"I'd already finished my cardiovascular unit. I'd finished my pulmonary unit. I had never heard about this in any of my classes." That was Dr. Joel Bervell's reaction to discovering that a device used every day in hospitals -- the pulse oximeter -- reads less accurately on darker skin tones. He posted a 30-second video about this consequential discrepancy that, to his utter surprise, gained over 500,000 views by the next morning. That video launched Dr. Bervell into orbit as a social media presence and created his identity as The Medical Mythbuster. In just a few years, he's built a following of two million people, earned a Peabody Award and was named to the inaugural Time 100 Creators list, all while finishing his residency.  On this episode of Raise the Line, host Lindsey Smith welcomes Dr. Bervell to explore the roots of this kind of bias and the real world impact of drawing attention to it. “The most impactful biases in medicine exist because no one stops to ask who was included in the original data and who was left out,” Dr. Bervell explains. Stay tuned to also learn about: His YouTube animated series The Doctor is In which helps kids understand how their bodies work, as well as providing medical role models; How to build trust with marginalized communities; His forthcoming book, The Default Body which examines who medicine was actually designed for.

Despite gains in recent years, Black, Hispanic, and Asian communities are still under-represented in the U.S. nursing workforce. We're going to explore that gap and how to close it on this episode of Raise the Line from Elsevier with Dr. Ernest Grant, Vice Dean for Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging at the Duke University School of Nursing. "You get a patient who is more compliant when they see someone who looks like them, who is from their culture and who can advocate on their behalf," he tells host Lindsey Smith.  Dr. Grant bases that and other insights on a rich professional background that includes 50 years in nursing, being a leading advocate for his profession and breaking down barriers himself as a male nurse of color and the first man elected president of the American Nurses Association.  In this thoughtful conversation, Dr. Grant reflects on what it took to earn credibility in leadership roles, how he's navigating the political climate on DEI initiatives, and the causes and solutions to the persistent shortage in nursing faculty, among other pressing issues. Tune in for a uniquely-informed look at what it will take to build a stronger, more representative nursing profession.

You're probably treating recovery as the reward for hard work, when elite sport treats it as part of the work.Andrew May has spent more than two decades coaching in sport and business, and Andrew thinks we have misdiagnosed a generation of exhausted leaders. Call it burnout and you go looking for rest. Andrew says the shortfall is usually capacity, and the first move is measuring it rather than resting on it.Pod O'Sullivan had Andrew on Don't Let The Old Man In podcast and asked him the things he does not get asked on his own show.

Wem können wir eigentlich noch glauben, wenn es um unsere Gesundheit geht? Mehr als 20 Millionen Menschen erreicht der Wort & Bild Verlag jeden Monat unter anderem mit der Apotheken Umschau mit Gesundheitsinformationen. Eine enorme Reichweite - und, wie Andreas Arntzen, Vorsitzender der Geschäftsführung, sagt: eine ebenso enorme Verantwortung. In dieser Folge sprechen wir darüber, was passiert, wenn evidenzbasierte Gesundheitsinformation auf Social Media, Algorithmen, Medfluencer, Deepfakes und eine immer größer werdende Flut vermeintlicher Expertise trifft. Wie unterscheiden wir Wissen von Meinung, Expertise von gutem Storytelling und seriöse Information von gefährlichem Unsinn? Doch unser Gespräch geht noch weiter: Warum liegt Deutschland bei der Gesundheitskompetenz im europäischen Vergleich so weit hinten? Warum investieren wir enorme Summen in die Behandlung von Krankheit, aber vergleichsweise wenig in Prävention? Welche Rolle könnten Apotheken künftig übernehmen? Und welche Chancen eröffnen KI, Wearables und personalisierte Gesundheitsdaten? Andreas erzählt außerdem sehr persönlich, was es bedeutet, angesichts einer schweren Erkrankung mit unzähligen Informationen, Therapieoptionen und gut gemeinten Ratschlägen konfrontiert zu sein und warum irgendwann nicht die Suche nach dem perfekten Weg entscheidend ist, sondern Vertrauen in den gewählten. Ein Gespräch über Verantwortung, Prävention und die Zukunft unseres Gesundheitssystems, aber auch über Zuversicht, Dankbarkeit, Bewegung, menschliche Verbindung und die vielleicht unterschätzte Frage, wie viel unsere Haltung mit unserer Gesundheit zu tun hat.

Send us Fan MailPeaches and Trent sit down with returning guest Marc Esposito and Henry Penix from Soaak for a deep dive into sound frequency compositions, sleep, nervous system regulation, and the future of human performance.Marc explains how retirement led him into the human performance space, working with universities, the military, academia, and industry to help optimize the human weapon system. He also explains why he was initially skeptical of Soaak, why the science started making sense, and why he was willing to put his reputation behind it.Henry breaks down how Soaak uses clinically tested sound frequency compositions instead of generic YouTube frequency tracks. The goal is not magic, not crystals, not woo-woo nonsense — it is using targeted frequencies to help with sleep, anxiety, depression, nervous system reset, low energy, recovery, and performance.The team gets into why sleep is the foundation of human performance, how wearable data from devices like Whoop, Garmin, Oura, Fitbit, Apple Watch, and Samsung Watch can help guide frequency recommendations, and how Soaak is building AI-driven personalized frequency compositions based on what your body is showing in the moment.Marc also talks through his own testing, including using Soaak after brutal threshold work in Texas heat and dropping his heart rate from nearly 190 beats per minute to 80 in about 15 minutes. The conversation also covers stress load, allostatic load, sympathetic and parasympathetic states, PTSD-like symptoms, recovery, family life, and why operators have to learn how to come down after living in fight-or-flight mode for years.This episode is not saying sound frequencies replace hard work. They do not. But if something can help you sleep better, reset faster, recover harder, and show up more functional for your team and your family, that is worth paying attention to.Use code ONESREADY at Soaak.com.Links:- Soaak.com / Promo code: ONESREADY- OnesReady.com- OperatorTrainingSummit.com- ATACLETE / Promo code: ONESREADY- Modern Athlete Strength Systems / Promo code: ONESREADYChapters:00:00 - Intro and Ones Ready01:05 - Soaak Episode Preview02:45 - Marc Esposito and Henry Penix Join03:07 - Marc's Retirement and Human Performance Work05:13 - Why Marc Took Soaak Seriously06:34 - Sound Frequencies Are Not New07:36 - Operators, Sleep, and Coming Down From Fight-or-Flight08:05 - Why White Noise and Apps Matter09:15 - Wearables, Data, and What to Do With It10:17 - Henry's Background and Why Soaak Exists12:46 - From Clinic Modality to Sound Frequency Compositions13:33 - Sympathetic Resonance Explained15:03 - Sleep as Soaak's Most Used Frequency16:02 - Targeting Sleep, Anxiety, Depression, and Reset16:50 - How Frequencies Are Built and Tested20:35 - Why Frequency Effects Make Sense22:06 - Marc's Central Nervous System Reset Testing23:18 - Heart Rate Recovery After Brutal Work24:26 - Performance, Recovery, and Free Chicken25:26 - Hypervigilance, Family Life, and Coming Home Normal27:07 - From 188 Beats Per Minute to 8029:21 - General Minihan and Sleep Efficiency32:33 - Sleep as the Foundation of Performance33:23 - Dual Audio and Listening in the Background35:27 - Getting Frequency Effects Without Extra Equipment37:43 - Military Compliance and Group Use38:23 - Sleep Without More Pills39:43 - Wearable Integration and AI Personalization43:05 - Brain Maps, PTSD, and Long-Term Support43:58 - Neurofeedback-Type Effects46:06 - One Percent Better Adds Up46:49 - Studies, Sleep Records, and Frequency Library49:12 - Stress-Related Doctor Visits49:49 - Epic Fury, Stress, and Mental Health Evacuations51:41 - Readiness, Lethality, and Allostatic Load54:07 - Teaching Young Warfighters to Regulate55:11 - The Rubber Band Stress Analogy57:25 - Frequencies Underwater59:45 - Tinnitus, Earbuds, and Meeting People Where They Are01:01:11 - Soaak Code for Ones Ready Listeners01:02:04 - Use Code ONESREADY01:02:54 - Tinnitus and Frequency Use01:03:38 - Final Links and Wrap-UpSupport the showJoin this channel to get access to perks: HEREBuzzsprout Subscription page:  HERERegister for our Operator Training Summit:  OperatorTrainingSummit.comFind an Air Force Recruiter: AirForce.comCollabs:Ones Ready - OnesReady.com 18A Fitness - Promo Code:  ONESREADY ATACLete - Follow the URL (no promo code):  ATACLeteDanger Close Apparel - Promo Code:  ONESREADYDFND Apparel...

Miljoenen Nederlanders dragen inmiddels een wearable, zoals een smartwatch, die allerlei gezondheidseigenschappen meet. De fabrikanten claimen daarmee inzicht te kunnen geven in hoe goed je slaapt, hoeveel stress je hebt en of je wel genoeg beweegt. Hoe zinnig of onzinnig zijn dit soort hoogstpersoonlijke gezondheidsmetingen? Wetenschapsjournalist Ronald Veldhuizen liet zichzelf doormeten en sprak met wetenschappers.

If you've ever thought, "I'll deal with my health once I actually feel sick," I want you to know something: That's how so many people lose their vitality. Between feeling well and being diagnosed, there is a whole world of clues. Fatigue. Poor sleep. Stress that never quite turns off. A body that still functions… but has no reserve left. In this episode, I'm joined by Marina Moiseyeva, founder of Harmonious Life Family Health Clinic in Brooklyn, New York. Marina is a family wellness practitioner with nearly 17 years of experience and more than 50,000 consultations. She started in holistic health coaching, moved into integrative functional medicine, and now runs a longevity and biohacking clinic that serves kids, adults, and entire families. Together, we talk about what actually stands between you and feeling your best, why so much of modern "stress" starts in your physiology, and why the most powerful biohacks are often the simplest ones. If you've been chasing optimization, supplements, or the latest trend and still feel depleted, this conversation will help you come back to what actually builds resilience.   In This Episode, We Cover: Why people wait until they're debilitated before they get help The hidden "in-betweens" between being well and being sick How sleep and stress quietly drain every system in the body Why coffee and a high-carb breakfast can make you feel anxious Why oatmeal, smoothies, and intermittent fasting don't work for everyone What biohacking actually means (and why it isn't only for the ultra-wealthy) Why vitality is about function and resilience—not perfect wearable scores How to use bloodwork as motivation, not just a diagnosis Why women in perimenopause need a different approach than men The cheap biohacks that make the biggest difference Why sleep should never be the thing you compromise Creatine hydrochloride as a simple support for brain, bone, and muscle How to change one habit at a time without burning out Why food is first-line therapy   A Message I Want You to Hear You do not have to wait for a diagnosis to start taking care of yourself. You do not need the most expensive protocol. You do not need to biohack like a celebrity. You need the courage to notice the small signals now—before they become something bigger. Your body is always giving you information. The question is whether you're listening.   The In-Between of Wellness Most of us were taught to see a doctor when we can't function anymore. When the pain is debilitating. When daily life is already falling apart. Marina says that's far too late. Between well and sick, there are clues. Hints. In-betweens. A little less energy. A little more stress. Sleep that isn't quite restorative. Those early signs are not nothing. They are your opportunity to rebalance before the body is forced into disease, imbalance, or a diagnosis.   Why You Feel Stressed Even When Life Looks Fine We assume stress is always emotional. A hard season. Too many hats. Work, kids, a business, a never-ending to-do list. And yes, that kind of stress is real. But Marina makes an important distinction: Sometimes you feel stressed because your physiology is stressed. If you wake up and drink black coffee in the first hour, you can push your body into fight-or-flight before the day has even started. If breakfast is a croissant, cereal, a fruit-heavy smoothie, or even oatmeal while you sit at a desk, you can spike insulin, raise cortisol, and feel anxious for no "good" reason. The food you eat in the morning can support your nervous system. Or it can work against it. That's why she doesn't treat stress as a personality problem. She looks at the routine. Sleep. Meal timing. Protein. Life stage. Because what worked in your 20s and 30s is often not what will support you in your 40s and 50s—especially as a woman.   Biohacking Is Simpler Than You Think Biohacking can sound mysterious. Blue-blocking glasses. Red light. Expensive gadgets. Extreme protocols. Marina's definition is much simpler. Biohacking is changing your behavior—your lifestyle, your food, your movement, your bedtime—so you feel better. A better sleep routine is biohacking. Choosing a workout that actually suits your body is biohacking. Using a nutrient that supports your energy is biohacking. You do not need to live like Bryan Johnson. You do not need a perfect HRV score. Wearables can be useful, but the "healthy average" they are based on still includes a lot of people with health issues. The real win is your own improvement. If your HRV was 15 and now it's 25, that is progress. Don't chase someone else's number. Chase your own resilience.   Vitality Means Function—Not Perfect Scores We are living longer. That part is not up for debate. The question is how we live those years. Marina's picture of vitality is this: You want to be able to go to the gym the day before you die. Not because fitness is the only measure of a life. Because vitality is function. It's health resilience. It's the ability to keep doing the things that make life feel like yours. Arthritis at 55. Exhaustion. "That's just aging." Some of those things are more optional than we've been told. They take effort. They take personalized care. But the goal isn't to collect more data. The goal is to stay capable.   Sleep Is Your Best Biohack If Marina had to pick one place to start, it would be sleep. She used to run on four or five hours a night for decades. She thought she was fine. No midday crash. No obvious brain fog. Then she experimented with seven hours. And she felt the difference. That's the trap. A lot of people say they have no health concerns. Then the bloodwork tells a different story. By the time a conventional marker is flagged, the imbalance has often been building for years. So start with the foundation that costs almost nothing: Get to bed before midnight. Aim for at least seven hours of uninterrupted sleep in a dark room. Keep the room around 70 degrees. Put the phone on Wi-Fi or off. Blackout curtains. Women often need closer to seven to nine hours. And if you feel like you "can't function" without eight hours, Marina's response is simple: You're normal. Don't steal from sleep to make room for a 5 a.m. workout, fasting, and a cold plunge. That combination can look like the perfect protocol. For a woman in her 40s, it can also be the reason her cycle disappears. Sleep is not the thing you compromise so you can do more biohacks. Sleep is the biohack. If you do have an occasional short night, Marina's inexpensive support is creatine hydrochloride—not the monohydrate form that can make some women feel puffy. She uses it for brain sharpness, and she also likes it for bone, muscle, and liver support. But even that is an add-on. The core is still darkness, timing, and enough hours.   Stop Chasing Trends Healthy intentions can still ruin your health. A perfect workout on five hours of sleep. Intermittent fasting that doesn't match your hormones. A cold plunge because it's popular. Coffee before your body has even woken up. Ten goals at once, then the feeling that you failed. Marina's approach is the opposite of all-or-nothing. Food is medicine. You take that "medicine" at least three times a day. So nutrition is first-line therapy—not something you try to out-supplement later. She has patients list ten lifestyle changes they already know they should make. Then they rank them from easiest to hardest. And they start with the easiest one. Warm water. Not drinking coffee in the first hour. One small, doable shift. If you change one habit every two months, you can have six solid habits by the end of the year. That's how resilience is built. Not through the loudest protocol. Through the one you can actually keep.   Your Action Step Pick one thing. Not ten. Not a full biohacking stack. One. Protect your sleep this week. Get to bed before midnight. Make the room dark. Give yourself seven hours. Or, if sleep is already solid, choose the next easiest habit: delay your coffee, add protein at breakfast, or stop eating too close to bed. Then notice how you feel. That's the data that matters.   Final Thoughts You don't need a more extreme version of health. You need a more sustainable one. Your sleep. Your stress. Your food. Your season of life. Those are the foundations of vitality. Optimization is optional. Resilience is not. Keep listening to your body. Your energy matters.   Resources Learn more about Marina Moiseyeva: Website: https://liveharmoniouslife.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/liveharmoniouslife/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/LiveHarmoniousLife/ Book: Harmonious Healing Blueprint If you're in Brooklyn, you can work with Marina at Harmonious Life Family Health Clinic.

What does it take to compete on the world's biggest stage and then pivot to one of the most demanding training paths in professional life? Today's guest, Samantha "Sammy" Kolowrat, has done both, and she has some fascinating insights into the commonalities of those two worlds on this episode of Raise the Line. “Something that really drew me to medicine is the team atmosphere that's there as you work towards a common goal, and there's this level of intensity that's very reminiscent of the experiences I had as a professional athlete.” Originally from Prague, Kolowrat represented Czechia at six IIHF Women's World Championships and the 2022 Beijing Olympics, and also captained the Division I women's hockey team at the University of Vermont while earning degrees in biology and pharmacology.  As she starts an anesthesiology residency at Vanderbilt University, she credits her athletic career with shaping how she handles pressure, feedback, and teamwork in medicine. "The more I improve, the more knowledge I acquire, the more skills I hone, the better care my patients get," she tells host Lindsey Smith, describing what drew her to a field that rewards the same relentless fine-tuning as elite sports. This engaging conversation also explores: How crippling performance anxiety as a Division I athlete ended up preparing Kolowrat for the operating room; Why she was drawn to anesthesiology's "well-oiled machine" atmosphere; The mentorship gap she's working to close for the next generation of athlete-physicians.

Episode Summary In episode 337, we welcome Jonathan Criss from Vital Lyfe for a conversation about Apple, wellness, healthier habits, and how technology can support everyday living better. Jonathan brings a Vital Lyfe perspective to the discussion as we explore the ways Apple devices, apps, wearables, and intelligent tools can help people track health, stay organized, build routines, and make more informed choices. Episode Notes Jonathan Criss of Vital Lyfe joins the conversation to bring a practical wellness viewpoint to Apple's technology ecosystem. Rather than looking at devices only as gadgets, this episode considers how the iPhone, Apple Watch, apps, reminders, health data, and AI-powered tools can support better routines and more intentional daily choices. A major focus of this episode is the connection between personal technology and personal well-being. We discuss how Apple's health and productivity features can help users notice patterns, stay accountable, simplify decisions, and create healthier habits over time. We also explore Apple Intelligence and Siri AI through the lens of real-life usefulness. If these tools become more contextual and reliable, they could help people organize their day, remember priorities, support wellness goals, and reduce friction in the small tasks that shape daily life. Listener Takeaways Jonathan Criss brings a Vital Lyfe perspective to the conversation about Apple and wellness. Apple technology can be useful when it helps people build consistent, sustainable habits. Wearables and health apps are most valuable when they turn data into simple, practical action. AI assistants may become more helpful when they support planning, reminders, focus, and routine-building. The best technology should make healthy choices easier, not more complicated.

"Our own personal longevity is only 25% genetic. So the other 75% are in our control." — Michael Clinton  KEY LINKS  Learn more about “Longevity Nation: The People, Ideas, and Trends Changing the Second Half of Our Lives” HERE  Michael Clinton's Roar Forward, including the Reimagineers stories and free monthly newsletter is HERE  Connect with Michael Clinton on LinkedIn HERE   Read Age Better Cheat Sheet on Substack HERE  Barbara's Website is HERE   ABOUT THIS EPISODE  Michael Clinton ran Hearst Magazines. Then he left, wrote ROAR, built a company, and ran a marathon on every continent — most of it after 60.  For his new book – Longevity Nation -- he interviewed more than 70 experts. Not just doctors. Technologists, urban planners, dermatologists, wealth strategists. What came back was a single, connected picture of what it actually takes to live a long life well — and it is far more in your hands than you have been led to believe.  Here's what you'll take away:  Life layering. Why the old sequence — school, work, retire — is obsolete, and how to build a second set of identities in your 50s, 60s, and beyond. The 57-year-old with the kids gone and the job gone is at a beginning, not an end.  Proof it's never late. A woman took her first welding class at 70 and launched a business at 81. A veterinarian started school at 56.  Baby steps, not overhauls. Michael's exact instruction for starting anything new — and why nobody solves this in a weekend.  The money conversation nobody has. The one question to ask your bank that tells you whether your money outlives you. Plus a statistic about women and their finances that will make you sit up.  Loneliness and frailty. Why your world quietly shrinks, how that becomes a physical problem, and the single habit every expert on this show agrees on.  What's actually here now. Wearables, early-detection testing, GLP-1s beyond weight loss, and precision medicine built around your biology, not the average.  And one thing to do this week. Just one. You'll know it when you hear it.  You can't control getting older . . . but you can control how you do it.

To mark it, this one's a solo deep dive into wearables and where they actually fit into your fitness transformation.   Akash breaks down the 4 metrics worth paying attention to (sleep, steps, resting heart rate, and recovery), what each one actually reveals about your body, and why the real value of a wearable isn't the tech, the AI coaching, or the fancy graphs. It's awareness. You go from guessing to knowing.   He also runs through the popular devices (Apple Watch, Aura Ring, Whoop, Garmin, Fitbit) and why the one you pick matters far less than actually wearing it and looking at the data every week.   This is life by design, not by default.

What if the path to healthy longevity lies not in choosing between ancient healing traditions and modern science, but in learning how to integrate both? In this episode, Dr. Gillian Lockitch speaks with Dr. Mao Shing Ni—38th-generation doctor of Chinese medicine, co-founder of Tao of Wellness, and author of Secrets of Longevity—about how Traditional Chinese Medicine can complement modern approaches to healthspan optimization. Dr. Mao explains the foundational principles of Chinese medicine, including balance, the five elemental systems, and the links between organ function, emotional health, stress, and aging. This conversation also explores why daily habits, Tai Chi, Qigong, meditation, and purposeful movement remain some of the most powerful healthy aging strategies for preserving vitality, resilience, and independence over time.  Dr. Mao Shing Ni is board certified in anti-aging medicine and trained in acupuncture, herbal medicine, nutrition, Tai Chi, Qigong, and integrative East-West healing approaches. Dr. Mao is the author of more than 20 books, including Secrets of Longevity and Second Spring, and has spent decades translating traditional healing wisdom into practical modern health guidance. His work integrates Traditional Chinese Medicine with contemporary research in preventive health, resilience, and preventing age-related disease. A longtime advocate for aging youthfully, he focuses on helping people improve daily habits, restore balance, and build sustainable foundations for lifelong vitality. He is internationally recognized for bringing Taoist medicine, mind-body practice, and lifestyle medicine into the mainstream longevity conversation.  Episode Timeline  00:00 – Welcome, introduction, and why ancient wisdom still matters in modern longevity  04:05 – Dr. Mao's personal healing story and the family lineage that shaped his life's work  07:37 – The core principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine: yin and yang, balance, and the five elemental systems  13:11 – How Chinese medicine views the liver, lungs, gut, kidneys, stress, and emotional regulation  17:28 – Wearables, AI, and the intriguing intersection of modern health data with Chinese medicine principles  21:36 – Why Secrets of Longevity focuses on practical, habit-based actions rather than theory alone  24:08 – The fundamentals of longevity: sleep, movement, stress reduction, purpose, and healthy daily habits  28:02 – Tai Chi and Qigong as powerful mind-body tools for cardiovascular health, balance, bone strength, and brain health  30:21 – Ballroom dancing, movement diversity, coordination, and cognitive resilience  32:00 – Where longevity science is headed: regeneration, organ support, prevention, and extending healthspan  36:04 – Dr. Mao's final message: healthy longevity is built on habits, consistency, and personal responsibility  Connect with Guest  Tao of Wellness https://taoofwellness.com/  Yo San University https://yosan.edu/  Secrets of Longevity by Dr. Mao Shing Ni https://taoofwellness.com/product/secrets-of-longevity/  Second Spring by Dr. Mao Shing Ni https://taoofwellness.com/product/second-spring/  Connect with your host, Dr. Gillian Lockitch Connect with your host, Dr, Gillian Lockitch email: askdrgill@gmail.com  For a personalized one on one conversation about health aging strategies Website: www.askdrgill.com https://www.facebook.com/gillian.lockitch/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/gillianlockitch/

An 11-year-old boy in rural Zambia once told Dr. Genesis Mwamba that he was about to attend school wearing shoes for the first time in his life. That moment, Dr. Mwamba says, crystallized why he started the Lead Me Back Foundation to provide school supplies and other support to marginalized communities in his native country.   As you'll learn in this inspiring installment in our NextGen Journeys series, Dr. Mwamba started the foundation in 2021while still a medical student because he had experienced the power of education as an “equalizer” in his own life, taking him from humble roots to a career in medicine. He and his colleagues have grown the bootstrapped organization to a point where it now provides hundreds of thousands of people across the country with educational access, climate education and community health clinics. “I've always been drawn to opportunities and initiatives that bring help to humankind,” he tells Raise the Line host Dr. Parsa Mohri. This episode also explores: What building "with" a community rather than "for" it looks like in practice; The storytelling strategy that attracted donors and partners; How his mother's untimely death inspired his commitment to preventive medicine.   Mentioned in this episode: Lead Me Back Foundation If you like this podcast, please share it on your social channels.

Longevity expert Dr Florence Comite joins me to explain why testosterone, not estrogen, drives body composition and ageing in midlife women. Decline isn't inevitable - it's programmable. She unpacks why testosterone (which women carry in larger amounts than estrogen) drives muscle, visceral fat and brain fog from your 30s on, why only a third of us should fast, and the five biomarkers - fasting glucose, HbA1c, fasting insulin, cholesterol risk ratio and free testosterone - that predict where your healthspan is headed and how to change it. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN Why women carry more circulating testosterone than estrogen, and what its decline does to muscle, visceral fat and cognition from your 30s What "I don't feel like myself anymore" is actually signalling beneath the surface How cortisol quietly drives the anxiety-out-of-nowhere, the 2am wake-ups and the stubborn weight around your middle Why only a third of women should fast, and the 3-hour glucose test that tells you which third you're in What the five non-negotiable biomarkers reveal about where your healthspan is headed TIMESTAMPS 00:00 Intro: Why You Don't Feel Like Yourself After 35 - Peak Health, Testosterone Decline & the 30s Shift 05:52 - Perimenopause, Cortisol & Anxiety Out of Nowhere: Belly Fat, Sleep and the Caregiver Load 13:28 - Wearables, CGM & the Fasting Third/Third/Third: Measuring How Your Body Really Ages 20:11 - Who Should Actually Fast: The 3-Hour Glucose Test, Protein at Every Meal & the Oatmeal Trap 27:00 - Testosterone for Body Composition & Energy: UK Access, the 2024 Study & Protein for Muscle 33:46 - The 5 Biomarkers That Predict How You Age - Plus the 7 Patterns of Health Decline 39:37 - Decade by Decade for Women vs Men: Bone Loss, Osteoporosis, Andropause & Owning Your Healthspan VALUABLE RESOURCES - Invincible (Dr Comite's new book): https://www.penguin.co.uk/books/475986/invincible-by-comite-florence/9781529977066  - Dr Florence Comite's website: https://www.comitemd.com/  - Follow Dr Comite on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drflorencecomite/  AlgaeCal Plus*‡: Science-backed supplements designed to support healthy aging

Welcome to another episode of LIFTS, where we explore the future of fitness, wellness and human performance. In this episode, hosts Matthew Januszek and Mohammed Iqbal are joined by Nico Varano, CEO of SWTHZ, one of North America's fastest-growing recovery and wellness brands. Recovery has become one of the biggest growth opportunities in health and fitness, with consumers increasingly seeking experiences that help them reduce stress, improve performance and build healthier habits. But what does it take to build a business around recovery? Nico shares his journey from becoming SWTHZ's very first franchisee to leading the company as CEO. Together, they explore why recovery is becoming a category in its own right, how contrast therapy is evolving beyond a wellness trend, and why hospitality, technology and habit-building are central to creating lasting customer experiences. The conversation also looks at the role of AI, wearables and personalised data, the differences between private and communal recovery experiences, and what the future holds as SWTHZ continues its expansion across North America. In this episode, we cover: Nico's journey from customer to CEO Why recovery is becoming a category of its own Building a scalable wellness franchise The rise of private contrast therapy experiences How hospitality is redefining customer expectations The role of AI, wearables and data in recovery Why habit-building matters more than one-off experiences The future of recovery, wellness and preventative health

Club soccer is loaded with buzzwords, but on the field, it still comes down to kids, coaches, and parents either helping or getting in the way. Adam sits down with Rockford Raptors executive director Frank Mateus to talk honestly about development, recruiting, mindset, and what's really happening in youth soccer right now.Episode SummaryYouth soccer has turned into long drives, club fees, showcases, tryouts, and college hopes stacked on top of regular school and life. Frank lays out how Rockford Raptors grew from a doctor buying land for his kids to a full path from three‑year‑olds in rec jerseys to ECNL and USL teams playing under the lights at Sportscore Two.The back-and-forth stays practical: what scouts actually watch, why high school soccer can still matter, and how tech, video, and constant tracking affect how kids think about their game. A big chunk of the talk is parents—sidelines, car rides, and the way one comment can either steady a kid or rattle them for a whole season. It's straight, on-the-ground detail from people who are actually in the gyms, on the fields, and at the tournaments.Key TakeawaysRockford Raptors' path: 3‑year‑olds to ECNL to USLHow Doc Wedgebury's idea became Sportscore TwoWhy big tournaments land in Rockford, not the suburbsClub vs high school soccer and where recruiting really happensVideo, highlight clips, VAR, and how kids now watch the gameTesting and metrics vs reading the game with your eyesHow physical the modern girls' and boys' game has becomeConfidence, mistakes, and what players tell themselvesCoaching the coaches so the standard keeps moving upParents, car rides, and how families can quietly cost a kid chancesEpisode Chapters00:00 Intro, Oak Performance Radio & who Frank is02:11 Doc Wedgebury, early days, and Sportscore Two04:42 Rockford's space, tournaments, and local economy07:22 How club soccer and ECNL changed the landscape11:06 Tech, film, World Cup, and kids copying the pros19:10 Fitness tests, numbers, and the mental side of data23:07 Physicality, strength work, and the girls' and boys' game28:43 Mindset, mistakes, and staying in it after a goal34:04 Coaching coaches and reviewing your own decisions37:29 Parents, college coaches, and the car‑ride problem52:00 Rockford community, facilities, and always upgrading59:47 Where to start with Raptors and Raptors Youth Soccer LeagueResources MentionedRockford Raptors – Competitive club based in Rockford, IL (boys and girls, ECNL, USL2, USLW)Raptors Youth Soccer League (RYSL) – Entry‑level and rec program for young playersSportscore Two / Wedgbury Stadium – Rockford Park District soccer complex that grew from Doc Wedgebury's original fieldsUSL2 / USLW – Pre‑pro leagues Raptors compete inECNL – League Frank points to for top youth competition and recruitingFIFA World Cup (1994 and current) – Used as markers for growth of U.S. soccerEnglish Premier League, Bundesliga, La Liga – Pro leagues kids watch and copyVAR / NFL replay – Examples around officiating and video reviewOura Ring / Whoop strap – Wearables mentioned for sleep and recovery dataAbout the GuestFrank Mateus is the Executive Director of the Rockford Raptors in Rockford, Illinois.

Michael Snyder is a professor and genomicist who wears eight pieces of wearable technology every day: four smartwatches, two rings, and two hearing aids. These devices give him a personal data dashboard to help him understand his health in real time. In this interview, Michael joins Sherrell to discuss how wearables can help you identify health conditions, from irregular heartbeats to a COVID-19 exposure, to even which food triggers your glucose spike. The two also talk about why everyone should wear a CGM (continuous glucose monitor), how wearing wearables can help you stay more accountable to your health goals, and why it's important to know who owns your data.

"We have an untapped army of 200,000 PAs that really could step up and drive some change in the healthcare system if we weren't restricted,” says Dr. Jennifer Kolb, capturing her motivation for pushing to update practice regulations for physician associates that date back more than 50 years.  As Chief Medical Officer and Senior Vice President of Clinical Affairs at the American Academy of Physician Associates, Dr. Kolb has been in the middle of the fight at the state and federal level to grant PAs more independence from physicians, full billing rights, and the increased ability to practice across state lines, among other changes.  In this pertinent conversation with Raise the Line host Lindsey Smith, Dr. Kolb explains how these updates could help close huge gaps in access to healthcare, better manage the fight against chronic diseases and improve patient outcomes.   Dr. Kolb also addresses:  Why the name shift from "assistant" to "associate" took her years to fully appreciate; How a 10-year gap in life expectancy across Chicago zip codes shapes her view of health equity; Why PA's shouldn't wait for permission to start making change in their communities.

She has authored two books, "100 Calorie Snacks" and her newly released "100 Self-Care Practices," and hosts a free monthly wellness webinar for her community. Episode Highlights Health Span Versus Lifespan Caite opens the conversation with a foundational truth about aging: "the goal is that you're healthy" so that health span matches lifespan, rather than spending retirement years cycling through doctor visits instead of living out long-planned goals. The Three Macros Made Simple Caite breaks down nutrition into carbs, protein, and fat using a memorable analogy from Winnie the Pooh, where protein is the slow and steady Eeyore, carbs are the quick-burst energy of Tigger, and healthy fat is the wise old owl who balances the two. Pairing macros together, she explains, prevents the blood sugar spikes that come from eating carbohydrates alone. Sugar Cravings and Self-Awareness Caite speaks candidly about her own history with sugar, sharing that she has "a sugar addiction" and continues to fight for better health every day, even while enjoying a slice of cake on her birthday without spiraling into more sugar. Restoring the System Through Sleep and Stress Management Caite calls sleep "nature's nurse," describing it as the time when the body repairs itself, and encourages listeners to release the badge of honor mentality around running on too little rest. She and Julie also discuss box breathing as a simple reset tool, with Caite walking through the visual of breathing around the four sides of a box to calm the nervous system in moments of stress. Wearables and Intentional Tracking Caite discusses her experience wearing a continuous glucose monitor and an aura ring to understand how food, sleep, and travel affect her body, emphasizing that tracking data only matters when it leads to a change in behavior. Movement and Muscle as Retirement Planning Caite reframes exercise as an investment, noting that adults begin losing eight percent of muscle mass per decade after their thirties, and encourages listeners to build strength for the practical demands of daily life, from carrying luggage to preventing falls. Building an Eating Routine Caite recommends eating every two and a half to three hours in smaller, protein and carb balanced portions rather than one or two large meals, and encourages starting the day with protein within about an hour of waking. Choosing Health as a Daily Choice Caite closes with an empowering reminder that a family history of type two diabetes does not have to be a destiny, and that being healthy is a choice made through consistent, sustainable steps rather than a single overnight change. Key Takeaways Health span should be prioritized alongside lifespan through consistent daily habits Balancing protein, carbs, and healthy fat helps prevent blood sugar spikes Sleep and stress management are foundational tools for restoring the body Wearable data is only valuable when it leads to intentional action Building muscle supports independence and confidence at every stage of life Sustainable change comes from small, repeatable choices rather than overnight transformation Connect with Caite Corripio Website: behealthyandvibrant.com Connect with Julie Riga Stacklist: https://stacklist.app/julieriga #stayoncourse #healthspan #wellnesscoach #selfawareness #healthylifestyle Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Most adults who smoke want to quit, and about half try to do so in any given year, yet fewer than one in ten succeed. That persistent gap between intention and outcome is one of the central challenges in public health, and it's exactly the kind of problem that calls for new thinking about how to communicate with people to support behavior change.  Dr. Amanda Graham has been a leading force in doing just that in her role as chief health officer at Truth Initiative, the nation's largest non-profit public health organization dedicated to preventing addiction among young people and helping people of all ages to quit tobacco. On this episode of Raise the Line from Elsevier, Dr. Graham, who holds a PhD in clinical health psychology and has done 25 years of NIH-funded research focused on technology-based cessation interventions, helps us understand the interplay between behavioral science and digital communications in the field. "A well-timed message can really be powerful in interrupting what for many people is kind of an automatic behavior, especially via text, which data tell us is an extraordinarily powerful modality,” she explains to host Lindsey Smith.  Tune-in to understand where the field is heading, and to learn about: Why "push" technology may work better than apps and websites when it comes to breaking automatic behaviors; How the rise of e-cigarettes, nicotine pouches, and heated tobacco has scrambled decades of public health messaging; How highschool smoking rates plunged from over 30% to less than 2%.

"There's no such thing as a weight problem — it's a weight symptom." Ben Azadi joins Robert Lufkin MD to dismantle the calorie myth and reveal the metabolic root cause underneath stubborn fat, fatigue, and disease.Ben Azadi — functional health practitioner, founder of Keto Camp, and bestselling author of "Metabolic Freedom" — unpacks metabolic flexibility, diet variation, fasting, and why staying in ketosis forever can backfire. He previews his revised book "Keto Flex" (out July 21) and shares how he lost 80 pounds and rebuilt his metabolism from the inside out.Chapters:00:00 — Introduction01:30 — Ben Azadi's 80-Pound Transformation Story03:00 — What Was Actually Broken in His Metabolism06:00 — "You Don't Have a Weight Problem, You Have a Weight Symptom"07:30 — The 3 Percenters: Why 97% Chase Symptoms08:30 — Ask the Right Question: How Do I Lower Insulin?09:30 — Diet Variation: Why Cycling In and Out of Ketosis Works Better12:00 — Feast Day vs Cheat Day: Flexing to Healthy Carbs13:30 — Warning Signs You've Stayed in Keto Too Long15:00 — Hormesis, Stress, and the Post-Menopause Caveat16:30 — Using Heart Rate Variability to Dial In Your Stressors18:00 — The Carnivore "Toxin Terminator" and Plant Compounds22:30 — Chapter 9: A Customized Keto Plan for Women25:30 — Fasting, Autophagy, and mTOR Balance28:30 — How a 48-Hour Fast Resensitizes Your Dopamine Receptors30:00 — Where People Get Fasting Wrong (Don't Forget to Feast)33:00 — Metrics That Track Real Progress (Glucose, CGM, Oura)34:30 — AI, Wearables, and the End of One-Size-Fits-All Diets37:30 — What's New in the Revised Keto Flex40:30 — Metabolic Freedom vs Keto Flex: Which Book First?42:00 — Final Message: Identify the Interference, Let the Body HealKey takeaways:Weight is a symptom, not the problem — chase the root cause (insulin, inflammation, hormones), not the number on the scale.Metabolic flexibility beats rigid dieting: cycling in and out of ketosis with feast days keeps the body adaptive.Staying in ketosis indefinitely can backfire — watch for warning signs and build in strategic carb refeeds.Hormetic stressors (fasting, cold, exercise) help — but dose them to your recovery, tracked via HRV and tools like the Oura ring.A 48-hour fast can resensitize dopamine D2 receptors and reset reward signaling.Women often need a cyclical, customized keto approach — one-size-fits-all fails.Studies & sources:Fasting and dopamine D2 receptor availability — Dunn et al., Diabetes Care 2012 — diabetesjournals.orgKetogenic diet raises glutathione (hormesis / antioxidant defense) — Napolitano et al., Metabolites 2020 — pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.govBen Azadi's revised book "Keto Flex" (bonuses) — ketoflexbook.comDr. Lufkin's book "Lies I Taught in Medical School": robertlufkinmd.com/lies⭐ Enjoying the show?

Are your sleep trackers helping you sleep better? Or making you more anxious about your sleep? In this episode, we welcome back sleep expert Mollie Eastman, founder of Sleep Is A Skill, to explore how chasing the perfect sleep score can actually undermine restorative sleep, while sharing practical strategies for improving sleep through mindset shifts, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and smart use of wearable data. Mollie also discusses overcoming the "First Night Effect" while traveling, when to consider at-home sleep studies, and the foundational tests that matter most before investing in advanced biohacks. Finally, she shares her personal experience with psychedelic-assisted therapy at Beckley Retreats, revealing how addressing suppressed emotions and unresolved stress transformed both her sleep and overall well-being.Mollie Eastman is the creator of Sleep Is A Skill and the host of The Sleep Is A Skill Podcast. Sleep Is A Skill is a company that optimizes people's sleep through a unique blend of technology, accountability, and behavioral change. After navigating insomnia while traveling internationally, she created what she couldn't find - a place to go to learn the skill set of sleep. With a background in behavioral change from The Nonverbal Group, she became fascinated with chronobiology and its practical application to sleep and our overall experience of life. Knowing the difference between a life with sleep and without, she's now dedicated her life to sharing the forgotten skill set of sleep. In the spirit of that goal, she has created the #2 sleep podcast, where she has interviewed over 200 sleep experts, written a popular weekly sleep newsletter for over six years, partnered with luxury hotels & lifestyle brands, coached the world's top poker players, and has appeared on over 175 podcasts.SHOW NOTES:0:39 Welcome to the podcast!2:16 About Mollie Eastman3:19 Welcome her back to the show!4:48 Are wearables helping or harming?7:04 Placebo-Nocebo effect11:25 Getting relief from sleep data14:00 The ‘mindset' undermining sleep16:13 Acceptance & Commitment Theory (ACT) for Insomnia18:38 Using biohacks for “First Night Effect”25:05 Sleep disorders & at-home sleep studies32:14 Auditing sleep data36:13 Baseline tests to start with39:51 Her latest discovery on sleep support40:55 Beckley Retreats48:47 The benefits of psychedelics on her sleep54:24 The impact of suppressing emotions58:57 Where to find herRESOURCES:Website: Sleep Is a SkillSleep Obsessions' Monday Newsletter8-Week Wearable Group “Optimize Your Sleep” ProgramSleep Is A Skill PodcastLinkedInIG: @mollie.eastmanSleep Tests:SleepDoctor.comSleep Image RingHappy RingSleep Doctor Watch PAT - WatchPATOnera Sleep StudySupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/biohacker-babes-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

Samuel Brown, M.Ed., CSCS is a Cognitive Performance Specialist for the U.S. Air Force and a strength and conditioning professional who has worked everywhere from collegiate athletics to elite tactical units. Sam spends his days training Air Force pilots and aircrew who run on nicotine, caffeine, and alcohol — and almost never turn off their nervous system. In this episode he reveals why the toughest operators need recovery just as much as intensity, and what years of coaching in Altus, Oklahoma taught him about real performance under extreme cognitive load. Expect to learn what Air Force pilots are actually like to train, why the nicotine-caffeine-alcohol "trifecta" dominates military performance culture, how the physical act of flying itself takes a hidden toll through vibration and posture, why sympathetic nervous system domination cements poor posture and movement patterns, how Sam sneaks down-regulation into hard training sessions disguised as recovery work, and why resting heart rate might be a better performance metric than any wearable, and much more.

"I always remember feeling like I was part of the clean plate club," says Dr. Christle Guevarra, recalling a childhood spent quietly convinced that her weight was a matter of willpower. That belief followed her through a competitive powerlifting career and medical practice until she finally tried a GLP-1 medication herself and, as she describes it, the constant mental noise around food quieted down. Now a board-certified family and sports medicine physician, traveling team doctor for U.S. Figure Skating, and author of The Beginner's Guide to GLP-1s, Dr. Guevarra brings a rare combination of clinical authority and lived experience to the conversation around obesity medicine.  In this episode of Raise the Line from Elsevier, host Lindsey Smith talks with her about what's actually changed in how physicians understand the issue and what it means for patients. "The biggest thing is reframing how we approach weight loss. It's not just a willpower problem, it is a neurobiological problem." Tune in to learn about: Why she said no to a GLP-1 prescription for two years and what finally changed her mind; The real story behind concerns about muscle loss on these medications; What happens when the “food noise" goes silent and a new set of challenges takes its place.   Mentioned in this episode:  Dr. Christle's website If you like this podcast, please share it on your social channels.

Do you have an Apple watch? Fitbit? Oura ring? Woop? Wearables have taken over in the past decade with claims that by constantly monitoring our heart rate, sleep, respiration, and activity, they can provide health data that can change your life. But is that really possible? Or even plausible? Marco Benitez, former professional athlete, and the Founder and CEO of ROOK joins us on the Living Well series today to talk all things wearables. He sees tremendous potential with how the data these tools compile can be utilized across all aspects of our lives, including in our cars (!), to change our behavior. But he acknowledges there's a catch. Many of these companies use the data collected not for YOUR benefit, but for theirs, and real change, well, there's no magic bullet. It's hard, takes time, and is all on you. Raised in Mexico with an insatiable curiosity and entrepreneurial spirit, Marco Benitez built his career at the intersection of health, technology, and sports science. Starting as a Tae Kwon Do champion, Marco's discipline and resilience guided him into biomedical engineering, then into high-stakes roles in pharmaceutical giants like Roche and Novartis. Here, he witnessed the transformative power of data in healthcare—and saw a profound opportunity to make health metrics more accessible and actionable. Determined to improve health management and bridge the gap between raw data and real impact, Marco co-founded ROOK.

What changes for you as a developer when the device moves from your pocket to your face? The battery shrinks by an order of magnitude, the thermal budget is whatever won't make your nose uncomfortable, and your mental model of "one process, one device" goes out the window. Rey and Dmitrii talk us through their custom power monitors, how they've extended Perfetto to give a coherent trace across a multi-device system, why robotic arms make surprisingly good QA engineers, and what it takes to catch the kind of regression that quietly costs you thirty minutes of call time.

Millions of Americans were saddened and outraged by the Sandy Hook Elementary shooting in 2012 that took the lives of twenty children and six adults, and were left feeling helpless about the epidemic of gun violence in the U.S. that, sadly, continues to this day. But for our guest today, Shannon Watts, her feelings of devastation about the shooting turned to rage and fueled her unlikely rise to leading Moms Demand Action, which she grew into one of the largest grassroots organizations in the country, mobilizing millions of volunteers to push for stronger gun safety laws. “I wanted to stand shoulder to shoulder with a badass army of women because that's who gets things done in this country,” she says.    In this inspiring conversation with Raise the Line host Michael Carrese, Watts pulls back the curtain on how the group achieved its successes and the philosophy of "losing forward" that kept volunteers showing up year after year. In her recent book Fired Up, Watts describes how she is bringing insights from that experience to a new mission: helping women identify their values, abilities, and desires and acting on them without waiting until everything is perfect. Tune-in to learn about:  The "false fires" women mistake for passion; Why losing estrogen and testosterone in midlife might actually make women braver, not less so; The one exercise she does with every woman she coaches.  Mentioned in this episode: Fired Up book Moms Demand Action If you like this podcast, please share it on your social channels.

Eric Malzone sits down with Eric Bormel, Managing Director at Solomon Partners, for a deep dive into mergers and acquisitions in the fitness and wellness industry — breaking down exactly what it takes for a fitness brand, gym, or health tech company to get acquired, what drives valuation beyond revenue, and how founders can pick the right buyer instead of just the highest bidder. Using the recent Rouvy-to-Zwift acquisition as a real-world case study, Bormel pulls back the curtain on the M&A process from first meeting to closing the deal, explains why connected fitness companies like Peloton are finally stabilizing after the post-pandemic crash, and shares why consumer subscription brands like Strava and Zwift — along with wearables like Whoop and Oura — are currently the hottest categories for investors in the fitness tech space. The conversation also tackles AI's growing role in personalized health, wearables, and gym operations, plus the widening gap between CEO confidence and consumer sentiment in today's economy. Whether you're a gym owner, fitness entrepreneur, or just curious about fitness industry trends and investment activity, this episode is a crash course in fitness M&A, business valuation, and where smart money is heading next in health and wellness.
