This one gets personal. I share my story, growing up praised for performance, losing my athletic identity, spiraling into restriction, bingeing, and running myself into the ground. A coach tells me to lose weight, shame follows, and I chase “smaller” at all costs. The shift starts with one yes: a park workout. From there, I rebuilt myself. HIIT opens the door to movement; strength training changes everything. Lifting teaches me to take up space, eat for fuel, and measure progress by power, not a scale. I define what “enough” means on my terms.In this episode of Broads, I break down how mindset questions create momentum, why one decision beats perfection, and what real progress looks like, and spoiler: It's not what you've been told. If you feel stuck, this episode is your sign. Freedom is possible. Start with one yes, and watch every other part of your life follow!What's Discussed:(00:04) The moment I finally share my real story: the messy truth behind the highlight reel(14:32) The breaking point: when discipline was really just fear in disguise(20:51) The yes that changed everything (and why it wasn't about the workout)(28:10) How lifting 250 pounds rewired my brain about worth and confidence(43:56) The one decision that flips everything, from chasing smaller to claiming freedomThank You to Our Sponsors:Broads: Ready to ditch the BS and start feeling strong in your body?

In this episode, Dr. Stacy Sims returns for her fourth appearance on the podcast to share her latest insights into women's health, performance, and longevity. She clears up common misconceptions about aging and fitness, emphasizing the importance of foundational practices - sleep, nutrition, and consistent training - over chasing advanced supplements or quick fixes. Dr. Sims highlights the gender differences in exercise research, explains why women need tailored approaches to training, and explores how HIIT, resistance workouts, and structured year-round plans can transform strength and resilience. The discussion also covers gut health, menopause hormone therapy, protein timing, and strategies to keep young girls engaged in sports. KEY TAKEAWAYS Start with the basics – Sleep, nutrition, and consistency matter most for longevity. Female-specific research – Women need health and fitness strategies rooted in their physiology. Tailored training – HIIT, resistance, and recovery should shift with life stages. Hormonal health – Perimenopause and menopause impact performance and should be understood. Gut & supplements – Creatine, glutamine, and nutrition can support muscle, energy, and digestion.

While the downtime is frustrating, it's giving him space to reset his training and nutrition strategy.Protein-focused intermittent fasting: 180–200g of protein across 2 meals daily.Routine:3 full-body gym sessions (30 minutes, time under tension, circuit style).PT/rebounding on Tues & Thurs.Daily 1–2 mile walks.Planned HIIT trampoline sessions (not always done).Supplements: Glutathione patches boosted caloric expenditure and energy when used, but results declined after stopping.Routine stagnation: Same workouts/walks no longer elevate heart rate beyond Zone 2.Calorie balance: Needs ~1800–2000 calories daily to feel good, but weight loss requires dipping to ~1500, which tanks energy, hormones, and libido.Reluctant to adopt other cardio forms (boxing, yoga, pilates) despite potential benefits.Not interested in “outworking” calories with marathon-style activity like his brother's volleyball sessions.Red light therapy (Trifecta Light): Tried 12 sessions ($200 unlimited). Minimal personal results (slight arm nerve relief), but his 80-year-old mom noticed some weight loss. Brad is skeptical it's worth it for him long-term.Glutathione patches (Lifewave): Previously the best measurable boost on Whoop data, may revisit later.Testing over supplement overload: Pausing new supplement trials to focus on his own experiment with diet/training changes.Nutrition Shift:Move from 2 meals → 3 meals daily.Increase protein to 225–250g/day (all from real meat, no whey or pea protein).Lunch carries most carbs/fats, dinner focuses on salad + lean proteins (Mediterranean style: fish, chicken, crab, scallops).Maintain monthly 36–48 hour fasts for autophagy, while loosening daily fasting windows.Training Adjustments:Recommit to HIIT once per week (30s on/off on rebounder with vest, dumbbells, band, oxygen mask).Keep gym/rehab/walking structure, but recognize the need for stimulus change if progress stalls.Biohacker's Edge:Lean on protein-driven thermogenesis and added lean mass to naturally raise BMR.Hold off on glutathione patches until he proves the new plan works.If you're interested in online personal training or being a guest on my podcast, "Over 40 Fitness Hacks," you can reach me at brad@over40fitnesshacks.com or visit my website at:www.Over40FitnessHacks.comAdditionally, check out my Yelp reviews for my local business, Evolve Gym in Huntington Beach, at https://bit.ly/3GCKRzV

Sie dachte ständig ans Essen, musste ständig essen und fühlte sich dennoch nicht wohl und zufrieden. Nach der Lektüre von Dr. Jason Fung begann sie mit intermittierendem Fasten. Das war der erste Durchbruch, der ihr eine bessere Leistung ermöglichte. Dann begann sie mit Keto und kam schließlich zu Carnivore. Inzwischen fügt sie auch ab und an etwas Obst oder Nüsse hinzu, ist aber sehr dankbar, dass sie kaum Arbeit oder Dreck in der Küche mehr produziert.Durch Carnivore konnte sie ihr Hautbild verbessern und ihre Zufriedenheit mit dem eigenen Körper.________________________________________________Fleischzeit ist der erste deutschsprachige Podcast rund um die carnivore Ernährung.

(14:00) He asks Vinnie about stretching and flexibility. Vinnie understands the benefits of fasting, but his concern is that it should be done healthily so it doesn't become disordered eating. (22:00) Mike is the next guest and shares his background, including his experience with Type 1 diabetes. (27:00) He was following the suggested protocol from nutritionists, but was gaining weight. He went full-on NSNG® and lost 60 pounds in approximately three months. They discuss Zone 2 training as a form of glucose control, and also HIIT training. (40:00) You will achieve more lean body mass by doing strength training as opposed to just aerobics. (43:00) Sherry joins in. (47:00) She had tried Plexus, which is an MLM product. Vinnie explains the difference between cheating and “life into living.” (51:00) Sherry lost her husband to diabetes and other complications. He ate whatever and whenever he wanted, and relied on taking insulin to "fix" him. She has also noticed her autoimmune flare-ups (Hashimoto's) have reduced.

Send us a textIs more HIIT always better? Dr. Angela breaks down what the science really shows—and what it doesn't—about high-intensity interval training after 40. Most trials that find big benefits use three sessions per week or fewer and consistently show improved fitness, cardiometabolic markers, and reductions in overall fat mass. But there's no direct evidence that cranking HIIT beyond that helps midlife women (or men) lose more fat, and none proving it harms hormones either. In this episode, Dr. Angela defines HIIT clearly, explains why perimenopause changes fat distribution, and lays out a balanced weekly plan: strength as the anchor, Zone 2 for your aerobic base, and HIIT used like hot sauce—powerful, not daily. Plus simple recovery guardrails to know when to pull back.

If you're interested in boosting your cardiovascular fitness, I've got three steps for you to do. Your cardiovascular fitness - VO2 max - is the most powerful predictor of longevity. Together with your lower body strength, they will tell the story of your future. What is VO2 max? Oxygen consumed in milliliters per kilogram per minute. Strongest predictor of longevity, alongside lower body strength. VO2 Max and muscle mass peaks typically at age 25, with studies suggesting an average annual reduction of about 1% after. Increasing your VO2 max can significantly increase your longevity. It can reduce all-cause mortality by 10-25%. Just going from low to above-average fitness levels can reduce mortality risk by 60-70% over a decade. The 3 Steps to Improve Cardio Fitness 1. Long slow aerobic exercise Walking, hiking, biking, swimming. Work just below threshold (can talk, slightly breathy). 80% of the time will be spent here. 20% should be spent doing HIIT or strength training. 2. High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) 10-15% improvement in 5-10 weeks 15–30 seconds of breathless effort (sprinting effect). Breathless in 30 seconds or less. 3. Strength training Improves muscle, may enhance your body composition or weight Improving both your fitness (oxygen delivery and use) and reducing weight means your ml/kg/min will go up as you consume more oxygen with less body weight .. and even if you don't lose weight your muscle is metabolically active and consumes oxygen while fat doesn't. So let's come back to the value of VO2 for reducing all cause mortality. A modest increase of 3.5 ml/kg/min (1 MET) is all it takes to reduce all-cause mortality by up to 25%. How do you know your Cardio Fitness is improving? Short of getting a VO2 max test, you can measure in other ways: Resting heart rate – first thing in morning Recovery heart rate at end of interval and one minute later One-mile walk test Why Muscle Still Matters? More muscle = higher oxygen demand → better VO2 Max. Fat mass doesn't contribute to oxygen use. Muscle quality declines with age → requires smarter training, especially during menopause.

Ever wondered if you're pushing hard enough in your workouts- or maybe too hard? The answer might be hiding in your heart rate. In this episode, we're breaking down heart rate training zones and what they mean for cardio, HIIT, and strength training, especially for women in midlife.You'll learn:Why heart rate is more than just a number on your watchThe difference between training with % of max heart rate vs. Heart Rate Reserve (HRR)How to calculate your own HRR for personalized zonesWhat heart rate typically looks like in strength training (hint: it's not about staying in a zone!)Quick HRR Example:For a 45-year-old woman with a resting heart rate of 65:Max HR ≈ 220 – 45 = 175 BPMHRR = 175 – 65 = 110Zone 2 (60–70%) = (110 × 0.60) + 65 → 131 BPMup to (110 × 0.70) + 65 → 142 BPMSo instead of a wide guess (105–123 BPM), her true Zone 2 range is 131–142 BPM.Heart Rate Zones (% of Max HR):Zone 1 (50–60%): Easy effort, recovery walksZone 2 (60–70%): Brisk walk, steady cycling; best for fat metabolism & enduranceZone 3 (70–80%): Moderate cardio; jogging, dance fitnessZone 4 (80–90%): Hard effort; sprints, hill repeatsZone 5 (90–100%): All-out bursts; short HIIT intervalsBy the end of this episode, you'll know exactly how to use your heart rate as a tool- not a guess, so you can get the most out of every workout without burning out.
In Episode 19 of The Luke Coutinho Show, we understand the confusion around HIIT and Tabata workouts. From fat loss and stamina to heart health and metabolism, discover how each method transforms your fitness.

Most people who “lift weights” aren't actually strength training—and that's why they're not seeing results. In this episode, we break down:✅ What real strength training is (and isn't)✅ The science of how muscle actually gets stronger✅ Why random workouts, HIIT circuits, and chasing calorie burn keep you stuck✅ The 5 non-negotiables every strength program needs: progressive overload, fundamental lifts, structure, effort, and recovery✅ The life-changing benefits of building strength (beyond just looking good)If you've ever wondered why your workouts aren't paying off—or how to actually get stronger—this one's for you.

Dynamic Aging Retreat Oct 3-5 2025This Episode's Show NotesJoin Our Newsletter: Movement Colored GlassesIn this episode, Katy Bowman and Jeannette Loram dive into the fascinating relationship between blood sugar, diet, and movement. They unpack how the body regulates blood sugar, what happens when this process breaks down in Type I and Type II diabetes, and why different kinds of activity play such a big role in prevention and management.Katy and Jeannette explain how contracting muscles can pull glucose directly into working cells during exercise—a powerful but site-specific effect—and how long-term training reshapes muscle to take up glucose more efficiently.They also compare the blood sugar benefits of endurance exercise, resistance training, HIIT, stretching, and even light daily movement. Along the way, they highlight two key scenarios: insulin resistance linked to excess weight and inflammation, versus insulin resistance driven by low muscle mass in people with normal weight. For the latter, they stress why resistance training—or “big body work”—is especially essential.CHAPTERS 0:06:00 - Definitions 0:16:00 - The Dynamic Collective 0:17:00 - You Can't Exercise Off Diabetes 0:20:00 - Muscle is the Key Tissue (and the Liver)0:36:30 - Stretching & Light Activity 0:47:00 - Exercise Modality for Blood Sugar Regulation0:54:25 - Listener Question on Lupus brought to you by Peluva 1:09:09 - Blood Sugar Spikes During Exercise BOOKS & RESEARCH PAPERS My Perfect Movement Plan by Katy BowmanI know I should Exercise, But... by Diana Hill & Katy BowmanExercise and GLUT4 by Flores-Opazo et al (2020) Mechanisms of endurance and resistance exercise in type 2 diabetes by Zhao et al (2025) Sedentary behaviour as a mediator of type 2 diabetes by Hamilton et al (2015) Impact of reduced sitting time or increasing sit-to-stand transitions on blood pressure and glucose regulation in Postmenopausal women by Hartman et al (2025) The impact of standing desks on cardiometabolic and vascular health by Bodker et al (2021) MADE POSSIBLE BY OUR WONDERFUL SPONSORS:Sweet Skins, organic hemp and cotton clothing that is stylish, flexible and designed to move with you, take 20% off with code Movement20Peluva, Five-toe minimalist sports shoes ideal for walking and higher impact activities.

Today's episode is a deep-dive recap of my mind-blowing conversation with Dr. Paul Laursen — one of the world's top experts in exercise physiology, high-intensity interval training (HIIT), and fat-adapted performance. If you've ever wondered: Why you feel better fat-fueled than carb-loaded How diet actually drives fat loss more than training Why ketones might be more than a fuel — and actually a proxy for VO₂ max How to optimize your metabolic flexibility using HIIT and protein-forward nutrition …this episode will change how you see your body composition journey — especially if you've been trying to out-exercise a poor diet.
On day 1 of fasting, glycogen is eliminated from the body. Your insulin drops on your first day of fasting, allowing you to tap into your fat reserve. Electrolytes, trace minerals, and B vitamins can be very beneficial during prolonged fasting, especially if you haven't built up a reserve of these nutrients. You can drink tea and coffee without cream or sugar and have water with lemon during your 5-day fast. Plenty of sun, long walks in nature, hot and cold therapy, and HIIT can also enhance the benefits of prolonged fasting. On day 2 of prolonged fasting, you get deeper into ketosis, which means your body burns fat for energy. Autophagy typically begins on the second day of prolonged fasting. This is the process in which the body recycles damaged proteins and uses them for fuel and new tissues. On day 3, brain function and mood continue to improve. BDNF is stimulated, which helps support brain cell regeneration and increases your learning capacity. You also enter a state of deep autophagy, which helps repair mitochondrial damage and clean up intracellular pathogens. On day 3 of a prolonged fast, your immune system essentially resets.Prolonged fasting supports the growth of the thymus gland and allows the gut lining to regenerate completely. People often experience a massive spike in growth hormone on day 3, which protects against muscle loss.On day 4, hunger is gone, and maximum fat burning occurs! Bone broth can be beneficial if you're struggling through a 5-day fast or experiencing a stressful event. Longevity and protective genes are heightened, and your antioxidant networks are strengthened during prolonged fasting. It can also help diversify your microbiome. Slowly begin the refeeding process with around ¼ of your typical calories. Try an egg with sauerkraut, and then wait a few hours before consuming something like a small amount of soup with avocado. After a few more hours, consume berries and nuts. Wait before introducing a full meal and avoid sugar and carbohydrates. High-quality food is vital at this time!After a 5-day fast, your skin, muscles, joints, and brain will show significant improvements! Regular intermittent fasting can help prepare you for a 5-day fast. Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio:Dr. Berg, age 60, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis & Intermittent Fasting. He is the Director of Dr. Berg Nutritionals and author of the best-selling book The Healthy Keto Plan. He no longer practices, but focuses on health education through social media.

Episode 3079: Eric Leija breaks down the pros and cons of LISS and HIIT, revealing that while HIIT offers faster fat loss and aerobic gains in less time, LISS may be more sustainable and supportive of muscle preservation. The takeaway: the most effective cardio is the one you'll actually stick with, consistency beats intensity if enjoyment is missing. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.ericleija.com/liss-vs-hiit-which-approach-is-better-for-fat-loss/ Quotes to ponder: "While HIIT may be more effective for fat loss, it's not a good long-term strategy if you dread the activity so much you avoid it." "One study found that it took around 6-8 weeks of LISS to achieve the same amount of aerobic endurance (VO2 max) improvement seen in just 2 weeks of consistent HIIT." "While a 20 minute HIIT workout can burn as many calories as a 40-60 minute LISS workout, the HIIT exercise also boosts your metabolism for up to 24 hours afterward."
