Welcome! and Thank you for listening.   We all seem to chase balance.  Not too much and not too little.  The middle tends to be more populated in the middle of the bell curve or the early adopters curve.  The extremes tend to have more risk but they also tend to be the areas of maximal growth potential.  The middle grounders are often those that play it safe.  When it comes to health, it is the moderation goal.  When it comes to exercise, it is the just enough goal.   However, most people are worried about "not enough of".  Most lifestyle diseases occur with "too much of" The potential for learning is also greatest at both ends of the curve.   Today's podcast is the potential benefit of not too much  and how one might determine if you suffer from too much or too little potentials.  I hope you enjoy the listen.  Thanks for listening.  If you would like to know more about our practice, please visit the website at https://doctordulaney.com/membership/join-us/ Email me  at jami@doctordulaney.com Nutrition consults: addie@doctordulaney.com Strength training: nathan@doctordulaney.com Book recommendation: The Happiest Man on Earth by Eddie Jaku Cookbook: https://a.co/d/6zVUluq Ebook: https://doctordulaney.com/powerful-plates-ebook/ Water distiller: https://mypurewater.com/?sld=jdulaney.  discount code cleanwaterforsophie  

How did a 180-year-old Italian digestif become one of America's most beloved bar staples? Though Fernet-Branca has enjoyed a storied legacy in Europe since its creation in 1845, it remained a niche curiosity in the United States for much of its life. The intensely bitter, herbal liqueur was appreciated only by the most adventurous palates. Today, however, it's a fixture behind the bar from upscale cocktail lounges to neighborhood dive bars, most often knocked back in shot form and celebrated for its distinct flavor profile. Who better to trace Fernet-Branca's unlikely rise than Edoardo Branca, managing director of Branca USA and a sixth-generation member of the family behind the brand? We caught up with Edoardo at spirits industry trade show Bar Convent Brooklyn to talk about how Fernet-Branca earned its cult status in the U.S. He shared insights on the brand's roots, its journey from obscure digestif to bartender favorite, and how the company is carefully evolving to stay relevant in a fast-changing drinks culture. From navigating pricing pressures to expanding the Branca USA portfolio with modern, consumer-focused offerings, Edoardo explains how he is stewarding a legacy while embracing innovation. Show notes: 0:25: Interview: Edoardo Branca, Managing Director, Branca USA – Eduardo talks about his journey from Milan (he's an Inter fan) to Southern California and ultimately to New York. He also discusses his current role in which he oversees U.S. operations and highlights the most personally rewarding aspect of his job. Edorado explains how Fernet Branca became popular within the bartender community after gaining traction as a popular shot in 1990s San Francisco, the emotional resonance many have with their first Fernet experience and reflects on the global cultural differences in how it's consumed. He acknowledges generational shifts and concerns about declining alcohol consumption among younger drinkers, but expresses confidence that appreciation for spirits and bar culture will mature with age and experience. Edorado also talks about the growing Branca portfolio, noting that lower-ABV products like Antica Formula vermouth align with growing health-conscious trends and also shares his philosophy on mergers and acquisitions. Brands in this episode: Fernet-Branca, Jägermeister, Jameson, Antica Formula

Are you wanting to add more vegetables and fruits to your plates, but wonder if you can afford it? Right now, you're already spending quite a bit on groceries weekly, mainly on meats, eggs, and processed foods. Yes, you're also buying carrots, apples, and other produce items, but it's not a lot at the moment.

Maybe you're thinking, “Things are going to get WAY more expensive if I eat plant-based and start buying more fruits and veggies!”   Well, it doesn't have to be.

A hip-hop icon. A lifelong bond. A shared passion for craft spirits. And a warehouse full of aged whiskey. When these elements came together, they gave rise to Amber & Opal, a premium honey botanical rye whiskey that's turning heads in the spirits industry. Launched in 2024, Amber & Opal was co-founded by Ja Rule, Herb Rice, Sandy Sandiford, and Kelvin Barton. A rye whiskey blended with orange blossom honey and an elegant mix of botanicals, including cinnamon, fig, ginger, and black tea, the spirit was crafted to bridge worlds: approachable for newcomers, yet complex enough to intrigue seasoned whiskey enthusiasts. At the buzzing Amber & Opal booth during the 2025 Bar Convent Brooklyn trade show in June, Ja, Herb, and Sandy shared insights into the brand's origin story and the meaning behind its evocative name. They also discuss the intentional, measured way they're leveraging Ja's star power and why they are confident that the flavor-forward whiskey has the potential to redefine what modern spirits can be. Show notes: 0:25: Ja Rule, Herb Rice & Sandy Sandiford, Co-Founders, Amber & Opal – Ray learns how Ja Rule signs checks before the musician and entrepreneur explains why Amber & Opal shouldn't be labeled a “celebrity brand,” and why the founding team was advised against making a flavored whiskey. Herb talks about how product development was focused on flavor, accessibility and innovation, and how in a tequila-saturated market, it is strategically positioned to stand out. The team also discusses how the package and label design reflects an emphasis on inclusivity and storytelling before sharing a sample of the whiskey with Ray, who offers his take on its taste and potential appeal.

In EPISODE 216 of GROWING OLDER LIVING YOUNGER, we explore the evolution of the Paleo diet—beyond the caveman clichés—and how the principles of nutrient-dense eating  can support a long, healthy life. Trevor Connor, professional cyclist turned nutrition researcher and CEO of The Paleo Diet LLC, joins Dr. Gillian Lockitch to share how nutrient density, lifestyle personalization, and ancestral wisdom can guide our modern eating habits for optimal aging.  Trevor Connor is the CEO of The Paleo Diet LLC, a professional cycling coach, and a seasoned researcher in nutrition and physiology. A former elite cyclist, Trevor pursued a master's in exercise science at Colorado State University, where he conducted research on dietary strategies to reduce inflammation and support autoimmune health. Initially skeptical, Trevor became a passionate advocate for the Paleo diet through studying the science, performance outcomes, and personal experience. He is now dedicated to helping others eat in alignment with evolutionary biology—prioritizing nutrient-dense, unprocessed foods that fuel both performance and longevity. Together with Loren Cordain, "father"of the Paleo Diet, and Mark J Smith he authored the forthcoming book "Paleo for Life:  Superfoods to Slow Aging, Boost Longevity, and Enhance Your Well-Being" Episode Timeline: 0:00 – Introduction to the Podcast and Guest Gillian introduces the show's mission, the theme of “Age is Just a Number,” and welcomes Trevor Connor to discuss how the Paleo diet promotes healthspan.  3:28 – From Pro- Cyclist to Paleo Advocate Trevor shares his journey through elite cycling, coaching, and discovering the Paleo diet during his graduate research at Colorado State.  10:30 – What the Paleo Diet Really Means Today Trevor defines the core principles of the Paleo diet: eating nutrient-dense, unprocessed foods like meat, vegetables, fruits, and healthy fats—while avoiding grains, dairy, and legumes.  15:56 – Personal Experience Meets Nutritional Science Trevor and Gillian reflect on how their health challenges and professional experiences shaped their nutrition philosophies.

Welcome! and Thank you for listening. This week, I'm sharing my journey from a recent training camp in Leadville, Colorado.

When it comes to the causes of environmental destruction and overconsumption of resources, the meat industry is at the top of the list. Meat production uses massive amounts of water and land, and leaves behind devastating amounts of pollution and greenhouse gases. America's livestock industry — particularly through grazing on public lands — is one of the greatest threats to endangered species and habitat. ============== FOLLOW THE SHOW ON: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@plantbasedbriefing     Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2GONW0q2EDJMzqhuwuxdCF?si=2a20c247461d4ad7 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/plant-based-briefing/id1562925866 Your podcast app of choice: https://pod.link/1562925866  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PlantBasedBriefing     LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/plant-based-briefing/   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/plantbasedbriefing/

In one of the strangest scandals to hit the CPG world, BetterBrand, the startup behind the high-protein, low-carb “Better Bagel,”  is now facing lawsuits, unpaid debts… and a missing founder. The hosts weigh in on the chaos surrounding entrepreneur Aimee Yang and her calamitous company. They also discuss a new, seemingly BFY beverage alcohol segment and why protein donuts deserve better ingredients. Show notes: 0:35: Hoste-ing In Chicago. Moldy, Mired, Messy. A Refreshing ABV? Inhale & Gag. Red Dye Donuts. – The hosts announce Taste Radio's Chicago meetup, which will take place on August 14 at Hoste Cocktails' event space in the Windy City's Pilsen neighborhood. They also delve into the controversy surrounding BetterBrand, whose problems have earned it comparisons to Theranos. The team also explores the rise of “hard refreshers,” alcoholic beverages with packaging similar to sports drinks, raising concerns over consumer confusion. Meanwhile Liquid Death's spicy novelty drink, “Deathberry Inferno,” gets mixed reviews for flavor but praise for marketing. The group samples nostalgic FatBoy ice cream treats and discusses the contrast between some function-centric foods, comparing Purely Elizabeth's new clean-label oatmeals over protein donuts made with artificial ingredients.  Brands in this episode: BetterBrand, Athletic Brewing, AriZona, Spindrift, BeatBox, BuzzBallz, Happy Thursday, Lightstrike, Prime, Mas+ by Messi, Liquid Death, Paqui, Vernors, Whistlepig, FatBoy Ice Cream, Legendary Foods, Purely Elizabeth

When Ghost co-founders Dan Lourenco and Ryan Hughes launched their fitness and lifestyle brand in 2016, they weren't chasing headlines or quick exits. They were trying to build a company that felt like a movement.  From the outset, Ghost resonated with a younger, influencer-savvy audience drawn to its bold, candy- and snack-inspired fitness supplements – flavors like Warhead and Sour Patch Kids brought a nostalgic twist to recovery powders and wellness products. Building on this momentum, the brand expanded into energy and hydration beverages, achieving broad distribution across major U.S. and international retailers while cultivating a strong direct-to-consumer presence. In a significant endorsement of its growth and potential, Keurig Dr Pepper acquired a 60% stake in the company for $990 million in October, with plans to purchase the remaining 40% by 2028. So how did a company that deliberately avoided a traditional marketing playbook become a household name in sports nutrition and energy? In a candid conversation, Dan pulls back the curtain on Ghost's rise — from behind-the-scenes YouTube videos to blockbuster licensing deals and national shelf space. He explains why authenticity remains the brand's North Star — and why, for Ghost, that goes beyond simply being founder-led. Dan also reflects on the personal journey behind the business: how stepping away from social media helped him regain focus, and what scaling a brand taught him about leadership, growth, and staying grounded. Show notes: 0:25: Dan Lourenco, Co-Founder & CEO, Ghost – Dan talks about Ghost's mission to become a “100-year brand” built on authenticity, innovation, and community, and how, despite selling a majority stake to Keurig Dr Pepper (KDP), Ghost has retained its founder-led identity. He also discusses why the brand's growth has been rooted in transparency rather than traditional marketing, how differentiation lies in purposeful innovation, and why the company approaches licensing more selectively than in the past. Dan explains how Ghost's expansion into functional beverages was driven by organic customer behavior, and why he emphasizes staying nimble, preserving brand values, and maintaining a startup mindset. He also reflects on the challenges of founder wellness, learning to balance personal fulfillment with leadership, stepping back from personal social media and how he advises entrepreneurs to focus on what truly matters. Brands in this episode: Ghost, Warheads, Sour Patch Kids, Skittles, Cinnabon
