Matt delves into Heart Rate Variability (HRV), the subtle variation in timing between each heartbeat. He explains that a healthy heart is like a "jazz drummer," not a rigid metronome, and a higher HRV reflects a resilient body that can adeptly balance its stress and rest systems. This episode unpacks the science behind HRV and explores the actionable strategies you can employ to improve this critical marker of your overall health.Matt then explores the key lifestyle factors that significantly influence your HRV. He highlights sleep as the most powerful tool for nightly recalibration, explaining how even moderate sleep loss can suppress HRV. The discussion also covers how exercise, especially HIIT, boosts adaptability, and how stress management techniques can calm the system's "static noise." Finally, he touches on the importance of a consistent circadian rhythm and avoiding substances like alcohol to protect your heart's healthy variability.Please note that Matt is not a medical doctor, and none of the content in this podcast should be considered medical advice in any way, shape, or form, nor prescriptive in any way.Craving more energy, better metabolism, and immunity?

¿Sabías que tu intestino no solo reacciona a lo que comes… sino también a cómo te mueves? El tipo de ejercicio que haces puede transformar tu microbiota: aumentar bacterias buenas, mejorar la producción de energía y hasta reforzar tu barrera intestinal. Pero ojo: no todos los entrenamientos tienen los mismos efectos. Hoy vamos a comparar HIIT, cardio suave, cardio intenso y fuerza para descubrir qué impacto real tienen en tu microbiota intestinal.
High-intensity interval training (HIIT) improves health without weight loss. Research shows that short high-intensity workouts boost cardiovascular health, and reduce body fat HIIT also increased HDL cholesterol levels, lowered blood pressure, and improved peak oxygen consumption (VO2peak) in overweight teens Prediabetics also benefit from HIIT. Analysis shows it outperformed continuous aerobic training by improving insulin sensitivity, glucose processing, and creating more energy-producing mitochondria Moderation is key for safety. An expert recommends limiting high-intensity exercise to 75 minutes weekly and strength training to 40 to 60 minutes weekly to avoid diminishing returns and health risks Effective sessions include a three-minute warmup, six minutes of high-intensity cardio, and combining cardio with strength training twice weekly
Biohacking, klingt nach Fokus, Energie und Leistung.Aber viele dieser Tools funktionieren bei Frauen anders als bei Männern.Kälte, Fasten, Keto, Koffein, HIIT, all das kann bei Frauen hormonellen Stress auslösen, wenn du es nicht an deinen Zyklus und deine Biologie anpasst.In diesem Video zeige ich dir: - warum Frauen anders auf Biohacks reagieren - welche 5 Hacks du unbedingt anpassen solltest - und wie du sie richtig nutzt, um Energie, Hormone & Balance zu stärkenIch bin Laura Kohler, studierte Neurobiologin & Health Coach, und ich zeige dir hier, wie du mit deinem Körper arbeitest, nicht gegen ihn.✨Unverbindliche Sprechstunde

Most training advice skips the unsexy steps and sprints straight to sweat. We flip the script with a clear, usable hierarchy that protects your body, multiplies your gains, and keeps you training for years: robustness first, strength second, aerobic third, and anaerobic last. You'll hear why you can't build performance on dysfunction, how simple daily activation changes your ceiling, and where strength slots in to help joints share load instead of take the hit.We walk through real examples—from older adults who want to lift grandkids without fear to athletes who need to decelerate and change direction at speed—and show how mobility, control, and technique become the bridge between rehab and heavy training. Then we map out the aerobic base that actually supports recovery and long-term heart health, and explain why HIIT should be the icing on a well-baked cake, not the batter itself. Along the way, we dig into pain as useful feedback, share how to scale load with confidence, and outline a weekly structure that survives busy schedules without sacrificing progress.You'll leave with a practical blueprint: get assessed, target weak links with daily robustness work, build strength you can use, expand your engine with steady efforts, and only then push peak output. It's a smarter path to longevity, resilience, and performance—whether your “event” is a Saturday hike, a local triathlon, or simply pain-free play with the kids. If this helps re-order your week for the better, tap follow, share it with a mate who keeps getting niggles, and leave a quick review so more people can train without breaking.
Thriving through Menopause with Fitness, Fat Loss and a Focused Mind
Are you working out faithfully but still staring at stubborn belly fat that won't budge? You're not alone — and it's not your effort, it's your approach. In this episode of The Menopause Makeover Podcast, Coach Kris (a.k.a. "Honey") breaks down three science-backed reasons midlife women stop losing weight — even when they're exercising consistently. Drawing from Dr. Stacy Sims' research and years of menopause fitness coaching, Kris explains why traditional cardio might actually be slowing your fat loss and what to do instead. You'll learn: ✅ Why long, steady-state cardio (Zone 2) isn't the best way to burn fat or balance hormones after 40 ✅ How adding intensity through HIIT and SIT workouts helps your body adapt, build muscle, and reignite fat burning ✅ Why recovery matters more than ever — and how over-training raises cortisol, stalls weight loss, and drains energy ✅ The surprising brain benefits of interval training: sharper focus, better mood, and stronger memory If your workouts feel harder but your belly fat isn't budging, this episode will show you how to train smarter — not longer — to support your hormones, metabolism, and energy in menopause.
In this episode of the Ageless Future Podcast, Cade Archibald explores how white adipose tissue (white fat) can be transformed into metabolically active brown fat to improve energy, fat loss, and overall health. He explains how excess white fat impairs mitochondrial function and nitric oxide production—two keys to aging and vitality. Cade discusses practical strategies like cold exposure, high-intensity interval training (HIIT), and mitochondrial-boosting peptides (including MOTS-c, Epitalon, and Adipotide). He also reviews a fascinating animal study showing Adipotide reduced abdominal fat by 27% and improved insulin sensitivity by 50% in just 28 days. Listeners are challenged to try cold showers, HIIT, and energy tracking for better metabolic function and cellular health.www.agelessfuture.comLIKE/FOLLOW/SUBSCRIBE:YouTube -https://www.youtube.com/@ReganArchibald / https://www.youtube.com/@Ageless.FutureInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/ageless.future/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AgelessFutureHealth/

Ladies… these are the worst menopause myths of 2025 that are completely screwing up your hormones and fat loss. From testosterone pellets gone wrong to the fasting wars and fake GLP-1 "supplement" scams — I'm breaking down what's actually true, and what's just influencer fear-mongering. Here's what we cover
This week's episode is a little spooky, a little silly, and a whole lot of sexy. Since Halloween is tomorrow, we're bringing you a “Trick or Treat: Smash or Pass” edition of Pillow Talks. We're running through a list of playful, sometimes weird, and definitely conversation-starting ideas for you and your partner to try in the bedroom (or… maybe not). From holding water in your mouth during a BJ to wrapping your partner up like a mummy to switching positions every 60 seconds like it's a HIIT workout… nothing is off-limits in this one. Some ideas are pure gold, some are questionable at best, and a few? Let's just say they're better left in the graveyard of “good intentions.”
This episode explains heat-shock proteins and practical ways to trigger them—sauna, brief cold exposure (50–60°F for 1–5 minutes), short intense exercise, intermittent fasting, and phytochemicals like curcumin and broccoli-sprout–derived sulforaphane. Hosts connect HSPs and daily habits to hormone balance, noting how ultra-processed carbs and chronic stress drive insulin, cortisol, thyroid, and leptin dysregulation. Takeaways: clean up nutrition, test—not guess—when symptoms persist, and start the day with a protein-forward breakfast instead of sugar.Get a FREE copy of Health, Hope & Freedom: https://sherwood.tv/For Kingdom Products visit: https://shop.fmidr.com/Interested in becoming a patient? https://fmidr.com/plans/Our privacy policy & disclaimer apply to this video.

This week I'm joined by Joe Holder: performance specialist, Nike Master Trainer, and wellness educator who's worked with everyone from Victoria's Secret models to elite athletes, for a conversation that will completely reframe how you think about health and fitness. We get into why workouts don't always need to be so hard (and how training too intensely can actually make you look and feel worse), the real reason women sometimes get “puffy” from exercise, and how applying a “dose mentality” can optimize results without obsession. Joe breaks down the importance of recovery, why the HIIT revolution did more harm than good, and how physical resiliency builds mental toughness. We also dive into the psychology of wellness including orthorexia, body dysmorphia, and how to pursue health without letting it consume you—plus intuitive eating, carb cycling, and his simple, grounded hacks for starting the day with presence and balance.This episode is brought to you by Bellami Hair, Boncharge, Field of Greens, Just Thrive, Fatty15, Ro Body, and Quo.Go to BellamiHair.com and use code WELL to get 25% off your first clip-in order and book a free consultation.

Send us a textReady for a reality check that actually sticks? I walked into a firefighter tryout convinced I'd breeze through on grit and lifting strength—and nearly blacked out during the PACER test. That moment of shock became a catalyst: exposing my cardio blind spot, deflating my ego, and forcing a return to fundamentals that real performance demands.We unpack how a strict carnivore diet kept my weight steady while masking a glaring conditioning gap, and why “I hate cardio” isn't a strategy. I share the simple, sustainable interval plan that rebuilt capacity: short sprints, measured rest, and hybrid sessions that weave lifting with conditioning for a practical HIIT-style rhythm. No heroics—just consistent wins that retrain pace, breathing, and recovery. Along the way, I dig into the mindset traps that derail progress, from the seductive “I'm the exception” story to the endless “I'll start tomorrow” promise that never lands.There's also a hard truth about control: you can't change someone who isn't ready. We talk about the emotional toll of watching a partner or friend self-sabotage, the resentment that creeps in, and how to pivot toward responsibility you actually own. When you drop the urge to manage other people, you gain energy to improve your habits, set better boundaries, and model the change that invites others without pushing them away.If you're craving honest fitness talk, real-world habit change, and a mindset reset that respects biology, this one's for you.

n this episode, I sit down with legendary bodybuilder Butch Nieves, Mr. America and Mr. USA, to talk about what it really takes to transform your body—and your life.

We talk discipline, patience, and the mental toughness it takes to stay the course when the hype fades. Whether you're trying to get in shape, improve your business, or simply level up your mindset—this episode reminds you that slow progress is still progress, and that's how real change lasts.

Welcome to The Superhumanize Podcast. I'm your host, Ariane Sommer, and today we're diving into one of the most paradigm-shifting conversations in modern medicine: the metabolic theory of cancer.For decades, we've been told that cancer is primarily a genetic disease, a matter of unlucky mutations that require aggressive pharmaceutical interventions. But what if that's only part of the story? What if cancer is fundamentally a metabolic disease, a disorder of cellular energy production that we can address through diet, lifestyle, and targeted metabolic therapies?This isn't fringe science. And it's giving patients new hope, and new options, beyond the standard cut, poison, and burn model. Today, I'm thrilled to welcome Dr. Donese Worden to the show. Dr. Worden is a board-certified Naturopathic Medical Doctor, researcher, and global health educator who has dedicated her career to bridging conventional and alternative cancer care. She's collaborated with Banner MD Anderson Cancer Center, served as CEO of Care Oncology, and works directly with Dr. Seyfried on metabolic cancer research. She's also the creator of the 7 Pillars of Health framework, a comprehensive approach to resilience that addresses everything from sleep and gut health to spiritual wellbeing.Dr. Worden's motto is 'Educate, Empower, Enlighten,' and that's exactly what we're going to do today.

Watch the FULL podcast here: https://youtu.be/AySFUeR1pw8Are NAD+ drips or NMN supplements a smart way to support longevity? I connect what NAD+ actually is with what current human studies show and why dosage, delivery and safety still have big question marks.This clip takes a closer look at what NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) does in cellular energy, why interest has grown around aging, and how much of the hype is based on animal data rather than robust human trials. I'm exploring with my guest the difference between oral supplements and IV drips, including why IV bypasses digestion but still may not deliver NAD+ where it's needed inside cells, and the fact that effective dosing schedules are unknown. We discuss reported side effects from IV drips like flushing and rapid heart rate, the theoretical concern that excessive NAD+ could support cancer cell proliferation in certain contexts, and how high-dose single nutrients can disrupt balance when nutrients normally work in synergy. As a nutritionist and health communicator, I weigh the evidence against the costs and risks, and point to practical options with stronger support for mitochondrial health: exercise such as HIIT and zone 2 training, possibly cold exposure, investing in mental health, and dietary precursors from foods like green vegetables, fish, mushrooms and edamame.Dr Rupy Aujla in conversation with Sarah Ann Listen to the full episode here.Watch the full episode on YouTube here.***This episode is sponsored by: NOWATCH: Health tracking reimaginedKnow your body, trust yourself.15% off with code LWBW15 at nowatch.com***Sign up to Sarah's Compassionate Cure newsletter: Science Simplified, Health Humanised.

In this Ageless Future episode, Cade Archibald focuses on optimizing blood flow, endothelial health, and insulin sensitivity to prevent the twin threats of heart disease and type 2 diabetes. He explains why improving nitric oxide and mitochondrial function is foundational, then maps out practical levers—whole-food nutrition, HIIT intervals, post-meal walks, sauna/cold plunge hormesis, sleep, and even oral microbiome care. Cade spotlights advanced testing (ApoB/ApoA ratios, fasting insulin and HOMA-IR, CIMT ultrasound) and discusses tools ranging from GLP-1 agonists and tesofensine to tissue-repair peptides (BPC-157, TB-4) and umbilical-cord–derived regenerative therapies. Listeners get a weekly “stack” (low-dose GLP-1, BPC-157, beet nitrates, berberine) plus simple training cues (grip-strength tracking, sprints/intervals) to boost nitric oxide, repair vessels, and build a heart-healthy, longevity-driven routine. www.agelessfuture.com
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?

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

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.
