Alright my geeky horse people, this one's for you! No season would be complete without an episode with Elisse Miki of Equilibria Therapeutics. We promised to do a podcast on each of the osteopathic principles, and it may take us a minute but we're going to make it happen.  Elisse came for a visit to the farm and we just had to sit down for a conversation unpacking the osteopathic principle of autoregulation, what it means for our horses, how it shows up in every day experiences and how to interpret these experiences through an osteopathic lens. This one was recorded a few months back, when Reykur was just finding solid ground with his health, but was still wobbly so we definitely looked at how this principle relates to rehabilitation and illlness. You'll be happy to know that as of the publishing of this episode he seems to have turned a good corner and is staying more stable with more vitality. We also got into the story of Gwynna's rehabilitation and how this principle played a role, and how much a supoortive environment supports a return to homeostasis. Enjoy! As a human and equine therapist with over 15 years of experience working with clients in a therapeutic setting, Elisse Miki brings a wide variety of modalities into her practice. She began her career working as an Exercise Physiologist having completed her Bachelors in Kinesiology then went on to obtain her Registered Massage Therapy Licence. She has since gone on to complete Diplomas in Equine Therapy, Equine Craniosacral, and is currently in the process of completing her Equine Osteopathy Diploma.  Her current focus lies in research and development of current standards of practice in the equine industry. Elisse hosts clinics for horse owners and will be offering continuing education courses for existing health care professionals and equine therapists starting in January 2020.

Every sport has had its watershed moment when a new technology upends the landscape and redefines what's possible. Baseball had torpedo bats, swimming the Lazer swimsuits, road cycling the introduction of aerodynamic carbon frames and in running we are living through an era defined by what were first, and best, described as “super shoes.”  For the last decade, the shoe industry has gone into overdrive to create shoes capable of blending impossible lightness with unbelievable energy return. The holy grail sought by shoe designers in this footwear arms race: crafting the pair of shoes that would propel the first man in history to a sub 2-hour marathon performance.  As of Sunday, we are now officially living in the new sub-2 era, as not one, but two men, Kenya's Sabastian Sawe and Ethiopia's Yomif Kejelcha, tore down the two-hour marathon barrier at last weekend's London Marathon.  While every factor imaginable aligned perfectly for these two men to take the sport somewhere no one has gone before, one factor in particular has drawn the lion's share of attention: the shoes. Both Sawe and Kejelcha ran in the just-released adidas Adios Pro Evo 3, a shoe touted as the lightest, fastest super shoe ever created. This week on The Shakeout Podcast we're diving into what makes these super shoes so super, and what physiological factors they impact that have helped runners achieve times long-thought impossible. To make sense of it all is Olympian and Mayo Clinic exercise physiologist Dr. Shalaya Kipp, a leading thinker in the science of shoe innovation. As one of the first researchers to quantify the running economy-improving benefits of super shoes, Shalaya reveals to us what specific factors are at play in these record-breaking shoes, how our bodies respond to these factors over the marathon distance and why runners of lesser ability might actually benefit the most from this new era of shoe tech.  Subscribe to The Shakeout Podcast feed on Apple, Spotify, YouTube or wherever you find your podcasts.

What if one subtle collapse in your lower body is quietly driving most of your pain, stiffness, and "mystery" injuries? In this episode of The MOVEMENT Movement, Steven Sashen speaks with Dr. Mike Wasilisin, Founder and CEO of MoveU, who breaks down why most pain and injuries trace back to a few predictable misalignment patterns. After running a sports injury clinic and later selling it to build MoveU, he now teaches movement and alignment methods for everyday people and also teaches in chiropractic and PT education settings. In this episode, Mike explains valgus collapse, hip and spinal compensation, scapular position, and why minimalist footwear and better body awareness can help you move with greater durability and less inflammation. Key Takeaways: → Valgus collapse, where the knee caves inward, contributes to issues ranging from foot pain to knee and hip problems. → Foot position matters, and toes turned outward often reinforce poor knee tracking over time. → Misalignment shifts the load to the arch and soft tissues instead of distributing the force properly. → Hip drop from poor alignment can lead to compensations and increased back stress. → Posture determines stress distribution, with hyperextension loading joints and flattening loading discs.  Dr. Mike Wasilisin's journey in healthcare and fitness began in 2000 at a chiropractic rehab clinic while he was earning a Psychology degree from Kent State, which he completed in 2004. In 2009, he earned his doctorate in chiropractic from Palmer College, specializing in body mechanics, strength training, pain psychology, and soft-tissue therapy using TPI, ART, FMS, and SFMA. From 2009 to 2017, he built a thriving private practice in San Diego and began teaching Kinesiology at California State University while running CaliSpine, a clinic specializing in low-back pain rehabilitation. After a viral quadratus lumborum video reached 4 million views in 2015, he committed to going fully online, frustrated by the limitations of traditional healthcare. That led to the creation of MoveU in 2016, a movement that helps people take control of their bodies through structured programs free from insurance red tape. Now, with over 3 million social media followers and more than 150,000 people having gone through MoveU programs, the impact continues to grow. Featured in Men's Health, CBS, and Live with Mark & Kelly, Dr. Mike's mission is clear—helping people stop treating pain as an emergency and start recognizing it as a lifestyle issue that can be addressed through awareness, movement, and a long-term plan.

Preventing Injury, Reframing Pain, and Using Physical Therapy to Avoid Unnecessary Surgery: Dr. Tom Walters is a board-certified orthopedic physical therapist, founder of Rehab Science, and author of “Rehab Science: How to Overcome Pain and Heal From Injury,” an illustrated, body-region guide to common orthopedic problems and self-managed therapeutic exercises. Walters emphasizes using PT-style mobility and resistance training preventively to increase tissue capacity, manage load, and avoid overuse injuries, while warning against “no pain, no gain” and excessive volume or weight. He discusses “movement literacy,” hip and glute stabilizers, and how weakness can drive knee and back problems. Dr. Hoffman shares his own hip injury and recovery with targeted strengthening, illustrating that imaging findings often don't dictate function. Walters explains the biopsychosocial model of pain, graded exposure, the limits of RICE and ultrasound, and roles for manual therapy, taping, TENS, shockwave, acupuncture/dry needling, and PRP. They advocate prehab/rehab around surgery and note PT training and career prospects.

In a 12-week clinical trial at The Ohio State University, every woman with PCOS who completed the intervention experienced a change in her menstrual status. One participant, who had never had a period in her life, began menstruating within a week. Another saw spotting after five years of amenorrhea while taking only a ketone supplement without adopting a ketogenic diet. These are among the earliest controlled findings linking ketogenic interventions directly to reproductive hormone restoration.Dr. Madison Kackley is an Assistant Professor of Kinesiology at The Ohio State University and Director of the SHE Is Laboratory. Her work focuses on how hormonal fluctuations shape metabolic flexibility and resilience in women across the lifespan.In this episode, she explains why a single fasting glucose or insulin measurement is misleading without knowing where a woman is in her cycle, how the luteal phase creates a state of increased energy expenditure and insulin resistance that conventional carb-loading advice may worsen, and why perimenopausal women who jump into intermittent fasting and high-intensity exercise without prior fat adaptation can end up in a high-cortisol catabolic spiral. She also introduces the Renew study, which examines ketone supplementation alongside group exercise for postpartum depression, a condition she frames as an energy-availability problem rather than a purely psychological one.Questions Answered in This Episode:What will we look back on in ten years and realize we got fundamentally wrong about women's health?Why are women more susceptible to dementia than men, and what does it have to do with reproductive energy?Why might long-term hormonal birth control contribute to infertility, metabolic syndrome, and type 2 diabetes?Why can women in perimenopause feel exhausted and still not be able to sleep?Should weaning be understood as its own distinct hormonal event, separate from postpartum?For clinicians, researchers, and women navigating these transitions, this conversation previews the evidence-based framework that female metabolic health has been waiting for.Special thanks to the sponsors of this episode:✅ Toups and Co – Get 15% off your first order with code METABOLIC here.✅ iRestore – Get a huge discount on the Elite and the Illumina bundle with the code LINK here.✅ MudWtr – Get up to 43% off + free shipping and a free rechargeable frother with code METABOLICLINK here.In every episode of The Metabolic Link, we'll uncover the very latest research on metabolic health and therapy.

In this episode, I sit down with Brady Hutchins for a conversation about pain, purpose, identity, and the search for what is true. Brady shares the story that changed his life at sixteen, when a devastating accident forced him to grow up far too soon and carry responsibilities no young man should have had to bear. Our conversation explores the heart of his book, which blends memoir with spiritual insight and personal growth. We talk about the difference between chasing approval and living from a deeper sense of truth, what it means to find your True North, and how stillness, solitude, and honest self-examination can shape stronger leadership. Brady also reflects on masculinity, healing, faith, and the inner work required to stop performing for the world and start living in alignment with who you really are. This episode is for anyone who has been asking bigger questions about success, meaning, and purpose, and for those ready to consider that what they have been searching for may have been within them all along. ------------- Brady Hutchins is a coach, writer, and founder of Sentinel, a community for men integrating strength with spirit. What started as fitness coaching evolved into guiding men back to themselves, integrating body, mind, and spirit into one grounded practice.

BUFFALO, NY — April 9, 2026 — A new #research paper was #published in Volume 18 of Aging-US on March 27, 2026, titled “ATF5 is required for the maintenance of mitochondrial homeostasis and skeletal muscle health during aging.” Led by first author Victoria C. Sanfrancesco and corresponding author David A. Hood, both from the Muscle Health Research Centre, School of Kinesiology and Health Science, York University, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, the study investigated the role of activating transcription factor 5 (ATF5) in regulating mitochondrial quality control and skeletal muscle function during aging. Using young and aged mouse models with and without ATF5 expression, the researchers examined how this transcription factor contributes to mitochondrial homeostasis, protein turnover, and stress response pathways. The analysis focused on key mechanisms such as the integrated stress response (ISR) and mitochondrial unfolded protein response (UPRmt), which are essential for maintaining mitochondrial integrity. The authors found that ATF5 plays a critical role in coordinating mitochondrial quality control and adaptive stress signaling in skeletal muscle. Notably, the absence of ATF5 prevented the typical age-related decline in muscle mass but resulted in increased muscle fatigability and elevated mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. Additionally, the loss of ATF5 disrupted normal stress-response signaling and altered protein degradation pathways, highlighting its importance in maintaining muscle function with age. “Collectively, these results suggest that ATF5 functions to maintain mitochondrial quality control and muscle endurance at the expense of muscle mass, and its absence attenuates the normal compensatory stress response to contractile activity with age.” The authors conclude that while ATF5 contributes to preserving mitochondrial function and endurance capacity, its role in regulating muscle mass and stress adaptation is complex. Further studies are needed to clarify how modulation of ATF5 and related pathways could be leveraged to improve muscle health and mitigate age-related decline in mitochondrial function and physical performance.

And like, women over 50, because your brain is rewiring so it's like, it never it actually like, where, yes, people's brains stopped developing in their early 20s. The actual reality for female brains is because of perimenopause, our brain has to rewire itself because of how we operate. We don't have the same hormones that we used to. Lesley Logan 0:22  Welcome to the Be It Till You See It podcast where we talk about taking messy action, knowing that perfect is boring. I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach. I've trained thousands of people around the world and the number one thing I see stopping people from achieving anything is self-doubt. My friends, action brings clarity and it's the antidote to fear. Each week, my guest will bring bold, executable, intrinsic and targeted steps that you can use to put yourself first and Be It Till You See It. It's a practice, not a perfect. Let's get started. Lesley Logan 1:01  Welcome back to the Be It Till You See It interview recap where my co-host in life, Brad, and I are going to dig into the grounded convo I had with Bria Gadd in our last episode. If you missed that one, you fucked up and or you're brand new. Brad Crowell 1:17  No, or you're not grounded. That's all. You're floating. Lesley Logan 1:19  You're floating. If it sounds like I'm like, on the brink of a sneeze, I am this. My sinuses are kicking. This allergy season is kicking my ass. I'm just gonna say it. And we can't prolong this any longer. We tried. We're here. And if you're looking at this on the internet, I look like I got punched in the face. I understand. So we're going with it. And that's just how it's going to be. Today is April 2nd and it's Autism Acceptance Day. It's really important that you take a look at the different things going on in autism world, because there are some groups who are problematic, and they're autism awareness, and then there's this one, which is autism acceptance day. So I checked in with some of our amazing people in our lives who have children are autistic and they're excited that we're talking about this day. So Autism Acceptance Day, also known as World Autism Day, is observed annually, adopted by the United Nations in 2007. The purpose of this day is to raise awareness and promote acceptance of people with autism spectrum disorder. It also presents an opportunity to tear down misconceptions and false notions about the disability. So, about disability, excuse me. Brad Crowell 2:22  Yeah. So I decided to just do a little homework, because we hear about, like, being on the spectrum, you know, and I put that in air quotes, even though I shouldn't have, because it's actually it is spectrum. So, so I did that wrong. But what is being.Lesley Logan 2:36  Joey, you're like, Joey, thank you.Brad Crowell 2:39  Thank you with my air quotes, thank you. Lesley Logan 2:42  You're amazing. Brad Crowell 2:43  Okay, so on the spectrum refers to being diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder, which is a neurodevelopmental condition affecting communication, social interaction and behavior. It means a person experiences the world differently with a unique, wide range of strengths and challenges, rather than a single linear progression of severity. So it can present itself in many different ways. Lesley Logan 3:10  Oh, just like ADHD presents in different ways. Brad Crowell 3:13  I'm sure, but I think that, like, the most obvious is, like, we've all, you know, if you haven't seen the movie Rain Man, you know, that's one we're seeing. But effectively, that's one way we see it. We also see like that autism can be, like, completely socially debilitating, you know, or.Lesley Logan 3:27  You could be like our neighbor across the street, who. Brad Crowell 3:29  100% functional, has family, definitely autistic. Lesley Logan 3:34  Oh, yeah. He, he holds on to zero emotions. And if they, if he and his wife are listening, hi, wow, it was me. I'm like, have you been married 20 years? If you hold on to no emotions, I understand, but I, I think that what's really important to me for bringing this up is one, we're, because we have more research and more information, it's not that there's more autistic people, it's just that when you test for things, you actually can get more like people get the labels that they need, and because we have information on how to test sooner, this means that people can get the help that they need so that they can have a life that they want to live. Whatever that help is, help can be different for each person, and it's very interesting, because Brad and I are diagnosed with ADHD, and people are thinking, if you're on the internet, it can feel like a trend for people over 40 people died of ADHD. But actually, as a child, growing up, Brad would present it as ADHD. They should diagnose him as it. But girls present differently, but they still have it. So it's not like I got ADHD. I have always had it. I have all the symptoms and signs that women would present. But that's not what was happening in the 90s. And so I just want to say, like, it's, I think it's really important, because there's an asshole in the government who's making up shit about autism and autistic people, and he can fuck himself, because it's actually not helpful, and it's not helpful that people who are autistic, and actually, like, when you diverse, when you create myths around any thing, whether it is the flu or Covid or some sort of diagnosis, it actually causes harm to the people who have it, are it, is it, and it actually means that, like, they don't get the help that they need. And then people get scared about things that are not, should not be fearful.Brad Crowell 5:21  Well, also, you mentioned, you know, ADHD. ADHD and autism are linked like they're, they're definitely, there's definitely an overlap.Lesley Logan 5:30  Oh, well, I'm pretty sure I'm still diagnosed with ADHD.Brad Crowell 5:34  Well, yeah, that's AUDHD, AUDHD, instead of just ADHD.Lesley Logan 5:38  If you look up AUDHD, I have, like, check, check, check, check, and it's like, how, now I understand, you guys, now I understand why I didn't feel like I belonged. I'm just gonna tell you right now, like, I can now understand why I felt like a person who just, like, didn't fit in, just trying to, like, watch what people are doing, so then I could be like, those people. Like that is just talk about why I'm an ambivert, you know. But I think I just want to say like, because we've had more information now it shouldn't be a scary thing to have someone in your life who is autistic. It shouldn't be like, Oh, I'm so bummed out. It's actually like, isn't it great that we can have information so that we can help people in the way they need to be helped, whether you're neurotypical or neurodivergent, we all have different needs, and then you can advocate for yourself. Our neighbor, he only got diagnosed as autistic recently because he's like, I just want to know about myself more. And I'm like, well, it allows you to advocate for yourself more. Brad Crowell 6:03  He's in his 40s. Lesley Logan 6:08  Yeah, but it just allows you to, his his daughter's autistic, and she presents very much differently. And it just allows you to be like, hey, when people like, Oh, you're really rude there, it's like, okay, I'm not trying to be rude. This is like, so I just think it really helps people. It's like, that's like, taking any kind of personality test. It just lets you know more about yourself. So I just want to say that, because so I just want to say that, because I got furious. They're talking about not taking fucking Tylenol or something like that, and it's like, please, pregnant mommas, you don't want a fever when you're pregnant, and that's one of the safest things you can take and so it just I, I'm not an expert on this. I have an email of an expert and advocate for autism, and so I'm hoping to get them on the podcast, because I'd like to make sure I'm talking sure I'm talking about this in the correct way, and hopefully I didn't say any words incorrectly. It was without intention, if that happened, because I do think that like there's just a weird thing going on that makes me feel like people are are being treated in a way that's not acceptable.Brad Crowell 7:17  Well there's just one more way to (inaudible) people, ignorance. Lesley Logan 7:18  Yes and just creates fear. Anyways, we love you. Brad Crowell 7:22  Well, moving on. Here's what we got coming up, because today is April 2nd. We are about to head over to London, and we're going to be at the POT in London. Lesley is going to be teaching. I'm going to be hanging out at the booth. So come say hi if you are. Lesley Logan 7:40  They're celebrating 50 years of Balanced Body, and there's going to be a big party. So if there's any tickets left, you should get them. I know that they had a few tickets left for Sunday. So come, come, come, come.Brad Crowell 7:43  Yeah, come join us. It's, I think, this upcoming weekend, when you're finally listening to this, or no, it's like, in 10 days or something. Lesley Logan 7:50  It's not this Sunday, it's the next one so, xxll.co/pot and then we're gonna come home and we're gonna do spring training.Brad Crowell 7:58  Spring training, OPC, spring training. So come join us. It's going to be a lot of fun this year, we're doing.Lesley Logan 8:05  It's just like getting your butt upside down, like, it's all the overhead stuff. And I've seen all the different teachers classes. And so if you. Brad Crowell 8:11  I was gonna say inversions. Lesley Logan 8:13  Inversions, like, inversions, yes, it's, I guess you don't say that. Brad Crowell 8:16  You're not doing, like, handstands and stuff, but. Lesley Logan 8:18  No, but we're, we're gonna talk about, we're gonna each teacher is going on with that theme. And so we have some we have like, one class which is like, no inversions. We have one like, yes, no, maybe so. So no matter where you are in your practice, there is going to be information for you. And basically, our goal is to take away the fear that many people have of getting hurt or hurting their necks, and actually understanding what connections you need to do any of the upside down exercises. Do you want to go to opc.me/events to be on the wait list, you don't miss out on the early bird. OPC members. It is a free for you. Watch your inbox so you can see how to sign up, because you'll get it free, but we're going to let you sign up for it. We're not going to force it down your throat. And then, just actually a quick note here, five in my mentorship program for comprehensively trained teachers as of the time of recording this, there's five spots left as the time you're hearing this. I have no idea recording early because we're going to be in Europe, but there's five spots left. So if you are a comprehensively trained teacher who is feeling frustrated, overwhelmed, confused, lacking confidence, or just not able to have your own personal practice with Pilates and on behalf of some and you're unsure this program is for you, you're gonna go to lesleylogan.co/elevate lesleylogan.co/elevate.Brad Crowell 9:28  I also just wanted to say big shout out to our team for helping us prepare for the Cambodia offer that happened in January. If you were thinking about coming to Cambodia, it is sold out. So we love you. We would love to have you come join us. We have already listed the dates for 2027 so get yourself on the waitlist there, so that you are the first to know when things are happening. We're more open in the doors for 2027. Dates are on the website right now. And you can kind of pin that into your calendar so you don't accidentally schedule something else. We would love to have you come join us, but I'm really proud of our team for all the effort that they did, you know, making sure everything went smoothly. And we're really fired up for this year's trip. It's going to be fantastic. Great job, team. Brad Crowell 10:17  All right, before we get going, we had a question from Sofie Peere. She said, Hey, I have a question, for the Sunday live on YouTube. My hamstrings are very short and stiff, and I do not have a lot of strength in them. I would love to stretch and strengthen them more. But to help my practice, I know I can do the ballet stretches on the ladder barrel. But what would you recommend? What kind of other exercises would you recommend that I could work on for this. Lesley Logan 10:42  Yeah. So we actually did a whole YouTube, YouTube video about flexibility and stretching. And the truth is, is that just like hanging out over your leg and stretching out like you remember when you were in PE just put your leg up on a bench, and you're just like leaning over, that's more of a passive stretching. And yes, you do feel more flexible after that. But as far as creating flexibility that lasts a long time, you want more of an active, dynamic stretch or active static. And so what you want to do is think about your single straight leg stretch on the mat. I want you pushing your leg into your arms. Most people are just pulling on their leg, versus, like, actually pushing the leg into their hands. And that's gonna be a great one on the mat. Also how you're doing your roll up and your spine stretch forward. You want to dig your heels down to activate those muscles on the back of your leg, and then round forward over them. Most people are actually just stretching their back, and they're not really stretching their hamstrings. The other thing I would say on the Reformer is your tree, same thing you're pulling on that leg with your arms, that you should be pushing that leg into your hands. It's gonna be super helpful. And then when you're looking at your elephant, are you really actually reaching your heels down? Are you just pushing your knees back so without seeing you? Sophie, some people have some hypermobility in the joints and tightness in the muscles, and so you just be making sure. Are you straighten your leg from, you know, like your leg or are you actually just pushing your knee back? But anytime you're actually stretching your hamstrings. If you activate them and stretch them, it's going to create the flexibility you're looking at, you're looking for, and it just is going to take a lot longer than you think. Brad Crowell 12:14  Takes time. It takes time, but great question. Keep those questions coming. If you have a question for the pod, text us at 310-905-5534, or submit it to beitpod.com/questions where you can also leave a win. So questions or a win, go to beitpod.com/questions. Stick around. We'll be right back. We're going to start talking about Bria Gadd. Brad Crowell 12:32  Okay, let's talk about Bria Gadd. Bria is a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition practitioner, often known as the period whisperer, and that one does go in air quotes, and her work centers on female hormonal health during midlife and perimenopause. She helps women make sense of hormonal changes so they can regain energy, feel clear in their bodies, and stop feeling like everything is suddenly broken. She's also the host of The Period Whisperer Podcast, where she breaks down the complex hormonal topics in a way that's practical, grounded and actually usable. So what would you what like do you remember this conversation intimately and like all the things I was listening to, it going, what am I about to listen to? Okay.Lesley Logan 13:11  Yeah, I know. Well, I'm just gonna make, keep bringing perimenopause experts on here so that you can understand why the hell you should not make noise sometimes, but you can make noise other times. Brad Crowell 13:21  Make noise? Lesley Logan 13:21  Yeah, like, sometimes you make tons of noise at night, and I hear nothing. Brad Crowell 13:30  At night. Lesley Logan 13:33  Yes. And then sometimes you make a little bit of noise, and I come marching down the hall. Brad Crowell 13:41  Let me type in my computer. What are we talking about here? Lesley Logan 13:41  Well, we're talking about perimenopause. Okay, so Bria is she is a period whisper, but she, like, really focuses on, like, kind of helping you understand the changes that are going on in your body as you get older. Because, as we talked about, perimenopause is like reverse puberty. And I think that's a really interesting way of thinking about it. Brad Crowell 13:41  Great way to think about it. Lesley Logan 13:48  Yeah. And also, by the way, ladies, there's like, so much information that, like, after 50, our brain is, like, even better than it ever was and like, women over 50, because your brain is rewiring so it's like, it never it actually like, where, yes, people's brains stopped developing in their early 20s. The actual reality for female brains is because of perimenopause, our brain has to rewire itself because of how we operate, we don't have the same hormones that we used to and so so just in case you didn't know, perimenopause is like the gradual retirement of the ovaries, which places a significant additional workload on the body's other systems, and it's a major biological transition that demands more energy without providing more in return, which means you need to have, even to have a lot extra energy than you used to have, and then you get, you get shit in return.Brad Crowell 14:31  Oh, crazy. Okay, a gradual retiring of the ovaries. Yeah, I've never heard it described that way, and it makes a lot of sense.Lesley Logan 14:37  I really like that well, because you just so, you know, I mean, we've had other Peri menopause experts on the show, but you can be in perimenopause for average of 10 years. Brad, because it could take a long time.Brad Crowell 14:47  Well, sure. So, because, like, you know that what, what I've heard, more than anything else, is that there's a biological clock to have a kid. What does that actually mean? In practicality, that means something is go, is intentionally no longer going to function. So that is the gradual retiring of the ovaries.Lesley Logan 15:03  Did you know you could actually get pregnant during perimenopause, because your ovaries are still working, they're just gradually retiring. So you could do that.Brad Crowell 15:10  I mean, I guess that makes sense. I have certainly heard people getting pregnant in their 40s, you know? Even 30.Lesley Logan 15:15  So presumably, yeah, presumably after 37 you're in perimenopause. But the goal, and here's the thing, with great doctors, you can actually be in perimenopause, you can actually keep your period for a long time. There are women in their 60s who still get it and. Brad Crowell 15:18  Is that a goal? Lesley Logan 15:20  Well, actually, there's a lot of information that the longer you have your period, the better it is for brain and heart and a lot of different stuff. Because we've had Dr Jill something on the pod, sort of the nest sloschenberg Slash, and something she talks about like, as soon like within two years after once you once you hit the one year mark without having a period, which means so technically, you're no longer in perimenopause. You're just post menopause, or menopausal when it's been 12 months since your last period. So you went 12 months with no periods, and you are done. Your ovaries don't work. You're you're cooked. And within two years of that, a lot of women see that they have the same heart issues that men have. And so yeah, I would like to keep my period as long as possible. Keeps your brain good. Get your heart good. It's a great way to get rid of like waste and plastics that are in the body. Brad Crowell 16:16  Ah. Dr. Jan Schroeder. Lesley Logan 16:19  Oh. Schroeder, I was so close. I was really close. Brad Crowell 16:22  Dr. Jan Schroeder, Episode 418, and 419 for the recap. And yes, she's a professor and past chair of the Department of Kinesiology at Long Beach State University. Good memory. Dr. Jan Schroeder.Lesley Logan 16:35  Anyways, look, here's the deal. Perimenopause feels like a burden, but it's like the gift we didn't know we needed. Because, ladies, there's actually a ton of different research of like, that they're, now that they're actually researching women, not that the US is, they killed that one. But there are other people researching it, because you want to know what, like, a billion women are going through perimenopause at the same time, and people like, oh, we can make money off of this if we just research it. So there's a lot of information out there, and I think it's important to get to know it and not be so frustrated by it, because when you know what you're going through and what your symptoms are, they're different than other people. There is help out there, you know? And I, I've been, I've been literally raising my hand for all the help. I'm like, I'll take that one. Yes, I'll do that one. Because you know what, we have this one life to live. Feel good. What did you love?Brad Crowell 17:19  Yeah, I mean, you do hopefully have one, one life to live, and I agree we should feel good. Okay, so we've heard of sleep debt, right? So I thought it was interesting that Bria was talking about health debt, right? And she explained that health debt is when the energy you supply your body no longer meets the energy demand of your body, right? So energy supply equals sleep, nutrition, joy and purpose. And I'm going to repeat that. Energy supply equals sleep, nutrition, joy and purpose, joy and purpose, right? So really intriguing to me that like, your energy supply has so much to do with like, happiness and like, focus on something that keeps us going, in addition to physical like sleep and the and the food that we're eating, the nutrition, right? So she said that women often run a deficit for years before the symptoms actually show up, and when they do show up, probably like we're trying to put a band aid on something that is like years in coming. But perimenopause actually makes that health debt impossible to ignore, because it exacerbates everything, right?Lesley Logan 18:26  I couldn't agree more. I mean, like, I think the reason why I didn't think I had ADHD is because I had all these different things that I was doing to, like, live in the world, and then because of perimenopause, it's like, it exacerbated the issue, which is like, as an ADHD person, I don't have a stimulant, as perimenopause, my estrogen levels are going lower, which means I'm now doubly low. And so just like shows like, oh, this is why you can't focus. Hello. You never were but now you really can't. I actually want to highlight that you said that twice. Sleep, nutrition, joy, purpose. There was one, this one nutritionist who did a retreat with me back in Ojai, and she talked about how sometimes people will eat, like, candy, sugar, chocolate, because they actually didn't play or have joy in their day, and so they're trying to fulfill this need with food, versus, like, going on a swing or, you know, playing a game, or laughing out loud like something else that's that has to do with joy and purpose. You know?Brad Crowell 19:24  Yeah, I just thought it was great. I think that we easily can forget that being happy, being positive joy, it really does shift our outlook, our mind and then ultimately, our body. Wow.Lesley Logan 19:42  I also just highlight, like, we are human beings. And so many people are doing the human doing thing, you know? And so, like, especially in perimenopause, or even just like, when you're going through your cycle, it really does force you to go, oh, I should take care of myself right now. Like, the week before my period, I have to, like, slow down and do less, because otherwise I'm a bitch, and that's okay if I just do less. I'm not I'm a less of a bitch.Brad Crowell 20:07  Well, that's a great note to wrap that up. Stick around. We'll be right back. We're gonna get into those, Be It Action Items that we had with Bria Gadd, The Period Whisperer. Brad Crowell 20:22  All right. Finally, welcome back. Let's dig into those Be It Action Items we were just talking about. What bold, executable, intrinsic or targeted action items can we take away from your convo with Bria? She said, here's how you get out of health debt. We have to start with the basics, okay? So what are the basics? She talked about the four core pillars that we actually need in place. So I'm going to just review those four things. Sleep. Here's what we do about sleep, hold an actual space for sleep. She said, aim for about eight hours and keep bedtimes and wake up times consistent. So get on a routine. Even 80% of the time being consistent will make a difference for you. So but I like this idea of holding a space for sleep. Lesley and I often talk about sleep being a rock in our schedule, meaning that it has to be scheduled first, right? It can't just be like, Oops, I got, you know, I'm accidentally getting some sleep now, you have to actually be planning ahead. Nutrition. She said, eat with consistency. Have your first meal within two hours of waking then eat every four to five hours. Your meal should actually keep you full and provide more energy than they take away. So your meals should actually provide you energy so that there's some nutrition stuff there that will you have to dig into, but they should be providing you energy. Movement. Prioritize functional movement, like walking, yoga and Pilates. Using intense exercise for energy is like using a credit card for energy you don't actually have, right? It's like using a credit card for energy you don't actually have. So she's saying functional movement, not necessarily intense movement, right?Lesley Logan 21:51  Correcrt because intense movement is actually going to spike your cortisol. And if you do it the wrong time of the day, or if you've already had a high cortisol day, you're actually causing yourself more harm than good. I would say if you're especially if you're over 40. This is coming from someone who loves to work out and loves to lift weights. I have to be very intentional, otherwise I fuck up my sleep.Brad Crowell 22:15  Yeah, so and then she said joy and stress management. Joy is one of the biggest energy currency, currencies that we have for our body and you need it daily to really stress and create space for it, and to tie this to what I was saying before the break, purpose can really help you find that joy when you have a purpose, whether that is donating your time at the SPCA, or having a job you really love, or, you know, whatever it might be, kids, family, job, like, like, life, art, travel, music, whatever it is, when you have purpose behind you, it will help you find that joy even more.Lesley Logan 22:53  Yeah, yeah. I agree. I agree with all that stuff. Brad Crowell 22:55  Yeah. What about you? Lesley Logan 22:56  You have to slow down and be still. This is something very hard for me to do. Brad Crowell 23:00  Well, it definitely fits with scheduling time for sleep. Lesley Logan 23:03  Yes, oh, you know what I do. Here's the thing. This is actually, since I talked to Bria Gadd, my girlfriend's turned me on to this thing. We probably heard ads for it. But I drink that Moon Brew and they have an extra one. They have one that's like an extra sleep one. So you can also look at that, but like, I drink that Moon Brew and it's a nice little nighttime routine. It like, lets my brain know, like, Hey, we're getting ready for sleep, you know. And it's got all this good stuff, the healthy sleep. I highly recommend it. You go to moonbrew.co/lesleylogan20 and then you can use Lesley Logan 20 to save, but anyways, I love that. I love. Brad Crowell 23:34  We'll put that link in the show notes. Lesley Logan 23:36  Yeah, I think it's really difficult. My busy body, ladies, we have to slow down to be still. But like, even if you just, like, have a moment where you just go sit in your yard, or sit on your porch and sip your coffee, or you in the morning, ideally, or you sip your mood, like, just sit still for a second. Like, amazing ideas come to you. And it really does not just, like, get you answers about what you're looking for, which you want to do next, or what that purpose could be, but it helps. It helps get the brain ready for what's next. So I like that. Start with foundation. So do the basics instead of skipping ahead. If you can't do the basics, that's your sign to move to step three, which is ask for help. So if you can't do basics, if you're someone who likes to be like, I'm advanced, I'm an advanced practitioner. A lot of those people come to Pilates, they don't want to be getting beginner classic, like, I'm an advanced mover. And it's like I did a Pilates class and it was too easy. So I'm advanced. It's like, ask for help. So I have been asking for tons of help this year, and it's only March 1st, the day we're recording this. You're here in this April 2nd. But like, I have been to like, 17 docs appointments already, but I have been asking for help because you want to know what some things aren't working anymore. Things that used to work have stopped working. And so it's like, instead of just suffering in silence, you can ask for help. You could ask for Bria Gadd's help. You can ask for your doctor's help. Like, stop trying to pretend like you know everything, you know? And also, yes, I love asking the internet for stuff, but oh my god, you could easily end up in a Maha fucking algorithm. So you got to be mindful, because, remember, studying Women's Health is a very new thing, and so there's a lot of misinformation out there. It's better to talk to people who actually do study it and do work with people who are going through with what you're going through so, you know, I had to switch gynecologists in the last six months because I wanted to get hormone therapy from them, and so I switched to someone who specializes in that. Loved my gynecologist I had before, she's amazing, sent a ton of people to her, but because I'm now on the hormone track, I switched to someone who specialized in that, and that is been so helpful. The last two appointments, I'm like, this is bothering me. She's like, let's try this thing. And I'm like, Oh my God, is it that it's that easy? And if it's not that easy, you have the wrong person in your corner, that's what I have to say. So Bria Gadd, thanks for being The Period Whisperer, thanks for all your amazing advice. Brad Crowell 25:45  Yeah. Lesley Logan 25:46  I'm Lesley Logan. Brad Crowell 25:47  I'm Brad Crowell. Lesley Logan 25:48  You're amazing.

What if the reason you cannot sleep, cannot relax, and cannot seem to get unstuck in midlife has nothing to do with your hormones, your diet, or your effort... and everything to do with the four walls around you? This conversation with Marie Diamond stopped me in my tracks. Marie is one of the world's most recognized feng shui masters, a featured teacher in The Secret, and someone who has spent decades helping people understand how their physical environments are quietly shaping their subconscious minds, their brain waves, their stress levels, and their ability to attract health, love, and abundance. And no, this is not woo. There are actual studies. Brain wave testing. Research out of the University of Beijing. Kinesiology measurements. The science is catching up to what Marie has been teaching for decades. We get into the specific feng shui mistakes most midlife women are making in their bedrooms (one of them might be why your passion and sleep quality have both quietly disappeared). We talk about why walking through your garage every morning is setting you up for a certain kind of day, what the scattered coins in your car are saying about your relationship with money, and why that picture hanging in your relationship corner might be telling a story you never meant to tell. Marie also walks us through her personal energy number system, something I tried live on this episode for myself, and it explained something about my connection to water and where I thrive that I had felt my whole life but never had language for. Whether you have always been curious about feng shui or you think it sounds a little out there, I promise this conversation will leave you looking at your home completely differently. And probably moving some furniture tonight.   Episode Links:  Your Home Is a Vision Board Book https://amzn.to/4sJ7PeL  Free Marie Diamond App https://www.mariediamond.com/app  Learn More About Marie Diamond Instagram ➜ https://www.instagram.com/mariediamondofficial Website ➜  https://www.mariediamond.com/app   Free Gifts for being a listener of Midlife Conversations!

Ever wonder why certain skills are in the Acrobatic Arts syllabus? In this episode, Sarah walks through two of them -- the cartwheel rebound and the roundoff -- and breaks down not just how to teach them, but why they're there in the first place. Spoiler: the cartwheel rebound isn't a roundoff progression. And understanding that changes how you teach it.About Sarah Reis In her early development Sarah split her time between gymnastics and dance then later got into circus work and competitive rock climbing. The combination of these skills led her to a performance career as a stunt double in the thriving Vancouver film scene. While enjoying a professional performance career she worked on various projects including cruiseship contracts, print, television, film and nightlife productions. Sarah has always felt it was important to continue her education and graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Kinesiology in 2006. After graduation Sarah started work as an artistic sport rehabilitation specialist in a Physiotherapy clinic during the day while teaching dance in the evening. At the clinic Sarah primarily designed return to training programs for injured artistic athletes.

 Sarah is a certified teacher in acrobatics through the Canadian Dance Teachers Association (CDTA) and is a level three coach in women's artistic gymnastics with the National Coaching Certification Program (NCCP). Sarah holds longstanding certificates with many established dance teacher, Pilates and fitness related organizations. Sarah eventually returned to school to study contemporary dance at Simon Fraser University and completed a second degree in Education. Sarah spent some time working in the school district, holding an official teaching license with the BC ministry of Education in the specialty of performing arts and physical education. In 2008 she completed her Master's degree in Human Performance Coaching Sciences from the University of Victoria where she researched in the field of athletic motor development and later developed the curriculum for the International Dance Teaching Standards teacher education program for developing dance educators. Sarah began her doctorate research in Leadership Education but has since switched her focus to Dance Medicine. Within her research Sarah is interested in AcroDance teaching methodology and recently presented at the International Association of Dance Medicine and Science. When not touring as a public speaker, Sarah is the director of a large dance competition and manages a physiotherapy clinic among other small businesses.

Deep within the body lies a group of muscles we rarely think about, yet they hold so much of our daily lives—our continence, our stability, our pleasure, and sometimes our pain. The pelvic floor is both an anatomical and emotional terrain, where physiology meets intimacy and where silence has long replaced education. Yet despite its importance, pelvic health remains surrounded by silence and stigma, even though pelvic floor disorders affect nearly one in three women and millions of men worldwide. Why do so many people live with pelvic pain, incontinence, or painful intimacy without ever seeking help? How much of sexual pleasure and dysfunction is rooted in the body—and how much in the mind? And what might change if we finally started talking openly about pelvic health, intimacy, and the muscles that quietly support them both?In this episode, we are joined by Dr. Willy Quach, DPT, PT (known online as Dr. Q / Pelvic Floor Galore), a California-based Doctor of Physical Therapy and a pelvic health specialist, particularly in rehabilitation for men and the queer and underserved communities. Dr. Quach received his BS in Kinesiology and Exercise Science and DPT from California State University, Northridge.We are also joined by Kimmy Wu, MHC, MA (known online as the Asian Sex Therapist), a New York-based relational and sex psychotherapist, seeking to tear down the taboos surrounding the topics of sex and pleasure. Kimmy received her MA in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Northwestern University. Currently, she is the founder of Thirdspace, a startup that helps create authentic connections in a disconnected world, and the mental health writer behind 'Between Living & Dreaming,' a Substack that explores the tensions of being human & cultural critiques of modern society. Previously, Kimmy was the Director of the WAVES program of Asian Mental Health Collective, a community-driven initiative focused on reducing stigma and promoting mental wellness within the Asian diaspora.Follow Friends of Franz Podcast: Website, Instagram, FacebookFollow Christian Franz (Host): Instagram, YouTube

On March 19, 2026 we spoke with Dr. Se-Woong Park about the idea that many of the symptoms of Autism may arise from changes in brain mechanisms that allow us to predict events in the near future from those in the recent past. Topics included internal predictions of postural destabilization produced by our own movements, and prediction of the trajectories of moving objects. We discussed some experimental results testing this idea.Guest:Se-Woong Park, Associate Professor, Department of Kinesiology, UTSAParticipating:Hyoung-gon Lee, Department of Neuroscience, Developmental and Regenerative Biology, UTSAHost:Charles Wilson, Department of Neuroscience, Developmental and Regenerative Biology, UTSAThanks to James Tepper for original music

But Dr Prins and his colleagues revisit the evidence and ask a deeper question: is that explanation actually supported by the data?In this conversation, they explore the physiology of fatigue, the often-overlooked role of blood glucose and liver glycogen, and the phenomenon of exercise-induced hypoglycaemia as a potential driver of performance limitation. They also discuss how relatively small amounts of carbohydrate can improve performance, why higher intakes don't always translate into better outcomes, and what this means for current high-carbohydrate fueling recommendations.Along the way, Mikki and Dr Prins unpack fat oxidation in low-carbohydrate-adapted athletes, the importance of individual metabolic differences, and whether fueling strategies for endurance athletes may need to be far more individualised than current guidelines suggest.This is a fascinating discussion that challenges long-held assumptions about carbohydrate, fatigue, and how athletes should actually fuel for performance.Dr. Philip Prins is an Associate Professor of Exercise Science. Dr. Prince earned a B.S. in Kinesiology as well as an M.S. in Exercise Science from Georgia Southern University, and a Ph.D. in Exercise Physiology from the University of Pittsburgh. His research focuses on, among other things, the practical impact of lifestyle on metabolism and how metabolism impacts health, disease and performance outcomes. Among his many areas of expertise are nutritional ketosis, metabolic responses to exercise, and sports nutrition.Dr Prins can be found here: https://www.gcc.edu/Home/Academics/Faculty-Directory/Faculty-Detail/philip-prins Dr Prins Researchgate: https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Philip-PrinsStudy https://academic.oup.com/edrv/article/47/2/191/8432248 Previous podcasts https://podcast.mikkiwilliden.com/190 and https://podcast.mikkiwilliden.com/348  Contact Mikki:https://mikkiwilliden.com/https://www.facebook.com/mikkiwillidennutritionhttps://www.instagram.com/mikkiwilliden/https://linktr.ee/mikkiwilliden

This week's guest would like to apologize. Like many of us before perimenopause hit, Shawna Norton admits she used to quietly doubt—even judge—women who said their bodies changed overnight despite doing nothing differently. Then it happened to her. Now she gets it. And she's genuinely sorry. In this wide-ranging, sometimes raucous, and brutally honest conversation, we dig into her own experience with rapid weight gain, joint pain, brain fog, and the unsettling feeling of living in a body that suddenly feels unfamiliar. We talk cortisol, stress resilience, inflammation, blood sugar management, the complexities of HRT, sleep strategies, and the emotional whiplash of navigating so many unknowns at once. Most of all, we talk about validation—because sometimes the most powerful thing you can hear in this chaotic time of life is: you're not alone.Shawna Norton, M.S., is a kinesiology specialist, strength coach, and nutrition coach dedicated to helping women build resilient, high-performing bodies. She holds a Master of Science in Kinesiology and is a CrossFit Level 1 Trainer as well as a Level 1 Certified Nutrition Coach through Precision Nutrition. Shawna is the founder of Competitive Female Training, a women-only coaching program where she guides athletes in fueling their training, optimizing performance, and focusing on what their bodies can do. She also coaches with Deep End Fitness, integrating stress-resilience and breath-driven performance strategies into athletic development.

Your brain has two jobs when you're injured: keep you safe and keep you functional. So it finds a workaround. It automates it. And it keeps running it — long after the injury is gone.Sound familiar? In part two of Move for Your Brain, Amy and Marian Barnick explore how movement compensations work exactly like thought habits — locked in by the brain, running on autopilot, and quietly working against you until you learn to see them.If you've ever wondered why your knee still aches years after an old injury, why your shoulder never quite came back after surgery, or why you move differently on one side than the other — this episode explains what's actually happening. And more importantly, what to do about it.What You'll LearnHow the brain automates movement compensations — and why it never lets them go on its ownWhy treating the symptom (the pain) without retraining the brain never fully worksThe parallel between movement habits and thought habits — and why both require the same approach to changeWhat Marian's Kinetic Stacking Method is and how it breaks compensation cyclesThe Lindsey Vonn discussion: what a torn ACL after a knee replacement reveals about automated neural patternsWhen to see a physiotherapist vs. a kinesiologist — and why you often need bothWhat to Listen For[0:00]  Your brain wins always[1:53]  Menopause weight gain and movement compensations[3:51]  How babies learn to move: the kinesiological blueprint for healing[5:19]  "Your brain has two jobs: keep you safe and keep you functional"[7:47]  The RESTORED Protocol and the exercise factor[8:09]  Physio vs. kinesiologist: who does what and when[10:16]  Lindsey Vonn injury discussion[11:44]  Automated movement in elite athletes — the neural pathway explanation[14:28]  "The muscles are just the worker bees"Resources Mentioned• Thoughts Are Habits Too by Amy Lang: [link]• RESTORED Protocol (free guide): moxie-club.com/restored• Marian Barnick's free lower body mobility guide: [Marian's link]• Part 1 of this series: Episode [###]RESOURCES: Book a FREE Discovery Call with Amy Order Amy's book Thoughts Are Habits Too: Master Your Triggers, Free Yourself From Diet Culture, and Rediscover Joyful Eating.

In this episode, I talk with Dr. Courtney Conley, world renowned foot expert and author of Walk: Rediscover the Most Natural Way to Boost Your Health and Longevity One Step at a Time, about why walking is not exercise—it’s a physiological necessity. Dr. Courtney makes the bold case that walking speed should be the sixth vital sign. Research shows that a slower walking pace can be predictive of things like dementia and increased cancer risk, and that simply adding 500 steps to a 2,500-step baseline can reduce all-cause mortality by 7%. We also challenge the 10,000-step myth and explain why living in the 5,000–8,500 step range delivers powerful benefits—especially when you sprinkle in five-minute “movement snacks” and intentional faster walking. We go deep into foot strength and modern footwear, including why one in three people over age 45 has foot pain, how constant cushioning can weaken the foot, and why pronation is mandatory for a healthy gait. Dr. Courtney explains her “24-hour shoe clock” concept—there’s a time and a place for everything, but the goal is trending toward barefoot functionality so the foot can do what it was designed to do. It’s a practical, motivating conversation about strengthening your feet, improving your walking speed, and reclaiming this fundamental human movement that impacts every system in your body. Dr. Courtney Conley holds a Doctorate in Chiropractic Medicine and bachelor’s degrees in Kinesiology and Human Biology. She is the founder and creator of Gait Happens and has worked with professional athletic organizations including the Phoenix Suns, New York Yankees, Cleveland Browns, New York Giants, San Francisco 49ers, and Minnesota Vikings. Dr. Conley serves as Head of Patient Care at Total Health Solutions and Total Health Performance, premier healthcare destinations known for their comprehensive, science-based approach to patient care. TIMESTAMPS: Our survival as a species has hinged on one key factor: movement. (Dr. Conley) [01:17] Why are we treating the foot so much differently than we're treating the rest of the human body? [07:07] Gait Happens is an online educational company. [10:48] The super cushioned shoes can improve performance because it allows your foot to not have to do the work that it is designed to do. But you need to get your feet stronger. [14:32] One out of three people over the age of 45 have foot pain. [18:39] Walking should be integrated throughout the day. [24:10] On the bottom of the foot, we have many sensory receptors. When we put cushioned shoes on, we compromise some important sensory information. [27:09] The speed of one's gait can be predictive of longevity. [28:43] When the heel hits the ground, it starts the cascade of the foot unlocking or pronation. That is a mandatory thing that has to happen. [34:46] The 10,000 steps we have heard so much about is kind of a myth. [39:36] Walking is all about rotation. You are nourishing your joints. You’re loading your spine and bones. Your muscles are active and your nervous system is engaged. [46:28] There is a difference between ambient walking and intentional walking. [47:40] In her clinic, the most common things she sees are heel pain and big toe pain. [49:18] Many folks in the running population who are heavy users of the elevated cushion shoes visit her clinic to learn ways to strengthen their feet. [53:17] What exercises and strengthening can people learn from your book? [54:38] Your shoe should respect the anatomy of the foot. The widest part of your foot should be the toes.

In this episode of Acta Non Verba, Marcus Aurelius Anderson sits down with legendary self-defense expert and fear management coach Tony Blauer for an in-depth discussion on betrayal, resilience, and the power of managing fear in business and life. Tony shares candid stories of being betrayed by trusted partners and employees over his 40+ year career, revealing how he's shortened his recovery time from months to mere hours through the principles he teaches. The conversation explores the "timeline of violence" concept applied to business relationships, the importance of trusting your instincts, and why fear—when properly managed—becomes your greatest asset rather than your enemy. Episode Highlights [4:18] Betrayal is Inevitable for Innovators - If you're creating something original and breaking new ground, people will copy you. Tony shares how he went from taking months to recover from betrayal to processing it in 24 hours by building his "resilience muscle" through experience and applying his own fear management principles. [33:34] The Three I's: Instincts, Intuition, and Intelligence - Tony reveals the core of his SPEAR system's soft skills: your instincts give you a "bad feeling," your intuition whispers warnings, but cognitive dissonance often makes you ignore both. Learning to trust these signals and "choose safety" is critical in business partnerships, relationships, and dangerous situations. [53:54] You Can't Be Brave If You're Not Afraid - The primary ingredient of courage is fear. Tony explains why there are things in life you must do afraid, and you'll never not be afraid of them. The key is managing fear rather than eliminating it—mismanaged fear is always negative, but managed fear is always positive. [69:50] The Rational-Lie - We all rationalize why we should or shouldn't do something, but when you put a hyphen between "rational" and "lie," you realize you're selling yourself a story. Tony shares how recognizing your rational-lies—whether in business decisions, relationships, or self-defense situations—is the first step to making better choices. Tony Blauer is a pioneer in close-quarters combat, self-defense, and fear management training with over 40 years of experience. He created the SPEAR System (Spontaneous Protection Enabling Accelerated Response), the world's only behaviorally-based self-defense protocol founded on neurobiology, kinesiology, and psychology. Tony has trained military special forces, law enforcement agencies, and martial artists worldwide, and his research on fear and human performance has influenced everyone from Hollywood actors to elite operators. He's also developed the "Know Fear" program, teaching people how to convert fear into fuel for peak performance in high-stress situations. At 65, Tony continues to innovate and mentor through Blauer Training Systems, sharing hard-won wisdom on resilience, courage, and the intersection of physical and psychological preparedness.

On today's episode of The Jimmy Rex Show, Jimmy sits down with Naweïa Wilder, a health + healing practitioner who works with Iboga and other alternative modalities focused on deep emotional healing, truth work, and self-love.They start with Naweïa's background growing up Mormon in California, her unexpected decision to serve an LDS mission in Guatemala, and the spiritual questions that followed. From there, Naweïa shares how her path expanded into energy work, kinesiology, EFT tapping, and ultimately plant medicine, including early experiences with ayahuasca and the moment she felt strongly called toward Iboga. Jimmy and Naweïa break down what makes Iboga different, why it's often described as a “truth hunter,” and how it can help people work through trauma, addiction patterns, emotional loops, and the deeper roots of self-sabotage.Naweïa also talks about the real meaning of self-love, why healing isn't just “feel good” spirituality, and how different parts of the psyche can stay stuck even when the adult version of you looks successful on paper.This is a deep, honest conversation about faith, healing, forgiveness, personal evolution, and what it looks like to find your own path to God without judgment.
