Send us a Positive Review!Series Title: Religion IS Political [Part II of VII]In this episode Val & Nathan walk through the last several decades and map issues of high and low LDS political involvement, offering a template for what the church feels is significant enough to merit their active public statements, financial resources, active instruction to LDS membership regarding the vote.   What the church deems "of significant moral consequence" (per their official statement of neutrality) and what is deemed not morally significant enough to comment on in times of social unrest makes for very interesting conversation.  Join Val & Nathan as they unpack this highly relevant topic in an effort to make sense of this phenomenon, which they realize is anything but neutral.  Timestamps:00:00 Welcome and Series Setup00:19 Recap Political Neutrality02:42 Follow the Leader Tension03:45 LA Churches Speak Out05:26 Stated vs Observed Neutrality06:31 High Engagement Moral Issues11:40 Low Engagement Justice Issues16:29 Matthew 25 Reality Check19:47 2026 Silence and Current Events23:16 Doctrine and Covenants 9826:48 Silence as Endorsement29:13 Next Episode Preview and WrapSupport the showSupport the showListen, Share, Rate & Review EPISODESFriday Episodes Annual Access $89Friday Episodes Monthly Access $10Valerie's Support & Processing GroupsGift a ScholarshipDownload Free ResourcesVisit our Website

You don't need to become a marathon runner or chase elite VO₂ max numbers to live longer—but ignoring your cardiovascular fitness after 40 comes with serious consequences.  In Part 1 of this New Year Series, Ted explained what actually happens to your body as you age. In Part 2, he broke down why weight loss alone doesn't equal health.  And in Part 3, he showed why strength and muscle are non-negotiable for longevity.     In this episode, Ted turns to the missing piece most people overlook: cardiorespiratory fitness.  He cuts through the confusion around VO₂ max, cardio zones, and endurance training to explain what really matters for your heart, arteries, and long-term resilience. He breaks down how your cardiovascular system actually ages, why high-intensity workouts alone can backfire, and how to build an aerobic base that supports recovery, performance, and longevity—without turning your life upside down.   If you're over 40, lift weights, and consider yourself "active" but haven't intentionally trained your cardiovascular system, this episode will show you why that's a mistake—and exactly how to fix it in a sustainable way.    You'll learn:  Why lifting weights alone isn't enough to protect your heart after 40  Why VO₂ max is one of the strongest predictors of longevity and early death  The biggest cardio mistakes men over 40 make that accelerate aging  Why high-intensity workouts alone can backfire if you skip aerobic training  How to build heart health in a time-efficient, sustainable way in 2026  And much more...    What Ted discusses in this episode:  (00:00) Introduction  (02:30) Understanding VO2 Max and Its Importance  (04:35) How Cardiovascular System Ages  (07:08) Ted's Journey into Cardiovascular Training  (10:07) The Importance of Aerobic Base and Zone Training  (21:11) High-Intensity Interval Training Explained  (24:37) Reversing Heart Aging: Key Study Insights  (26:00) Testing Your Aerobic Performance  (28:58) Strength and Cardio: A Balanced Approach  (29:45) Conclusion and Next Episode Preview
