What if the most important training you'll ever do happens nowhere near a barbell?Annie Thorisdottir and her co-writer Christine Bald join Patrick to discuss their new book, Iceland Annie: The Evolution of a CrossFit Games Legend — five years in the making and built on a prologue Christine wrote before Annie ever agreed to write it.You'll hear why Annie believes character is trained the same way fitness is: in private, repeatedly, often without immediate reward. And you'll hear Christine on the discipline required to prepare for moments you can't anticipate. Together, they make the case that what most people see on the podium is the smallest part of what it took to get there.

Cortisol and progesterone are competing for the same building materials in your body every day, and you can probably tell by how you feel who is winning. I've been sitting with that thought for a while, and this week I finally recorded about it. I see this pattern constantly with the women I work with. She's the one who remembers eye appointments, refills the supplements, keeps the toilet paper stocked, and somehow still shows up looking like she has it handled. She's also the one walking through life with the worst PMS, the lowest progesterone, and a nervous system that hasn't felt calm in years.This week I'm talking about something I don't usually talk about in a biological way, and that's masculine and feminine energy. And no, we are not getting woo-woo about it. Cortisol and progesterone are competing for the same precursor hormone, pregnenolone, and if you're constantly in output mode, that competition has a clear winner every single time.I got real about this one too, including the day my daughter cut her knee open, my whole schedule fell apart, and I somehow ended the day more regulated than I have on days where everything went "right." That's not a fluke. That's the whole point of this episode.Here's what I'm breaking down for you:Why being "good" at handling everything might be the exact thing draining your progesterone month after monthThe real biological difference between masculine and feminine energy, and why your nervous system responds to it hormonally, not just emotionallyA simple mental shift that changed how I handle a derailed day (spoiler: my to-do list didn't get shorter, I just stopped white-knuckling it)Why your worst luteal phase symptoms might actually be your body trying to get your attentionThe cycle syncing tip that tells you exactly when to lean into productivity and when to pull backHow this pattern quietly shapes your marriage and why it might be keeping your husband from stepping up the way you actually want him toCan we be honest for a second? A lot of us wear "I do it all" like a badge of honor. It gets you the compliments, the gold stars, the "I don't know how you do it." Nobody warns you that your body keeps its own private ledger, and every month you spend gripping the plan instead of loosening your hands, you're paying for it in progesterone.Here's what caught me off guard while I was researching this one. The problem was never that I was doing too much. Plenty of women do a lot and feel completely fine. My problem was forgetting how to leave output mode, even for five minutes, even when nothing was on fire. If sitting still makes you itchy, if rest feels like you're sneaking away with something you didn't earn, if you have to fold laundry while watching a show because just folding laundry feels unbearably boring, that's not a scheduling issue. That's your nervous system stuck in a pattern it doesn't know how to leave.And I get it, because I lived there for a long time and honestly still visit sometimes with three kids and a full life. But I've started noticing the difference in my own body on the days I hold my plans loosely versus the days I grip them so tight nothing is allowed to shift. Same amount of stuff gets done either way. Very different hormone bill waiting for me at the end of the month.And if your luteal phase has ever felt like a personal failure, like the irritability and the sudden urge to cancel everything means you're doing life wrong, I really want you to hear this one. Your body isn't glitching on you. It's asking you for something specific, and most of us have gotten so good at ignoring the ask that our symptoms had to get louder just to be heard.Okay, here's your homework before you even hit play. Think of one thing this week you did purely because it felt good, not because it checked a box or moved you closer to a goal. Can't think of one? That's exactly why you need this episode more than you realized.MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:E22: Low Progesterone?

Life is far too complicated to reduce a human being to a thousand decisions.But as a metaphor?I think there is something incredibly valuable here.Because so much of where we find ourselves today is the accumulated result of things that happened repeatedly before today.Not yesterday.Not last weekend.Not the last seven days.Often…years.And that is what I want to talk about all week.Resources: Brain.fm App(First month Free, then 20% off subscription)Discount Code: coachdamiensdLinks:IG:@coachdamien_sd@damienrayevans@livinthedream_podcast YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCS6VuPgtVsdBpDj5oN3YQTgFB:https://www.facebook.com/coachdamienSD/

The crew is back- well, 2/3. Lovely and Alainta have an honest, relatable conversation about the connection among wellness, health, and personal finances. From routine checkups and preventive care to the costs of ignoring symptoms, they explore what can happen financially when we don't take our health seriously. Together, they discuss the hidden costs of poor health, unexpected medical expenses, missed work, and the long-term impact health decisions can have on financial security. It's a candid reminder that investing in your health today can be one of the smartest investments you make for your future—and your wallet. Wait, what's a Financial Griot? The Financial Griot is a play on two words (Finance + Griot) that together signify closing the wealth gap while embracing our differences. Alainta Alcin, Lovely Merdelus, and Lawrence Delva-Gonzalez share their perspectives on current events that impact your personal finances and wealth mindset. In the New York Times, Bankrate, and other publications, the hosts share the stories that others don't. Stories about growth, opportunity, and even Wars. Beyond that, we tie it back to how it reflects on your finances. Specifically, we teach you how to become financially literate, incorporate actionable steps, and ultimately build generational wealth. Can you imagine being a Millionaire in 20 years or less? Yeah, it's possible. Eighty percent of millionaires are first-generation, meaning they didn't inherit wealth. We teach you how. Join a community of subscribers who welcome a fresh take on money. So there you have it, The Financial Griot, or TFG for short. The hosts amassed over $3 million in wealth in about eight years and are on track to retire early. We will gladly share the secrets if you want them, since the opportunities are abundant and it's a Win-Win.

Finnegan to unpack the deep and provocative research behind The Sleeper Agent: The Rise of Lyme Disease, Chronic Illness, and the Great Imitator Antigens of Biological Warfare.What starts as a conversation about Lyme disease quickly opens into a much larger discussion about biowarfare, immune suppression, historical experiments, and the uneasy overlap between public health, defense, and hidden agendas. Adam shares the personal story that led him to spend years researching the topic, tracing connections through old papers, declassified documents, historical figures, and global programs that he believes shaped modern disease narratives.If you're interested in history, medicine, biology, or the darker corners of scientific research, this one will make you think twice about what you've been told.Topics covered:The origins of Adam Finnegan's book The Sleeper AgentLyme disease, immune tolerance, and chronic illnessHistorical biowarfare and disease experimentationEric Traub, Plum Island, and Operation PaperclipPublic health, vaccine debates, and government secrecyHow old ideas about biological warfare still echo todayGuest: A.W.

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 Tony Small, co-founder of Replify, Richard Earney, National Wellness Director at Midtown Athletic, and Mason Levey, co-founder of Y7 Studio, for a special round table recorded live at an exclusive VIP dinner in Chicago, brought together in partnership with ABC Fitness. The fitness consumer is changing. From AI and GLP-1s to wellness, longevity, social media and shifting demographics, the expectations people have of fitness businesses are evolving quickly. The panel explores how younger generations are engaging with fitness differently and whether gyms, studios and health clubs are becoming important spaces for real-world connection. With ABC Fitness data showing Gen Z and Millennials joining and using fitness facilities at higher rates, what does the next generation of members actually want from the industry? They also discuss the growing convergence of fitness, health and wellness, including the impact of GLP-1s and whether fitness businesses should broaden the services they offer or remain focused on their core areas of expertise. The conversation then turns to AI and how technology could help operators deliver more personalised experiences. Rather than using technology primarily to acquire new members, could AI help businesses understand individuals better, communicate with them at the right time and ultimately help create stronger fitness habits? Ultimately, as consumers become more informed, more connected and more demanding, the question is whether the fitness industry can evolve quickly enough to keep pace. In this episode, we cover: How the fitness consumer is changing Why younger generations are engaging with fitness differently Whether fitness is becoming a new kind of social space GLP-1s and the convergence of fitness, health and wellness Whether fitness businesses should expand beyond their core offering Why how exercise makes people feel could become more important How AI could transform the member experience The move from mass communication towards personalisation How technology could help operators build stronger fitness habits Why human connection remains critical as technology evolves Find out more about ABC Fitness - https://abcfitness.com  Support fitness industry news by sponsoring future LIFTS episodes.

During James Arthur Ray's 2009 Spiritual Warrior retreat in Sedona, the self-proclaimed spiritual teacher exhorted participants to “play full-on” in order to overcome their limiting beliefs and fear of death. After having their heads shaved and enduring a gruelling 36-hour “vision quest,” Ray packed the spiritual warriors into a makeshift “sweat lodge,” where temperatures reached 120 degrees.  Three people died. Eighteen were hospitalized. Ray fled the scene, taking cover at a nearby luxury resort to promote his next event. After spending just two years in jail, he went right back to presenting himself as a spiritual guide and transformational seminar leader.  Journalist and professor emeritus at Northern Arizona University, Annette McGivney joins Julian to discuss her new book, Plastic Shaman: The True Story of a Deadly Self-Help Retreat and America's Misguided Quest for Wellness.

What if the biggest thing standing between you and the life you want isn't your circumstances, your past, or your limitations, but the identity you've been programmed to believe is you? In this powerful conversation, Darin sits down with health entrepreneur, coach, and author Jim Curtis to explore what it really takes to release the past, reclaim personal responsibility, and consciously become a new version of yourself. After developing a spinal cord lesion at just 19 that eventually left him unable to walk, Jim spent years searching everywhere from major medical institutions to shamans, healers, hypnosis, and spiritual teachers for someone who could fix him. Eventually, his search brought him back to himself. Jim shares the framework behind his new book, The Book of Possibility: Release, Align, Become. Together, he and Darin unpack how childhood programming becomes adult identity, why awareness is the first step toward freedom, how resentment keeps us attached to old versions of ourselves, and why changing your life often requires having the courage to become someone your current identity doesn't yet recognize. They also explore the dangers of outsourcing your spiritual growth, psychedelics as tools rather than destinations, radical responsibility, forgiveness, purpose, human connection, and why the coming age of AI and automation may make genuine face-to-face connection more important than ever.

You don't have to spend your entire life searching for the next guru, healer, relationship, achievement, or external thing that will finally make you whole. Become aware of the programming you absorbed, release the identity that no longer serves you, align with what you actually want, and start becoming the person capable of living it. The moment you stop waiting to be saved and recognize that you are the source, possibility stops being something somewhere in the future. It becomes who you are."

Seis años después de nuestra primera conversación, volvemos a sentarnos con Víctor González, fundador de Eco's Sports Park, para ver qué pasó con aquella visión que muchos pensaban que no iba a funcionar.Víctor cuenta cómo nació la idea de mezclar deporte, entretenimiento, comida y nightlife en un mismo lugar, por qué al principio hasta personas cercanas y bancos dudaban del concepto y cómo Eco's terminó evolucionando junto con la cultura deportiva de Puerto Rico.Entramos de lleno en la evolución del deporte en Puerto Rico, el crecimiento del pádel, las primeras canchas que trajo para Eco's cuando prácticamente nadie conocía el deporte y cómo estuvieron casi dos años sin despegar antes de que llegara la fiebre que vemos hoy.Además, Víctor revela los planes para la Fase 2 de Eco's: expansión del terreno, nuevas canchas, espacios para conciertos y eventos, nuevos conceptos de comida y bebidas, wellness, retail y una apuesta fuerte al turismo deportivo internacional.Una conversación sobre visión, riesgo, fracaso, innovación, deporte y lo que realmente toma construir algo diferente en Puerto Rico.

Food as Medicine: Why Medical Nutrition Therapy and Medically Tailored Meals Belong in Modern Healthcare: Registered dietitian nutritionist Leyla Muedin argues that food should be treated with the same rigor as medication through medical nutrition therapy (MNT) and “diet prescriptions,” integrating nutrition into treatment plans rather than leaving it as optional advice. She cites evidence that medically tailored meals (MTMs) can improve outcomes and reduce costs, including a Health Affairs simulation estimating $23.7B in first-year net savings nationwide and a Nature Medicine analysis of a Massachusetts Medicaid demonstration (2020–2023) showing MTM recipients had 31% fewer hospitalizations, 20% fewer emergency visits, and $3,433 lower total healthcare costs, offsetting 98% of program costs. She discusses food insecurity, expanding Medicaid coverage via Section 1115 waivers, EHR integration, and how MTMs support adherence for conditions such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, chronic kidney disease, depression, and IBS (including low FODMAP).

Send us Fan MailKeto. Carnivore. Vegan. Mediterranean. Low-carb. Low-fat. With so many competing opinions about nutrition, eating for health and longevity has become unnecessarily complicated.In this episode of the Fit Rx Health & Wellness Podcast, Dr. Greg Dennis continues the 7 Pillars of Optimal Health series with Pillar #2: Nutrition.After years of studying nutrition, longevity, and metabolic health—and seeing what works in clinical practice—Dr. Dennis shares how his own thinking about nutrition has evolved. Rather than following a diet with a particular name, he believes the foundation of good nutrition can be surprisingly simple: prioritize protein, eat mostly real whole foods, maintain a healthy body composition, and individualize carbohydrate and fat intake based on your metabolic health, activity level, and goals.In this episode, you'll learn:Why calories still matterWhy protein becomes increasingly important as we ageThe connection between muscle, metabolic health, and longevityWhether red meat belongs in a healthy dietWhy healthy fats are beneficial—but aren't unlimitedWhy carbohydrates aren't necessarily the enemyThe difference between whole-food carbohydrates and highly processed foodsWhen low-carb and ketogenic diets may be useful therapeutic toolsThe pros and limitations of vegan, vegetarian, and carnivore dietsWhy ultra-processed foods may be a much bigger problem than any single macronutrientWhat Dr. Dennis actually eats and how his own approach to nutrition has changed over the yearsThe takeaway is simple: your diet doesn't need a name.For most people, building meals around quality protein and minimally processed whole foods—while limiting the highly processed foods that dominate the modern diet—is a sustainable foundation for metabolic health, maintaining muscle, healthy aging, and longevity.This is the second episode in the 7 Pillars of Optimal Health series.

Jonny Miller on Nervous System Mastery, Grief, and Why High Performers Can't Afford to Stay Stuck in Their Heads Your nervous system is running every decision, relationship, and reaction in your life, and you won't notice how much it's costing you until something breaks. This episode gives you the exact framework for building real nervous system mastery instead of running on autopilot until it fails. Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey sits down with Jonny Miller, host of the Inner Frontier Podcast and founder of Nervous System Mastery, who has taught more than 1,000 people how to build the skills of interoception, self-regulation, and emotional fluidity. A former Silicon Valley founder turned nervous system expert, Jonny brings a rare mix of rational, data-driven thinking and deep somatic work to a field most high performers avoid entirely. They break down why interoception, self-regulation, and emotional fluidity are the three learnable skills behind every major shift in performance, relationships, and decision-making, and why most high achievers have spent their whole lives disconnected from what's happening below the neck. Jonny introduces the half-life of reactivity, his framework for measuring how quickly someone can move from triggered back to calm, and explains how free diving became his gateway into surrender, breath work, and pressure equalization as a form of high-stakes meditation. Dave shares his own parallel journey through nervous system work, including lessons from running 40 Years of Zen and a costly business betrayal that reshaped how he reads people. Dave and Jonny also open up about grief, including Jonny's experience losing his fiancée and later his mother, and how community and co-regulation shape how fast someone actually heals. You'll Learn: Why interoception, self-regulation, and emotional fluidity are the three core skills behind nervous system mastery What the half-life of reactivity is and how to use it to measure real emotional progress How free diving works as a form of high-stakes meditation and a direct feedback loop for unclenching Why congruence between your inner and outer state matters more than staying composed under pressure How team intuition can be used as a practical filter in high-stakes hiring decisions Why co-regulation with friends and community can dramatically shorten the grieving process What Jonny's Breath Buddy device is designed to teach kids and families about nervous system regulation Thank you to our sponsors! - MOD | Visit mod.com for a consultation and get 10% off your first order plus free shipping with promo code DAVE. - ZenBud | Dave's Nervous System Biohack.

Nancy Rynes, author of Awakenings from the Light, Walking in the Light, and Messages from Heaven, joins Dr. Tara Perry to share what happened when a distracted driver ran her over on a Colorado bike path, dragged her 50 feet, and left her with over 100 bone fractures — and what she experienced on the other side. A former scientist and committed atheist, Nancy returned from her near-death experience with a radically transformed understanding of consciousness, the soul, and what she now calls "home."In this episode, Nancy walks through her life review, her spirit guide's beyond-telepathic communication, why she refuses to call it the "afterlife," and the daily practices that keep her connected to source energy a decade after her recovery.KEY TAKEAWAYS00:10 Consciousness can split during trauma — Nancy experienced the accident from two simultaneous vantage points.16:33 A mysterious trauma nurse held Nancy down at the scene, almost certainly preventing her death from a broken neck.27:00 During her NDE, Nancy began remembering that Earth is the simulation, not home.31:42 The life review was the most transformative part — she experienced every event from the perspective of everyone involved.34:06 Thoughts carry energy that extends beyond the skull and affect the people and situations around you.37:11 Communication in the NDE was beyond telepathic — feelings, history, and meaning transmitted in an instant.41:10 We plan our lives at a high level before arriving, including a pre-agreed willingness to experience difficulty.45:11 Nancy's father appeared at the foot of her bed at the exact moment of his death, 250 miles away.54:55 Nancy's bones healed in four weeks despite over 100 fractures — her doctors were stunned.58:07 The heart is the direct channel to source, and 15 minutes of genuine gratitude or love can shift your entire state.If you're ready to take your healing to the next level, schedule your free consultation with Dr. Tara at: https://ConsultTara.com/book

Jim Kwik on Memory, AI, and Why Natural Intelligence Beats Artificial Intelligence Your brain is quietly outsourcing itself to AI, and you won't notice until it's gone. This episode gives you the exact framework to use artificial intelligence as a tool for brain optimization instead of a crutch that erodes your memory, focus, and critical thinking. Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey sits down with Jim Kwik, one of the world's leading experts in memory improvement, brain optimization, and accelerated learning. For more than 30 years, Jim has served as the brain coach to professional athletes, political leaders, business magnates, and Hollywood icons, with corporate clients including Google, Nike, SpaceX, and Harvard. He hosts the Kwik Brain podcast with over 100 million downloads, reaches 200,000 people annually through live keynotes, and just wrapped his 14th annual Beyond Biohacking Conference with 5,000 attendees in Austin. Jim overcame a childhood brain injury that left him labeled "learning disabled," and turned that struggle into a mission he calls "no brain left behind." They break down the MIT study showing that people who use AI to write and think score worse on memory and comprehension than those who rely on their own brains, and why that matters for anyone serious about longevity, human performance, and anti-aging. Jim introduces the concept of digital dementia and cognitive sovereignty, explaining how nootropics, neuroplasticity, and functional medicine can support your biology while AI still requires you to keep your own hardware sharp. They cover the MEDS Rx framework for brain optimization: meditation, exercise, diet, sleep optimization, and relationships, plus why mitochondria, metabolism, and inflammation from processed food directly impact your cognitive output. Jim also shares how his own kids use AI as a tutor rather than a replacement for thinking, and why sleep inertia and the first few minutes after waking set the tone for your entire day. This is essential listening for anyone serious about biohacking, hacking their own brain, longevity, neuroplasticity, brain optimization, supplements, and building a Smarter Not Harder approach to human performance in the age of AI. You'll Learn: Why the MIT study found AI users had weaker memory and comprehension than people who did the work themselves What digital dementia and digital deduction are, and how they quietly erode your cognitive muscles How to use AI as an augmented intelligence partner instead of a replacement for critical thinking The MEDS Rx framework for brain optimization: meditation, exercise, diet, sleep, and relationships Why the first few minutes after waking determine your focus and mood for the entire day How spaced repetition and AI-assisted learning can lock in new skills and behavior change faster The HUMAN framework for staying irreplaceable in a world run by algorithms Thank you to our sponsors! - 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 - Neuronic | Go to www.neuronic.online Code DAVE for $100 off - Our Place | Upgrade your kitchen with Our Place today.

Let’s talk about testosterone testing and other important blood tests you can track for your overall health, wellness, vitality, and longevity. I recorded this show on the occasion of my first visit to the blood lab after signing up for Vitals Vault’s premium program, and I talk about some of my favorite markers while pedaling home from the lab. I focus a lot on testosterone because I believe it’s a great proxy for overall wellness, vitality, recovery, and resilience to stress. I share my own numbers, which have ranged from 562 to 1,004, and explain why I’m so intent on keeping testosterone levels high as I age. I also get into the roughly 1% annual decline in average male testosterone levels since the 1980s, vitamin D and the widespread fear of the sun, why looking beyond LDL can give you a better picture of your lipid panel, and the lifestyle practices that can help optimize testosterone—from sleep and diet to avoiding chronic cardio, lifting heavy things, sprinting once in a while, and even maintaining a winning relationship. TIMESTAMPS: Testosterone testing is the best proxy for your overall state of wellness, vitality, and recovery or resilience to stress. [00:51] Brad checks his testosterone level frequently because it is his way of monitoring the stress impact from his training. [5:41] Triglycerides to HDL ratio is a premier indicator of your heart disease risk factor. It is much better than looking at total LDL cholesterol. [06:42] In 2017 they lowered the ideal level of testosterone due to the widespread decline of testosterone among males around the world. [09:02] If you are not optimizing your sleep, including down and rest time, you cannot reduce your stress. [12:13] Get the junk out of your diet. If you are in that chronic cardio pattern in your exercise, you may be tanking your testosterone. [12:37] If there is arguing and other dysfunctional patterns in your relationship, it will tank your testosterone as well as shorten your lifespan. [13:34] Vitamin D comes from sun exposure more than from your diet or pills. [14:30] LINKS: Brad Kearns.com BradNutrition.com B.rad Whey Protein Superfuel - The Best Protein on The Planet!

In today's SOLO episode, Elizabeth talks about the difference between chasing goals and actually raising your frequency, and why she believes the universe responds to energy rather than a to-do list. She shares what shifted after a weekend digital detox, why honoring your own wiring matters more than following someone else's routine, and how she moves through her own low and high frequency seasons. She closes out with the real difference between being lucky and being magnetic.If you want to go DEEPER with me, my Substack is where I share even more behind-the-scenes, personal reflections, and wellness experiments, with new posts dropping every Thursday: https://substack.com/@thewellnessprocessFollow us:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thewellnessprocesspodTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thewellnessprocessYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheWellnessProcessSponsors:Use code WELLNESS at monarch.com for 50% off your first year.Try Jolie risk free for 60 days by going to jolieskinco.com/TWPGo to tonal.com and use code WELLNESS for 20% off your purchase.Save 25% on your first month at ritual.com/TWP Use code WELLNESS for 15% off the Premium Starter Kit at branchbasics.comGet 10% off your first order at oseamalibu.com with code TWPGet 40% off select Lola Blankets products with code WELLNESS at lolablankets.comProduced by Dear MediaSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

What happens to our intuition when the world never gives us a moment to be still?This week, Zoey is joined by author and spiritual teacher Tracee Stanley for a conversation about ritual, self-remembrance, and the power of reclaiming our attention. Tracee shares how ritual became part of her everyday life, why she believes “truth does not thrive in distraction,” and how technology and optimization culture can slowly pull us away from our own inner knowing. And yes, Zoey gets personally read by Tracee over her Oura Ring.Tracee also shares the heart behind her newest book, Living Ritual, and how we can create sacred moments within the lives we're already living. They talk about pattern interruption, our connection to the Earth, the wisdom of aging and menopause, and learning to honor the transitions that change us.In this episode:0:00 Welcome back and introducing Tracee Stanley3:01 Finding ritual in the everyday11:31 Creating change through pattern interruption19:27 Reclaiming our presence in a world of constant distraction27:05 Wellness, optimization culture, and trusting your own inner knowing34:06 Ritual as a practice of remembering who we are43:57 Aging, menopause, and reclaiming rites of passageStay in touch with Tracee:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tracee_stanleyWebsite: traceestanley.comLiving Ritual: https://www.traceestanley.com/livingritual☎️ If you loved this episode, take a second to rate, review, and subscribe to get a hotline ring for future episodes.

Fall is coming, and with it, that itch to overhaul your whole routine. Please don't.That urge to overhaul everything hits me too every single fall. New routine, new rules, a five-step morning ritual that looks great written down and lasts about two days before real life shows up and knocks it sideways.I'm skipping all that this year. Instead, I'm sharing the exact non-negotiables that have stuck for me, the ones actually making a difference in my nervous system and my progesterone, without turning my mornings into a performance.This episode is me literally walking outside with my glasses in my hand, recording on a 6:30 am walk, because I wanted to show you a hormone-supportive morning doesn't require a silent home office and an extra hour you don't have.Here's what we're getting into:The one free thing I do every single morning that touches cortisol, blood sugar, and hormones all at onceWhy my breakfast is not always "picture perfect" and what I actually drink most mornings to hit my protein goals fastThe slightly ridiculous lymphatic movement I learned on Instagram that I now do in my backyard, kids watchingWhat I'm doing on purpose to protect my sleep, even on the nights everything falls apartWhy skipping my 6 am workout class is sometimes the smartest thing I do all weekThe mindset shift that finally got me out of the all-or-nothing routine trapIf you've ever built yourself a pretty little morning checklist, color coded and full of hope, and then quietly abandoned it by day three, this one is for you.A morning routine that supports your hormones isn't a matter of doing more. Your body is listening for one very specific message first thing in the morning, and that message is safety. When your nervous system reads a room as safe, that's your body's green light to make progesterone, keep estrogen in check, and hand you the steady mood and energy you've been chasing all year.That safety signal doesn't come from a perfect list. It comes from a handful of consistent things, done imperfectly, again and again.For me that starts with morning sunlight. I bring this up constantly on the podcast because it really is the top non-negotiable, and it costs nothing, which I love pointing out. Early morning light hits your eyes in a way your kitchen lights and your phone screen simply can't fake. It tells your body it's daytime in the language your biology actually understands, and that one signal ripples out into your cortisol, your blood sugar, and your hormones.Then there's breakfast, which you've heard me talk about more times than you can count because it genuinely changes everything. Some mornings that's a real plate of food. Other mornings, especially in a high-stress season when my appetite has vanished, it's a protein hot chocolate made in my countertop frother while I plan a real breakfast for later. I walk through exactly what that looks like in the episode, because so many of us carry this quiet belief that if we can't do it perfectly, we shouldn't bother at all. That belief is exactly what keeps you stuck.I also get into the small movement practice I do most mornings to get my lymph and fascia moving after a night of stillness, and why I'm being so intentional right now about protecting sleep on both ends of the day, even when that means skipping a workout I genuinely wanted to go to.If you're in a season where you feel like you're doing everything right and your body still isn't cooperating, or if you've built routine after routine that never actually sticks, this episode might land differently for you. Less about adding one more thing. More about getting honest about what actually matters and letting the rest go.I also want to name something I see constantly with the women I work with, and honestly with myself too. This paralyzing sense that healing your hormones has to be complicated, specific, and nearly flawless to count for anything. That belief works against you every time. Overwhelm and fear aren't neutral background noise. They're stress signals your body reacts to, and stress sits right in the middle of the road between you and the hormone balance you're working so hard for.So this episode is my invitation to simplify. Not to add another list to your already overflowing plate, but to get really clear on the small handful of things that move the needle for your body, and to let everything else be optional.Next time you catch yourself scrolling for the "perfect" morning routine at 11 pm, remember this episode instead. The version of you six months from now, the one with more energy and steadier moods, is built by the boring, repeatable stuff, not the Pinterest-worthy version you never actually do.MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:PMS to Peace Private PodcastFix Your Breakfast, Fix Your Hormones Equip ProteinNEED HELP FIXING YOUR HORMONES?

Taking care of your body is not just about pushing harder. It is also about understanding how your body heals, recovers, and responds to the tools we use to support it. As red light therapy, infrared treatments, and peptides become more popular, it is important to know what is backed by science and what is simply good marketing. For athletes, active people, and anyone dealing with pain or recovery, the right treatment can make a difference. Light therapy is being explored for everything from muscle recovery and injury healing to skin health and acne. But with so many products available, knowing what you are using, why you are using it, and whether it is actually right for you matters. In this episode of Time Out with the Sports Doctor, Dr. Derrick Burgess sits down with Alon Lustman of Zero Gravity Skin to explore light therapy, recovery, and emerging wellness treatments. They break down red, infrared, and blue light, discuss how these therapies may support the body's natural healing process, and explore the growing interest in peptides. Most importantly, they emphasize the importance of looking beyond the hype, asking questions, and making informed choices about what you put on and in your body. "Do your due diligence. Make sure you're using the right sources and just verify yourself. Just because you're doing something doesn't mean it's the right thing." — Alon Lustman  Topics Covered: 00:00:00 – Introduction 00:00:32 – Welcoming our guest, Alon Lustman 00:02:07 – The science behind light therapy 00:05:50 – Red, infrared, and blue light 00:08:30 – Light and natural healing 00:09:32 – Light therapy for athletes 00:12:02 – Heat, cold, and contrast therapy 00:15:56 – Advertisement: Struggling with your finances as a young physician?

You'll also learn:Why your body actively destroys NAD+ faster as you age, and why that's the real driver of fatigue and brain fogHow the gap between NAD+ production and destruction widens every year, quietly draining your cellular energyThe early signs your NAD+ levels are already too low, from slow-healing skin to workouts that take days to recover fromWhat actually flips your body's NAD+ production back on, and the exact order of diet, fasting, exercise, and supplementation that makes it workTry Danger Creatine: https://dangercoffee.com/products/danger-creatineTry TrueDark glasses: https://truedark.comTry Danger Coffee: https://dangercoffee.com/discount/davetubeTry Suppgrade Labs: https://shopsuppgradelabs.com/Thank you to our sponsors!ECHO Water | Go to http://echowater.com/daveand use code DAVE10 for 10% off your ECHO Flask.Viome | Check it out at viome.com and use code 10DAVE for 10% off.

This Friday, I had to play back an all-time favorite. I was honored and grateful to bring you a conversation that I recorded in person with Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar at the Art of Living Center in Los Angeles. Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar is a leader of an international movement with more than 50 million followers who do breathwork every single morning. He has worked for 40 years as a global ambassador for peace at the highest levels. I did his breathwork exercises every morning without fail for five years while fixing my mind, body and nervous system, and I have a huge amount of respect for his work in the world. It was a joy to chat with him in person and his childlike curiosity, enthusiasm for teaching, and deep understanding of the world are echoed in every word of this episode. Gurudev is a true visionary, so I am grateful that he set aside time to talk with me so I could share his wisdom with you.
