In this episode, neuroscientist and U.S. Army sleep expert Dr. Allison Brager joins Anders Varner, Doug Larson, and Travis Mash to explore the real science behind sleep, recovery, and wearable technology. They discuss which devices actually deliver useful data, such as the Oura Ring for sleep tracking and Garmin for cardiovascular measurements, and why being consistent with one tool is more important than chasing perfect accuracy. Dr. Brager explains how wearables are now being used in place of sleep labs in both clinical and military settings to help athletes and operators make better recovery decisions. The conversation dives into practical ways to improve sleep and recovery for anyone pushing performance limits. Dr. Brager describes how sleep apnea can affect even lean, muscular athletes, with studies showing that more than half of Division I football players meet criteria for sleep apnea or insomnia. Just three nights of only five hours of sleep can cut testosterone levels in half. The group also discusses how vagus nerve stimulation, infrared light therapy, and temperature-controlled mattresses such as Eight Sleep can help the body relax, lower stress, and improve sleep quality, especially when used before bed or after long travel. They close by breaking down real-world strategies for recovery and training. Short 20- to 30-minute naps during the afternoon improve alertness, and caffeine can be used strategically during travel to reduce fatigue. Training is most effective when aligned with the body's circadian rhythm, with evening workouts often producing better strength results, while morning training can work after a few months of adjustment. Whether you are a soldier, athlete, or business leader, this episode is about using data, structure, and recovery habits to perform better and stay healthy over the long term. Outside of the laboratory, Allison was a two-time CrossFit Games (team) athlete, a two-time CrossFit Regionals (individual) athlete, and a four-year varsity NCAA Division I athlete in track and field.

Send us a textYour postpartum clients aren't just "busy"—they're breaking down. Here's the truth your assessments are missing: The invisible mental load is a chronic state of cognitive overload that's hijacking her body. This isn't a failure of willpower; it's a physiological response to chronic stress that causes everything from unexplained anxiety and low milk supply to pelvic pain and insomnia. Maranda reveals how this unacknowledged cognitive burden triggers the HPA axis, shuts down nervous system regulation, and creates a cascade of physical symptoms. Every postpartum provider—from lactation consultants to functional health experts—must recognize this root cause. Stop treating the symptoms (the fatigue, the rage, the anxiety) and start addressing the overload. Learn the red flags and the Postpartum Restoration Method framework to deliver the lasting solutions your clients desperately need.Check out the episode on the blog HERE: https://postpartumu.com/podcast/the-invisible-mental-load-why-mothers-are-breaking-down-ep-238/Key time stamps: 1:03 -  Defining The Invisible Mental Load & The Shocking Case of Low Milk Supply3:33 - The Physiology of Cognitive Overload: HPA Axis and Systemic Effects6:53 - Clinical Patterns Providers Miss: The Hyper-Vigilant Manager, Overwhelmed Perfectionist, and Depleted Default Parent9:37 - Pelvic Floor Tension & The Bonding "Disconnection"22:15 - The Red Flags and "Better Questions" for Assessment NEXT STEPS:

What are the parallels between an NFL player and your average golfer? More than you might think. Recently, NFL legend Jason Kelce asked himself a simple question: Could I still complete an NFL workout now that I'm retired? The result was a humbling reminder that even elite athletes lose strength, speed and capability if they stop training for the demands of their sport.And the truth is, the same principle applies to you and your golf game. If you want to generate rotational power, control the clubface, maintain mobility and swing consistently, you have to train those physical capabilities with purpose. Your body adapts to what you do most often — stop challenging it, and it stops being ready to perform.“Use it or lose it” isn't just a phrase — it's physiology. And if you're serious about improving, staying strong and playing your best golf for years to come, that commitment to consistent movement, strength, and intention is how you truly Own Your SSWING.Mentions in this episode:Can Jason Kelce still do an NFL workoutScott Young with the NYU Golf Lab on ABC NewsShop SSWING Swag

Nobel in Medicine for a leash on our immune systemOur immune system has enormous power to defend us against the wide range of pathogens and invaders that nature sends at us. But it's a double-edged sword, and can target its powerful weapons against us as well. This year's Nobel prize in Medicine or Physiology went to a group who discovered a critical mechanism that keeps the immune system in check, under normal circumstances, giving them new insights into the diseases that occur when it goes wrong.Yogurt with a creepy-crawly secret ingredientA team of researchers has duplicated an ancient recipe for yogurt that uses a unique ingredient to initiate fermentation: ants. They added squished ants to fresh milk, buried it in an anthill to incubate it, and enjoyed zesty yogurt soon after. A microbiological analysis showed that the ants contributed a bacteria to the yogurt that is also present in sourdough starter.An ancestor of the largest dinosaurs was a dog-sized bipedResearchers have discovered a 230 million year old fossil high in the Andes of Argentina that is the precursor to the giant, long-necked sauropod dinosaurs like the iconic brontosaurus. This animal, however, is a two-legged herbivore that likely weighed less than 20 kilograms.Nobel in Physics for making particles ghostlyQuantum tunneling is a strange phenomenon in which subatomic particles can pass through apparently impenetrable objects like magic. This year's Nobel prize in physics was awarded to a team that discovered that this strange quantum phenomena can happen on larger scales too, and this has been exploited in all sorts of modern technology, including quantum computers.Neanderthals systematically rendered fat from animal bonesScientists think that the fragmented bones of hundreds of animals discovered at a neanderthal site in Germany represent the remains of a large-scale processing site where they extracted nutritious and useful fat. This could be used for a range of things, from skin protection to preserving meat similar to pemmican.Moose are hot. Are they bothered?During the fall rut moose, particularly the males, are very active searching for mates and competing with rivals. This activity generates a large amount of heat, which could be a problem as moose don't sweat. Scientists are investigating if, in a warmer climate, this might be interfering with their reproductive success.

Broadcast from KSQD, Santa Cruz on 10-16-2025: Dr. Dawn explains the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physiology awarded to Shimon Sakaguchi, Mary Brunkow, and Fred Ramsdell for discovering T regulatory cells. Previously, medical teaching held that the thymus only eliminated self-attacking T cells, but Sakaguchi found that removing the thymus from newborn mice caused autoimmune disease, suggesting protective regulatory cells existed. He identified CD4+CD25+ cells that suppress inflammation and can convert other T cells. Brunkow and Ramsdell discovered the FOXP3 gene that controls these cells, linking mutations to severe autoimmune diseases like IPEX syndrome. Tissue-specific Tregs regulate metabolism in fat, maintain gut microbiome tolerance, promote wound healing in skin, and control muscle regeneration. Therapeutic applications include stopping type 1 diabetes, preventing organ rejection, and treating multiple sclerosis. An emailer asks about a study linking soft drinks to depression through gut bacteria changes. Dr. Dawn critiques the cohort association study for establishing only correlation, not causation, with a weak risk ratio of 1.1 representing just 10% increased association. She explains that bacteria can influence food cravings, making it unclear whether sodas change bacteria levels or bacteria drive soda consumption. Without Koch's postulates—isolating bacteria, growing them, and reproducing disease—the causal direction remains uncertain despite statistical significance. Dr. Dawn reads David Whyte's essay on injury as invitation to transformation, exploring how pain reveals vulnerability, changes identity, requires patience, and teaches compassion. She notes this perspective may come easier to men who reach midlife believing they control their bodies, while menstruation disabuses women of that illusion earlier. As a physician, she emphasizes the ego crisis when people transition from healthy to "person with disease," requiring identity restructuring that can shake foundations but also mature and strengthen individuals. A caller responds enthusiastically to the injury essay, citing quotes from André Gide, James Hillman, and Norman O. Brown about how illness opens doors to reality closed to healthy mindedness, how the soul sees through affliction, and how vulnerability is inherent to being human. Dr. Dawn agrees that many religions embrace wounds as paths to spiritual enlightenment and commits to deeper reflection on suffering's role in the human condition. Dr. Dawn discusses cognitive functional therapy for chronic back pain, describing firefighter Joe Lawrence who believed his spine was irreparably damaged until physical therapist Peter O'Sullivan challenged those beliefs. The therapy addresses psychological aspects by teaching that backs need movement, not protection, and that tensing muscles worsens pain. The three-step approach examines pain origins including emotional context, gradually reintroduces avoided activities while learning relaxation, and establishes healthy sleep and exercise routines. GLP-1 drug prices have dropped dramatically to $499 monthly at Costco due to compounding pharmacy competition. Dr. Dawn urges immunizations, noting studies show shingles vaccination reduces dementia risk by 20% over seven years, possibly by generating T regulatory cells that reduce brain inflammation. Natural experiments in England where vaccine rollout occurred at different times in different regions provided strong evidence. She explains that chickenpox vaccination in childhood prevents both chickenpox and future shingles. Even tetanus shots appear to lower dementia risk, suggesting vaccines activate immune responses that reduce chronic inflammation. She concludes with practical advice to reduce microplastic exposure by avoiding plastic cups and containers, especially with heat. Eight-year-old coffee makers contain twice the microplastics of six-month-old machines due to deterioration. She recommends ceramic cups, glass or metal kettles, removing food from plastic before cooking, and washing polyester clothing on low heat to minimize microplastic generation.

In Part Two of my conversation, with Professor Jeremy Jamieson we explore the fascinating dynamics of stress and resilience, specifically emphasising the roles parents can play in helping their children grow up resilient and strong. We discuss the importance of fostering a positive relationship with stress and understanding the biological and psychological factors that play into this often misunderstood aspect of life. What You'll Learn: Understanding Stress: Discover how stress functions as a natural response and how it can be beneficial rather than detrimental. Challenge vs. Threat Mindsets: Learn why perceiving stress as a challenge rather than a threat can completely alter the physiological response. Parenting Techniques for Resilience: Get insights into how parents can prepare their children for life's challenges by encouraging them to tackle difficult situations head-on. Key Takeaways: Stress is Not the Enemy: Stress, when approached properly, can be a tool for growth and resilience rather than a harmful force. It’s about perception and management. Parents as Guides, Not Rescuers: Instead of removing obstacles for your children, teach them to navigate these challenges. Encourage them to be proactive and resilient. Develop a Toolbox for Stress Management: Different situations require different responses—having a flexible approach to managing stress is crucial. The Role of Physiology in Stress: Understanding and managing physiological responses through activities such as regular exercise, sleep hygiene, and possibly cold immersion sessions can help in dealing with stress effectively. Importance of a Healthy Lifestyle: Adequate sleep, nutrition, and limiting technology use can have profound impacts on mental health, influencing stress levels and resilience capacity.

Santiago Ramón y Cajal, awarded the 1906 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, is often called the “father of modern neuroscience.” Using only a microscope and his extraordinary artistic skills, he revealed that the brain is made up of individual neurons that communicate across tiny gaps. This discovery, known as the “neuron doctrine,” transformed how we understand the brain and laid the foundation for all of modern neuroscience. Cajal's detailed drawings of a wide variety of neurons and neuroanatomical circuits are still admired today, both as scientific breakthroughs and works of art. Join us as we talk with an AI interpretation of Santiago Ramón y Cajal about his scientific findings, his disagreements with other neuroscientists and his advice to junior scientists.

On this week's episode of the CHASING CLARITY: HEALTH & FITNESS PODCAST, I sat down with Calvin Scheller to break down one of the most misunderstood topics in nutrition: appetite regulation.We explore how your hormones, macronutrient intake, and food choices shape the way you experience hunger and why so many people struggle to feel full, even when they're eating enough.This conversation goes far beyond “just eat less.” It's about understanding the physiological drivers of hunger, how to work with your body instead of against it, and how to improve appetite regulation so you can better manage your energy intake, physique, and long-term results.Whether you're looking to lose fat, trying to build muscle, or simply want to feel more in control of your appetite, this episode is for you.WHAT WE COVER IN THIS EPISODE:WHAT IS APPETITE?WHAT IS LEPTIN & WHAT ROLE DOES IT PLAY IN APPETITE REGULATION?WHAT IS LEPTIN RESISTANCE & HOW DOES IT IMPACT HUNGER SIGNALS?WHAT STRATEGIES IMPROVE LEPTIN SENSITIVITY?WHAT IS INSULIN & HOW DOES IT AFFECT APPETITE & SATIETY?HOW INSULIN SUPPRESSES HUNGER WHAT IS GHRELIN & HOW DOES IT INFLUENCE HUNGER & FOOD-SEEKING BEHAVIOR?WHAT IS CORTISOL & HOW DOES STRESS IMPACT APPETITE REGULATION?HOW DO PROTEIN & AMINO ACIDS IMPACT APPETITE?CLINICAL RESEARCH ON HIGH-PROTEIN DIETS & SATIETYHOW DO GLUCOSE & CARBOHYDRATES IMPACT APPETITE?WHY INSULIN-SPIKING, HIGH-CARB MEALS ARE OFTEN MORE SATIATING THAN HIGH-FAT MEALSWHAT EFFECT DO DIETARY FATS HAVE ON APPETITE & HUNGER?WHY DIETARY FAT IS THE LEAST SATIATING MACRONUTRIENT PER CALORIEWHAT ARE HYPER-PALATABLE FOODS & HOW DO THEY OVERRIDE SATIETY SIGNALS?WHAT THE RESEARCH SHOWS ABOUT ULTRA-PROCESSED FOODS & CALORIE INTAKEThis one's a masterclass in appetite regulation blending deep science with practical takeaways so you can make better nutrition decisions, regulate hunger, and stay on track with your goals.WHERE TO CONNECT WITH ME:Follow Brandon on IG: https://www.instagram.com/brandondacruz_/For Info on Brandon's Coaching Services: https://form.jotform.com/bdacruzfitness/coachinginquiryEmail: Bdacruzfitness@gmail.comBrandon's Website: https://www.brandondacruzfit.com

Sodium bicarbonate is one of the most consistently supported ergogenic aids in sports nutrition research, yet its underlying mechanisms and real-world applications remain widely misunderstood. More recent developments have focused on how to optimise both the timing and formulation of supplementation. The “individualised ingestion timing” approach has emerged as a practical strategy, recognising that the time-to-peak blood bicarbonate concentration varies considerably between individuals. Similarly, novel formulations are being explored to address issues with gastrointestinal distress and practicality of dosing. These include topical approaches such as sodium bicarbonate lotion, and commercial products like Maurten's “Bicarb System.” In this episode, Prof. Lewis Gough joins to discuss the latest evidence on sodium bicarbonate and performance, its mechanisms, novel delivery systems, and the key directions for future research. Dr. Lewis Gough is Associate Professor in Nutrition and Physiology at Birmingham City University. He is globally recognized for his research on sodium bicarbonate supplementation in sport, and his work spans applied sport and exercise nutrition, exercise metabolism, acid–base balance, and fatigue.

Summary In this episode, Ali Damron explores the intricate relationship between stress, repressed emotions, and the nervous system. She discusses how stress manifests in our bodies and minds, the impact of childhood experiences on emotional development, and the importance of radical acceptance in managing anxiety. The conversation emphasizes the need to recognize and process emotions rather than suppress them, highlighting the role of coping mechanisms and the significance of teaching our brains to feel safe. Ali encourages listeners to engage with their emotions and live their lives despite the presence of anxiety and stress. Takeaways Life is inherently stressful, affecting various aspects of our lives. Stress can lead to hormonal imbalances and various health issues. Managing stress is often oversimplified; we need deeper strategies. Repressed emotions can keep us stuck in anxiety. The nervous system interprets suppressed emotions as danger. Childhood experiences shape our emotional responses and coping mechanisms. Coping strategies often involve avoidance behaviors. Radical acceptance helps in acknowledging and processing emotions. Teaching the brain that it is safe to feel is crucial for healing. Engaging with life despite anxiety can promote emotional safety. Sound bites "How do we actually manage stress?" "Your brain and body are one thing." "Radical acceptance is not giving up."

Episode 208: Nitric Oxide - The Missing Link in Thyroid & Chronic Disease with Dr. Nathan Bryan In this episode, Dr. Eric Balcavage is joined by nitric oxide researcher and author Dr. Nathan Bryan, whose new book The Secret of Nitric Oxide explores why this tiny signaling molecule may be the key to preventing and reversing chronic illness. Together, they dive deep into: What nitric oxide is and why it's foundational for human health. How nitric oxide is made in the body—through both enzymatic and dietary pathways. The connection between nitric oxide, inflammation, oxidative stress, and the Cell Danger Response (CDR). How nitric oxide influences thyroid hormone production, conversion (T4 → T3), and the rise of reverse T3. Why loss of nitric oxide is one of the earliest triggers in chronic disease, including Hashimoto's, cardiovascular disease, Alzheimer's, and more. Common disruptors of nitric oxide production—nutrient deficiencies, environmental toxins, poor lifestyle habits, and even fluoride exposure. Practical steps to restore nitric oxide production naturally for better thyroid, metabolic, and overall health. This is a powerful conversation that reframes nitric oxide not as just a cardiovascular molecule, but as a master regulator of cellular health, energy production, and thyroid physiology.

How to Really Be Successful Ever heard people bang on about mindset — and thought, “Yeah, but what about the rest of me?” This Five-Minute Quickie goes beyond the buzzword. Because success isn't just in your head — it's in your body too. In this short but mighty episode, we explore: Why mindset alone isn't enough — and what “body-set” really means How to align your physiology and psychology so your goals feel inevitable Simple ways to tap into your “future you” — breathing, posture, tone, gestures — to unlock real, embodied confidence Cloughie breaks it down in his trademark way: fun, grounded, and totally usable. When you bring your body and mind into alignment, you don't have to fake success — you become it. Takeaway: Success is a feeling you live, not just an idea you think. Act, move, and breathe like you've already achieved it — because that's how you'll get there quicker, bigger, and better.

This year's Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine has been awarded for discoveries that explain how the immune system attacks hostile infections, but not the body's own cells. We explain the science that won Japan's Shimon Sakaguchi and US researchers Mary Brunkow and Fred Ramsdell the prestigious award.How robots can help children with reading anxiety. Lauren Wright from the University of Chicago who led this research explains.A new targeted antibiotic has been found that treats Inflammatory Bowel Disease. Dr Graham Easton who is Professor of Clinical Communication Skills at Queen Mary University of London describes how it works.Missing your first mammogram appointment has as much impact on breast cancer outcomes than an inherited genetic risk according to new research. Ziyan Ma from the Department of Medical Epidemiology and Biostatistics at the Karolinska Institute tells us more.And should we reconsider how we treat blood pressure?

“I was out walking the dogs and she started yelling, and I thought there was a grizzly bear nearby.” Actually, what Fred Ramsdell's wife was telling him, while on a hiking trip together, was that he had been awarded the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. In this conversation with the Nobel Prize's Adam Smith, recorded early the following day, Ramsdell recall how the realisation dawned on them. He goes on to speak about the benefits of working in the environment of biotech, the joy of finding talented collaborators, and the importance of celebrating the dedication of those that nurtured hundreds of generations of the all-important scurfy mouse, in which he and Mary Brunkow discovered the FOXP3 gene: “I'm really in awe of the fact that they were able to do that for so long. It's incredible.” © Nobel Prize Outreach.First reactions terms of use: https://www.nobelprize.org/ceremonies/streams-terms-of-use Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Originally from Boston, Massachusetts, she reimagines reclaimed materials and found objects—items that might otherwise be dismissed as disreputable or disposable—as the foundation of her artistic practice. In 2019, she made the decision to pursue art professionally after recognizing it as her true life's calling. Madden's creative path began with a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology and Physiology from the University of New Hampshire, where she graduated summa cum laude. She spent 15 years working in the fitness industry before transitioning into sustainable fashion— a field that continues to inform her work. Drawing inspiration from her passion for the environment, design, and the intersection of beauty and sustainability, Madden creates layered, textural works that are both elegant and evocative.Connect with Laura Madden:Website: https://www.lauramaddenstudio.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lauramaddenstudioRobyn McKay, PhD, is an award-winning therapist and psychospiritual advisor who teaches and leads at the intersection of psychology × spirituality × energetics.

"I believe this will encourage immunologists and physicians to apply the T regulatory cells to treat various immunological diseases.” Shimon Sakaguchi, 2025 Nobel Prize laureate in physiology or medicine, has always been driven by the desire to find new ways to combat disease. In this conversation with the Nobel Prize's Adam Smith, recorded just after the prize announcement, Sakaguchi speaks briefly about his surprise at the news and reflects on the fundamental research question that kept him dedicated to the field after many others abandoned it, a question that took over two decades to answer.© Nobel Prize Outreach.First Reactions terms of use: https://www.nobelprize.org/ceremonies/streams-terms-of-use Hosted on Acast.

“My phone rang, and I saw a number from Sweden and thought, well that's just spam of some sort, so I disabled the phone and went back to sleep.” Mary Brunkow clearly wasn't expecting the call from Stockholm. This brief conversation with the Nobel Prize's Adam Smith catches the new medicine laureate at her dining table at 4:30am, an hour and a half after she had heard the news. She talks about the power of genetics to unravel biology and how she feels it was an honour to have been one of the contributors to solving the puzzle of immune tolerance: “It takes a bunch of different brains, all working on it together, for sure!” © Nobel Prize Outreach.First Reactions terms of use: https://www.nobelprize.org/ceremonies/streams-terms-of-use Hosted on Acast.

Alisa Gracheva joins the show to tackle the invisible force that can secretly halt your authority and stall your business scale: unresolved trauma and deep-seated limiting beliefs. Alisa, who has walked a powerful healing journey herself, breaks down what trauma truly is and how it's encoded in your physiology as negative beliefs that keep you playing small.This conversation is the deep dive into the mindset block and unseen resistance that we often experience, including:

Most of us will never have our insulin levels tested, yet this single hormone is the body's master regulator of energy. When it stops working properly, almost every system in the body is affected, from how we store fat, to how we age. Today's guest is Dr Ben Bikman, a scientist and world-leading expert on insulin and metabolism. He's a Professor in the Department of Physiology and Developmental Biology at Brigham Young University (BYU) and has spent years researching how changes inside our cells lead to common metabolic disorders, such as obesity, type 2 diabetes, and dementia. He frequently publishes his research in peer-reviewed journals, speaks at scientific conferences all over the world and is the author of 2 books, Why We Get Sick and How Not to Get Sick. In this conversation, we discuss: Why insulin is the body's “master hormone”, guiding how we store and use energy and how resistance to it can cause a wide range of chronic health problems. The fact that almost 9 in 10 adults show signs of poor metabolic health, and why this is a global issue that affects countries far beyond the United States. How ethnicity and genetics shape the way we store fat, explaining why two people of the same weight and size can face very different risks of conditions like type 2 diabetes or heart disease. Why focusing only on blood glucose misses the early warning signs of poor metabolic health, and why measuring insulin levels offers a clearer and earlier picture of risk. The visible clues your body may already be giving you – such as skin tags or darker, velvety patches of skin around the neck or armpits – that can indicate chronically elevated insulin. Practical strategies to bring insulin down, from reducing refined sugars and starches to spacing out meals and experimenting with fasting in ways that work for both men and women. So often, we're told that chronic illnesses are inevitable or a natural part of ageing. But as Ben explains, many of these conditions have a common origin – and by focusing on insulin resistance, we can take powerful steps towards prevention and even reversal. This conversation is not about fear, but empowerment. It's a reminder that our everyday choices – how and what we eat, how we move, and how often we give our bodies a rest from food – can profoundly influence our future health.
