Tonight we're heading to Rolleston near Christchurch for  HIIT for Hope.

In this validating episode, I'm joined by fitness and hormone health coach Molly McNamee, founder of MFit Workouts and expert in helping women balance stress hormones so they can finally shed stubborn weight without restrictive diets or punishing workouts.Together, we break down why the traditional “eat less, move more” approach that may have worked in your 20's and 30's is the exact thing sabotaging your metabolism, nervous system, and fat loss in perimenopause—especially if you're a high-achieving woman juggling stress, responsibilities, and nonstop pressures.Molly shares how chronic stress, cortisol overload, over-training, under-eating, and nervous system dysregulation all block weight loss in midlife, plus what women can do instead to feel strong, energized, emotionally stable, and metabolically resilient again.This episode is essential listening for any woman who feels like her body is betraying her—or who's tired of trying everything and still not seeing results.In This Episode, We Discuss:Why “eat less, move more” works when you're younger… but backfires in perimenopauseSubtle signs of nervous system dysregulation that show up as weight gain, anxiety, cravings, burnout, and exhaustionThe truth about HIIT training, fasting, and hustle culture—and who they actually harmHow to rebuild a fitness routine that supports your hormones instead of stressing themWhere beginners should start (without overwhelm)What Molly does personally to keep her stress and nervous system regulatedHer unfiltered advice for every woman navigating perimenopauseHow to access Molly's resources, coaching, and her Cortisol Checklist Key TakeawaysWeight loss resistance in perimenopause is often a stress and nervous system issue—not a willpower issue.Chronic overtraining and under-eating spike cortisol, which tells your body to store fat, increase cravings, and slow metabolism.Women in midlife need smarter, gentler, hormone-supportive fitness strategies—not more intensity, restriction, or pressure.

Managing energy through fitness is vital for sales success, as Steve Whittington, President of Roadmap, go-to-market strategist, and mountain climber, well knows. Steve offers insights into the routines and habits that boost resilience, focus, and motivation in this demanding profession. From lead climbing and HIIT training to the importance of making fitness sacred, Steve highlights how prioritizing well-being can directly impact confidence, stress management, and ultimately, sales results.  Steve shares actionable tips on bringing your best self to every client interaction, and shares a real-world example tying peak physical achievement to peak sales performance. Outline of This Episode [00:00] Physical fitness is crucial for energy management & professional performance. [09:21] Prioritize exercise even amidst a busy schedule. [10:36] Staying fit while traveling. [14:20] Create a committed routine with an accountability partner to improve consistency. [17:05] How climbing Everest boosted Steve's professional career. The Energy-Confidence Connection For Steve Whittington, physical fitness is a lifelong foundation for managing energy and building unshakeable confidence. "When it comes to performance in a professional setting," Steve says, "having the right level of energy to draw from for the challenges that you're up against is critical." Regular exercise across flexibility, strength, cardio, diet, and sleep is his formula for sustainable energy and composure under pressure. We all know that confidence is infectious in sales. When you believe in yourself, your product, and your organization, buyers sense it, and they feed off it. For Steve, the discipline instilled through fitness translates directly to the sales floor, enabling professionals to be "always on" in fast-paced environments. Anchoring Success with Daily Fitness Habits Steve's approach to physical well-being has evolved with age, but consistency remains a key factor. Stretching every morning primes his energy and focus for the day ahead. He trains five to six days a week, ensuring he hits all the "pillars" of health. But the most energizing routine for him is lead climbing, an intense form of climbing where you clip in as you ascend, demanding total focus and delivering a powerful sense of accomplishment when finishing a route. It's all about focus and stillness, as they both give a physical and mental recharge that's hard to match. Three Habits for Sales Resilience When it comes to specific, actionable fitness habits that boost sales performance, Steve offers three clear favorites: HIIT Training Twice a Week: High-Intensity Interval Training gives a strong foundation for overall strength and endurance. Consistent Morning Stretching: This sets a positive tone and sharpens focus at the start of each day. Early Morning Movement: Whether it's running, hitting the gym, or another routine, getting moving before work has been transformative for Steve, creating momentum and energy that carries into his professional life. Overcoming the Salesperson's Fitness Dilemmas A common complaint among sales professionals is the lack of time for exercise, especially for those who are frequently on the road. Steve's solution is to make fitness non-negotiable and integrate it into your lifestyle. If you're traveling, scout gyms or running routes in advance, if possible, structure your work, like picking offices near your gym or walking routes, to bake physical activity into your day. Accountability partners, sacred routines, and progress tracking are all vital tools to make these habits stick. Improving your fitness powers your energy; it also helps you manage stress and sustain long-term motivation. After all, you can't be your best version for others if you're not taking care of yourself first.

Summary:In this episode, I move from theory to practice and show listeners exactly how to apply the three energy systems to their cardio programming. I break down how to set up effective zone 2 work, different types of glycolytic training (tempo, lactate clearance and glycolytic capacity), and what true high intensity and sprint intervals should look like. I also clear up confusion around VO₂ max, explain why strength training does not “count” as cardio, and finish with practical templates for spreading different intensities across the week to build a robust aerobic base and better metabolic flexibility.Chapters:00:00 – Intro and recap of energy systems - Framing this as the “how to” follow up to the last episode and revisiting the three energy systems and time frames.02:24 – How to do zone 2 properly - Heart rate and RPE targets, talk test, choosing modalities, watch accuracy, boredom, and long term progression.07:01 – Glycolytic training overview - Defining lactate clearance, threshold and glycolytic capacity, plus intensities, work to rest ratios and intentions for each.09:22 – Tempo and lactate clearance in practice - Longer tempo intervals vs harder clearance intervals, managing discomfort and staying just under the point you cannot clear lactate.11:48 – Phosphocreatine system, HIIT and sprint intervals - True high intensity versus sprint intervals, work and rest ratios, matching outputs and why most people get this wrong.15:57 – VO₂ max explained - Clarifying what VO₂ max really is, why it is not a zone and how different types of training contribute to improving it.17:59 – Weekly programming examples - Applying the 80–20 idea, turning walks into zone 2, and how to rotate glycolytic work and high intensity intervals.19:34 – Strength training, cardio and metabolic flexibility - Where lifting sits energetically, why it does not replace cardio and how spreading stress across all three systems builds a robust engine.For help integrating proper cardio training into your workouts and structuring your strength training and nutrition to start to see the results you want, check out my online Personal Training options at - andyvincentpt.com

In this episode of The Athlete's Compass, the hosts explore the often-underestimated power of Zone 2 training—effort levels that allow for relaxed, conversational pacing. They break down the physiology behind this aerobic zone, why elite endurance athletes rely on it, and how it promotes mitochondrial growth, fat metabolism, and long-term durability. With personal anecdotes and references to key research studies from 2023 and 2025, the conversation highlights the importance of consistent, low-intensity training for all athletes—from Olympians to time-crunched weekend warriors. The team also discusses how to apply Zone 2 strategically, avoid ego-driven pitfalls, and track progress through heart rate, efficiency, and perceived effort.Key TakeawaysZone 2 training sits just below the first ventilatory threshold and supports aerobic efficiency.It promotes mitochondrial density, enhances fat oxidation, and builds durability over time.Even world-class athletes make performance gains primarily through increased low-intensity volume.Conversational pace and relaxed breathing are useful real-world indicators of being in Zone 2.Avoid the "ego zone" (Zone 3) during base training to maximize aerobic adaptation.Zone 2 is especially critical for masters athletes with limited time—focus on consistency, not volume.Tracking metrics like heart rate, pace/power, and efficiency factor (EF) helps measure progress.Use Zone 2 as a foundation and add high-intensity (HIIT) strategically for optimal results.Paul Warloski - Endurance, Strength Training, YogaMarjaana Rakai - Tired Mom Runs - Where fitness meets motherhood.

We're neglecting something. We need to add something in. And yet, when we have pain, we automatically think something is wrong, something is bad, which, sometimes, sure, but most of the time it's just an alarm, especially you didn't get an accident, nothing happened immediately. This is just another signal to the brain that, hey, we're neglecting something in the body.Lesley Logan 0:29  Welcome to the Be It Till You See It podcast where we talk about taking messy action, knowing that perfect is boring. I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach. I've trained thousands of people around the world and the number one thing I see stopping people from achieving anything is self-doubt. My friends, action brings clarity and it's the antidote to fear. Each week, my guest will bring bold, executable, intrinsic and targeted steps that you can use to put yourself first and Be It Till You See It. It's a practice, not a perfect. Let's get started. Lesley Logan 1:12  All right, Be It babe. This is gonna be an epic episode. Really, truly, so excited to have this amazing woman on. I got so excited about all the education information she was giving us. I didn't give her a proper bio, and you'll get one on Thursday, for sure. But just know that Docjenfit is our guest today, and she has been named one of the top 50 healthcare professionals in the US. Like she's amazing, she's wonderful, and she has a really great, amazing outlook on how we can look at pain in our bodies. And when it comes to being it till you see it, there's just so many factors, right? We can give you all the strategies and all the meditations and all the journals in the world, but like, if you feel pain in your body, it could literally be the thing that holds you back. And I can't have that. We can't have that around here. So Docjenfit is going to educate us and give us some inspiration and some options in our life and ways to think about pain that I think you're going to change your life and help you be it till you see it. So here she is. Lesley Logan 1:59  Be It babe. This is this is going to be fun. This is a more like a dream come true. This is a little bit of fan girling, because in the world that I lived in in Los Angeles, I got to see this woman, kind of from afar, sometimes right next to me in work at the same places, and she is just like, just the person who's been so authentically themselves, helping people in the best way, in a different avenue than I do in the fitness world, but just in a way that I so respect and so admire, and watching her grow year after year has been absolutely wonderful and awe inspiring. Jen Fraboni, Docjenfit, holy fucking molly. Thanks for being here. Dr. Jen Fraboni 2:33  Thank you so much for having me.Lesley Logan 2:36  Okay, in case people have no idea who you are. Can't can't believe it, but it could be true. Can you tell everyone what you rock at? Dr. Jen Fraboni 2:42  Yeah, I am a physical therapist. My handle is Docjenfit across the board. So Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, all the places. And I help empower people to move in a different way in their bodies than they might not have known, to hopefully find ways that they could relieve pain and move better, move more efficiently.Lesley Logan 3:05  Yeah, because I think, like, similarly, I'll meet a lot of people, they'll come in and they'll have pain, and there's certain things that they want to do. And as a Pilates instructor, as much as knowledge as I have, there's some things like way outside my scope. But also I think sometimes pain becomes something that really holds us back. And I watch people sometimes, like, hold on to the pain or have a story around it. And it can be hard to watch that, because you're like, you have so much potential, you have so much stuff you could do in this world, but the pain is holding you back. Can you chat about, like, what when people have pain in their body? Like, what have you seen it negatively do and affecting their lives and like what they're capable of?Dr. Jen Fraboni 3:44  Pain is hard, because what should be thought as a good alert system within our body, just like anything else, our stomach grumbles when we're hungry. We yawn when we're tired. You know, our body is constantly giving us signals that something needs to change. We're neglecting something. We need to add something in. And yet, when we have pain, we automatically think something is wrong, something is bad, which sometimes, sure, but most of the time it's just an alarm, especially you didn't get an accident, nothing happened immediately. This is just another signal to the brain that, hey, we're neglecting something in the body, and it's not necessarily bad, but I'm protecting you in case it turns into bad. So if we can start to see it more as that protective mechanism, rather than, oh my gosh, something is damaged. Something is horrible. I have broken like, you know, my spine is popping. Whatever things that we say in our mind about when we feel it, if we could just say, oh, that is a that's a protective mechanism so that it doesn't become bad, and then we start acting upon it and moving into it. I think the number one thing that pops up for people is is that it is horrible. It's bad. I need to stop moving, I need to stop doing whatever I just did. That's going to damage it. I'm creating more damage if I feel the pain. You know, all these stories that we continue to tell ourselves, and sometimes it has nothing to do with the tissue. Yes, the tissue is involved, but there are neuro tags that our brain creates based on little things that pop up within our body, and when we're stressed, when we don't drink enough water, we're not sleeping enough we're not putting good nutrients within our body. And we're constantly kind of in this cycle of either under eating or under fueling, not getting enough nutrients, not I'm constantly going for takeout or processed food because I just don't have time, you know, all these different things that start to happen, and then our lives can create or increase those symptoms and increase those signals to the brain, and we start living in that pain, and we feel it a little bit more amplified. So it's not even always the tissue. But you know, I think the number one thing that happens is that we we fear that we're creating more damage anytime we move and feel pain.Lesley Logan 6:09  Okay, this is, there's so many different things in there, but like that is really enlightening to me. It makes because, okay, so in 2013, 2013, 2014 that's in 2014, 2014 I fractured my tibial plateau running. Yeah, I just retired from being sponsored. I told my sponsor, like, I'm done. Like I actually, I got slower in there. Somehow I got happy. I can't run that hard anymore. Can't do it. And then, of course, I'm like, didn't understand the depth of a curb thing, and I hyper-extended my knee, awful, terrible. And I'm really lucky it was a non surgical situation. And your whole your my brain went through all the fears, like, am I gonna walk again? Am I gonna run again? Is it gonna affect it? Like you're the whole thing goes crazy. And I was just like, having to go this battle of like, you actually are gonna walk again, like you're, this is so, like, you're just off your leg for eight weeks. Like, out of everything that's going on, like this battle with my brain, and I was working with a really amazing trainer, and, you know, I was able to put body weight back in that leg. He was giving me some squats and some things, all fine, all released from the doctor, all able to do and I would go, anytime it was new, I go, oh, that hurts. Oh, that hurts. And he finally said to me, is it hard or does it hurt? And I think it goes to your point with pain, sometimes we also just confuse, like, is my brain actually saying I'm in pain, or am I coming up against a challenge that I feel uncomfortable with? And it turned out that, like, No, it wasn't actually pain. It was just uncomfortable and it was hard, and I hadn't had to deal with hard workouts in a while like I had. Dr. Jen Fraboni 7:45  And it's scary. It's scary coming back in and you're, you don't want to do something where you're like, Well, I don't want this to be my life. So I'm, I'm afraid.Lesley Logan 7:55  Yeah, yeah. And then like, you know, I think about some of the clients I have where they would come back and they would go, Oh, we did after Pilates, this hurt. And I was like, Okay, I'm looking at the exercise we did, and I have to go, Okay, can you tell me what you did before Pilates, what you did after Pilates? Oh, I was organizing my garage. I'm like, do you think perhaps maybe it might have been the garage, but, you know, I think, so then people go to your point, they're like, I can't do that again, versus, like, what is it telling me? What do I need to do? What imbalances do we might have? Okay, so then I guess my question is, like, how do we how do we do that? How do we explore like, in ourselves or with with those of us who, because some people who are listening, have friends or family who are like, constantly in pain or something constantly hurts. Like, when are we indulging it too much, and when are we like not listening to it? I guess it could be on either (inaudible).Dr. Jen Fraboni 8:45  Yes, that's a really great question, because it's so true. Sometimes we have those pain responses and we're like, kick it down the road. Kick it down the road, whatever, both of them. We got to listen to all of it. That's the whole point, right? It's a signal from our body, so we don't want to ignore it, but we don't want to fear it. So that's where we have to say, okay, my body's trying to tell me something. What is it that I'm neglecting? Let's start at just the base of everything, right? If I am not moving much in general, I have been super stressed. I'm I go to work, I sit in a car for an hour. I sit at my desk, I come home, I have so many a million responsibilities to take care of. I have kids that need me. I'm lifting, I'm grocery shopping, so I'm still lifting and moving and picking up kids or doing whatever, but I'm not actively training my body for any of those things, and now I'm doing it in a state of stress. So all of that combined is just a recipe for your body to be overdone, overdoing it. And once our our brains start like those signals can only take so much, and usually they're filtering it out. There's not enough, you know, just like outside noise, like, there's not enough to take in all of the noises all around. So your brain filters a lot of things out, a lot of unnecessary things. When things become when your brain's like, this is getting to a point where something has to change or else this is going to be bad. That's when it can no longer filter it out. And so all of a sudden we start to get that pain response that's like, normally would be resting right down here. We wouldn't really be paying attention to it. It wouldn't really be a big deal. But all of a sudden you bend down, you pick up that pencil, and your back feels like it just broke. It just went out. It wasn't the bending down and picking up the pencil, it was all these little things along the way that we were not paying attention to until your brain was finally like, Nope, you got to listen. This is this is not okay anymore. And maybe it didn't come with a disc herniation. However, we know that a disc herniation can be there prior as well, and there are studies that show all the way to 20s, all the way into your 20s, you can see disc degeneration on an MRI. You can see disc herniations on MRIs, and it increases as we increase with age. So up to 80s, you're going to see like, I mean, gosh, I wish I had the stats with me right now. But I think in your 60s, you could see up to 80% of people have disc degeneration and no pain. Lesley Logan 11:21  Whoa. Dr. Jen Fraboni 11:23  So it's crazy the numbers, but we have to realize, just like the outside of my body is going to change, my face is going to start to sag my I'm going to start to get wrinkles, changes are going to happen externally. Why would we not expect changes to happen internally? Lesley Logan 11:37  Yeah, yeah. Dr. Jen Fraboni 11:39  Like that that's a part of the process. So we're going to have different changes on an MRI. That's fine, and maybe it's part of your story. Maybe it's part of your pain journey, but it might be have been there prior to pain. So we can't just blame an MRI. We can't just blame an image when we don't know if that's new. We don't know if that's always been there, but what we can now start to do is say, Okay, what have I been neglecting? Am I super stressed? Am I not sleeping? Have I not been moving? Am I not am I maybe going to the gym, going hard, but I'm taking zero time for recovery? Am I always pushing to failure? Because that's what I hear I need to do now that I'm getting older, and I need a strength train, and I need to push my body to failure. But am I doing that every single time I go to the gym? Am I hearing, oh, I'm supposed to be doing these HIIT workouts in high intensity, because that's good for my bone health. But have I not progressed and eased my body into it? So all of these things, we have to start to take into account. Where have I what have I been neglecting? What am I not doing enough of that I can just at least start with the baseline level and say, Okay, thank you brain for alerting me that something needs to change. Thank you brain for telling me that enough is enough, and this isn't necessarily a bad thing, but what can I be doing that I'm neglecting and I can put myself on plenty examples as well. So, for example, my my second pregnancy, I felt all the things in my pelvis, lots of different changes with the hormones and different sensations that would pop up. I don't necessarily like to call it pain, but different sensations that my body was telling me about. And each of those experiences, I could then say, oh, I should not work out today. I should not lift that would be bad. And I did the opposite. And every time I moved in, not into the pain, but into opening up my hips more or loading in a different way. I still lifted weight, but I lifted differently. Maybe I'm not doing a barbell deadlift and going as heavy as I can, but I'm doing a controlled, a controlled deadlift with both legs and a wider stance so that I can open up through my hips and my pelvis a little bit more, and really use my breath to drive up and create that stability in my pelvis that I feel like I'm missing and I'm really needing. Maybe I can add some targeted lunges or step downs that really help to build support in my pelvis and my glutes so that I'm really supporting my body. Maybe I could do some different core things to really add in that stability that I know my body is going into more laxity, because I have a lot more relaxing within my body as I'm as I'm pregnant, and every single time I did movement instead of stopping, I felt better afterwards. Lesley Logan 14:35  Yeah, yeah. I mean, I believe I've never had children, but like, I have also, like, been so tight in my upper back because we do tours, and we're driving the van for the last tour was 36 days. And, you know, yes, I have a (inaudible), yes, we do all the things. Yes, I move my body, but you just, there's only so much you can do after 36 days of you know that? And I absolutely was, like, I should not have signed up for that workout. I probably shouldn't have done my Pilates, and I found myself every with every rolling like a ball, and every seal my thoracic spine just opening up, and it's like, oh, now I'm feel so much better. But it's true. It's like you might have to take a different approach, or you might have to and and we should and this is where that all or nothing mindset, I think, is affecting everybody. Like, it affects not just the way we deal with pain, but like, the way we get into workouts, the way we see if a workout is good or not. Like, it's not about doing what you did yesterday when you're pain free, but maybe going in slow or having a longer warm up, or being more intentional with your breath and then seeing how it's going. But I think it's, I mean, this is your life's mission. How do you get people to listen to their body?Dr. Jen Fraboni 15:44  I know it's hard. The first key is, let's not, let's not be afraid of pain. I mean, I think that that goes for everyone. Let's not be afraid of the MRI either, because we're going to have internal changes on on the body, and that's okay. My husband and I even just did a podcast yesterday on the straightening of the cervical spine, because everyone is afraid. Sometimes you'll go into an office and they'll do an x ray, they'll say, Oh, your your neck is straight. That's why you're getting neck pain. But we have so many studies that show people who have straight spines have no pain. So again, could it be a part of your story? Sure, is it the whole thing? No, because if there's someone out there who has a straight neck and no pain, that doesn't mean that you have a straight neck and pain, right, like that we have to be looking at things can be correlated. It doesn't mean it's the cause. Lesley Logan 16:34  Yeah, yeah. Dr. Jen Fraboni 16:36  And that's what I really want people to hear people who have disc herniations will show up on an MRI and not have pain. People who have osteoarthritis, 43% of people can have osteoarthritis on an MRI and have no pain. So again, not saying, not not discounting that that's a part of your body journey, but it's possible to be in that percentage of people who don't have pain. How do you get there? That's what we want to be focusing on. How do I get there? Right?Lesley Logan 17:03  Yeah. Oh, I love this. It's like, it's like, okay, so you, you, you might be someone with osteoporosis and pain, but the two of them might not actually be connected. It could be. But also, what if we take a moment to think about like, I have osteoporosis, but I also can explore other avenues that could reduce the pain? Dr. Jen Fraboni 17:20  Yes, yes, and it takes a mindset, a mind a mind shift. Lesley Logan 17:30  Yeah, mindset shift got it. Yes, no, it's okay. We'll do this together.Dr. Jen Fraboni 17:35  It takes shifting that mindset of what you're telling yourself and what is wrong and what is bad into saying, okay, what can I explore because of this? What can I do because of this? And that's where, okay, we have to say, if I'm rounding down to the floor and getting pain, what can I be doing that's different? Can, am I sitting a lot? Again, I can do myself as another example. Right now, actually, I am experiencing radiating symptoms into my right glute. So that means I'm I am feeling like a line of pain down into my glutes, sometimes a little further. So I know that's likely coming from my back. A nerve is sending some lightning signals into my glute. Now, I am fully exclusively breastfeeding right now, which means that I am sitting in positions a lot throughout the day where I'm rounded and on, like cuddling into my little babe as I'm breastfeeding, not always in the most ideal position, but kind of sitting like a little shrimp. And so majority of the day, I'm like that. And a lot of times for work, I am sitting at the computer and working. I try to get up, I try to take breaks, I do all the things, but I know that I'm neglecting some things. And so even the other the two days ago, when it really started, I would get out of bed and almost like it felt like my leg didn't want to hold me up. So it felt like it wasn't just nerve related, but it was now starting to affect how my muscles were responding as well. And so it can feel really scary, like, oh my gosh, just stepping out of bed, I'm going to collapse onto the floor, or I'm feeling as I'm rounding and picking up my son, I'm getting a lot of pain. That's bad. I should not deadlift, I should not bend my spine. I should not, you know, we could start telling ourselves, because this pattern equals pain, I shouldn't do this. Instead, I'm saying, Okay, what have I been neglecting? Now I'm spending a lot more time in extension. So if I'm on my phone, I'm going to lay on my couch and it prop my elbows and look at my phone that way. So I'm putting my spine in the opposite position that it's typically in throughout the day, and I'm spending time relaxing there and breathing there. I'm spending time opening up my hip flexors, opening up my rib cage, opening up tension relaxing through my front of my body, since I know that I'm spending a lot of time in that shrimp position. But on top of that, I have to create stability in a new way so my body feels safe. So I'm also adding in a lot of core stabilization. I'm adding in a lot of hip stability through my warm ups, and then I'm lifting, and I'm not shying away, because I'm listening and I'm modifying if I need to, but I'm lifting, and, and I still feel it a little bit today, but not as bad. And we also have to know that some things take time. There's no one magic fix. There's no one give me the one exercise for my for my disc herniation. I can't tell you that. It depends on what your body needs. What have you been neglecting? Are you neglecting your hip mobility? Are you neglecting your upper back mobility? Are you breathing from your rib cage? Are you stabilizing through your core? Are you, you know, can we move a little bit different in an exercise so that you can feel a little bit different? Can we change the range of motion? Can we change the load? There's so many aspects that we could be changing for you, it's hard to say what each individual needs. And at the same time, I just don't stop moving. The more that we stop moving, the more that your body's going to feel, because the one thing that helps us to feel better is getting fluids to move. Is getting our lymphatic system moving, is getting, you know, our even our blood going up to our brain, things. We want oxygen. We want things moving in our body so that we start to feel something different. Another thing I'm super neglecting is sleep. I know that's a huge, big thing for me. I'm staying up late so I could pump before I go to bed. Sometimes my son still wakes up. I wake up early. I'm burning at both ends from not sleeping enough. That's a huge contributor to pain. So we have to take into account other stressors in our life, and some things we can change. Some things are harder, but we have to get really honest with ourselves and say, what is it that I'm not doing that I could be doing for my body in general?Lesley Logan 22:13  Yeah, so Jen, I love this because, like, first of all, I appreciate you sharing your stories, because I always what I get a lot, especially since and I think it's because people can say it and I don't. I can't really argue. I don't have children. You have two kids, one of them whom you're nursing. And like, the thing that I always say is, like, if you like, have a newborn, like, you obviously have to take care of the newborn. But also, like, none of us are good to anyone sick or in pain like zero. I truly believe that self-care is an act of self-love. I will die on this hill. And I really don't think you can love others as as generously as you want if you don't love yourself that way. And so, but also, you're in a very different season in your motherhood journey, where you are breastfeeding, and so I guess, like for the moms listening, or the people who are like really trying, who put so many other people's lives before themselves, like, how do you do that? Because I know you have the mom guilt. They gave it to you when you had the kids. So like, how do you how? Like, yes, it's your job, but also, like, you're a human being. How do you keep that all going?Dr. Jen Fraboni 23:17  So I'm very fortunate to have support. We have support. I could be on this podcast, because we have support, right? So my husband and I can work during the day, and we have people watching our children, and so we're very grateful for that. I have to acknowledge that, right? And within that time period, I take 30 minutes out of where I would be working to work out. 30 minutes. It doesn't have to be a lot of time when we do it efficiently and we learn what we need for our individual body. I also, because I talked about the sleep thing, and that's lacking for me, my accountability and motivation not very high right now, to show up for myself, and I know that for myself right now. So the number one thing I I'm doing right now is I met someone actually on a mom app called Peanut and she comes and works out with me before she goes and picks up her after her work day, and before she picks up her son from daycare, and we work out together. And I know she's coming at the same time almost every day, and she is like, if she's showing up, I'm obviously showing up, and we're doing that 30 minute workout together, and I have that accountability to get off my butt and do it, because I can just, Oh, I'll eat a little bit more, I'll work a little bit more, I'll do a little you know, I can make up all the excuses because I'm tired and I get it, I'm in it, like, I don't want to do it either, but I do want to do it because it's going to make me feel so much better after. So I think understanding what is it that you need. We know, I think we know by now that motivation isn't the thing that's going to get us to move, right? We know this, but what is the thing that's going to get you to move? Is that the accountability? I've also told myself I need to be moving a little bit more. So my accountability also is, I am posting every morning that I'm taking a walk. And I asked other people who wants to join me take a walk, I'm going to post every morning that I'm taking a walk. That's my accountability. If I don't post. You know, I didn't walk, and so I'm I'm showing up on stories and just saying, got my morning walk in 10 to 15 minutes. It doesn't have to be long, right? I throw my kids in a stroller and I go for a walk. So what is it that we can be doing that creates that, that deeper accountability? Again, it doesn't have to be a long time, even if you're like, I don't have 30 minutes. Okay, do you have five to 10 minutes. Can you use your your kid and do a couple lunges and squats with them? Trust me, kids love to be used as weights. It's super fun for them. What is the thing that we could be doing? I do my mobility on the floor in the playroom when they're moving around. So there's always a time. Yeah, it's just, how are we creating that space within our life to to commit? Lesley Logan 26:05  Yeah, I You're so right during the pandemic. I studied with BJ Fogg and his team, his the author of Tiny Habits and Stanford science, like behavioral sciences on habits like be the person, right? And he literally said, motivation is the friend you want to go to a party, but you never have them pick you up at the airport. It's unreliable, and then and it's like, just when you think about that, whenever I hear people I don't have enough motivation. I'm like, like, motivation is what you need to, like, push them up a hill real quick, but like, you can't. It's not the thing. And so the other thing that I know from Habits is how we talk to ourselves about something actually, is why where the brain starts to look for opportunities. So I, because I because I know how good I'll feel right and I know what that's gonna do. My brain is like, oh, oh, I could go. I could do this movement here. I have 30 extra minutes I could do. I'm like, seeking out little increments in a busy season, because my brain knows you're gonna get a dopamine hit if you do this here. But if, whenever you think about the things you should be doing in a negative way, oh, I should be moving more. I should be exercising more, and you put all this shit on yourself and this pressure, it stresses your brain. Your brain goes, oh, working out, moving my body, that causes stress, shame, guilt. I don't like to feel that. So you actually don't look for those things. We have to actually trick our brain into seeing opportunities for movement. And so I love that you shared all these different ways, and also what you're using right now, because it's going to be different from for all of us, depending on where our seasons are, depending if you're traveling or not, but it doesn't I am so with you. It does not have to be an hour chunk at one time, like that is a luxury a lot of people don't have, and you might have it one day a week, but not other days a week. And I'm just a big fan of, like, someone always asked me, like, how often should I do Pilates? And I'm like, I'd rather do four 15-minute sessions in a week than one one-hour like, I just would. It's just going to have way more benefits. So I appreciate you talking about the different minutes, and also, like what you're doing right now in your seasons, because it, it does help people start to think, Oh, I could do that, oh I could do 15 minutes. Oh I could pick my kid up, or I could go for a walk with a friend. I have a neighbor who would walk with me every morning, if I would, if I would get up a little later, and I'm like, this is too hot for me right now. So, so. But you know what? If that's if you are someone who needs someone, you're not sure so you can rely on someone, I promise you, get a dog teach him for two weeks to go for a walk in the morning, they will wake you up. They're, my dog knows what time it is. He knows it's time for a walk. So. Dr. Jen Fraboni 26:06  I love that. Lesley Logan 26:41  Okay, so you know this is an incredible journey that you are going on, and what you've been and the gifts that you've been giving people like you've been doing this a really long time. What are you excited about right now? Like, where are you taking this? Where are you taking, like, your education, helping people with their pain?Dr. Jen Fraboni 28:50  You know, my number one thing is to provide ways right now as to okay, if this hurts, how can we do it different? So the number one thing people always tell me when they go through my courses and my plans and everything is that the way UQ lit up, something in my brain that told me I can do it, something different, and I felt completely different, no knee pain, no back pain, because I did, you know, and so doing some of these common things a little bit more uncommon, A little bit different than maybe what you've been told or what you've seen or what you've done in the past can make a huge impact, so that you continue to move forward and you feel better within your body. I think I've grown because people know me as mobility. People know me as but the problem with that is that people believe that stretching and just passive stretching, and it's so not and so sometimes, you know, I even have family members here. Like the other day, my niece is like, going for cheer right now, and she said, Oh, this area within my inner thigh, so, like her groin area was hurting and I was doing a lot of stretching, and I'm like, why are you stretching it? Don't stretch it. Not bad. I don't wanna say it's bad, but it's not gonna be helpful when she needs to be active in her sport in order to get back to what she wants to do. And so a lot of times, we need either active stretching or we need isometric hold. We need strengthening. We need stability within the body. Again, remember that when we have pain, our body wants to feel safe. So a lot of times, stretching though it can feel good, it can feel relaxing, it can help to temporarily reduce pain symptoms. A lot of times, it's not the thing that's going to help the body to feel secure and safe moving forward. And so what we need is great stability. Pilates is great at creating stability. Pilates is great at teaching the body some safety. So a lot of times in those initial phases, especially getting more stability, more isometric holds, more higher reps, lower weight, that kind of thing is going to be better in in the very beginning stages, when we're feeling that pain and creating that safety for the body, before we start loading more, or before we start doing it, or before we start doing really aggressive stretches. I don't even know. I think I went off on a tangent.Lesley Logan 31:15  It's okay, you're clear. I asked what you're excited about right now, and that's it.Dr. Jen Fraboni 31:20  Yes, yes. Continuing to educate people on on a different way to move their body and hopefully get out of pain. I just, I want to stick with pain, and some people tell me that's limiting and and I, I know, but so many people experience pain, and if I could just teach people how to listen to their body a little differently and not fear pain, I that that would be such a gift.Lesley Logan 31:40  I mean, it's really funny what people like to say, like, they like to say, oh, you can't, can't just do that, or that's really limiting, or whatever it is. Like, you know, this particular week that we're recording this, like, I gotta be in my bonnet because somebody, like, said, like, oh, like, someone just commented negatively on one of my Pilates instructors who works for me, and about their their body. Well, I can see that Pilates is really working. Pilate is really working for your for your body, and to something nasty, right? And I got so pissed about it. And then, like, and then I was like, while we're on the topic, there's also no such thing as Pilates arms, right? Like, there's just that's like, if you, like, I don't even want to say, have arms and do Pilates, because there you could do Pilates without arms. Like, you don't even have to have arms. So it's like, not a thing, right? Like, and so and so, it's like, it goes to where this tangent is going from my brain. It's like, people like to put things in boxes and then, and then, that's what it is for. That's what it does. And like, as, if you focusing on pain is so limiting. When pain is like, it is such a, like, I'm like, we could go to so many places, because there's people who like, literally, like, I have a family member in my life every day, something is in pain. I'm like, you are using pain to keep yourself from experiencing life, you know? And then there's also the other spectrum, where it's like, people who won't listen to it at all. You're like, I just want you to like, we don't do, yeah, I can see, like, you shouldn't do that anymore, so, but I so, I think it's really interesting how we people want to put boxes around things. And there, I don't say they're being a boxer, and I do think that, like, we know a lot more about stuff. Like, it used to be like, Oh, if that hurts, don't do anything, as if that's, you know, and I would watch clients whose doctors, like, you can't do anything with that. And I'm like, Okay, so now your foot has changed. Like, now that we haven't used it anymore, it's no longer, like, you have hammer toes now it's doing this thing. It's sickling. Like, can we go back to the doctor and ask for some other things we can do? Because, like, even though that's my scope, like, that foot is not helping. Now your hip's going weaker, and now your back is having problems. So I think we know a lot more now, and I'm really excited for what you're doing, because it does, it does give people a little bit more opportunities to change things before it gets to be something that can't be changed anymore. Am I right like?Dr. Jen Fraboni 33:55  I hope so that's the number one thing that boils my blood is whenever I would have a client come back and said, Oh, my doctor told me not to do that anymore, or not to do this anymore. And it's like, well, the more we don't use it, we lose it. So if, if you want to become fragile, if you want to, you know, age and be in more pain, then that's an option, but I hope that's not what you want, you know. And when it comes to joint health, the if your joints start to go which they are, that's part of aging, right? We're going to start to lose cartilage. They're going to start to wear and tear. That's, I hate that word, but it's true. I mean, we're, we're, they're going to change. It's part of aging. The only thing that is going to support you as those changes are happening, is muscle and being strong and having range of motion and mobility within your body. Yeah, if you don't have the mobility to move into those areas anymore, they're going to get stiffer and tighter. If you don't have the muscle strength to support it, your joints don't have any more room or cushion to support them themselves. So. What's going to happen? You're going to be in more pain, and you're not going to be able to do more things. If we stop moving and to our full ranges of motion, if we stop strengthening throughout our range of motion and and putting that tension across the tendons and the muscles and loading the joints, then we're going to end up in more pain.Lesley Logan 35:23  Yeah, yeah, yeah, you are. And this is not to knock, like, what some of the doctors say, because, like, I also think they're in a practice and they're operating on some interesting information. But I definitely would laugh when someone come and go, I'm not allowed to flex or extend my spine. And I'm like, how did you drive here today? Like, how did we how do we get here? And I just want you to notice that while you take your shoes off right now, you're in flexion. So can I, can I maybe get some permission to move you in a safe way, in those positions so that we can keep them? Yeah, I think that's that's like, thank goodness for you and the work that you're doing, and you do it in a way that actually makes people excited to think about their bodies. And I think that's so beautiful, because it's really hard to do in a world where people want a quick fix, they want the five in five days how do I get out of this? And it's like, Well, you probably didn't get into it. And I just really want to highlight, like, your your focus on like, what are all the other things we could be listening to, you know? And I think that that is something that, as you know, majority of the listeners on this show are women, and there's a few good men, but especially as women, especially as women, like we, tend to it starts with the sleep, and then it starts with the fueling of the food, and then it starts with lack of water. And then, you know, all of us, it's like it's a slow thing, and it's like there are some things we could actually maybe take a look at and be a little bit more priority based on those, even if we don't have time, and see how that affects the rest of our bodies. Dr. Jen Fraboni 36:41  1,000% Lesley Logan 36:43  Yeah, I really want to, like, talk to you for hours, but we're gonna take a brief break, and we're gonna find out how people can find you, follow you and work with you. Lesley Logan 36:49  All right, Docjenfit, where do you hang out? Where is your favorite place for people to connect with you, work with you. Do you have any programs that they can look into if they're interested in this?Dr. Jen Fraboni 37:00  Yeah. I mean the number one place, I check my DMs all the time. It's me, so docjenfit on Instagram is my number one place I hang out. I do upload Tiktok as well, but I don't check Tiktok, so don't try to reach out to me there. YouTube, I do look at comments there, so I get back to everyone there, but I feel like my community is on Instagram, and that's where I started. That's where everything is. So connect with me there if you have any questions, and I have Jen Health. So jen.health, there's no dot com or anything, or also look up the app Jen Health. And if you ever wanted to find something rather than scrolling my Instagram, you can go sign up on Jen Health. It's completely free to sign up. And we have a Discover tab where you can literally type in knee pain or knee and stairs or like low back pain or bending, or whatever it is that you want to and there's going to be something that pops up that can help you. Those are essentially my Instagram searchable. So all my recent posts always get uploaded there, and you can search freely as needed. We also have programs on there so that you're not just looking for a quick fix within those couple exercises that may or may not help, but you're the programs I created, because I'm not individually with you, but my low back plan, (inaudible) plan, is all about like, Okay, let's take a look at the entire system here and how it all can work into helping to improve and reduce low back pain. We're talking mobility stability from the ground up. We're talking strengthening progressively into the body and really building in key areas that are often neglected in five to 15 minutes a day. I'm not trying to take you away from your other workouts or your other life responsibilities, I'm trying to just sprinkle things in little by little, so that you are starting to introduce something different that you might have been neglecting in your body. I love all that that's so helpful. Lesley Logan 37:00  And I think it's really cool, because when people can take some ownership and explore and like also understand, I think the more we understand our body, the easier it is for us to actually like, communicate about what's going on with it, and also advocate for ourselves. If you do need to go see a doctor and they do tell you things, you can go you can advocate for or against or get a second opinion. You can have a lot more authority of yourself when those things do come up. So you're just so wonderful. Thank you for that. Okay, you have given us a lot already, but bold, executable, intrinsic or targeted steps people can take to be it till they see it, what do you have for us?Dr. Jen Fraboni 38:14  Everyday take a breath in to the sides of your rib cage, like not, not into your shoulders, not into your neck, not into your chest. Take a breath and think of closing your mouth, taking your breath, as if your breath is pulling back into your nasal cavity and expanding across your ribs. Sometimes I like to just take my hands on my rib cage, take five deep, long, slow breaths there. You're going to see how pain just starts to diminish. Stress starts to diminish. Things start to feel better within your body. And the only way that we start to know how to move forward is if we tune in first.Lesley Logan 40:00  Oh, my goodness. I love that. I love that so much. That's literally how I like people to breathe when they're in my classes. I just feel like I'm like, Ah, so much validation. I'm obsessed with you. Can you come around the world with me? Anyways, you're just, thank you so much, Jen, just for being you and what you do in this world, and also just being so authentic about how you're on this journey as a human being, so that everyone can also be on that journey with you, but also so that people can be empowered.

Dr. Jen Pfleghaar joins me today to break down why your menstrual cycle is actually the key to optimizing your workouts, timing your nutrition, and finally making progress with stubborn weight loss. As an emergency medicine physician who transitioned to integrative medicine after reversing her own Hashimoto's, Dr. Jen brings both clinical expertise and real-world experience. She explains why the "hustle harder" mentality works for men but can backfire for women, especially during perimenopause. You'll learn why your stress resistance changes throughout your cycle, why daily intermittent fasting might sabotage your goals, and how to time everything from HIIT workouts to longer fasts. We also dive into why every woman needs to lift weights and red flags about hormone advice on social media. If what used to work isn't working anymore, this episode gives you a new framework for working with your body's rhythms.

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?

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

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/

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.

Our conversation today is honest and warm, so it is like sitting down with two close friends. Both Stephanie and I look forward to sharing many more of these Q&A sessions with you in the future. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN: Some advice for mothers navigating perimenopause  How to adjust your fasting in midlife What perimenopause and menopause mean for satiety and hydration signals, and how to adapt Why some women find dairy problematic in midlife, and how to experiment with reducing it How hormesis builds resilience, and how stressors, like exercise, fasting, and cold/heat exposure, can improve metabolic and overall health What you need to consider with hormones like DHEA and pregnenolone How women with MTHFR can support methylation and detox pathways The benefits of combining strength training, Zone 2 cardio, and occasional HIIT for fitness in midlife Why you should embrace your callouses as badges of honor instead of trying to remove them The value of micro-dosing with peptides and GLP-1s Connect with Cynthia Thurlow   Follow on X Instagram LinkedIn Check out Cynthia's website Submit your questions to support@cynthiathurlow.com Connect with Dr. Stephanie Estima On Instagram On her weekly podcast, Better!

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.

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. We'll explore the metabolic theory of cancer, discuss both prevention and treatment strategies, and give you a roadmap for building resilience at every level.Episode Highlights00:00 Welcome + why the “metabolic theory of cancer” matters02:00 Genetics vs. metabolism: why only ~5% is strictly genetic (and gene expression is modifiable)03:45 Warburg's mitochondrial lens; PET scans lighting up because cancer voraciously consumes sugar06:45 How we veered away historically; incentives that kept oncology gene-centric09:00 What damages mitochondria today: toxins, antibiotics (without mitigation), chronic stress10:30 Stress as a metabolic driver; why it keeps glucose high even on a “good” diet12:30 Ketogenic therapy for cancer: high fat, lower protein (individualized), carbs mainly from veggies15:00 Measuring correctly: Keto-Mojo, GKI (Glucose-Ketone Index); skip urine strips for accuracy17:00 Fast stress relief protocols: music-guided entrainment, breath work, active meditation, journaling20:15 Somatic breath work in practice; rapid emotional release21:00 Best fats and how Dr. W screens with food-sensitivity testing first23:15 Keto cycles for prevention: 6-week blocks a couple times per year24:15 Exercise as mitochondrial medicine: HIIT + resistance for biogenesis and cancer risk reduction26:00 The KetoPet model: ketogenic diet + HBOT + interval training; lessons for humans28:15 Starting movement in late-stage cases; meeting people exactly where they are30:15 “Press–Pulse” strategy: what stays constant vs. what's pulsed to outsmart tumor adaptation32:00 Repurposed meds (e.g., metformin, doxycycline) and why many oncologists can't step outside SOC33:00 Bridging care: when surgery/chemo/radiation have a role; aiming at cancer stem cells37:15 Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT): driving O₂ into cells; why it's pulsed and protocol-specific39:30 Outcomes Dr. W sees most consistently: better quality of life, often longer survival41:00 The psychology of prognosis; belief, stress, and manifestation43:00 The “placebo” as your body's own pharmacy (parasympathetic healing state)44:15 Targeting glutamine along with glucose; where evidence stands now (e.g., berberine, exercise, stress)46:45 The Seven Pillars of Health overview (self-audit)48:30 Pillar 1 — Sleep: deep/REM, how you feel on waking49:15 Pillar 2 — Body: strength,...

Is your brain fog, fatigue, or weight gain more than just stress? It could be perimenopause—and it may be your body's biggest wake-up call.In this empowering episode, Dr. Shivani Gupta sits down with Dr. Mariza Snyder, a functional medicine practitioner, hormone expert, and bestselling author of The Essential Oils Hormone Solution and The Perimenopause Revolution. With over 10M podcast downloads, Dr. Mariza shares science-backed tools and her own journey to help women become the CEO of their health.Together, they unpack the truth about hormone chaos, metabolic health, sleep, and what it means to truly future-proof your body and mind.

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?

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.

(3:00) Zone Zero refers to low-impact exercises, such as yoga and other gentler activities. (23:00) Even housework is good movement. However, to gain muscle, you need to be doing regular strength training. If your job requires loading and moving heavy objects (like farm work), that is often sufficient. They discuss what is meant by “active recovery.” (28:30) The belief that “more is better” is not necessary. You can get in a solid workout with fewer sets. (31:00) They discuss an article that reports how exercise can reverse cancer cells. (35:00) HIIT training seems to help. Chris delineates how the studies were done. The level of exercise can improve immune response through signaling myokines. Reminder: don't use tobacco products! (46:30) If you are interested in the NSNG® VIP group, it will be reopening soon.

(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.
