Episode 3307: Kate Galliett reveals that muscle cramps are less about salt and hydration and more about your nervous system's unfamiliarity with certain movements. By training your body to explore new ranges and improve mind-muscle communication, you can reduce cramping, build resilience, and move with more freedom. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://fitforreallife.substack.com/p/why-do-muscle-cramps-happen Quotes to ponder: "You cramp because your brain and body aren't communicating well yet. And you can change that." "You must teach your nervous system how to better communicate with your tissues." "It's very likely that in the bed scenario, your foot was already pointed forward in plantarflexion, shortening the muscles on the bottom of your foot." Learn more about your ad choices.

Heart attacks occur every 40 seconds in America, affecting a total of 805,000 people annually. It is characterized by blocked coronary arteries that starve cardiac muscle of blood flow Australian researchers found human hearts can regenerate muscle cells after heart attacks, with preserved cardiac tissue showing 7% to 8% mitosis rates (a measure of cell regeneration activity), though 25% to 50% is needed for full repair Hypoxia, which is the oxygen-deprived state during heart attacks, may also trigger regeneration, similar to how fetal hearts produce new cells in the low-oxygen womb environment Advanced heart failure reduces heart muscle cell renewal dramatically, but patients with mechanical heart pumps showed regeneration rates of 3.1% annually — six times higher than healthy hearts Prevention remains crucial. Strategies such as minimizing linoleic acid consumption, monitoring body fat percentage, engaging in moderate resistance training, and learning to recognize heart attack warning signs increase outcomes

Why is belly fat always the last to go? If you feel like your arms, legs, and back lean out… but your stomach refuses to budge, you're not imagining it. And you're not broken. In this episode, Kim breaks down the hormonal reality of fat storage after 35 and why dieting harder is usually the wrong answer. You'll learn: • Why women in perimenopause and menopause store fat around the middle • What “androgen body type” actually means • Why belly fat is hormonally protected • The biggest mistake women make chasing abs • Why GLP-1s can stall without strength training • How muscle changes your metabolism • Why time and consistency beat shortcuts every time Kim also shares her personal story of dieting down to extremely low body fat and still not having abs — and what finally changed everything after three years of focused muscle building. If you want abs after 35, a better metabolism, lower inflammation, and lasting fat loss, this is the conversation you need to hear. There are no magic tricks. There is muscle. There is time. And there is consistency. Follow Kim for more real talk and weekly education:

Host Erin Kerry sits down with naturopathic physician, bodyworker, former dancer, and “Frequent Feeler” Dr. Jenn Rapkin to explore why so many of us struggle to feel our feelings—and how reconnecting with the body can completely transform emotional and physical health. Drawing from more than 25 years of mind-body work and her new book The Feeling Muscle, Jenn explains the cultural stigma around emotions, the four common forms of emotional avoidance, and why the body often carries what the mind refuses to process. Erin and Jenn unpack everything from grief and distraction to parenting “frequent feelers,” the difference between rumination and true emotional presence, and practical ways to build emotional resilience. Whether you're a parent, a healer, a highly sensitive person, or someone who's spent years pushing feelings down, this conversation offers compassionate, nonjudgmental tools for befriending difficult emotions, expanding your emotional capacity, and healing from the inside out. Key Topics: - What it means to be a “Frequent Feeler” - Why emotions get suppressed—and the cost to the body - Jenn's four categories of emotional avoidance - Rumination vs. body-centered awareness - How emotional retreat shows up physiologically - Practical tools for sitting with discomfort - Parenting strategies for kids with big emotions - How to break familiar emotional narratives - Micro-practices for building emotional resilience - The role of art, movement, and bodywork in processing feelings - How suppression impacts relationships and nervous system health Book: The Feeling Muscle Website: drjennrapkin.com Instagram: @drjennrapkin Join Erin's monthly mailing list to get health tips and fresh meal plans and recipes every month: https://mailchi.mp/adde1b3a4af3/monthlysparksignup Order Erin's new book, Live Beyond Your Label, at erinbkerry.com/upcomingbook/

Dr. Mark Tarnopolsky's VO2 max was once 87.6 ml/kg/min — an elite-level mark few humans have reached. He's competed at three world championships in three different sports. He's also had three cardiac ablation surgeries, bled from his bowels after races, and watched his vision tunnel to a speck crossing a finish line. His story is a master class in where the line falls between peak performance and self-destruction.Now 63, Tarnopolsky is a neurologist, neuromuscular disease specialist, and supplement formulator who has channeled decades of elite athletic experience and hundreds of published studies into the idea that keeping metabolic throughput high is what protects us as we age.In this conversation with Dom D'Agostino, he shares practical strategies anyone can apply: why resistance training three times per week is non-negotiable after 50, why post-exercise nutrient timing improved performance in a simulated training camp with identical calories, why he says creatine belongs in nearly everyone's regimen, and why he personally takes his mitochondrial supplement stack situationally after hard efforts rather than daily.Questions Answered in This Episode:What is the only intervention proven to extend human lifespan — and by how much?At what point does endurance exercise become pro-aging — and what are the warning signs?What simple nutrient timing strategy improved performance with zero extra calories?How did a bodybuilder bar conversation lead to a published discovery about growth hormone and collagen?What muscle and bone costs of Ozempic aren't getting enough attention?Why did elite endurance athletes need nearly as much dietary protein as bodybuilders — and why were bodybuilders massively overconsuming?This conversation reframes the longevity debate around what's actually been proven in human clinical trials — not Petri dishes, not animal models, and not social media influencers.Special thanks to the sponsors of this episode:✅ Troscriptions – Get 10% off your first order with code METABOLICLINK here.✅ 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 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.

If your workouts feel harder than they used to… If your recovery takes longer… If your brain feels foggier after a stressful day… You need to hear this. It's not about motivation. It's not about discipline. And it's not because you're "getting older." In this episode, Dr. Mindy breaks down a shift that almost no one explains to women: Estrogen stimulates creatine production. And when estrogen declines in perimenopause and menopause, creatine can decline too. Creatine isn't just a gym supplement. It's critical for cellular energy. It helps recycle ATP, the fuel your muscles and brain run on. When ATP drops, strength, recovery, and mental clarity can shift with it. This conversation will change how you think about midlife performance. In this episode, you'll learn: What creatine actually does inside the female body Why creatine matters more after 40 The connection between estrogen, ATP, and muscle strength How creatine supports brain energy and stress resilience What the research says about safety and dosing Who should consider creatine, and who shouldn't How to support strength long term through physiology, not willpower If you're lifting heavier but building less muscle… If your brain feels slower under pressure… If you've been blaming yourself for feeling "off"… Bookmark this episode. Share it with a friend who's navigating perimenopause or menopause. Because when you understand your biology, you stop fighting your body.

Fasted training is one of the most persistent fat-loss myths—and in this episode, Dr. Katie Hirsch breaks down what actually matters for women: training quality, muscle preservation, and metabolic health. We unpack why "burning more fat during a workout" is often the wrong target, and how a small amount of protein (or EAAs) before training can change perceived exertion, improve workout output, and potentially increase post-workout energy expenditure—especially in women who are prone to under-fueling. We also dive into muscle quality (not just muscle size), why it matters for insulin sensitivity and body composition, and what changes in peri/post-menopause can mean for amino acid delivery to muscle—and how to train and eat to stay lean, strong, and metabolically resilient.

If you're in midlife and suddenly feel like fat loss has become harder overnight, despite training, eating well, and doing what used to work, this episode is for you. Today I'm joined by Bill Campbell, PhD to unpack what the research actually shows about menopause, body composition, and “weight loss resistance”. We explore why some women gain body fat during this transition while others don't, why hormone therapy isn't a guaranteed fix, and the small but powerful lifestyle factors (movement, sleep, protein) that can quietly shift results. This is a practical, evidence-based conversation for women who lift, care about their health, and want clarity; not clichés. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN • Why menopause-related fat gain doesn't happen to everyone • The 2–3 year window where body fat gain seems most likely • Why hormone therapy helps some women but not others • How daily movement (NEAT) drops in midlife without you noticing • The difference between training for muscle vs strength • Why lifting shouldn't be treated as “calorie-burning cardio” • How much protein is actually supported by research (and why many women under-eat it) • Why poor sleep can create real weight-loss resistance • Whether fasted training makes any difference for body composition TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 Menopause Weight Gain: Why It Happens to Some Women (But Not All) 03:41 Can Hormone Therapy Reverse Menopause Weight Gain? 10:23 DEXA vs InBody in Midlife: What My Results Revealed (And Why It Matters) 15:29 What Is the Final Menstrual Period (FMP) & When Is Fat Gain Most Likely? 20:46 Midlife Fat Gain & NEAT: The Activity Decline No One Notices 25:29 “I Just Have a Slow Metabolism” — Is Body Type to Blame? 28:02 Should You Lift Heavy or Light?

If you're over 45 and training consistently but noticing slower recovery, softer body composition, or declining strength — this episode is for you. In this deep-dive rabbit hole conversation, Debbie breaks down the real science of Muscle Protein Synthesis (MPS) and why protein distribution — not just total protein — becomes critical in midlife. You'll learn why 20–30 grams of protein often isn't enough anymore, why adults 45+ may need 3–4 grams of leucine per meal to fully activate mTOR signaling, and how anabolic resistance changes the muscle-building equation for both men and women. We also explore AMPK vs mTOR balance, chronic fasting and endurance training effects, insulin resistance, stress-driven cortisol interference, and how PNOĒ metabolic testing and genetic insights can personalize your muscle-building strategy. Midlife isn't decline — it's a threshold shift. When you understand the signaling, you can train smarter, fuel intentionally, and protect your metabolism for decades to come.

OVERVIEW: In this episode, Ashley welcomes Healthy Emmie, a nutritionist and holistic health coach, to discuss sustainable weight loss, particularly for women navigating perimenopause and menopause. Emmie shares her journey from being a teacher to a health coach, emphasizing the importance of whole foods and strength training. The conversation highlights the significance of mindset, commitment, and finding a deeper 'why' for health goals. They explore the pitfalls of quick fixes and the necessity of lifestyle changes for long-term health and wellness. Takeaways Emmie's journey from teaching to health coaching was driven by her passion for wellness. Sustainable weight loss is about simplicity and understanding basic nutrition. Whole foods are essential for long-term health and weight management. Stress and rigidity around dieting can hinder weight loss efforts. Strength training is crucial for women, especially as they age. Finding a deeper 'why' is essential for lasting motivation. Quick fixes often lead to rebound weight gain and frustration. Lifestyle changes should be gradual and manageable for success. Mindset and commitment are key to achieving health goals. Investing time in food preparation is vital for maintaining a healthy diet.

You're taking 600 IU of vitamin D.Your labs say “normal.”But you could still be deficient. In this episode, Ben reveals why the official vitamin D recommendations were based on preventing rickets, not optimizing immunity, metabolism, muscle, or brain health. Independent researchers reanalyzed the original RDA data and found the required intake for adequacy was dramatically higher — yet the guidelines barely changed. Vitamin D is not just a vitamin. It functions like a steroid hormone and impacts: Immune regulation Inflammation control Insulin sensitivity Muscle protein synthesis Brain function Low vitamin D is strongly associated with insulin resistance, and since 93% of Americans are insulin resistant, this could be a massive blind spot. Ben also explains: Why “normal” lab ranges may still mean deficiency Why optimal levels should be above 60 ng/mL How obesity lowers circulating vitamin D Why magnesium and vitamin K2 are required for proper activation Why toxicity fears are overblown compared to widespread insufficiency You'll also learn the simple 3-step plan to optimize vitamin D safely: Smart midday sun exposure Intelligent supplementation with D3 + K2 + magnesium Regular testing and cofactor support If you're over 45, insulin resistant, or struggling with stubborn inflammation, this episode could be a game changer. You don't have a weak immune system.You may just have an under-supported one.

We live in a time where influencers constantly promote extreme leanness as the standard. Perfect lighting. Perfect pumps. “What I eat in a day” at 1,800 calories. But what you're not seeing? The hormonal stress, the food obsession, the low energy, the poor sleep, and the fact that most of those physiques aren't maintained year-round or naturally.In this episode, I break down:Why staying ultra lean can tank performance, recovery, and hormonesThe psychological cost of constantly dietingThe difference between photoshoot lean and sustainable leanWhy most influencers aren't telling you the full story about how they dietThe hard truth about recomping at maintenance when you're already leanIf you're sitting at maintenance hoping to build muscle and lose fat at the same time, I explain why that works for beginners but not for advanced lifters with low body fat. Muscle requires a surplus. Fat loss requires a deficit. Maintenance is exactly what it sounds like: maintenance.This episode is a reality check not to discourage you, but to free you. Progress requires phases. Intentional bulks. Intentional cuts. And understanding that being shredded year-round isn't the flex social media makes it seem.If you've been afraid to gain weight to grow… or frustrated that your “recomp” isn't working this one's for you.Want to learn more about coaching?Apply for coaching nicole@nicoleferrierfitness.com

Drawing on connected strength data from thousands of members, this conversation examines a surprising insight — in many cases, 60-year-olds are matching or outperforming 30-year-olds in relative strength gains. The difference isn't age. It's consistency, progressive overload, and measurable outcomes. As the industry shifts from aesthetics and performance toward healthspan and preventative health, the discussion explores what truly matters as we age. From muscle mass and maximal strength to power and velocity, Troy explains why lower-body power may be one of the most important predictors of long-term resilience, fall prevention, and independence. The episode also explores minimal effective dose training, advanced tools like eccentric overload, and the growing role of connected strength technology. For operators, this conversation challenges traditional KPIs such as check-ins and time-in-gym, making the case for tracking strength progression and real outcomes instead. This episode moves beyond trends to examine what fitness operators, brands, and leaders should prioritise if the goal is not just participation — but measurable progress and long-term health impact. In this episode, we cover: • Why older members often outperform younger ones in relative strength gains • The real driver of progress: consistency and progressive overload • Why strength is becoming foundational for longevity • Muscle vs strength vs power — and why power matters most as we age • Minimal effective dose training and why 20–35 minutes works • Why lower-body power is critical for healthspan and fall prevention • Why operators must shift from tracking visits to tracking outcomes

This audio overview, titled "Under the Hood: Mapping Muscle Fiber Utilization to Training Zones" is a deep-dive overview where we explore the physiological anchors that define the QT2.0 training system. Rather than focusing on arbitrary percentages, we examine how Critical Power (CP) and Critical Speed (CS) serve as the definitive asymptote and boundary between physiological stability and instability.   We break down the transition of energy systems from the steady-state recruitment of Type I (slow-twitch) muscle fibers in Z1 to the Type IIA Oxidative and Type IIA Glycolytic fiber recruitment that characterizes the move through Tempo (Z2) and Threshold (Z3).   Finally, we look at what happens when you "raise the roof," moving into maximal aerobic intensities that recruit Type IIX fibers and draw from your finite anaerobic tank, known as W′ or D′.   Discover how understanding these internal shifts allows you to move beyond "no-man's-land" training and toward a truly deliberate and intentional approach to performance.   *This audio overview is AI-generated off of QT2 Systems' knowledge-base of source materials.

In this episode, Dr. Jockers dives into the truth about protein powders, revealing their impact on your metabolism and insulin levels. You'll learn how different protein powders can affect your body's ability to process them and whether they align with your health goals.   Discover why whey protein stands out as the best choice for muscle building due to its high leucine content. Dr. Jockers explains the role of leucine in muscle protein synthesis and how to choose the right protein powder for optimal results.   You'll also explore the pros and cons of plant-based proteins and collagen, along with their specific benefits for gut health, skin, and joints. Dr. Jockers shares why these options may be beneficial for certain health goals while comparing them to animal-based proteins.

Message me with comments or questionsOn this episode of the Breakthrough Emotional Eating Podcast, we're talking about something so many women need to hear—and trust me, this is one you do not want to miss.Ever chased “skinny” only to feel hungry, stressed, and stuck? I sit down with coach Katy Downey to trade diet drama for a smarter, kinder approach to building a strong, lean body—without obsession or burnout.Katy opens up about her years on the fad-diet carousel—low fat, no fat, chasing a thigh gap—and how a health scare forced her to finally understand protein, carbs, and fats as tools, not enemies. Her approach blends short-term macro tracking for education with a long-term goal of intuitive eating, so food becomes simple again.We dive into what really moves the needle after 35: progressive strength training and consistent nutrition. Not random high-energy classes. Not exhaustion. Intentional lifting that builds muscle, protects metabolism, and boosts confidence. You'll hear a powerful client story of shifting from six to eight weekly classes to focused strength training, daily walks, and balanced meals—leading to 20 pounds lost and a visible transformation in both body and self-belief.We also reframe the scale (because those five-pound daily swings are completely normal) and share practical strategies you can use immediately—how to hit protein goals, portion without obsession, know when to track and when to let go, and build routines that actually survive real life.If you're ready to stop guessing and start progressing—with strength, clarity, and sustainability—press play. This episode of the Breakthrough Emotional Eating Podcast is packed with perspective shifts and practical tools that could completely change how you approach your body and your goals.If you would like to connect with Katy, follow her on Instagram @the_kdfit, and check out her website: https://www.kd-fit.com/ and sign up for her next program starting in early March, Hustle and Muscle.Connect with me online:1.

Ever wonder why “normal” lab results still leave you feeling flat, foggy, and stuck? We dig into a smarter path with John Goldman, founder of Rebel Health Alliance, and unpack how proactive care—rooted in data and daily habits—can pull you off the slow slide toward metabolic disease and back into high performance living. This is a conversation about building a stronger engine and a more resilient body, not chasing quick fixes.John shares the pivotal tests that change the game: DNA analysis to understand nutrient handling and risk, DEXA to expose visceral fat and lean mass, VO2 max to measure cardiorespiratory fitness, and cardiac imaging to benchmark true heart risk. From there, we get practical. Muscle and VO2 max aren't gym buzzwords; they're the strongest predictors of longevity. We break down how resistance training and conditioning restore insulin sensitivity, reduce systemic inflammation, and dramatically cut all-cause mortality. We also get honest about ultra-processed foods, excess calories, and the “food noise” that keeps you snacking.We tackle the GLP-1 wave with nuance. Used with medical guidance, enough protein, and a lifting plan, these medications can curb cravings, lower inflammation, and accelerate fat loss. Used alone, they risk muscle loss and rebound. We then contrast rushed primary care with an aligned model that gives you time, access, and incentives that favor real results—plus thoughtful hormone optimization for men and women that targets energy, body composition, mood, and cognition without relying on imprecise pellets.If you're ready to replace guesswork with a plan—and trade “fine” for focused, lean, and clear—this is your blueprint. Subscribe, share this episode with someone who needs a reset, and leave a review telling us the first habit you'll change this week. ---Welcome to The Brad Weisman Show, where we dive into the world of real estate, real life, and everything in between with your host, Brad Weisman!

In this episode, Ben breaks down a powerful comparison study of the most popular diet styles and reveals the one approach that preserved muscle, lowered insulin, and accelerated fat loss. What You'll Learn: Why low-fat, calorie restriction, plant-based low protein, and low-protein keto diets fail long-term The real reason fat loss gets harder over 40 Why protein signaling — not calories — determines metabolic success How muscle loss silently slows your metabolism The difference between losing weight and losing fat The Winning Strategy: Strategic fasting + protein cycling 18-hour daily fast 6-hour eating window 1 gram of protein per pound of ideal body weight Focus on high-quality, digestible protein This approach: Preserves lean muscle Lowers insulin Burns visceral fat Protects metabolism Key Takeaway: Your body isn't broken.It's responding to the signals you give it. When you combine fasting with proper protein intake, fat loss stops being a fight — and becomes a natural response.

Achieving optimal health isn't about white-knuckling a restrictive diet or chasing the latest quick-fix trend. Benjamin Brown, founder of Body Systems, advocates for a personalized "Operating System" that integrates strength, cardiovascular health, and sustainable habits. This shift moves you away from short-term hacks and toward a lifelong trajectory of wellness. Rethinking the Purpose of Exercise One of the most pervasive myths is that exercise is primarily a tool for weight loss. Treating the gym as a penalty for what you ate often leads to burnout and a broken relationship with fitness. True transformation requires expanding your time horizon and moving away from an all-or-nothing mindset. The 5M Fat Loss Framework To change body composition, you must balance physical efforts with internal health. This framework focuses on Mindset, Meals, Movement, Muscle, and Metabolism to build a metabolic engine. Strength training is a non-negotiable part of this process, supporting metabolic health and long-term sustainability. Data Over Emotion Building a "PrimeFitOS" involves leveraging objective metrics like blood work and wearable data from devices like Oura or Whoop. These insights allow you to make informed decisions rather than emotional ones based on the scale. Success is often found in the malleable middle ground where consistency beats perfection. Scheduling Your Success Health is a logistical challenge that must be reflected in your daily schedule. If your health is a priority, your calendar should show consistent sleep and activity routines. By "bookending the day" with steady habits, you ensure the energy needed to show up as your best self. In this podcast you will discover... Why treating the gym as a punishment for food is a recipe for burnout. The 5M Fat Loss Framework: Mindset, Meals, Movement, Muscle, and Metabolism. How to use objective data and wearables to make informed health decisions. The importance of the "malleable middle" and ditching the dogma of perfection. Why your calendar is the ultimate reflection of your true health priorities. How to "bookend your day" to maintain peak energy and self-belief.   EPISODE RESOURCES: Free 30-Day Reset Website Instagram YouTube Facebook

Caffeine, Polyphenols, and Smarter Training Volume: Total Reps, Fatigue, and Performance On this Valentine's Day episode of Iron Radio, hosts Coach Phil Stevens, Dr. Mike T. Nelson, and Dr. Lonnie Lowery discuss authenticity in sports nutrition communication, then review an editorial in Current Developments in Nutrition (Buckley et al., with Stu Phillips as senior author) highlighting that “proper” nutrition varies by sport demands. They summarize research in the special issue on athletic performance: four papers on caffeine/coffee showing improvements across aerobic and anaerobic outcomes (power output, time to exhaustion, vertical jump, sprint performance, post-activation performance enhancement), reduced perceived fatigue, and possible benefits to hand-eye coordination, with one paper suggesting ~3 mg/kg may be sufficient versus higher dosing. They also note mixed findings on polyphenols/anthocyanins (including black currant data showing more support for recovery than performance) and mention continued creatine coverage amid ongoing misinformation.  After show/network announcements (updated podcast feed via the Iron Radio Nutrition Radio Network, Mike Nelson's free daily newsletter, and Lonnie Lowry's upcoming 2025/2026 second edition book Dietary Supplements in Sports Performance), the conversation shifts to training prescription. Phil explains programming volume via total rep targets (e.g., 30 reps) instead of fixed set/rep schemes to manage good and bad days, emphasize perfect form, and allow flexibility through “buy ups/buy outs,” including leaving the gym on days when submaximal work isn't there. The hosts discuss practical considerations like rest periods, avoiding turning the weight room into conditioning for athletes, tailoring density/rest to sport demands (powerlifting vs field sports), and coordinating training load to prevent staleness and excessive fatigue. They also address hybrid/CrossFit-style programming pitfalls, the need for purposeful periodization and strength development, and how total-dose training can help older lifters maintain muscle while managing joint stress, while still recognizing times when pushing sets is appropriate. 00:00 Welcome to Iron Radio + Hosts Introductions (Valentine's Day Episode) 01:03 Authenticity vs ‘Boring Experts' in Sports Nutrition Communication 02:38 Today's Agenda: New Sports Nutrition Editorial + Training Volume Flexibility 04:28 Research Roundup: Caffeine/Coffee Performance Effects (Dose, Fatigue, Coordination) 08:42 Polyphenols/Anthocyanins & Creatine: Mixed Evidence and Practical Takeaways 09:55 Network Updates, Newsletter, and Upcoming Supplements Book Promo Break 13:16 Training by Total Reps: Auto-Regulating Volume on Good vs Bad Days 18:36 Quality Reps, Rest Flexibility, and Sport-Specific Density (Strength vs Conditioning) 22:33 Strength Work vs. Conditioning: Safer Training and Better Reps 22:57 Coaching Coordination, Fatigue, and the Power of a Taper 23:51 When Coaches Misread Staleness: ‘Run More' and Other Late-Season Mistakes 24:41 Programming Hybrid Athletes: Separate Strength, Conditioning, and Simulation 26:51 Periodization 101: Stop Chasing Three Rabbits 27:26 CrossFit Reality Check: Winners Get Strong (Not Just ‘WOD of the Day') 29:13 What Takes Years: Max Strength and Muscle vs. Quick Aerobic Gains 30:26 Training as You Age: ‘Total Dose' to Maintain Muscle and Progress 33:00 Coming Back for a Meet: Build Back Smart and Don't Rush the Load 34:14 Progression Model + Wrap-Up and Safety Disclaimer Donate to the show via PayPal HERE.You can also join Dr Mike's Insider Newsletter for more info on how to add muscle, improve your performance and body comp - all without destroying your health, go to www.ironradiodrmike.com Thank you!Phil, Jerrell, Mike T, and Lonnie

In this episode, I sit down with neuroscientist Dr. Louisa Nicola to unpack what women actually need to know about Alzheimer's risk, cognitive decline, and long term brain protection. We break down APOE genetics, advanced blood biomarkers that can now detect amyloid and tau with remarkable accuracy, and why brain health is inseparable from metabolic health. Louisa explains how muscle acts as a metabolic sink for glucose, why resistance training and high intensity intervals stimulate BDNF, and how sleep drives the glymphatic system to clear amyloid from the brain.

In Episode 227 of Walk Talk Listen, Maurice talks with Jacco van Sterkenburg, Associate & Endowed Professor of Race, Inclusion & Communication at Erasmus University Rotterdam and newly appointed Chief Diversity Officer of the university. His research spans how media, sport, and gaming shape cultural narratives about race, ethnicity, gender, and leadership.   Jacco's work draws on decades of scholarship — from his PhD on race, ethnicity, and the sport media to recent projects on video gaming, gender, and football representation. It sits at the intersection of cultural studies, psychology, and media analysis.   In this conversation, he reflects on what it means to be “inside” and “outside” dominant norms, and how seemingly neutral spaces like games or sports broadcasts are sites of meaning-making. He talks candidly about how easy it is, especially for white researchers, to “go with the flow” without questioning assumptions — and why developing racial consciousness is like training a muscle.   Whether you're interested in media, culture, sport, or leadership, this episode invites you to rethink the familiar and practice deeper awareness.   Listener Engagement: Discover the songs picked by Jacco and other guests on our #walktalklisten here.

Aging is inevitable. Being misled about it isn't.In this episode of Plastic Surgery Uncensored, Dr. Rady Rahban breaks down the true biology of aging — and why it's far more complex than just “wrinkles.” Collagen and elastin decline. Fat shifts and disappears. Bone resorbs. Muscle thins. Circulation changes. Then you layer in sun exposure, stress, lifestyle, and genetics. Aging isn't one event — it's a cascade happening simultaneously.Dr. Rahban explains what can realistically slow the process — SPF, medical-grade skincare, retinoids, properly used Botox, disciplined lifestyle choices — and what's mostly marketing noise. He also dives into filler misuse, overpromised devices, social media illusions, and why “doing more” often makes people look worse, not better. Most importantly, he answers the question everyone eventually asks: When is it actually time to consider surgery?This episode is the foundation.

Episode 2763- Vinnie Tortorich and Anna Vocino discuss the adverse effects of GLP-1s, the dangers of muscle loss, and whether more fiber is necessary. https://vinnietortorich.com/2026/02/dangers-of-muscle-loss-episode-2763 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods VILLA CAPPELLI EAT HAPPY KITCHEN YOU CAN WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE - @FitnessConfidential Podcast Vinnie's workout videos are available to purchase!

(8:00) This relates to GLP-1 in the fact that there is nothing you can do that doesn't cause a consequence somewhere else. (11:30) Vinnie discusses dealing with his second bout of cancer a couple of years ago. He is determined to be as active and healthy as possible. Eating strict NSNG seems to have helped him fight cancer more than if he had not been eating clean. (12:00) If you lose weight the old-fashioned way through proper eating, about 20-25% of your weight loss will be muscle. (16:00) However, that can be offset with exercise, particularly strength training. With GLP-1, a person will lose at least 40% of their muscle mass. (17:00) This matters because a lack of muscle contributes to all-cause mortality, and you can die sooner. Sarcopenia (natural muscle loss) occurs with age, typically starting around age 35, but it can be significantly slowed with strength training. (18:00) The number one drug Vinnie used to get asked about was statins, but now it's about GLP-1s. (21:00) If a person is losing a lot of muscle on GLP-1s, you can bet it's affecting their heart, because the heart is muscle. (25:00) Anna shares some info she's heard recently regarding Dr. Ben Bikman. (27:30) Some Thoughts About Fiber There is also debate about fiber. (36:00) They discuss myths about fiber and whether it is as necessary as others have claimed. Anna shares a story that makes her super happy about her cookbooks. (46:00) Vinnie is trying a week off from eating cheese, but he's wrapping up the week with Anna's Cheese Bites for the Super Bowl. (48:30) They conclude the episode with a discussion of discontinuing GLP-1s. Talk to your doctor for the proper protocol. If you decide to continue GLP-1s, please start strength training to offset muscle loss.

The steps in between big leaps, like little foot prints in the sand, are what make life worth living. Long strides cover many fronts, but little prints leave big clues. Facilitators, plans, and leadership building strategy. Persistent pressure as granular policy. Looks like organized trade craft in the subversive industry. A power network to bend institutions. The funding chain is simple, but key. Yield Giving is a McKinsey Scott (Bezo's Ex) managed finance vehicle. Out Front Minnesota and Ilhan Omar in her hijab. She meets with gay people her religion would burn. Foul smelling ethics can be technically lawful. Muscle memory for influencing reactions. For many, the zombie training is easy. Players are given a roll, their lane and detailed script. This is groundwork for a general strike. Hiding behind language is false protection from the law. Many of the same lefties are involved in multiple ops. We knew it was going to be a long war. The well financed and planned street opposition is proving that.
