I help entrepreneurs build brands to seven figures and then position them for a multi-million dollar payday. The playbook we use to do it is free: ► Get the free playbook: https://capitalism.com/100K Thorne is forty years old, and everything that made it worth $3.8 billion happened in the last three. It had gone public and lost more than half its value when a private equity group took it off the market, and Procter & Gamble has now agreed to buy it with the same products on the shelf. I break down the playbook L Catterton ran, why sales roughly doubled while the price went up more than five times, and the three things besides revenue that decide what a buyer pays you, whether you would rather buy a business like this one or build one worth buying. Resources mentioned in the episode: ► The $100K Playbook: https://capitalism.com/100K (0:00) The same company, the same products, and a $3.8 billion payday three years later (1:00) The products sitting on my desk are all saturated markets, and that is the point (2:00) The terms: Procter & Gamble, all cash, and why a deal like that closes (3:00) The seller is the real story: L Catterton, from Kodiak Cakes to Nutrafol (4:00) Buy the whole company, get it off the public exchange, run the playbook in private (5:00) The new CEO went back to basics and decided who Thorne was actually for (6:00) Direct-to-consumer acquisition, after years of selling only through physicians (7:00) Auto-ship, and why keeping the customer was worth more than getting them (8:00) They refused to discount the brand, and that is what protected the margins (9:00) Plain old fish oil, sold to the person who wants the best fish oil (10:00) Lesson one, follow the money: Nutrafol, Gruns, Onnit (11:00) Thorne grew by doing less, and retention mattered more than acquisition (12:00) The part that shocked me: sales doubled, the price went up more than 5X (13:00) What actually moves a valuation: leadership, a growth story, and timing (15:00) The two ways to compress forty years into three: buy a neglected brand, or run the playbook on your own (17:00) Primal Kitchen sold to Heinz, and the big money made it better DISCLAIMER: The information contained on this Podcast Channel and the resources available for download/viewing through this Podcast Channel are for educational and informational purposes only.

Charles Brenner breaks down what the science actually says about NAD+, separating established findings from the claims commonly made in the longevity space. He explains why NAD levels in tissues may matter more than blood measurements, how metabolic stress, alcohol, inflammation, and other conditions can disrupt the NAD system, and how nicotinamide riboside (NR) compares with niacin, nicotinamide, and NMN. The conversation also covers research on exercise recovery, peripheral artery disease, skin health, infection, and wound healing, along with the limitations of current human evidence. Brenner explains why he advises against IV and subcutaneous NAD+, discusses concerns around NMN quality, and challenges popular sirtuin-centered theories of anti-aging while emphasizing the importance of reproducible human research. Charles Brenner is an NAD metabolism researcher whose work focuses on cellular bioenergetics, vitamin B3 biology, metabolic stress, and the pathways that regulate NAD production and utilization throughout the body. Now based at the University of Helsinki, his research has examined how the NAD system responds to conditions ranging from metabolic and liver disease to mitochondrial dysfunction, inflammation, and neurological stress. His work has also helped advance research into nicotinamide riboside as an NAD precursor and its potential applications in human health. Brenner takes an evidence-first approach to longevity science, distinguishing findings supported by controlled human studies from promising but still unproven mechanisms, animal research, and anecdotal claims.

This episode explores the opportunities and risks of testosterone optimization, beginning with the US military's decision to screen men over 30 for low testosterone. Dr. Mike Hart and Dr. Jonathan Schoeff discuss why symptoms such as fatigue, low libido, and difficulty changing body composition cannot be interpreted from a single lab value. They examine the importance of free testosterone, SHBG, insulin resistance, visceral fat, estradiol, DHT, fertility, and individualized dosing. The conversation also challenges common measures such as BMI and body fat percentage, emphasizing skeletal muscle mass, visceral adiposity, sustainable health goals, and the minimum effective intervention. Dr. Jonathan Schoeff is a spinal surgeon and longevity medicine practitioner whose work focuses on hormone health, metabolic optimization, body composition, and individualized health strategy. Through comprehensive laboratory testing, clinical assessment, and personalized treatment planning, he helps clients understand how hormones, insulin sensitivity, muscle mass, visceral fat, lifestyle, and long-term health goals interact. Describing his role as that of a "biological strategist," Dr. Schoeff emphasizes precision over standardized protocols and develops practical plans designed around each person's biology, priorities, and daily life.

Dr. Mike Hart welcomes Ksenia Petrushkina back for a wide-ranging conversation about using hormones, GLP-1 medications, and peptides more thoughtfully. They explore why lower, individualized doses of tirzepatide may improve tolerability, which blood markers should be monitored during treatment, and how progesterone may support sleep through its effects on GABA. They also discuss women's hormone replacement therapy, personalized testosterone dosing, TRT and fertility, thyroid treatment, low-dose naltrexone, and the difference between evidence-based peptide use and exaggerated online claims. Ksenia Petrushkina is a clinician whose work focuses on hormone optimization, peptide therapy, metabolic health, and highly individualized treatment. Through comprehensive blood testing, symptom assessment, careful dose adjustments, and ongoing patient monitoring, she helps men and women better understand how hormones, medications, and peptides may affect their energy, sleep, inflammation, fertility, body composition, and long-term health. Her approach challenges standardized protocols and social-media biohacking trends, emphasizing personalized medicine, responsible prescribing, and evaluating one intervention at a time.

Dr. Tyler Panzner joins Dr. Mike Hart to explain how genetics, supplement combinations, and individual brain chemistry can influence anxiety, irritability, brain fog, and the persistent "monkey on your back" feeling. They examine why the MTHFR gene is scientifically valid but often overmarketed, and why methylated B vitamins, SAMe, creatine, phosphatidylcholine, and other methylation-related supplements may help some people while overstimulating others. The conversation also explores hidden "adrenaline trappers" such as quercetin, polyphenols, and greens powders; why NAC, glutathione, and high-dose antioxidants may cause unwanted effects; and how lithium orotate, melatonin, nicotine, methylene blue, omega-3s, collagen, mitochondrial enhancers, and DHT-lowering supplements can affect people differently. Dr. Panzner also discusses pharmacogenomics, SSRI response, supplement timing around exercise, the limitations of genetic testing, and the importance of combining DNA data with bloodwork, symptoms, medication history, and baseline nutrient status. Dr. Tyler Panzner is a pharmacology and genetics expert whose work focuses on personalized supplementation, genetic testing, neurotransmitter pathways, and understanding why the same health intervention can affect people very differently. Through DNA analysis, laboratory review, supplement audits, and individualized coaching, he helps clients identify which biological pathways may need support and which commonly recommended supplements may be working against them. His approach challenges one-size-fits-all biohacking and emphasizes using genetics, bloodwork, symptoms, and personal response patterns to make more informed decisions about mental health, performance, and long-term wellness.

The episode explains how to use minoxidil for hair loss, emphasizing that it supports follicles and prolongs the anagen phase but does not block DHT (with topical dutasteride mentioned as a scalp-focused DHT option). It reviews evidence that 5% topical minoxidil is optimal (better than 2% and superior to 10%), works best on the crown/vertex, and should be applied to the scalp—not the hair—with expectations set for gradual results and possible early shedding. Twice-daily topical use is recommended unless combined with 0.01% tretinoin, which can make once-daily use similarly effective, though irritation can occur. Microneedling combined with minoxidil is strongly recommended based on a 2013 RCT, with guidance on depth (0.5–1.0 mm), frequency, and waiting 12–24 hours (or longer with tretinoin) before applying minoxidil. The episode also compares oral minoxidil dosing, notes a 2024 RCT showing similar outcomes to topical at 5 mg, and details systemic side effects, monitoring, and cautions including pet toxicity with topical use.

The speaker shares a structured, consistent diet designed to support hard training (three strength sessions, Norwegian 4x4, Zone 2 cardio, and one MMA session weekly), reduce "food noise," and stay full with high protein and fiber. He explains cooling/freezing rice to increase resistant starch and lower glycemic impact, then details his daily routine: a morning shake with creatine, collagen peptides, greens/red powder, and beta-alanine; four eggs mid-morning; high-protein Greek yogurt mixed with psyllium husk and acacia fiber; a pre-workout oats-and-whey bowl; a post-workout shake with whey, berries, vegetables, and sauerkraut; and a batch-prepped dinner of extra-lean ground beef, basmati rice, avocado, and sauce, plus a small yogurt-and-berries snack. Daily totals are about 2600 calories with ~260g protein, ~262g carbs, ~62–80g fat, and ~42g fiber, with weekend flexibility including two gin martinis and restaurant meals like steak or occasional pasta.

Dr. Kristin Collier joins Dr. Mike Hart to discuss the ethical, cultural, and technological forces reshaping modern medicine. Reflecting on the 2022 white coat speech walkout, she explores viewpoint diversity, self-censorship, moral courage, and the importance of cultivating wisdom alongside technical skill in medical education. The conversation also examines physician-assisted suicide, its relationship to suicide prevention, mental illness, disability, chronic disease, palliative care, healthcare funding, and the protection of vulnerable patients. They also discuss the promise and risks of artificial intelligence in medicine, including concerns about weakened clinical reasoning and the loss of person-to-person care, as well as spirituality, meaning, reproductive ethics, IVF, abortion, and human dignity. Dr. Kristin Collier is a physician, medical educator, and bioethics scholar whose work focuses on medical education, spirituality in healthcare, human dignity, and the moral responsibilities of physicians. Drawing from her experience teaching future doctors and caring for patients, she examines how wisdom, compassion, intellectual freedom, and ethical reflection can help medicine remain both scientifically rigorous and deeply human.

If you're dealing with foot pain, balance issues, knee discomfort, or aches that seem to appear out of nowhere, your footwear may be playing a bigger role than you think. Modern shoes can change the way your feet function and why strong, mobile feet are essential for staying active and independent as you age. You'll discover practical strategies to improve foot strength, support better movement, and make smarter footwear choices without giving up comfort. By the end, you may never look at your favorite pair the same way again—and you'll know exactly how to tell if they're among the shoes ruining your foot health. My Guest: Mark Sisson has been shaking up the world of health and fitness for over twenty years. He ignited the ancestral health movement in 2006 with his wildly successful blog, Mark's Daily Apple, and his best-selling book The Primal Blueprint. He helped popularize the ketogenic diet and the concept of intermittent fasting with his New York Times best-selling books, The Keto Reset Diet and Two Meals a Day. He gave millions of health-minded grocery shoppers access to healthier sauces and dressings with his Primal Kitchen Food company. He sold Primal Kitchen to Kraft Heinz for $200MM. And now he wants to change the way the world walks with his latest venture, a shoe company called Peluva and his latest book Born to Walk. Questions We Answer in This Episode: How did your journey from health entrepreneur to footwear innovator begin? Is it better to start walking in cushioned shoes or transition directly to minimalist footwear? What happens to your feet when you switch from traditional shoes to Peluva shoes? Why is the big toe considered one of the most important joints for movement, strength, and longevity? If you're overweight, out of shape, or new to exercise, what type of footwear should you start walking in? Are we seeing a shift toward healthier footwear choices for children and future generations? If you could go back to your athletic prime, how might stronger foot health have changed your future as an athlete? Do you miss distance running, and has your perspective on exercise changed with age? Is minimalist footwear right for everyone, and who benefits most from it?

This episode explores how to use GLP-1 medications like semaglutide/Ozempic and tirzepatide/Mounjaro safely and effectively. Dr. Mike Hart and Dr. Christle Guevarra Do discuss once-weekly dosing, individualized titration, optimal dose selection, food noise, appetite suppression, and the risks of dosing mistakes with vials or gray-market peptides. They also cover why resistance training, protein, fiber, and realistic nutrition habits are essential for preserving muscle and maintaining results. The conversation expands into GLP-1 benefits beyond weight loss, including cardiovascular protection, inflammation, autoimmune flares, addiction-related behaviors, alcohol cravings, libido, menstrual cycles, PCOS, sleep apnea, and what to expect when stopping the medication. Dr. Christle Guevarra Do is a physician focused on obesity medicine, GLP-1 education, weight management, and sustainable lifestyle change. Drawing from both her clinical experience and her own long-term use of GLP-1 medication, she helps patients understand how these medications fit into the bigger picture of long-term health. Her approach emphasizes individualized care, strength training, nutrition, behavior change, and realistic maintenance strategies rather than quick fixes. In this episode, she shares practical guidance for using GLP-1s responsibly while protecting muscle, managing hunger, and building habits that support lasting results.

Dr. Mike Hart interviews board-certified urologist Dr. Alex Tatum about peptide access, compounding, and men's health. Tatum argues many peptides are naturally occurring and lacked FDA commercialization incentives, says the FDA's 2023 move banning 19 compounds from Category 1 was contested due to no produced adverse-safety evidence, and describes the patient impact and advocacy around a July PCAC meeting. He explains most peptide APIs and many compounded GLP-1 ingredients come from China, while pharma-grade GLP-1s have more U.S. production. The discussion covers retatrutide's potential biologic classification (40–amino acid rule) and pricing implications, MOTS-c as an adjunct for low energy on GLP-1s, skepticism about cardarine, growth hormone secretagogues and cancer fears, TRT dosing frequency, sleep apnea screening, HCG's roles, and penis enhancement via traction for length and hyaluronic acid filler for girth, emphasizing expectations and mental health. Dr. Alex Tatem is a board-certified urologist focused on men's health, hormone optimization, male fertility, and sexual wellness. In this episode, he joins Dr. Mike Hart to discuss the changing landscape of peptide therapy, including FDA restrictions, compounding pharmacies, drug supply chains, and the growing debate around access to treatments such as BPC-157, MOTS-c, and retatrutide. He also breaks down practical considerations for men using testosterone replacement therapy, including HCG, fertility preservation, dosing frequency, estrogen-related side effects, and sleep apnea risk. Drawing from his experience treating a wide range of patients, he shares a harm-reduction approach to performance medicine and explains what men should understand before considering growth hormone peptides, GLP-1 medications, or penile enhancement procedures.

Equip Foods Protein (grass-fed beef isolate, no seed oils, third-party tested) Code: BENAZADI - https://bit.ly/49xXaMq Keto Flex Revised by Ben Azadi (pre-order now, releases July 21st, includes exclusive bonus chapters as a downloadable PDF): https://bit.ly/4wKG1sM In this episode, Ben Azadi reveals the five foods he eliminated that ended his chronic cravings and led to losing 19 pounds in 30 days. The root issue is not willpower. It's hormones and inflammation. A 2019 NIH study by Kevin Hall had participants eating ultra-processed vs. whole foods at matched calories. On the ultra-processed diet, they ate 500 extra calories per day without realizing it. The food was driving the overconsumption, not a lack of discipline. The five foods to remove: Liquid sugar. Sodas, juices, sports drinks, and flavored coffee drinks don't register as fullness. The Harvard Nurses' Health Study found adding one sugary drink per day led to 358 extra calories consumed daily. Swap for black coffee, plain tea, or sparkling water. Ultra-processed breads and tortillas. Stripped of nutrition and engineered for shelf life, modern bread spikes blood sugar as much as a Snickers bar according to Dr. William Davis. Opt for fermented sourdough or sprouted grain, or remove bread entirely for 30 days. Boxed pastas and processed comfort foods. Hyper-palatable combinations of salt, sugar, fat, and starch that overstimulate the brain's reward centers while leaving the body nutritionally depleted. A follow-up to Hall's study found people eating these foods consumed up to 1,000 extra calories per day. Seed oil-laden dressings, sauces, and condiments. Soybean, canola, corn, sunflower, and related oils produce carcinogenic aldehydes during processing and are in roughly 80% of the food supply. Replace with avocado oil, extra virgin olive oil, grass-fed butter, ghee, coconut oil, beef tallow, or duck fat. Look for seed oil-free brands like Primal Kitchen and Chosen Foods. Alcohol. A 1992 New England Journal of Medicine study found moderate alcohol consumption drops fat oxidation by 70% for hours. The liver prioritizes clearing alcohol above all else, including fat burning, while simultaneously increasing appetite and lowering the brain's stop-eating signals.

The host explains how he raised his estimated VO2 max in 2026 in his 40s, emphasizing that the biggest driver was structured hard training with progressive overload, not "hacks" like peptides, supplements, sauna, red light, or ketones. After years of mostly zone 2 cardio (under ~124 bpm) plus weekly MMA, he shifted to one zone 2 session, one Norwegian 4x4 VO2 max workout, and one MMA session weekly. He defines VO2 max and details the 4x4 protocol (4 minutes hard/3 minutes easy for 4 rounds plus brief warmup/cooldown), using a COROS heart rate monitor to track significant zone 5 time. Starting at 8.0 mph, he increased treadmill speed by 0.1 mph weekly to 9.3 mph, discussing deload weeks, fatigue limits, body weight changes, footwear, sauna frequency, and mixed views on supplements like beta-alanine, beetroot, and ketones.

Think running marathons is the secret to longevity and heart health? Think again.Today, I'm joined by Mark Sisson — a pioneer in ancestral health, NYT bestselling author, former elite endurance athlete, founder of Primal Kitchen, and creator of Peluva barefoot shoes.In this episode, we unpack why more cardio isn't always better, how walking may actually be one of the best things for longevity, fat loss, metabolic health, and joint health, and why chronic endurance training can sometimes leave you feeling more inflamed, depleted, and prone to injury. We also dive into metabolic flexibility, strength training as we age, overtraining and hormones, and the surprising connection between barefoot shoes and better movement — including foot strength, balance, posture, mobility, glute activation, proprioception, and even common issues like bunions, foot pain, and instability as we age.This conversation completely changed how I think about exercise — let's get into it.Suggested Resources:Mark Sisson | InstagramPeluva barefoot shoes (grab 10% off with the code wellnstrong)Born to WalkThe Primal BlueprintSend me a text!This episode is proudly sponsored by: SizzlefishLet's talk about fueling your body with the best nature has to offer.

Full Show Notes: https://bengreenfieldlife.com/sisson2026 In this episode with Mark Sisson, you'll discover why VO2 Max may be overrated as the gold standard for longevity, and why chasing it cost Mark 32 pounds of muscle and the real-world function that actually matters. You'll explore his "Old Man Olympics" framework: a decathlete's approach to fitness at 72, spanning strength, speed, balance, and endurance. You'll also get his take on cold plunging, alcohol, biohacking, AI, and find out why foot health may be the single most overlooked lever in your longevity toolkit, from bunions to glute activation to big toe function. Mark Sisson ignited the ancestral health movement with Mark's Daily Apple and The Primal Blueprint, popularized keto and intermittent fasting with The Keto Reset Diet and Two Meals a Day, and sold Primal Kitchen to Kraft Heinz for $200M. He now runs Peluva, a toe-separated shoe company built around restoring foot strength and healthy gait, and is the author of Born to Walk.
The episode explains that inflammation is a necessary survival mechanism, with acute inflammation supporting healing, while chronic inflammation drives chronic disease. It outlines major contributors to chronic inflammation including visceral fat (with fasting insulin as a proxy for insulin resistance), poor sleep and sleep apnea, ultra-processed foods, sedentary behavior, overtraining, chronic psychological stress, poor oral health, gut dysbiosis/barrier issues, smoking, alcohol, pollution, autoimmune disease, and chronic infection. The host reviews biomarkers to discuss with a physician such as high-sensitivity CRP, ESR, ferritin, WBC and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, fasting insulin, ApoB, omega-3 index/omega-6:omega-3 ratio, and homocysteine. Chronic inflammation is linked to cardiovascular disease, depression/anhedonia, brain fog, autoimmune disease risk, cancer mechanisms, skin aging, erectile dysfunction, and chronic pain. Treatment focuses on lifestyle (notably treating sleep apnea, sleep optimization, fat loss, exercise, oral health, omega-3 intake, sauna, stress regulation, circadian rhythm), selected supplements (vitamin D if deficient, curcumin, boswellia, ginger, garlic, olive oil polyphenols, sulforaphane, magnesium/glycine, taurine, NAC, quercetin, probiotics, creatine), and brief discussion of drugs including GLP-1 agonists, colchicine, NSAIDs, corticosteroids, and biologics.

In this solo episode on androgenic alopecia, the host explains that hair loss is slow and progressive, driven largely by genetics and DHT-mediated miniaturization of follicles across the anagen, catagen, and telogen cycle, and stresses early detection using periodic photos of the temples, hairline/vertex, and crown. He frames hair growth as a "battle" between Wnt signaling (promotes growth and anagen entry via stem cell activation) and DHT signaling (suppresses Wnt and increases inhibitors like DKK, TGF-beta, and PGD2), noting advanced loss involves inflammation, fibrosis, and irreversible follicle loss. He reviews contributors like poor scalp blood flow, iron deficiency (most evidence), possible zinc/B12/folate deficiency, thyroid dysfunction, and insulin resistance, then covers treatments: finasteride (oral and topical) and dutasteride as DHT blockers with potential systemic side effects, plus minoxidil and microneedling (home vs professional) as key options, with add-ons like ketoconazole shampoo, PRP, red light, and cautions about anabolic steroids and high-dose testosterone increasing DHT pressure.

Dr. Allen Frances discusses how AI chatbots can provide effective support for everyday stress and mild symptoms, with tens of millions using them, but warns they can be dangerous for vulnerable groups—especially the very young, the very old, the socially isolated, and people with severe mental illness—potentially contributing to psychosis, suicide, or eating disorders. He argues harm is driven by chatbots being programmed to be pleasing and validating to maximize screen time, creating dependency and "echo chambers," and highlights major privacy risks and manipulation potential given extensive data collection and weak safeguards. Frances advocates a hybrid model where therapists and patients train chatbots as assistants aligned with treatment goals, and cautions about industry profit motives, limited regulation, scams, political propaganda, and broader societal risks. He also explains autism's overdiagnosis since DSM-IV's expansion (Asperger's/autism spectrum) and describes ADHD and autism as current fad diagnoses amplified by services and social media. Dr. Allen Frances is a psychiatrist, author, and leading voice on psychiatric diagnosis, mental health, and the risks of overmedicalization. He is widely known for his work on the DSM-IV and for his book Saving Normal, which challenges the overdiagnosis and overtreatment of everyday life struggles. In this episode, he joins Dr. Mike Hart to break down the growing impact of AI chatbots on mental health, therapy, privacy, and clinical care. He explains when chatbot support may be helpful, why vulnerable users can be harmed, how AI could reshape psychotherapy, and why privacy with chatbots may be an illusion. He also discusses the overdiagnosis of autism and ADHD, the role of social media in self-diagnosis, and why false labels can change how people see themselves and their future.

In a wide-ranging interview, Dr. Sylvain Charlebois ("The Food Professor") discusses whether lab-grown (cellular) meat is overhyped, citing consumer acceptance, cost, and labeling as key barriers, though he found lab-grown chicken indistinguishable in taste and notes potential for nutrient customization. The conversation then turns to Canadian food inflation, arguing there is little evidence grocers are gouging consumers via higher margins, though grocers pressure suppliers through fees, affecting prices and supply-chain discipline. Charlebois contends food inflation is largely structural and policy-driven, pointing to trade barriers, carbon tax impacts, logistics, supply management, counter-tariffs, and the GST holiday's inflationary effect. He proposes solutions focused on competition, tax relief, logistics investment, and policy reform, and closes with a cautious view of ultra-processed food rhetoric, emphasizing consumer information over bans. Dr. Sylvain Charlebois is a professor of food distribution and policy at Dalhousie University and director of the Agri-Food Analytics Lab, where his work focuses on food distribution, food policy, food security, and food safety. Widely known as "The Food Professor," he is one of Canada's most recognized voices on food inflation, grocery pricing, supply chains, and the future of food. His research has been featured in major outlets including The Economist, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and The Globe and Mail, and he also hosts The Food Professor Podcast. In this episode, he breaks down what's really driving food prices in Canada, whether grocers are being unfairly blamed, the debate around lab-grown meat, and how ultra-processed foods and GLP-1 drugs are reshaping the food industry.

Dr. Mike Hart interviews Dr. Russell Kennedy about chronic anxiety as a childhood safety adaptation that never turns off, driven more by a body-based "alarm" than by thinking. Kennedy explains why understanding anxiety and talk-based cognitive approaches often have limited effect because subcortical systems communicate through feeling; alarm sensations trigger the mind to generate worries, which can become dopamine-reinforced and addictive. He discusses sensitivity (often cited as 15–20% of the population), modern stressors like smartphones and social media reducing discomfort tolerance, and high-functioning anxiety in high achievers and physicians, with sleep as a key regulation marker. Kennedy emphasizes reconnecting mind and body and adult self with younger self using somatic techniques (body scanning, hand placement, "sensation without explanation," and the SHOULD acronym), notes trauma can occur without an overtly traumatic life, links dysregulated autonomic states to varied symptoms, and shares rapid tools like the physiological sigh and alternate nostril breathing, plus his "Sanity" app and AnxietyMD resources. Dr. Russell Kennedy is a physician, author, and anxiety expert whose work explores the deeper roots of chronic anxiety, especially the role of childhood stress, nervous system dysregulation, and the body's stored alarm response. In this episode, he explains why anxiety is not just a thinking problem but a feeling problem, how worry becomes a coping pattern that keeps people stuck, why high performers often live in a state of hidden dysregulation, and how self-connection, somatic awareness, and better sleep can help break the cycle. Through a blend of clinical experience, neuroscience, and personal insight, Kennedy helps listeners better understand where anxiety comes from and what it actually takes to heal it at the root.

Dr. Mike Hart interviews elite runner Brady Holmer about endurance training, VO2 max physiology, and common misconceptions. Holmer explains that zone 2 builds the aerobic base and enables high training volume with less fatigue, notes heart-rate zones are ideally defined by lactate thresholds, and says he primarily uses perceived exertion rather than lactate or heart rate during training. He advises against guiding workouts by wearable HRV scores, arguing accurate HRV requires standardized morning measurements and that wearable data can create a nocebo effect; trends may be informative, but subjective feel should come first. They discuss polarized vs pyramidal training and typical 80/20 intensity distributions, effective session durations, mechanisms limiting VO2 max (central vs peripheral), and why Norwegian 4x4 intervals work by maximizing time near 85–90% max heart rate. They cover breathing/nose breathing, inspiratory muscle training, sauna/hot baths as performance adjuncts, nutrition timing of carbohydrates, and supplements including beetroot, beta-alanine, urolithin A, and post-exercise ketones. Brady Holmer is an endurance-focused performance expert and elite runner whose work explores the science and practice of aerobic fitness, VO2 max, recovery, and smarter cardio training. In this episode, he explains how zone 2 training builds the foundation for endurance, why HRV and wearable data should be interpreted carefully, and how protocols like Norwegian 4x4 can improve performance when used in the right context. Through a blend of long-term training experience, research literacy, and practical coaching insight, Holmer helps listeners better understand how to train harder, recover smarter, and think more clearly about what actually improves cardiovascular fitness.

Dr. Tommy Wood discusses evidence that stimulants can help people with ADHD but may worsen complex cognitive performance in non-ADHD users despite feeling more focused. He outlines an ideal brain-health day centered on consistent sleep opportunity, morning caffeine timed to protect sleep, nutrient-dense meals (protein, B vitamins, omega-3s, fiber, antioxidants), frequent movement to break up sedentary time, and structured exercise including cardio, resistance training, HIIT (notably Norwegian 4x4), and open-skill sports for added cognitive benefits. He emphasizes bright morning light and darkness at night for circadian strength, notes optic-flow/nature exposure as helpful but not required, and says electrolytes/salt needs are individual. The conversation covers cognitive decline and bioenergetics/mitochondria, critiques "type 3 diabetes" as oversimplified, reviews mixed evidence for ketones, and addresses supplements (omega-3s, vitamin D, saffron, creatine, polyphenols). Screens can help or harm depending on use and what they displace. Wood promotes his book, "The Stimulated Mind," out March 24. Dr. Tommy Wood is a physician-scientist and brain health expert who helps people better understand how to improve cognition, protect memory, and reduce long-term dementia risk. With a focus on exercise, sleep, nutrition, and brain energetics, he explores the practical habits that support focus, processing speed, recovery, and healthy cognitive aging. Dr. Wood is known for translating complex neuroscience into clear, actionable advice, while challenging oversimplified ideas around stimulants, supplements, and modern brain optimization. Through his research, speaking, and new book The Stimulated Mind, Dr. Wood teaches people how to create the right conditions for better brain function across the lifespan. His work empowers listeners to think of brain health as something trainable—shaped by movement, sleep, learning, and the quality of the inputs we give our minds every day.

The script explains why fiber is critical for gut and metabolic health, focusing on how soluble fiber is fermented in the colon to produce short-chain fatty acids (butyrate, propionate, acetate). It contrasts soluble fiber (forms a gel, lowers LDL by binding bile acids, slows glucose absorption, increases satiety, feeds the microbiome) with insoluble fiber (adds stool bulk, helps constipation). It highlights research showing 10 g/day psyllium husk (Metamucil) is linked to a 10% reduction in all-cause mortality and typically lowers LDL about 7–15%. Butyrate is emphasized as the primary fuel for colonocytes, supporting gut barrier integrity and potentially reducing colon cancer risk, while also affecting mitochondria, inflammation, and the brain. Propionate influences liver cholesterol production and satiety hormones, and acetate provides systemic energy. Practical supplementation "stacks," dosing ranges, food sources, GI side effects, and timing cautions (e.g., separating psyllium from minerals) are discussed.

Dr. Roger McFillin argues that Western allopathic medicine and psychiatry have medicalized normal human suffering by reducing emotions to biological or chemical reactions, turning symptom checklists into fixed identities, and sustaining a drug-driven "sick care" system that creates lifelong customers. He contrasts this with viewing emotions as powerful energy meant to be moved into creation and transformation, cites psychoneuroimmunology, and warns that suppressing fear and distress with pharmaceuticals can worsen long-term outcomes. The conversation covers exposure-based approaches to unlearn fear, the role of media, social media, and advertising in provoking fear and keeping people in an unconscious "drift" state, and the importance of intentional stillness, solitude (distinct from loneliness), prayer or silent meditation, and reducing phone use—especially at the start of the day—to become more conscious and intentional. McFillin discusses how diagnostic labels like depression and anxiety shape identity, limit choices, and contribute to chronicity and polypharmacy. He contrasts PTSD with post-traumatic growth, emphasizing processing trauma memories, facing avoided situations, challenging overgeneralized threat beliefs, and practicing forgiveness and self-compassion while also taking ownership where appropriate. They also discuss the perceived harms of the "toxic masculinity" concept, men's wellbeing, the loss of wise elders, and how men often bond and cope through shared activities. Dr. Roger McFillin is a clinical psychologist and trauma recovery expert who challenges the medicalization of normal human emotions. With a focus on emotional resilience and personal growth, he specializes in exposure therapy and psychoneuroimmunology, exploring the connection between mind, emotions, and immune health. Dr. McFillin advocates for self-regulation and transforming emotional energy into healing, critiquing the overuse of pharmaceuticals in modern mental health treatment.

This episode is a little all over the place, and honestly, that feels about right. In this solo, I'm looking back on 2025 without needing to wrap it up with a neat bow. I talk through the highs, the lows, and the emotional static that lived in the background: from moments that surprised me and filled me up to the exhaustion, uncertainty, and growth that didn't always have clear answers. I reflect on watching Sonny grow into himself, learning to slow down without losing ambition. navigating decision fatigue, and what it's been like living in the in-between, especially while moving through our surrogacy journey. This episode is about giving ourselves a permission slip to soften, protect our nervous systems, and redefine what success actually looks like when peace matters more than productivity. If you are closing out the year feeling grateful and tired, hopeful and unsure, or like you're still learning as you go - I'm with you, we're in this together.

Hello hello. Here we are, ready to slide through the holidays with ease and coziness. We are calmer this week after a bit of a panicky stretch and great news, our lives have been changed by an ice machine - not an an, just obsessed with pellet ice. We recap our mostly lovely and wonderful Thanksgiving trip to Montana that started with an airport fiasco where Whit forgot her ID and barely made the flight. Then some good Date Night classics - pop culture palette cleansers that include Timothee Chalamet/Kylie Jenner discourse, feelings about Elf on the Shelf, true crime watching habits, best things we ate, and a new working segment: Who Annoyed You Most?

Today's episode is a really personal one for me. As some of you may know, my family has been moving through complicated changes brought on by some issues with my mother's health. It's been a heartbreaking chapter and one of the most confusing periods emotionally. Jill McNamara is the General Manager of Care.com, and has been a person who has supported me in a huge way over this last year. She and the Care.com team have guided my family as we've searched for the proper care for my mom, and it's an honor to have her on the podcast to discuss the complicated emotions that come with watching someone you love change. When I asked you all to send in your questions, I was blown away by how many of you are going through similar things with your aging loved ones. Today, Jill and I are sitting down to talk through everything. I get raw and emotional about my own situation, and Jill offers such thoughtful, grounding wisdom about the realities of caregiving - the guilt, the frustration, the tenderness, and the small wins that still matter. If you are walking through anything like this, I hope this conversation helps you feel a little less alone and permits you to feel everything you're feeling, even when those feelings don't make sense together. I'm learning that there is no "right" way to do this, just the honest way.

Hi! Another solo from my cozy nook, and I get into a lot. First a little High/Low of the week and a little recap of our funny night celebrating our 10th anniversary. Then we go deeper. I'm answering questions that have really been sitting with me this month: What's taking up the most mental real estate lately? What emotions keep visiting? What's a story that I keep telling myself that isn't actually true anymore? What lies my anxiety loves to tell me and the fears that make no logical sense but continue to show up. And a list of my toxic traits that were funny to gather. If you're in the mood for a cozy, honest, reflection session full of good questions to ask yourself and your loved ones, this is for you. I love you! This episode is brought to you by Jones Road Beauty, Minted, Neiman Marcus, The RealReal, and Primal Kitchen.

Listen to the full episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_XENYK73THs At 70, Mark Sisson looks better than most people half his age. In this Fitness Friday episode, I'm sharing an excerpt from our conversation where he shares the counterintuitive strategies that kept him injury-free and thriving while his endurance athlete peers broke down. We dive into the concept of metabolic flexibility, why he's now on a "campaign to eradicate running" and believes walking is the single best thing humans can do for themselves, and the “eat to live” mindset that can change your relationship with food. Mark Sisson is the OG of the ancestral health movement, creator of the Primal Blueprint, and founder of Primal Kitchen (sold to Kraft Heinz). His newsletter Mark's Daily Apple has been teaching people how to optimize their health since 2006, making him one of the earliest voices in what's now a massive wellness industry. What we discuss: Why Mark Looks Decades Younger Than His 70 Years The Injury That Changed Everything and Led to His Anti-Running Philosophy What Metabolic Flexibility Really Means (And Why He Popularized the Term) How to Access Any Energy Source Your Body Needs at Any Time The "Eat to Live vs Live to Eat" Mindset That Transformed His Relationship with Food How Orthotics Actually Weaken Your Feet Instead of Helping Them Why Modern Medicine Treats Symptoms Instead of Root Causes Thank you to our sponsors: Therasage: Head over to therasage.com and use code Be Bold for 15% off Air Doctor: Go to airdoctorpro.com and use promo code HUSTLE for up to $300 off and a 3-year warranty on air purifiers.
