Work with the Muscle Intelligence Team: https://muscleintelligence.com/apply Most men who suspect their testosterone is low get a blood test, get told the number is normal, and get sent home still exhausted, still soft in the middle, still wondering what happened to the guy they used to be. Dr. Abraham Morgentaler has spent thirty-five years proving that those men are not imagining it. He is a urologist on the Harvard Medical School faculty, the physician who overturned the belief that testosterone causes prostate cancer, and the author of Testosterone for Life and The Truth About Men and Sex. He was treating low testosterone before almost anyone in American medicine was willing to touch it. In this conversation he explains why the number your doctor is reading may be the wrong one, why symptoms track a completely different measurement, and how a single 1941 paper convinced medicine to withhold testosterone from men for five decades. He also takes apart the estrogen panic driving most TRT protocols today, explains why he refuses to make overweight men earn treatment by losing weight first, and traces exactly where the story about testosterone and heart attacks came from. If you have ever been told your labs look fine, this is the episode that explains what was actually measured. KEY TAKEAWAYS Why two men with identical total testosterone can have completely different symptoms, and which number separates them The reason 98% of your circulating testosterone may not be doing anything for you What he found when he surveyed 25 laboratories about their definition of "normal," and why the answer should worry you Why blocking estrogen on testosterone therapy can cost you the exact result you started therapy to get The reason he treats out-of-shape men before asking them to lose a pound, and why 95% of his colleagues disagree CONNECT WITH DR.

On this Iron Sights episode recorded live on the vendor floor at TTPOA Conference, Scott Howell sits down for a collab with the TTPOA Podcast hosts Brandon Hernandez and Matt Smith. Their guests are Brad Ortiz, Director of Sales for the Law Enforcement Division at Silencer Shop and former officer, and Dewayne Manson, Project Manager at the American Warrior Association, to dig into the thing the Law Enforcement community has been slow to confront: the compounding weight of moral injury, and why the reactive system built to support officers is failing the people who need it most.The conversation goes deep on what moral injury actually is, how it differs from PTSD, and why the officer who has never been in a critical incident can be just as broken as the one who has. Brad and Dewayne walk through what a culturally competent clinician actually looks like, why baseline brain and blood health mapping belongs in the academy, and how the American Warrior Association's R3 program is embedding proactive resilience training directly into TTPOA's regional structure, the first partnership of its kind nationally.But this episode isn't just about mental health. It's about identity. What happens to the guy who IS the job when the job ends? Brad gets personal about his own struggles stepping away from full-time law enforcement, Dewayne shares the moment his teenage son had to pick him up after a DUI, and Scott connects it all to the broader truth that your calling and your identity are not the same thing, and that confusing the two is costing officers their health, their relationships, and sometimes their lives before and after retirement.The back half gets into the business world and how everything these men learned going through doors, managing teams, and serving their communities translates directly into relationship-based sales, leadership under pressure, and building something that outlasts the badge. If you've ever told yourself you're not capable of anything outside law enforcement, this one is going to challenge that story hard.In this episode:• Moral injury is NOT PTSD: it is the cumulative damage caused when you perpetrate something, fail to prevent something, or are ordered to act against your moral compass, and it compounds silently over an entire career without a single critical incident ever being the trigger• Culturally competent clinicians are practitioners who have lived the lifestyle or are married to someone who has: Dewayne walked out of his first VA appointment when the counselor opened with pronouns, then found a female therapist married to a 20-year infantry veteran and experienced a completely different outcome• The American Warrior Association's R3 program is building proactive resilience frameworks inside agencies, including regional resiliency coordinators, vetted clinician networks, and fully funded Warriors Refuge retreats where flights and lodging are free to eligible officers and spouses• Brad Ortiz's Sound Off program at Silencer Shop donates $2 per purchase to a vetted nonprofit fund, and every individual officer purchase routes through silencershop.com where buyers work directly with Brad and Chris• The inflection point analogy: moral injury deposits are made silently every shift, just like compounding interest, and what looks like a single critical incident blowing up is actually the hockey-stick moment on a years-long accumulation nobody was tracking• Social media pile-ons after a justified OIS caused Brad more lasting moral injury than the shooting itself, a blind spot no clinician or debrief ever addressed until he found the right cultural fit in counseling• Baseline blood panels and brain mapping done at the academy level would give officers a before-and-after reference for physiological change across a career: the greater endocrine system and brain health are being completely ignored while TRT gets all the attention• The law enforcement skill set transfers directly into business leadership: problem-solving under pressure, decision-making without perfect information, ownership of mistakes, and relationship-first sales are all things operators have already built on the job, they just don't recognize it as a resumeChapters:0:39 Iron Sights mission statement and welcome2:02 Introducing Brad Ortiz and Dewayne Manson2:49 Brad's background: The Uncommon Line podcast9:40 American Warrior Association programs overview11:43 Resilience training inside TTPOA: the first of its kind12:08 What moral injury actually is and why it's not PTSD14:20 Culturally competent clinicians: Dewayne's personal story31:52 Compounding critical incidents over a career38:37 Social media pile-ons as a hidden source of moral injury44:55 Identity vs. calling: challenging how officers define themselves1:12:18 Relationship-first sales, legacy brands losing ground, and the business parallel1:21:46 How to access AWA, R3, and SoundOff resourcesMentioned:Brad Ortiz — Director of Sales for the Law Enforcement Division at Silencer Shop, former law enforcement officer and fugitive investigator, and former host of The Uncommon Line podcast, joined as a guest to discuss the SoundOff program and the AWA partnership.Dewayne Manson — Representative of the American Warrior Association, infantry veteran who served in Afghanistan and contracted there through 2020, shared his personal journey through moral injury and recovery as context for AWA's R3 program.Matt Smith — Co-host of the TTPOA podcast with 21 years on SWAT, co-hosted this live conference episode alongside Scott Howell and competed in the TTPOA shooting competition the day prior.Brandon Hernandez — Region 7 Director and Director of Training for TTPOA, co-host of the TTPOA podcast, referred to on air as the celebrity of the group when a passerby stopped to greet him.Anna Heil — Associated with the American Warrior Association, attended a TTPOA show in St. Louis and briefed other state organizations on the AWA partnership afterward.Chris — Works alongside Brad Ortiz at Silencer Shop on the SoundOff individual officer program, mentioned as a direct point of contact buyers will reach at soundsoftshop.com.Neil Noakes — Former Chief of Police of the Fort Worth Police Department, cited as an example of a career officer who, when asked how many critical incidents he had been on, simply said he had lost count.Simon Sinek — Author and speaker known for the concept of finding your 'why,' referenced when Brad Ortiz challenged every officer in the room to examine the deeper reason behind their career and identity.
Why do so many people lose the same 10 to 20 pounds over and over again?In this episode, Eric breaks down the two biggest mistakes that prevent people from getting lean and staying lean for life. First, he explains why trying to lose fat and build muscle at the same time keeps most people spinning their wheels, and why committing fully to one goal often produces faster, more sustainable results. Then, he shares the overlooked mindset shift that makes long-term success possible: building a nutrition plan around the experiences you're not willing to give up.Eric also shares a personal update on his TRT journey, including the mental and physical changes he's noticed after the first month, and how he's approaching muscle gain, recovery, and performance.If you've ever felt like you're constantly starting over with your nutrition or struggling to maintain your results, this episode will help you build a strategy that actually fits your life instead of fighting against it.In This Episode:A personal TRT update after the first monthWhy most people fail by chasing fat loss and muscle gain at the same timeThe fastest path to getting lean and staying leanWhy visible abs should be your first milestoneHow to avoid the endless cycle of losing and regaining weightWhy extreme diets and challenges rarely create lasting resultsThe importance of deciding what you're not willing to sacrificeBuilding a nutrition plan around your real lifeHow to enjoy family dinners, vacations, and social events without sabotaging progressWhy sustainable fat loss always beats temporary perfectionIf you enjoyed this episode, subscribe, leave a review, and share it with someone who's tired of starting over every Monday.

Andrew Jenkins, the Traitors star, joins James Smith for a raw conversation about resilience, identity, and rebuilding a life after everything is taken away. At 21, Andrew was pronounced dead at the scene of a catastrophic car accident, lost half his skull and over half his blood, and was told he'd never walk, talk, or recognise anyone again. He walked out of that hospital and then spent 15 years suffering in silence behind a good body, a nice house, and a successful banking career.

My testosterone is 312 ng/dL. By most standards, that's low. But instead of panicking, I sat down and asked myself a simple question: is it actually a problem? In this episode, I walk through my own testosterone journey from TRT and hCG to where I've landed today, and why I'm not rushing to fix a number just because it's low. I look at the tradeoffs I've noticed between higher and lower T: appetite, libido, resting heart rate, HRV, even risk-taking. I also lay out the honest self-assessment I think everyone should run before reaching for a prescription: are your energy, strength, body composition, and drive actually suffering, or are you just reacting to a lab result? This isn't a case against TRT. It's a case for knowing why you're doing it before you start. Thank you to this episode's sponsor, Peluva!

Urologist Dr. Alex Tatum on Girth Enhancement, Testosterone, and Peptide Therapy Most men will never ask their doctor the questions this episode answers. From safe, non-surgical girth enhancement to daily testosterone dosing to the peptides fighting for FDA access right now, this conversation covers what actually works, what's dangerous, and what your doctor probably won't bring up first. Host Dave Asprey sits down with Dr. Alex Tatem, a board-certified urologist with fellowship training in male sexual and reproductive medicine. Dr. Tatem has built his practice and his YouTube following around pushing medicine beyond what the traditional medical establishment allows, with a focus on male girth enhancement, performance enhancement, peptides, and PEDs. They break down the real science behind penis enhancement, including why length surgery still does not exist, how hyaluronic acid injections safely increase girth, and why silicone and PMMA fillers have left men permanently disfigured. Dave and Dr. Tatem also get into cutting-edge testosterone dosing strategies, the peptides driving the biggest gains in human performance and longevity, including BPC-157, TB-500, SS-31, and MOTS-c, and why PT-141 has become the most talked-about peptide for libido and sexual health. You'll Learn: Why hyaluronic acid injections have become the safest, most reproducible method for girth enhancement The truth about penis enlargement surgery, and why length enhancement still has no reliable surgical fix How daily microdosed testosterone compares to traditional weekly TRT protocols Why PT-141 and melanotan II are being used for libido, nitric oxide release, and even prostate health How BPC-157, TB-500, SS-31, and MOTS-c are changing recovery, mitochondria function, and metabolism The dangerous enhancement trends to avoid, including silicone implants and unregulated fillers Why the fight over peptide access at the FDA could determine the future of functional medicine and supplements in America Thank you to our sponsors! - Just Thrive | Get a free 90-day supply of Digestive Bitters (a $90 value) when you start a 90-day Just Thrive Probiotic subscription at https://get.justthrivehealth.com/pages/asprey - KILLSwitch | If you're ready for the best sleep of your life, order now at https://www.switchsupplements.com/and use code DAVE for 20% off - PredictiveMind™ | Get your Brain Pattern Mapping report at predictivemind.io/dave and use code DAVE for 10% off. - ALP | Head to http://alppouch.com/ and use code DAVE for 20% off your first order.

Bryce sits down with Elliot Greenberg, founder of Masculine Man Essentials, to talk about how sheer frustration with underperforming "natural" deodorants turned into a mission to build a product actually made for men — reverse-engineered from high-end cologne, developed through 53 formula versions, and made in America. Elliot shares his origin story: switching to natural products with his son, running through failed competitor brands, hiring a chemist, and building the company from the ground up after selling his house and going all-in. He and Bryce dig into the sales-to-entrepreneur path, why authenticity and customer service came first, and Elliot's personal journey with testosterone and TRT. The conversation then shifts into politics — election integrity, the California governor's race and LA mayoral race, and the current administration's efforts around voter fraud investigations. Bryce and Elliot share their views on where California is headed and why they believe accountability is coming.
Dave Crosland and Scott McNally are back to answer your bodybuilding and PED questions! This week, two listener questions have us breaking down advice from Dave Palumbo. Do we agree with his recommended off-season cycle? What about his thoughts on using trenbolone year-round? We explain where we disagree, where we think his recommendations come from, and why context is everything when it comes to PED use. Plus we discuss the new peptide KW-6356, why two training partners can have very different blood work, whether TRT changes the effects of recreational drugs, estrogen management, whether 10-week cycles are long enough to build muscle, and much more. As always, this podcast is for educational and entertainment purposes only and is intended for mature audiences. ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS 0:00 Tren Replacement Therapy 0:25 Support our Advertisers to support the show 2:45 Calling Out Dave Palumbo 6:30 Critiquing Dave Palumbo's Off-Season Cycle 18:15 Dave Palumbo's Take on Year-Round Tren 32:45 KW6356 – A Refined Stimulant? 46:20 Why Two Training Partners Can Have Very Different Lab Results 51:30 Dave's Health Issues – Gear or Body Fat? 53:00 Does TRT Make Recreational Drugs Less Effective? 56:15 Estrogen Build-Up on TRT 1:00:10 Do 10-Week Cycles Actually Work? 1:06:00 Uncle Dave's Wisdom UK Blood Work Get your Labs done by Dave in the UK : https://evalbloodanalysis.com/home/ Support the Podcast Patreon — Help keep the show growing.

Ted's testosterone was almost 200 — 198 to be exact — and he looked healthy on the outside. Muscle, working out, doing the podcast. On the inside his hormone floor was gone. Then he did the work Mark Holman coaches men through, and now he's at 800. No TRT. All natural. Mark Holman is a mental/physical health and testosterone optimization coach. Creator of the Unchained program (formerly Revival) and the 5-Day High-T Leadership Challenge. He was on the Modern Man Podcast before — this is Round 2. He's since moved his own total T to 1,100, doubled his free testosterone, broke his own income barrier, and met the woman he's now marrying. In this conversation, Mark and Ted go deep on why "normal" testosterone is a lie (74% of Americans are overweight — that's the population setting the normal range), Mark's named diagnostic concept — the Health Handbrakes — that a standard blood panel won't reveal, why TRT is like winning the lottery (no process, no struggle, and you're on it for life), the free-T-vs-SHBG conversation most doctors skip, the sniper-vs-shotgun reframe for supplements (and the Tongkat Ali standardization rule most brands hide), and the leadership-testosterone connection — why lower T makes you more risk-averse and quietly shrinks your ambition. Plus: Ted's own before/after receipts (198 → 800 natural), the University of Chicago sleep study that showed a 5-hour night drops testosterone 10-15% in one week, the 2007 JCEM data showing modern men's T is generationally lower than their fathers' generation at the same age, and Mark's closer on the nice-guy generational curse he inherited from his father and broke. If you're a high-performing man between 25 and 55 with a "normal" blood panel and a feeling something's off — this one's for you. Key insights from this episode: Testosterone as an on-demand hormone (not a fixed number) Why "normal T ranges" are a lie (74% of Americans set that baseline) The Health Handbrakes: the root causes of low T that a standard panel misses The Unchained standard: 700 total testosterone is the floor, not the ceiling Free T + SHBG: why total T alone lies to you TRT is like winning the lottery: no process, no struggle, and you're on it for life Sniper vs. Shotgun supplementation (and the Tongkat Ali 2% eurycomanone rule) The testosterone-leadership connection: why low T makes you risk-averse Ted's before/after receipts: 198 to 800 natural in 18 months Mark's N=1 story: 1,100 total T, doubled free T, wife met, business broke through Chapters: 00:00 The confession — my T was 198 02:04 What's Changed About Testosterone? 04:25 Can You Naturally Increase Testosterone? 05:47 Why "Normal" Blood Work Isn't Enough 08:36 The Testosterone Range Doctors Miss 10:00 Ted's Testosterone: 198 → 800 Naturally 11:57 What to Do If Your Doctor Says You're "Normal" 14:20 Can You Come Off TRT? 15:42 TRT vs. Fixing the Root Cause 17:58 Stress, Sleep & Free Testosterone 20:15 When Is TRT Actually Necessary? 23:04 Why Men's Testosterone Keeps Declining 25:42 The Truth About Testosterone Supplements 29:43 Zinc, Vitamin D & Deficiencies Explained 30:36 Why Most T Boosters Don't Work 33:22 The Hidden Cost of Low Testosterone 36:42 Testosterone, Leadership & Confidence 39:22 Does Sunlight on Your Balls Work? 40:23 Mark's Results: 1,100 Testosterone 45:14 Health, Wealth & Love 45:47 Free Blood Work Analysis 46:47 The Lesson That Changed Mark's Life 49:09 Ted's Biggest Takeaways Connect with Mark Holman: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/markholmanhealth/ Free Master Class: https://go.markholmanfitness.com/testosteronemasterclass Linktree: https://linktr.ee/Markholmanhealth

Meet my friends, Clay Travis and Buck Sexton! If you love Verdict, the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show might also be in your audio wheelhouse. Politics, news analysis, and some pop culture and comedy thrown in too. Here’s a sample episode recapping four takeaways. Give the guys a listen and then follow and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. Buy Sophie Cunningham's Jersey! (HR 1, Seg 1) Bland white guy predictions (HR 1, Seg 2) Rut on the Truth about T and the military (HR 2, Seg 3) Steve Deace with Big Odyssey Thoughts (HR 3, Seg 3) Clay and Buck focused heavily on the growing cultural and political battle surrounding women's sports, transgender athlete participation, WNBA star Sophie Cunningham, and the future direction of the Democrat Party heading into the 2028 presidential election cycle. The hour opened with extensive discussion of Cunningham's comments defending the idea that biological males should not compete in women's sports. The hosts praised the WNBA player for refusing to backtrack under media pressure and highlighted her statements that women's athletic opportunities and protections under Title IX should be preserved. They contrasted Cunningham's position with arguments from progressive activists and former soccer star Megan Rapinoe, framing the debate as one of fairness, biological differences, women's rights, and the future of female athletics. The conversation also explored public reaction to Cunningham's comments, growing support from athletes and fans, and the broader cultural implications of high-profile female athletes speaking out on controversial issues. The hosts then turned to what they described as increasing political activism and ideological bias within the sports media. They criticized coverage surrounding Caitlin Clark, the WNBA, race, and identity politics, including commentary that linked Clark's popularity to broader social and racial debates. Clay and Buck argued that sports journalism has become increasingly politicized and used the discussion to examine how cultural issues influence public opinion and electoral politics. Throughout the segment, they emphasized the connection they see between winning cultural debates and winning elections, arguing that public support for figures like Sophie Cunningham reflects larger shifts in American opinion on gender, sports, and free expression. A major political segment focused on the Democratic Party's developing 2028 presidential primary landscape. Clay and Buck analyzed reports that Democratic leaders are debating whether South Carolina or Nevada should hold the first presidential contest, framing the dispute as a contest between key Democratic voting blocs, particularly Black and Hispanic voters. The hosts discussed how the primary calendar could shape potential candidacies from figures including Kamala Harris, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC), Gavin Newsom, Mark Kelly, Andy Beshear, Pete Buttigieg, Wes Moore, Josh Shapiro, and others. They examined the strategic advantages different states could provide various candidates and debated whether Democratic leaders are trying to influence the nomination process through primary scheduling decisions. The guys speak with former Navy SEAL David Rutherford, host of The David Rutherford Show and a member of the Clay & Buck Podcast Network. Rutherford first shared stories from a recent African safari in South Africa, including close encounters with lions, buffalo, hippos, crocodiles, and other wildlife. The discussion covered the realities of safari tourism, animal behavior, and the expertise required to safely navigate the African wilderness. The interview then moved into military readiness, veteran health, and national security issues. Rutherford praised new Pentagon attention to what he described as "operator syndrome," a collection of physical and psychological health challenges experienced by military personnel exposed to years of combat deployments and high-intensity operations. He specifically discussed the Department of Defense’s growing focus on testosterone levels, endocrine health, hormone replacement therapy (TRT), mental health, sleep performance, and long-term care for active-duty service members and veterans. Rutherford argued that recognizing these issues could significantly improve military preparedness, recovery, and overall quality of life for warfighters. The hosts also examined escalating U.S.-Iran tensions, Middle East security concerns, military deployments, oil shipping routes, and potential military strategy. Rutherford discussed threats to American interests in the region, attacks on U.S. installations, instability surrounding the Strait of Hormuz, and the possibility of future ground operations in Iran. The conversation explored strategic military options, force deployment considerations, and the political implications of an expanded conflict as the country approaches the midterm election cycle. Clay and Buck also discussed how ongoing wars and overseas military engagements could influence voter attitudes and congressional races. Steve Deace joined the show to discuss Iowa politics, the state’s upcoming statewide elections, and the political environment heading into future campaign cycles. Deace analyzed the strength of Democratic candidates in Iowa, Republican prospects, voter registration trends, and the changing electoral landscape. The conversation then turned to entertainment and culture, focusing heavily on Christopher Nolan’s film adaptation of The Odyssey. Deace offered a sharply critical review of the movie, arguing that it deviates significantly from the original source material and reflects broader trends in Hollywood storytelling. The hosts discussed movie production, cultural messaging in entertainment, sound design issues in modern filmmaking, and the opportunity they believe exists for filmmakers to create stories aimed at mass audiences without overt political messaging. The discussion expanded into Hollywood, conservative media, independent filmmaking, storytelling, faith-based entertainment, cultural influence, and audience demand for non-political content. Deace argued that many successful modern films focus too heavily on ideological objectives rather than compelling storytelling. Clay and Buck agreed, suggesting that there is significant market demand for films that prioritize strong narratives over political agendas. They explored how storytelling shapes culture and the role entertainment can play in influencing public opinion. The hosts returned to the subject of Sophie Cunningham, Caitlin Clark, women’s sports, and transgender athlete policies, with Deace praising Cunningham’s refusal to retreat from her position. He argued that standing by one’s beliefs in the face of organized criticism is just as significant as the position itself. The group also analyzed Caitlin Clark’s unique impact on professional basketball, her historic popularity, and the complicated relationship between her fan base and portions of the sports media establishment.

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.

Nick Komodina built a $500k/month business with zero ads, and he almost didn't live long enough to see it. Nick is a conscious leadership and business mentor, author of Surrender, and one of the most direct voices I've come across on what breaks people once they get what they thought they wanted. The story starts in an Eight Mile trailer park and lands in a backyard with a gun to his head. Between those two points is a version of success most of the online coaching world refuses to talk about. Comfort is expensive. Faith is not certainty. Self-sabotage is a goal in disguise. Nick unpacks all three with the kind of specificity that makes you uncomfortable in the best way. We also have a real conversation about content, being the guide instead of the hero, and why a massive spike in followers didn't move his engagement numbers at all. If you've been sitting on a calling and dressing it up as a strategy, this episode names the game you're actually playing. You'll learn: [00:00] Introduction [3:09] Growing up in a trailer park, and the moment stealing $100 became an identity [7:37] Some people see through the matrix while others stay NPCs forever [12:14] Childhood trauma buries the gift God placed inside you [17:35] The biggest content mistake: positioning yourself as the guide, not the hero [24:31] How desperate people con themselves using scammy coaches as a tool [30:18] The night a voice stopped him from pulling the trigger [35:46] The four pillars of success and why training your weakest muscle matters most [47:44] Coming off TRT and healing gut infections forced him to pull back from business [58:46] Adlerian psychology and why you actually don't want to break past 10K months [1:06:49] Letting the right people opt out is the real content strategy Follow Nick on Instagram for more content on conscious leadership, authentic brand building, and turning big visions into reality.

0:00 ... Ross hello and welcome .... introduces panel, and dedicates show #258 to "B-Ball Paul" Reed, who was the #58 overall pick in the 2020 NBA Draft. 0:50 ... Lu Dort is traded from OKC to the Atlanta Hawks in a three team deal ... the guys discuss how Dort's grit and persistence will be a great asset to the Hawks' defensive schemes. World B wonders if this is the beginning of a new era in OKC where players are traded for financial reasons. Ross agrees and feels this was a salary dump by the Thunder. 7:25 ... Bruce is really shocked at how soon the Hawks gave up on Zachary Risacher who was the #1 overall pick in 2024, an All Rookie first teamer in 2025, and is only 21 years old. Ross and World B also comment on how Risacher's role was reduced in his second season. 11:52 ... LeBron James' indecision in choosing his next team is now causing Commissioner Adam Silver to level some sharp comments about how King James is holding up a lot of the decisions the league needs to make because they need to know where he will be playing. Bruce feels LeBron is putting his ego ahead of the league and it may come back to haunt him if he pursues his ownership aspirations in the future. World B agrees that it's an ego thing for LeBron and Ross feels he should finish his career in Cleveland. 15:57 ... The Heat officially introduced Giannis Antetokounpo last week and while they will need more outside shooting, there are some veterans out there like DeMar DeRozan and Russell Westbrook who might fit into Miami's "win now" plans in spite of them not being long range shooters. Ross liked that Giannis is changing his number from 34 to 7 and leaving 34 behind in Milwaukee. 21:25 .... Will Jonathan Kuminga ever find a team? The whole situation is bizarre due to his status as an "unrestricted" free agent who still needs to be in a sign and trade deal in order to find a new team since only teams under the cap can sign him without doing a sign and trade. 26:47 ... Yaxel Lendebourg led the Warriors to the Summer League championship and talked serious smack to the Grizzlies, the team the Dubs beat in the championship game. Bruce was so inspired that he game Yaxel a nickname: "Yakkin' Yaxel." Ross pointed out that Yaxel and Draymond Green have been talking trash to each other on Dray's podcast so the rookie is learning from the master. 30:33 ... Speaking of the Warriors, Stephen Curry has become the first active player to have a major exhibit at the Basketball Hall of Fame due to the way he revolutionized the NBA with his shooting skills. World B and Ross feel it is well-deserved. 33:46 ... Bruce promotes the Hoop Hall Hangout session he will be hosting with Spurs legend Bruce Bowen on August 5th at the Basketball Hall of Fame in Springfield, Massachusetts. 35:00 ... The guys examine the crazy contract Gary Trent Junior signed with the Bucks and how the league is investigating the Bucks for salary cap circumvention. 37:04 .... The Kawhi Leonard trade from the Clippers to the Raptors is on hold due to the NBA investigating the endorsement deal Leonard signed with Aspiration for $28 million last year. Ross feels for the others involved in the trade because their lives and careers are being negatively impacted by the freezing of the transaction. 40:21 ... Bruce shares a story on Keaton Wagler of the Clippers and how he led the team in a bonding experience in Las Vegas where they went to an escape room and his experience in previous escape room visits helped him guide the team to a succesful escape. 41:56 ... Ross wraps the show and says goodbye. TRT 42:08 Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.
Rick Collins, Esq., NSCA-CSCS, is a lawyer who defends the nutrition and fitness community, a partner at Collins Gann McCloskey & Barry PLLC, and General Counsel to the International Society of Sports Nutrition. Peptides are everywhere right now, but most of what's sold online as BPC-157 or TB-500 is illegal — and the FDA is about to decide what happens next. Rick breaks down the science, the legal gray market, and why the military's new testosterone screening policy matters too. Expect to learn what actually counts as a "peptide," how GLP-1 drugs normalized injectable medications and fueled the gray market, what the FDA's own scientists concluded about BPC-157 and TB-500, why Rick's caseload has shifted from steroids to 80-90% peptide cases, what a possible "experimental peptide" middle-ground category could look like, and what really happens when the FDA raids a peptide seller, and much more.

World-Class Numbers: Inside Colton Engelbreit's 2,700-Pound World Record Total Coach Phil opens the news segment with word that powerlifter Colton Engelbreit shattered the all-time world record total in Moscow, pulling roughly a 1,003-lb squat, 612-lb bench, and 1,086-lb deadlift for a total north of 2,700 pounds at a 265-lb bodyweight — beating the prior mark by over 100 pounds. The hosts marvel at how balanced his lifts are (no weak link) and reminisce that a 700-lb deadlift was 'elite' 15 years ago, while today many lifters in their teens and twenties are pulling similar numbers. They debate why standards have exploded: wider access to TRT and peptide-driven recovery, open sharing of training info on YouTube and social media (versus waiting months for the next magazine), kids starting serious lifting in their early-to-mid teens instead of their late 20s, and coaches accelerating athletes' progress by passing down decades of trial-and-error knowledge instead of making each generation re-learn it. Dr. Lonnie Lowery ties in classic overfeeding research, including the Vermont prison studies, to speculate that improved nutrient partitioning — not just sloppier bulking — may explain some of the added lean mass in modern lifters. The conversation closes on the psychology of record-breaking: training age versus biological age, how mental barriers (like the four-minute mile) collapse once someone proves a number is possible, and how seeing elite strength or size in person — rather than on video — permanently resets an athlete's sense of what's normal. 00:00 Welcome and Hosts 00:45 Wildfire Smoke and Air Quality Chat 01:45 Colton Engelbreit's New World Record Total 03:15 Breaking Down an Otherworldly Squat-Bench-Deadlift Total 04:30 How Fast Strength Standards Have Skyrocketed 05:45 TRT, Peptides, and Modern Recovery 07:00 Social Media and the Open Sharing of Training Knowledge 08:00 Bodybuilding vs Powerlifting Culture on Sharing Secrets 09:00 The Pace of Record-Breaking Across Generations 10:00 Younger Athletes Entering the Sport Earlier 11:10 Colton's Early Training Background 12:30 The Risk of Early Sport Specialization 13:30 The Case for Training Variety 14:30 Getting Bigger and Losing Mobility 15:30 Building a Base Before Specializing 16:35 Overfeeding Studies and Lean Mass Partitioning 17:40 Developmental Windows and Early Training Exposure 18:40 Mental Fortitude Built at a Young Age 19:40 Training Age vs Biological Age 20:40 Phil's Son and the Puberty Question 21:40 How Norms Shape an Athlete's Expectations 22:45 Breaking Mental Barriers Like the Four-Minute Mile 23:45 Finding a Gym With Stronger Lifters 24:45 The Power of Witnessing Greatness in Person 25:50 Adam Glass and the Inch Dumbbell Story 26:50 AI Skepticism and the Value of Seeing It Live 27:50 Up Close With Elite Bodybuilders and NFL Athletes 28:50 Standing on the Shoulders of Previous Generations 29:50 Coaches as Accelerators of Progress 31:00 Newton, Einstein, and Building on What Came Before 33:00 Wrap and Sign-Off Donate to the show via PayPal HERE.You can also join Dr Mike's Insider Newsletter for more info on how to add muscle, improve your performance and body comp - all without destroying your health, go to www.ironradiodrmike.com Thank you!Phil, Jerrell, Mike T, and Lonnie

Polymarket isn't just a betting app — it might be the newest branch of the surveillance state. This week on Conspiracy Social Club, we break down journalist Whitney Webb's bombshell investigation tying Polymarket's origins to Palantir, Peter Thiel, DARPA's Information Awareness Office, and the Pentagon's decades-long obsession with predictive markets. We trace the lineage from John Poindexter's Iran-Contra-linked "Policy Analysis Market" all the way to today's prediction-market boom — plus the Zuckerberg and Bancor connections nobody's talking about. Then things get heated: Trump's claims of a massive Chinese data breach exposing 220 million voter profiles kicks off a full-blown 2020 election fight — FISA warrants, Carter Page, Thomas Massie's "Deep Throat" theory, election recounts in Arizona and Georgia, mail-in ballot security, and whether democracy itself is already broken. As always, it's not a debate without chaos — comment of the week, TRT talk, and way too many tangents. Get in the comments and let us know where you stand.

The Clay Edwards Show – Episode 1256: FAFO Friday On this FAFO Friday, Clay kicks things off with some real talk about his TRT journey — building muscle like never before, feeling unstoppable at nearly 50, and why he calls it the fountain of youth (with the caveat that you still gotta put in the work). Clay then shifts gears for a much-needed mental break from the culture wars, opening the floor to listeners about their best concerts ever. He shares his unforgettable experience at the Rock Never Stops tour featuring Quiet Riot, Slaughter, and Warrant — a high-energy night that reignited his lifelong love for 80s hair metal. Expect plenty of nostalgia, stories about the resurgence of rock, grunge discoveries, and classic tales from Lollapalooza, Family Values Tour, and more. Later, Clay dives back into heavier topics: the ongoing Nolan Wells case and his frustration with race-baiters, conspiracy theories, and endless Emmett Till comparisons that cheapen real history. He also breaks down Donald Trump's recent comments on China's role in the 2020 election theft, voter data breaches, and why the evidence keeps getting buried by the mainstream. Unfiltered, no sugar added, and all over the map — just how the show should be. Strap in for laughs, music memories, accountability, and straight talk.

A Supreme Court justice describes carrying a bulletproof vest into her home and watching her family live through swatting threats. That's where our conversation starts to feel less like politics and more like a stress test for the country and for the institutions we rely on when things get ugly. With Michael Garofalo in the co-host chair, we talk candidly about what intimidation does to public service and why leaks like the Dobbs leak aren't just scandal, they're a direct hit to trust, safety, and the court's ability to deliberate honestly.Before we get heavy, we also keep it real with the week's most absurd headlines and what they reveal: the military's new focus on testosterone screening and the debate over TRT, plus the Taco Bell “explosive diarrhea” probe that turns into a surprisingly practical conversation about foodborne illness, dehydration, and how fast a bad travel meal can wreck you. We also share a quick plug and a few behind the scenes notes on the Mark vs. the Mountain season finale on Pure Flix, Great American, and Amazon Prime Video.Then we zoom out to the big chessboard: data centers, the power grid, water allocation, and the AI race with China. We break down why blanket bans can backfire, how data centers may be forced to generate their own power, and how foreign influence campaigns thrive when Americans get turned against each other. We hit fresh Morning Consult polling, the midterm outlook, Iran and the Strait of Hormuz, and a media moment where Jamie Dimon refuses to take the Axios bait.Subscribe, share this with a friend who follows politics closely, and leave a review so more people can find the show.Website: https://www.nodoubtaboutitpodcast.com/Twitter: @nodoubtpodcastFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/NoDoubtAboutItPod/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/markronchettinm/?igshid=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ%3D%3D

**Podcast Description for Episode #1255 of The Clay Edwards Show** Clay shares a rough start to his morning (nausea, hot flashes, and energy drink regrets), then dives into responding to haters after a wild email from "Cooley" labeling him a "sad, pathetic Trump supporter." He reads his recent post "Why I Respond to the Hate" and explains why ignoring lies, slander, and potential deepfakes isn't an option anymore in the AI era. He spotlights a powerful text from listener Keith (law enforcement) exposing racial double standards in the Nolan Wells investigation — no-snitch culture in Black-on-Black crime vs. demands for total transparency from others. Clay also breaks down a Flowood police chase where a Walmart shoplifting suspect in a Kia Soul wrecked and faced charges. The highlight: Andrew Gasser joins Clay in studio for a high-T discussion on Secretary of War Pete Hegseth's new policy mandating annual testosterone screenings for all U.S. military service members 30 and older. They break down the benefits for warfighters (and civilians), TRT's impact on energy, mindset, and performance, the decline in men's testosterone, and the need to bring back real physical fitness standards like the old Presidential Physical Fitness Test (phased out under Obama, now returning in MS). Plus unfiltered talk on self-inflicted oppression, media ads, app frustration, and more. Strap in for raw, no-sugar-added reality radio — fighting cancel culture and shining light on the issues nobody else will touch in Jackson and beyond. #ClayEdwardsShow #FAFO #Testosterone #NolanWells #Mississippi #RankinCounty #WYAB

If you've spent any time in a gym, you've heard it: you need carbs to build muscle. It's gospel. Every bro coach and most personal trainers will tell you the same thing. The problem is it's not actually true. And my guest this week is living proof. Robert Sikes is a pro natural bodybuilder who has been ketogenic for 11 years, eating fewer than 20 grams of carbs a day the entire time. No rice, no grains, no oatmeal, none of the stuff bodybuilders are supposed to live on. And he competes and wins on the world stage. In 2023 he got down to 3.9% body fat, making him the leanest man on earth at the time. He's also the founder of Keto Brick, a shelf-stable high-fat food he originally created for his own competition prep because nothing like it existed. In this episode, we get into the carb and muscle myth, what 11 years of keto has actually done to his blood work, and the tradeoffs nobody on social media wants to talk about. The argument for carbs usually comes down to insulin, which is a powerful anabolic agent. Everything grows in the presence of insulin, muscle included. But as Sikes lays out, you don't need excess insulin to build muscle. You need a caloric surplus, enough protein, enough training intensity, and enough recovery. The rest is just body fat you'll have to lose later, and the athletes chasing muscle through exogenous insulin often pay a steep price for it. The same myth applies to testosterone. People assume Sikes must be running sky-high levels to look the way he does, but he isn't. He competes in natural federations that don't allow TRT, and his testosterone typically sits between 400 and 600. When he was at 3.9% body fat, it dropped to 87. That's not a level anyone would call healthy, but it proves you don't need elevated testosterone to build and hold muscle. I've experimented with TRT myself and walked away from it, and we get into why the negative feedback loop made it not worth it for either of us. Where the conversation really opens up is the philosophical side. When do you intervene and when do you accept what nature gave you? We talk about genetics versus lifestyle, why he doesn't try to cheat death, and why an athlete's identity shouldn't be wrapped up in their physical abilities, because we're all biodegradable vessels of meat and bone that eventually deteriorate. His whole family eats this way too, including his kids, whose first real food was a beef knuckle bone rather than rice cereal. About Robert Sikes: Robert Sikes is a lifetime natural competitive bodybuilder and CEO of Keto Brick, who traded traditional bro-dieting for a strict ketogenic approach back in 2014 after developing disordered eating on a high-carb protocol. Since making the switch, he earned his WNBF pro status and became the leanest man in the world in 2023. He now dedicates his work to coaching others through his Savage System program and fueling performance through his Keto Brick — a 1,000-calorie ketogenic meal he originally created for his own contest prep.

Enhanced Games Reality Check: Thor's Stack, FDA Restrictions, and the Supervised PED Debate Phil Stevens opens with a proud update on his 11-year-old son's powerlifting progress before pivoting to the week's main topic: the Enhanced Games' newly released Thor stack supplement (NAD+, testosterone, Cialis). Phil notes the irony that Thor admitted to using testosterone, deca, and halotestalone at the games, while the supplement product conspicuously omits those compounds. The hosts debate whether the FDA-approved-only drug restriction undermines the games' core premise — Dr. Mike T. Nelson and Dr. Lonnie Lowery explore how international athletes may have had to compete under tighter restrictions than they'd face at home, and the group agrees a better model would involve full informed consent and supervised blood monitoring. They also reflect on how prosecution of steroids has dropped sharply under the current administration, the rapid normalization of TRT and peptides in the general population, and how the reefer madness-style hysteria around anabolics has given way to open conversation. 00:00 Welcome and Hosts 01:42 Phil's Son Breaks National Powerlifting Records 03:38 Enhanced Games Thor Stack News 06:34 Did the Enhanced Games Succeed or Fail? 08:44 The Case for Supervised PED Use 11:46 FDA-Only Rules and International Athletes 16:15 What Doses Did Enhanced Games Athletes Actually Use? 18:40 Thor's Actual Stack vs What They're Selling 20:04 Getting an Enhanced Games Insider on the Show 22:05 Enhanced Games Business Model 24:23 Rise of TRT and Peptides in the General Population 25:07 PED Prosecution Under the Current Administration 26:20 Reefer Madness Then and Now 27:40 Ethics of PEDs Forced Into the Light 28:39 Wrap 29:21 Disclaimer Donate to the show via PayPal HERE.You can also join Dr Mike's Insider Newsletter for more info on how to add muscle, improve your performance and body comp - all without destroying your health, go to www.ironradiodrmike.com Thank you!Phil, Jerrell, Mike T, and Lonnie

I'm trying to find a dosing recommendation for using the 2 in conjunction. Thanks guys, LOVE THE PODCAST! Question 2: Thanks for the great information every week. What do u guys consider healthy fasted blood sugar levels when running HGH , and at what point do you consider coming off and resetting insulin sensitivity? Thank you Question 3: What did you use gluathione for and when do you think its useful? I used to drink heavily and thinking of adding for liver health/repair Question4 : Thank you both for all the valuable information. Watch you guys every Sunday. Couple of questions. 1st I just ordered some 5mg PDE 5 capsules and I want to use them to help with enlarged prostate. I read that it really helps improve the weak urinary flow by relaxing the prostate muscle. Doesn't actually shrink the prostate but helps with the flow. I also take finasteride to help shrink the prostate. Any knowledge on this. And question 2 interested in Kisspeptin myself but im on TRT and I heard I does nothing for you if your on TRT. Again their is always various of options. What do you guys think on this subject. Thanks again for all that you guys do. Keep up the great work.

Episode 222 is our July Instagram Q&A, and per usual the questions did not disappoint. We dig through a big stack covering everything from exercise sequencing and deloads to GLP-1s, telehealth companies, and what we actually learned in our late-stage natty years that still apply.There is a lot of practical programming talk in this one. Where RDLs should actually go in your session, how to build a minimum effective program on three 45-minute sessions per week, the five exercises we would pick if we could only use five for an entire year, and how to structure a four day split when chest and arms are the priority.We also cover softer but equally important stuff: advice for new online coaches, why most people do not actually need a reverse diet, health habits we'll never stop doing, and the best sub $100 purchases that have improved our training. Fun one this month.One quick note: a number of pregnancy and fertility questions came in this round. Those were forgotten. They are getting saved for an upcoming episode so they can get the time and depth they deserve instead of a rushed answer at the end of a Q&A.Covered in this episode:Life updates: Bryan's program drop July 20th, Aaron's boys training trip in Dallas and September Refining Hypertrophy seminar in UtahExercise sequencing for barbell RDLs and whether exercise order actually mattersTRT telehealth recommendations in the US and what to look for in a companyEducational courses vs in-person seminars for coachesTop advice for aspiring online coachesWhy most people think they need a reverse diet but usually don'tHigh protein deficits, low carb diets, and nutrient timing around workoutsGLP-1 use for gen pop: tool or crutch?Current thoughts on deloads now that the dogma has died downLessons from TRT that still apply to natural liftersMinimum effective programming and desert island exercise picksLazy healthy meals, favorite health habits, and best cheap training purchasesTimestamps:00:00:00 – Intro and life updates: Bryan's travel and July 20th program drop, Aaron's Dallas boys training trip and September Refining Hypertrophy seminar 00:02:30 – Exercise sequencing for barbell RDLs.

What happens when men's health gets reduced to one testosterone number? In this episode of hol+, Dr. Taz sits down with Dr. Brandon Smith, MD, a conventionally trained physician practicing at hol+, for a practical and eye-opening conversation about men's health, low testosterone, sleep apnea, TRT, GLP-1s, muscle, stress, hormones, and why so many men are waiting too long to get proactive about their health.Together, they explore why men's health needs a reframe, especially in a medical culture where many men are taught to only go to the doctor when something is clearly broken. Dr. Smith shares what he sees in the exam room, from younger men asking about testosterone before starting a family, to men in their 40s, 50s, and 60s realizing they have spent years pushing through fatigue, stress, brain fog, weight changes, low libido, poor sleep, or changes in performance without knowing where to start.Dr. Taz and Dr. Smith also unpack why low testosterone is not always a simple testosterone problem. Dr. Smith explains the difference between total testosterone and free testosterone, why one lab number is only a snapshot, why testosterone can fluctuate throughout the day, and why morning testing matters. They also discuss why symptoms, context, body composition, sleep, stress, inflammation, chronic illness, and lifestyle all need to be part of the conversation before jumping straight to testosterone therapy.This conversation takes a closer look at one of the most overlooked drivers of low testosterone: sleep apnea. Dr. Smith explains why disrupted sleep can create a stress signal in the body, why men may not realize they are waking up throughout the night, and why the body may lower reproductive hormones when it does not feel safe, rested, or recovered. They also discuss how fasting, chronic stress, high cortisol, poor recovery, and underlying medical conditions can affect hormone levels.If you're listening to this and thinking, “I know something is off in my body, but I don't know where to start,” join the Circle here:
