Discover the five science-backed reasons you're always tired and what to do about it. From adrenal dysfunction and chronic inflammation to nutritional deficiencies, sunlight exposure, and hormone decline—learn how to identify your fatigue triggers and restore your energy naturally with actionable lab work, lifestyle changes, and targeted supplementation. FEATURED PRODUCT Zen, featuring bovine adrenal gland extracts, is designed to support adrenal function and help regulate cortisol levels—the key hormone controlling your stress response, sleep quality, and daily energy. If you're always tired despite getting enough sleep, Zen provides the targeted adrenal support your body needs to restore balanced cortisol production and reclaim the calm, sustained energy you've been missing. Get zen here: https://mswnutrition.com/products/zen 5 KEY TAKEAWAYS Adrenal dysfunction is the primary cause of chronic fatigue - When stress overactivates your adrenal glands for years, cortisol production becomes imbalanced, disrupting sleep and draining energy even after a full night's rest. Chronic inflammation creates debilitating tiredness - Conditions like insulin resistance, autoimmune disorders, liver issues, and chronic pain keep your body in a constant state of metabolic stress that depletes energy reserves. Nutritional deficiencies directly impact energy production - Deficiencies in B vitamins (especially B6, B9, and B12), choline, and vitamin D impair neurotransmitter production and cellular energy, with genetic factors like MTHFR compounding the problem. Morning sunlight is non-negotiable for energy regulation - Just 10-15 minutes of morning sun exposure produces 10,000 IU of vitamin D, increases serotonin and cortisol naturally, and sets your circadian rhythm for better sleep and daytime energy. Hormone decline accelerates fatigue after age 40 - Low testosterone in men and declining estrogen in women contribute significantly to persistent tiredness, but addressing adrenal health should always come before hormone replacement. JOIN THE SCHOOL Recovering from adrenal fatigue requires more than just breathing exercises and supplements—your diet plays a crucial role in cortisol regulation and energy stability. That's why we're launching a 6-week "No Grains. No Sugar." class starting Thursday, January 15th. Eliminating grains and sugar helps stabilize blood sugar, reduce inflammation, and take stress off your adrenal glands—giving them the space they need to recover. Beyond the structured classes, the School of Doza community connects you with others working through their own health transformations. Share what's working (and what's not), get accountability for your 90-day adrenal reset, and have your questions answered during our Wednesday "Ask Me Anything" sessions that function like group consults. Whether you need help interpreting your DHEAS results, troubleshooting your HRV tracking, or figuring out why you're still crashing at 2 PM, the community and weekly sessions give you direct access to guidance and support. Start with a FREE TRIAL and join us for the "No Grains. No Sugar." class to accelerate your adrenal recovery.
The general consensus on sauna bathing is that it's a powerful tool for longevity, recovery and metabolic health. More sessions, higher heat, longer durations — all of these strategies are commonly assumed to produce better outcomes. But after hearing Paul Saladino question whether sauna use can add unnecessary stress for people who already train hard or live under chronic pressure, I felt it was worth taking a closer look at when sauna therapy is best leveraged and when it might do more harm than good. Here's the core issue: sauna use is a physiological stressor. It raises core temperature, increases cortisol, can lower HRV in the short term, and often causes temporary spikes in blood glucose. And if your overall stress load is already high, adding another stressor on top of that won't necessarily improve recovery. In other words, the thing you should be concerned about is total stress load. When hard training, poor sleep, work pressure, and everyday life are already consuming most of your recovery capacity, spending long periods in very hot saunas can stop being adaptive and start competing with recovery. At the same time, when you zoom out, the long-term evidence supporting sauna bathing remains strong — even for people who train regularly. These benefits – including improvements in cardiovascular function, insulin sensitivity, heat tolerance and sleep quality – play out over years and decades, not session by session. And I suspect the number of people who train so hard that their system is pushed to its limit is relatively low. So in my view, discouraging sauna use is the wrong overall approach; for most people in most scenarios, the benefits far outweigh the risks. Still, it can be beneficial to pay attention to dosage and timing. Long, very hot sauna sessions layered onto hard training and inadequate recovery can overwhelm your ability to recover, rather than support it. Used more deliberately — i.e., shorter sessions, reasonable temperatures, and better placement within the week — time in the sauna often has the opposite effect, helping people unwind, sleep better, and recover more fully – even when their fitness trackers show short-term fluctuations.

Today, we open up the science and the practice of coherence, the state where your heart, brain, and nervous system move in rhythm so you stop leaking energy and start acting with clear conviction. Using heart rate variability as the guide, we break down how smooth, predictable timing emerges when emotions complete their cycle and why rumination or suppression keeps your physiology on alert long after the moment has passed.Together, we demystify HRV and show how to read it without shame or perfectionism. You'll learn the difference between sympathetic activation and parasympathetic recovery, why coherence is not about being calm or happy all the time, and how appreciation, gratitude, and deliberate breathing can reorganize your internal signals. We get practical about interrupting thought loops, letting sensations rise and fall, and returning the system to order so your prefrontal cortex can do what it does best: nuanced thinking, empathy, and wise decisions.For Muslim women navigating layered responsibilities, this approach protects against chronic overfunctioning, lowers inflammation and cardiovascular load, and supports devotion and service without self-betrayal. If you're ready to trade constant vigilance for flexible resilience, this conversation gives you the language, the tools, and the faith-aligned mindset shift to make it real.If this resonated, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs steadier days, and leave a review so more listeners can find these tools.To leave a review on Apple Podcasts, open the app and go to the show's page by searching for it or finding it in your library.

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I'm looking forward to sharing with you some of our community's questions that have come in over the past few weeks… James: Hi Dr. Cabral, I've noticed that when I increase my protein intake, my digestion and sleep actually get worse. Is this more likely a gut issue, a liver/bile issue, or something related to cortisol? How would you approach troubleshooting this? Mark: I've been doing all the "right things" sleep, nutrition, movement but my HRV remains low. How much weight should we give metrics like HRV versus how someone actually feels day to day? Nancy: Hi Dr. Cabral, love your podcast and thank you so much for taking our questions! Is it possible to take too many b-vitamins? I have been very stressed and anxious lately and my local health food store recommended a stress b-complex. I noticed that every b-vitamin was 100mg across the whole label. Is this too much? Thomas: I was watching your video on YouTube on your Hope4Cancer review when you went down there to check it out and then the video stopped playing half way through. Am I able to watch the rest of it? I have a family member with cancer and she was wondering about that place. Farah: I am 7 months pregnant and worried about getting sick my last trimester. Is there anything I can do to prevent from getting sick. Any supplements, foods, or detox protocols that are safe to use while pregnant?

In this episode of The Athlete's Compass, the team introduces Athletica's newly launched AI coach—an intelligent training assistant that combines large language models (LLMs) with athlete-specific data like HRV, sleep, and training load. Unlike generic AI tools, this coach taps into the HIIT Science textbook and contextualizes advice based on six weeks of an athlete's training history. Paul Laursen, Marjaana Rakai, and Paul Warloski walk through how it works, what sets it apart, and demonstrate its capabilities in real-time. The conversation highlights not only the tech's sophistication but its potential to empower athletes and coaches alike through contextual, science-backed decision-making.Key TakeawaysAI + Personal Data = Precision Coaching: The AI coach analyzes training data like HRV, heart rate, and sleep to give context-aware, real-time advice.HIIT Science Textbook is Embedded: It doesn't guess—its responses are backed by content from The Science and Application of High-Intensity Interval Training.Real-Time Scenarios: Whether you're sick, tapering, or targeting a hilly Ironman, the AI provides personalized strategies.Built-In Guardrails: It won't override your training plan but will suggest appropriate tweaks based on your context.For Coaches Too: While not yet multi-athlete enabled, future updates will allow coaches to use it across their roster.Customization: Users can adjust the coach's personality (casual/professional) and depth (plain language to sports science level).AI Agent Architecture: It uses Retrieval-Augmented Generation and purpose-built agents (e.g., for recovery or training load optimization).More Than a Chatbot: Unlike ChatGPT, this coach knows your actual training history and adjusts accordingly.Paul Warloski - Endurance, Strength Training, YogaMarjaana Rakai - Tired Mom Runs - Where fitness meets motherhood.
Have you ever said, "I just don't feel like myself anymore" — even though your labs look normal? In this episode of the Health Fix Podcast, Dr. Jannine Krause breaks down why inflammation starts in the brain, how it drives fatigue, brain fog, cravings, hormone imbalance, and accelerated aging — and why 2026 is the year to stop suppressing symptoms and start correcting root causes. Inflammation isn't just a body problem. It's a brain health issue first. Your brain uses 20% of your daily calories, and when inflammation is present, it shifts into defensive mode, not performance mode. That's when clarity disappears, energy crashes, and nothing feels like it's working anymore.
In this episode, Caleigh and Sara get real about the mental load of “being healthy” and why modern wellness can feel like a full-time job. We talk about how tracking everything (sleep, steps, water, HRV, supplements, macros, deep sleep percentages, you name it) can turn into stress instead of support, and how the constant stream of conflicting fitness advice makes it even harder to know what actually matters.We also dig into the difference between helpful structure and neurotic optimization, why “just start with a 20-minute walk” is both valid and kind of wild in today's sedentary world, and how we're trying to simplify: quality food, movement, water, sleep… and letting the rest be optional. Plus: a mini rant about recycling rules, sleep trackers that roast you daily, and the holy grail of routines that don't require you to become a robot.Connect with us on social media!Instagram | TikTok | Threads | Youtube | Facebook | X (Twitter) | WebsiteThis podcast offers health, fitness, and nutritional information and is designed for educational and entertainment purposes only.

How would you like to improve your recovery and heart rate variability by up to 37% without adding more training? On today's episode, I break down fascinating new research showing how a traditional therapy many people overlook may significantly improve recovery, autonomic nervous system balance, and HRV, especially in athletes and active individuals. I walk you through what the research actually found (and what it didn't) and also explore how cupping works physiologically, the importance of proper suction intensity, and exactly how often it needs to be done to see benefits. So join me on today's Cabral Concept 3616 to learn whether cupping might be a missing piece in your recovery routine.

"Fibromyalgia patients have lived with, 'Well, it's nothing. We're giving you nothing, and don't come back.' We're not doing that anymore." - Dr. Andrew Holman Living with fibromyalgia, you know what it feels like to live in a body that never really settles down. Even when we're resting, there's a background tension that doesn't fully release. Sleep doesn't restore us the way it should, stress lingers longer than it seems to for other people, and pain feels louder than it should. It's exhausting feeling like your nervous system is always braced for impact, even on the days when you're doing everything "right." This constant feeling of being on edge isn't about mindset or resilience. It's about how our nervous system has learned to respond over time. When your body stays stuck in fight-or-flight, it interferes with the deep, restorative sleep you need and amplifies pain and sensitivity throughout the day. That's why getting a deeper understanding of how your nervous system is reacting and supporting it to move away from the fight-or-flight state is often a significant piece of the puzzle in managing your fibro symptoms. Today, Tami is joined by Dr. Andrew Holman, a board-certified rheumatologist with decades of experience working with fibromyalgia patients. Dr. Holman is the co-founder of Inmedix and has spent years studying how stress biology and autonomic nervous system imbalance affect pain, sleep, and healing. In this conversation, Tami and Dr. Holman discuss Dr Holman's clinical observations on fibromyalgia, patterns he noticed over decades treating patients with fibromyalgia, why heart rate variability (HRV) matters, his response to skepticism about fibromyalgia, his perspective on the question of whether fibromyalgia is autoimmune, how sleep deprivation can drive symptoms, why deep restorative sleep matters for pain and cognition, how the autonomic nervous system affects your body, what HRV measures and why it's a useful window into the stress response, how newer HRV tech aims to separate sympathetic and parasympathetic activity more precisely, using HRV and resting heart rate to spot overexertion and help pace activity, what clinical outcomes can look like when autonomic balance improves, HRV as a potential missing vital sign, the usefulness of HRV data for guiding more individualized treatment decisions, autonomic medicine as a growing frontier, practical steps you can take to better support your nervous system, the critical link between sleep apnea and fibromyalgia, addressing comorbidities that may be contributing to your symptoms, cervical cord compression as a possible contributor to autonomic dysfunction, why tenderness matters in diagnosis, where Dr. Holman's new HRV tech is in the rollout process, what he sees for the future of fibromyalgia research, and more. Note: This episode is not meant to be medical advice. Every person and every situation is unique.

What if the most important signal of your long term health, recovery, and resilience isn't how hard you train, but how well your nervous system recovers? In this episode of the Metabolic Freedom Podcast, host Ben Azadi sits down with human performance expert Justin Roethlingshoefer for a deep, practical conversation on heart rate variability (HRV) and nervous system regulation. Justin explains why HRV is one of the most important metrics for long-term health, stress resilience, recovery, and longevity. Together, they explore how sleep, nutrition, exercise intensity, emotional stress, and daily lifestyle rhythms directly influence HRV, VO₂ max, and overall metabolic health. This episode delivers clear, actionable strategies to help listeners optimize recovery, reduce chronic stress, and build a body that feels safe enough to heal. Key Topics Covered What heart rate variability really measures and why it matters HRV as the nervous system's early warning system The difference between heart rate and heart rate variability How chronic stress suppresses recovery and healing The relationship between HRV, VO₂ max, and longevity Why most people are under-recovered, not overstressed Zone 2 and Zone 5 training explained simply How late-night eating disrupts sleep and HRV Sleep quality, REM sleep, and detoxification Practical ways to raise HRV without overdoing biohacks Book Mentioned
In this episode of Shift with CJ, I step into the guest seat on Dr. Jameel Rizwana Hussain's podcast Let the Soul Speak. Riz is a spiritual and manifestation coach, and together we explore what it really means to “upgrade your human”—going beyond biohacking tools and into purpose, spirituality, and inner fulfillment.We talk about how my journey into health didn't start with supplements or saunas. It started with pain. Growing up obese and being bullied pushed me toward martial arts, then fitness, CrossFit, and physical mastery. From the outside, things looked great—but inside, I felt hollow. That gap led me to search for happiness, peace, and meaning beyond the body.Biohacking gave me the science and language to understand longevity, energy, and performance. But over time, I realized something important: spirituality begins where biohacking ends. Biohacking can optimize sleep, HRV, and physical health, but it can't fill what I call the “eternal hole in the heart.” That's where spirituality comes in.RZ and I revisit a powerful idea we shared years ago: we are not human beings having a spiritual experience—we are spiritual beings having a human experience. This perspective reframes how we approach health, success, and suffering.We also dive into the meaning of my name, Chiranjivi, which in Sanskrit means “eternal” or “one who works toward longevity and well-being.” Once something I resisted, it later felt like a calling. I share my most spiritually transformative experience at the Maha Kumbh Mela and during Mahashivratri in Varanasi, where I experienced deep inner calm, heightened intuition, and a profound connection to Krishna.A key theme throughout the episode is moderation. Extremes—even in wellness—eventually backfire. The middle way, as taught by the Buddha, is what sustains health, clarity, and peace.Looking forward, my mission is to simplify biohacking, make optimization accessible to more people, and personally go much deeper into the spiritual path.Key TakeawaysBiohacking optimizes the body, spirituality fulfills the soul.Physical fitness alone doesn't guarantee inner peace.We are spiritual beings having a human experience.Moderation is the foundation of long-term wellness.Inner anchoring leads to clarity, joy, and fulfillment.5 Things You Can Start Doing TodaySpend time on inner work and find your spiritual anchor.Practice moderation in food, training, work, and habits.Wake up earlier and move your body daily.Connect with people and spend time outdoors.Get sunlight, ground yourself, and prioritize quality sleep.
In Episode 22 of Pursuit of Balance, we break down why tracking is one of the most underutilized tools in health, performance, and lifestyle—and why tracking without action can create anxiety instead of progress. We cover what to track (and what not to), how wearables like Whoop/Oura can help you improve sleep and recovery, why objective assessments drive motivation, and the 3 categories we use at Functional Lifestyles: body comp, performance, and movement. Key topics: HRV, resting heart rate, sleep consistency, Zone 2 cardio, progressive overload, mobility screens, nutrition tracking, blood work.

In Episode Three of Brave New World, Evgeny is joined by Will Ahmed, founder and CEO of WHOOP. Together, they explore recovery, sleep, and the idea that “you can't manage what you don't measure.” Ahmed explains how overtraining as a Harvard athlete led him to build his own wearable, identifying a major gap in health diagnostics at the time: measuring recovery, not just performance.He explains what WHOOP tracks - sleep quality, strain, heart rate variability (HRV), recovery, and stress; dives into why seven hours in bed can still mean poor sleep; and why consistency of bedtime and wake time often matters more than raw hours.Evgeny and Ahmed get practical on health trends, address the criticism that wearables culture a state of analysis paralysis and how to use metrics as a tool, not a verdict.This episode was produced by Message Heard and The Standard.Producer: Florence de SchlichtingProduction Coordinator: James CoxProduction Manager: Kirsty McLeanVideo Editor: Nani WenaniThe Standard team:Joe BromleyWill Rogers-Coltman Hosted on Acast.

This episode covers: • FDA Loosens Supplement Warning Labels The FDA is considering a rule change that would allow supplement companies to include the DSHEA disclaimer only once per package rather than next to every claim. Dave explains why fewer visible warnings could make marketing look more like medical claims, and why biohackers should treat labels as advertising rather than evidence. He shares how to protect yourself now: add one variable at a time, run baseline labs, and rely on data instead of packaging. Source: https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/fda-supplements-warning-label-rule-change-rfk-jr-rcna249321 • Quantum Sensors for Early Heart Attack Detection Mayo Clinic is testing a contactless heart-monitoring system called CardiAQ using quantum magnetic sensors and AI noise filtering. The device reads subtle electromagnetic signatures from the heart and compares them to invasive angiography. Dave breaks down why earlier detection of ischemia could shift heart care from reactive treatment to proactive screening — and why building baseline metrics like VO₂max, blood pressure and HRV today will pay off when next-gen diagnostics arrive. Source: https://www.sandboxaq.com/press/sandboxaq-collaborates-with-mayo-clinic-on-novel-cardiac-diagnostics • Sauna Detox for MicroplasticsEmerging research shows that sweating meaningfully removes plastic-related chemicals like BPA and phthalate metabolites from the body, often more efficiently than blood or urine alone. Sauna use amplifies this effect by increasing circulation, mobilizing stored toxins from tissues, and accelerating sweat-based excretion. When you combine regular heat exposure with reduced environmental plastic contact, you create a powerful detox strategy that targets a chemical burden once thought unavoidable. Dave breaks down how sauna protocols can support toxin elimination, improve cardiovascular resilience, strengthen autonomic balance, and help counteract the metabolic and hormonal disruptions linked to microplastics in modern life.Source: https://superage.com/can-you-sweat-out-microplastics-in-the-sauna/ • Psychedelics and Longevity Biomarkers Bryan Johnson treated a guided psilocybin experience as a structured longevity experiment, collecting nearly 250 biomarkers including CGM, stress markers, HRV and Kernel brain imaging. The experiment revealed a surprising metabolic change: mean glucose dropped 8 percent, variability fell 11 percent, and estimated HbA1c moved from 4.7 to 4.4 — similar to months of metformin but after a single session. Dave explores the emerging idea that neuroplastic events might influence glucose regulation through brain-pancreas signaling, while emphasizing the need for supervised, legal use and proper clinical trials. Source: https://www.businessinsider.com/bryan-johnson-trip-on-mushrooms-five-hours-live-2025-12 • A Mitochondrial Protein that Extends Mouse Lifespan Researchers boosted the mitochondrial protein COX7RP and extended mouse lifespan by ~6.6 percent while improving insulin sensitivity, lipid handling, endurance and liver fat metabolism. COX7RP supports formation of mitochondrial “supercomplexes,” improving respiratory efficiency and ATP generation. Dave explains how this reinforces lifestyle levers — strength training, aerobic capacity, stabilizing blood sugar — as tools that likely preserve supercomplex architecture and mitochondrial resilience.

Full Show Notes: BenGreenfieldLife.com/nicknorwitz In this episode with Dr. Nick Norwitz, you’ll get to discover how a Harvard-trained MD/PhD used a simple, eyebrow-raising experiment with Oreos to challenge conventional thinking on cholesterol, metabolism, and the stories told about health. We dive into his now-viral “Oreo experiment,” where adding Oreos to a ketogenic diet dropped his LDL cholesterol faster and more effectively than a high-intensity statin—an unexpected outcome that opens the door to deeper questions about lipid markers, risk factors, and how the body actually processes dietary fats. Nick Norwitz MD PhD is a researcher-educator whose mission is to “Make Metabolic Health Mainstream.” He graduated Valedictorian from Dartmouth College, majoring in Cell Biology and Biochemistry, before completing his PhD in Metabolism at the University of Oxford and his MD at Harvard Medical School. Nick has made a name for himself as a clinical research and metabolic health educator, speaking and writing on topics ranging from brain health, the microbiome, mental health, muscle physiology, mitochondrial function, cholesterol and lipids, and so on.

In this episode, Coach Debbie reveals why your thyroid isn't the problem — your cellular environment is. Learn how vagus nerve dysfunction, LPS, H. pylori, low stomach acid, sluggish bile, and mitochondrial stress block T4 → T3 conversion and prevent T3 (even medication!) from entering your cells. Debbie shares her personal case study connecting GI-MAP, MEScreen mitochondrial testing, blood chemistry, HRV, and vagus nerve suppression to low T3 activation, slow metabolism, and performance plateaus. Key topics: • Why T3 meds don't always work • How LPS blocks thyroid hormone • Gut–vagus–thyroid connection • Bile flow + fat-burning • Mitochondria + metabolism • How stress shuts down thyroid activation Pulsetto Vagus Nerve Stimulation:
As the year winds down, we're reflecting on the real gifts yoga has given us—beyond poses and flexibility. In this conversation, we talk about pranayama and nervous-system regulation (including HRV), learning acceptance as our bodies age, how yoga builds discernment around recovery, and what we're grateful for (including health, community, and the unexpected growth that comes from changing course as parents and professionals).If you're navigating stress, pain, aging, burnout, or a shifting relationship with practice, this episode is an honest look at what yoga can offer for the long haul—and what we're ready to let go of as we head into a new year.

In this episode of The Healers Café, Manon Bolliger and Dr William Kalatsky continue their discussion on holistic healing, focusing on Manon's partner Tony's chronic pain and emotional stress. Tony has been suffering from neuralgia pain since a shingles outbreak two years ago, which has been exacerbated by family conflicts and societal pressures. For the transcript and full story go to: https://www.drmanonbolliger.com/william-kalatsky2 Highlights from today's episode include: Dr. William explains Emotions create measurable physical effects, so clearing emotions can ease physical pain. Dr William describes how changing your inner "frequency" (beliefs and default emotions) gives you more freedom and choice. Manon shares that William helped clear her mind and had a peaceful impact on her. Manon and William discuss the importance of gratitude and how it can positively impact one's life. ABOUT DR WILLIAM KALATSKY: Dr. William Kalatsky is a pioneer in the field of consciousness and emotional healing. With decades of experience in chiropractic care, meditation, and energy work, he developed Field of Consciousness Healing, a method that helps people release trauma, dissolve limiting patterns, and step into new levels of clarity and freedom. At the heart of his work is a simple yet profound truth: emotions are frequencies stored in the body and field of consciousness. When unresolved, they continue to shape our thoughts, relationships, and health. Dr. William's method guides people to identify these patterns, clear the frequency of trauma, and install new emotional codes of peace, gratitude, and empowerment. He is the author of The Intuition Method, which offers practical tools to strengthen intuition, rewire subconscious patterns, and manifest aligned outcomes. His sessions and workshops have helped clients from all walks of life—professionals, entrepreneurs, and trauma survivors—experience rapid transformation. Many report that painful stories can be remembered without emotional charge after just one session. Dr. William's work bridges science and spirituality. Collaborations with institutions such as the University of Miami explore how brainwaves, HRV, and biometrics validate what thousands have experienced firsthand: when the field of consciousness is cleared, the mind and body reorganize into health, resilience, and creativity. Whether speaking on stage, leading group healings, or working one-on-one, Dr. William brings clarity, compassion, and a deep commitment to human potential. His mission is to show that freedom from trauma is possible—not in years of struggle, but often in moments of breakthrough. Core purpose/passion: My purpose is to help people free themselves from trauma by clearing the specific frequencies that keep old pain alive. This work is always evolving. Years ago, I was clearing the frequencies of migraine headaches in hospitals in England. That led me to discover that unresolved emotions were behind the pain. Each realization has taken me deeper, and I don't know where the next evolution will lead. What I do know is that when people release trauma and move into peace, joy, or love, it shifts not only their life but the frequency of the entire planet. – Facebook | YouTube | Instagram | LinkedIn | Website ABOUT MANON BOLLIGER: As a recently De-Registered board-certified naturopathic physician & in practice since 1992, I've seen an average of 150 patients per week and have helped people ranging from rural farmers in Nova Scotia to stressed out CEOs in Toronto to tri-athletes here in Vancouver.

I've been wearing an Oura Ring for a few months now, and after countless questions about it I am finally sharing my full, honest review. In this episode of Don't Depend On Daddy, I break down why I switched from traditional fitness trackers to the Oura Ring, how it's impacted my sleep, stress, anxiety, routines, and overall wellness, and who I truly think this device is (and is not) for. This is not a sponsored review - just my real experience using Oura as someone who values intentional living, routine, and long-term health. We talk sleep hygiene, readiness scores, stress and HRV, cycle tracking, behavior change, and how understanding your body can completely change how you show up in your life. If you've been considering the Oura Ring and want a wellness-focused perspective rather than a fitness-obsessed one, this episode is for you.Subscribe to Beyond Your Budget:https://breakyourbudget.substack.com/BREAK YOUR BUDGET RESOURCES:

Understanding your HRV (heart rate variable) and your PWV (Pulse Wave Velocity) can help you understand your cardiovascular health so you can be pro-active in your health. Don't wait until it's too late to address your heart health. Many doctors practice reactive medicine, waiting for problems like cardiovascular disease to arise before addressing them. This contrasts with a proactive medicine approach that focuses on cardiovascular disease prevention. Prioritizing health with healthy heart supplements and lifestyle changes can make a big difference.Supplements or other recommendations Dr Jake makes.

Send us a textIn this practical and eye-opening solo episode, Justin Roethlingshoefer returns to the studio after 37 days on the road to unpack one of the biggest frustrations he sees in clients today: we're drowning in health data—but starved for wisdom.Justin reflects on years of working with athletes, touring artists, entrepreneurs, and high performers who obsess over “perfect scores,” recovery percentages, and the chase for “optimal.” But the real breakthrough doesn't come from wearing more devices or collecting more numbers—it comes from interpreting what the body is actually saying.Through personal stories, experiences from touring, and a powerful real-life client transformation, Justin breaks down the wearable conundrum: the cultural lie that your device knows best. In reality, wisdom—not algorithms—is what creates sustainable change. He reveals the four metrics that actually matter, the 3-day trend rule, and why reacting to a single number is sabotaging your progress.TakeawaysRecovery, readiness, and sleep “scores” are man-made algorithms, not truth.Wisdom comes from raw metrics, not colors, badges, or percentages.The 3-day trend rule reveals patterns your daily numbers can't.Data without context leads to frustration, misalignment, and burnout.Your body tells the truth—technology can only reflect it.Stress is multi-dimensional: mental, physical, emotional, spiritual.Real progress comes from adjusting lifestyle rhythms, not adding hacks.Sound Bites“Chasing optimal keeps you from ever living optimal.”“Your wearable is a tool—not your identity, not your worth.”“Scores are algorithms; wisdom is interpretation.”“Knowledge is knowing. Wisdom is understanding.”“HRV is the language of your body's stress adaptation.”Chapters02:20 — Living It vs. Teaching It Why Justin vowed never to become a disconnected “expert.”04:15 — What You Actually Get From This Show Education + practical application from someone who lives it.06:00 — Introducing the Wearable Conundrum Why people chase “optimal” but never live it.08:30 — 37 Days on the Road: Data Chaos How fluctuating environments changed Justin's sleep and readiness.15:00 — Why Tools Don't Transform You Interpretation—not devices—is what creates wisdom and change.17:20 — The Four Metrics That Actually Matter HRV, VO2 max, sleep quality, resting HR/respiration rate.21:40 — Why Scores Are Misleading The problem with readiness, recovery, and strain algorithms.24:15 — HRV: The Longevity Metric What research reveals about HRV and all-cause mortality.34:00 — Interpreting Your Body's Language Moving from knowledge → understanding → wisdom → action.36:00 — Final Encouragement Own your different.

Send us a textA father that gives birth, a horse that says “no,” and an ER doctor who wants to keep you out of the hospital—this episode brings science and everyday choices into sharp focus. We start with a mind-bending dive into seahorses, where males carry the pregnancy and build a placenta-like environment from skin. New research shows familiar pregnancy genes at work inside the brood pouch, but with an unexpected hormonal switch: androgens, not estrogens, drive gestation. It's evolution repurposing its toolkit—and a powerful reminder that sex roles in nature are more flexible than we think.From there, we move into animal-assisted therapy and the role of consent in touch. A new study comparing dogs and horses found that forced interactions with horses raised heart rate and lowered HRV, signaling more stress, while choice calmed people down. Dogs showed no significant difference between conditions, suggesting human perception and species-specific behavior shape outcomes. If you run therapy programs, the insight is simple and humane: build animal choice into sessions, especially with horses, and track long-term welfare alongside human benefits.Then ER physician Dr. Shazma Mithani joins us to turn insight into prevention. We talk helmets for anything on wheels or snow, why e‑scooters drive more severe injuries per use than bikes, and how regular checkups and screening prevent emergencies before they start. We break down wildfire smoke—how particulates inflame lungs and harm the heart and brain—plus when to wear a well-fitted N95 outside and how to upgrade home air with MERV 11–13 filters or HEPA purifiers. Finally, we tackle measles: an airborne virus that lingers for hours, demands 95% vaccination for herd immunity, and is best stopped with two doses of MMR. Unsure where to get trusted answers?

Most people stay locked in a constant sympathetic state without realizing it, which drains focus, sleep quality, emotional balance, and long-term resilience. This episode gives you a science backed path to retrain your nervous system, improve heart rate variability, and shift out of stress on command using focused ultrasound technology that targets the vagus nerve. Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey talks with Jon Hacker, CEO of NeurGear and creator of ZenBud. Jon is a biomedical engineer who has dedicated his career to bridging neuroscience and daily wellness. His work includes peer reviewed clinical research on anxiety, PTSD, autonomic regulation, and non invasive vagus nerve stimulation. He is one of the first innovators to bring focused ultrasound out of the lab and into a practical wearable designed to help people regulate state, build resilience, and create more conscious control over their biology. In this conversation, Dave and Jon break down how ultrasound activates the auricular branch of the vagus nerve, why most electrical vagus nerve devices fail, and what actually happens in the first three to five minutes when the system begins shifting out of sympathetic activation. Jon explains how early trauma wires the autonomic system, why chronic stress is often physiological rather than psychological, and how daily stimulation strengthens vagal tone through Hebbian learning. They also explore how HRV reflects hidden state changes, how nervous system training supports clearer thinking and better emotional regulation, and why this type of tech matters as AI, algorithms, and modern stressors continue to push people into dysregulated states. You'll Learn: • Why sympathetic dominance is so widespread in the modern environment • How the vagus nerve influences stress, recovery, inflammation, and emotional balance • What makes focused ultrasound more precise than electrical vagus nerve stimulation • How ZenBud produced a 78 percent remission rate in clinical anxiety research • How early trauma alters autonomic patterns and keeps people in hidden fight or flight • How three to five minutes of stimulation can reset state during panic or overwhelm • Why daily use strengthens vagal tone and builds long term resilience • How HRV training, consciousness practices, and nervous system workouts fit together • Why noninvasive brain interfaces may become the safer future path as AI advances This episode is essential for anyone interested in biohacking, stress physiology, nervous system training, emotional regulation, HRV, meditation, trauma recovery, longevity, and building a more adaptable brain and body. It gives you a practical look at how the autonomic system really works and how focused ultrasound may change the future of human performance. Dave Asprey is a four-time New York Times bestselling author, founder of Bulletproof Coffee, and the father of biohacking. With over 1,000 interviews and 1 million monthly listeners, The Human Upgrade brings you the knowledge to take control of your biology, extend your longevity, and optimize every system in your body and mind.

You can outwork a lot of things, but you can't outwork bad sleep. In this episode of The Game Changing Attorney Podcast, Michael Mogill sits down with Dr. Michael Breus, renowned clinical psychologist and sleep expert, to break down the science, strategy, and psychology behind truly restorative sleep. From understanding your body's nightly repair cycle to optimizing your environment for peak recovery, this conversation is a masterclass in reclaiming your energy, focus, and longevity. Here's what you'll learn: Why sleep impacts every organ system — and how your body repairs physical and emotional stress while you rest How to determine your optimal sleep amount (and whether you're actually getting enough) What it takes to create a truly high-performance sleep environment and avoid the traps that wreck recovery If you want to win tomorrow, it starts with how you recover tonight. ---- Show Notes: 02:57 — Sleep 101: what deep sleep and REM actually do (physical repair vs. emotional “metabolism”) and why the glymphatic system matters. 10:26 — There's no one-size-fits-all “optimal” sleep — how to know your right amount and when low sleep becomes a red flag for underlying disorders. 15:16 — Sleep debt and social jet lag: when catching up works (teens) and when it backfires for adults. 18:06 — The “napa-latte” and smart napping: how to use short naps and caffeine to survive a bad night without sabotaging the next one. 20:02 — The sleep system audit: mattress, pillow, air quality, light, sound, and temperature — the practical adjustments that move the needle. 29:29 — Which gadgets help vs. harm: why mouth tape is dangerous, when nasal dilators work, and the limits of sleep trackers. 32:34 — Alcohol and meal timing: how much, how early, and the three-hour rule to protect your deep sleep. 39:00 — Caffeine and cannabis timing: caffeine's half-life, green tea/matcha alternatives, and how THC/CBD impact REM and HRV. 45:06 — Supplements decoded: magnesium, vitamin D, and why most people don't need nightly melatonin — plus important dosing pitfalls. 51:09 — Creatine and sleep deprivation: what current research actually supports (and what it doesn't). ---- Links & Resources: Dr. Michael Breus Sleep, Drink, Breathe: Simple Daily Habits for Profound Long-Term Health by Dr. Michael Breus Orion Sleep Oura Ring WHOOP Strap ---- Do you love this podcast and want to see more game changing content?

Many people today describe a pattern they cannot explain. Life feels manageable until something unexpected happens at work or home, then the body suddenly shuts down. The mind spins, energy collapses, irritability rises, and the only thing that feels safe is withdrawing into the couch, the phone, or Netflix. This is not laziness or burnout. This is functional freeze. In this hol+ conversation, Dr. Taz sits down with environmental and root cause medicine expert Dr. Jessica Peatross (Dr. Jess) to reveal why so many people experience chronic fatigue, anxiety, weight gain, histamine reactions, food sensitivities and unexplained inflammation even when routine labs look normal.Instead of chasing symptoms or isolated toxins, Dr. Jess explains how a dysregulated nervous system alters detox, hormones, digestion, immunity and gene expression. She breaks down how trauma, mold exposure, hidden infections, parasites and environmental chemicals overload the body when the vagus nerve is stuck in fight, flight or freeze. And she shows why healing is impossible when the body does not feel safe.From childhood trauma and dorsal vagal shutdown to blocked drainage pathways, cytokine storms, reactivated viruses and misdiagnosed environmental illness, this episode reframes chronic symptoms through a lens of nervous system physiology, not personal weakness or aging.You will learn what functional freeze looks like, why detox often makes people worse, how to identify nervous system dysregulation, and the steps Dr. Jess uses to help patients regulate, open pathways and finally begin to heal. Together, Dr. Taz and Dr. Jess outline a clear, compassionate roadmap for anyone who has ever felt dismissed, overwhelmed or stuck in a body that will not calm down.Dr. Taz and Dr. Jess discuss: • What functional freeze is and why it shows up in daily life • How nervous system dysregulation drives fatigue, anxiety and chronic symptoms • The role of mold, parasites, toxins and environmental chemicals in chronic illness • Why detox fails when the body does not feel safe • Vagus nerve physiology and dorsal vs ventral vagal states • How trauma, stress and grief reshape hormones, immune function and methylation • Medical dismissal and the reality of normal labs with real symptoms • The drainage pathways that must open before detox • Histamine issues, MCAS, POTS and their connection to the nervous system • Tools that help regulate the system and support healing • How to track progress through sleep, HRV, emotional stability and digestion • Why healing is not linear and why support and community matterAbout Dr. Jessica Peatross Dr. Jessica Peatross is a functional and environmental medicine expert known for her work on nervous system dysregulation, toxin-driven illness and trauma informed detox. She is the founder of WellnessPlus, an educational platform teaching step-by-step protocols for mold, parasites, drainage and nervous system healing. Her approach blends clinical training with nervous system science to uncover root causes often missed in conventional care.Stay Connected:Connect further to Hol+ at https://holplus.co/- Don't forget to like, subscribe, and hit the notification bell to stay updated on future episodes of hol+.Follow Dr. JessInstagram: https://instagram.com/dr.jess.md/YouTube: https://youtube.com/@DoctorJessMDWebsiet: https://drjessmd.com/ Follow Dr. Taz on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drtazmd/https://www.instagram.com/liveholplus/Subscribe to the audio podcast: https://holplus.transistor.fm/subscribeSubscribe to the video podcast: https://www.youtube.com/@DrTazMD/podcastsGet your copy of The Hormone Shift: Balance Your Body and Thrive Through Midlife and MenopauseHost & Production TeamHost: Dr. Taz; Produced by ClipGrowth.com (Producer: Pat Gostek)
In episode 375 of The Physical Performance Show, Coach Lino Holler and Exercise Physiologist Alex Butchies—founders of The Breath Room—join hosts Hugh Darnell and Brad Beer to unpack the science, the soul, and the surprising simplicity behind breathwork. Known for blending physiological precision with deep nervous-system awareness, Lino and Alex explain how breath training can radically influence performance, recovery, emotional regulation, and everyday resilience. They share the models they've built for athletes, clinicians and everyday performers—equipping listeners to understand when to activate, when to regulate, when to release, and how to stay composed under pressure.

A well-balanced nervous system can go fast, slow, and always find its way back to centre." — Alex Butchies "Most people breathe all day, but not efficiently. Awareness is the gateway." "When your breath is compromised, your body will sacrifice everything else to get it back." "Breathwork is the universal tool to shift your state—faster than anything else."

In this episode, the world's #1 pickleball player, Ben Johns, joins Anders Varner, Doug Larson, Travis Mash, and Dr. Mike Lane to unpack what it really takes to stay at the top of one of the fastest-growing sports on the planet. Ben walks through the insane travel schedule, the perpetual in-season demands, and the growing physical toll of a sport played in deep athletic stances, high-velocity lateral movements, and multi-hour tournament days. For the past year, Ben has partnered with RAPID Health Optimization to build a data-driven system around sleep, recovery, hydration, nutrition, and personalized strength and conditioning giving him a competitive edge in a sport where consistency and longevity are becoming just as important as pure skill. The team breaks down how RAPID reverse-engineered the physiology of pickleball by analyzing metabolic demands, movement patterns, travel stress, and tournament structure. Ben shares what has changed the most: HRV-driven sleep routines, hydration and electrolyte protocols, rapid-turnaround nutrition systems during six-day competition blocks, and gym programming that prioritizes leg strength, acceleration, deceleration, rotational power, and the ability to repeatedly produce peak output with minimal fatigue. With only an eight-week "off-season" each year, Ben's entire training plan now revolves around precision dosing of fatigue, auto-regulation, and strategic recovery backed by data from Oura, lab analysis (blood, stool, saliva, urine) and the RAPID coaching team. Finally, the conversation moves into the strategic side of dominance: pattern recognition, the metagame of adjustments, and the ability to keep learning in a young sport where the rules of mastery are still being written. Ben explains how having a full-stack performance team allows him to focus on playing, developing new skills, and outlasting opponents who aren't managing sleep, travel, workload, or recovery with the same level of precision. If you want an inside look at how the best player in the world trains, prepares, and stays healthy and how RAPID Health Optimization builds elite longevity systems for professional athletes this episode is a must-listen.

Episode Description The invisible threat destroying your health isn't in your diet—it's in the air around you. A former T-Mobile VP exposes what the telecom industry doesn't want you to know about EMFs, 5G, and the frequency attack on your nervous system. Philipp Von Holtzendorff-Fehling walked away from his Vice President position at T-Mobile after discovering that electromagnetic fields from 4G, 5G, Wi-Fi, and blue light aren't just background noise—they're actively damaging your brain, blood, and autonomic nervous system within seconds of exposure. But the most shocking revelation? "When you get an iPhone 15 or 16 next to your ear and start a 5G call, it stresses your whole brain including your limbic system. That translates into anxiety, stress, depression, and chronic migraines." Dr. G sits down with Philipp to reveal the double-blind studies showing how frequency medicine can reverse EMF damage, improve heart rate variability, reduce parasitic load, and protect your nervous system from electromagnetic radiation that's destroying your health 24/7. Discover the science-backed truth about quantum healing and why EMF protection is now a non-negotiable for anyone struggling with chronic stress, brain fog, anxiety, or unexplained health issues that won't resolve—no matter how clean your diet or how many supplements you take. In This Episode: How EMFs attack your limbic system and destroy HRV within seconds (measurable on EEG) The double-blind studies showing frequency devices improve red blood cells, white blood cells, and reduce parasitic load by 40% Why chronic Lyme disease, autoimmune conditions, and fertility issues are linked to electromagnetic field exposure How 5G towers and Wi-Fi create the "great poisoning" driving chronic disease epidemics The quantum technology that neutralizes EMF stress and protects your nervous system 24/7 How to structure water and food with frequency medicine for optimal cellular absorption Why your blood clotting, brain waves, and autonomic nervous system are under constant electromagnetic attack The connection between EMF exposure and rising rates of anxiety, depression, and chronic migraines How frequency medicine healed chronic Lyme disease when antibiotics failed The science of quantum energy fields and why everything (including your body) operates on frequency If your nervous system feels stuck in fight-or-flight even when life looks fine on paper, this episode reveals the invisible energetic attack you can't see but your body is desperately trying to process.

This episode is brought to you by Fatty15, WHOOP and Timeline. Dr. Patrick Porter, PhD joins us today to break down what brain fitness really means and why modern life is overwhelming a biological system that was never designed for today's pace. Dr. Porter explains how brain energy, neuroplasticity, breathwork, mitochondria, sleep architecture, stress physiology, light exposure, and daily rituals all influence our ability to think clearly, recover deeply, and perform at a high level. We explore the science behind neurogenesis, the glymphatic system, alpha and delta brainwave states, the impact of sugar and artificial sweeteners on cognitive decline, how breathing and light frequencies regulate the nervous system, and why most people are unknowingly compromising their sleep, metabolism, and cognitive output. Packed with actionable tools—from box breathing and SMR training to healthier morning routines, supplements, and digital hygiene—this episode is a masterclass on how to build a sharper brain and age better.
