In this episode of Shift with CJ, we explore two of the most powerful, low-cost habits that transform your energy, body, and brain—sleep optimization and foundational movement. If Day 1 was about igniting change through fasted cardio and portion control, Day 2 is about mastering recovery and resilience.What You'll Learn:Why Sleep Is Your #1 Biohack: CJ reveals how sleep is the cornerstone of recovery, hormone regulation, fat loss, and mental clarity—and how improving sleep is free. He breaks down which foods enhance melatonin and serotonin production and which ones sabotage your rest.The Big 6 Exercises: You'll get an intro to the most essential movements that form the foundation of any fitness plan:Squats (legs)Push movements (e.g., push-ups)Pull movements (e.g., rows, pull-downs)CJ emphasizes quality over quantity—form, breath, and the mind-body connection are key. These aren't about performance but about building the habit.Why Movement + Sleep Work Together: Good sleep boosts muscle recovery, while exercise improves sleep quality by regulating your circadian rhythm, lowering stress, and tiring out your nervous system naturally.Key Takeaways:Form beats reps. Don't worry about lifting heavy. Focus on slow, controlled movement—3 seconds down, 2 seconds up.Use the 10-rep rule. For each of the Big 6 movements, do 10 reps per set with 3 sets total.Track your workouts. Use a handwritten or digital journal. Record your sets, how you felt, and your breath control to build awareness.Sleep-enhancing foods include:Kiwi (melatonin and serotonin)Tart cherry juice (natural melatonin)Banana (tryptophan and potassium)Turkey (L-tryptophan)SMASH fish like salmon, mackerel, anchovies, sardines, herring (omega-3s and vitamin D)Sleep-sabotaging foods include:Spicy foods (raise body temperature)Cheese (contains brain-stimulating thiamine)Sugary desserts (cause blood sugar crashes)Alcohol (interferes with REM sleep)Chocolate (contains caffeine and theobromine)Acidic foods (may cause heartburn or discomfort)5 Things to Start Doing Today:Do a 15-minute workout using Squats, Push, and Pull movements – master the basics slowly and record your progress.Eat 2 kiwis or drink 237 ml of tart cherry juice 1–2 hours before bed to naturally increase melatonin and reduce time to fall asleep.Avoid spicy, sugary, or acidic foods after 6 PM—your digestion and sleep quality will thank you.Add one SMASH fish (salmon, mackerel, anchovies, sardines, herring) to your dinner this week to support better serotonin production and deeper sleep.Create a wind-down routine that starts with light stretching or journaling and avoids screens and stimulants 60–90 minutes before bed.Final Insight: Exercise tears down. Sleep builds up. When you respect both, you create the environment for your strongest, healthiest, most energized self to emerge.—Listen now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or YouTube.

I've visited some temples recently! "Gospel Tangents" recently hosted a surprise live session, a "late night unannounced edition," much to the delight of its "night owl" viewers. I shared a whirlwind of Temples, Travels, updates, upcoming content, and even some breaking news from various Restorationist traditions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jw_a2PA5jAU Temples, Travels, & Timely Insights! I've been traveling extensively, leading to a "boatload of pictures" and a significant backlog of videos waiting to be edited. Despite the busy schedule, i'm eager to share my experiences: Community of Christ World Conference in Independence: Rick attended and captured his reactions to Stassi Cramm being ordained the new prophet. While there, he met a man from New Zealand (a "Kiwi") and expressed hope for interviews with people from the Temple Lot Church, including Tom from a fundamentalist group and potentially Stassi Cramm herself. Mormon History Association (MHA): This event also proved fruitful, including tours of LDS churches, such as an old one in Ogden and Joseph Soderberg's church where President Hinckley reportedly gained his testimony. Exploring the Strangites in Wisconsin: This trip was a major highlight. I stayed with Bill Shepard, a former guest, and toured various Strangite sites with Gary Weber and David Boice. ◦ A key stop was the Hill of Promise, which the Strangites consider akin to the Hill Cumorah. It's believed to be where James J. Strang found the Voree record, a "short record of the people of Raja Ramor." This record described a people similar to those in the Book of Mormon, with a priesthood structure mirroring Joseph and James's. The Hill of Promise also holds future significance, as Strangite revelations state that Daniel from the Bible will appear there to announce Christ's approaching second coming. ◦ I also visited the site of the unbuilt Strangite temple in Burlington, which was planned to be "quite significant" in size. ◦ Rick also drove by James Strang's house in Burlington, where Strang died three weeks after his assassination on the dock of Lake Michiga. ◦ A fascinating piece of news is that David Boice is moving to Utah at the end of July. Rick plans to visit Beaver Island (Strangite Island) in July or August, noting that while Gary Weber says there's "not a lot to see," one can rent a golf cart for getting around. He also mentioned Vicki Speek is working on a census of the island. ◦ For those unfamiliar, James J. Strang claimed an angelic ordination on the day Joseph Smith died (June 27, 1844). He translated the Voree plates and later the "plates of Laban" (published as the Book of the Law of the Lord). He settled in Burlington, then moved to Beaver Island, where he was crowned king and even served in the Michigan legislature. His efforts to stop Gentiles from selling liquor to Native Americans reportedly led to his assassination with the help of the U.S. Navy. Upcoming Trip to Calgary and Cardston, Alberta: Rick is flying to Calgary for his son's wedding. He plans to make a video about the Cardston Alberta Temple, which was the first international temple for the LDS Church. Some compare it to the Mesa Temple and notes its "pioneer feel" like the Manti Temple. The Cardston Temple's murals are darker, possibly due to varnish, and hopes for a refurbishment once a new temple opens in Lethbridge. Book Giveaways and Exciting New Releases The live session included a book giveaway for "Joseph Fielding Smith a Mormon Theologian," won by Mark Francis. Looking ahead, the channel is celebrating the release of John Turner's new book, "Joseph Smith The Rise and Fall of an American Prophet," which launched in June on Amazon. (The contest is over now.) Rick gave away an autographed copy of this book. Potentially "Breaking News" from the Temple Lot Church I discovered some surprising news regarding the Temple Lot Church: they are "going to quit selling the Book of Commandme...

It's been a dream couple of months for Ryan Fox. In May, the Kiwi golfer won the Myrtle Beach Classic, claiming his first PGA Tour win. From there he made the cut for the PGA Championship, won his second Tour event at the Canadian Open, before making the cut for the US Open. He'll soon be heading to the UK for the Scottish Open and Open Championship, taking a week's break ahead of the tournament. “It's been a crazy couple of months,” Fox told Mike Hosking. “Going from trying to figure out where we're gonna play gold, or where I was going to play golf next year, where we're going to live as a family, to, yeah, being on the PGA Tour for a few more years now, and having a couple of wins and playing my way into the big events.” He says he's still trying to come to terms with it all, but it's what he's always dreamed of doing. “It's pretty cool.” LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A friend of ours opened a new business last week. It was a soft opening and will be full steam ahead by the school holidays. So far he is going gangbusters. There's a lot of local support and it looks like a good news story. He is however, if you believe the headlines that have been supplied by his industry association, in very dark and difficult days. They don't look difficult at his place. The GDP figures came out as we were away on the long weekend - up 0.8% for Q1. The Reserve Bank thought it would be 0.4%. Most banks thought it would be 0.7%. The reality was better than everyone thought. Nick Tuffley, the ASB's head man on economics, also on Thursday told us he still had growth in the second quarter just gone, April, May and June. He had us 0.3-0.4% up. Other commentary last week from manufacturing and services said we had hit a brick wall. If Nick is right there is no brick wall, the same way Q1 was not 0.4%, it was 0.8%. The point is this: is it possible we are in such a funk we don't want to see reality? You know what else I read? Australia, the repository of so many disillusioned New Zealanders, is now losing more people than it has since Covid. A mass exodus is on. People are bailing out of Australia, healthcare is chronically bad, you can't get seen, the Government is sinking in debt, house prices have spiked past an average of a million everywhere, there are more people than ever since records began and people are working multiple jobs just to make ends meet. This is Australia, the golden answer for the miserable Kiwi looking for better. Maybe better is here? Maybe in a turbulent, troubled world the Land of the Long White Cloud is actually coming right and people like our mate and his new business sees it. And a lot of what's in front of us is attitude. Is there trouble in some areas? Yes. Are there issues still unresolved? Yes. But do we have growth and prospect? Yes. Do the numbers back that up? Indeed they do! Maybe the grass is in fact nice and just as green here. You just got to want to see it. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

After the fanfare of the OpenAI/Jony Ive multibillion-dollar device partnership, io, all references were scrubbed from the internet as if it never happened. After rampant speculation, it was revealed that it was over a claim the whole thing was stolen. From some guy named Jason, no less. Seems like OpenAI is a real drama magnet.

When you hear the name ‘James May', it's likely you think of cars, Top Gear, and The Grand Tour, but much like his co-stars, May has plenty of other projects. He owns his own pub and gin line, and has done countless shows visiting other countries, rebuilding toys and machines, and exploring life's questions. May's now onto his next journey – a live theatre performance that brings the stories of explorers to the stage. It's called ‘Explorers: The Age of Discovery', and May's bringing it to Kiwi audiences in August. It's been quite a busy year for May – something he told Mike Hosking was quite unintentional. “This year was going to be my, what I called a ‘dry run at retirement', to see how much I liked it,” he revealed. “But I've ended up doing a live tour, a couple of TV shows, various other odds and ends – it's actually the busiest year I've had for probably a decade, in terms of demands on my time.” “But maybe that's a good thing,” he said. “Maybe if I was left to my own devices, I'd sit in the garden and rot.” Despite his vast experience in the entertainment industry, May isn't terribly experienced with live performances. “We used to do Top Gear Live and then Clarkson, Hammond & May Live, but there were three of us doing it, plus our stunt driving team and various other circus performers,” he explained. “This one is quite intimidating because it just me."

Perimenopause, Menopause and Post Menopause - whatever stage you are at you can begin your best chapter yet and not let the big ‘M' take over.My guest in this episode is Barb Watson from Barb's Bod Squad. As a body builder, Barb thought she had cracked the code of dealing with Menopause but she was wrong. From her own personal journey through menopause, Barb has developed a program that is progressive. It's not a meal plan, it's not a training plan. Barb works with individuals to help them begin their best chapter yet.During the episode we discussed:* Food as healing and joy * Short, effective workouts * Mindset transformation* Adaptability and evolution * Consistency, not perfection * Embracing emotional realities This episode is also available to watch on YoutubeMeet Barb WatsonI'm Barbs, the heart and soul behind Barb's Bod Squad—a qualified personal trainer, ex-bodybuilder, and Kiwi girl at heart, proudly calling Australia home. After years managing corporate business transformations, I left that world to follow my true passion: helping women transform their health and confidence.Over a decade ago, menopause nearly broke me. I endured 32 unrecognised symptoms—crippling brain fog, relentless hot flushes, anxiety, unexpected weight gain and exhaustion. I was misdiagnosed repeatedly and sent on a frustrating and expensive wild goose chase that drained me emotionally and financially. I felt confused, overwhelmed, and completely alone.But from that chaos, I found clarity and purpose. I turned my struggle into strength and built a program to support women just like me.
