On today's edition of KVC-Arts, David speaks with former guest, Raymond Strait. Raymond is a prolific author with ties all around this region, and in addition to his books on Bob Hope, Jayne Mansfield, Rosemary Clooney, and more, at the age of 97 – he's still writing. David also sits down with Joe Di Fiore about his release, “Out of the Woods,” a blend of classical and contemporary instrumental works, several of which are of his own composition.

In today's edition, David Fleming has a conversation with Joe Di Fiore, a regional multi-instrumentalist. Joe Di Fiore talks about his release, “Into the Woods ," combining works by classical and jazz composers . He is also seen playing with Eva and the Vagabond Tales.

Joe Di Fiore kicks things off for 2021. He’s an American sax and wind player who also composes and arranges. In a fantastic American accent, he shares some helpful tips about setting your home studio for remote recording (seeing as this is the reality for a lot of musos at the moment). We also chatted about the positives of smaller family gatherings, switching between different wind instruments, the importance for composers to have performing experience and being patient. Mentioned in this episode: @joedifioremusic YouTube: JD WindsMario Kart 8 Big Blue and Mute City Mash up: https://youtu.be/yHe8n9760I8 The Mario Kart Lick: https://youtu.be/3rD-tdEFKlg Joedifiore.com

My guest this week is saxophonist, clarinetist, flautist, composer, and arranger Joe Di Fiore. Mr. Di Fiore is a freelance musician in the Los Angeles area, performing as a multi-instrumental and multi-genre artist, with experience as swing band musician, Broadway musician, recording artist, and classical musician. He has had the pleasure of performing and recording alongside artists such as Rod Stewart, Matthew Morrison, Susan Egan, and Clay Jenkins. Mr. Di Fiore is also the lead saxophonist of the Glenn Miller Orchestra, with whom he toured Australia and Hawaii, most recently in 2017. In addition to his performance and recording ventures, he has just released his album, Out of the Woods, a classical music album which he produced himself and in which he performs as a multi-instrumentalist. The question of the week is, "How can classical musicians create opportunities for themselves?" Joe and I discuss how changes in the world have affected the field of classical music, how barriers between genres are slowly coming down, what it's like working as a multi-instrumentalist, how musicians can cultivate an online presence, and his new album, Out of the Woods. You can find out more about Joe on his website, joedifiore.com, or on Instagram @joedifioremusic. His album, Out of the Woods, can be found on Spotify.

We begin tonight with "Escape to the North" form Challenge of the Yukon and continue with "Lou Substitutes for Joe Di Maggio" on Abbott & Costello!

Dr. Ara Suppiah is the Chief Medical Analyst on the NBC Sports Golf Channel and a personal physician to some of the world’s top professional golfers. He is also an emergency doctor and an assistant professor in Clinical Medicine at the University of Central Florida Medical School. In this podcast, Dr. Ara and Joe discuss how to maintain a physically active lifestyle at a time when many gyms are closed. They also consider how to best nourish our bodies and support our immune systems when we are feeling especially stressed and anxious. Dr. Ara is a passionate believer in the concept of free medicine and the tremendous health benefits of fresh air, exercise, proper sleep, and nutritious food. After spending time with the Hadza tribe in Tanzania, he has become acutely aware of the value of community and he emphasizes the importance of social interaction and the need to stay connected even when we are practicing social distancing. Quicksilver ScientificOn today’s show, Dr. Ara and I discuss Quinton, the first intentionally “structured water” supplement in existence. This 100+ year old medicine, derived from seawater, is a wildly effective first line of defense almost no matter what ails you! Now I’ve told you about many of my favorite QS products, like NAD+ Gold and Immune Charge, but now these rockstars have created something called the Quarantine Recovery Program which I am completely excited about!It’s a three-month kit that starts with a 30-day restore program, which includes a total-body detox and a liver detox (with alcohol consumption up about 55% since lockdown began, this something a lot of people could probably use). Month two is all about activating natural cellular detoxification pathways through AMPK stimulation. AMPK is essentially the metabolic master switch that tells the body to convert fat into usable fuel. Month three is all about elevating energy production, with amazing products that include a brand new NAD booster called NAD Platinum. It contains the same NMN as NAD Gold, with added nutraceuticals and molecules to give the effects even more of a boost.These guys at Quicksilver make the best nutraceuticals that I know of.

With a storied educational background and an insatiable sense of curiosity, Dr. Dennis Rebelo is deeply invested in the exploration of what it really means to be human. As an academic and a consultant, he uses his experience to help diverse groups of people, from students to CEOs, begin to understand the power of personal narratives and grow in their self-understanding and organizational effectiveness. Dr. Dennis takes a practical, human-centric approach to leadership identity, offering concrete ways to leverage the concept of self-authorship to benefit individuals, teams, and entire organizations.Over the course of our deeply informative and highly applicable conversation, Dr. Dennis explains the methodology of "story pathing," what the eight mental muscles are and how they function both independently and in relationship with each other, how Maslow's hierarchy of needs shapes an individual's personal narrative, and why anchor points are more crucial than ever in our modern culture of superficiality. We discuss the value and shortcomings of personality tests, look at the dangers of the absence of personal reflection, and unpack practical ways to connect with our purpose and create formative experiences. Dennis and his work have helped me to understand my past, and tell MY story especially, as I often need to do in different ways depending on the audience I am seeking to connect with. If you want to grow in your ability as a leader, this episode is a great place to start.Proudly Sponsored ByBiOptimizersIf there’s ONE MINERAL you should be worried about not getting enough of... it’s MAGNESIUM. Magnesium is the body’s “master mineral” powerful over 300 critical reactions, including detoxification... fat metabolism... energy... EVEN digestion is influenced by the presence of magnesium. There are two BIG PROBLEMS here: Magnesium has been largely missing from US soil since the 1950s... which explains why it’s estimated that up to 80% of the population may be deficient...Most supplements contain only 1 or 2 forms of magnesium... when in reality there are at least 7 that your body needs and benefits from.The good news is that when you DO get all 7 critical forms of magnesium, pretty much every function in your body gets upgraded, from your brain, to your sleep, to your pain and inflammation, it all improves... and FAST. That’s why I’m so excited about what my friends over at BiOptimizers—makers of industry-leading digestive supplements—have just created. Their research team recently formulated what I believe is the ULTIMATE magnesium supplement, with all 7 forms of this mineral. They even include trace amounts of something called “mono-atomic magnesium” which helps make all the other forms more bioavailable. This is BY FAR the most complete magnesium product ever created, and until or unless someone comes out with a better one, I highly recommend you give it a try. BiOptimizers calls this product Magnesium Breakthrough and they’re running a special promotion for you at www.bioptimizers.com/stacked.

Dr. Stuart McGill is a renowned expert. In fact, myself and many others would consider him the pretty undisputed authority on back pain. He’s had a profound influence on my own training as well as the programming that I do for people around the world every month. A professor at the University of Waterloo for over 30 years, Dr. McGill’s work generated over 240 peer-reviewed scientific journal papers, contributed to several textbooks, and garnered international awards. His knowledge and expertise has informed leading personal training certifications, core training programs, and prominent workshops like RKC and StrongFit.Joining me from Canada, Dr. Stuart (or Stu, as he asks me to call him) proves an exceptionally good sport as I throw a number of complex questions his way. Dr. Stu shares insight into his work with the St. Louis Cardinals and explains how he was able to predict back injuries before they happened with 100% accuracy. He also gives us a glimpse into his diagnostic methods and walks us through how approaches to training should change over time to support shifting goals and advance longevity. Want relief from your back pain? Start here!Proudly Sponsored ByVivobarefootAnecdotally, a significant number of people have experienced relief from much of their back pain after spending more time barefoot or switching to a pair of Vivobarefoot shoes. Squishing our feet into stiff, heeled shoes disrupts the entire postural chain that’s connected to our feet! Suddenly our knees operate a little less optimally, our backs are a little tilted, and our shoulders are a little forward – all because of the crazy shoe tech that’s supposed to be making us more comfortable. The response is often tension, and that tension resides in our backs and hips. Vivobarefoot shoes, on the other hand, are wide, lightweight, and zero drop to reconnect and “rewild” us to our natural gait patterns and muscular systems from toe to head. They’re perfect for every occasion, from casual wear to training, and they’re made from sustainable materials!Use code STACKED at checkout to save 15% on your entire cart!Quicksilver ScientificI’ve told you about my favorite QS products, like NAD+ Gold and Immune Charge, but now these rockstars have created something called the Quarantine Recovery Program.

Jared Veldheer is a former (?) NFL offensive tackle with an impressive resume, having played for the Raiders, Cardinals, Broncos, and Packers over the course of his 10-year career. (Is it really over though? Not even Veldheer knows!) His experience as a professional athlete gave him considerable insight into good recovery and maintenance practices, and now he’s on a mission to share his knowledge about health and wellness with a wider audience through his YouTube channel and other platforms. The father of two children, Jared is dedicated to passing on his healthy habits and exposing his kids to the world around them through international travel.Jared joins me virtually to offer a glimpse into what it’s really like to be an NFL player. He discusses the difference between playing hurt and playing injured (and how a hurt can turn into an injury if you’re not careful), his process of discovering recovery and maintenance tools and then sharing his strategies with his teammates, and just how many team meetings he was required to attend in a given week. We talk about our favorite biohacks, including red light therapy, box breathing, and ice baths, and Jared gives us some insight into linebacker nutrition and the changes he’s made in his diet since retiring. Even given his imposing stature, there’s a whole lot more to Jared Veldheer than meets the eye.

Paul Chek is the original holistic nutrition and lifestyle guru. If you listened to Part 1 of this show, you heard Paul share just a small fraction of his wisdom and on today’s show we dive a lot deeper. Now, I’ll warn you, a lot of people won’t be ready to hear some of what Paul shares on today’s show, from the idea that bacon might not be too good for us all the way to exposing the interests and history of government agencies, and finally landing on the spiritual beliefs he holds to explain the world we are currently living in. Paul has practiced in the realms of deep spirituality since he was a child. He has studied religion and philosophy more deeply than anybody I’ve ever met. Personally, I choose to trust Paul’s word above anyone else’s with the health decisions I make for myself and for my son. That doesn’t mean you should do the same – in fact, one of the first lessons Paul shares with his students is that you should not simply BELIEVE in what he’s saying just because he’s saying it. You owe it to yourself and others to do your OWN research, your own investigation, and your own spiritual practice to discover the truth that YOU believe. And it’s in that vein that I share today’s show with you. You don’t hear this kind of candid, highly educated discourse very often these days. And it is only when we are exposed to a diverse field of opinions that we can become truly educated and discerning.

Galahad Clark is a seventh-generation member of the Quaker family that founded Clarks shoes in England in 1825. Despite being born into this established footwear legacy, Galahad decided to forge his own path by creating Vivobarefoot, a natural and minimal shoe company. Not one to take the easy road, Galahad recognized the need for a shift back to basics and took the opportunity to develop footwear that provides protection while allowing for natural motion and maximum sensory feedback. It was a slow start, but the barefoot shoe movement is growing as an increasing number of people discover the joys of foot freedom.I sat down to chat with Galahad about his experience as the self-proclaimed “black sheep” of a family known for their shoe company. He explains the vision and direction of Vivobarefoot and shares some insight into the future of materials for greater sustainability. We discuss the best way to transition to barefoot shoes, how the Sami people are doing it right, and how much of a difference minimalist footwear (or no footwear at all) can make in kids’ movement patterns and skeletal alignment. It’s a super informative, no-nonsense chat that draws a strong line between foot health and overall well-being. Prepare to be fascinated!

It’s just me on the mic again this week, breaking down some common causes for stress and how to approach your training when you’re feeling the effects of sleeplessness, anxiety, or mental fatigue. Given the prevalence of sayings like “no pain, no gain,” and popular fitness methodologies like CrossFit and HIIT, it’s easy to fall into the trap of thinking that fitness isn’t worthwhile if every workout isn’t an all-or-nothing, max-effort beatdown that leaves you lying in a puddle of your own sweat. When you’re already feeling beat down, that kind of training is neither appealing nor beneficial. But that doesn’t mean you have to take a break from fitness completely – you just have to be smarter about it. This episode will give you a good idea of what that looks like, from general elements to specific workout ideas. Enjoy!Proudly Sponsored ByTraeger GrillsOne of the things I talk about in today’s show is the idea of cultivating a powerful, confident relationship inside of our own bodies.

Daniel DeBaun is an internationally recognized expert on electromagnetic radiation, or EMF. His interest and his concern grew over the course of his 30 years of work in the telecommunications industry. As an industry authority overseeing the analysis of EMF interference, Dan saw firsthand just how disruptive EMF can be to our brains and our health. He has written and spoken extensively about health issues related to EMF, guesting frequently on national radio and TV programs. Together with Ryan DeBaun, he co-wrote Radiation Nation: The Fallout of Modern Technology, and co-founded DefenderShield®️, a company that produces “the most effective EMF radiation shielding technology for electronic devices ever developed.”Dan joins me from afar to dive into the research on EMF and why it isn’t common knowledge, despite the clear link between radiation and cancer. He explains how his background in telecommunications shaped his interest – and then his concern – in EMF and the role it plays in disrupting our connection to the environment. We discuss hypersensitivity and why it affects certain people disproportionately, what factors make liver detoxes such an unpleasant experience, the effects of RF on pregnancy, and whether 5G is more or less harmful than Bluetooth. It’s not exactly a lighthearted chat, but don’t worry: Protecting yourself and your family is easier than you might think, and Dan offers all kinds of tips for reducing the danger of EMF in your home and your life.In This Episode:DefenderShield.com (Use code STACKED for 20% OFF)Radiation Nation: The Fallout of Modern Technology The New Biology of WaterSponsored by:KION AminosIf you haven’t already heard me talk about KION, you’ve got to check this company out.

I’m on the mic by myself this week to give you an in-depth look at Emilía’s supplementation routine during her pregnancy. As possibly “the world’s first keto vegan,” she had some unique challenges to overcome – not to mention that we’ve traveled extensively during quarantine and she gave birth in Europe! It’s been quite an adventure just getting to the moment of birth but we are thrilled to have welcomed our son Leon Thor DiStefano into the world and excited for the future of our family. Mom and baby are both healthy and recovering well, and we wanted to share the supplements and strategies that helped to see them safely through pregnancy and labor.

My very first guest is back! Dr. Jen Esquer is a Doctor of Physical Therapy and she’s ranked as one of the Best Fitness Trainers on Instagram by Shape Magazine. Her resume is impressive, but what’s even cooler is her mission: to help anyone who’s willing to learn how to listen to their own body to address pain at the source and establish the foundation for true, sustainable health. Doc Jen does private sports therapy, creates online programs and workshops, and is featured as a speaker at fitness gatherings worldwide (when gatherings were happening worldwide, that is). Always on the move, Jen hosts her own podcast now – the Optimal Body Podcast – and recently got engaged!We get right down to it with an in-depth exploration of common pain complaints and how the overly cushioned footwear so many of us are conditioned to gravitate toward is causing problems all the way up the chain. I share my experience with Spartan-racing soccer players, and Doc Jen gives us the PT’s view of what’s actually happening when we experience knee, hip, and back pain. Of course we talk about my favorite minimalist shoes, made by Vivobarefoot (Jen loves them too!), and how to transition into them gradually. We discuss the hang-ups that might prevent people from embracing more ergonomic footwear, and make a list of conditions under which minimalist shoes aren’t actually the best choice. If you haven’t listened to my episode with Kris Gethin, I highly recommend you start there for an intro into minimalist footwear.

Rejecting the approach of “standard care,” Dr. Will Cole dives deep into each of his patients’ presenting symptoms to find the physiological, biochemical, and hormonal causes that lie at the root of so many modern health concerns and illnesses. He uses groundbreaking testing and analysis techniques to personalize his healthcare treatment for each patient and provides the support they need to take charge of their health for themselves. A leading functional medicine expert and one of the top 50 functional medicine and integrative doctors in the nation, Dr. Will specializes in health programs for thyroid issues, autoimmune conditions, hormonal dysfunctions, digestive disorders, and brain problems.I had the honor of chatting with Dr. Will about homeostasis and how he brings his patients back to a place of balance after living in a state of unhealth. We discuss autoimmune triggers, the value of sleep and morning routines, gratitude, inflammation, and what a healthy use of technology looks like. Dr. Will talks about ways in which wellness can be taken to an extreme and breaks down the steps he takes to intervene when exercise and mindfulness become detrimental rather than elevating. With a deep-seated understanding of the importance of treating each patient as a complex human being and not a set of labs, Dr. Will’s approach to addressing chronic illness and restoring wellbeing is changing lives and breaking harmful habits for good. Elite biohackers and average Joes alike can benefit from his vast knowledge of functional medicine.Proudly Sponsored ByKionPerhaps the most important supplement on our counter right now is KION Aminos.

He wakes up every day with no hangover, ready to meditate and work out and do it all over again.

There have been over 2,000 research papers published on the impact of EMF radiation on biology and health, and many of them have demonstrated a clear link between cell phone radiation and cancer. And yet, the media remains largely silent. That’s why Arthur Menard de Calenge decided to take matters into his own hands...and, well, underwear. Using technology first pioneered by NASA for space suits, he created LAMBS EMF-blocking boxer shorts.LAMBS has generously sponsored this podcast in the past, so you already know how much I love these products. In this episode, Arthur and I get into the why of LAMBS—what EMF is, how much of a threat it really poses, and why we can’t just put radiation-blocking cases on our cell phones. We talk about the mitigation strategies we’ve employed over the years, which of them are realistic in the modern age, and what’s on the horizon for LAMBS. There’s a lot we still don’t know about the effects of radiation, but it pays to be informed. This episode will get you up to speed in no time.

As a lifelong pursuer of optimal wellness, Mike has been searching for better solutions to common problems since his athlete days. After an illustrious career as a pole vaulter launched him into the field of medicine, Mike started questioning the conflict inherent in treating harmful conditions with harmful interventions. He found a distinct lack of medically-backed programs that advocated for a healthier lifestyle, and he became determined to fill that need. Now Board Certified in Anti-Aging and Regenerative Medicine, Mike owns and practices out of the Age Management Institute in Santa Barbara.It gets science-y real quick when we sit down to talk about the way peptides slow down the aging process. Mike jumps right into the benefits of various peptides—including NAD, epitalon, dihexa, and FGL(l)—for sleep, autoimmune symptoms, menstrual health, and, of course, anti-aging. We trade stories about our experiences with food intolerances, take a close look at the societies known for longevity, and explore the influence of epigenetics on conditions like obesity. In the future, RUNGA experiences will incorporate practices that facilitate anti-aging, and I hope this episode gets you as excited for what’s ahead as it got me!Proudly Sponsored ByQuicksilver ScientificAre you flushing money down the toilet with less than optimal supplements?

Over 25 years ago, Jean-Pierre LeBlanc found himself at his wit’s end. After conventional medicine failed to bring him any relief from the chronic pain he suffered as a result of a major car accident, he turned to natural remedies and ayurvedic practices and discovered the transformative power of holistic wellness.

What would you say to your younger self? Dr. Katelyn Kalstein got a chance to answer that question when she experienced ketamine therapy, a promising (but not new) approach to alleviating depression by resetting the brain. A longtime advocate of natural medicine, Dr. Katelyn is a functional medicine practitioner who works with her patients to develop personalized treatment plans for body, mind, and spirit. After becoming disillusioned with conventional treatment approaches that mask symptoms without addressing the root problem, Dr. Katelyn went searching for a better solution—one that would promote true healing and health.Having experienced the fascinating effects of ketamine myself, I couldn’t wait to sit down with Dr. Katelyn and take a deep dive into mental health, the reasons we experience depression, how ketamine combats those feelings, and why antidepressants are so harmful and hard to quit. This conversation absolutely did not disappoint. Dr. Katelyn’s story is incredible and her work is changing lives and literally reshaping brains. Don’t miss this episode!

Self-described as “a self-improvement junkie, a nut-job, an early adopter, a tinkerer, a quick-start, and a life-explorer,” Andy Petranek is also the creator of the Whole Life Challenge, a life coach, an avid outdoorsman, and a lifelong devotee to the pursuit of growth and knowledge. His leadership experience as a Marine equipped him with the skills that brought him success as one of the first CrossFit affiliate owners, and his focus on improving the lives of the “normal” people in his community led him to develop the Whole Life Challenge. To this day, his mission is to “help clients stay committed to making better choices each day, outside of the gym, where it really matters, in their everyday lives.”Andy joins me for a chat about the apps that improve our lives, unusual sleeping practices, the reason a lack of motivation is keeping people stuck in unhealthy patterns, and the benefits of isometric movement. We explore the connection between mouth-breathing and respiratory rate, look at strategies for longevity, and discuss both the foundational methodology of CrossFit and our thoughts on where the brand is headed. I couldn’t have the founder of the Whole Life Challenge on the show without talking about the Whole Life Challenge, of course—so we dive into what it is, why everyone should do it, and what the best starting place is.

Gil is the Chief Scientific Officer of InsideTracker and an internationally-recognized authority on the science of aging. He leads a team of experts in the development of algorithms and databases that analyze biochemical and physiological markers and determine their optimal ranges.In the age of fad diets and nutrition trends, Gil works to educate people on the true indicators of health. There is no one-size-fits-all approach, and what may move the needle in the right direction for one person might make no change for the next. We hit the ground running in this episode, cutting through the noise and getting right down to the markers that really matter (and they're not the ones most people pay attention to!).

Today's episode is a “repost” from my good friend Pete Evans’s podcast H.E.A.L. Pete and I recently shared this unfiltered conversation around health that I felt compelled to share with listeners of Stacked. Pete asked some excellent questions—in truth, he caught me off-guard with most of them—which gave me the opportunity to share some perspectives that I feel may be really helpful for listeners as we enter the new year.In this episode, I discuss the difference between health and fitness, and why culture and our ancestral roots matter—especially when it comes to diet in a nutritional space that seems to leave no room for wine, bread, or cheese. I break down exactly how we tend to make becoming “healthy” stressful through over-analyzing, over-controlling, and becoming our own worst enemy. Lastly, I share some thoughts on endurance training and what I believe to be the healthiest way to get fit for ultra running.It’s always fun to take a turn in the hot seat, and I hope you enjoy listening to this episode as much as I enjoyed recording it!

If you have neurological deficiencies, Dr. John Marchese can help you solve them. A Boston local with extensive chiropractic training, Dr Marchese has witnessed the rise of strength and conditioning gyms and seen the good, the bad, and the ugly. Rather than promoting general fitness or “training for life,” he advocates specific training based on your sport, your goals, and your history of physical activity.“You can’t train an NHL player the same way you train a 14-year-old lacrosse player.”His methods may seem unconventional, but the results speak for themselves. I met Dr. Marchese when I was starting my business and still experiencing the effects of prefrontal cortex damage. Through specific treatment, he helped me to retrain my brain to function correctly and balance my deficiencies. In this episode, we talk about my rehabilitation process, specific fitness for unique individuals, the link between weight training and addictions, why trap bar deadlifts are a terrible exercise, and a whole lot more.Proudly Sponsored ByPatreonSupport from listeners helps me and my team continue to provide valuable content and eventually expand to more weekly episodes and video.

There’s a difference between fitness and athleticism, and Coach Todd Cambio, CSCS, trains athletes to be ready for anything by improving their strength, speed, and agility. He practices what he preaches, maximizing the benefit of his own training by doing his research, moving with intention, and implementing biomechanical techniques. Whether it’s kettlebell training, Spartan racing, or burpees, Coach Cambio has a highly educated opinion on it (and probably a certification for it, too).“Everything I do is based on being a better athlete. I train to be better in life.”We take a deep dive into Cambio’s kettlebell background, athletic history, and thoughts on current fitness trends. He walks us through his corrective process for an athlete with back pain and explains when it’s a good idea to opt for a heavier kettlebell. As an aging athlete himself, Todd has firsthand insight into the process of adjusting athletic expectations over time. While he’s no stranger to intense workouts, he encourages listeners—from serious competitors to average Joes—to know their “why” and train accordingly. No matter where you fall on the continuum, you’ll benefit from this episode.“You have to know what your why is and why you like to do it and just do it. Get to your destination on the right roads.”Inside TrackerBlood doesn’t lie.

Dr. Paul, Carnivore MD, is the leading advocate of a carnivore diet as a promising solution for a number of common ailments, specifically autoimmune conditions, chronic inflammation, and a number of mental health issues. Paul aims to combat misinformation with verified research and correct the roots of chronic disease.“There are no plant compounds that act as direct free-radical scavengers in the human body.”On this extremely educational episode of Stacked, Dr. Paul has something to say about all the claims made in The Game Changers (if you haven’t watched it, you might want to go do that first). He starts out by contradicting the common understanding about the correlation between cholesterol and heart disease, and then we take a virtual trip back in time to learn valuable lessons from our ancestors. Nothing is off-limits here: We discuss bodily functions in detail, and mince no words in setting the record straight on Vitamin C and heme iron.“We don't see a lot of IGG allergy to animal foods, and we could speculate on the reasons for that, but I think it has a lot to do with plant toxins."Paul's upbringing: how an MD stumbled on the carnivore diet (3:15)Paul debunks myths and breaks down the functions of HDL and LDL cholesterol (8:00)What the Framingham study really tells us (16:30)Plot twist: High LDL cholesterol can actually extend lifespan in older adults (25:30)So what’s the ideal triglyceride/HDL ratio anyway?

(35:00)No, your teeth don’t actually indicate that our ancestors only ate plants (38:00)And you wouldn’t be better off in the wilderness with knowledge of plants than a spear (40:00)And animals are not just middlemen for plant protein (sorry, Rhonda Patrick.) (51:00)And plants are not the only source of Vitamin C for humans (how much is ideal, by the way?) (53:00)Sure, heme iron is bad—when you’re a calcium-deficient mouse (57:05)You can poop without fiber, and it doesn’t prevent cancer development. There is an interesting correlation with diverticulitis though (1:00:00)Does Paul follow eating patterns or take any supplements? (1:13:45)We can’t make this shit up: According to The Game Changers, “The more meat men eat, the more quickly they lose their manly manhood” (1:17:45)What is the effect of intense exercise on the gut?

The RPI Men's Soccer team has been having an absolutely record breaking year. On this episode I sit down with captains Austin betterly and Joe Di Miceli to discuss their season. Learn about how these 2 found RPI and eventually ended up choosing it. Austin and Joe then talk about other sports that they played growing up and when they had to eventually commit to soccer full time. We discuss the culture of club/travel soccer and how it helped them develop their skills at a higher level and helped them make the friends that they still are close with today. Later in the episode we dive into the popularity of soccer worldwide, why they love it so much, and how the video game of FIFA is helping spread the popularity in the United States. Next we have some great soccer trivia where we learn who the latest d3 player to play in the MLS was. Lastly, they talk about their season and the growing crowds at Fortress ECAV

Stacked 014 - Seeding the Microbiome with Ara KatzAra Katz probably knows more about your own gut than you do. She’s the co-founder and co-CEO of Seed, a consumer health company that aims to enhance the wellness of the human microbiome. This trailblazing entrepreneur has experienced firsthand the devastating effects of burnout, and it’s now her mission to combat misinformation and prevent sickness.“We’re nuking our guts with antibiotics, and we’re not feeding them what we need.”We jump right into what Seed does, the meaning of “microbiome,” how seeding works, and what we really need to prioritize when it comes to gut health. It’s basically a podcast version of the Magic School Bus, so hop aboard and join us as we geek out on science, debunk some popular beliefs, and answer some hot-topic questions like “where did all these food allergies come from?” “Health is a verb.

Stacked 013 - Living with Integrity & Strength with Dan JohnDan John is an icon in the world of…well, pick one: Olympic lifting, throwing, academia, Highland Games, coaching, instructional fitness writing - the list goes on. After becoming an All-American discus thrower and competing at the top levels of Olympic weightlifting, Dan started coaching the next generations of athletes. Over 40 years later, he’s still going strong.“The word ‘integrity’ comes from the word ‘integer.’ It means ‘one.’ You should be basically the same person in every situation.”Dan and I sat down during our lunch break at the RKC II to talk about mortality, building a legacy, and how your goals might be tanking your health. We discuss the differences between resume-building and eulogy-writing, evaluate the characters we’ve encountered at high school reunions, and take some shots at conventional health and fitness beliefs.“Will this make a difference? You need to have some kind of mission statement.”Dan John is a legendary strength and conditioning coach…but that’s just the beginning (1:00)The higher you go, the fresher the air…and the nicer the people (6:30)Let’s talk about life and death (not taxes though) (8:30)Olympic medals don’t make you a good person, and other life lessons (16:30)The 10,000-hour rule is actually bullshit, and there’s always someone better, hungrier, meaner than you (19:00)15-20 pushes, squats, pulls, is all you really need in a workout (24:00)You can’t have Christmas every day: how to set goals you can accomplish without sacrificing your wellbeing (25:30)What do recovery and wedding planning have in common?

Lois Laynee is a dynamic pioneer and passionate lecturer in the fields of Education, Sleep, Scar Release Healing, Cranio Facial Neuro development, and much more. Lois is the CEO of AZ Sleep Apnea Center, a speaker and educator of oxygen wellness and the creator of the Laynee Restorative Breathing Method. Lois represents the integration of East meets West, blending neurophysiology with cranial facial development, to provide the opportunity to experience less stress immediately through the power of oxygen.We all have underutilized abilities within each of us, and very few of us are operating close to our human potential. Lois teaches us how every dysfunction starts with an interruption or alteration of connections in the brain. Once these connections are activated and integrated, sleep is restored, pain and anxiety can be reduced, movement is fluid and breathing is effortless. This integration can be achieved in all stages of life to help us sleep, breathe, move, and thrive. The possibilities are truly endless. This episode will thoroughly benefit anyone looking to improve their or their children’s quality of life.

He’s a James Beard award-nominated chef and an accomplished cyclist, but what you may not know about Seamus Mullen (@seamusmullen) is that he was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis in 2007. After flatlining on the table during a hospital visit, he submitted to the tutelage of Frank Lipman, M.D., a practitioner of functional medicine. Through a combination of a diet overhaul, conventional medicine, supplementation and acupuncture, Seamus reversed his symptoms and worked his way back to health.“For every area you’re investing your energy, there’s an area you’re not.”I sit down with Seamus to talk about different approaches to fitness, his experience living with an autoimmune disease, and his definition of success.

Joe Di Stefano, CSCS, RKC – “Joe D.I.” as he is referred, is an international speaker, fitness expert, entrepreneur and coach. Joe is the Director of Sport at Spartan Race, the world’s leading obstacle racing organization. He is also the Founder of RUNGA, an off-the-grid experience designed to educate people on health and fitness, and connect them with their full potential. Joe has coached athletes from mainstream competitive sports for 15 years and for Obstacle Course Racing exclusively for the last seven. He has instructed more than 100 seminars in over 10 different countries within topics such as OCR, kettlebells, breathing and mobility. Joe’s work has been featured in Men’s Health, Men’s Journal, Outside and SELF Magazine. Our episode today is all about quality breathing and its effects on overall health. We can go three weeks without food, but we can only go three minutes without breath, yet breathing is something that many people don’t think twice about. Joe also discusses why international travel and running are bad for you, and how intent and belief are the key to health. Joe leaves listeners with advice on focusing on breathing as a beginner. “The place to start is controlling your breath and respecting the power that it has.

On today's episode we got on the phone with Joe Di from Spartan to get some clarity on the new Spartan Race rules. Those rules, that were posted earlier this week, concern, among other things, race attire and podium attire. He also lets us know how the first Spartan of the year went, and gives us a preview of the upcoming Greek Peak Winter Spartan. We also had a chance to catch up with the most decorated female athlete in the sport, Amelia Boone, to get her to further explain her thoughts on the rules and the current state of OCR.

Today, we are joined by the Director of Sport Initiatives at Spartan Race, Joe DiStefano, aka "Joe DI." If you haven't heard of Spartan, they're a company that has started a movement all across the world, hosting events, training seminars, and all-out, extreme obstacle races that push people to their absolute limits. Spartan is a sport, community, a philosophy, a training and nutrition program – with daily advice, a podcast, a series of books, an activity for kids, workout gear, a media channel, an NBC Sports series, a digital magazine, and a timed obstacle race. I don't know about you guys, but sometimes, my biggest challenges are overcoming not physical limitations, but mental ones. Often times, when the going gets really tough, I give up on myself, bargain, compromise, or convince myself that I can do it. That's why, in this episode, we talk with one of Spartan's best and brightest trainers on the topic of mental tenacity. As someone who has helped create some of the world's toughest sporting events, and an acclaimed personal trainer, our guest today has a lot to say on the subject, and I'm sure you'll take away not only a huge dose of inspiration, but also some actionable principles you can use to sharpen your focus and increase your mental tenacity in all of life's challenges.
