What if one of the most powerful indicators of your overall health wasn't found in your blood—but in your sperm? Jeyla Sadikova, founder of Illumicell AI, is here to explore how artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming fertility medicine and why male reproductive health may become one of the most important biomarkers in preventative healthcare. We discuss the alarming worldwide decline in fertility, why nearly half of male infertility may be reversible through lifestyle changes, and how today's fertility testing is still largely built on technology from the 1970s. Jeyla also explains how AI can analyze millions of cellular data points that traditional microscopes simply ignore, opening the door to earlier detection of inflammation, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, prostate health, and even cancer risk. Whether you're planning to have children—or simply want to optimize your long-term health—this conversation will completely change the way you think about fertility, prevention, and the future of personalized medicine. ----- 00:00 — Why fertility is declining across the globe 02:02 — Why developing countries are seeing fertility collapse 03:30 — Ranking the biggest threats to reproductive health 07:38 — Why male fertility has been ignored for decades 11:11 — The hidden costs of IVF and fertility care 15:20 — AI's biggest opportunity in healthcare 17:00 — Why sperm is a biomarker of total body health 20:08 — Why healthcare innovation moves so slowly 22:10 — What traditional semen analysis completely misses 27:19 — The connection between prostate health and fertility 28:49 — How Illumicell AI works 31:10 — Public health implications of better fertility data 34:19 — Stem cells, temporary vasectomies and the future of reproduction 36:37 — What AI actually contributes beyond human analysis 42:52 — How AI analyzes sperm differently than humans 45:06 — The future of wearable fertility tracking 48:21 — Designer babies vs better healthcare 52:22 — Why fertility data could prevent future miscarriages 55:14 — Where this technology is headed next 56:23 — What "Ever Forward" means to Jeyla ----- Episode resources: Strong Coffee Company: Clean functional coffee with collagen, MCTs, adaptogens and sustained energy. Save 15% with code CHASE LMNT: Electrolytes for hydration, cognitive performance and recovery. Free Sample Pack with purchase Fatty15: C15:0 essential fatty acid supporting long-term cellular health. Save 15% on the Starter Kit

In this episode, Jon and Adam are joined by instructor and 3D motion capture expert Jon Sinclair for a deep dive into what the best players actually do — and what everyday golfers should not blindly copy. Sinclair explains why many so-called fundamentals, like grip, stance, and posture, are not universal, and how great players often succeed by building around their own “superpowers.” The conversation explores how golfers create consistency through better thought processes, why trying to fix every bad shot can make things worse, and how swing changes need to evolve into playable skills on the course. They also get into wedge technique, short-game launch conditions, shaft consistency, and why better data should simplify your golf game rather than make it more confusing.

To learn more about Jim Waldron's teaching and golf schools, visit: https://balancepointgolf.com/ In this episode, we are joined by golf coach Jim Waldron for a wide-ranging conversation about the mind-body connection in golf. Jim explains how awareness, focused attention, and staying “external” can help golfers quiet the inner voice, manage pressure, and access their skills more freely on the course. The discussion also covers the yips, pre-shot routines, balance, Ben Hogan's mental approach, and why many golfers sabotage themselves by trying too hard to control the outcome. They also explore why consistency is such a misleading goal in golf, and how golfers can find more enjoyment by building a “secondary scorecard” beyond just handicap and score.   Thank you to our show sponsors Lagoon Sleep, For Wellness, Momentous, and Square: Lagoon Sleep helps you find the right pillow for your sleep position and body type with a quick two-minute quiz, giving you a more personalized setup for better rest and recovery.

For decades, Americans were told to replace butter with seed oils. Then the internet swung the other direction and declared seed oils a “mitochondrial toxin.” But what if both sides are missing the real problem? In this episode, Dr. Josh Axe breaks down the seed oil debate using the studies on both sides — including data showing higher linoleic acid intake was associated with 15% lower cardiovascular deaths and 21% lower heart disease, while other trials suggest replacing saturated fat with omega-6-rich oils may increase cardiovascular risk.

Forget the swashbuckling, tights, and the lighthearted folk hero we grew up with. This isn't the Errol Flynn classic. We're looking at an aging, broken Hugh Jackman trying to survive in a medieval world that is, frankly, just as brutal as you'd imagine. It's dark, it's dirty, and it's arguably the only "revisionist" film lately that doesn't feel like a total slog. It trades the myth for the man—a guy haunted by a lifetime of violence and just looking for a way out.It's a far cry from the Saturday matinee legends, but if you're tired of the swapping, hollow reboots, this might be the gritty, honest look at the character you didn't know you needed. Looking for that coffee that goes with your lifestyle?

In this episode of The Wellness Edge, Dr. Paul Arciero takes a deep dive into the 30-Day Reset, explaining the products, their purpose, and how they work together to support lasting health and healthy habits. Dr. Paul describes the system as a "symphony" of nutrition—with each product playing a unique role while working synergistically to support the body as a whole. Learn why IsaLean® Shakes are the nutritional foundation, the science behind cleanse days, the role of support products like Ionic Supreme®, Natural Accelerator®, and IsaFlush®, and why the 30-Day Reset is designed to be a sustainable lifestyle—not a quick fix. He also addresses common questions about MCTs and triglycerides and shares how simple, consistent habits can support energy, metabolism, and long-term wellness. Plus, hear an exciting preview from Dr. Paul on the future of gut health innovation and what's coming next for Isagenix.

The episode explores why golfers should not expect to feel fully comfortable on the course, especially under pressure, and how accepting nerves, bad swings, or lingering fears can help keep a round together. There is also a debate about whether golfers should tee the ball up on par threes, which is tied to a larger conversation about margin for error, reducing big mistakes, and testing what works best for your own game. Finally, the episode covers how on-course personality affects performance, and why finding the right balance between focus on the ball and staying relaxed between shots can be a major unlock for both scoring and enjoyment.

In this episode, Jon and Adam discuss a simple but more useful way to track golf stats without getting buried in apps or misleading numbers like fairways hit and total putts. Jon explains how golfers can evaluate tee shots, approach shots, wedge play, and putting with a basic checkmark/X system focused on whether shots were functional, playable, and connected to scoring. The larger message is that stat tracking only matters if it leads to a better post-round review: identifying good shots, spotting real patterns, and separating ball-striking issues from strategy or mental-process mistakes. The episode also includes a follow-up conversation with Jared Tendler about self-doubt, anxiety, and why golfers do not need perfect confidence to improve or compete well. Ultimately, the discussion encourages golfers to review their rounds with more clarity, less emotion, and a stronger focus on the patterns that actually hold them back.   Purchase Jared Tendler's new book, Everyday Golf Psychology ⁠here⁠ Join the free community Jared created around the book ⁠here Thank you to our show sponsors, Strike Wedge, For Wellness, Rhoback, Warby Parker, and Pestie Golfers who care about their game should care about taking care of their bodies too.

In this episode, we take a deep dive into one of golf's most misunderstood words: consistency. Adam and Jon unpack why consistency is not about making the exact same swing every time, but rather learning how to manage variability, improve impact patterns, and build bigger margins for error. They discuss why golfers often make themselves less consistent by trying to control too much, and how external focus, differential practice, smarter strategy, and better expectations can all help. If you've ever wondered why your good shots and bad shots can show up in random order, this episode will give you a much clearer framework for understanding what consistency really means in golf.

Eric Jang walks through how to build AlphaGo from scratch, but with modern AI tools.Sometimes you understand the future better by stepping backward. AlphaGo is still the cleanest worked example of the primitives of intelligence: search, learning from experience, and self-play. You have to go back to 2017 to get insight into how the more general AIs of the future might learn.Once he explained how AlphaGo works, it gave us the context to have a discussion about how RL works in LLMs and how it could work better – naive policy gradient RL has to figure out which of the 100k+ tokens in your trajectory actually got you the right answer, while AlphaGo's MCTS suggests a strictly better action every single move, giving you a training target that sidesteps the credit assignment problem. The way humans learn is surely closer to the second.Eric also kickstarted an Autoresearch loop on his project. And it was very interesting to discuss which parts of AI research LLMs can already automate pretty well (implementing and running experiments, optimizing hyperparameters) and which they still struggle with (choosing the right question to investigate next, escaping research dead ends).

Can something as simple as coconut oil support brain health in dementia?In this video, Dr. Bret Scher explores an emerging area of research focused on brain energy metabolism and how ketones may play a role in supporting cognitive function in conditions like Alzheimer's disease and mild cognitive impairment.As the brain's ability to use glucose declines in Alzheimer's, researchers have begun investigating whether ketones can help fill that energy gap.In this video, you'll learn:Why the brain may experience an energy deficit in Alzheimer's diseaseHow ketones provide an “alternative” fuel for the brainThe role of coconut oil and MCTs in raising ketone levelsInsights from Dr. Mary Newport's early observations and case reportsResearch from Dr. Stephen Cunnane on brain energy metabolismWhat current studies suggest about ketogenic therapies and cognitive functionCommon concerns about saturated fat and coconut oilDr. Scher also discusses the limitations of the current evidence. While early findings are promising, much of the research is still in its early stages, and more rigorous clinical trials are needed.At the same time, for individuals and families facing cognitive decline, low-risk lifestyle approaches like ketogenic strategies may be worth exploring under medical guidance.

Up to 70% of dementia may be preventable, so why aren't more people talking about what actually drives cognitive decline? In this episode, I'm with Dr. Tommy Wood, neuroscientist and author of “The Stimulated Mind,” to explore the lifestyle levers that protect your brain across a lifetime. Learn how white matter hyperintensities develop and whether they can reverse, what MCTs and ketones actually do for a glucose-starved brain, and why social connection may be the most underrated variable in cognitive aging.

Changes coming again to Milwaukee County's transit system due to a budget gap. How MMSD's green infrastructure work is helping keep our waterways clean. A book all about people with a Wisconsin connection who've changed the world.

Starting this weekend the Milwaukee County Transit System will shorten some routes at the edges of its ridership area. Riders will also need to wait longer for their buses at some stops. That's because the Milwaukee County Transit System reduced service to some routes to help deal with a 14 million dollar budget deficit. You may remember that bus fares went up by 75 cents at the beginning of this year. To learn more about these most recent changes, WUWM education reporter Katherine Kokal is joined by Jesus Ochoa, the system's Director of Service Development.

Gut Health, Brain Health and the Science of Better Dogs [caption id="attachment_15060" align="alignleft" width="363"] Dr. Lobos with her own dogs Finn and Journey.[/caption] What if your dog's digestion affects more than just stool quality—what if it influences immunity, stress responses and even behavior? Host Laura Reeves is joined by Dr. Ruth Ann Lobos, Senior Veterinarian with Purina Pro Plan, for a fascinating deep dive into the latest research on the canine microbiome and the gut-brain axis. From the real meaning of prebiotics, probiotics and postbiotics to the role of MCTs in fueling the aging brain, this conversation brings cutting-edge canine nutrition science down to earth for breeders and serious dog people. Lobos explores how modern canine nutrition is evolving beyond “just feeding a dog” and into targeted, research-backed support for digestion, cognition and quality of life. Dr. Lobos explains that Purina doesn't bring new diets to market simply for trendy ingredients or marketing hype—these new formulas are the result of years of research and partnerships with respected institutions like the AKC Canine Health Foundation and the renowned GI research lab at Texas A&M. Their goal is simple: support foundational health through the digestive system, since gut health affects everything from immunity to stress resilience—especially for dogs who travel, compete, or experience lifestyle changes. One of the biggest takeaways is the clear explanation of the difference between prebiotics, probiotics and postbiotics. Dr. Lobos breaks it down in a way every dog owner can understand, using a lawn analogy: prebiotics act like fertilizer, probiotics are the grass seed, and postbiotics are like compost—no longer alive, but still beneficial. The new Digestive Support Plus formula builds on the success of Sensitive Skin & Stomach by adding a science-supported probiotic strain that is shelf-stable and effective for dogs who need “just a little more” digestive support—without jumping straight to a veterinary therapeutic diet. The conversation also turns to senior dogs and brain health. Dr. Lobos shares the compelling research behind medium chain triglycerides (MCTs), which help provide an alternative fuel source for the aging brain. Dogs fed MCT-supported diets have shown improved learning, awareness, and cognitive function. Even more intriguing: related research has demonstrated seizure reduction in dogs with idiopathic epilepsy using higher-MCT therapeutic diets. This episode is a must-listen for breeders, competitors and devoted dog owners who want to understand the real science behind feeding decisions—without the buzzword nonsense.

Dr. Mary Newport shares groundbreaking research analyzing cholesterol profiles across 40 years of studies, challenging conventional wisdom about saturated fat and heart health. We discuss her findings on MCT oil for brain health, the 288 caregiver reports showing cognitive improvements, and practical protocols for using coconut oil and ketones.Dr. Mary Newport, physician and Alzheimer's researcher, joins us to discuss her latest research that challenges decades of assumptions about coconut oil and saturated fat. In this interview, we explore: • Her comprehensive analysis of 26 studies spanning 40 years (984 lipid profiles) showing coconut oil's unexpected effects on cholesterol • The 288 caregiver reports documenting improvements in memory, cognition, and daily function • How medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) may provide an alternative fuel source for aging brains • Practical protocols for incorporating coconut oil and MCT oil into your diet • The controversial history of dietary fat guidelines and the trans fat problem • Why the medical establishment has been slow to acknowledge ketone research Dr. Newport's work began with her husband Steve's dramatic response to coconut oil after his early-onset Alzheimer's diagnosis. Her research has since expanded to include hundreds of case reports and comprehensive lipid analysis.

Starting this week, some bus riders across Milwaukee County will need to wait longer for their rides. Especially on the weekends. That's because the Milwaukee County Transit System reduced service to some routes to help deal with a multimillion dollar budget deficit.   Regular fares also went up by 75 cents at the beginning of this year. To learn more about the changes, WUWM education reporter Katherine Kokal is joined by Jesus Ochoa and Brian DeNeeve Brian with MCTS.

Send us a textHow ketosis and ketogenic diets work and how these tools can improve metabolic health, brain function, and even cancer management.Topics Discussed:Organs have different fuel preferences: brain strongly prefers glucose, heart prefers fatty acids, skeletal muscle is flexible and likes fat/ketones.Humans evolved with high metabolic flexibility; regular ketosis was normal for ancestors, but today most people never experience it.“Keto flu” is largely glucose withdrawal plus electrolyte/sodium loss; proper salt and hydration prevent most symptoms.Classic medical ketogenic diet is ~90% fat (historically saturated); modern versions often use more monounsaturated fats, MCTs, and higher protein.Saturated fat is not inherently atherogenic in the context of weight stability or caloric deficit; excess calories from any source can dysregulate metabolism.Exogenous ketones (e.g. BHB) provide energy, reduce ROS, stabilize membranes, increase inhibitory tone (GABA), and have hormone-like signaling effects independent of diet.Cancer cells often show Warburg effect (damaged mitochondrial respiration → heavy reliance on glycolysis); lowering glucose and raising ketones can stress cancer cells.True keto-adaptation for athletic performance requires 6–12 weeks; after that, elite athletes can match or exceed prior high-carb performance at sub-maximal and endurance efforts.Practical Takeaways:Therapeutic carbohydrate restriction (50–100 g/day for many people) plus occasional fasting or ketone supplements can restore metabolic flexibility with far fewer side effects than strict keto.Prioritize whole-food fats (eggs, fatty fish, beef, olive oil, butter/lard) and minimize processed keto products loaded with seed oils.Supplementing BHB (salts or esters) or MCT oil can ease the transition into ketosis, boost ketones without strict dieting, and may support brain and metabolic health.Regularly check basic blood markers (glucose, lipids, electrolytes) and consider an OmegaQuant test; optimizing metabolic health is one of the strongest preventable steps against cancer, neurodegeneration, and heart disease.Supplemental Ketone (BHB):KetoCitra—Ketone body BHB with potassium, calcium & magnesium, formulated with kidney health in mind.

Stephen and Richard discuss various aspects of the carnivore diet, including the benefits of coconut water for electrolytes, the importance of MCTs, and the impact of dietary choices on health. They address common concerns such as digestive issues, hormonal changes, and the role of different meats in a carnivore diet. The discussion also covers the effects of antibiotics on gut health, the significance of community support, and the interpretation of blood markers. Additionally, they explore dietary flexibility, including the consumption of nuts and flavourings such as garlic, and conclude with insights into glucose's role in high-intensity exercise.Chapters00:00 Introduction and Travel Experiences01:00 Electrolytes and Coconut Water Benefits06:29 Carnivore Diet and Hormonal Health15:05 Meat Recommendations and Dietary Choices23:03 Antibiotics and Gut Health Concerns28:24 Understanding HbA1c and Red Blood Cell Lifespan31:38 Cholesterol Levels and Health Implications36:54 Blood Glucose Levels: What They Mean40:28 Carnivore Diet: The Role of Nuts45:59 Vitamin B1 and the Importance of Pork49:21 Garlic, Onion, and Other Additives in Diet56:19 Glucose and High-Intensity Exercise

Send us a textCurious why coconut oil can raise LDL for some people yet still show up in diets that improve metabolic health, cognition, and body composition? We get clear on what coconut oil actually is—a family of saturated fats with a rare abundance of medium-chain triglycerides—and why MCTs create ketones that the brain and mitochondria can use even without fasting. Instead of stopping at cholesterol, we look at the fuller picture: insulin resistance, inflammation, triglycerides, and real-world outcomes that drive risk more than a single lab value.We dig into the differences between MCT oil, extra-virgin coconut oil, and refined coconut oil, and when each makes sense. We compare biomarkers to hard endpoints, explain why some populations with high coconut intake have low cardiovascular disease, and explore how diet context flips the script: in a high-sugar diet, lipids can look worse; in a lower-carb, whole-food pattern, markers of metabolic syndrome often improve even if LDL nudges up. Along the way, we share insights on cooking stability, oxidative stress, and the intriguing idea that latitude and season may influence how fats signal thermogenesis and photoprotection.You'll leave with practical takeaways you can use today: how to choose between MCTs and whole coconut oil, how to integrate them into a low-sugar, nutrient-dense diet, and which labs to track beyond LDL, like ApoB, triglyceride-to-HDL ratio, hs-CRP, and fasting insulin. If you've wondered whether coconut oil is a villain or a misunderstood ally, this conversation offers a grounded, outcome-focused way to decide what fits your body and your climate.Enjoyed the conversation?

In this episode we dive into a hotly debated topic: should you eat meat or not? Ben is joined by two powerhouse guests with decades of experience in nutrition and health—Dr. Shawn Baker, best-selling author of The Carnivore Diet and leading carnivore advocate, and Joel Greene, creator of The Immunity Code and champion of dietary diversity. In this spirited debate, Dr. Baker highlights the benefits of a strict carnivore approach—meat, eggs, some dairy, and minimal plant foods—not only for himself but also for patients managing chronic health issues. He explains why animal-based nutrition can be so effective, breaks down the science of ketosis and gut health, and responds to concerns about long-term effects of fiber-free diets. Meanwhile, Joel Greene makes the case for dietary variety, drawing from evolutionary biology, clinical research, and personal experience. He explores the synergies of combining animal and plant foods, the role of fiber in gut and immune health, and the ancestral rhythms of scarcity and feasting. Joel argues that even small amounts of diverse foods can offset downsides of strict elimination diets. Dr. Baker is a physician, athlete, and author known for his straightforward, meat-focused approach to nutrition and his background in strength sports. Joel is the creator of Veep Nutrition, a program targeting gut communities to improve health, used by major employers and featured on the Dr. Phil Show. Author of The Immunity Code, Joel has devoted 50 years to health and anti-aging, pioneering practices like MCTs in the ’80s, keto in the ’90s, and AMPK activation by 2009. At 55, he remains a 100% natural athlete.

This Teamcast episode is brought to you by Harry Moffitt, MCTI Director for Australia and New Zealand. During the last NFL season, Harry had the opportunity to speak with Will Greenberg, the Buffalo Bills' Head of Performance and Strength and Conditioning (S&C). Will is a wonderful human being and a great friend of the MCTI community. He describes his journey through baseball, his passion for S&C, and the positions he held prior to the Bills, from West Point to Utah State.Will has a human-centered approach to human performance. This refreshing perspective is emerging across the field and counters the approach that can overweight outcomes and treat humans as resources to be deployed for wins, profit, and utilization. Listen to Harry & Will discuss programming now and how it might be decentralized, more multidisciplinary, and less wedded to the scientists in the future. They also cover how science and scientists, though critical to the operator, should always aid a good program, never control it, and the importance of ‘struggle' in the gym, and the concept of flow, although not as something we must conjure up, but rather as something we are always in and must fight to return to consistently. They explore the role (and reemergence) of philosophical conditioning in humans and its implications for performance as Will shares a fantastic story of "The Philosophy Booth".In a tough industry – to insiders, NFL stands for Not For Long – Will provides a uniquely relaxed perspective, with many implications for MCTs.

Cooking oils are fundamental to culinary practices worldwide, bringing unique flavor, texture, and nutritional profile. The variety of cooking oils available today is vast, ranging from traditional options like olive oil and butter to more modern choices like avocado and coconut oil. One of the most widely recognized cooking oils is olive oil, particularly extra virgin olive oil. This oil is appreciated for its rich flavor and high monounsaturated fats, which are popular and support heart health by reducing harmful cholesterol levels. Olive oil is ideal for salad dressings, low to medium-heat cooking, and drizzling over finished dishes. However, its low smoke point makes it less suitable for high-heat methods like deep-frying. In contrast, refined olive oil has a higher smoke point and can handle more heat, though it lacks the robust flavor of its extra virgin counterpart. Another popular oil is coconut oil, which has gained a reputation for its unique composition of medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs). The body metabolizes these fats differently, potentially providing a quick energy source. Coconut oil is solid at room temperature and has a distinct tropical flavor, making it a favorite in baking and sautéing. However, its high saturated fat content has sparked debate among health experts, with some cautioning against excessive consumption due to potential links to increased cholesterol levels.Oils with high smoke points are essential for high-heat cooking methods like frying. With its mild flavor and impressive smoke point, Avocado oil is an excellent choice for searing, grilling, and roasting. It is also rich in monounsaturated fats and vitamin E, contributing to its heart-healthy profile. Similarly, peanut oil, commonly used in Asian cuisine, is another high-smoke-point oil that adds a nutty flavor to stir-fries and deep-fried dishes. Its stability at high temperatures makes it a reliable option for frying.Canola oil, derived from rapeseed, is another versatile option with a neutral taste and a moderate smoke point. It is low in saturated fat and contains a precious balance of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, making it a heart-healthy choice for baking, sautéing, and frying. Conversely, butter and ghee (clarified butter) are cherished for their rich, creamy flavors. Butter is a world staple in baking and other applications and adds depth to sauces and sautéed dishes, but its high saturated fat content should be used in moderation. With its lactose and casein removed, Ghee has a higher smoke point and is suitable for higher-heat cooking. It is also a key ingredient in many traditional Indian dishes.Seed oils, such as sunflower, safflower, and grapeseed oil, are often praised for their light flavors and high smoke points. These oils are typically high in polyunsaturated fats, particularly omega-6 fatty acids. Moderation in use and consumption is key when incorporating these oils into your diet. More importantly, continue to document yourself for better options.Health considerations are paramount when choosing cooking oils. Oils high in unsaturated fats, such as olive, avocado, and canola oil, are generally considered healthier due to their potential to improve cholesterol levels and drastically reduce The risk of heart disease. Trans fats, primarily found in partially hydrogenated oils, are particularly harmful and should be avoided altogether. They are linked to increased risks of heart disease and other chronic conditions. In addition to health, the environmental impact of oil production is an essential factor to consider. Palm oil, for instance, is widely used in processed foods and has a high smoke point, but its selection and production are often associated with deforestation and habitat destruction. Opting for sustainably sourced palm oil or alternative oils can help mitigate these tragic environmental concerns.Read the Complete text here.

Understanding Fat Oxidation and How to Improve It for Endurance Athletes In this episode, we dive into the critical role of fat oxidation for endurance athletes and explore practical strategies to enhance it. We also feature insights from Dr. Dan Plews of ENDURE IQ, a renowned expert in sports science and endurance training. What is Fat Oxidation? Fat oxidation is the process by which the body breaks down fats for energy. For endurance athletes, improving fat oxidation is crucial as it allows the body to rely on fat for fuel during prolonged exercise, sparing glycogen and enhancing performance. Key Points on Improving Fat Oxidation: Train at the Right Intensity: Incorporate low-intensity sessions (zone 2 peak fat max) to improve fat utilization. Increase Mitochondrial Density: Regular aerobic training boosts the body's ability to oxidize fat by increasing mitochondria in muscle cells. Utilize Specific Fueling Strategies: Experiment with fat-based fuels like medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) to promote fat metabolism during training. Periodization of Training: Combine high-intensity and low-intensity sessions to improve metabolic flexibility. Nutrition Adjustments: Focus on a balanced diet that promotes fat metabolism, with adequate healthy fats and nutrient-dense foods. Hydration and Electrolyte Balance: Maintain proper hydration and electrolyte levels to support metabolic functions, including fat oxidation. Monitor and Adjust: Use metabolic testing to track fat oxidation rates and adjust training and nutrition based on performance data. Dr. Dan Plews & ENDURE IQ's Approach to Fat Adaptation: Dr. Plews highlights the importance of structured training and nutrition strategies to optimize fat oxidation. The ENDURE IQ 101 course includes phases like: Fat Oxidation Base Training  Incorporating fat-burning intervals Fueling experiments  Monitoring performance with tools like metabolic testing By focusing on individualized approaches and periodized training, athletes can enhance fat oxidation, metabolic flexibility, and overall endurance performance. Mentioned in This Episode: Dr. Dan Plews, researcher and coach at ENDURE IQ ENDURE IQ 101 Course for improving fat oxidation and fat adaptation in endurance athletes Listen to the full episode for a deep dive into the science behind fat oxidation and actionable tips to fuel your next race!  Check out the YouTube Channel for many videos on how to fuel and train as an endurance athlete here.

In this episode with repeat guest Joel Greene, you'll get to explore a unique dietary pattern inspired by nature's rhythms—foraging, fasting, and feasting. Joel introduces a powerful two-day cycle that mirrors ancient eating habits, alternating between foraging and an "amplified fast" to optimize body renewal. Along the way, you'll discover how this method boosts GLP-1 for appetite control and balances nutrient intake with smart food pairings. Plus, Joel shares tips on using pre-dinner shakes, resistant starches, and even cold plunges to enhance satiety, fitness, and overall health, while highlighting the crucial role of nitric oxide and a healthy microbiome. Joel is the creator of Veep Nutrition, the world's first commercially available program based on targeting gut communities to affect health and body composition. His system has been used by some of the nation's largest employers, including major cities and hospitals and featured on Dr. Phil Show storylines. He is the author of The Immunity Code: The New Paradigm for Real Health and Radical Anti-Aging. Joel has devoted over 50 years to the pursuit of health, nutrition and anti-aging. He was training with intervals in the 1970s, taking MCTs in the late '80s, following keto in the early '90s, and targeting AMPK by 2009. At age 55, he is a 100 percent natural athlete and uses no ergogenic aids while working out (on average once per week) and eats whatever whenever. Get ready for a rich and informative episode that rethinks modern dietary practices by embracing ancestral wisdom and cutting-edge science.

Episode 2676: Tammy's concern about whether MCT oil raises cholesterol is addressed by explaining that MCTs, derived from processed coconut or palm oil, do not increase blood cholesterol levels according to meta-analyses. In contrast, unprocessed coconut or palm oil, which contains long-chain triglycerides, can raise LDL cholesterol. The importance of choosing high-quality MCT oil supplements and consulting with a doctor is also emphasized. Quotes to ponder: “MCT oil supplements do not seem to raise our blood cholesterol levels.” “Saturated fats, like coconut oil and palm oil, do tend to increase blood cholesterol levels, specifically the 'bad' type of cholesterol - LDL cholesterol.” “Medium-chain triglycerides, because they're smaller, don't take as long to get absorbed by the body.” Episode references: USP: https://www.usp.org Labdoor: https://labdoor.com ConsumerLab: https://www.consumerlab.com NSF: https://www.nsf.org Learn more about your ad choices.

This episode is brought to you by Onnit. I wanted to share something with you that's the result of a couple of studies looking at how a certain fat can actually help to burn fat. A randomized double-blind study published in the International Journal of Obesity and Related Metabolic Disorders placed participants on a reduced calorie diet that included either supplemental MCTs, medium chain triglycerides, or supplemental long-chain triglycerides, or LCTs. After the data was compiled, it was revealed that the group who included MCT oil lost more weight, eliminated more body fat, and experienced higher levels of satiety. Again, same calorie-restricted diet, but adding in the MCTs led to more fat loss. Another study, this was cited in the International Journal of Obesity and Related Metabolic Disorders as well as a separate study. And this revealed that MCTs are able to boost oxidation of stored fat while increasing our satiety at the same time, so burning fat while we're still feeling satisfied. Now here's why this matters. The study also noted that MCTs enabled study participants to retain more of their muscle mass during the weight loss process. So this was supportive of not just weight loss but actual fat loss and retention of our lean tissue. There's something special about MCT oil, but as with everything today, the sourcing is critically important. This is pretty much a daily thing for me, having some MCT oil included somewhere in my nutrition protocol, whether it's blended into a tea or coffee or a smoothie or a salad dressing, there are so many different ways to utilize MCTs, but where you get it from truly does matter. We have to make sure that we're getting our MCT oil from companies that have integrity, that have high-quality sourcing, and also avoiding a lot of toxicants that come along with a lot of supplements today. For my MCT oil, I'm getting it from Onnit. Onnit is a premier human-performance company. And when you go to onnit.com/model, you get 10% off their incredible MCT oil. That's onnit.com/model, you get 10% off their MCT oil and all of their health and human-performance supplements and foods. All right? Huge fan of Onnit, it's a staple in my superfood cabinet.

Numerous studies, including a study published by the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology, AKA, the FASEB Journal, have found that exogenous ketones can be up to 28% more efficient in generating energy than glucose alone, and because of this, something that... Listen, there are so many different supplements that are out there on the market, very few things do you experience a change the first day. Now, this isn't true for everybody, but for me, this was the case, I was shocked. I actually took time stepping away from everything else that I was doing as far as supplementation around training, gave myself a break, and then did this with a lot of focus and intention to see, Hey, what are the kind of results that I could see by utilizing Ketone-IQ? And I was really just blown away. My stamina was significantly increased, but more so, my recovery afterwards, it was really impressive. I just felt like I could do so much more than I normally do. And I'm somebody who really prides myself on being a high performer and being able to really challenge my limits and do exceptional things. And so to do what I was typically doing and then have energy left in the tank, I was just like, "Wow, this is something special, I need to tell more people about this." So right now, you can head over to hvmn.com/model, and they're going to give you 30% off of your first subscription order, it'll be taken off automatically at checkout.

I've got some very bad news for you about vitamin C supplements. Most people have no idea that typical vitamin C supplements are made from corn syrup or corn starch derived from GMO crops. The synthetic ascorbic acid found in most vitamin C supplements is structurally similar to naturally-derived whole-food sources of vitamin C, but they are not the same thing. Whole food and whole-food concentrates of vitamin C have hundreds of other bioactive cofactors that make vitamin C work miraculously in our bodies, while synthetic vitamin C is the very definition of a one-trick pony. In fact, by being devoid of essential cofactors, synthetic vitamin C supplements can be outright harmful to your health. For instance, a 2013 study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association Internal Medicine found that participants taking synthetic vitamin C supplements had twice the risk of developing kidney stones. Another study, the researchers at USC found that a daily dose of synthetic vitamin C thickened the walls of participants' arteries two and a half times faster than those not taking the synthetic supplement. This is absolutely insane because, number one, it's one of the most popular standalone supplements in the world and commonly found in most multivitamins. Number two, whole-food based, whole-food concentrates of real vitamin C are remarkably effective in lowering the risk of cardiovascular disease, even in people engaged in high-risk behaviors like smoking. A randomized placebo-controlled study published in the Journal of Cardiology had 20 smokers consume a whole-food concentrated vitamin C in the form of camu camu berry over the course of a one-week study. And it led to significantly lowered oxidative stress and lowered inflammatory biomarkers. What's more? There were no changes in these markers in the placebo group who received an ordinary synthetic vitamin C supplement. Because of the damage humans have done to the soil microbiome, levels of vitamin C are notably lower in typical foods. That's why I have been utilizing a whole-food vitamin C concentrate blend of camu camu berry, acerola cherry, and amla berry for years, and I'm on a mission to spread awareness about this and get people off synthetic vitamin C supplements. The essential C complex from Paleovalley is all organic, no synthetic ingredients and no fillers, plus it has a 60-day 100% moneyback guarantee, so if you aren't absolutely thrilled with it, you'll receive a full refund, no questions asked.
