For much of our lives, performance is measured in speed, strength, and output. As we get older, the equation changes. On this episode of The Dr. Hyman Show, I sit down with Sir David Beckham and Dr. Dawn Mussallem to explore what elite sport, stage IV cancer, and heart transplantation can teach us about prevention—and what it really takes to sustain health over time. Watch the full conversation on YouTube or listen wherever you get your podcasts. Together, we explore: • Why your health trajectory is more changeable than you've been taught—especially after 40 • How sleep, stress, and metabolic health quietly shape your long-term disease risk • Which daily habits give you the biggest return on investment over decades • How to build resilience now so your body supports you later The real measure of health isn't what you can achieve in your 20s or 30s. It's the resilience you build so your body supports you for decades to come.

In this Q+A episode of The Fitness League Podcast, we're answering real listener questions about some of the most common fitness frustrations—tight hamstrings, hip pain, pregnancy workouts, balancing running and lifting, and whether you can truly build muscle with just dumbbells at home. We break down why "tight" hamstrings often aren't a flexibility problem at all, how strengthening muscles in a lengthened position can improve mobility, and why hip control across multiple planes of movement matters more than endless stretching. We also dive into smart training adjustments during pregnancy, how to manage recovery when increasing intensity, and how to balance strength training with running without burning out. If you're training at home with limited equipment, feeling stuck with nagging hip or hamstring issues, or navigating fitness through a new season of life, this episode will give you practical, actionable guidance. As always, the focus is on consistency, smart progression, and building strength that supports real life—not comparing your journey to anyone else's. Because progress isn't built in one perfect workout—it's built in the ways you keep showing up.

Can designing for human error become the strongest cybersecurity strategy in an AI-accelerated world? In this episode, I sit down with Yaz Bekkar, Principal Consulting Architect for Barracuda XDR and a member of the company's Office of the CTO, to explore why the speed introduced by AI is changing the risk equation for every organization. As automation allows teams to move faster, it also means small mistakes can scale at machine speed. Yaz argues that resilience in 2026 is no longer about trying to prevent every incident. It is about anticipating failure, containing the blast radius, and recovering quickly without bringing the business to a standstill. Our conversation challenges one of the most persistent narratives in security, the idea that people are the weakest link. Yaz explains why safeguarding the workforce begins with reshaping the environment they operate in. When the secure option is also the easiest and fastest path, risky shortcuts begin to disappear. From secure defaults and least-privilege access to paved-road workflows for administrators, he shares practical examples of how organizations can reduce complexity, limit exposure, and support better decisions under pressure. We also tackle the limits of annual compliance training and the cultural shift required to build real cyber resilience. Yaz makes the case for continuous, bite-sized practice embedded into everyday work, from three-minute phishing simulations that teach without blame to short, hands-on misconfiguration drills for technical teams. The result is stronger habits, faster response times, and a security posture designed for real human behavior rather than ideal conditions. If AI is accelerating both innovation and risk, how do leaders move from a prevention-only mindset to resilient operations that protect business continuity when controls fail? And what would change in your organization if every system was designed with the assumption that someone, somewhere, will eventually make a mistake?

In this week's Think Thursday, Molly builds on last week's conversation about overwhelm and takes it one level deeper—into uncertainty and the brain's fundamental need for coherence.Many people say, “I'm overwhelmed by everything.” But often, what they're describing isn't simply busyness. It's destabilization. The pace of technological change, the relentless news cycle, economic uncertainty, global conflict, and cultural instability create a steady stream of input that the human brain was not designed to process.Our brains evolved for village-level information flow—not constant global exposure in real time.The Brain as a Prediction MachineModern neuroscience describes the brain as a prediction engine. Researchers such as Karl Friston (predictive processing theory) suggest that the brain's primary job is not just to react to reality, but to anticipate it.Your brain is constantly generating internal forecasts about what is likely to happen next. It builds models of what is safe, familiar, and probable. When those models align with experience, the brain operates efficiently. Monitoring decreases. Stress drops. Calm increases.But when prediction fails—when the future feels unstable or unclear—the brain increases vigilance. Cortisol rises. The amygdala becomes more reactive. Monitoring intensifies.Uncertainty is not just emotionally uncomfortable. It is neurologically expensive.Research comparing predictable and unpredictable stressors shows that unpredictable stress can create stronger physiological responses than predictable stress—even when the predictable stressor is objectively worse. The brain often prefers a known negative outcome to an unknown one because predictability allows preparation, and preparation reduces perceived threat.Coherence vs. AmbiguityResearchers such as Travis Proulx and Steven Heine have explored how disruptions in meaning and narrative coherence increase anxiety and motivate the brain to restore order. Coherence stabilizes the nervous system. Ambiguity destabilizes it.When someone says, “I'm overwhelmed by everything,” that word everything represents a collapse of hierarchy and narrative. The brain cannot model everything at once. It cannot prioritize everything simultaneously. So it defaults to alarm.Language plays a powerful role here. Molly revisits her recent quote:“Every time you replace ‘I'm overwhelmed' with ‘I need to decide what matters most and go slow,' your brain stops firing alarm signals and starts organizing information again.”While this shift does not immediately shut down the amygdala, research on cognitive reappraisal by psychologist James Gross shows that reframing increases prefrontal cortex activity and decreases amygdala activation over time. Changing language changes the predictive model the brain uses.Molly also revisits a core Alcohol Minimalist concept: thoughts are both descriptive and prescriptive. Repeating “I'm overwhelmed” reinforces a future expectation. The brain uses repeated thoughts as data. Language influences prediction.Why This Feels Amplified NowThe modern nervous system is metabolizing more information than at any point in human history. Our brains evolved to monitor a small social circle, not global crises, economic forecasts, political unrest, and technological revolutions delivered instantly.When input exceeds the brain's capacity to construct stable models:Uncertainty risesScanning increasesStress increasesCognitive flexibility decreasesThis is not fragility. It is neurobiology.And it has direct implications for behavior change.The brain invests effort when it believes the future is navigable. When the future feels chaotic, it shifts toward short-term safety behaviors—scrolling, avoidance, comfort-seeking, and returning to familiar habits—not because discipline has disappeared, but because predictability feels safer than uncertainty. Coherence builds confidence. Confidence supports effort. Effort sustains behavior change.When coherence drops, consistency often drops with it.Five Ways to Restore CoherenceWhile you cannot eliminate global uncertainty, you can restore local coherence. The brain does not require certainty everywhere. It requires stability somewhere.Here are five actionable steps:Narrow the time horizon.Focus on today or tomorrow rather than the entire month or year. Short predictive loops are easier for the brain to manage.Identify what is controllable.Research shows perceived control reduces amygdala activation. Even one controllable action restores agency.Establish one predictable ritual.A consistent morning routine, defined work block, or nightly wind-down creates stability the brain can model.Limit interpretive overload.Too many possible explanations increase cognitive load. Choose the most useful interpretation instead of entertaining every hypothetical scenario.Build one daily evidence loop.Follow through on one manageable commitment each day. Predictable behavior strengthens the brain's trust in its own forecasting.Each of these steps restores hierarchy. Each reduces prediction error. Each sends a stabilizing signal to the nervous system.You are telling your brain: “The world may be uncertain, but my behavior has structure.”The Bottom LineYour brain does not require absolute certainty in order to function well. It requires enough pattern to feel oriented. Enough structure to reduce constant monitoring. Enough stability to believe its predictions will not be continuously disrupted.You cannot calm the entire world. But you can restore order in your immediate sphere.When coherence returns, clarity follows. ★ Support this podcast ★

As the 21st century dawned, a newly-elected Vladmir Putin was making friends on the world stage. He smiled for photo ops at G8 meetings, and was the first foreign leader to call George W. Bush after the attacks of 9/11, offering his support against terrorism.So what changed? To understand Russia's view of the world now – and its continued aggression towards Ukraine – it helps to know more about the psyche of the country and its leader.In today's episode, we talk to James Rodgers, a reader in international journalism at City St George's, University of London, about how a festering sense of national humiliation after the collapse of the Soviet Union hardened Putin's tough man regime and led Russia to turn its back on the west.This episode was written and produced by Mend Mariwany and Gemma Ware with editing help from Ashlynne McGhee.

In this episode of the Flex Diet Podcast, I sit down with my good buddy Vince Maltz, a high-performance mindset coach who works with NHL players, Division I athletes, and elite performers. We dig into what “mindset training” actually looks like in real life, beyond the clichés, and why it's inseparable from physiology, recovery, and nervous system regulation. We also get into the modern performance environment: fake expertise, too many voices in the kitchen, and why big organizations adapt slowly. Vince breaks down centralized vs. decentralized leadership, how athletes can learn to think for themselves inside a system, and why being a “nerd” at your sport is becoming a competitive advantage. From there, we hit practical tools: how athletes move from conscious competence to unconscious competence faster, why distributed cognition matters in team sports, and what individuals can do today to improve performance through breathing, cold exposure, communication, and environment.

I talk honestly about what it's like to lose a brother in uniform, how PTSD and unspoken trauma eat people alive, and what changed in me after standing in the aftermath of a death that never should have happened.As a former army medic and paramedic, I've seen a lot of death. But nothing prepares you for losing someone you know, someone you worked with, someone who carried the same weight you did. Greg Turner died by suicide in the back of his ambulance. A place where he had saved countless lives. And that detail alone still wrecks me.This isn't a motivational speech.It's not a hot take.It's not sanitized mental health content.It's a raw, honest conversation about suicide, PTSD, grief, addiction recovery, and the long aftermath of survival.We talk about:The death of paramedic Greg TurnerFirst responder suicide and mental healthPTSD, trauma, and unspoken painWhy judging suicide misses the real storyGrief, survivor's guilt, and carrying the dead with youWhy people in uniform don't ask for helpWhat changed in me after losing a colleagueIf you're a first responder, veteran, nurse, therapist, teacher, or someone who's lost a loved one to suicide — this episode is for you.And if you're struggling right now, please know this:You're not weak.

In this episode I'm chatting with Jenny Mainwaring who lives near Oxford in the UK. Jenny took her oldest son out of school while still in primary school and suffering from burnout. Jenny describes the slow process of helping him feel safe again and how they have seen him come back to his interests and the things he naturally wants to explore. In fact, Jenny's son who is now 12 encouraged Jenny to share their story so other children can know that things do get better. A little later, Jenny also took her younger son out of school and we talk about how they try to work together to meet everyone's needs, what socialising looks like, and the importance of safe adults.

Can we finally modulate post-stroke inflammation?
Vic is doing something wildly out of character… and that's the point! In this life update, she shares why she and her husband, Max, are packing up and living in a sprinter van for a spontaneous three-week road trip across California. After a season of burnout, routine, and always chasing the next goal, Vic opens up about craving more freedom, curiosity, and space to figure out who she is becoming in this next chapter. She breaks down how the trip came together, how Max reacted to her out-of-the-blue idea, what van life will actually look like, and why this journey is about more than just the views. If you've been feeling stuck, overplanned, or disconnected from your sense of adventure, this episode might be the nudge you need. Tune in to hear why Vic is choosing spontaneity, simplicity, and the journey inward this season.Related episode:Chaotic Life Update: I'm Burnt Out & Something Needs to ChangeAubrey & Corporate Natalie are Back!! 2025 Reflections & New Year Goal Setting// SPONSORS // Premier Protein: Find your favorite flavor at premierprotein.com or at Amazon, Walmart, and other major retailers.

Today is about something just as important:The internal environment.Because here's the truth:You can train perfectly……but if your internal environment is stressed, dehydrated, under-recovered, and sleep-deprived…your fascia doesn't remodel well.Recovery isn't passive.Recovery is biological preparation.So today we're talking about how hydration, stress, sleep, and daily habits determine whether your connective tissue actually adapts — or slowly breaks down.Resources:Brain.fm App (First month Free, then 20% off subscription)Discount Code: coachdamiensdCaldera Lab Skin Carewww.calderalab.comDiscount Code: CoachDLinks:IG:@coachdamien_sd@damienrayevans@livinthedream_podcast YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCS6VuPgtVsdBpDj5oN3YQTgFB:https://www.facebook.com/coachdamienSD/

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

Nutrition coach Jimena Lerma joins Ambitious Addicts to talk about a long road to recovery from disordered eating and exercise addiction. Starting in her pre-teens, Lerma's relationship with her physical body was influenced by social pressure to achieve an unrealistic ideal. Internalized social pressure drove Lerma to adopt unhealthy eating and exercise patterns, which eventually harmed her health and overall wellbeing. Lerma realized her yearning for an unattainable ideal of thinness was doing more harm than good, so she sought healing through holistic and spiritual means. Recovery came in fits and starts, but eventually stuck. Lerma eventually applied her own recovery journey and experience with practical and business knowledge to launch a coaching practice, mostly aimed at women looking to heal from disordered eating and improve their relationships with their body. Lerma can be found on Facebook via her name or on Instagram @jimena.ler.ma She welcomes DM's with inquiries about taking the first step toward better health and wellbeing. --- This episode is a production of the Self Discovery Sisterhood.

Can Lyme disease begin before birth — and could it be driving neurodevelopmental conditions like autism, ADHD, and anxiety?In this episode of Integrative Lyme Solutions, Dr. K is joined by Dr. Somer DelSignore, a leading pediatric integrative clinician, to explore the overlooked science of congenital Lyme and in utero transmission of vector-borne infections. Dr. DelSignore explains how infections such as Borrelia, Bartonella, and Babesia can cross the placenta, disrupt fetal brain development, and silently fuel inflammation that shows up later as behavioral, cognitive, and immune dysfunction.You'll learn why standard TORCH testing fails to catch these infections, what symptoms parents should watch for in infants and children, and how addressing inflammation, infections, and immune imbalance can dramatically improve outcomes. This episode offers critical insight for parents, practitioners, and anyone focused on true prevention and root-cause healing in pediatric Lyme disease.Key Takeaways:0:00 Introduction and Dr. Somer DelSignore's clinical journey3:10 From pediatric ICU to integrative Lyme care6:20 Congenital Lyme: 40 years of overlooked science9:00 Why TORCH testing misses vector-borne infections12:45 Preconception testing and prevention strategies15:30 Why treating Lyme before pregnancy matters18:05 Infant symptoms parents should never ignore21:10 Autism, neuroinflammation, and misdiagnosis24:15 The RESET framework for pediatric healing28:10 What real recovery can look like for childrenResources Mentioned:IGeneX Laboratories – https://igenex.comTLABDX (Babesia & Bartonella testing) – https://www.tlabdx.com/Horowitz/MSIDS 38 point symptom checklist – https://projectlyme.org/msids-questionnaire/IV Ozone Therapy – https://health.clevelandclinic.org/ozone-therapySOT (Supportive Oligonucleotide Therapy) – https://projectlyme.org/supportive-oligonucleotide-therapy-sot-for-lyme/Medical Disclaimer: This content is for educational purposes only and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or replace professional medical advice.

This week, we're sharing an episode from Olympic medalist and cross-country skiing legend Jessie Diggins, which originally aired in 2025. Jessie opens up about her journey to the top of her sport, what it’s like to embrace the intense pressure of elite competition, and how she pushes herself to her physical breaking point — sharing vivid details of the "blurry vision" and sheer grit required to win. She also gets candid about her mental health journey, specifically her experience with an eating disorder and a relapse in 2024, discussing what support looks like in her daily life today. When we had this conversation — there was just under a year left until the Winter Olympics, and Jessie reflected on training in Italy, her recent World Cup wins, and her decision to retire at the end of 2026. IN THIS EPISODE The Physical Breaking Point: Jessie describes the sensation of pushing her body to its absolute limits during a race, including the "blurry vision" that often accompanies her hardest efforts. Mental Health & Recovery: A vulnerable discussion on her history with an eating disorder, navigating a relapse in 2024, and the importance of a strong support system. The Final Stretch: Jessie shares her mindset heading into her final Olympic run in Milan-Cortina and why she has decided to retire after the 2026 season. Legacy & Integrity: Reflecting on being awarded the Holmenkollen Medal, Jessie explains why racing with integrity and being a role model outside of the sport is as important to her as her results on the snow. Training Philosophy: How she and her team plan "super peaks" every four years for the Olympics and the unexpected benefits of "toe yoga." QUOTABLE MOMENTS "I’ve realized that I don’t have to be a perfect person to be a good role model. I just have to be an honest one." "The 'pain cave' is a place I know well, but I’ve learned that you can’t live there. You have to have a home to come back to that is full of joy and balance." "Winning is amazing, but it’s the feeling of crossing the line knowing you gave every single thing you had—that’s the part that stays with you." "I want the next generation of skiers to see that you can be the best in the world and still be a human being who struggles and asks for help."

Chronic stress keeps cortisol elevated, which disrupts sleep, slows physical recovery, blunts training progress, and prevents your body from fully resetting day to day Clinical research shows ashwagandha consistently lowers cortisol, helping shift your body out of constant defense mode and back into repair and recovery Benefits extend beyond stress relief, including improvements in sleep quality, energy stability, hormonal balance, endurance capacity, and post-exercise recovery Ashwagandha works best when paired with stress-lowering habits like consistent sleep timing, appropriate exercise volume, and steady blood sugar from adequate carbohydrate intake Consistent daily use over eight weeks or longer aligns with the strongest improvements, allowing stress signaling to calm so performance and resilience rebuild naturally
