In this episode, I sit down with neuroscientist Dr. Tommy Wood to explore how brain health, focus, attention, and recovery directly affect cycling performance. We break down why most athletes are physically well-trained but mentally overworked, how constant stimulation and distraction lead to cognitive overtraining, and why your brain needs recovery just as much as your legs. We also discuss practical ways cyclists can train their brain, build focus, improve decision-making under fatigue, and protect attention in a world full of distractions. If you're training hard but still feel mentally flat or inconsistent on the bike, this conversation might explain why.We've just started to build something really cool.

Many parents tell me they're waiting. Waiting for things to settle. Waiting for their child to grow out of it. Waiting for the “right time” to get support. In this episode of Parent Like a Psychologist, we talk about what actually happens when a child's emotional, behavioural, or developmental needs go unmet, and why waiting often makes things harder, not easier. When kids' needs aren't met, problems don't stay the same One of the biggest misunderstandings parents have is thinking challenges will pause while they wait. They don't. Unmet needs tend to snowball. A child who struggles with emotional regulation when they're young might start with tantrums or meltdowns. Over time, those same unmet needs can show up as: Bigger emotional outbursts Anxiety or chronic stress Friendship difficulties Learning disruptions at school School refusal or avoidance What starts as one challenge often turns into two or three, not because parents have done anything wrong, but because the original need was never fully supported. Why early support matters Getting help early isn't about panic or overreacting. It's about prevention. When parents understand what their child needs and how to meet those needs, they can: Reduce stress and anxiety before it escalates Build emotional regulation skills earlier Protect learning, friendships, and confidence Lower their own stress and emotional load Early support often stops small struggles from becoming much bigger ones. Getting help is not a failure Many parents worry they'll be judged, told they're imagining things, or that they're wasting a professional's time. That simply isn't true. Seeking support is thoughtful, protective, and a sign of a deeply engaged parent. It's also about easing your load before things feel overwhelming. A question to reflect on Ask yourself: Have the challenges stayed the same, or changed over time? Are they showing up in new or more complex ways? Is waiting making things feel heavier for you? Challenges don't pause while we wait. They usually reshape themselves. Ready to take the next step? If you've been hoping things will improve on their own, or you want to stop challenges from snowballing, this is your sign to reach out. My programs are available anytime, so you can start when you're ready. You don't have to do this alone.

STRONGER BONES LIFESTYLE: REVERSING THE COURSE OF OSTEOPOROSIS NATURALLY
In this episode, Debi Robinson sits down with Dr. Anil Bajnath, MD, a board-certified physician and leader in precision medicine, to explore how personalized healthcare is reshaping the future of bone health and osteoporosis prevention.Rather than waiting for bone loss to appear on a DEXA scan, precision medicine focuses on identifying the root biological drivers of bone loss years earlier—chronic inflammation, mitochondrial decline, hormonal imbalance, gut dysfunction, immune aging, and cellular senescence.This conversation offers a hopeful, empowering reframe: bone loss is not an inevitable consequence of aging, but a reflection of modifiable biological processes. When we understand and support those processes early, we create the conditions for stronger bones, healthier aging, and greater resilience.

Introduction December 27th brings sudden urgency—just four days remain to implement critical year-end financial strategies that could save thousands in taxes, reduce portfolio risk, and position retirement accounts for 2025 success. Most people spend more time planning vacations than reviewing their largest asset: their retirement portfolio. But the market’s strong multi-year run has created hidden dangers in 401(k) accounts, particularly for those approaching retirement who haven’t rebalanced in years. In this episode of The Tom Dupree Show, Tom Dupree and Mike Johnson provide an essential year-end checklist covering portfolio drift, account consolidation, tax-smart charitable giving, target date fund dangers, and fraud protection as scam season intensifies. Portfolio Drift: The Silent Risk Multiplier What Five Years Did to Your 401(k) If you established a 60/40 portfolio (60% stocks, 40% bonds) five years ago and never rebalanced, you’re sitting on dramatically more risk than intended. “If you had a 60-40 split in 2020, today you’re at about 76% stocks if you’ve made no changes,” Mike Johnson explained. “And your account’s worth 20 or 30% more, so there’s more dollars at stake, at risk.” The drift problem: Stocks outperformed bonds over five years Your stock allocation grew from market gains Total account value increased substantially Risk exposure multiplied Example: $500,000 in 2020 (60% stocks = $300,000) is now $650,000 with 76% stocks = $494,000 in equities. Your stock exposure grew 65%. S&P 500 Concentration Risk “About 40% of the S&P 500 is allocated to tech and high multiple stocks,” Mike noted. “If it’s been on autopilot, now is as good a time as any to look at it critically.” Market Corrections Are Inevitable “On average, every year you have a 10% drop in the market. That’s just the cost of admission,” Mike explained. “We had one back in April—it was closer to 20%. You were looking at 40, 50% drops in some things.” “A lot of people have forgotten how—and even that they should—play defense, especially when you’re getting close to retirement,” Mike cautioned. Year-end action: Check your actual allocation today. If stocks exceed your risk tolerance, rebalance before December 31st. Account Consolidation: Simplify Now The Multiple Account Problem “People’s thinking is, if I have this account over here and this account over here, I’ve got more money,” Tom observed. “When they consolidate those accounts, every one of those five pieces put together as one is gonna get managed better.” Hidden Costs of Scattered Accounts “It’s really hard to track performance if you have multiple accounts,” Mike explained. “It’s much simpler, much more accountable when it’s all consolidated together.” Problems with scattered accounts: Impossible to track overall performance Multiple RMD calculations Complex tax reporting Higher fees (missing breakpoint discounts) Poor overall portfolio coordination Mike’s consolidation benefits: “Proper investment to reach your goals, performance tracking, tax reporting, tax planning, and possible discounts on fees.” Year-end action: List all retirement accounts—schedule consolidation to simplify 2025 RMDs and reduce fees. Tax-Smart Year-End Strategies Strategy 1: Gift Appreciated Stock “Let’s say you give $10,000 a year to charity. You can gift those appreciated shares of stock to the organization,” Mike explained. “You can put that money right back into your brokerage account and reinvest it. You could even repurchase the same stock.” The double benefit: Charitable deduction for full market value Avoid capital gains tax on appreciation Example: Stock purchased for $4,000, now worth $10,000. Gift it, avoid $6,000 capital gain, use the $10,000 cash to buy it back. Strategy 2: Qualified Charitable Distribution “If you’re of the age where you have required minimum distributions, you can do a qualified charitable distribution,” Mike explained. “If you gift the RMD straight to the charity, it never flows through as taxable income to you.” QCD advantages: Counts toward RMD requirement Reduces adjusted gross income Lowers Medicare premiums Reduces taxes on Social Security Works even if you don’t itemize Year-end deadline: Execute stock gifts or QCDs before December 31st to count for 2024 taxes. The In-Service Rollover: Plan Three Years Ahead Act at Age 59½—Even While Working “At 59 and a half, you can do what’s called an in-service rollover,” Mike explained. “Even if you’re still employed and working, you can move over the balance of your 401(k) to an IRA and invest it more specifically for your situation.” The Three-Year Retirement Transition “Let’s say you’re 59 and a half and planning on retiring at 62. You can do that rollover, get the funds invested into an income-producing portfolio,” Mike detailed. “While you’re working, that income just reinvests back in. But when you hit 62, that portfolio’s already in place, it’s already working, and literally it’s linked to your checking account.” Tom emphasized the benefit: “It makes the retirement process more comfortable because you’re not leaving work and at the same time coming in brand new, getting comfortable with our investment approach. You’ve planned for it.” The seamless transition: Portfolio established 2-3 years before retirement Dividends reinvest while still working At retirement, switch to income payout mode No adjustment period or uncertainty Year-end action: If age 59½+, investigate in-service rollover options. Target Date Funds: Hidden Dangers The Collective Investment Trust Problem “52% of the assets in target date funds—over $2 trillion—are now in collective investment trusts,” Mike reported. What makes CITs dangerous: “A collective investment trust—they’re not required to register with the SEC,” Mike explained. “They don’t have to report, as transparently, all the internal fees. And they’re allowed to hold more illiquid investments inside of them.” The Blue Rock Disaster “There was a private real estate fund—the Blue Rock Total Income Fund,” Mike detailed. “The net asset value when it was private was about $24 a share. They decided to go public. The fund closed the day it went public at $14.70.” Investor loss: 39% immediately when real market pricing was revealed. “The NAV was bogus. It was totally bogus,” Mike concluded. The Vanguard-TIAA Annuity Trap “Vanguard announced they’re partnering with TIAA, and the target date fund automatically enrolls the investor in an annuity,” Mike reported. “What they’re hoping is that these people that have been on autopilot for 40 years—they’re not gonna change from being on autopilot at year 41,” Mike explained. “It’s just gonna automatically roll into these annuities. This is a money grab to keep the assets locked in.” Why Dupree Financial Group Avoids Them “We don’t use target date funds. We don’t like what the target date fund does to the client’s return,” Tom stated. “It’s about having all your money in one spot the day you retire. That money doesn’t need to be in one spot. It needs to be growing and throwing off dividends.” Mike: “The target date’s all based on historical averages. It doesn’t take into account what’s going on in the market or your situation.” Year-end action: If in a target date fund, research what’s actually inside it before the “glide path” continues. Year-End Fraud Alert: Peak Scam Season The January-February Surge “This time last year, at the first of the year, was one of the biggest fraud pushes that we’ve seen,” Mike warned. “As we get close to the end of the year, be diligent and protect yourself.” Sophisticated Team Operations “These fraudsters are very convincing. They sound like us. They sound like an advisor,” Mike explained. “They’ll bring somebody onto the line. They’ll keep people on the line for three hours. They’ve gotten used to handling objections.” Real Client Losses “We heard two in a row from our clients—older women, same amount: $10,000 each,” Tom recounted. “One woman could afford it. The other one really couldn’t.” The Defense Strategy “The first line of defense is you, the client,” Mike stated. “If you have something that pops up on your screen—don’t click there. If somebody calls—call somebody. Call a trusted person. If you’re a client of ours, call us. But do not take action on any of these things.” Critical warning: “Do not verify within their ecosystem. They say, ‘We’ll let you verify,’ and then they transfer you. They’re all working together.” Tom’s advice: “Get off the phone or don’t click on things and get somebody that you trust to find out exactly what’s going on.” Year-end vigilance: Never click pop-ups, never transfer money based on calls, always verify independently. Your Year-End Action Plan Critical Tasks Before December 31st ✓ Check portfolio drift – Verify stock/bond allocation matches risk tolerance ✓ Rebalance if needed – Reduce risk before 2025 ✓ Execute charitable strategies – Gift stock or make QCD before deadline ✓ Consolidate accounts – Simplify RMDs and reduce fees ✓ Research in-service rollovers – If 59½+, investigate options ✓ Review target date funds – Understand holdings before glide path continues ✓ Increase fraud vigilance – Peak scam season protection Questions Before Year-End What’s my actual current allocation? How many retirement accounts do I have scattered? Am I missing tax-saving charitable strategies? Do I understand what’s in my target date fund? Am I 59½+ with rollover options available? The Bottom Line With days remaining in 2024, retirement investors face critical decisions affecting taxes, risk exposure, and 2025 positioning. Portfolio drift has likely pushed your stock allocation far beyond original intentions. Target date funds may contain illiquid investments, opaque fees, and automatic annuitization. But opportunities exist: tax-smart giving, consolidation, in-service rollovers, and rebalancing. “All of these things fit into more of a holistic long-term retirement financial plan,” Mike concluded. “You want everything moving in the right direction to accomplish your goals.” Schedule Your Portfolio Review Is your portfolio drifted into dangerous territory?

In this episode of Shift with CJ, I sit down with Dr. Ebenezer Abel Paul, founder of Verve Wellness Dubai, to break down one of the biggest questions in health and longevity: If our genes are fixed, why are we all so different—and how much control do we really have?We take genetics out of the abstract and bring it down to first principles. Why some people tolerate carbs better. Why others struggle with dairy, stress, or weight. Why environment, culture, and modern city life (especially Dubai) can either switch on disease or unlock performance.Dr. Ebenezer explains genetics in a practical way: Your genotype is your blueprint. It doesn't change. Your phenotype—how those genes express—is shaped by lifestyle, food, sleep, stress, environment, and decisions made daily.We dive into why “it runs in my family” is often a misunderstanding of lifestyle patterns rather than destiny, using examples like type 2 diabetes, lactose intolerance, obesity risk, and stress sensitivity. The episode also explores how modern stress, poor sleep, ultra-processed food, eating out culture, microplastics, EMFs, and vitamin deficiencies silently alter gene expression.We discuss the Well Gene Book as an entry point into personalized medicine—not as a diagnosis tool, but as a lifelong blueprint to make better decisions. Dr. Ebenezer explains why combining genetics with blood work, gut health, proteomics, and lifestyle data creates true precision health—and why random supplements, generic diets, or self-diagnosing with AI can backfire.The future, according to Dr. Ebenezer, is not shortcuts—but data harmonization: genetics + lifestyle + environment + AI-guided decision-making, all personalized to the individual.Key TakeawaysGenetics load the gun, lifestyle pulls the trigger.Most “genetic diseases” are actually lifestyle-driven expressions.Modern city life creates a mismatch between biology and environment.Food intolerances often show up as fatigue, brain fog, skin issues—not just gut symptoms.Personalized health beats generic diets, workouts, and supplements every time.5 Things You Can Start Doing TodayStop copying diets — eat based on how you respond, not influencers.Question symptoms like bloating, fatigue, brain fog—they're signals, not normal.Fix sleep first — poor sleep amplifies stress genes and inflammation.Reduce eating out — unknown oils, reheated food, and plastics matter.Use data wisely — genetics guide decisions, blood work confirms reality.Knowledge doesn't remove responsibility—it gives you control.

What if thousands of steps of gentle walking aren't giving you the brain protection you think they are? In this solo episode, I break down one of the most important exercise studies published in Nature Communications and what it means for your brain, longevity, and Alzheimer's risk. Tracking over 73,000 people for eight years using wearables, the findings are shocking: one minute of vigorous exercise is worth up to 10 minutes of moderate activity — not the outdated 2-to-1 rule. For diabetes prevention, it's nearly 10-to-1. For cardiovascular mortality, it's 8-to-1. And here's what no one is saying: every outcome measured — heart disease, diabetes, metabolic dysfunction — is an independent risk factor for Alzheimer's and dementia. I explain why vigorous exercise is so powerful for your brain: shear stress that strengthens blood vessels, lactate that triggers BDNF, muscle fiber recruitment that protects against falls and cognitive decline, and glucose regulation that defends against insulin resistance — a driver of neurodegeneration. Think vigorous exercise is out of reach? Good news: the study defines it as brisk stairs, carrying groceries, or playing actively with your kids. No gym required — just effort. Just 3–4 minutes of vigorous bursts per day can reduce all-cause mortality by 40% and cardiovascular events by nearly 50%. For women over 40, this is critical. Two-thirds of Alzheimer's cases are women, and perimenopause is a vulnerability window for the brain. Vigorous exercise can partially compensate for declining estrogen by improving glucose regulation, reducing inflammation, and protecting the brain in ways gentle movement cannot. *** Reduce your risk of Alzheimer's with my science-backed protocol for women 30+: https://go.neuroathletics.com.au/brain-code-yt Subscribe to The Neuro Experience for more conversations at the intersection of brain science and performance.

Send us a textDo holiday conversations, workplace tension, or family dynamics leave you emotionally drained and unsure how to respond? At mid-career, the pressure to stay composed, supportive, and “professional” can feel exhausting, especially when stress is already high in your job or career.In this episode of The Mid-Career GPS Podcast, I introduce a simple but powerful communication tool called the Three H's. With one clarifying question, you can stop guessing, set healthier boundaries, and respond with intention rather than frustration.The Three H's question is simple and direct: Do you want me to hear you, help you, or hug you?That single question creates clarity, consent, and emotional safety in conversations at work, at home, and everywhere in between.I break down how each option works in real life and why this framework is especially valuable for mid-career professionals navigating leadership pressure, burnout, and complex relationships.Mid-career professionals are often expected to manage emotions, solve problems, and stay composed, even when they feel overwhelmed themselves. This episode explores how the Three H's can help you:De-escalate tense conversations without withdrawing or over-functioningSet boundaries around hot-button topics at work or with familyRespond to dismissive or frustrating comments with calm confidenceExit conversations that do not respect your limitsAdvocate for your own needs without overexplaining or apologizingIf you manage people, this framework can also transform your leadership approach. Opening one-on-ones with the Three H's reduces advice overload, builds trust, and helps your team feel genuinely supported.Ask for What You Need Without GuiltI flip the script and show you how to use the Three H's to advocate for yourself. You can ask for a listening ear, targeted help, or comfort and connection. You will also learn why it is healthy to accept that not everyone is available to meet your needs at all times.That realization alone can reduce resentment, stress, and emotional burnout during a demanding season of life and career.Support the showReady to give your career the jumpstart it needs to whatever is next?

If your home feels heavy, overstimulating, or hard to keep up with, the issue may not be your motivation or discipline—it may be the amount of stuff you're trying to manage. In this episode, we're talking about why downsizing what you own is one of the most effective ways to reduce resistance in your environment, especially for women with ADHD and executive function challenges.For ADHD brains, clutter creates constant decision-making, visual noise, and mental overwhelm. Too much stuff makes everyday tasks feel harder than they need to be, from tidying and cleaning to staying consistent with routines. When you reduce the inventory in your home, your space begins to support you instead of working against you. Systems become easier to maintain, resets take less time, and starting tasks doesn't feel so heavy.In this episode, I explain how downsizing helps lower mental load, reduce frustration, and create an environment that feels calmer and more functional. We'll talk about why having fewer items makes it easier to see and use what you own, cut down on searching and re-buying, and eliminate the guilt that often comes with excess belongings. A simplified home also makes daily habits easier to repeat, even on days when your energy and focus are low.If you're craving a more peaceful home, less overwhelm, and systems that finally stick, this episode will help you understand why downsizing is a key step toward creating an ADHD-friendly environment that supports the life and rhythms you want.

I recently interviewed Linda Eskay, a Defender Endotype, and someone who brings a refreshing level of clarity to a problem most parents are secretly wrestling with: anxious kids who feel overwhelmed, pressured, or disconnected. Linda doesn't treat anxiety as a disorder; she treats it as information. A signal that something in the environment is misaligned. And she shows parents how to shift the patterns inside their home so that their kids can breathe again. In this conversation, we talk about belonging, nervous system regulation, internal motivation, and what actually creates emotional safety for young people. What I love about Linda's approach is how grounded it is. She brings real stories from her own kids — letting go of grade perfectionism, raising problem-solvers instead of rule-followers, helping them trust their intuition instead of external expectations. We also get honest about the systems that label kids too quickly, the rise in self-silencing among Gen Z, and the emotional cost of growing up in a world that demands adult level clarity from children still figuring themselves out. Coaches, educators, and parents will hear themselves in this episode. Linda blends neuroscience, spirituality, and practical household tools that any parent can use. She breaks down the root causes behind anxiety, the subtle ways kids suppress themselves to belong, and how parents can create a container where their children feel safe being who they are. If you work with families — or you're raising one — this episode gives you tools that make a real difference. Guest Bio Linda Eskay is a heart-centered advocate, speaker, and coach whose message is about true solutions and true prevention of childhood anxiety. Her soul-led mission is to help parents and young people reconnect to who they truly are beneath the layers of pressure, expectation, and fear.

MEXICO'S CIVIL WAR AND THE MCLANE-OCAMPO TREATY Colleague Alan Taylor. Taylor describes the brutal civil war in Mexico between Conservatives and Liberals led by Melchor Ocampo, who sought to reduce Churchpower. To fund this war, Ocampo negotiated the McLane-Ocampo Treaty, offering the US transit corridors across Mexico for money, though the US Senate ultimately rejected it. NUMBER 3
Ever find yourself staring at your pet thinking, “What do we even do for enrichment again?” Same. Today we're walking through how to build your pet's Enrichment Menu: a simple, sanity-saving list of activities you already know help you and your pet.We'll chat through how to brain-dump everything you've ever tried, how to remember what actually worked, and how to sort it all out so Future You (the tired, overwhelmed, “I can't handle one more thing” version) can grab the right option without thinking. Whether you're prepping for a big life change or just trying to survive a Tuesday, your enrichment menu can make meeting your pet's needs feel doable, even when you're oh so tired. TLDL (too long, didn't listen): 3 Key Takeaways 1️⃣ Your brain isn't broken – When life gets messy, it's normal to forget all the good things you've done with your pet. Reduce your cognitive load and create a reference menu. 2️⃣ The magic is in knowing the outcome, not just the activity – Not all activities are enrichment, but most activities are effort. Tracking how each activity affects your pet helps you choose what they need right now.3️⃣ Categorizing by effort + effectiveness = stress-saving clarity – Sorting activities into four buckets makes it easy to grab a high-effect, low-effort option when you're exhausted, or proactively plan ahead when a big life change is coming.For the full episode show notes, including the resources mentioned in this episode, go here.More from Pet HarmonyPet Parents: enrichment ideas and practical behavior tips
Antes de nada, lo primero que tienes que saber con respecto a «caminar», es que andar NO ES actividad física. Cuando pregunto a la gente si realiza actividad física, y me dice: «Sí, salgo a andar 30 minutos al día». Si bien esto es infinitamente mejor que el sedentarismo, es absolutamente impensable que eso pueda considerarse actividad física. El Argumento Biológico: Plantas vs. Animales La diferencia fundamental entre el reino vegetal y el animal radica en el movimiento. Plantas (Autótrofas): Fabrican su propio alimento y permanecen quietas. Animales (Heterótrofos): Necesitan buscar su alimento y evitar ser devorados. Es decir, el movimiento es una condición de supervivencia. Caminar es lo mínimo exigible para un ser humano funcional. Es tu medio de locomoción natural. Confundir la locomoción con el «límite de sobrecarga» (el máximo esfuerzo que puedes realizar) es peligroso, ya que sugiere que estás valorando tu capacidad física al nivel de la supervivencia básica. Conclusión: Tu cuerpo es capaz de mucho más. Si solo caminas, estás cumpliendo con el requisito biológico mínimo, no maximizando tu potencial físico. No pongas el listón tan bajo. ¿Cuánto tengo que andar cada día para estar sano? Siempre nos han dicho que el número de pasos ideal eran los 10.000 pasos diarios. Sin embargo, esto no está respaldado científicamente y de hecho, en su origen los 10.000 pasos se popularizaron a raíz de una campaña de marketing. De hecho, este estudio donde se analizó a más de 16.000 mujeres concluyó que las mujeres que caminaban 4.400 pasos diarios reducían su riesgo de mortalidad un 41%. Y este riesgo de mortalidad seguía bajando hasta alcanzar los 7.500 pasos diarios. Esto significa que puedes reducir drásticamente tu riesgo de mortalidad y extender tu vida útil con tan solo 7.500 pasos diarios. Beneficios Científicos de Caminar a Diario Caminar es una medicina multifuncional que impacta tu salud metabólica, mental y cognitiva. Mejora la Gestión de la Glucosa Dar un paseo de 10 minutos inmediatamente después de las comidas es más efectivo para la gestión de glucosa en sangre que ciertos medicamentos como la metformina. El movimiento ayuda a que los músculos utilicen esa glucosa, evitando picos muy altos y además mejora las digestiones. Mejora la Creatividad y la Función Cognitiva Caminar aumenta el flujo de oxígeno y nutrientes al cerebro. Un estudio de Stanford demostró que la creatividad de los sujetos aumentaba hasta un 60% cuando caminaban. Además, se ha visto que las personas que caminan regularmente tienen mejor las áreas cerebrales responsables de la memoria y el aprendizaje. Reduce el Estrés y Mejora el sistema Inmune Caminar disminuye la ansiedad, reduce los niveles de cortisol (la hormona del estrés) y libera un cóctel de neurotransmisores como la dopamina y las endorfinas, fortaleciendo tu estado de ánimo y tu sistema inmune. Estrategias para Dejar de Ser Sedentario Si estás estancado en 3.000 o 4.000 pasos, aquí tienes trucos prácticos para dejar de ser sedentario e integrar el movimiento en tu día a día: Reuniones de Pie: Si tienes llamadas o reuniones, hazlas de pie. Si es posible, utiliza una cinta de caminar lenta. Cada minuto de pie es un minuto que no estás sentado así que aprovecha cada momento que puedas para levantarte. Evita la Comodidad: Aparca el coche lo más lejos posible de la entrada. Usa las escaleras en lugar del ascensor. Oblígate a buscar el camino más largo. Brisk Walks Post-Comida: Este truco llevo años recomendándolo. Realiza caminatas de 10 minutos después de cada comida. Ligar este nuevo hábito (caminar) a un hábito existente (comer) facilita la constancia. Caminata de Entretenimiento: Cruza el hábito de caminar con el de consumir contenido. Coloca una tablet o un móvil delante de la cinta para ver series o documentales mientras sumas pasos. Te entretendrás igual, pero ganarás más movimiento en tu día a día. Y lo mejor de todo es que no necesitas pasar de hacer 3.000 pasos a 8.000, puedes apuntar primero a 3.500, luego 4.000 y así sucesivamente. La clave no es hacer hoy 8.000 pasos, la clave es construir un estilo de vida que por defecto te permita mantenerte activo. Origen

In this live Red Delta Project Q&A, Matt digs into a big 2025 lesson that came out of writing Beautiful Strength: diet and exercise can absolutely influence how you look, feel, and perform—but if you chase a goal blindly, your habits can backfire and give you the opposite result. Using a “hit the target” analogy (and a few colorful side stories), he explains why your results come from achieving the right objective, not from grinding harder, eating “cleaner,” or following a program with blind loyalty.From there, the episode turns into a rapid-fire Q&A on practical training topics: whether you need to go to failure with Double Tap Training, how to balance intensity with reps and rest, walking as conditioning, yoga vs direct flexibility work, knee stability, building arms with compounds, grip changes, circuit training for endurance, and more. There's also a surprisingly thoughtful section on accepting hair loss—framed through confidence, control, and reframing the story you tell yourself.
In this Season 14 review (Part 3) Andrea revisits key insights from Dr. Shane Creado on the critical link between sleep, concussions and performance. The episode explains how even mild or repeated head impacts and sleep deprivation damage the same brain regions that support learning, memory, decision-making and emotional regulation, and how one all‑nighter can reduce hippocampal learning capacity by around 40%. Practical takeaways include treating sleep as neurological recovery (7–9 hours), protecting the brain after head jolts, avoiding late alcohol and screens, and prioritizing consistent sleep routines to restore learning, resilience and long‑term brain health for athletes, students and professionals. Welcome back to SEASON 14 of The Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast, where we connect the science-based evidence behind social and emotional learning and emotional intelligence training for improved well-being, achievement, productivity and results—using what I saw as the missing link (since we weren't taught this when we were growing up in school), the application of practical neuroscience. I'm Andrea Samadi, and seven years ago, launched this podcast with a question I had never truly asked myself before: (and that is) If productivity and results matter to us—and they do now more than ever—how exactly are we using our brain to make them happen? Most of us were never taught how to apply neuroscience to improve productivity, results, or well-being. About a decade ago, I became fascinated by the mind-brain-results connection—and how science can be applied to our everyday lives. That's why I've made it my mission to bring you the world's top experts—so together, we can explore the intersection of science and social-emotional learning. We'll break down complex ideas and turn them into practical strategies we can use every day for predictable, science-backed results. As we are nearing the end of Season 14 here, it has been about reflection as we have looked back and reviewed past interviews. Our goal has not been about nostalgia, or remembering these interviews, the goal has been about integrating what we have learned. Taking what we know, aligning it with how the brain actually functions, and applying it consistently enough to change outcomes. And if there's one thing this season has reinforced, it's this: Sustainable success isn't built on intensity or focus alone—it's built on alignment. As we move into what's next, (Season 15) the focus shifts from understanding this alignment to bringing this alignment into a tangible, physical form, or embodiment. Not more information—but better execution. After hundreds of conversations with neuroscientists, educators, peak performers, and thought leaders, one truth keeps resurfacing— lasting success is never about doing more. It's about alignment. Alignment between how the brain actually works, how emotions drive behavior, and how daily habits compound over time. Season 14 has been about stepping back—not to reminisce, but to integrate what we have learned into our current life. I knew the minute that I was sent a couple of video clips from our past episodes, that I had forgotten about, that while I thought I had implemented the ideas from our past guests, I had some work to go myself. For this reason, we spent Season 14 and will resume with Season 15 next January, reviewing past episodes, with the goal of noticing what we have now aligned, that's bringing us results in our daily life. Core Reflection When we started this podcast 7 years ago, the goal was simple: bridge neuroscience research with practical strategies people could actually use. What I didn't fully appreciate then—what only became clear through repetition, reflection, and real-life application—is that information alone doesn't create change. Understanding the brain doesn't matter if we ignore what to do with the information we release each week: improving our sleep reducing our stress practicing emotional regulation with consistency that actually changes who we are at the core: our identity Season 14 has been about connecting those dots. Listening again to conversations with voices like Dr. John Medina, Dawson Church, Bob Proctor, Dr. John Ratey, Friederike Fabritius, and so many others, one pattern became impossible to ignore: The brain thrives on simplicity, repetition, and finding emotional safety to implement these concepts—not intensity or a quick fix. We will take the time with each interview review to offer ways for all of us to implement the lessons learned, so that when we finish 2026, we will be able to look back, and see where our changes all began. This week, we move onto PART 3 of our review of EP 72[i] with Shane Creado, MD and his book Peak Sleep Performance for Athletes recorded back in July of 2020. ✔ In PART 1[ii], we covered: How strategic napping, morning brain habits, and even the Silva Method all work together to reset your brain, boost performance, and transform your health from the inside out. ✔ In PART 2[iii] we continued with our review, diving a bit deeper into sleep deprivation and its impact of performance (whether you are an athlete, or just someone looking to improve productivity). ✔ PART 3, we will go a bit deeper into the impacts of concussions and brain injuries on our sleep and performance. Let's go back to 2020 and revisit what Dr. Creado had to say about sleep in this last episode of this season. VIDEO 1 – Click Here to Watch In the first clip of this episode, with Dr. Creado, he dives into the connection with concussions and sleep. He says, “Most people who have had a concussion end up with sleep problems. It makes a lot of sense when you think about the brain and how it regulates sleep and wakeful cycles and then it gets jarred. But what people don't realize is that even a mild head injury can really damage your brain. Even if you're not officially diagnosed with a concussion, you don't have to lose consciousness to have a concussion. You don't even need to have any symptoms to have your brain injured in some way. And then the little injuries along the way add up over time. So the brain is as soft as butter and in a hard, bony skull. Anything that jars it, even whiplash can cause your brain to be injured. And it accumulates over time. What's interesting is that the same regions of the brain that are most damaged in head injuries are also damaged in sleep deprivation and also alcohol use. The frontal lobes, the temporal lobes and the parietal lobes at the top of the brain.”

Happy Winter Solstice! This is a time for rebirth, renewal, and new beginnings. It's also a time to receive, which is something that many of us struggle to do. Do you freely accept the generosity of others or does it make you feel vulnerable? Do you keep a tally of these “transactions” in your mind so that you can quickly repay the giver?

You'll learn why blood sugar spikes, poor-quality fats, and constant eating keep the body stuck in an inflammatory state. This sets the foundation for understanding what truly calms chronic pain. You'll discover which foods actively reduce inflammation and which "healthy" options may actually make symptoms worse for certain people. The conversation explores protein, fats, fruits, and vegetables through a practical lens, helping you rethink how meals are built without rigid dieting rules.

Shray sits down with Deepak Shenoy from Capitalmind to expose how proxy advisors, index manufacturers, credit rating agencies, and one costly habit are secretly making decisions about your investments. What we uncover: Proxy Advisors: How Glass Lewis and ISS voted against Elon Musk's $1 trillion Tesla package—and why their word has become gospel for fund managers managing your money Index Manufacturers: Why NSE and BSE make subjective calls in supposedly "objective" indices. The HDFC-HDFC Bank merger and Reliance-Jio demerger reveal they're acting more like fund managers than neutral rule-followers Current Account Waste: ₹21 lakh crores sitting idle in corporate accounts earning zero interest—₹40,000 crores in lost profits annually Deepak breaks down why passive investing isn't truly passive, how the NBFC rule hurts startups, and why transparency matters as index funds take over the market.

Jennifer shares her remarkable healing journey — from chronic illness and a stage 4 cancer diagnosis to discovering the regenerative intelligence of embryonic plant stem cells.This conversation dives deep into how plant stem cells detoxify the body, support the nervous system, restore cellular communication, and enhance tissue regeneration — all foundational elements for improving bone, fascia, gut, and whole-body health.If you're curious about natural healing, toxicity, inflammation, or how nature-based medicine supports the body's blueprint for repair, this episode is an absolute must-listen.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeWhat embryonic plant stem cells are — and why they're so potentHow plant stem cells support detoxification, recoding, and regenerationThe role toxicity, lymph stagnation, and stress play in disease and bone lossHow fascia communicates with organs, glands, and the skeletal systemWhy modern environments disrupt our body's natural healing processesKey plant stem cells supporting bone and joint healthHow to reconnect to nature's rhythms for deeper healingEpisode Timestamps00:00 — Introducing Jennifer Payeur and her healing journey06:22 — What are embryonic plant stem cells?12:48 — How plant stem cells support the body's detox pathways18:15 — The nervous system, trauma, and cellular communication25:03 — Why toxins accumulate and disrupt bone health32:40 — Fascia, inflammation & the terrain of the body41:12 — The top plant stem cells for bone and joint support49:50 — How reconnecting with nature restores the body56:10 — Jennifer's final advice for supporting your healingResources & LinksLearn more about Jennifer Payeur & Nature Provides: https://nature-provides.comStronger Bones Lifestyle Programs: https://debirobinson.comFollow Debi on Instagram: https://instagram.com/debirobinsonwellnessAction Steps You Can TakeSupport your detox pathways daily (lymph, liver, gut).Reconnect with nature to settle your nervous system.Explore plant-based tools that support cellular communication.Reduce toxic burden in your environment.Add gentle daily movement to nourish fascia and joints.Debi's TakeawayNature knows how to heal.

What if thousands of men are losing their sexual function treating a cancer that was never going to kill them? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Shawn Zimberg — board-certified radiation oncologist and medical director at Advanced Radiation Centers of New York — to unpack the truth about prostate cancer screening, overtreatment, and what every man over 40 needs to know. Dr. Zimberg reveals that the prostate cancer industry has an overtreatment problem — and genomic testing is exposing which tumors need aggressive treatment and which don't. We break down why PSA is broken, why Gleason scores don't tell the full story, and how cadaver studies show men from their 20s to 80s harbor prostate cancer cells that never become clinically significant. We also dive into the science behind radiation therapy, the BioProtect balloon spacer (Dr. Zimberg has performed nearly 2,000 — more than anyone in the world), and the cutting-edge radioligand therapy changing outcomes for stage 4 prostate cancer. If you're a man, love a man, or work with men in health or performance, this is essential listening. About the guest:Dr. Shawn Zimberg is a board-certified radiation oncologist, medical director at Advanced Radiation Centers of New York, and director of radiation oncology at Bronx Care Hospital. He trained at Memorial Sloan Kettering and has pioneered the use of rectal spacer technology in prostate cancer treatment, having performed nearly 2,000 PioProtect balloon procedures — more than any other physician in the world. *** Reduce your risk of Alzheimer's with my science-backed protocol for women 30+: https://go.neuroathletics.com.au/brain-code-yt Subscribe to The Neuro Experience for more conversations at the intersection of brain science and performance.
