castle and Sixth Street, who empower the management team rather than impose dramatic change 28:42. For B2B executives and investors in the HALO sector, Tony's journey underscores the value of ground-up experience, maintaining focus in the face of rapid growth, and the critical role of both internal culture and external partners in scaling success.

Hard things don't get easier when we pretend they aren't hard — they get easier when we stop wishing they were different.In this solo 5x5, Ben answers one listener question from each of the five factors: dealing with a chaotic home situation with a napping toddler, chasing a federal special agent fitness standard, eating clean on the road, deciding whether to have more kids in your 40s, and navigating a child's fear of the dark.Acceptance is not approval. When we stop spending energy wishing our circumstances were different, we free that energy for actual solutions. That's the thread running through all five questions — and the foundational move of the Awareness → Intention → Action cycle.

Welcome to the fourth episode of the Coach's Corner Series! Pregnancy and postpartum are often centered around the baby, but what about the mom? In this episode, I sit down with one of our functional health practitioners, Elizabeth, to talk about what actually happens to your metabolism, hormones, thyroid, and gut health after giving birth. We unpack why so many women feel dismissed when they're told their symptoms are "just part of postpartum," and why those changes deserve attention rather than acceptance. You'll learn how breastfeeding, recovery, and hormonal shifts can all influence metabolism, and why trying to "bounce back" too quickly can often work against your body instead of with it. We also discuss the critical role thyroid health and gut function play during the postpartum season, and how protecting both can make a meaningful difference in your energy, recovery, and long-term health. Elizabeth shares what an ideal progression through postpartum recovery can look like, from prioritizing rest to gradually rebuilding movement and strength without rushing the process. We also explain why foundational habits like sunshine, gentle movement, hydration, and nervous system support often matter more than extreme diet or exercise plans in those early months. Along the way, we walk through a real client lab review that highlights how antibiotics, birth control, and gut health can create a ripple effect on hormone balance after pregnancy. I f you've been waiting for the right time to prioritize your own health, this conversation is a reminder that supporting yourself is one of the best ways to support your family. Your body isn't failing you. It's adapting to one of the biggest physiological transitions it will ever experience. Whether you're currently postpartum, planning for pregnancy, or simply want to better understand how the female body recovers, this episode will help you approach the journey with more clarity, confidence, and compassion.

In this episode of Passion, Purpose, and Possibilities, I sit down with Nicole Zapoli, a professional fitness and wellness coach, owner of NZ Fitness, author of Live Fit From the Inside Out: The Six Shifts to Living Your Strongest, Healthiest, and Happiest Life, and mom of two. With over 25 years of experience, a pro card in natural bodybuilding, and a background ranking among the top 5% of CrossFit Games Open athletes, Nicole breaks down what it truly takes to build holistic health from the ground up. Together, we explore how early childhood athletics built her lifelong discipline, why physical movement and mindset shifts are more powerful than just talking through problems, and how simple daily habits can transform your health and mindset. In this episode, we discuss: How an eight-year-old Nicole dressed up for Career Day with a vision to become a coach and gym owner How childhood gymnastics built early resilience, body respect, and physical confidence Why early open conversations about eating disorders helped Nicole focus on sports nutrition and proper fueling Why gymnastics provides the ultimate physical and mental foundation for all sports and life skills How parents can teach discipline and consistency to kids, even on days they don't feel like showing up The SHIFTS acronym: Sleep, Hydration, Intake, Fitness, Thoughts, and Sunshine Why thoughts and mindset are the most essential shift for creating sustainable life change Why taking physical action and moving your body rewires the brain and eases anxiety far better than passive discussion The childhood stick-shift driving lesson from Nicole's dad that inspired her book's core philosophy Nicole's upcoming 2027 fitness and yoga retreat and her ultimate dream of opening a holistic wellness ranch “You're not gonna stay in fourth or fifth gear forever. We've gotta be able to shift down, take rest, and be able to shift back depending on where we are and where we're going.” - Nicole Zapoli About Nicole: Nicole Zapoli is a professional fitness and wellness coach, owner of NZ Fitness, and author of "Live FIT From the Inside Out: The 6 SHIFTS to Living Your Strongest, Healthiest, and Happiest Life." With over 25 years of experience, a Pro card in natural bodybuilding (Figure & Sports Model), and ranking among the top 5% CrossFit Games Open athletes, Nicole is a leading expert in holistic wellness, having trained thousands globally. Nicole's journey began at age eight, dreaming of owning her own gym and becoming a coach. The turning point came when, at 14, training at the U.S. Olympic Training Center, she witnessed peers struggling with eating disorders, which profoundly shifted her mission to help people live healthier, happier lives beyond competition. Later, overcoming personal anxiety and imposter syndrome as a single mom and gym owner further solidified her understanding of self-worth. Through her journey, Nicole developed a unique approach to help athletes, busy parents, and professionals achieve lifelong wellness through what she calls the SHIFTS Framework.

What if lasting success in fitness has less to do with finding the perfect plan and more to do with changing what you focus on?In this episode, I share why I believe the fitness industry has spent decades teaching us to chase outcomes instead of building a healthier relationship with ourselves. We talk about appreciating yourself at every stage, building a forever active lifestyle, and why the goal isn't to become someone else. It's to become more connected to who you already are.The Almost Daily Podcast is here to reinforce that decision each day, and the journal prompts are designed to help you explore what these ideas mean in your own life.If you'd like to connect more deeply with the topics from the Almost Daily Podcast, sign up for the weekday journal prompt emails:YourLevelFitness.com/email

The NN Pod completes its 2026/27 season preview by assessing what success now looks like for Arsenal after winning the Premier League, reaching the Champions League final and establishing themselves among Europe's strongest sides.The hosts debate whether retaining the league title should remain the priority or whether the Champions League has become the defining target. With the pressure of ending Arsenal's 22-year title wait finally removed, they consider whether the team can approach the new campaign with greater freedom while still managing the demands of defending its crown.Attention then turns to the condition of the squad. William Saliba's absence, uncertainty around Jurrien Timber and the physical load carried by players including Declan Rice, Martin Ødegaard, Bukayo Saka and Kai Havertz raise questions about rotation, recovery and whether Arsenal can keep their most important players available for the decisive months of the season.The episode also examines where the attack must improve after a title-winning campaign built heavily on defensive control, set pieces and narrow victories. The hosts assess the need for better individual returns, the potential evolution of Arsenal's midfield and right-hand side, and whether a fitter Ødegaard can help unlock a more expansive version of the team.Finally, the discussion moves to Max Dowman, the pathway for Arsenal's academy players, the club's continuing difficulties in the sales market and the transfer priorities that remain before the window closes. With Arsenal beginning the season as champions rather than challengers, the question is no longer how they reach the top — but how much further they can go.Chapters:(00:00) - Arteta's Non-Negotiables & Intro(00:49) - What Constitutes Success This Season?(03:46) - Arteta's Contract Situation(06:33) - Rotation, Injuries & Managing the Squad(09:11) - Can Fans Accept Rotation?(11:56) - Premier League or Champions League?(14:05) - Managing the Champions League Schedule(19:54) - Where Must Arsenal's Attack Improve?(22:13) - Better Returns From Arsenal's Attackers(25:05) - Can Arsenal Attack More Without Losing Control?(26:33) - Fine Margins, Set Pieces & Sustainability(29:45) - Replacing Saliba's Influence(34:15) - Ødegaard's Deeper Midfield Role(37:39) - Max Dowman's Breakout Potential(39:10) - Ife Ibrahim & Arsenal's Next Academy Prospects(44:16) - Can Other Hale End Players Break Through?(47:54) - Academy Pathways & Player Development(51:32) - Arsenal's Selling Problem(54:07) - Why Are Arsenal Players Undervalued?(01:02:27) - Arsenal's Remaining Transfer Priorities(01:05:03) - Meslier's Pre-Season Performance(01:06:16) - Vieira, Nelson, Jesus & the Oversized Squad(01:09:02) - Optimism Ahead of the New Season(01:12:14) - Arsenal at the Top of the Mountain(01:15:03) - Will Arsenal Play Better Football?(01:17:13) - Outro & What's Next

This week on The Back of the Pack Podcast, we are catching up on a busy stretch of running, volunteering, night racing, and hot-weather half marathon chaos. We start at the Matt Mason Cowboy Up Triathlon at Smithville Lake, where Kyle traded in his race bib for a volunteer shirt and got a firsthand reminder of just how much work it takes to keep athletes moving safely through swim, bike, and run events. After surviving GPS confusion, a packed race morning, and a blazing-hot aid station shift, the episode shifts to the other side of the table and why every runner should volunteer at least once. Then it is back to Smithville Lake for the Lunartic 5K, a Friday night point-to-point race with school buses, shoe chips, glow-in-the-dark medals, headlamps, lake views, surprise hills, and enough bugs to qualify as on-course protein. From there, we head to Parkville for the Heat Wave Half Marathon at English Landing Park, where the course was familiar, the humidity was rude, and the final miles got spicy once the sun climbed over the trees. Kyle also talks about stopping mid-race to help get assistance for a runner who went down on course, because even when the clock is ticking, runners look out for runners. Despite the heat, the late-race fade, and the extra energy spent sprinting for help, the day still ended with a Heat Wave finish, a spinning medal, and a surprise first-place age group award. We also look ahead to K-State Night at Chasing Rabbits Run Club, the return of Garmin Kansas City Marathon Night on August 20, and the continued march toward Sydney. It is a full catch-up episode packed with race stories, volunteer lessons, glow-in-the-dark weirdness, summer suffering, and the kind of decisions that only make sense when you are already signed up.
Send us Fan MailThe fitness industry has made women's health feel unnecessarily complicated.

We break down whether women actually need to train differently than men, what cycle syncing gets wrong, whether walking counts as exercise, and what strength training and cardio should realistically look like.We also get into creatine, protein needs in midlife, HRT and muscle loss, body recomposition, DEXA scans, smart scales, grip strength, weighted vests, fasted workouts and the growing and concerning-world of unregulated wellness peptides.Use code GGW20 for 20% Stay Above Nutrition products (US & Canada)!You can check them out hereSHOP OUR MERCH HERE
She built a global fitness brand without investors, business degree, or plans for becoming an entrepreneur.When Eliza Shirazi graduated from UMass, she thought she'd spend her career working in public health. Fitness classes were simply a side hustle—a way to make a little extra money after work.Over the next decade, that side hustle became Kick It by Eliza, a kickboxing-inspired worldwide fitness community that has transformed thousands of lives through live events, instructor certifications, social media content to her 25,000 Instagram followers, online memberships, and partnerships/appearances with brands like New Balance, NBC's "The Today Show," POPSUGAR, and more.But as is often the case, things don't always appear as they seem.In this conversation with host Troy Farkas, Portsmouth's Shirazi opens up about the rejection that's shaped her, the sponsorship deal she lost just when everything seemed to be working, the imposter syndrome she felt training in the boxing ring with George Foreman's son, the nerves she felt before making the biggest media appearances of her life, and the terrifying uncertainty of watching the pandemic threaten everything she'd spent years building.This episode, which is presented by Degree Wellness Seacoast, is about much more than fitness. It's about betting on yourself before anyone else does, learning to separate your own dreams from everyone else's expectations, embracing rejection as a competitive advantage, and discovering that the biggest opportunities often arrive disguised as your worst setbacks.In this episode, you'll learn:Why losing her biggest sponsorship became the catalyst for her greatest growthHow George Foreman's son helped her overcome imposter syndromeThe surprising business lesson behind building a fiercely loyal communityHow one YouTube workout unexpectedly changed the trajectory of her careerWhat the pandemic taught her about resilience and reinventionThe simple goal-setting framework she uses to stay motivated during overwhelming seasonsWhy rejection is one of the most valuable assets an entrepreneur can haveTroubling health trends and why she refuses to lean into themSUPPORT SEACOAST STORIES:Visit the NEW SeacoastStories.com for our newsletter & LIMITED-TIME summer merch drop!Follow Seacoast Stories on Apple Podcasts or on Spotify to get our new episodes every week.UPCOMING EVENTS:Seacoast Stories Dinner Club: The club that's regularly attracting ~100 people heads to Amesbury, Mass. on Wednesday, August 5, and back to Portsmouth on Wednesday, August 19!

Start your free trial at trainheroic.comThe Core Four — Four Cognitive Traps Killing Military Human PerformanceDrew and Alex gave a standing-room-only breakout at the H2F Symposium on this. Now they have time to actually unpack it. Four heuristics that show up everywhere in military human performance — and in every human-run organization. You can't escape them, but you can at least recognize them. What we get into:Goodhart's Law — when a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure. The AFT was designed to signal readiness. The moment it became an incentivized metric, people started optimizing the score instead of the fitness. Same thing happened in Vietnam with body counts. The cure: use multiple metrics, reward more than test scores, and acknowledge what the assessment was actually supposed to tell you.McNamara Fallacy — only what can be quantified matters. The first step is measuring what's easy. The second is disregarding what can't be measured. The third is assuming the unmeasurable isn't important. The fourth is deciding it doesn't exist. Sound familiar? Social cohesion, trust, culture, the music playing in the gym — none of these show up on a dashboard. All of them matter enormously. Every minute a coach spends measuring is a minute they spend not coaching.Hammond's Corollary — what gets measured gets managed, but what most needs managing isn't always measurable. The soldier with a perfect AFT score who can't pick up a ruck without throwing out his back. Fitness versus capability. Athleticism versus fitness. You know it when you see it — and just because you can't put it on a graph doesn't mean it doesn't exist.Nazareth syndrome — no man is a prophet in his own home. The one place Jesus got the most skepticism was Nazareth, because they knew him as the carpenter. The embedded human performance team dealing with real constraints gets ignored. The outside consultant with slick branding and a two-day seminar gets the senior leader's full attention. You can't eliminate this one — but you can use it to your advantage.Mentioned in this episode:Drew's article — The Death of Periodization at mopsandmoes.comChris Frankel — assessment framework: camera, map, crystal ball, engineVF Ridgway, 1956 — the actual origin of "what gets measured gets managed"Justice Potter Stewart, 1964 — the porn quote.

Club soccer is loaded with buzzwords, but on the field, it still comes down to kids, coaches, and parents either helping or getting in the way. Adam sits down with Rockford Raptors executive director Frank Mateus to talk honestly about development, recruiting, mindset, and what's really happening in youth soccer right now.Episode SummaryYouth soccer has turned into long drives, club fees, showcases, tryouts, and college hopes stacked on top of regular school and life. Frank lays out how Rockford Raptors grew from a doctor buying land for his kids to a full path from three‑year‑olds in rec jerseys to ECNL and USL teams playing under the lights at Sportscore Two.The back-and-forth stays practical: what scouts actually watch, why high school soccer can still matter, and how tech, video, and constant tracking affect how kids think about their game. A big chunk of the talk is parents—sidelines, car rides, and the way one comment can either steady a kid or rattle them for a whole season. It's straight, on-the-ground detail from people who are actually in the gyms, on the fields, and at the tournaments.Key TakeawaysRockford Raptors' path: 3‑year‑olds to ECNL to USLHow Doc Wedgebury's idea became Sportscore TwoWhy big tournaments land in Rockford, not the suburbsClub vs high school soccer and where recruiting really happensVideo, highlight clips, VAR, and how kids now watch the gameTesting and metrics vs reading the game with your eyesHow physical the modern girls' and boys' game has becomeConfidence, mistakes, and what players tell themselvesCoaching the coaches so the standard keeps moving upParents, car rides, and how families can quietly cost a kid chancesEpisode Chapters00:00 Intro, Oak Performance Radio & who Frank is02:11 Doc Wedgebury, early days, and Sportscore Two04:42 Rockford's space, tournaments, and local economy07:22 How club soccer and ECNL changed the landscape11:06 Tech, film, World Cup, and kids copying the pros19:10 Fitness tests, numbers, and the mental side of data23:07 Physicality, strength work, and the girls' and boys' game28:43 Mindset, mistakes, and staying in it after a goal34:04 Coaching coaches and reviewing your own decisions37:29 Parents, college coaches, and the car‑ride problem52:00 Rockford community, facilities, and always upgrading59:47 Where to start with Raptors and Raptors Youth Soccer LeagueResources MentionedRockford Raptors – Competitive club based in Rockford, IL (boys and girls, ECNL, USL2, USLW)Raptors Youth Soccer League (RYSL) – Entry‑level and rec program for young playersSportscore Two / Wedgbury Stadium – Rockford Park District soccer complex that grew from Doc Wedgebury's original fieldsUSL2 / USLW – Pre‑pro leagues Raptors compete inECNL – League Frank points to for top youth competition and recruitingFIFA World Cup (1994 and current) – Used as markers for growth of U.S. soccerEnglish Premier League, Bundesliga, La Liga – Pro leagues kids watch and copyVAR / NFL replay – Examples around officiating and video reviewOura Ring / Whoop strap – Wearables mentioned for sleep and recovery dataAbout the GuestFrank Mateus is the Executive Director of the Rockford Raptors in Rockford, Illinois.

Food noise, hunger and cravings are often treated as interchangeable, but they arise from different biological and psychological systems. In this episode, Mikki explains how physiological hunger develops gradually in response to the body's energy needs, while cravings are shorter, cue-driven urges for specific foods. Food noise is different again: a persistent background hum of food-related thoughts linked to reward circuitry, rumination and heightened responsiveness to food cues.Mikki explores why GLP-1 medications can dramatically quiet food noise, how stress, poor sleep and highly palatable foods can amplify it, and why intuitive eating may improve calmness around food without necessarily producing fat loss. She also outlines practical strategies, including improving protein and fibre intake, reducing easy access to trigger foods, addressing stress and sleep, and recognising when medical support may be appropriate.Topics coveredThe biological differences between hunger, cravings and food noiseWhy food noise feels intrusive and repetitiveHow GLP-1 medications affect food reward pathwaysThe role of stress, sleep and ultra-processed foodsPractical strategies for reducing appetite-related noise Contact Mikki:https://mikkiwilliden.com/https://www.facebook.com/mikkiwillidennutritionhttps://www.instagram.com/mikkiwilliden/https://linktr.ee/mikkiwillidenNZ listeners - save 10% off Calocurb by using the code Mikkipedia10 at www.calocurb.co.nzSave 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

Today we jump back 15 years to two back-to-back episodes of the PWTorch Livecast from July 14 and 17, 2011.On the July 14, 2011 episode, PWTorch Livecast, host PWTorch assistant editor James Caldwell was joined by PWTorch columnist Sean Radican at the beginning of the show to discuss Radican's latest reviews & DVD coverage, plus discuss the potential finish of John Cena-CM Punk at MITB. Caldwell then discusses with live callers every angle of the Cena-Punk match, potential outcomes, how they get to WrestleMania, The Rock's promo on Wednesday, whether Cena turns heel short or long-term at any point before or after WrestleMania, the talent pool dry for WWE within their own company due to booking issues and outside of WWE, why WWE needs a different creative approach, and much more.Then on the July 17, 2011 episode, PWTorch Livecast with host PWTorch assistant editor James Caldwell and PWTorch columnist Greg Parks discussed with live callers the immediately-concluded Money in the Bank PPV from all angles including the epic Cena-Punk match, where they go from here, why the match worked, why WWE could set up a bigger angle or pull the rug out from under viewers on Raw, a potential end-game for Punk at WrestleMania (vs. Austin?), the Randy Orton vs. Christian match and State of Smackdown following a strong night, MITB match highlights, the overall PPV, and much more.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/wade-keller-pro-wrestling-podcast--3076978/support.
Viagra's Cancer Signal, TV's Toll on Your Brain, Heat and Accelerated Aging, and a New Way to Flush Your Brain Explained Viagra's Active Ingredient May Block Cancer From Spreading A study published in Cancer Research from the Weizmann Institute of Science, in collaboration with Clalit and the U.S. National Cancer Institute, found that sildenafil, the active ingredient in Viagra, may interfere with cancer cells' ability to metastasize by disrupting how they regulate cholesterol, a resource tumors need to detach and invade new tissue. The team combined mouse models and human cell cultures with more than twenty years of medical records covering roughly five million people, and found better survival outcomes among about forty thousand cancer patients who had taken sildenafil before diagnosis. Researchers also flagged a possible combination effect with statins. Host Dave Asprey breaks down why this cheap, off-patent drug class deserves more attention than it's getting, and where it fits alongside his own longevity protocol.

Men who watched more TV showed greater white matter damage and smaller frontal and occipital lobes, while women showed no such association. Critically, people with desk jobs that kept them sedentary all day did not show the same brain changes, and the TV association held even after adjusting for exercise levels. Host Dave Asprey unpacks why passive screen time, not sitting itself, may be the real driver here.

Short-term heat exposure moved one clock significantly, while exposure sustained over a full year or six years moved all major clocks, with extreme-caution heat days tied to nearly a three-year jump in one aging measure and a five percent faster overall aging pace on another. Researchers point to inflammation and stress signaling as likely drivers. Host Dave Asprey explains why this is a fundamentally different kind of heat story than the sauna and cold-plunge conversation biohackers are used to.

Global chicken populations have grown sevenfold since the 1960s to about 27 billion birds, and researchers identified genetic adaptations tied to antimicrobial resistance developing inside that population. Sixty to eighty percent of human Campylobacter infections trace back to raw chicken, with links to post-infectious IBS in some cases. Host Dave Asprey connects the dots between industrial farming density and the gut-health stakes for anyone who eats chicken.

In a study of thirty Parkinson's patients and thirty-three healthy controls, a single thirty-minute session produced measurable increases in blood levels of beta-amyloid, alpha-synuclein, and other waste proteins associated with neurodegeneration. The VA's Technology Transfer Program is now developing a patent and prototype device. Host Dave Asprey explains why this gives breathwork protocols a real physiological mechanism instead of just a hunch.

Host Dave Asprey connects clinical research, large-scale genomic data, and translational neuroscience into practical frameworks for improving longevity, gut health, and brain performance.
