Most people train in two lanes: cardio machines and lifting weights. In this episode, we zoom out and talk about the “full adult athlete”, the overlooked skills that keep you capable, coordinated, and feeling young.We get into:1. Why you don't need a perfect program once you've trained long enough2. “Capacities” beyond force production: coordination, reflexes, balance, finesse, and control3. Jump rope and hopping for tendon strength, rhythm, and athletic bounce4. Rope flow, juggling, and micro-dosing skill work without living in the gym5. Nasal breathing, weighted vest walks, and making brutal conditioning more productive6. How to stop feeling worse as you get older: expand your movement “scope” and keep exploringIf you're training for life, not just the bench, this one's for you.Special perks for our listeners below!

Nasal reshaping is the most creative procedure in all of plastic surgery.  Formally called "rhinoplasty", this nasal reshaping, it's also the most difficult procedure in cosmetic surgery.  On this show, we discuss how we plan and perform rhinoplasties.  Tune in!

In episode 375 of The Physical Performance Show, Coach Lino Holler and Exercise Physiologist Alex Butchies—founders of The Breath Room—join hosts Hugh Darnell and Brad Beer to unpack the science, the soul, and the surprising simplicity behind breathwork. Known for blending physiological precision with deep nervous-system awareness, Lino and Alex explain how breath training can radically influence performance, recovery, emotional regulation, and everyday resilience. They share the models they've built for athletes, clinicians and everyday performers—equipping listeners to understand when to activate, when to regulate, when to release, and how to stay composed under pressure. This episode explores breathwork as a foundational human movement—right alongside gait—and highlights how poor breathing mechanics echo into every body system. From apnea training to flow-state access, from nervous-system overload to psychological clarity, Hugh, Lino, and Alex guide listeners through practical tools and principles that can reshape life, training, and mental wellbeing.   On instagram checkout: Lino @coachhola  AB @butschies  TBR @thebreatheroomglobal Consulting @ab_physiology   To get the TBR Master Your Breath: Personal Development course head to  https://cleanhealth.edu.au/product/online-courses/master-your-breath/   To get the Level 1 TBR Certified Breathwork Coaching course head to  https://cleanhealth.edu.au/product/online-courses/the-breathe-room-level-1/   To get 20% of either course use promo code 'AB20' at checkout   Listen in as we delve into the following: Lino & Alex's backgrounds and the origin story of The Breath Room Why breathwork is both universal and wildly misunderstood The "science and soul" model: activate, regulate, release How breath patterns influence physiology, psychology, posture, and performance Understanding flow state and how breath helps athletes access it What inefficient breathing looks and sounds like—and why it matters Nasal breathing, LSD breathing, and the dangers of skipping the basics Apnea training, CO₂ tolerance & performance crossover Assessing breathing in athletes: practical tests and markers Nervous system burnout, emotional load & modern stress physiology Training resilience: why athletes must learn to perform under pressure How to help clients (and yourself) find the "middle zone" Why 5 minutes of daily breathwork is the minimum effective dose Two practical breathwork protocols listeners can start today Quotes "If you can master your breath, you can master your life." — Lino Holler "Seek balance, not perfection.

This episode is brought to you by Fatty15, WHOOP and Timeline. Dr. Patrick Porter, PhD joins us today to break down what brain fitness really means and why modern life is overwhelming a biological system that was never designed for today's pace. Dr. Porter explains how brain energy, neuroplasticity, breathwork, mitochondria, sleep architecture, stress physiology, light exposure, and daily rituals all influence our ability to think clearly, recover deeply, and perform at a high level. We explore the science behind neurogenesis, the glymphatic system, alpha and delta brainwave states, the impact of sugar and artificial sweeteners on cognitive decline, how breathing and light frequencies regulate the nervous system, and why most people are unknowingly compromising their sleep, metabolism, and cognitive output. Packed with actionable tools—from box breathing and SMR training to healthier morning routines, supplements, and digital hygiene—this episode is a masterclass on how to build a sharper brain and age better.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for November 27, 2025 is: cornucopia • kor-nuh-KOH-pee-uh • noun A cornucopia, also known as a horn of plenty, is a curved, hollow goat's horn or similarly shaped receptacle (such as a horn-shaped basket) that is overflowing, especially with fruit and vegetables. The image of a cornucopia is commonly used as decoration and as a symbol of abundance, but the word cornucopia is today more often encountered in its metaphorical use referring to an overflowing abundance, or to a seemingly inexhaustible amount of something. // The zoo's new aviary is a veritable cornucopia of color and sound, with scores of different bird species swooping and squawking through the canopy. See the entry > Examples: “It was rather dark in there. ... However, the counters and their cornucopia of offerings were brightly lit. Want chocolate bars? Nasal sprays? Gummy bears? Bath bombs? Tinctures? Vapes? Mints? Jellies? Peanut butter cups? Lemonade? Fruit punch?” — Marla Jo Fisher, The Orange County (California) Register, 1 Sept. 2025 Did you know? Cornucopia comes from the Late Latin phrase cornu copiae, which translates literally as “horn of plenty.” A traditional staple of feasts, the cornucopia is believed to represent the horn of a goat from Greek mythology. According to legend, it was from this horn, which could be filled with whatever the owner wished, that the god Zeus was fed as an infant by his nurse, the nymph Amalthaea. Later, the horn was filled with flowers and fruits, and given as a present to Zeus. The filled horn (or a receptacle resembling it) has long served as a traditional symbol in art and decoration to suggest a store of abundance. The word first appeared in English in the early 16th century; a century later, it developed the figurative sense of “an overflowing supply.”

Persistent congestion, pressure, or a reduced sense of smell often gets mistaken for allergies or a stubborn cold when it may be something more, like chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP). Getting the right diagnosis is the first step toward real relief. Dr. Tonya Farmer, a board-certified ENT, joins Kortney and Dr. G to explain how chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) is diagnosed. She walks us through the full evaluation: what symptoms matter, what a nasal endoscopy actually shows, when a CT scan is needed, and how type 2 inflammation fits into the picture. What we cover about diagnosing CRSwNP: Key symptoms: Persistent congestion, drainage, facial pressure, and especially loss of smell are major red flags for CRSwNP. Why duration matters: Chronic means 12 weeks or longer. If symptoms keep coming back or never truly improve, it's time to look deeper. The physical exam: ENTs use nasal endoscopy to see swelling, mucus, or polyps that aren't visible from the outside. When CT scans are needed: Imaging helps confirm sinus inflammation and shows the extent of polyp growth. Additional testing: Allergy testing, IgE levels, eosinophils, and other immune markers help identify type 2 inflammation and guide next steps. When to see a specialist: If antibiotics, steroids, or over-the-counter treatments aren't helping, ask for a referral to an allergist or ENT. Early diagnosis can prevent worsening symptoms and reduce the need for surgery.

Subscribe to the video podcast: https://www.youtube.com/@LiveHolPlus/Cardiovascular disease is still the number one killer, yet guidelines keep pushing cholesterol lower and more people are put on statins for life. In this hol+ episode, Dr. Taz sits down with worlds leading nitric oxide researcher Dr. Nathan S. Bryan to ask hard questions about statin risk versus benefit, why cholesterol alone does not explain heart disease, and what is nitric oxide actually doing inside the body long before a heart attack or stroke. Together, they explore why low or no nitric oxide may be the missing piece behind rising blood pressure, plaque, and dementia, even in people who “follow the rules.”From the benefits of nitric oxide for blood flow, blood pressure, diabetes, and brain health to the surprising impact of antiseptic mouthwash and antacid medications, this conversation reframes cardiovascular and metabolic disease as problems of cell signaling, not just lab numbers. You will learn what nitric oxide is, what does nitric oxide do for the body, why nitric oxide importance is often ignored in standard care, and how to raise nitric oxide through lifestyle, targeted support, and emerging restorative therapies based on decades of nitric oxide research.Dr. Taz and Dr. Bryan discuss:New cholesterol guidelines, statins, and rethinking risk vs benefitWhat is nitric oxide and what does nitric oxide do for the bodyWhy low or no nitric oxide shows up decades before heart attacks and strokeThe benefits of nitric oxide for blood flow, blood pressure, and sexual functionNitric oxide diabetes link and why insulin resistance is often a nitric oxide problemMouthwash and nitric oxide, antacids, fluoride, and the oral microbiomeHow lifestyle, diet, movement, and nasal breathing raise nitric oxide naturallyWhy standard biomarkers are late and vascular function should be tested soonerNitric oxide importance in Alzheimer's, dementia, and brain blood flowHow to raise nitric oxide safely and what to know about supplements vs “dead beets”About Dr. Nathan S. Bryan Dr. Nathan S. Bryan is a pioneering nitric oxide researcher, molecular medicine scientist, and biotech entrepreneur whose discoveries helped create a billion dollar nitric oxide market. His work has reshaped how we understand cardiovascular disease, metabolic health, nitric oxide diabetes links, and how lifestyle, mouthwash and nitric oxide, and common drugs impact long term health. He is the author of The Secret of Nitric Oxide, where he breaks down what nitric oxide is, what nitric oxide does for the body, and how to raise nitric oxide safely at home using science based tools and lifestyle shifts.

This artery cleansing drink is like exercise in a cup! Unclog arteries and support cardiovascular health with one cup of this amazing drink daily. Reverse arterial plaque and prevent a heart attack naturally!0:00 Introduction: How to unclog arteries naturally0:33 What causes clogged arteries?2:21 How to increase nitric oxide3:00 How to reverse clogged arteries8:35 The best drink to unclog arteries10:33 More cacao benefits If you have damage to your arteries, you're at an increased risk for high blood pressure and clots, which can cause strokes and heart attacks. When you visit the doctor for these conditions, they typically address the symptoms rather than examining the root cause.The root cause of plaque in the arteries is endothelial damage. Endothelial damage and inflammation are repaired by plaque, composed of calcium, cholesterol, and protein.Arterial damage decreases nitric oxide levels, resulting in less control over blood pressure and an increased risk of clotting. Around 90% of heart attacks come from clots!Sunlight is vital to increase nitric oxide. Nasal breathing and magnesium are also essential.You can reverse arterial plaque buildup through a process called reverse cholesterol transport. This mechanism transports plaque in the arteries back to the liver for recycling. This process can be sped up with the help of the following:•Niacin •HDL cholesterol•Exercise •Fasting •Low-carb diets •Bile salts Magnesium controls calcium, so increasing your intake can help to remove it from the arteries. Polyphenols protect the endothelial layer of the arteries, and vitamin K2 helps prevent arterial calcification. Cacao powder is the main component of the best drink for your arteries. It's high in flavonols and stimulates enzymes in the body to produce more nitric oxide. Roasted cacao has been shown to increase blood flow to the arteries, similar to the effects of exercise.Cacao is also beneficial for your heart, brain, skin, and other organs and tissues in the body. It has an accumulative effect and can build up in your system over time. To prepare your drink, combine cacao powder in a glass of water. You can drink it cold or warm. Add beetroot juice powder for an additional boost of nitric oxide and an interesting flavor. You can also add a pinch of sea salt and a scoop of magnesium glycinate for the most potent effect!

Contributor: Meghan Hurley, MD Educational Pearls: 1. Initial Assessment Start with a physical examination: Determine if the bleed is anterior or posterior. Perform a primary survey: assess airway, breathing, and circulation (ABCs). Airway compromise = intubation immediately. If the patient is stable, have them blow out any clots, then re-examine the nares. 2. Topical Medications Anesthetics: provide local anesthesia and pain relief. Lidocaine Tetracaine Vasoconstrictors: reduce bleeding. LET (Lidocaine, Epinephrine, Tetracaine) is ideal because it provides anesthesia and vasoconstriction. Cocaine pledgets (less common). Tranexamic acid (TXA). Oxymetazoline (Afrin). Cautery (Chemical): If an anterior bleed is visualized, silver nitrate can be applied for cauterization 3. Technique Tips Use a nasal speculum. Spread up and down rather than side to side to avoid injury to the septum. Place LET-soaked gauze in the nares. Apply a nasal clamp for ~15 minutes to compress the vessels. Note that pledgets may cause upper lip numbness 4. Reassessment After 15 minutes, remove materials and inspect for a source of bleeding. If still bleeding and a source is identified, cauterize the site. Observe for 15 minutes to monitor for recurrence of bleeding. 5. Packing If the above measures fail to control bleeding: Anterior packing: Nasal tampon (Merocel) Convenient for outpatient removal. Balloon device Inflate the anterior balloon for compression. Posterior packing:  More complex, should consult ENT for additional assistance. 6. Disposition & Follow-Up Although rare, toxic shock syndrome is a possible complication of nasal packing. Antibiotic prophylaxis is controversial, but may be considered in high-risk patients. Outpatient follow-up if stable: Tampon: The patient can remove it at home. Balloon: Return to ED for removal. 7. Risk Factors for Epistaxis & Prevention Deviated septum, dry environments, and anticoagulant use Advise on humidifier use, nasal saline, and medication review to minimize future episodes.

Often people experience sneezing and congestion and are unclear of the difference between a cold and hay fever - very common in spring. What is the difference? This time of the year can be confusing especially with a late carry over of winter illnesses. Basically, hay fever is an allergic reaction to pollen, dust or pets. The common cold is an infection caused by a virus most often: rhinovirus. Hay-fever comes on suddenly, lasts for days to weeks, often frequent sneezing, and red itchy watery eyes, itchy throat, nose. No temperature. Common Cold: Comes on gradually over days, last 5 to 10 days, thick yellow nose discharge, mild eye irritation, less sneezing, often temperature and muscle ache. How should you tell the difference? If itch eyes and nose think hay fever. If you feel achy and unwell more likely a cold. Hay fever does tend to occur at certain times of the year – especially spring, or lawn mowing. With a cold often have ben in contact with someone who is sick How do you treat them? Hay fever : It is important to try and avoid irritants : keep windows closed especially on windy days, shower after being outside. We use anti-histamines (stops itch, sneezing), often eye drops(stops watery eyes) and nasal spray(stops nasal congestion). Common Cold: Antibiotics do not help – it's a virus. Stay at home - don't spread. Paracetamol or ibuprofen for aches and temperature. Nasal spray decongestants for nose Throat lozenges for sore throat. Usually, will improve over a week.

In Western countries, type 2 inflammation is the underlying cause of CRSwNP in ~ 80% of patients.

Living with constant congestion, facial pressure, or a loss of smell can make daily life exhausting. For many people, these symptoms are more than just allergies or a lingering cold. They may be signs of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP). Dr. Rohit Katial joins Kortney and Dr. G to unpack what CRSwNP really is, how it develops, and why type 2 inflammation plays such a key role. Together, they explain what's happening inside the sinuses, what symptoms to look for, and when it's time to see a specialist. What we cover about CRSwNP: What CRSwNP means: Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps is long-term inflammation of the nose and sinuses that lasts 12 weeks or more. What nasal polyps are: Soft, fluid-filled sacs (often “grape” or “pea” sized) that block airflow and lead to congestion and smell loss. Why it happens: Type 2 inflammation drives CRSwNP. Immune messengers like IL-4, IL-5, and IL-13 cause swelling and fluid buildup in the nasal lining. Who it affects: CRSwNP often overlaps with asthma, allergies, or aspirin sensitivity (AERD or Samter's Triad), making symptoms worse. When to seek help: If congestion, pressure, or loss of smell lasts more than 12 weeks, see an allergist or an ENT specialist. Early care can prevent sinus damage and improve breathing and quality of life. More episodes to support CRSwNP Ep. 101: What is Type 2 Inflammation?

Luke Way, founder of Isocapnic Technologies, reveals how respiratory limitations affect athletic performance and how proper breathing training can unlock significant performance gains.• Approximately 70% of athletes are functionally limited by their respiratory systems, meaning they physically cannot breathe enough air to perform at their true potential• VO2 max testing provides valuable insights beyond just a number, showing how different body systems contribute to or limit performance• Many athletes compensate with rapid, shallow breathing (up to 70 breaths per minute) instead of utilizing their full lung capacity• Breathing deeper rather than faster is more efficient as each breath contains "dead space" air that doesn't participate in gas exchange• The Isocapnic device allows athletes to train respiratory muscles without hyperventilation, conditioning them for sustained deep breathing• Nasal breathing is beneficial for low-intensity activities but physically cannot meet ventilation demands during high-intensity exercise• Proper respiratory training can reduce the energy cost of breathing from 18% to 8% of total energy expenditure during endurance activities• Blood work several times per year helps athletes monitor important markers like ferritin levels to optimize training and recovery• Consistency in training, recovery, and injury management is the ultimate differentiator for athletic successFor more information about respiratory training and to connect with Luke Way, visit Isocapnic Technologies online or reach out at Kelowna Hockey Fest.Support the show Check out our Website | Twitter | LinkedIn | Instagram | Tiktok | Spotify | Apple | Google | Youtube l Save 20% on Perfect Sports Supplements

We start by talking about a C26 athlete that raced without a watch at Ironman Wisconsin and dive into the mentality of being in tune with your body. We get into the psychology of logged workouts and really understanding what's going on from day to day. We talk about why 3 Zones may be all you need to train by. We get into data trends over time and if you're chasing the wrong goals. One of the hardest parts of this sport is recognizing minimal and imperceptive changes in the short term. We talk athlete over-analysis, and why most often don't even know what they're really looking at. We look at why aerobic training works and how making things feel easy might be the most underrated part of training. Topics: Racing without a watch Gauging time by the sun Primal instincts The psychology of logging and reading workouts Nasal breathing as the perfect technology Why most athletes might be better off training with only 3 Zones Going backwards Resisting the over analysis temptations Things that can affect our breathing Warming up the lungs Chasing that labored feeling too much When you're chasing the wrong goals Recognizing small gains or changes Athlete over-analysis Why many athletes don't really understand what they're looking at So many combinations of variables Some of your medium sessions might be your best Making things feel easy The true power of aerobic work Long term system work World Championship Predictions   Mike Tarrolly - mike@c26triathlon.com Robbie Bruce - robbie@c26triathlon.com

Research has shown that taking fewer than 2,000 steps daily increases disease rates. Anything over 4500 steps shows cardiovascular benefits, and taking more than 7000 steps daily significantly improves your health, including longevity. Walking after a meal can help eliminate any extra sugar you consume. If you wake up with high blood glucose, a morning walk can help lower it and prevent it from being converted into fat. Walking activates your muscles and can improve mood issues like depression. It lowers high blood pressure and can boost weight loss, especially visceral fat loss. Walking while fasting can significantly improve fasting benefits. Walking briskly and walking uphill enhances the benefits of walking. A 2017 Japanese study found that 3 minutes of fast-paced walking followed by 3 minutes of regular walking significantly affected blood pressure levels and leg strength. Repeating this cycle 5 times was more beneficial than 1.5 to 2 hours of walking.For more walking benefits, try backward walking! It strengthens the knees, ankles, and hips. Nasal breathing while walking can increase CO2, which makes oxygen more efficient in your blood.Walking can reduce cortisol naturally, helping to relieve stress. Leave your phone and music at home, and focus on the sights, sounds, and smells during your walk. Another way to increase the benefits of walking is with hypoxia training. To do this, inhale for 3 steps and exhale for 4 steps. You can also try holding your breath for 5 to 10 seconds, every few minutes. Hypoxia training can trigger genes that can strengthen your body, decrease inflammation, and improve recovery.Avoid the following mistakes while walking:•Leaning too far forward •Wearing uncomfortable shoes•Poor timing •OvertrainingDr. Eric Berg DC Bio:Dr. Berg, age 60, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis & Intermittent Fasting.
