In this episode of Vegan Proteins' Muscles by Brussels Radio, Dani and Alice dive deep into the realities of perimenopause, menopause, hormones, and maintaining a strong, healthy physique as women get older. They discuss the overwhelming amount of information online, the difference between helpful education and fear-based messaging, and why menopause is a complex transition rather than a simple explanation for every struggle with weight loss.The conversation covers how declining estrogen and progesterone can impact muscle retention, body fat distribution, insulin sensitivity, recovery, sleep, and overall stress tolerance. Dani and Alice discuss why calories in versus calories out still applies, while acknowledging that the factors influencing calorie needs and adherence can change over time. They also talk about why strength training, movement, adequate nutrition, and patience become even more important as women age.They explore topics like chronic dieting, metabolic adaptation, reverse dieting, fiber intake, digestion, stress management, and the importance of avoiding extreme approaches. The episode also breaks down hormone replacement therapy (HRT), what it can and cannot do, why it is highly individual, and why medical guidance matters when considering hormonal treatments.Whether you are navigating menopause yourself, coaching women through this stage of life, or simply want to better understand how the female body changes with age, this episode provides a balanced look at fitness, hormones, and long-term health.
Send us Fan MailFive years in and we've yet to talk about the Muscles from Brussels. This ends here. In one of our most serve-serving episodes to date, we decide to completely disregard our audience and instead cover a movie just for our own warped cinematic fetishes. The stereotypes and misogyny are in full bloom throughout this film's measly 92 minutes, but somehow everything works out okay in the end. If you can withstand the content, stick around to the end where we talk about our favorite movie ending showdowns. It does not deliver in the least. Ironic.
Motion Church | Victor, Week 1: "Victory Question" Kicking off a brand-new series called Victor, this message starts with an honoring of two longtime leaders — including Motion Church's very first youth pastor, who began serving "16 years ago" and is, as Pastor Andy puts it, "still serving with all his heart." It's Mother's Day too, and Shelly gets her well-earned shoutout. Then into the heart of it: life isn't a fairy tale. "If you don't know this by now, sweetheart, Cinderella, this ain't a fairy tale." Adversity is guaranteed for everyone — "the rain will come... at some point you're going to go through a storm." The real question isn't whether trouble comes, but how you respond to it. "I think that there are two basic mentalities that you can have. You can be a victim, or you can be a victor." Scripture doesn't leave us guessing about which one we're called to be: "We are more than conquerors through him... not through your effort, not through your talent." As Jesus said in John 16, "in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation... but take heart, I have overcome the world." The difference between a victim and a victor comes down to one thing: the question they ask. Victims ask "why" — why me, why now, why is this happening. Victors ask "what" — "God, what do you want me to see in this struggle?" Even David swung between the two in Psalm 22, moving from "my God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" to praising God in the very same psalm. Even Jesus, in Gethsemane, asked "let this cup pass from me" before landing on "nevertheless, not as I will, but as you will." And here's the encouragement: it's okay to visit "Whyland" for a moment — "we can pass through, we can make a day trip, maybe, but that's not where we live... we're making our way to What land." The message closes with a powerful image: "Seeds don't grow unless you put them in the ground. Muscles don't grow unless they're torn." Nothing in your life is wasted — "we don't lose. We learn." So the question for Motion Church is simple: "Are we going to be victims or are we going to be victors?"
When Mayor Zohran Mamdani refused to march in New York City’s Israel Day parade - the first mayor of the city to do so in over 60 years – “did not surprise” Rabbi Josh Weinberg, who participated in the parade. But the liberal Zionist Reform rabbi was surprised to discover that he was marching alongside far-right ministers like Bezalel Smotrich and members of the Kahanist Otzma Yehudit party. Had he known, said Weinberg, Vice President of the URJ for Israel and Reform Zionism, speaking on the Haaretz Podcast, he would’ve held a sign making it clear that “Smotrich’s Zionism does not reflect our ideology at all, and is in fact antithetical to who we are as Jews and Zionists, and even as Americans. His brand of racism, discrimination, xenophobia – everything that he stands for – we want to totally reject while still maintaining our love and support for Israel." Weinberg added that a statement by Smotrich that the New York event resembled the Jerusalem Day flag march – an event regularly marked by harassment and violence towards Palestinians in the city – made him “want to throw up.” Also speaking on the podcast, Haaretz's New York correspondent Etan Nechin said that the Israeli ministers in the parade presented their presence as an “act of defiance by the Israeli Knesset and by the Israeli government” to “show” Mamdani. Assessing the mayor’s relationship with the Jewish community over the first six months of his term, Weinberg praised Mamdani’s initiative to increase spending to secure Jewish institutions with the rise of antisemitism, but regretted his boycott of the parade and his high-profile commemoration of Nakba Day online. Nechin countered with his belief that Mamdani had taken advantage of harnessing his popularity to take advantage of “this sudden historic opportunity to platform and champion Palestinian voices.” Mamdani, he said, “is a symptom of American public opinion – especially young Americans who are having conversations about Israel and Palestine, but not on Israeli or Jewish terms. It’s something that the Jewish community and Israelis will need to contend with.” Read more: Majority of Americans Hold Unfavorable Opinion of Israel as Confidence in Netanyahu Plummets, Pew Survey Finds 'We're Done Apologizing': Inside the Israeli Far Right's Big Weekend Out in New York Mamdani 'Offended' by Participation of Far-right Israeli MKs in Israel Day Parade Nearly Half of Young U.S. Jews Want to Replace Israel With Binational State, Poll Finds How Trump's Second Term Marks the Ascendance of The New Jewish Orthodox RightSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Jim Highsmith has been thinking about decision-making for a long time. When he wrote Agile Project Management in 2004, he went looking for practical guidance on decision-making in the project management literature and found very little. That gap matters even more now.In this episode, Jim and I talk about why AI raises the stakes for executive judgment. AI can remove friction, speed up work, and take on repeatable tasks, but it can also make it easier for leaders to stop practicing the very capabilities they are paid to use. Jim brings this to life through John Boyd's OODA loop, the risk of judgment atrophy, mountaineering decisions, Rob Hall's Everest threshold, Phil Knight's pattern recognition at Nike, and a personal story from Jim's own time leading a collaborative project team at Nike.This conversation is really about how leaders build judgment deliberately: by making consequence-bearing decisions, setting thresholds before pressure arrives, creating space for slow thinking, and reflecting honestly on how decisions were made.Key TakeawaysAI can weaken judgment when leaders stop practicing it: Jim compares the risk to driving an autonomous car: the more the system takes over, the less sharp the driver becomes. AI can remove low-value effort, but leaders still need to practice making consequence-bearing decisions.The OODA loop is mostly about orientation: Jim explains that John Boyd's edge was not just speed, but his ability to update his mental model quickly. For leaders, the real work is noticing when old assumptions no longer fit the situation.Capability is knowledge plus experience plus judgment: AI can make knowledge easier to access, but it cannot replace the experience of carrying consequences. Judgment develops when people make real decisions, reflect on the outcome, and adjust how they think.Thresholds only work when enforced under pressure: Jim uses Rob Hall's Everest story to show why decision thresholds matter before emotion, ambition, or sunk cost take over. In business, those thresholds might be cost, risk, customer impact, or reversibility.Leaders need to separate fast decisions from slow judgment: Some repeatable, data-heavy decisions can be automated with guardrails. Higher-context decisions still need human orientation, pattern matching, and time to think.Reflection turns experience into better pattern matching: Barry shares his practice of documenting decisions, what was known at the time, and why the call was made. That kind of review helps leaders improve the decision process, not just judge the outcome.Additional InsightsRole modeling beats mandates: Jim describes how Boyd taught by showing the mechanics of his performance. Barry connects this to AI adoption: leaders create more movement by sharing how they are using the tools in real work.Productivity fatigue is a real AI-era risk: Barry reflects on how AI can increase output while shrinking the space to think. That matters because senior leadership work often depends on judgment, not just throughput.AI transformation is still a people problem: Jim returns to Jerry Weinberg's reminder that “no matter what they tell you, it's a people problem.” Tools help, but organizations still need to redesign the work, behaviors, and decisions around them.Pattern matching is different from gut feel: Jim uses Phil Knight's Nike decisions to show how instinct can come from years of context. What looks intuitive on the surface is often pattern recognition built through experience.Episode Highlights00:00 – Episode Recap – Jim Highsmith frames the core tension of the episode: AI can accelerate work, but it can also expose whether leaders have a real decision-making system or are quietly handing judgment to the machine.01:45 – Guest Introduction – Barry introduces Jim Highsmith, a pioneer of adaptive leadership and original Agile Manifesto signatory whose work has shaped how organizations navigate uncertainty and make high-stakes decisions. (Jim Highsmith)04:27 – Decision-Making Was Missing from the Playbook – Jim explains that when he wrote his first Agile Project Management book in 2004, he found surprisingly little practical guidance on decision-making in standard project management sources.05:47 – The Real Power of the OODA Loop – Jim revisits John Boyd's observe, orient, decide, act model and argues that orientation, the ability to update mental models under pressure, is the part leaders often underdevelop.07:19 – From Process-Centric to Judgment-Centric Management – Jim makes the case that if AI takes over more process improvement work, organizations need decision-making capacity distributed through the system, not concentrated at the top.09:14 – The Judgment Muscle Can Atrophy – Barry and Jim use the autonomous car example to show how useful automation can quietly weaken a capability when people stop practicing it.12:33 – Role Modeling Beats Mandates – Jim explains how Boyd taught fighter pilots by showing the mechanics of superior performance, which Barry connects to leaders demonstrating their own AI experiments instead of simply telling others what to do.15:50 – Capability Is More Than Knowledge – Jim defines capability as knowledge plus experience plus judgment, pointing out that LLMs can provide knowledge but not the consequence-bearing experience that shapes better calls.18:56 – Thresholds Keep Decisions Honest – Jim shares the Rob Hall Everest story to show why thresholds only matter if leaders are willing to honor them when pressure, ambition, or sunk cost pushes the other way.20:58 – Automate the Right Decisions – Jim distinguishes fast, data-dependent System One decisions from slower System Two judgments, giving leaders a practical way to decide what to automate and what to protect.24:31 – From Search Engine to Human-Agent Teams – Jim describes his own progression from using AI as a search engine to working daily with multiple humans and agents, showing that the practice evolves through use.27:06 – Productivity Fatigue and Constant Execution – Barry reflects on how AI can create more throughput while leaving less space for slow thinking, especially for leaders whose real value is making judgment calls.31:05 – Relearning the People Problem – Jim returns to Jerry Weinberg's reminder that “no matter what they tell you, it's a people problem,” and Barry connects that to companies buying AI tools without redesigning how people work.33:21 – Pattern Matching Is Not Gut Feel – Jim uses Phil Knight's early Nike decisions to explain why seasoned executives often seem intuitive because they have built patterns from industry knowledge, relationships, and lived context.36:09 – Decision Journaling Builds Better Judgment – Barry describes documenting decisions, the information available, and the rationale at the time as a way to learn from both strong and weak outcomes.37:22 – A Nike Lesson in Collaborative Judgment – Jim recalls a project decision at Nike where the team agreed with the outcome but challenged the process, giving him a lasting lesson about when people need to be part of the call.38:51 – Closing Reflections – Barry thanks Jim and points listeners toward his writing as these long-standing ideas about judgment, adaptability, and decision-making become even more relevant in the AI era.Useful ResourcesJim Highsmith's website – Jim's home base for his bio, books, articles, podcasts, and current work.

In this episode of Muscles by Brussels Radio, Ben sits down with coaching client Kelsey to discuss her remarkable first bodybuilding season, which culminated in earning professional status. Kelsey shares what initially inspired her to compete, how she balanced contest prep with a demanding legal career, and the lessons she learned about consistency, flexibility, and self-belief throughout the process.The conversation also explores Kelsey's long-standing commitment to animal advocacy, her journey from vegetarian to vegan, and how those values shaped both her career and lifestyle. They discuss the realities of contest prep, overcoming perfectionism, navigating setbacks, managing travel and work responsibilities, and why having the right coach and support system can make such a profound difference. Kelsey also reflects on the experience of stepping on stage for the first time, achieving pro status, and what comes next after accomplishing a goal that had been decades in the making.
Our hosts, Alexis Highland and Avery Voress, explore the science of flight, from the dinosaur origins of birds to the anatomy and physics that make flying possible. They break down feathers, bones, muscles, lungs, lift, and wing shape, then connect it all back to why flight is so important for parrots' physical and mental wellbeing.This episode also covers how recall, return, stations, and harness training can help companion parrots safely use flight as enrichment, exercise, and confidence-building. The species spotlight is the Pacific Parrotlet (Forpus coelestis).Links:Visit Us: https://www.parrotstars.comParrot Stars on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/parrotstars/Parrot Stars on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@parrot_starsParrot Stars on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@parrotstarsLearn More: Castro, J.

Muscle loss in midlife is real, it is measurable, and it starts earlier than most women are told. Declining estrogen during perimenopause directly affects skeletal muscle — reducing mass, impairing muscle protein synthesis, and accelerating a process called sarcopenia. By the time many women notice it, they've already lost meaningful ground.In this episode, Dr. Carolyn Moyers is joined by Dr. Dianah Lake — emergency medicine physician, fitness and weight loss coach, and menopause wellness expert — to talk about what's actually driving muscle loss in midlife and what the evidence says about reversing it.

Episode 3420: Dr. Neal answers Joe's question about preserving muscle while using GLP-1 medications for weight loss, explaining that some loss of strength can be expected as body weight decreases and that current research does not show GLP-1 medications cause greater muscle loss than weight loss alone. He highlights the two most important strategies for maintaining muscle mass, adequate protein intake and consistent strength training, and shares practical recommendations for both. Quotes to ponder: “One explanation for the loss of muscular strength is simply that there is less of you.” “In fact, some studies have found that, when we lose weight, 25-30% of that weight, may be lost muscle!” “So far, the good news is that GLP-1 medications do not seem to increase muscle loss to any greater extent than what we would normally see as people lose weight.” Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode of Muscles by Brussels Radio, Ben sits down with Dr. Angie Sadeghi for an in-depth conversation on GLP-1 medications, gut health, digestion, fiber, and the growing confusion surrounding modern nutrition advice.Dr. Sadeghi explains how medications like Ozempic and Mounjaro actually work, why they've been so effective for appetite regulation and metabolic health, and what the research really says about concerns like muscle loss and long-term safety. The discussion also dives into insulin resistance, intramuscular fat, and why she believes many people have been misled about carbohydrates and fiber for years.Ben and Dr. Sadeghi explore why most Americans are severely lacking in fiber intake, the differences between soluble and insoluble fiber, and how gut health is often oversimplified online. They also discuss probiotics, fermented foods, microbiome testing, digestive discomfort during transitions to plant-based eating, and why Dr. Sadeghi no longer recommends the FODMAP diet for most patients.Throughout the conversation, Dr. Sadeghi shares practical insights from years of clinical experience helping patients improve their digestion, body composition, metabolic health, and long-term quality of life.
What if cueing the body wasn't about telling muscles what to do — but helping clients feel how their body already knows how to move? In this solo episode of The Pilates Lounge Podcast, Katie explores how Pilates teachers can cue muscles without directly asking clients to "switch on," "activate," or "engage" specific muscles. Drawing from her own teaching experience, Katie shares how her cueing language has evolved over the years and why functional movement should reflect how the body naturally works in everyday life. Using simple examples like picking up a coffee cup or walking, she explains why constantly cueing muscle contraction may sometimes interrupt natural coordination rather than improve it. This episode invites Pilates professionals to think deeper about body awareness, joint placement, integrated movement, and how to use language, touch, imagery, props, and the environment to help clients connect with their body in a more natural and functional way. In This Episode, We Discuss: Why Katie no longer relies heavily on cues like "switch on your core" How teaching language naturally evolves over time Why Pilates cueing should support real-life function The difference between muscle activation and body awareness Why actively cueing muscles can sometimes interrupt natural movement How to help clients understand where their body is in space The role of joint placement in supporting better movement How to cue the core without directly saying "engage your core" How to help clients feel hamstring connection through the heel Why the body works as an integrated system, not isolated muscles How props, touch, equipment, and imagery can improve client awareness Why curiosity and feedback are essential for Pilates teachers Key Takeaways ✨ Pilates cueing does not always need to focus on individual muscle activation ✨ The body naturally coordinates movement without conscious muscle commands ✨ Functional teaching should reflect how clients move in everyday life ✨ Joint placement and body awareness can help muscles work more naturally ✨ Imagery, touch, props, and the environment can support deeper client understanding ✨ Teaching language will continue to evolve as your experience and knowledge grow ✨ There is no perfect way to teach — only the best way you can teach with what you know today About Katie Crane Katie Crane is the host of The Pilates Lounge Podcast and founder of The Pilates Professional. With decades of experience in the Pilates industry, Katie supports Pilates teachers and movement professionals in deepening their understanding of the body, refining their teaching approach, and developing more thoughtful, functional, and client-centered practices. In this episode, Katie shares a personal and practical reflection on cueing, teaching evolution, and how Pilates professionals can better guide clients toward movement that feels natural, integrated, and empowering.

Our emotional patterns are often the result of repetition and conditioning. In this episode, we explore how repeated emotional states shape identity, relationships, and daily experience. What you practice emotionally becomes familiar, and what becomes familiar eventually feels normal—even if it's limiting you.You Got This,Ryan
Perhaps it will seem elementary; but it is not. We must exercise self control in being quick to listen, but slow to speak -> and then we will be much less likely to be quick to anger.
Biomechanist Katy Bowman and biologist Dr Jeannette Loram explore the fascinating world of vibration: the benefits and costs of impact to the body and the importance of sensing vibration in humans and other animals.Katy and Jeannette discuss how foot impacts during walking may actually form part of the brain's circulatory system. They also unpack the science of vibration plates and whether they are useful for muscle strength, bone health, and balance. The conversation then turns to running, exploring how it generates vibrations through the body's soft tissues, how these vibrations may affect performance, and what runners can do about it. Finally, they share some remarkable examples of vibration sensing in animals and consider how modern lifestyles may limit this sense in humans.The discussion on impact and contact with the ground continues with Mike Dally of Earth Runners®, creators of minimalist earthing sandals. Katy and Mike talk about the aims of minimalist footwear in reducing interference between the foot and the ground, how to adapt to minimalist sandals, and new designs in development, including an easy-to-put-on children's sandal.Enhanced Show Notes and Full Transcript0:00 The barefoot shoe expo debrief3:40 The Dynamic Collective6:40 Introduction to vibrations and waves8:22 Walking vibrations and brain health13:26 Vibrations and bone: building bone and fracture16:04 Soft tissue vibration during running17:45 Vibration plates: how do they work, and are they worth it?25:25 Running revisited33:44 Vibration sensing in animals40:08 Mike Dally from Earth Runners®52:25 Over-engineering health solutions rather than removing interference56:00 Adapting to minimalist sandals58:40 New products coming up: user-friendly children's sandals1:06:45 Listener question on foot pressure issues, sponsored by MovemateBooks, Links and Resources:An Immense World: How Animal Senses Reveal the Hidden Realms Around Us by Ed YongMary Roach books Katy's stylish strappy shoes How Walking Benefits The Brain Tacoma Narrows bridge collapse The Ins, Outs, Ups and Downs of Breast Movement Interview with Dr Libby Hinsley: Hypermobility, Proprioception & Building Up a Bendy Body - Podcast Ep #177Earth Runners® Sandals Connect, Move & Learn:Join Our Newsletter: Movement Colored GlassesFollow Katy on SubstackTry Katy's Virtual Studio Free for 7 days!Made Possible By Our Wonderful Sponsors:Movemate: Active standing boards with smoothly articulating wooden slats.

This is a candid conversation with friend, client, and business partner Aryeh Sheinbein. I have two real-time negotiations on my desk right now (a post-divorce mortgage refinance the bank told me had only one path, and a $10K non-refundable sheep deposit I'd already mentally written off), and partly because Aryeh is one of those rare people whose default assumption is that almost every "this is the price" is actually an opening position. What started as a casual conversation turned into a working framework — the two negotiation muscles most people never build, and the one filter that tells you which one to use. We get into Aryeh's $20 baseball-card arbitrage at age 12, his 60-day-late home builder, the Walmart end-cap standoff over a $30 pricing error, the Amex deal he settled for fifty cents on the dollar, and his co-investor who keeps asking for discounts — each one demonstrating a different rule. The flip in the episode comes near the end: I assumed "non-refundable" meant the conversation was closed. Aryeh's reframe was that when the other side breaks their part of the deal first, the deposit clause loses some of its teeth — and there's almost always room to open the conversation. By the end of the recording I'd talked myself into emailing the sheep seller. If you're someone for whom negotiation doesn't naturally dawn — if you read "non-refundable" or "this is our price" and just accept it — this episode is going to reframe what you've been leaving on the table.
Is "muscle confusion" just bro science, or does recent strength training research actually back it up? You might be surprised...We get into how muscles grow, why exercise selection changes which regions of a muscle develop, and the role of muscle length in hypertrophy.This episode covers the last decade of research on exercise variation and hypertrophy. These include studies on leg press vs. leg extension and on triceps and hamstrings at different muscle lengths.We distinguish the original P90X version of "muscle confusion" from the systematic variation (aka periodization and mesocycles) that you can intentionally plan into your strength training programming.This framing matters most for adults over 40 who've been told to pick a few compound lifts and add weight to the bar forever (sound familiar?).Join Eat More Lift Heavy, the 26-week coached program where adults over 40 build the nutrition and training skills to preserve muscle, lose fat, and manage their physique for life.Timestamps:0:00 - Muscle confusion and exercise variation 2:25 - Where "muscle confusion" came from 4:00 - Mechanical tension and progressive overload 5:52 - Muscles as regional structures 7:30 - Regional hypertrophy in the quads 10:24 - Muscle length and hypertrophy 14:30 - Strategic exercise selection 15:45 - Training programming for adults over 40 17:01 - 3 rules for planned variation 20:42 - Caveats on variation 23:35 - Bonus: lengthened-position swap per muscle group

Most resistance training studies focus on untrained people, but what happens when you push the volume in trained athletes? In this eye-opening episode, Jerred Moon and Dave reveal a groundbreaking study showing that increasing training volume by up to 120% doesn't impair muscle growth or recovery in trained individuals. The surprising part? Muscles seem to have a protective ceiling, making mega-volume jumps less beneficial than you'd think. Discover how this research challenges traditional beliefs about muscle hypertrophy, especially for seasoned athletes. We break down the specific protocols—like training to failure multiple times per week—and discuss how these findings can reshape your approach. You'll learn why adding more sets or increasing weight isn't always the answer and how to spot the point of diminishing returns. Perhaps most importantly, we explore the concept of the minimum effective dose—what's the smallest amount of work needed to keep progressing—and how to apply it to your training.

A polio survivor who hadn't moved her leg muscles in decades picked up the phone two days after a single therapy session and said one sentence: "Something is happening in my legs." Her daughter — once stuck in airport wheelchairs, now walking the entire length of the Denver airport alone and playing pickleball — had told her it might. What's actually going on inside the human body when a lifetime of atrophy reverses in 48 hours? Is this real? Lance sits down with Connie to walk through three eye-witness stories that don't fit the script — including a man going blind from a rare genetic condition who saw vibrant color again 18 hours after one session. So is this real, or is something deeper at work in the design of the body itself? In this episode: * A lifetime of polio atrophy reversed in just two days * Wheelchair through the airport to walking Denver International alone * A man going blind sees vibrant color again 18 hours later * A husband sleeps through the night for the first time in over a decade * A war veteran's chronic road rage vanishes overnight * The Level 10 Matrix protocol Lance uses preventatively, not reactively * Why Connie believes this was a divine appointment for her whole family If you've been told there's nothing more that can be done, you may want to watch this one twice.

In this episode, I introduce a concept that has been reshaping the way I work with clients and train teachers: moving beyond a muscle-focused approach and learning to observe how the body actually coordinates movement. I talk about why trying to "fix" tight or weak muscles can sometimes lead to confusion and limited results, and how much of this comes from the fact that we can't directly see muscle engagement. Instead of guessing, I explain how shifting our focus to segmental movement allows us to work with something more observable, measurable, and ultimately more effective. I also walk through how this perspective changes the way we assess and guide movement, using real examples from my work. By asking better questions—what's moving, what shouldn't be, and what's missing—we can uncover the true drivers behind dysfunction and pain. This approach not only creates clearer outcomes but also empowers clients to better understand their own bodies, improve their proprioception, and actively participate in their progress.

Biomechanist Katy Bowman speaks with gerontologist and author Dr. Kerry Burnight about her concept of joyspan—a missing piece in how we think about aging well.We often hear about lifespan (how long we live) and healthspan (how long we stay physically well), but what about the quality of those years? Dr. Burnight introduces joyspan as our capacity to experience a meaningful, fulfilling life as we age. In this framework, joy is not simple happiness, but a deeper sense of wellbeing that can coexist with challenge, grief, and change.Katy and Dr. Burnight explore the Joyspan Matrix—Give, Connect, Adapt, and Grow—and how these actions enable us to thrive as we age. Rather than viewing aging as inevitable decline they discuss aging as development, the positives of aging and how to step into eldership.Katy also speaks with our sponsor, Sohail Shariff of Movemate, creators of a unique dynamic wooden standing board that provides continuous, wave-like movement in the body while you are working at your desk or at home.They discuss how the board supports musculoskeletal health, while also improving focus, creativity, and calm—reducing fatigue and the mental boredom and stagnation that comes from prolonged stillness. They also explore the role of play in the design, and how a serious problem—sedentary behavior—can be addressed in a way that is engaging, enjoyable, and even joyful.Enhanced Show Notes and Full Transcript00:00 – Lifespan, Healthspan… and Joyspan01:20 – Dynamic Collective Sponsors02:30 – Dr Kerry Burnight Explains Joyspan: The Science of Thriving As You Age09:40 – The Joyspan Matrix: Grow, Connect, Adapt, Give19:30 – Giving, Purpose & Becoming an Elder (Rethinking Aging)42:00 – Meet Movemate: A Dynamic Standing Board for Work and Play46:00 – How Movemate Works: Movement, Feeling & Physical Benefits49:15 – Cognitive & Emotional Effects of the Movemate Board54:00 – Play & Solving Sedentary Behavior With Enjoyable Movement Tools1:05:20 – Listener question: resolving amenorrhea, sponsored by Ikaria Design Books, Links and Resources:Joyspan: The Art and Science of Thriving in Life's Second Half – Dr Kerry Burnight About Dr Kerry Burnight (gerontologist, author of Joyspan) Dr Kerry Burnight on InstagramMovemate – Dynamic Active Standing Board for Work & Play Movemate on InstagramConnect, Move & Learn:Join Our Newsletter: Movement Colored GlassesFollow Katy on SubstackTry Katy's Virtual Studio Free for 7 days!Made Possible By Our Wonderful Sponsors:.Peluva: Five-toe minimalist shoes that move like you do—take 10% off with code NUTRITIOUSMOVEMENTMovemate: Active standing boards with smoothly articulating wooden slats.

What if your muscles were the most important organ in your body for living a longer, healthier life? In this episode, Dr. Robert Hariri sits down with Dr. Jacob Wilson, founder of the Applied Science & Performance Institute in Tampa, Florida, to explore the cutting-edge science of muscle health and aging.Dr. Wilson breaks down why muscle is far more than just a tool for movement - it's a critical endocrine organ that synthesizes proteins, supports immune function, and houses your body's regenerative stem cell reservoir. They discuss the science of myostatin inhibition, how blocking this protein can counteract age-related muscle loss, and what the latest clinical trials are showing.In this episode:Why muscle is a critically important organ for longevityResistance training fundamentals: bodyweight, bands, weights & machinesAnaerobic vs. aerobic exercise and what matters mostThe role of mitochondria in endurance and muscle healthMyostatin inhibition and clinical research from the Applied Science & Performance InstituteStem cells, regenerative medicine, and cell therapyKetogenic nutrition, ketones, and brain performanceHow to maximize your body's regenerative engine at any ageWhether you're an elite athlete or just beginning your health journey, this conversation will change the way you think about building and preserving muscle for a longer life.
I've become a weekly watcher of Kate O'Connor's YouTube vlog, Place-Goers, which features her going places with her boyfriend, Danny Catlow. I know both comedians—and unapologetic YouTubers!—from doing comedy in Chicago, but since they live in L.A. now, that's the site of most of their place-going. Their dynamic is great together, but for their TIYA appearances, I wanted to talk to them separately. These are the first two-part episodes featuring collaborators in a long time, and it's the very first two-episode week for the podcast.We talk about: relationship patterns, increasing bone density, Jungian therapy, being a gamer, codependency, abusive relationships, the euphoria of witnessing death, Delta Work and frying the small fish.Support the show and get the TIYA After Dark feed on Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/thisisyourafterlifeFollow Kate:http://www.youtube.com/@Place-Goershttps://thebrokenelbow.substack.com/Follow/contact This Is Your Afterlife:https://thisisyourafterlife.com/https://www.instagram.com/thisisyourafterlife/thisisyourafterlifepodcast@gmail.comMusic by TIYA house band Lake Mary:https://lakemary.bandcamp.com/https://www.instagram.com/chaz.prymek/Artwork by Matt Sage:https://www.instagram.com/matthewjsage/
In this episode of Muscles by Brussels Radio, Dani shares her full journey, from growing up in a low-income household with poor nutrition habits to becoming a leader in vegan fitness coaching.She opens up about early weight struggles, discovering veganism, and losing over 80 pounds through diet alone, only to later face disordered eating patterns fueled by “clean eating” culture. Dani discusses how misinformation, extreme dieting, and toxic fitness influences shaped her mindset, and how she eventually broke free by embracing evidence-based approaches.The conversation also dives into the origins of Vegan Proteins, lessons learned from coaching, and why sustainable systems (not perfection) are the key to long-term success. Dani closes with advice for anyone starting their fitness journey and a reminder that your background doesn't define your future.
Frailty isn't just something that happens “later”; it's a gradual loss of resilience that can begin much earlier than most people think. Katy Bowman and Dr. Jeannette Loram unpack what frailty and pre-frailty mean biologically. They explore the five key hallmarks used to identify frailty, including walking speed and grip strength, and how a large proportion of people in their 30s and 40s already fall on the spectrum of pre-frailty.The conversation also explores the muscle–gut connection, explaining how frailty is influenced by exercise, diet, and the health of your microbiome. Katy and Jeannette also discuss the potential for rapid-onset frailty linked to the use of GLP-1 medications.Most importantly, frailty can be reversed and this episode focuses on what you can do. From simple ways to improve resilience through movement, nutrition, and rest, to understanding how your attitude toward aging might influence your resilienceEnhanced Show Notes and Full Transcript00:00 – Intro + Sponsors 01:30 – What Is Frailty (and Pre-Frailty) 03:00 – The 5 Hallmarks of Frailty 10:50 – How Pre-Frailty Can Start in Your 30s 12:40 – Muscle–Gut Connection & the Microbiome 19:40 – Exercise as “Fuel” for Your Microbiome 27:30 – Supplementation and the Psychology of Change 29:50 – GLP-1 Medication & Rapid-Onset Frailty 42:20 – Listener Question: Finding Glute Strength (Sponsored by Peluva)Resources and Books Mentioned:Joyspan by Kerry Burnight Frailty Sets In Far Earlier Than You'd Expect But You Can Reverse It, by David Cox in the New Scientist Frailty and pre-frailty in middle-aged and older adults and its association with multimorbidity and mortality: a prospective analysis of 493 737 biobank participants by Hanlon et al 2018Evidence For The Contribution Of Gut Microbiota To Age-Related Anabolic Resistance by Watson et al 2021Semaglutide Therapy and Accelerated Sarcopenia in Older Adults With Type-2 Diabetes: A 24-Month Retrospective Cohort Study by Ren et al 2025Connect, Move & Learn:Join Our Newsletter: Movement Colored GlassesFollow Katy on SubstackTry Katy's Virtual Studio Free for 7 days!Made Possible By Our Wonderful Sponsors:.My Happy Feet: Toe-spacing socks that gently realign toes for comfortable recovery—take 20% off with code MYDNAIkaria Design: The Soul Seat® offers height-adjustable, multi-position sitting—get 10% off new chairs and desks with code DNA10Venn Design: Beautifully upholstered ball-shaped Air Chairs that encourage dynamic sittingPeluva: Five-toe minimalist shoes that move like you do—take 10% off with code NUTRITIOUSMOVEMENTSmart Playrooms: Beautiful playroom design and movement-rich equipment—save 10% on monkey bars and rock-wall items with code DNA10Movemate: Active standing boards with smoothly articulating wooden slats.

Welcome to this week's Midlife Minute episode. Today, I respond to a complex question from my free Facebook group. Stay tuned as I explore the root cause of Melinda's persistent knee inflammation, from protein needs and recovery to mitochondrial support, and why eating “clean” does not always reduce inflammation. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN: How persistent swelling and discomfort after 40 could reflect mitochondrial decline Why 20 to 25 grams of protein at a meal may not be enough to trigger muscle protein synthesis Why eating “really clean” while doing heavy exercise could create a relative energy deficiency Mitochondrial support supplements that are commonly used for repair and boosting mitophagy The benefits of the flavonoid, apigenin The value of CoQ10, especially for those on statin therapy Why melatonin is more than just a sleep hormone How BPC 157 differs from the experimental peptides available online Connect with Cynthia Thurlow Follow on X, Instagram & LinkedIn Check out Cynthia's website Submit your questions to support@cynthiathurlow.com Join other like-minded women in a supportive, nurturing community: The Midlife Pause/Cynthia Thurlow Cynthia's Menopause Gut Book is on presale now!

Most people think going to the gym for aesthetics is shallow. Science says it's actually the most honest starting point you've got and the person making that argument built one of the most respected evidence-based fitness companies in the world, openly used steroids, and then had surgery to remove his love handles. In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Mike Israetel, PhD in Sport Physiology and co-founder of Renaissance Periodization. We break down why two 20 minute workouts a week can build genuine muscle, why compound movements beat isolation exercises for nearly everyone, and why yoga and Pilates will not get you the physique you're after. Mike also opens up about his own use of anabolic steroids and cosmetic surgery, and makes the case that aesthetics pursued honestly and without shame is one of the most empowering conversations in health. Then we go deep on the future of the human body: GLP-1s, myostatin inhibitors, retatrutide, and why Mike believes that by the 2040s, no disease we can identify today will still exist. We also cover AI-driven medicine, recursive self-improvement, the brain rot epidemic, and what's inside his upcoming book The Aesthetics Revolution. This conversation will completely change how you think about why you train, how you train, and what the human body is about to become.
