Is whey protein really superior to plant-based protein powders for building muscle? It's a claim that still pops up constantly in fitness spaces: that whey protein is the “gold standard” for muscle growth, while plant proteins are somehow inferior. In this mini solo episode, I break down the science behind this belief and explain why the research does not support the idea that whey protein is better than plant-based protein powders for building muscle. This episode was inspired by a recent conversation in a WhatsApp group where someone suggested that whey protein is “better” because of faster absorption, superior amino acid profile, and greater effectiveness for muscle gain. But when we actually look at the evidence, studies comparing plant proteins like soy and pea protein to whey show no meaningful difference in muscle mass or strength gains when combined with resistance training. For athletes, gym-goers, and anyone trying to increase protein intake, plant proteins are a perfectly effective alternative without using animal products, and the environmental concerns associated with dairy.

James Talarico, a Texas Democrat and seminarian, has drawn conservative ire for his progressive interpretations of Scripture, often using biblical teachings to advocate for social justice issues like LGBTQ+ rights and women's equality. He has preached that Jesus exemplified feminist principles by affirming women's roles and dignity in a patriarchal society, challenging traditional norms through interactions like those with the Samaritan woman. Additionally, Talarico has controversially stated that God is nonbinary, drawing from biblical ideas that divinity transcends gender. This approach is dangerous, as it risks distorting core Christian doctrines to fit modern political agendas, just as the apostle Paul warned in 2 Timothy 4:3-4: "For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear." WE ALSO COVER: White House explains oil prices.

Women remain under-represented in organised sport in Australia, both on and off the field. In 2024, while women made up 50 per cent of the total population, only about 24 per cent participated in weekly sport. Representation in leadership roles was also limited with around 43 per cent of team managers and 36 per cent of coaches or instructors as women. In this first episode of the 'IWD 2026' podcast series, three Australian sports leaders of Indian origin discuss the progress and ongoing challenges in women's sports.

Advocates working to accurately portray Native Americans in the K-12 education system in Texas scored a victory when the State Board of Education renewed a curriculum that was years in the making. The approval came at a time when the Trump administration and state officials pushed hard to scrub any hint of diversity from public school classrooms. Among other things, opponents of the Texas Native Studies course worried instruction about the Catholic Church's role in Indian Boarding Schools might demoralize Christian students. We'll look at what saved the Texas lessons and get a status update on some other states wrestling with efforts to accurately depict Native Americans throughout history.

Antifragile Emotions: Build a Life That Gains from Disorder by Sidney Anderson Ph.D. https://www.amazon.com/Antifragile-Emotions-Build-Gains-Disorder/dp/1971262005 In Antifragile Emotions, Sidney Anderson, Ph.D. applies the concept of antifragility to emotional life, offering a transformative approach to building emotional systems that grow stronger through difficulty. Moving beyond resilience, the author shows how to develop emotional capacity that doesn't just withstand life's challenges but thrives on them. Traditional wellness advice emphasizes managing stress, processing trauma, and returning to baseline. But this approach creates fragility when life inevitably delivers loss, rejection, uncertainty, and failure. The antifragile emotional system uses controlled exposure to stressors, multiple sources of meaning, and systematic capacity building to extract value from difficulty rather than merely survive it. Drawing on research into how people respond to major life disruptions, Antifragile Emotions reveals why some people emerge from difficulty genuinely stronger while others remain fragile. It examines the emotional barbell strategy, building redundancy, “skin in the game,” hormesis, and optionality. Readers will discover how to use anger as calibration, extract information from anxiety, build life structures with no single points of failure, and develop emotional range.

Get Started With Muscle Activation Techniques® To Loosen Your Tight & Achy Muscles Without Stretching: https://www.matschaumburg.com There is a lot of information out there about what it takes to get stronger and this is something we have spoken about often, as well.

In a recent study, two groups followed the exact same cycling training plan—same sessions, same hours, same effort. Yet one group improved their VO₂ max by 8.7%, while the other improved by just 4.6%. The difference? Cadence.For years, elite coaches working with some of the world's best riders have quietly prescribed this specific cadence-focused session. In this episode, we break down the science behind the study, why cadence changes the physiological response to training, and how this often-missed workout could help you unlock major cycling gains.Here's the link to the study Anthony talks about - https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0311833&utmA BIG shoutout to our incredible sponsors - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Parlee Cycles ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠"Whether it's a tough day, a gruelling training session, an epic road trip or sitting on the side of the road, exhausted and wondering how you'll get to the top...

Iron Radio: Nutrition Knowledge, Diet Quality, and Where Athletes Get Their Info On Iron Radio, hosts Coach Phil Stevens and Dr. Lonnie Lowery discuss how heavy training taxes recovery, then focus on athlete nutrition knowledge and diet quality using a Current Developments in Nutrition editorial summarizing six articles. They note adolescents often get nutrition info from social media, with athletes valuing credible sources more and viewing food as fuel, while non-athletes see food as social. They discuss YouTube as a major information source and how expert content may lack trust-building communication compared to non-experts. A study in Ireland found sensory appeal as the top driver of food choice even in active populations. Data from Florida State Division I cross-country athletes showed inadequate carbs, calcium, and vitamin D, but adequate protein, fat, and iron, alongside poor overall diet quality. They also cover Iranian bodybuilders' supplement use patterns and debate how veteran strength athletes simplify supplement choices. 00:00 Show Intro and Hosts 00:35 Meet Prep and Big Lifts 01:30 Squat vs Deadlift Grind 03:01 Risk and Willpower 04:00 Lonnie Background and Credentials 05:01 Today Topic and Upcoming Guests 06:39 Athletes Nutrition Knowledge 08:12 Social Media and Mentors 10:23 YouTube Experts vs Influencers 12:11 Taste Drives Food Choices 14:17 Athlete Fuel Mindset 15:44 Learning to Eat for Gains 16:47 Taste Preferences Get Skewed 17:38 New Podcast Feed 18:48 Mike Nelson Newsletter 19:27 Supplements Book Update 20:35 Runner Diet Quality Study 23:12 Elite Sport vs Health 27:27 Bodybuilder Supplement Habits 31:59 Old School Protein Tales 34:29 Athletes More Mindful 35:04 Wrap Up and Disclaimer Donate to the show via PayPal HERE.You can also join Dr Mike's Insider Newsletter for more info on how to add muscle, improve your performance and body comp - all without destroying your health, go to www.ironradiodrmike.com Thank you!Phil, Jerrell, Mike T, and Lonnie

Episode Summary In this episode, Joe sits down with Nicholas Poletto, Vice President of Wine Education at Kobrand Fine Wine & Spirits. Nick shares his unconventional journey into the wine world—starting from a job he hated, to selling wine in Manhattan, to moving to New Zealand to learn winemaking, and ultimately becoming one of the most respected wine educators in the industry. The conversation covers how he discovered his passion for wine, what his job really entails (both the romantic and the gritty parts), his pursuit of the elite Master of Wine title, and why the people in the wine industry make it all worthwhile. Nick also paints a vivid picture of what he calls the most romantic wine destination on earth. Whether you're a wine lover, a curious professional, or someone dreaming about a career in wine, this episode is packed with inspiration and insider perspective. Key Topics & Highlights Nick's Unlikely Origin Story His first "real job" was a miserable relocation-company gig in a windowless office. A coworker suggested the wine industry because he loved languages and travel. His first wine experience? Volunteering for a tiny New Hampshire winery on weekends. Within six months he was selling wine in New York City. Breaking Into Wine Sales Started in 100% commission sales — "what you kill is what you eat." A pivotal moment: losing a major sales opportunity because he didn't know what Sancerre was. That failure became the turning point that drove him to pursue formal education through WSET. Education Changed Everything WSET opened the door to Bordeaux, Burgundy, Italy, and beyond. Once he gained knowledge, accounts started calling him — his "aha" moment. Led him to teach WSET and build a strong foundation in wine theory. A Life-Changing Leap Despite big earnings, Nick quit his job to move to New Zealand and learn winemaking firsthand. Worked in vineyards, scrubbed tanks, explored the entire country. Returned to the U.S. and joined Kobrand, eventually becoming VP of Wine Education. What a Wine Educator Really Does Trains distributor sales teams across the entire U.S. Teaches eight-hour seminars (intermediate + advanced). Creates educational materials, books, presentations, and a training podcast. Travels extensively domestically and internationally to visit producers. Gains rare behind‑the‑scenes access at wineries, vineyards, and cellars. The Glamorous Side (Yes, There Is One) Visiting world-class estates around the globe. Foot-treading grapes, learning barrel-making, touring historic caves. Experiencing local cuisine with winemakers — the true insider version. Witnessing wine regions in their natural beauty: Rhone cliffs, Douro terraces, Piedmont hills. Nick's First Wine Love: Barolo The region of Barolo in Piedmont gave him his personal "Aha!" wine moment. A vineyard tasting showed him how wines made identically can taste completely different due to terroir just 10 feet apart. That realization cemented his lifelong passion. The Most Romantic Wine Destination: Beaune, France Nick's pick for the most magical spot in the wine world: The village of Beaune in Burgundy. Cobblestone streets, markets, fireside cafés, truffle-centered cuisine. A perfect bicycle route through legendary villages like Volnay, Pommard, and Montrachet. An unforgettable day of bread, cheese, vineyard views, and world-class Pinot Noir & Chardonnay. So You Want Nick's Job? Start with education (WSET, Society of Wine Educators, Court of Master Sommeliers). Get frontline experience with a distributor to understand the sales side. Be prepared for travel, airports, long days, and lots of time away from home. The reward? A job filled with passion, authenticity, and incredible people.

In this Schiff Gold Friday Market Wrap, Peter Schiff breaks down the explosive start to 2026 for precious metals after a historic 2025: gold surged, silver and platinum ripped higher, and mining stocks finally confirmed the bull market by outperforming the metals. Peter explains why this is no longer “just a gold story,” why silver's breakout likely reset support far above the old $50 ceiling, and why miners still look cheap despite massive gains.

Today we are talking about a policy idea that keeps resurfacing around the world, taxing unrealized gains.If you have ever underwritten a deal, you already know the difference between a gain on paper and cash in the bank. Unrealized gains are accounting gains. They exist because an asset is worth more today than it was yesterday, at least according to some valuation method. But until you sell the asset, refinance it, or otherwise monetize it, that gain is not cash flow. It is potential.In the Netherlands, there is proposed legislation that would tax unrealized capital gains. It is being discussed under the umbrella of reforming “Box 3,” the part of the Dutch personal income tax system that applies to savings and investments. The Dutch lower house adopted a bill on February 12, 2026, often referred to as the Box 3 Actual Return Act, with an intended effective date of January 1, 2028, although the Finance Minister has already indicated amendments may be needed and that Senate approval is uncertain. So why is the Netherlands going down this road? Because their current system has been under pressure for years.Historically, Box 3 taxed investors based on a deemed return, a fictitious assumed rate of return, rather than what someone actually earned. When interest rates were near zero, people with cash savings were taxed as if they were earning healthy investment returns. Courts rejected that approach, and the government has been trying to craft a replacement. In response, a bill was advanced to move from deemed returns to “actual return.” The catch is in how “actual return” is defined.  Under the bill the system would tax actual annual returns at a flat rate, and that includes value increases that have not been realized through sale, in other words, unrealized gains. -------------**Real Estate Espresso Podcast:** Spotify: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://open.spotify.com/show/3GvtwRmTq4r3es8cbw8jW0?si=c75ea506a6694ef1)   iTunes: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-real-estate-espresso-podcast/id1340482613)   Website: [www.victorjm.com](http://www.victorjm.com)   LinkedIn: [Victor Menasce](http://www.linkedin.com/in/vmenasce)   YouTube: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](http://www.youtube.com/@victorjmenasce6734)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/realestateespresso](http://www.facebook.com/realestateespresso)   Email: [podcast@victorjm.com](mailto:podcast@victorjm.com)  **Y Street Capital:** Website: [www.ystreetcapital.com](http://www.ystreetcapital.com)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital](https://www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital)   Instagram: [@ystreetcapital](http://www.instagram.com/ystreetcapital)  

Silver is breaking out, and Michael Oliver says the move may be entering an acceleration phase with most gains potentially arriving by summer. In this Sprott Money Monthly Wrap-Up, Craig Hemke and Oliver (Momentum Structural Analysis) discuss the unusual late-month trading disruption, why attempts to restrain markets can create a “compression effect,” and how that could fuel explosive upside in silver, including his long-term $300–$500 outlook. They also cover gold's strength and its breakout versus the S&P, why spread breakouts often mark the beginning of a larger trend, and why miners may be “reborn” as they reprice higher relative to gold alongside silver's improving performance versus gold.

If your week-to-week visuals suddenly tank, you're not “still growing”—you're stacking dieting debt. In this episode, we break down the earliest signs your growth phase has stopped being productive—especially the visual shift that tells you fat gain is outpacing muscle. We also cover how prep timelines get ruined, which health/sleep markers matter most, and why “holding” (maintenance) is often the smarter move before the next push. If you want an offseason you can actually cash in on, this is the decision process. If you want more episodes like this — where we translate research into practical coaching decisions — subscribe and follow along each week.

This episode, Jon and Patrick sit down to talk about the future of Meatgistics, including its growth, community momentum, and the potential for an exciting redesign. They jump into a snack stick taste test, trying out Fajita and Tex Mex flavors to see which one earns the top spot. Things take a hilarious turn as they blindly rank animals by assumed IQ, leading to some questionable (and entertaining) choices. They also touch on the recent USA hockey accomplishments at the Winter Olympics and wrap things up with their thoughts on the new Dr Pepper Johnsonville brat. It's a fun mix of meat talk, redesign ideas, flavor testing, and off‑the‑wall rankings.

Are you looking to save time, make money, and start winning with less risk? Then head to https://www.ovtlyr.com.What does it actually look like to take 37,000 trades in a year… and still finish with a 230% return?In this conversation, Forte opens up about what high-level scalping really demands. Not the highlight reel. Not the rented supercar narrative. The real, gritty version that includes drawdowns, emotional mistakes, and constant adaptation.At 29 years old, Forte finished sixth in the U.S. Investing Championship with a verified 230% return in a single year. His focus? Ultra-fast scalps in U.S. equities, often holding positions for under 60 seconds. Some days it's 200 trades. Other days it's 600. Fully manual execution. Tight risk. No autopilot.What makes this powerful is the transparency.There's honest talk about taking a 40% drawdown. About hesitating on exits. About how even after years in the market, emotional discipline can slip for a moment and cost real money. The discussion goes deep into studying Market Wizards, Jesse Livermore, and why reading about other traders blowing up might be the fastest way to avoid doing it yourself.Inside this conversation:✅ Why stocks trending up on the daily chart are easier to scalp✅ How position sizing expands only when a real edge appears✅ Why two losing months can still be completely normal✅ The myth of consistent monthly income from trading✅ How mental resilience separates average traders from competitorsOne theme stands out. There is no timeless strategy. Markets evolve. Edges fade. What worked last year might stop next month. The only constant is discipline, adaptability, and cutting losses without hesitation.Forte also shares insights on execution costs, liquidity traps, illiquid stocks, and the psychological pressure of competing publicly with verified results.If you're serious about day trading, scalping, and building a durable edge in the stock market, this conversation will challenge how you think about consistency, risk, and long-term survival.Watch it all the way through.

Rest periods are one of the most ignored parts of training, and they're often the reason you're exhausted but not actually getting stronger. This episode of Broads is about removing the guesswork. We break down what rest periods do, why more sweat doesn't equal better results, and how mismatching your rest to your goal can stall progress without you realizing it. If your lifts feel inconsistent, your workouts feel randomly hard or way too easy, or you're spending forever in the gym without seeing results, your rest between sets might be the missing piece. That's what this episode is all about. What's Discussed: (00:48) Why rest periods are an overlooked driver of strength and muscle gains (03:25) ATP, creatine phosphate, and what actually recovers between sets (05:03) How rest determines strength, hypertrophy, or endurance outcomes (06:51) Why heavy lifts require three to five minutes of rest (07:46) Using shorter rest to create metabolic stress for muscle growth (09:13) How short rest trains fatigue tolerance and muscular endurance (10:52) What breaks when rest is too short or too long (15:41) Why timing rest separates training from random workouts Head to https://www.broads.app/broadscoach and apply for BroadsCOACH.

Do you love endurance training AND want to build muscle, but you've been told you have to pick one?The "cardio kills gains" claim has been around for decades, and if you're over 40, it can feel like an impossible tradeoff between the activities you enjoy and the strength training your body needs.However, the "interference effect" on hypertrophy is negligible when sessions are structured correctly, and adults over 40 might have an advantage.Philip breaks down the evidence-based programming rules that let you combine strength training and endurance without compromising either. You'll learn about the session timing strategy backed by research, why running and cycling create different types of interference, the specific protein and carbohydrate targets concurrent trainees need (especially after 40), and how to monitor recovery so you know when to push hard and when to back off. If you want to stay strong, fit, and healthy for decades through both lifting weights and endurance work, this is your roadmap.Shoutout to listeners Richard G. (60+, cyclist) and Gerwyn (56, runner and cyclist) who both asked how to optimally balance endurance sports with strength training and nutrition.Try the Fitness Lab app to get daily adaptive coaching that adjusts your strength training and endurance programming week to week based on your priorities and recovery.

In today's episode, Tom sits down with co-host Drew to unpack the Dutch government's controversial proposal: a 36% tax on unrealized capital gains. Together, they dive deep into the potential consequences for investors, entrepreneurs, and the broader economy—explaining how taxing money you never actually receive could force harmful decisions, crush incentives, and reshape the landscape for startups and long-term investments. You'll hear examples that bring these abstract policies to life, why real estate and certain startup investments get exemptions, and the possible ripple effects for both average investors and major players like Elon Musk. Plus, Tom lays out his vision for a simpler, fairer tax system to solve the core issues plaguing economies today. If you're curious about wealth taxes, economic reform, and the real-world impact of government policies, this conversation is a must-listen. Tom and Drew dive into the controversial property tax hike proposed by Zoran Mamdani in New York City—a move that arrives less than two months after Mamdani campaigned on freezing rents and protecting working-class New Yorkers. Together, Tom Bilyeu and Drew break down how NYC's budget has ballooned over the past two decades, while city services and quality of life have declined. Tom and co-host Drew dive into one of the most urgent and tense global topics—are we on the brink of World War III? With U.S., Iranian, Russian, and Chinese warships converging off Iran's coast, negotiations over nuclear deals underway, and military buildups at unprecedented levels, Tom breaks down the complex web of alliances, threats, and geopolitical maneuvers that are fueling anxiety worldwide.
