Most people assume eight hours of uninterrupted sleep is the biological default. It isn't. For the vast majority of human history, people slept in two distinct phases — waking naturally in the middle of the night for prayer, reflection, and quiet work before returning to sleep until dawn. In this episode, we explore what ancestral sleep patterns actually looked like, what the science says about biphasic and split sleep, and why your 3 AM wake-up might not be insomnia. We also break down ultradian rhythms, the overlooked biology behind your afternoon energy crash, and two practical sleep templates you can apply to a modern schedule. Your sleep doesn't need to be fixed. It might just need to be understood.

Mark sits down with Joel Greene to unpack the sugar diet—why it can work short-term (hello, glycolysis), what it may shift long-term (gut taxa + immune cell metabolism), and why the body isn't a “static machine.” They also hit insulin sensitivity, keto/carnivore blind spots, the “calorie is a calorie” debate, and why rhythms/pulses beat doing the same thing daily.Special perks for our listeners below!

Most people think of a knee injury as a knee problem. You tear something, you rehab it, you move on. But the science tells a very different story — one where a single traumatic injury quietly drives cartilage degradation, cardiovascular impairment, and systemic inflammation for decades after the initial damage has "healed." I got a firsthand look at this when an MRI revealed two meniscus tears, a split MCL, and early-onset osteoarthritis in my left knee. That last one was humbling. I always assumed osteoarthritis happened to other people — older, less active people. Not someone who squats heavy and trains consistently. In this episode, Forrest Smith — CEO and Co-founder of Kineon Labs, a health technology company specializing in targeted red light and laser therapy devices — returns for his third appearance on the podcast. And the picture he paints of what happens inside an injured joint long after the rehab is over is sobering. For example, the NFL tracked over 3,500 players who'd returned to competition after knee injuries and found chronic inflammation still present 10 to 20 years later, despite world-class rehab.  Notably, the quads on the players' injured side ran one to two degrees colder, a sign of impaired cardiovascular delivery. And the risk of major cardiovascular events jumped by 50% – not because of the original injury, but because of inflammation that never resolved. That's the cycle most people don't know they're stuck in. And it's where laser-based photobiomodulation changes the equation. Targeted 808nm lasers can drop inflammatory markers like TNF-alpha and IL-6 by 70 to 85% within days. Once that chronic degradation slows down, chondroblasts — the fast-growing front end of cartilage — can actually proliferate and begin rebuilding the extracellular matrix. Slow the destruction on one side, accelerate the biology on the other. That's what "regrowing cartilage" actually means. Penetration depth is what makes lasers fundamentally different from LEDs. At five to seven centimeters of reach, you're dosing 10 to 100 times more tissue volume than a surface-level panel can touch. Then there's the other side of this that almost nobody talks about: the ibuprofen your doctor hands you after surgery. Research shows that 90 days of use increases heart attack risk by 48%, heart failure by 35%, and major coronary events by 75% — while actively impairing the collagen and fibroblast function your body needs to heal. It's doing the exact opposite of what most people assume. If you've ever dealt with a joint injury, chronic inflammation, or just assumed over-the-counter painkillers were harmless, this one's worth your time. About Forrest Smith: Co-Founder and CEO of Kineon, a health-tech leader who spent 18 years in China building hardware startups and mastering the local supply chain. A lifelong athlete and CrossFit enthusiast, he founded Kineon after developing a portable, medical-grade laser device to treat his own chronic knee pain.  Website: https://kineon.io/blogs/authors/forrest-smith  [Discount Code] Use code MKUMMERMOVE for 10% off the Kineon Move+ Pro:  https://michaelkummer.com/go/kineon Learn more: Kineon Move+ Pro Review: https://michaelkummer.com/kineon-move-plus-review/ Benefits of Red Light Therapy for Joint Pain and Arthritis: https://michaelkummer.com/red-light-therapy-for-joints/  Thank you to this episode's sponsor, Peluva!

We talk with Dr. Scott Sherr rto talk health optimization from the practical to the “hold up… what?” level.We get into light and red light therapy, mitochondria and metabolism, nitric oxide (and why mouthwash can wreck it), the “toxic bucket” concept for modern exposures, EMF/5G concerns and mitigation, and why environment matters more than most people think.Then we go deeper: psychedelics, default mode network, ketamine and integration, marijuana risks for younger users, and how perspective and nervous system regulation can change the game for recovery, sleep, and performance.Special perks for our listeners below!

Most people assume they're eating well when they go out by choosing the "right" food categories: eggs instead of pancakes, salmon instead of a burger, salad instead of fries. But once food leaves your kitchen, categories matter far less than sourcing, fats and preparation. Restaurants are optimized for speed, consistency and profit. That usually means seed oils are used for cooking, sauces and dressings; that produce isn't organic; that poultry is low quality; and that most seafood is farmed. In other words, even meals that seem responsible on paper are often cooked in oxidized fats and paired with ingredients that quietly drive inflammation. In this episode, I explain why those hidden variables matter more than what's listed on the menu — and why even well-intentioned choices can work against you when food is prepared in an environment that was never designed to support your health. The real issue isn't an occasional meal out. It's how these small exposures compound over time. You don't feel it after one dinner — you feel it after years. And by then, most people blame the wrong things: carbs, protein, or entire food groups, when the real problem was never what they were eating but how it was being prepared. So what can you actually do about it? The most effective solution isn't exciting: when you know you'll be away from home, bring food with you. A lunchbox with leftover meat, eggs, fruit and simple whole foods beats a restaurant salad almost every time — and travels far better than most people expect. When eating out is unavoidable, the goal is to choose foods that are harder to mess up: plain red meat, simply cooked eggs, burger patties without sauces, and meals prepared with butter or olive oil when available.  Ironically, foods with a "health halo" — salads, grain bowls, plant-heavy dishes — often perform the worst once dressings and industrial oils become involved. This isn't about fear or perfection. It's about being realistic. You can't outsource your health to systems that were never designed for it. Cooking at home and controlling how your food is prepared remains the most reliable way to protect your long-term health.

It's not about what you're doing in the decade you're in, it's about what those habits turn into in the next one. In this conversation we get into why we're leaning harder into relative strength and athletic movement (high-volume calisthenics, hangs, pull-ups, push-up variations, sandbags, sled work, reaction drills, rope flow, tennis balls, and even bouldering) without abandoning the basics of strength training. We talk about how coordination is trainable, why expanding your “movement vocabulary” can carry over into sport and everyday life, and how staying capable as you age comes down to building skills that keep you confident, reactive, and durable. Plus: insane feats of strength and speed making the rounds online, strongman grip madness, and why the goal isn't just being strong once, but being strong, mobile, and useful for decades.Special perks for our listeners below!

Most nutrition debates revolve around the wrong questions: Should we eat vegetables or not? Grains or no grains? Animal-based or plant-based? But as I discuss in this episode, framing nutrition solely by food categories overlooks the single most crucial factor: food quality.  Modern debates often miss that eggs aren't simply eggs, grains aren't just grains, and vegetables aren't uniformly nutritious. The way food is grown, raised, processed, and prepared makes an enormous difference — far greater than the simplified categories we typically argue about. I had this realization vividly when comparing an airport lounge breakfast in Atlanta to one in Norway. On the surface, both offered similar categories of foods – eggs, meat, fruit, yogurt — but the underlying reality was starkly different. One was laden with industrial additives, pesticides and inflammatory oils, while the other represented cleaner sourcing and superior quality. In practical terms, I've learned it's often simpler to cut out entire food groups than to consistently source high-quality versions within them.  Avoiding grains or poultry entirely can sometimes yield better health outcomes than struggling to find properly raised, chemical-free options.  Real health doesn't live in nutrition dogma but in understanding nuance. The same food can either support your metabolic health or quietly undermine it, entirely depending on how it was produced.  In other words, sometimes quality matters more than category. At the Kummer Household, we center our diet around animal-based foods — ideally raised ourselves or sourced from trusted farmers — and selectively incorporate plant-based options we've grown ourselves. Tune in to shift your nutritional focus from "which foods to eat" to the far more critical question: "where did this food come from, and what's in it?"

Today we get into what “training like an athlete” actually means: producing force, absorbing force, and reapplying it under time pressure, at weird angles, often on one leg. We break down reactive training (ball drops, unpredictable catches, changing stances), why people get hurt when everything is planned, and how open-skill work can build real-world durability.We also get into movement quality vs “just lifting,” fascia and flow training, foot and ankle strength, jump rope and pogo hops for low-cost athleticism, and why sometimes the best move for performance is subtraction, not more work. Plus: EMF talk, red light glasses, and the eternal quest to become “the best runner who's squatted 1,000.”Special perks for our listeners below!

She is currently working on a documentary about Sex, Menopause, and Gender Equality called HOT! In this episode, Tara and Dr. Maria Sophocles unpack the bedroom gap by exploring how physiology, hormones, shame, religion, porn culture, relationship dynamics, and communication issues all interact to block women's libido and pleasure, while offering practical strategies like self-pleasure, better sex education, hormone support, and intentional intimacy to rebuild desire and connection at any age.  RESOURCES: Learn more about Dr. Sophocles here: https://mariasophoclesmd.com Her viral TED talk with 1.2M+ views: https://www.ted.com/talks/maria_sophocles_what_happens_to_sex_in_midlife_a_look_at_the_bedroom_gap?language=en  Instagram: @mariasophoclesmd Pre-order her book The Bedroom Gap on Amazon here: https://amzn.to/48X1XYk  Watch her previous podcast episode on Inside Out Health Podcast: https://www.taragarrison.com/blog/drsophocles  Get 15% off Peluva minimalist shoe with coupon code COACHTARA here: http://peluva.com/coachtara CHAPTERS: 00:00 Intro 00:05:05 – An open, no‑holding‑back conversation about sex, libido, and midlife.

Every five years, the U.S. dietary guidelines get updated. Usually, that update triggers some mix of frustration, disbelief and déjà vu. This time was different… not because the guidelines suddenly got human nutrition right, but because they moved slightly closer to reality. There's finally more emphasis on whole foods and less on ultra-processed junk. The old grain-heavy food pyramid has effectively been flipped. That alone is meaningful progress. If someone followed these guidelines instead of the Standard American Diet, they'd likely see improvements in weight, blood sugar and overall metabolic health. But "better than before" isn't the same as optimal. In this episode, I walk through what the new guidelines get right, and where they still fall short – especially for people who care about metabolic health, fertility, pregnancy, breastfeeding and raising resilient kids. One major issue is immediately evident: nutrient density and bioavailability are largely ignored.  The pyramid's Vitamin A recommendations focus on plant sources that require conversion, while the most reliable sources — animal foods like liver, eggs and dairy — are absent from the conversation.  Meanwhile, protein sources are treated as interchangeable, even though amino acid profiles, micronutrients, and absorption differ dramatically between animal and plant foods. Dairy is included, but without meaningful context around processing methods and individual tolerance. Baby formula is framed as an "alternative" to breast milk, without acknowledging the trade-offs. Fruits and vegetables are encouraged "throughout the day," quietly endorsing constant snacking while ignoring metabolic rest. None of this is accidental. These guidelines are political compromises more than they're based on physiological reality. They're designed to be broadly acceptable, not metabolically precise. The takeaway isn't to blindly reject the guidelines — it's to treat them as a starting point, not a finish line. Real health requires understanding food quality, preparation, sourcing, and context — not just categories on a chart. This episode is about learning where to think for yourself, where nuance matters, and why trusting labels or authority without questioning incentives has never been a winning strategy.

With injuries piling up in professional sports, especially the NFL, some are asking if stadiums, substations, and modern electrical environments are silently affecting recovery, hydration, and connective tissue.Is this just conspiracy talk, or is there real science behind it?We dig into EMF exposure at practice facilities, how electromagnetic fields interact with cellular water, why tendons and ligaments might be more vulnerable, and what everyday people can actually do to protect themselves.Special perks for our listeners below!

In this episode, Mark unpacks one of the most important lessons in training and in life: just because you can do something doesn't mean you should. He explains why always pushing harder isn't always smarter, how “training smart” can sometimes become a disguise for avoiding discomfort, and where the real line is between growth and self-sabotage. Drawing from decades of powerlifting, coaching, sprinting, and personal experience, Mark breaks down how to think about risk, recovery, ego, intuition, and long-term progress so you can keep improving without burning yourself into the ground.He shares stories about Donny Thompson, Louie Simmons, Stan Efferding, Ryan Spencer, and others to illustrate how strength really works, why it's driven by the nervous system as much as the muscles, and why stimulation beats annihilation if you want to stay strong, fast, and healthy for the long run. This is a conversation about developing better judgment in your training, knowing when to push, when to pull back, and how to build a body that performs well not just this year, but for decades to come.Special perks for our listeners below!

In this episode, Tara debunks common myths about cortisol, reframing it as an essential energy-mobilizing hormone rather than just a stress villain. She addresses fears around fasted HIIT training potentially causing fat gain, exhaustion, or hormonal disruption—especially in perimenopause—emphasizing that acute cortisol spikes are normal and issues often stem from broader factors like underfueling, poor recovery, and life stress. Tara also covers misconceptions about breakfast timing, supplement use without testing, and assuming symptoms like burnout always mean high cortisol, advocating for proper testing and personalized approaches.    RESOURCES: Learn more about Tara here: http://taragarrison.com Instagram: @coachtaragarrison @higher.coaching @insideouthealthpodcast Get 15% off Peluva minimalist shoe with coupon code COACHTARA here: http://peluva.com/coachtara   CHAPTERS: 00:00 – Intro: Addressing common cortisol myths and misconceptions circulating online 01:02 – Sponsorship mention (Peluva minimalist shoes) 02:54 – Overview of cortisol testing (DUTCH Plus and saliva tests vs. blood tests) 04:05 – Myth 1: Fasted training (like HIIT) causes dangerously high cortisol, leading to fat gain 12:05 – Myth 2: Fasted HIIT universally "wrecks" hormones (e.g., sex hormones). 20:28 – Myth 3: Symptoms like stress, burnout, and weight loss resistance always mean high cortisol. 26:22 – Myth 4: Using supplements to "balance" cortisol without testing. 31:38 – Myth 5: You must eat breakfast within the first hour of waking to prevent cortisol spikes. 42:30 – Nuance/avoiding oversimplified advice   WORK WITH ME: Are You Looking for Help on Your Wellness Journey?

Anger feels powerful, but it's usually expensive. In this episode, we break down why rage pulls people in the wrong direction, how “comment anger” and road rage sneak into everyday life, and why staying at baseline is a real skill you can train.We talk about how anger becomes a habit, how it quietly eats away at your focus and relationships, and why trying to reason with irrational behavior often makes things worse instead of better. We also explore equanimity, the idea of staying at baseline, and why real strength isn't about domination or reaction, but about control.If you've ever wanted to throw your phone into the ocean, explode over a small inconvenience, or get pulled into internet arguments, this is a reminder that you always have a choice. You can react, or you can respond.Calm isn't weakness. It's power.Subscribe for more on strength, mindset, and building a sharper life.

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.

In this episode, Rob Wilson breaks down how breathing, stress, and performance are actually connected and why breathwork isn't a shortcut around hard work, but a way to make hard work more sustainable.We talk about CO₂ tolerance, why panic is usually carbon dioxide and not lack of oxygen, and how high-performing athletes, fighters, and military operators can recover faster between efforts by changing how they breathe under stress.Rob explains why breathwork isn't a one-size-fits-all solution, why capacity still matters, and how coaches should adapt tools to the culture, goals, and environment of the people they're working with. We also get into nasal breathing, heart rate recovery, conditioning mistakes, jiu-jitsu, sandbags, valsalva vs breathing with load, and how intensity can sometimes be used to hide psychology.Along the way, things take a turn into AI books, Morning Glory Milking Farm, and how to “sound less fat” when you're out of shape.This episode is about making hard things easier without avoiding hard things.Follow Rob:https://www.instagram.com/thecheckenginelight/https://www.wilsonhealthandperformance.com/CHAPTERS:00:00 - Intro00:52 - Morning Glory Milking Farm05:48 - Breath Work for Different Populations13:02 - Benefits of Nasal Breathing16:08 - Nasal Breathing Techniques18:30 - Breathing as a Superpower25:28 - CO2 Tolerance in Breathing26:18 - Efficient Breathing Strategies27:47 - Managing Breathing Costs and Reserves31:07 - Body pH Regulation and Breathing38:34 - Methylene Blue Overview43:25 - Importance of Diaphragmatic Breathing52:39 - Free Diving Techniques1:00:00 - Effects of Nasal Breathing1:02:49 - Breathing and Weightlifting1:04:10 - Breathing and Force Production1:11:24 - Good Life Proteins: Quality Meat1:17:00 - Tips to Sound Less Fat1:22:34 - Understanding 1+11:25:30 - Inspiratory Muscle Trainers Discussion1:29:56 - Where to Find BrianSpecial perks for our listeners below!

In today's Saturday School, Mark Bell breaks down one of the most important lessons in training and in life:You're going to look awkward before you ever get good.You're going to feel insecure.
