In this dual release episode with The Meat Mafia podcast, I sit down in Austin, Texas, with co-hosts Brett Ender and Harrison Gray for a conversation that goes far beyond fitness and biohacking. You’ll get to explore how I integrate ancestral living with cutting-edge wellness tech—and why, even with all the gear and science, I still believe nature holds the greatest healing power. And of course, we geek out on some of the tools I use—like mouth taping for deeper sleep, red light and hydrogen therapy for recovery, and breathwork paired with prayer to anchor my mind and spirit. This episode is a window into what it means to live not just optimized, but truly boundless—in your health, your family, and your purpose.

​​In this episode, I break down exactly what I do before a CrossFit workout. No powders, no hype—just the simple stuff that works. Hydration, black coffee, a walk with the dog, some sunlight, and a cold plunge to boost performance and focus. This is the exact routine I follow to feel ready—physically and mentally—before I step into the box.

Someone recently told me about a Mayo Clinic researcher who claimed that cold plunging triggers the same chemical response in the body as dying — and that, basically, you die a little every time you do it. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. Apparently, cold plunging is now a near-death experience, and there's “no credible evidence” it offers any benefits. Right. Look, I'm the first to say cold plunging isn't a miracle cure. But this take is just flat-out absurd. So in this episode, I unpack exactly why that claim doesn't hold water, as well as what's really happening when you expose your body to the cold.  The first time I ever stepped into near-freezing water, it was intense. But now? It's mildly uncomfortable at worst. And the benefits I've seen firsthand are impossible to ignore. The reality is that like any hormetic stressor, cold exposure gets easier over time.  You adapt. You become more resilient (mentally and physically). Your tolerance increases, your stress response improves, and you start to notice things like better energy, stronger immunity, and more emotional stability. That's not dying. That's growth. Could you overdo it? Sure. But that's true of anything. Done intelligently, cold plunging is one of the simplest, most accessible tools for building resilience and reclaiming your edge. You don't need a double-blind trial to tell you what your body already knows. So if someone tries to scare you off with talk of “chemical cocktails of death,” ignore the noise. Try it yourself. Start slow. Listen to your body. And maybe — just maybe — don't take cold plunging advice from someone who's never taken a cold shower in their life.

There is lots of discussion in the media about bone health and in this first episode biomechanist Katy Bowman and biologist Jeannette Loram place bone tissue health into a wider context; what really matters is how well the entire skeleton is working—as a system—to support our bodies and our movement. Katy and Jeannette explain how the status of the bone in different parts of your skeleton is a record of the movement you have—and have not done—in the past. They outline Wolff's law, the idea that bone adapts and changes according to the stress and load it experiences throughout a lifetime. They bring this concept to life using examples from populations with distinct movement and bone loading histories ranging from ancient human archers and farmers, through different sporting populations to astronauts. Books Mentioned:Move Your DNA by Katy BowmanOrbital by Samantha Harvey Rethink Your Position by Katy Bowman Research Mentioned: Neolithic Women, Manual Labour and Bone  Cycling and Bone HealthMultidirectional Sport and Running: bone strength  Made Possible by Our Dynamic Collective of Wonderful Sponsors:Smart Playrooms, design and products to keep you and your kids engaged and active at home, take 10% off monkey bars, rock wall panels and holds with code DNA10; Earth Runners, minimalist sandals that mimic being truly barefoot through their grounding technology, take 10% off with code DNA10;  Peluva, Five-toe minimalist sports shoes ideal for higher impact activities, take 15% off with code NUTRITIOUSMOVEMENT; Ikaria Design, creators of the Soul Seat®, a height adjustable chair that allows you to sit in diverse shapes including cross-legged, take 10% of new inventory with code DNA10; Sweet Skins, beautiful organic hemp and cotton clothing that is stylish, flexible and designed to move with you, take 15% off with code DNA15 and Venn Design, beautiful floor cushions and ball seats that keep you moving at home or at the office; Thoughts/questions email us at podcast@nutritiousmovement.comYour Voice on the Podcast: Read The Credits 

Shawn is one of the world’s leading health experts as the bestselling author of Sleep Smarter and host of the #1 rated Model Health Show. The first part of the discussion is about foot functionality. Shawn mentions the emerging research on how minimalist shoes can address the cause of foot dysfunction, “nourishing and rehabilitating our feet.” Then describes the awakening he has experienced using Peluva five-toe minimalist shoes, with increased proprioception and ease of movement. Then the show gets personal, as Shawn describes how his journey to becoming a health leader took shape. Growing up as an athlete in St. Louis, MO, Shawn suffering a serious injury on the running track and discovered that he was severely malnourished and had a degenerative bone disease. With his athletic dreams compromised, he lost hope, endured further suffering that included his mental health and putting on a bunch of excess body fat, and had to start from the bottom to turn his life around. Shawn’s struggle included having to reject mainstream medical treatment and a “poor me” attitude and discover a path to health on his own. Shawn’s grandma gets a huge plug here, and you will be touched by Shawn’s emotional recount of how he turned the corner and truly saved his life. You’ll also learn that Shawn’s malnourished youth was not some bizarre bad luck, but rather the norm in modern life today. Shawn cites research published in JAMA that kids today are eating 70% ultra-processed foods; the situation worsens with low socio-economic conditions. Shawn tells us the main ways we are still screwing up our health, even with lots of great information and awareness today. He urges us to prioritize sleep and take bold steps to optimize health. It starts with controlling your use of digital technology, forming an empowering attitude where you place health #1, creating a winning evening ritual, and more. Shawn Stevenson is the host of the Model Health Show and author of the best-selling books Sleep Smarter and Eat Smarter.

[07:45] When you get into the Peluvas, it is important to start slowly, making sure your feet that have been stuffed into shoes have a chance to adjust. [16:43] At 20 years old, Shawn was diagnosed with degenerative disc disease. [20:00] A 20-year study found that about 68 percent of America's children's diet consists of ultra processed foods. [21:29] Shawn could not imagine spending the rest of his life with the pain he was experiencing, so he began to research for a solution. [25:48] The most overlooked aspects of exercise is that it increases assimilation. [29:03] He began to understand how important his sleep and the proper nutrition are to his recovery. [30:40] Sleep impacts people's nutrition and general health. [36:11] Even though there is much information available for people to be informed on sleep and nutrition, we are still falling behind. [38:54] Shawn has suggested 21 tips for better sleep. One of the most important is the evening habit of being on screens. It interferes with your circadian rhythm and melatonin. [42:24] Having a cool bedroom is very important.

With so many conflicting studies and experts shouting from every corner, it's easy to lose sight of one simple truth: your body knows best. In this episode of the Primal Shift Podcast, I'm calling out the noise around “good” vs. “bad” foods and diving straight into the powerful signals your body sends every time you eat. From unexplained breakouts and weird cravings to stubborn heartburn and crashing energy levels, your physiology is practically begging you to pay attention. We'll explore how issues like bloating, bad breath, headaches, and even mood swings can be early warning signs that a particular food isn't working for you — no matter what the latest scientific study or diet guru claims. Yes, science and ancestral wisdom matter, but they mean little if you feel lousy every time you bite into certain foods. Think of it as detective work: noticing patterns between what you ate and how you slept, how your skin looks, or whether you're getting random joint pain or weird body odor. If you've ever felt guilty because some “healthy” item (like sourdough or raw milk) just doesn't sit right with you, this episode is your permission slip to trust yourself. It's not about demonizing specific foods; it's about becoming so in tune with your body that you can instantly tell the difference between a mild craving and a genuine sign of hunger — or a subtle symptom and a flashing red light. When in doubt, remember: if it doesn't feel good, it probably isn't good for you. Your unique biology is more than just numbers on a lab test or words in a research paper… it's an entire feedback system that never stops working.  So give yourself the freedom to listen, experiment, and (yes) sometimes say no to foods that simply don't serve you.

My guest on today’s show, Maria Ensabella, is the co-author of ReInventing Cool: How to Make COLD Your Best Ally Against Inflammation, Pain, and Aging, written alongside Antra Getzoff. This groundbreaking new book explores how strategic cold exposure can radically transform your health. In this episode, you'll get to explore what really happens when your body is exposed to sub-zero temperatures—and how that intense, brief burst of cold triggers a powerful fight-or-flight response that boosts circulation, oxygenates your blood, flushes out toxins, and floods your system with endorphins. You’ll also learn how these effects can lead to reduced inflammation, faster recovery, and even better mental clarity. Additionally, we'll break down how cryotherapy compares to cold water immersion, answering your burning questions about which method is better for pain relief, inflammation, and overall rejuvenation. Plus, Maria shares practical tips, client stories, and surprising benefits of cold exposure, including its role in improving sleep and reducing stress. Whether you're a seasoned cryotherapy enthusiast or new to the concept of harnessing cold for health benefits, this episode will provide valuable information and leave you inspired to explore the chillier side of health optimization.

To really understand who we are as a running community—What drives us, what connects us, and why we keep pushing our limits, we have to look back. Long before ultras, Strava segments, or finish-line belt buckles, there was pedestrianism—a 19th-century spectacle where athletes raced for six days straight inside smoky arenas, cheered on by thousands. Our resident ultrarunning historian, Davy Crockett, is back to introduce us to one of the most unforgettable figures from that era.  Peter Napoleon Campana—better known as Old Sport.  Davy just published another book, Old Sport Campana: Ultrarunning;s Most Popular and Amusing 19th Century Runner in his historical series that brings  Campana's story to life and helps us explore what it reveals about the roots of our sport—and why looking back just might help us better understand who we are today.

They discuss how Katy's message has sometimes been reduced to exercise is ‘bad' and natural movement is ‘better'.Katy explains that this has never been her position; rather her aim has been to challenge the assumption that the only way to move our bodies is through exercise. Her work has been to expand our framework of human movement and provide a broader understanding of the shapes and volumes of movement required for human health. Katy and Jeannette also address issues raised in the listener's letter about gym culture and sports, noting that many of the negatives are perceived rather than actual or are to do with commercialization. They discuss the ubiquity of team sports across human cultures and the many positives that sport can provide, including natural movements—like throwing and catching—that are hard to get elsewhere in life.  Also in this episode Katy interviews Anna Yona, co-founder of the barefoot shoe company Wildling. Anna shares the origin story of Wildling and their expansion from children's shoes into the adult market. Katy and Anna talk about favourite customer stories, teenage shoe choices and Wildling's most recent venture—a rain boot—filling a much needed niche in the minimal shoe market.

In today’s show, the script is flipped—I’m the one in the hot seat, answering questions instead of asking them. And the setting couldn’t be more powerful: India—a country where ancient wellness practices are part of everyday life, yet there's an undeniable hunger for innovation and cutting-edge health strategies. This conversation, led by Sharad Baid, the Managing Director of Utkal Builders, a leading real estate company based in Bhubaneswar, India, explores the fascinating intersection between traditional healing and modern biohacking. You’ll discover what it really means to take control of your healthspan—not just adding years to your life but adding life to your years. We talk about everything from tweaking your diet for better brain function or muscle gain, to using red light therapy on the road, and even the radical experiments I’ve tried—like full-body stem cell injections and gene therapy. Whether you’re just starting to explore the world of biohacking or you’re deep in the trenches, this episode offers a dynamic, India-inspired lens into what’s possible when tradition and innovation meet.

In my widely-read article about how I cured my IBS symptoms, I recommended against eating eggs in the early stages of gut healing. And I got plenty of pushback for that recommendation. I understand why. Eggs are hailed as nature's perfect superfood, have been a dietary staple for centuries, and their nutrient-packed yolks truly are nutritional powerhouses.  But not all parts of the egg are created equal, and the whites might be secretly sabotaging your digestion. In this episode, I break down the real differences between egg yolks and whites, explaining why those trendy egg-white omelets are basically plates full of nutritional trash. I also explain why some of the proteins in egg whites can trigger gut issues — especially if you're prone to IBS or bloating — and share practical advice on choosing and preparing eggs to optimize digestion and nutrient absorption. Plus, I'll give you the inside scoop from our own experience raising chickens on our homestead. You'll learn why pasture-raised hens that are fed a true omnivore diet produce eggs with superior nutrient density, and how cooking your eggs the right way can make all the difference for your health. If you've ever struggled with digestive issues after enjoying eggs, this episode could crack open the solution you've been looking for.

For decades, beef has been painted as the villain on our plates, blamed for heart disease, cancer, climate change, obesity, and even poor digestion. But have you ever stopped to question if these claims are backed by solid science, or are simply myths repeated often enough that they've become “common knowledge?” In this eye-opening episode of the Primal Shift Podcast, we're cutting straight to the facts about beef, debunking one myth at a time. Is beef really clogging arteries, causing cancer, and leading to environmental ruin? Or is the true culprit hiding in plain sight: the processed carbs and ultra-processed foods often served alongside a juicy steak? We also dive into popular beliefs about vegetarian longevity, cholesterol fears, and even those trendy plant-based burgers that are being pushed everywhere you look. Spoiler alert: nature already perfected nutrient density, and it's not found in highly-processed patties or lab-grown proteins. The truth is, beef can be one of your strongest nutritional allies, supporting metabolic health, lean muscle growth and overall vitality. And when cattle are raised properly, beef production doesn't harm the environment — it actually helps restore ecosystems and sequester carbon, becoming part of the climate solution rather than the problem. So next time you're told to swap your steak for quinoa or a lab-made burger, take a closer look at the facts and enjoy that ribeye without guilt. Join us as we dismantle decades of misinformation about beef, reclaiming our plates, our health, and even our planet. Stay primal, friends.

What drives us to venture into the unknown—even when there's no finish line or prize at the end? In this episode of Trail Runner Nation, we sit down with author and science journalist Alex Hutchinson to explore the ideas behind his new book, The Explorer's Gene: Why we Seek Big Challenges, New Flavors, and the Blank Spots on the Map. From ancient Polynesian voyages to backyard adventures with his kids, Alex uncovers how the drive to explore is deeply rooted in both our biology and our upbringing. We discuss how exploration shapes personal growth, why uncertainty triggers our motivation, and how everyday choices can satisfy our innate desire for discovery.  Make sure you have his award-winning book, Endure: Mind, Body, and the Curiously Elastic Limits of Human Performance, which explores the boundaries of human potential on your reading list.

If you're like most people, you've probably experienced times in your life when you just couldn't find the motivation to exercise. Whether it's a lack of time or energy or dealing with feelings like embarrassment or body image issues, experiencing mental blocks that stop you from exercising is a common occurrence. On this episode of The Model Health Show, Dr. Diana Hill and Katy Bowman are here to discuss their new book, I Know I Should Exercise, But… Their book is a powerful guide to understanding the psychology of aligning your actions with your values. We're going to discuss some of the most common roadblocks keeping people from adding movement into their day, and how to overcome them. You're going to learn about the powerful principle of psychological flexibility, how to stack movement into your existing routines, and how to reframe some of the most common barriers that hold people back from moving their bodies. Changing the way you think about movement can add so much value, joy, and self-compassion into your life, and I hope that's what you take away from this interview. Enjoy!    In this episode you'll discover:  How our environments can stifle our movement.   The psychology behind not exercising.   Why your phone can act as a movement disruptor.   What psychological flexibility is.   How identifying your values can help you overcome obstacles.   What the biggest predictor of change is in psychology research.   The definition of time affluence, and how to find more time in your day.  How to utilize stacking to add more movement into you routine.   Why recognizing paradoxes can help you move more.   The power of asking “so what?”   How to find an exercise that works for you when you feel burnt out.   Why light activity can actually give you energy.   How to use your values to identify your motivation.   The importance of optimizing your environment to facilitate more movement.   Why you should give yourself permission to move your body.  How to overcome embarrassment.   Strategies for connecting with others, and the value in sharing your capacity.  What urge surfing is.   Why moving your mindset is a powerful strategy.   Items mentioned in this episode include:  Peluva.com/model -- Get 15% off barefoot shoes with my code MODEL!   Piquelife.com/model -- Get exclusive savings on bundles & subscriptions!   I Know I Should Exercise, But… by Dr. Diana Hill & Katy Bowman -- Get your copy of the new book today!   The Joy of Movement by Dr. Kelly McGonigal -- Read about finding meaning through movement!   Connect with Dr. Diana Hill Website / Facebook / Instagram   Connect with Katy Bowman Website / Facebook / Instagram   Be sure you are subscribed to this podcast to automatically receive your episodes:   Apple Podcasts  Spotify  Soundcloud  Pandora  YouTube   This episode of The Model Health Show is brought to you by Peluva and Pique.

We like to think we can bend the rules when it comes to our sleep routine — for instance, by sleeping in after staying up late. And it's true that sometimes that practice can leave us feeling just fine. But just because your body adapts to a late-night routine doesn't mean it thrives on one. Sleep isn't just about getting enough hours; it's about getting them at the right time. And if you're pushing your bedtime later and later, you could be sacrificing the most restorative phases of sleep without even realizing it.  Most of your deep sleep — the phase responsible for tissue repair, immune function, and growth hormone release — happens early in the night. This is when your body does its heavy lifting, repairing muscles, consolidating memories, and strengthening the immune system. Push your bedtime back and you're cutting into the sleep that helps you recover and perform at your peak. And sleeping in the next morning won't fully compensate for what you lost. So what about night owls? Some people swear they function better late at night. But is that biological, or just a habit? Evolutionary research suggests that in early human tribes, it made sense for some members to stay up later to keep watch while others slept. But just because a small percentage of the population may be wired to stay up later doesn't mean modern habits like staring at screens late into the night, artificial lighting and erratic schedules aren't making the problem worse. The truth is, your circadian rhythm is designed to sync with natural light. Morning sunlight tells your body it's time to be awake and alert, while darkness in the evening signals the release of melatonin to prepare for sleep. When you ignore this cycle — whether by choice or necessity — you risk everything from poor recovery to hormone imbalances to sluggish metabolism and increased stress. So how do you reset your internal clock? Small, practical shifts make all the difference. Get outside first thing in the morning for at least 10 minutes of natural light. Cut back on screen exposure at night or wear blue light-blocking glasses if you must use devices. Instead of forcing yourself into an earlier bedtime all at once, shift it gradually — 15 minutes at a time — so your body can adjust naturally. These minor tweaks can lead to massive improvements in energy levels, mental clarity and metabolic health. If you've been struggling with grogginess, inconsistent sleep, or just want to optimize your recovery and performance, this episode will give you the tools to align your sleep with how your body was meant to function.  Learn more: Primal Shift Podcast #14: Do THIS for Better Sleep: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V72_fDrm_vI   Learn why you might have trouble falling asleep: https://michaelkummer.com/health/cant-fall-asleep/   Learn how to sleep better and fall asleep quicker: https://michaelkummer.com/health/sleep-guide/  Thank you to this episode's sponsor, Peluva!

What's better for longevity—running or walking?It's a bit of a trick question.But if there is one answer, it's definitely walking.If you want to be fit and live for a long time, you don't need to subject yourself to suffer fests and slog through long runs.In fact, when you combine daily walks with the habit of sprinting just about once a week, magic starts to happen.

Longevity isn't just about living a longer duration – it's about ensuring that you are healthy, mobile, and functional into your later years. And if you want to be healthy and vibrant when you're older, you've got to train for that goal now. Today, you're going to learn about important markers of longevity that you can measure for yourself. On today's show, we're going to go through three fitness and mobility tests you can do to measure your overall health. These three fitness tests are backed by research, easy to conduct at home, and most importantly, can be improved upon if you're not satisfied with your results. You're going to learn the science behind why your balance, walking speed, and your ability to get up and down from the floor can tell you a lot about your health. I'm also going to be sharing actionable steps you can use to get stronger, improve your mobility, and increase your chances of a long and healthy life. Enjoy!  In this episode you'll discover: What the gait speed test is and how to do it. What your gait can tell you about your lifespan. The connection between gait speed and muscle function. How to improve your gait. Why walking is considered a wonder drug. The link between steps per day and testosterone levels. What the minimum effective dose of walking is. Why spending time barefoot is good for your health. The health benefits of walking backwards. How to do the single-leg balance test. Why falls can be so dangerous for the elderly. How to improve your balance. Why big toe strength is actually an indicator of longevity. What the sit-and-rise test is. How to improve your mobility. The benefits of sitting on the floor.   Items mentioned in this episode include:  Peluva.com/model - Get 15% off barefoot shoes with the code MODEL Themodelhealthshow.com/longevitytest - Get videos of the longevity tests, charts to see where your performance is at, longevity resources, and more!

Testosterone is the engine of vitality and the foundation of muscle growth, energy, focus and resilience. Unfortunately, modern life can make it hard to maintain optimal levels, due to factors like poor diet, chronic stress and environmental toxins that can disrupt production at every step of the process. In this episode, we break down how testosterone is made, including why nutrient-dense foods (especially those rich in cholesterol, zinc, and Vitamin D) are critical, and how deficiencies in these key building blocks can tank your levels of this vital hormone. But diet isn't the only factor. Poor sleep, excess body fat and exposure to synthetic estrogens from plastics and tap water all play a role in lowering T. We discuss how stress drives up cortisol, which directly suppresses testosterone production, and why lifestyle choices — like tight clothing and prolonged heat exposure — can further sabotage your hormones. More importantly, we cover practical, science-backed strategies to optimize testosterone naturally. That includes getting high-quality sleep, lifting heavy weights, spending time in the sun, and keeping your testes cool. We also dive into why pre-cooling before exercise can give your testosterone a major boost, and why avoiding plastics and chemical-laden personal care products matters more than you think. If you want to go even deeper, check out episodes 32 and 65, where we explore the downsides of testosterone replacement therapy and why T levels influence your ability to take on hard challenges. Testosterone production is complex, but small, consistent changes can make a massive impact. Tune in to learn how to take control of your hormones and build a lifestyle that supports optimal performance.
