Welcome to class! In this episode, we dive into the B.rad Nutrition Guide—a simple, practical, and totally free resource you can download at bradkearns.com. Print it out in full color, stick it on your fridge, and use this tiered ranking system to navigate the world’s most nutritious foods with ease. It’s really this simple: ditch the processed junk and aim for maximum dietary nutrient density. At the very top? Meat and fruit. That’s the next big dietary trend—global All-Stars like red meat and fresh, locally grown fruit that taste great, provide essential nutrients, and deliver healthy carbs and fiber. This show will walk you through the guide step-by-step, highlighting nutrient-dense favorites like pasture-raised eggs, wild-caught oily fish (think sardines, mackerel, anchovies, salmon, and herring), shellfish, animal organs, high-fat dairy, and the best plant foods like avocado, dark chocolate, fermented foods, raw honey, and more. I get into the details on choosing the highest quality oils, the importance of saturated fats for cooking, and why industrial seed oils are a major no-go. We also hit on smart supplementation with whey protein and creatine, the importance of mineral water, and which beverages get the green light. It’s a comprehensive, practical, and refreshingly simple approach to eating that you can start today. Download free B.rad nutrition guide here: https://bradkearns.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/NEW-B-Rad-Nutrition-Guide_r2.pdf TIMESTAMPS: Brad reviews his B.rad Nutrition Chart. Step one is to get rid of the processed food and strive for maximum dietary nutrient density food. Meat and fruit are at the top of the list. [00:51] Oily cold-water fish are accessible and affordable. Shellfish have great nutritional value. [02:45] If you want dairy in your diet, choose organic high-fat, preferably raw dairy. If you are looking to eat chicken, turkey and pork, look for sustainability and humane care of the animals. [04:07] Colorful, nutritious, easy-to-digest plant foods include avocado. It is actually a fruit. Anything with a seed is a fruit. When it comes to dark chocolate, look for bean to bar. [05:50] Fermented foods have many benefits. Navigate carefully with vegetables. [07:06] Honey is a great thing to add to your daily routine. Nut butters are very helpful. [08:33] There are many differences when we look at the various oils. Saturated fats are best to cook with. [09:46] We all need protein. Not just athletes. [12:50] As far as beverages go, mineral water and kombucha are at the top of Brad's list.

This week's show brought to you by: Ketone-IQ You may have read a lot the last few years about the benefits of ketones for endurance performance, such as mitochondrial efficiency and glycogen sparing. Your body uses ketones for energy typically during fasting, long periods of exercise, or when you don't have as many carbohydrates. The problem is that you typically need to severely reduce your carbohydrate intake in order to take advantage of them, which is difficult to sustain, even for the most dedicated runner. But, thanks to Ketone-IQ you quickly deliver ketones to your bloodstream, putting you into ketosis within minutes without the need to fast, restrict calories or carbs, or exercise away your glycogen stores. And the academic literature on the effectiveness of ketones for running performance is overwhelming. For example, a 2021 study demonstrated that the ingestion of ketones improved mitochondrial efficiency by 7% and 2019 study concluded that using ketones significantly enhanced endurance performance while minimizing overtraining. If you want to see more of the research, head to ketone.com/RTTT Plus, for a limited time you can save 30% off your first subscription order & receive a free six pack of Ketone-IQ by going ketone.com/RTTT.

Welcome to another show about the big toe (hopefully you heard the first presentation, What’s the Big Deal About the Big Toe?) because in this episode, we’re taking it further. You will learn why your big toe is crucial for efficient movement, and how its functionality influences everything from your running stride to balance. I reveal how wearing tight, restrictive shoes can hinder your big toe’s ability to function properly, leading to muscle imbalances, poor glute activation, and even overuse injuries. You will hear about the myths surrounding “over-pronation” and why it’s not the enemy—and why poor big toe function is. I also dive into the science behind conditions like “runner’s hallux” and the role of the big toe in controlling pronation, explain why two-thirds of endurance runners have a dysfunctional big toe, and why barefoot-inspired footwear like Peluvas may be the best path to restoring foot health and strength. This is a great episode to listen to if you want to learn how to improve your big toe health and take your movement and fitness to the next level! TIMESTAMPS: Big toe functionality helps influence and optimize pronation. [00:58] Pronation is the natural inward and downward rotation of the foot and the flattening of the arch during the walking or running stride. [02:02] There has never been any research to reveal that the most high-tech modern running shoes or any running shoe ever invented can actually control pronation. [05:38] How can we get better at pronation? [08:03] Walk around barefoot as much as you can. [12:27] LINKS: Brad Kearns.com B.rad Whey Protein Superfuel - The Best Protein on The Planet!

This week's show brought to you by: MAS NAD+ for Runners Did you know that by Age 40, your NAD+ levels can be half of what they were at 20? And they only go downhill from there. This is important because lower NAD+ levels have been shown in research to impact some of the hallmarks of aging such as reduced muscle strength, lower mitochondrial performance and overall energy. But, just because NAD+ levels decline with age doesn't mean you have to accept it. NAD+ from MAS Edge is a groundbreaking formula that can increase your NAD+ levels by 67%. Their unique formula enhances absorption by 71% and increases uptake and utilization in the body by 167% compared to generic NAD+ supplements. This means you can slow muscle loss, improve recovery, increase your energy levels, and fight aging at the cellular level. You can check out the results yourself at masedge.com/nad. Plus, runnersconnect fans will automatically save 20% on any purchase. If you're ready to fight all the typical signs of aging and feel a decade younger, this is no-brainer.
In this episode, you will learn about the critical role the big toe plays in human movement and athletic performance. I reveal the truth about how shoes can weaken and restrict your big toe, leading to imbalances and a higher risk of injury, especially as we age. You'll hear how the big toe impacts everything from balance to the activation of your glutes, which are essential for powerful movement. I’ll also guide you through a simple Toe Test to assess your big toe’s functionality and share a fix to strengthen it—just a few minutes a day can drastically improve your athleticism and help prevent pain. Tune in to discover how taking care of your big toe can change the way you move and live! TIMESTAMPS: The big toe is one of the most critical functionalities of the homo sapiens species. [00:59] In order to function properly, the big toe must be able to move dynamically through multiple planes of motion independently from other toes. [01:46] With poor balance, people fall, and that is a leading cause of death of the elderly [05:03] The big toe is the initiator of the activation of the glutes. [09:47] Can you move your big toe separately from your other toes? [12:53] LINKS: Brad Kearns.com BradNutrition.com B.rad Whey Protein Superfuel - The Best Protein on The Planet!

In this fascinating episode of Boundless Life, you’ll get to explore some of today’s most misunderstood and debated health topics—from gluten myths and kitchen toxins to advanced regenerative treatments and rapid muscle growth strategies. It’s an eye-opening mix of science, personal experimentation, and practical tools you can start using right away to upgrade your health. We kick things off with a fresh look at gluten. I'll reveal why most gut issues blamed on gluten are often caused by other culprits—like glyphosate, food additives, or FODMAPs—and why going gluten-free might not be the magic bullet it’s made out to be. You’ll also hear why extreme elimination diets can backfire, and how diverse, whole-food nutrition is often the smarter path. From there, I dive into your kitchen—the most overlooked source of hidden toxins in your daily life. You’ll discover how common cookware and appliances may be exposing you to microplastics, forever chemicals, and heavy metals—and how to clean up your kitchen without stress or spending a fortune. I share my go-to brands, what to avoid, and simple swaps that make a real difference in optimizing your long-term health. I'll also break down the five most effective compound lifts for fast muscle gain, how to structure sets and rest periods, and how to fuel your body with nutrient-dense, muscle-supporting foods. You’ll get a clear protocol for protein timing, supplement support, and even how to incorporate raw dairy and organ meats for next-level results—without falling for hype or gimmicks.

It’s time for a rebroadcast of a wonderful interview with my old friend, Dr. Casey Means, where she talked about the launch of her book, Good Energy. It has been a year since we talked on the eve of her book launch, which was just about to go number one and become a New York Times bestseller, and in other news, Dr. Casey has just been appointed to become the Surgeon General of the United States of America. Amazing news, a bit controversial these days since everything in politics is controversial, but long time listeners know that I steer completely clear of politics on this show, however I did want to give a plug for Dr. Casey and encourage you to listen to this interview if you didn't hear it the first time around, as she now rises to the highest position in America for doctors. In this episode, you will learn all about Dr. Casey Means’ book Good Energy: The Surprising Connection Between Metabolism and Limitless Health, which she wrote with her brother, Calley Means, and hear her talk about the broken medical industrial complex—a subject that is of deep significance for her since (as she talked about in her first appearance on the show) she used to be a dutiful doctor, a highly trained throat surgeon who was just trying to do her best, until she realized how dysfunctional the whole system was. She had a realization: no one was really getting better. They were, however, coming in for more surgery, and this sparked her decision to pursue a career in the alternative health world instead, an issue that only became more important and personal to her after she experienced the deep pain and frustration of watching her mother die of a preventable disease. This is a great episode to listen to if you want to learn about all the nuances of our profit-driven medical system, the science and details of how mitochondrial function essentially represents the essence of our health, why mitochondrial dysfunction represents the whole cause of all disease, the scary statistic about Americans and metabolic syndrome risk factors that shocked me, and more! Casey Means, MD, Surgeon General of the United States of America, is a Stanford-trained physician, the Chief Medical Officer and Co-founder of metabolic health company Levels, and Associate Editor of the International Journal of Disease Reversal and Prevention. Her mission is to maximize human potential and reverse the epidemic of preventable chronic disease by empowering individuals with tech-enabled tools that can inform smart, personalized, and sustainable dietary and lifestyle choices. Check out her website and visit CaseyMeans.com/goodenergy to read her best-selling book, Good Energy. TIMESTAMPS: Sixty-eight percent of Americans are classified as metabolically unhealthy. [03:08] It's a totally unstainable path that we are on as a country. [09:04] After becoming a head and neck surgeon, Dr. Means realized that she was not improving people's health. She wanted to focus on prevention. [12:00] Cancer is a metabolic dysfunction. We are focusing on the wrong problem. [14:41] The health care industry is fast growing and it makes more money when you are sick than when you are well. [20:02] Everything in moderation is a very bad way to look at diet. [29:48] There is such a thing as bad food. [35:19] You need to understand your own body and read the signals your body sends to you. [36:23] We have normalized not feeling well, that we don't notice it. [41:55] When we eat processed foods, they are not benign. It's more than just calories. [46:53] The ingredients in the processed foods trigger your desire to overeat. The bigger the glucose spike, the bigger the crash [53:54] High fructose corn syrup is in so many foods and is very problematic. [58:39] There are five foods that you want to include to support your mitochondrial function. [01:01:36] In a few months, if you follow those suggestions, your markers on your blood tests will show a huge difference if you were pre-diabetic. [01:09:24] Why isn't the medical system focused more on prevention? [01:15:03] LINKS: Brad Kearns.com BradNutrition.com B.rad Whey Protein Superfuel - The Best Protein on The Planet!

In this show, I share more thoughts on my new, recent longevity mantra: perform, recover, perform, recover. These thoughts were inspired by an interaction I had with my friend Michael Kummer—host of The Primal Shift podcast—who recently wrote a newsletter article about the longevity practices of the increasingly prominent biohacker Bryan Johnson. While I appreciate a lot of things that Bryan does in service to the health community by trying all these cutting-edge strategies and then reporting back on his results, I do have some thoughts on the tendency many people have these days to drift a little too far towards high-tech anti-aging methods—particularly when it comes to taking a flawed approach to a biohacking strategy. Just look at Bryan Johnon’s decision to eat fewer calories based on the assumption that calorie restriction does indeed help with healthy aging….When it comes to biohacking, are some extreme methods too extreme? And could we be making some huge mistakes in the process? Find out in this episode! TIMESTAMPS: Calorie restriction studies have mostly been done on animals. How do they apply to humans? [00:45] Many people are equating fasting, ketogenic diet and other, strategies and interventions with longevity. However, these are things that that promote a stress response. [05:41] Ditch the nutrient deficient processed foods. [07:57] Brad takes a look at Brian Johnson's longevity goal. [10:38] A glucose spike is not inherently a bad thiing. Is there such thing as having insulin that's too low? [13:56] Brad tries to limit stress in his life in many ways. He has found that shortening his time in the cold plunge is more beneficial. [16:55] Some people get so obsessed with their training, they get into orthorexia which is an unnatural and unhealthy fixation on doing things correctly. [18:55] Brad discusses his new dietary patterns. [24:38] Should you feel sore after a good workout? [27:40] Eat more and move more is a longevity strategy. [29:59] Perform, Recover, Perform, Recover is Brad's mantra. [32:40] LINKS: Brad Kearns.com Brad Nutrition.com B.rad Whey Protein Superfuel- The Best Protein on the Planet!

I'm pleased to welcome Henry Abbott, the author of a new book called Ballistic: The New Science of Injury Free Athletic Performance! What an interesting conversation we had, and we went on a wide ranging journey through several topics of interest in modern big time sports. Henry has a longtime sports background–he is an award-winning journalist who led ESPN’s 60 person NBA digital and print team. So he is a longtime NBA guy behind the scenes, and in this episode, he tells us what it's like out there, touching on concerns like this crazy long 82 game season where we expect these powerful, explosive athletes to perform night after night—this kind of turns the sport into a severe long endurance grind where you can pretty much predict the athletes are going to get injured. So Henry went on a three year long quest to determine what cutting edge scientific advancements we have to measure and program athletes to train properly to prevent injury. The title Ballistic is interesting because he focuses on the importance of ballistic high impact training, which we typically shy away from, thinking that it's too traumatizing. I really appreciated this because you've probably heard me on the show talk often about my nagging minor injuries that are always a battle and a challenge as I strive to compete in masters track and field. So you're going to get some good tidbits and also learn what the top of the line athletes are doing—he references his connection to this training facility in Santa Barbara, California called P3, it's operated by an old triathlon friend of mine named Dr. Marcus Elliott, and he is doing some really interesting data collection and analysis. You will learn why Henry says that almost everyone has some sort of hip dysfunction, whether it's hip flexor weakness or a lack of mobility, and ways that you can progress to become more functional, especially in the three most important joints that control impact forces—the ankle, knee, and the hip. Enjoy this fun and wide ranging talk with Henry Abbott, and I highly recommend you read his book Ballistic, the New Science of Injury, Free Athletic Performance, which reveals a surprising takeaway: The explosive moves and ground impacts we often avoid in everyday workouts might provide the secret to an injury-free athletic life. TIMESTAMPS: The three most important joints that control impact forces are the ankle, knee and the hip. So how do we best take care of them? [03:01] The popularity of Track and Field is still struggling in comparison to other major sports. [05:00] What is it like to cover the NBA? What about the players being prone to injury? [08:09] Eighty-two games are too much for the players. Humans can't do more than five max effort workouts every two weeks before their performance declines and injuries skyrocket. [10:43] Are the players, trainers and coaches doing their best to prevent injuries? What is P3 in Santa Barbara? [12:12] In the book, Ballistic, Henry explains about the force at the moment of landing. [16:42] One of the most dangerous foot positions that a player can encounter is a toes-down landing. [20:11] We want the lower body to be loose, mobile, and flexible but we also want some areas stiff. How does it all come together? [25:01] Injuries occur when you come back down to earth, not by jumping up. It's the impact of landing. [28:17] You need to learn how to jump properly to prevent injury. [31:55] The WHO says immobility is the fourth leading cause of a global death. [35:23] Every athlete needs help with their hips. [36:17] Henry talks about dirty money and sports. There can be an adverse influence on sports. [43:09] What really makes a champion athlete is the work ethic, resilience, family-oriented, well-blanced lifestyle. [51:18] Is there any financial incentive in modern day NBA players to continue since they get so money? [56:31] Henry's book Ballistic talks about caring for your body...paying attention to it to prevent injuries, but also use your body to have fun.

Shawn is one of the world’s leading health experts as the bestselling author of Sleep Smarter and host of the #1 rated Model Health Show. The first part of the discussion is about foot functionality. Shawn mentions the emerging research on how minimalist shoes can address the cause of foot dysfunction, “nourishing and rehabilitating our feet.” Then describes the awakening he has experienced using Peluva five-toe minimalist shoes, with increased proprioception and ease of movement. Then the show gets personal, as Shawn describes how his journey to becoming a health leader took shape. Growing up as an athlete in St. Louis, MO, Shawn suffering a serious injury on the running track and discovered that he was severely malnourished and had a degenerative bone disease. With his athletic dreams compromised, he lost hope, endured further suffering that included his mental health and putting on a bunch of excess body fat, and had to start from the bottom to turn his life around. Shawn’s struggle included having to reject mainstream medical treatment and a “poor me” attitude and discover a path to health on his own. Shawn’s grandma gets a huge plug here, and you will be touched by Shawn’s emotional recount of how he turned the corner and truly saved his life. You’ll also learn that Shawn’s malnourished youth was not some bizarre bad luck, but rather the norm in modern life today. Shawn cites research published in JAMA that kids today are eating 70% ultra-processed foods; the situation worsens with low socio-economic conditions. Shawn tells us the main ways we are still screwing up our health, even with lots of great information and awareness today. He urges us to prioritize sleep and take bold steps to optimize health. It starts with controlling your use of digital technology, forming an empowering attitude where you place health #1, creating a winning evening ritual, and more. Shawn Stevenson is the host of the Model Health Show and author of the best-selling books Sleep Smarter and Eat Smarter. Check out his Instagram @shawnmodel and his YouTube channel @TheShawnModel TIMESTAMPS: The wonderful cushiony shoes you are wearing feel terrific because they dull your sensations. [07:45] When you get into the Peluvas, it is important to start slowly, making sure your feet that have been stuffed into shoes have a chance to adjust. [16:43] At 20 years old, Shawn was diagnosed with degenerative disc disease. [20:00] A 20-year study found that about 68 percent of America's children's diet consists of ultra processed foods. [21:29] Shawn could not imagine spending the rest of his life with the pain he was experiencing, so he began to research for a solution. [25:48] The most overlooked aspects of exercise is that it increases assimilation. [29:03] He began to understand how important his sleep and the proper nutrition are to his recovery. [30:40] Sleep impacts people's nutrition and general health. [36:11] Even though there is much information available for people to be informed on sleep and nutrition, we are still falling behind. [38:54] Shawn has suggested 21 tips for better sleep. One of the most important is the evening habit of being on screens. It interferes with your circadian rhythm and melatonin. [42:24] Having a cool bedroom is very important.

Mona breaks down how unresolved stress, toxic products, and hustle culture disconnect us from our own vitality, and how even small changes to your environment and routine can radically transform your health. This is not about all-or-nothing wellness—this is about reclaiming your body's wisdom, one choice at a time.Can You Really Heal Yourself By Cleaning Out Your Cabinet?Mona believes you can.

In this episode, I’m diving into some fascinating research and sharing my own opinions for a fun, insightful show about longevity and living to 100 years old. It is amazing to think there are 722,000 centenarians alive today, but only 219 people who’ve made it to 110. I think genes affect your potential to live to 110, but most of us should form the empowering belief that we can sail to 100, if we just get out of our own way. Reference my previous show, Longevity Science is Wrong—Don’t Succumb to BS Commentary and Self-Limiting Beliefs. In this episode, I explore how lifestyle factors like staying active, managing stress, and keeping a positive mindset are key to longevity. We’ll also touch on the surprising traits that many centenarians share—things like emotional awareness and optimism—and how they contribute to a longer, healthier life. So, join me as I unpack some longevity stats and challenge you to embrace the belief that living a long life is within your control. Oh, and stay tuned for a fun surprise at the end—a little freestyle rap from my 60th birthday party earlier this year! TIMESTAMPS: The United States is rate4d 35th in world ranking in longevity statistics. {00:54] For the first time in recorded history, those of us in the younger generation have a lower life expectancy than that of our parents. [02:45] Surprisingly, according to the UN there are 722,000 people in the world right now who are over the age of 100. There are more women than men in that bunch. [07:06] Does genetics play a role in life expectancy statistics? [10:21] There are three kinds of resilience that are connected to longevity: cognitive resilience, economic resilience, and personal resilience. [17:11] Loneliness is a huge factor in all age groups. [21:48] Your heart and lungs working well will help mental acuity. Dementia statistics show 50% have symptoms. Walk your way into better brain health. [28:05] Lifestyle studies have shown centenarians tend to share personality traits: a positive attitude and emotional awareness. [34:07] If you think you have genetic predisposition for something that you can prevent, then you don't have to follow that history. [39:37] To stay youthful, you gotta do things right.

Enjoy this second show with Alex, where we left the mic on after our interview emphasizing his book, The Explorer’s Gene, and started talking about Mark Sisson and my new book, Born To Walk. We planned to have a “friendly debate” about the book’s premise that running is a bad idea for most people. Alex, as a longtime runner, had a much different basic notion—that running is a rich and meaningful form of enjoying recreation, physical fitness and health. Well, there were no fireworks during our talk, but rather a nuanced discussion of the benefits of running when you do it correctly. The best takeaway from Alex is: If you are able to run and recover from running workouts, it’s great. But of course you must avoid overtraining. Enjoy our discussion and please check out Alex’s excellent column in Outside magazine online called Sweat Science. Visit alexhutchinson.net for more details. TIMESTAMPS: Alex, a long time runner and promoter of endurance running, brings his perspective to Brad as they discuss the book Born to Walk. [00:46] Alex is not as worried about the dangers of training at too high a level. [09:30] There are no magic bullets for dropping excessive weight. [14:31] Don’t be under the impression that running a marathon is the path to better health. [16:49] If you have aches and pains after running, don’t run more. It is not going to make your pain better. [18:25] A 10K would be an amazing achievement for the average generally inactive person. If they worked hard and prepared properly for six months, it'd be all a celebration in every direction. [21:02] The longevity research is pointing toward attributes like your strength training regimen.

Our diet and fueling habits are setting important examples for our kids. Are we doing it right? Joining me is coach Michele Pettinger. She's a Level 2 certified coach through the Road Runners' Club of America, a certified specialist in fitness nutrition through the ISSA, and she's the author of the new book The Young Runner's Guide to Nutrition. We discuss how young runners should be fueling and approaching nutrition (which during the teen years is a formative time period). It's critical we get the basics of sound nutrition habits right early so that we can set kids up for success. We also chat about practical strategies for families and coaches, the impact of puberty on our nutritional needs, simple ways to make optimal fueling easy, and why Michele thinks my tradition of bringing my kids to McDonald's after a hike in the mountains is just fine. As a dad, this topic is really important to me. I've been around young runners and unfortunately, disordered eating is not rare. Hopefully this conversation will help you navigate food, nutrition, and fueling in a more thoughtful way with the young people in your life. You can also download a bonus episode with Registered Dietitian Anne Mauney on fueling / diet Q&A here. Thank you Previnex! After resisting most supplements for the better part of my life, I'm cautiously changing my tune. I'm now a Masters runner and in my personal life, I'm optimizing for longevity. I want to be my healthiest self for as long as possible and I'm excited to partner with Previnex to make that happen. Previnex uses the most bioavailable, clinically tested ingredients, the optimal form and dose of each ingredient, pharmaceutical grade manufacturing, testing of raw ingredients and finished products. For every purchase you make, they also donate vitamins to kids in need. Their new Muscle Health Plus is something I'm now taking. Turning 40 – and having a thin frame – has made me realize that I need to prioritize lean muscle mass to stay healthy and age well. Muscle Health Plus has creatine, essential and branched chain amino acids, and it's designed in a way to maximize protein synthesis and the absorption of amino acids. Muscle Health Plus will help you prevent muscle damage, which is particularly important for aging runners who want to protect themselves from muscle loss and recover faster after hard workouts. As is true for all of their products, Previnex adheres to the highest of standards: their ingredients are clinically proven to do what they say they're going to do. They're now offering international shipping so if you live in the UK, Canada, Australia, or anywhere around the world, you can try Previnex as well. Previnex offers a 30-day money back guarantee. If you don't feel the benefits of their product, you get your money back no questions asked. With their focus on quality and customer satisfaction, I hope you'll try it! Use code jason15 for 15% off your first order at Previnex! Thanks to Ketone-IQ!

There's also promising research – and loads of anecdotal evidence – that ketone supplementation can help with recovery if taken post-exercise.

We all know that nutrition is essential for peak performance—but for young athletes, it's so much more than just fuel. In this episode, we're joined by expert coach and author Michele Pettinger to explore how nutrition supports adolescent athletes as they navigate growing bodies, shifting hormones, academic pressures, and evolving relationships. Michele shares insights from her book on how parents, coaches, and mentors can guide youth through healthy meal planning, hydration, and recovery. We also discuss the impact of energy drinks, body image concerns, and the early signs of nutritional issues. With practical tips and a focus on lifelong habits, this conversation is a valuable guide for anyone helping young athletes thrive—on and off the field.

Please enjoy my B.rad podcast conversation with Alex Hutchinson, the world’s leading science-sport journalist and NYT best-selling author of Endure. The occasion is the release of his long-awaited next book, titled The Explorer’s Gene, and in this much-anticipated follow-up to Endure, he refutes the myth that, in our fully mapped digital world, the age of exploration is dead. Instead, the itch to discover new things persists in all of us, expressed not just on the slopes of Everest but in the ways we work, play, and live. The Explorer’s Gene combines riveting stories of exploration with cutting-edge insights from behavioral psychology and neuroscience, making a powerful case that our lives are better—more productive, more meaningful, and more fun—when we break our habits and chart a new path. Alongside our deep dive into The Explorer’s Gene, we also enjoyed a lively and friendly debate about my latest book, Born to Walk, sparked by Alex’s unique perspective as a long-time runner and promoter of endurance. Spoiler alert: we have lots of common ground, so it’s a peaceful, enlightening discussion; my favorite take away from Alex is: “Running is fine, as long as you recover from workouts.” You will hear his thoughtful critiques and insights, helping to clarify the message of the book while reflecting on the value of endurance pursuits—like why training for the mile might be more beneficial than pushing for a marathon. Alex Hutchinson is a National Magazine Award-winning science journalist and Outside magazine’s longtime Sweat Science columnist. Before journalism, he was a postdoctoral physicist and a long-distance runner for the Canadian national team. Check out his website here. TIMESTAMPS: Modern technology has an impact on our hardwired drive to explore and be creative. Intelligence is going up and creativity is going down. [02:14] Why are we drawn to explore different horizons? [06:02] We athletes need to change our approach when our goals change. [12:41] What are the effects of aging on athletic performance? [16:24] Alex explains the inner drive that makes us push ourselves to such a degree. [26:29] This trait varies from person to person. [31:36] If you have one person choosing what to look at, and the other person being shown the same thing as the person who's making the choices, the person who's active learns more than the person who's passive, even though they're being fed the same information. [39:23] Brad and Alex talk about the process of beginning to write a book. When and how does the research come about? [44:06] How is ChatGPT influencing writing?

What if the key to a leaner body, a clearer mind, and total food freedom isn't willpower… but your gut bacteria? In this powerful episode of The Optimal Protein Podcast, I'm joined by world-renowned physician, author, and gut health pioneer Dr. Steven Gundry to dive into the bold insights from his new book, The Gut-Brain Paradox. Dr. Gundry reveals how an imbalanced microbiome doesn't just affect digestion — it can hijack your cravings, dull your focus, and even impact your mood, behavior, and metabolism. But here's the good news: these changes are reversible. And it starts with a targeted reset. We explore how gut health connects to everything from depression and addiction to Alzheimer's and disordered eating — and how a protein-optimized, keto-friendly lifestyle can help restore your gut-brain axis for long-term health, vitality, and leanness.

Spring time is here. The leaves are returning to the trees, and we are turning over new ones. Some new leaves in this episode: new Brooks foams and new track meets, plus massages (!), excursions (!), and a lot of breaking news for Save the 10,000. This episode starts with an update on Des's build to Boston and her plans for the upcoming taper. She details one of her final big workouts and talks about how she listens to her body (vs. a rigid plan) during these final weeks. She also bought not one, not two, but THREE massages which is three more than she usually does in a Boston build! Kara shares stories from her Costa Rican vacation including adventures in the rain forest and run-ins with the local wildlife. She isn't an "excursion-person" so her friends had her branching out on this trip. Did she love it?!? The jury is still out, and we may need a betting pool on whether or not she will attempt an excursion again. They then give you updates on Save the 10,000 which is on track to be fully funded thanks to support from amazing sponsors and YOU. Listen in for breaking news about the event that will indeed light up your day (including a Live Pod alert!). Finally, they preview meet one of Grand Slam Track, before the episode ends with an UPLIFTING top 5 sponsored by Lever Movement.

No runner wants to get injured. But the worst part of an injury is often the mental side of it, not the physical! Sure, you can go to the PT or self-treat your injury. That will help you physically heal. But what about your loss of identity when you can't run? What about the loss of a future goal? How will you respond to feeling like you lost your community? Perhaps more importantly, your mental outlook will affect how you treat your injury and the level of success of that treatment. We have to get this right! Joining me is mental skills coach and psychologist Carrie Jackson. She is the author of On Top of Your Game: Mental Skills to Maximize Your Athletic Performance and coauthor of Rebound: Train Your Mind to Bounce Back Stronger from Sports Injuries. She's worked with elite and pro runners around the world and her work has been featured in the New York Times, the Washington Post, Runner's World, and most other major media. You can hear even more of Carrie on her podcast, The Injured Athlete's Club. We discuss: How to practice acceptance Fear management strategies How to adjust goals Why "recovery is training" As a formerly injury-prone runner, this conversation really impacted me. I remember how each injury made me feel. And there's almost no worse feeling for a runner! It's one of the major reasons why my coaching practice and training programs all revolve around consistency and staying healthy so you can focus on your running. If you want to learn even more about how to prevent injuries, go to strengthrunning.com/prevention. Thank you LMNT! A big thanks to LMNT for their support of this episode!
