This week, we're bringing you an episode of WSJ's Take On the Week. Host Telis Demos and guest host Spencer Jakab, investing columnist and writer of the Markets A.M. newsletter, are joined by Kaitlin Hendrix, asset allocation research director at Dimensional Fund Advisors, to decode investors' surging interest in private markets. They break down how investors may already have exposure in their investment portfolios to private companies like Anthropic, Stripe and Flipkart, through holdings in companies like Alphabet's Google, Amazon and Nvidia. Hendrix explains why your public index fund might already provide the diversification you're looking for, without the high fees. Plus, Jakab explains the way that big tech's private company investments are boosting earnings to near-unprecedented levels.  To watch the video version of this episode, visit our WSJ Podcasts YouTube channel or the video page of WSJ.com Sign up for the WSJ's free What's News newsletter.

Energie bleibt Energie, und der Gesprächsverlauf betont die Wechselwirkungen sowie die Notwendigkeit von Koordination unter Regierungen und privaten Akteuren. Es wird deutlich, dass private Akteure oder einzelne Staaten zu viel Macht übernehmen könnten, weshalb eine globale Abstimmung erforderlich erscheint. Für Gründer heißt das: Klima-Geschäftsideen müssen systemisch gedacht und Risiken, Nebenwirkungen sowie politische Rahmenbedingungen berücksichtigt werden.Health-Score als Workplace-AnsatzDie Idee Back Angel orientiert sich an einem Rücken-Health-Score wie Whoop, mit fünf Übungen pro Woche und einem Recovery Score. Dazu kommen konkrete Verbesserungsempfehlungen und der Vergleich mit anderen High Achievers als Motivations- und Messgröße. Die Zielgruppe soll direkt Verbraucher sein (Direct-to-Consumer), während Kaya Health eher Firmenkunden bedient; das eröffnet verschiedene Vertriebswege. Unternehmerischer Nutzen: Ein messbares Health-Produkt kann Markenbildung und Kundenbindung stärken, er braucht klare Positionierung und messbare Outcomes.Y Combinator RFU als GründungsleitfadenIm Gespräch wird deutlich, dass Y Combinator erneut einen Request for Startups veröffentlicht und damit Orientierung bietet. Als Beispiele nennen die Hosts AI for the aging population und New Operating System for the physical world, die als thematische Leitlinien dienen. Die Diskussion sieht RFU als nützliches Instrument, um Ideen zu bewerten und sich stärker auf passende Themen zu fokussieren. Im Unternehmenskontext bedeutet das: Gründer können RFU-Themen nutzen, um Markteintrittsrisiken zu reduzieren und relevante Pitch-Felder zu identifizieren.Ethik und Regulierung bei Plattform-basierter WetteEs werden Multiple Polymarket-Scams und Insider-Trading diskutiert, unter anderem Wetten auf Trump-Zeilen und Maduro-Festnahmen. Die Gespräche werfen Fragen auf, ob solche Aktivitäten legal sind und zeigen eindrücklich, wie leicht Transparenz und Regulierung unterlaufen werden könnten. Das verdeutlicht, dass Produkt- und Plattformdesign Governance-, Compliance- und Ethik-Anforderungen berücksichtigen müssen. Für Unternehmen heißt das: Risikogovernance und klare Regeln sind essenziell, um Missbrauch zu verhindern und Vertrauen zu schaffen.KeywordsAlbedo-EffektOcean Thermal Energy ConversionFeststoffbatterienE-MobilitätPolymarketAlbedo-Effekt Auswirkungen globale TemperaturenOcean Thermal Energy Conversion ErklärungFeststoffbatterien Vorteile ReichweiteE-Mobilität Secondhand-Batterien WertverlustPolymarket Wettmärkte Risiken Insider-TradingRückenschmerzen Startup Back AngelKartenkurier Sammelkarten Grading ConciergeLongevity Arbeitsplatz Wearable

Andrea Samadi shares a five-year self-experiment using a WHOOP wearable to track sleep, recovery, movement, and biological age. She reveals how daily low-intensity movement and consistent recovery—not one intense workout—produced lasting improvements in heart rate, recovery scores, and biological age. Andrea distills five lessons: movement prepares the brain, consistency beats intensity, recovery is where adaptation happens, small habits compound over time, and every step is an investment in your future brain. Practical takeaways include walking daily, adding 2–3 strength sessions per week, protecting sleep, and tracking trends instead of perfection. In this Bonus Episode you'll learn: Why recovery matters more than you think. What 1,905 recoveries taught me about human performance. Why consistency beats intensity. How movement changes the brain. How to create lasting biological adaptation. Why every walk is an investment in your future brain. EPISODE BONUS Move Today. Recover Tonight. Younger Tomorrow. Five Years. 1,905 Recoveries. One Lesson That Changed Everything. Welcome Back Welcome back to the Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast. I'm Andrea Samadi. Over the past seven years, I've had the privilege of interviewing many of the world's leading experts in neuroscience, psychology, learning, leadership, health, and human performance. Throughout Season 16, we've been connecting those conversations into a simple framework I call The Brain's Operating System for Human Performance—a practical way of understanding how the brain and body work together to help us learn better, think more clearly, live healthier, and perform at our highest potential. In Episode 402[i], we introduced The Movement Loop, built around one simple idea: Movement is the input. Adaptation is the process. Performance is the outcome. Then, in Episode 403[ii], Dr. Chuck Hillman helped us understand why movement changes the brain. Every step increases blood flow. Exercise stimulates Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor—BDNF—often called fertilizer for the brain. Movement strengthens the neural networks responsible for learning, memory, attention, and executive function. But after recording those episodes, I found myself asking a different question. What happens when we apply those principles consistently—not for days, weeks, or even months—but for years? Today's bonus episode is my attempt to answer that question. Not from another research study. Not from another interview. And definitely not to give you one more thing to add to your already busy schedule. Instead... I'd like to share a five-year experiment I never realized I was conducting—one that completely changed the way I think about health, movement, recovery, and human performance. Five Years Looking for the Answer When I started wearing a WHOOP device back in April of 2021, just before my fiftieth birthday, I thought I was buying a fitness tracker. I thought it would help me train harder. I thought it would reward intensity. Instead... It spent the next five years teaching me something far more valuable. How to recover. Over those five years I've tracked nearly everything I could measure. Sleep. Movement. Recovery. Resting heart rate. Heart rate variability. VO₂ Max. Biological age. Blood work. Thousands of workouts. And more than 1,905 recoveries. Nearly two thousand mornings of waking up and asking my body the same question. How well did I recover? At first, I didn't really know what I was looking for. I simply assumed the harder I trained... the healthier I'd become. The Mystery Then WHOOP introduced a new metric. WHOOP Age. The first time I looked at it, I honestly couldn't believe what I was seeing. My biological age measured 48.7 years old. I was fifty-five. More than six years younger biologically than chronologically. Of course, my first question wasn't, "That's great." My first question was... Why? What was I doing that created this result? Naturally, I assumed it was my hardest hikes. My toughest strength workouts. The mornings I pushed myself until I was completely exhausted. But that's not what the data showed. Not even close. The biggest contributor wasn't intensity. It was consistency. Daily walks. Steady hikes. Hours spent moving in Heart Rate Zones 1 through 3. The very workouts I used to think "didn't count." Ironically, even today, after finishing a workout, I still catch myself hoping to see more time in Zone 4 or Zone 5. Old beliefs don't disappear overnight. Part of me still believes harder must be better. But five years of data kept telling me a different story. A Belief I Had to Unlearn For most of my life, I believed exercise was supposed to leave me exhausted. If I wasn't completely out of breath... If I wasn't drenched in sweat... If I wasn't barely able to walk back to my car... I assumed I hadn't worked hard enough. Maybe you've felt that way too. We grew up hearing... "No pain, no gain." But neuroscience—and my own data—kept challenging that belief. The movement that felt the easiest... was quietly producing the greatest return. Daily walks. Easy hikes with friends. Walking my dogs along the canal. Consistent aerobic movement. Those weren't "easy days." Those were adaptation days. And slowly, my definition of success began to change. The Moment Everything Changed A few days ago something happened. After nearly five years... and more than 1,905 recoveries... I recorded my highest recovery ever. 98%. For a few moments I celebrated the score. Then something much more meaningful hit me. That number wasn't created overnight. It wasn't the result of one perfect night's sleep. Or one incredible workout. Or one supplement. Or one recovery tool. It represented five years of learning to work with my biology instead of against it. That's when everything finally clicked. Recovery isn't passive. Recovery is where adaptation happens. It's where muscles rebuild. It's where the brain consolidates learning. It's where the nervous system recalibrates. It's where hormones rebalance. It's where your cardiovascular system grows stronger. It's where yesterday's movement becomes tomorrow's performance. Movement starts the conversation. Recovery is where your body answers.   The Missing Piece That's when I realized something I wish someone had explained to me years ago. Movement isn't the goal. Recovery isn't even the goal. Adaptation is the goal. Movement is simply the signal that tells your biology... "Build something stronger." Recovery is when your body actually does the work. Adaptation is the result. Performance becomes the evidence. That is The Movement Loop. Move. Recover. Adapt. Perform. One connected system.   What My Data Shows When I stopped looking at individual workouts and started looking at years of trends, the story became remarkably clear. My resting heart rate dropped. My recovery improved. My biological age became younger. My weekly movement consistently averaged more than seven hours in Heart Rate Zones 1 through 3. None of those changes happened because of one extraordinary workout. They happened because of thousands of ordinary choices repeated over and over again. That's how biology changes. Quietly. Consistently. Patiently. Five Lessons Five Years and 1,905 Recoveries Taught Me Looking back over nearly five years—and more than 1,905 recoveries—I realize I wasn't simply collecting health data. I was watching my brain and body adapt in real time. Here are the five lessons I wish I had understood when I first started this journey. Lesson 1: Movement prepares the brain. One of the biggest insights from Dr. Chuck Hillman's research is that movement doesn't just strengthen our muscles—it prepares our brains to learn and perform. Every walk increases blood flow. Every hike stimulates Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor, or BDNF, helping the brain build and strengthen neural connections. I've noticed this in my own life. On the days I move first, I think more clearly, focus longer, solve problems more easily, and simply show up as a better version of myself. Movement isn't something I do after work anymore. It's how I prepare for my work. Lesson 2: Consistency beats intensity. For years, I believed the hardest workout was the best workout. My data taught me something completely different. The biggest improvements in my health didn't come from one exhausting hike or one intense strength session. They came from showing up every single day. Walking the canal. Taking the dogs out. Choosing another easy hike. Stopping to talk with people on the trails. It took me years to ask one person their name, after seeing them on the trails for over 10 years! Repeating those small decisions (and actions) over and over again. The body doesn't transform because we occasionally do something extraordinary. It transforms because we consistently do the ordinary. Lesson 3: Recovery is where adaptation happens. This may have been the biggest surprise of all. For years, I thought recovery meant taking a break from making progress. Now I understand that recovery is the progress. Recovery is where muscles rebuild. It's where the brain consolidates learning. It's where the nervous system recalibrates. It's where your body responds to the signal that movement created. Without recovery, movement is simply stress. With recovery, movement becomes adaptation. Lesson 4: Small daily habits create extraordinary results. When I recorded my highest recovery ever—98%—(just this week) I realized something important. That number wasn't created by one perfect night of sleep. It wasn't one workout. It wasn't one supplement. It wasn't one infrared sauna session. It represented thousands of small decisions repeated consistently over five years. Morning sunlight. Walking. Strength training. Prioritizing sleep. Breathwork. Meditation. Recovery. None of those habits seem remarkable on their own. Together, they completely changed my biology. And then I was able to create PREDICTABLE results with recovery, once I fully understood it. Lesson 5: Every step is an investment in your future brain. This may be the most important lesson of all. Most of us exercise because we want to look better or feel better today. But neuroscience tells us something even more powerful. Every walk you're taking today is helping build the brain you'll rely on years from now. Every time you move, you're strengthening the systems that support attention, memory, emotional regulation, cardiovascular health, and resilience. You may not notice those changes tomorrow. I certainly didn't. It took me nearly five years—and 1,905 recoveries—to truly appreciate what my body had been quietly building all along. That's why I no longer think of movement as exercise. I think of it as one of the greatest investments I can make in my future health, my future brain, and the quality of my life. Because every step you take today is a vote for the person you're becoming tomorrow.   Practical Application If you're wondering where to start... Start walking. Walk before work. Walk after dinner. Walk with your family. Walk with your dog. Strength train two or three times each week. It doesn't take a lot to see noticeable gains. Protect your sleep. Track trends instead of chasing perfection. Then tomorrow morning ask yourself one simple question. Not... "How hard should I train today?" Instead... How can I move today? One question. One decision. Repeated consistently. That's how change begins. Review and Conclusion As we wrap up this bonus episode, let's step back and look at what we've learned throughout this first part of Phase 3. Movement prepares the brain. Recovery builds the body. Adaptation changes our biology. Performance becomes the evidence. Five years ago, I thought movement was the goal. Today I know better. Movement is the signal. Recovery is the builder. Adaptation is the transformation (that we can see) Performance is the evidence (or what we were aiming for in the first place). After nearly 1,905 recoveries, I finally understand why recovery matters. Not because it helps us rest. Because it helps us become. Looking back, I wasn't simply collecting health data. I was watching neuroscience unfold in real time. The greatest improvements in my health didn't come from my hardest workouts. They came from thousands of ordinary decisions repeated consistently over time. We can go back to our early episodes[iii] to hear the importance of repetition. That's how human performance is built. Not through one breakthrough moment. But through daily choices that quietly reshape the brain, strengthen the body, and prepare us for whatever comes next. So wherever you're listening today... Whether you're heading out for a walk... Driving home from work... Finishing a workout... Or simply deciding how you'll move tomorrow... Remember this. Every step is a vote for your future self. Move today. Recover tonight. Adapt tomorrow. Live younger tomorrow. Until next time... Keep moving. Keep learning. Keep adapting. Because every step you take today is helping build a healthier, stronger, and more resilient version of yourself tomorrow.   REFERENCES:   [i]  Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast EPISODE 402 “Phase 3 Intro: How Movement Builds the Brain https://andreasamadi.podbean.com/e/movement-loop-how-everyday-action-rewires-your-brain-and-boosts-performance/   [ii]Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast EPISODE 403 “How movement Activates the Brain and Learning”  https://andreasamadi.podbean.com/e/movement-first-how-a-20%e2%80%91minute-walk-lights-up-the-brain/   [iii]Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast EPISODE 38 https://andreasamadi.podbean.com/e/assistant-coach-to-the-winnipeg-jets-todd-woodcroft-on-the-daily-grind-in-the-nhl/

Why do so many high achievers burn out? Most of us think recovery is what happens after the work is done. We push through the week, take care of everyone else, and tell ourselves we'll slow down later. But according to Dr. Kristen Holmes, Global Head of Human Performance at WHOOP, recovery isn't separate from high performance. It's an essential part of it. In this conversation, I sit down with Kristen to unpack the science behind sustainable high performance and why recovery plays a much bigger role than most of us realize. We talk about why sleep consistency matters more than sleep duration, the habits that have the biggest impact on our energy, and how to stop running on empty. By the end of this conversation, you'll have a new way of thinking about recovery and practical strategies to put into practice right away.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. News editor Ben Sales joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. The Iran-backed Houthis struck two Saudi oil tankers on Thursday that they accused of violating a naval blockade imposed by the group. These attacks signal a potential new front in the US-Iran conflict, as the US military struck Iran for the 12th successive night and Iran lashed out at its neighbors. Arguably related to stymying Iran and its ambitions, the United States and Saudi Arabia on Wednesday forged a new agreement that could potentially provide the kingdom with uranium enrichment capability for its civilian nuclear program. We hear why Israel is worried. Overnight, the US House of Representatives narrowly passed its version of a massive defense policy bill, despite Democrats’ concerns about its huge price tag, the Iran war and a provision that would boost Pentagon ties to Israel. The NDAA includes several provisions that allocate hundreds of millions of dollars to US-Israel joint military projects. Sales explains the political considerations in voting for Israel aid right now. New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani on Tuesday acknowledged that he cannot actually arrest Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, despite his past pledges to do so. Most legal experts had come to that conclusion years ago. Why is this in the news right now? Check out The Times of Israel's ongoing liveblog for more updates.

✅ Hallmarks of Health PodcastFIVE PRIMARY POINTS of the PODCASTHeart Rate Variability (HRV) is a powerful predictor of resilience and longevity.HRV reflects the balance between your sympathetic (”fight or flight”) and parasympathetic (”rest and digest”) nervous systems. Higher HRV is associated with fewer surgical complications, lower inflammation, improved recovery, and reduced risk of death. Consumer devices such as Apple Watch, WHOOP, Fitbit, and Oura can track HRV over time, although values should only be compared within the same device.Four simple habits can improve HRV at little or no cost.The podcast highlights four evidence-based strategies to strengthen your nervous system: practice five deep breaths three to four times daily, engage in meaningful conversation to increase social connection, prioritize high-quality sleep, and exercise consistently. Together these habits increase parasympathetic activity, helping your body better withstand physical and psychological stress.Exercise is nature's peptide therapy.Rather than relying on unproven peptide injections, exercise stimulates muscles to release hundreds of beneficial signaling molecules called myokines. These naturally occurring proteins help regulate inflammation, metabolism, brain function, and muscle growth while promoting long-term health. The podcast argues that regular exercise is a safer, evidence-based alternative to commercially marketed peptide injections.Exercise is powerful medicine, including for cancer prevention and recovery.Emerging research suggests exercise-induced myokines may suppress breast cancer cell growth, while regular exercise is associated with roughly a 20% lower risk of breast cancer recurrence and mortality. The broader message is that exercise should be viewed not only as fitness but also as an effective, low-cost therapy for chronic disease prevention.Breathing is an overlooked foundation of vitality.Consistent deep breathing—particularly cyclic sighing and inspiratory muscle training—can improve lung function, increase HRV, reduce stress, and support healthy oxygen saturation. The podcast recommends treating breathing exercises like brushing your teeth: a simple daily habit that strengthens both physical and mental health while improving resilience over time.Copyright, VyVerse, LLC.

Mike McSherry is the CEO of Xealth, the digital health orchestration company now operating inside Samsung Electronics. Xealth gives clinicians a way to prescribe and recommend far more than medication—including digital health apps, connected devices, remote-monitoring programs, transportation, meal delivery, and other services that increasingly shape a patient's care journey.The Samsung acquisition puts Xealth inside a company with a healthcare footprint far larger than most Americans realize. Samsung operates major hospitals, manufactures biologic medicines and medical equipment, develops healthcare robotics, and already has televisions, appliances, phones, watches, and other connected devices inside millions of American homes. Mike's bet is that this existing footprint can become the infrastructure for aging in place, chronic-care management, fall detection, medication support, and earlier intervention—without making patients feel constantly watched or turning the home into a hospital.That opportunity is becoming more immediate through the CMS ACCESS Model, a ten-year effort to bring technology-enabled, outcomes-based care to Medicare patients with chronic conditions. The model could allow companies offering services such as weight management, diabetes support, mental healthcare, wearable monitoring, and AI coaching to participate more directly in Medicare care delivery. Xealth can serve as the connective layer between health systems, clinicians, patients, and these new programs, while Samsung's devices and consumer reach could support both monitoring and distribution.Mike's larger argument is that healthcare is approaching a data reset. Consumer technology companies and AI platforms are beginning to combine medical records, laboratory results, wearable signals, and patient-reported information into a more complete picture than many hospitals currently possess. Health systems and EHR companies that cannot absorb wearable data may lose relevance—but simply dumping more information on clinicians will make the problem worse. The real breakthrough will come from AI systems that filter continuous data, identify what actually matters, and surface only the moments that require human attention.We discuss:Why Samsung may have a better chance in home-based healthcare than Amazon, Walmart, Best Buy, and other major companies that struggled to turn consumer reach into sustained healthcare adoptionHow Samsung's hospitals, medical equipment, biologics manufacturing, robotics, wearables, smartphones, televisions, and connected appliances could become infrastructure for aging in place and chronic-care managementWhy big technology companies repeatedly bounce off healthcare—and why the industry rewards trust, patience, integration, and long-term investment rather than quick wins and software-like marginsWhat the ten-year CMS ACCESS Model could change for Medicare patients with chronic conditions—and why companies such as Noom, WHOOP, Headspace, Lark, and Welldoc could begin operating more like technology-enabled care providersHow Xealth could connect clinicians and health systems with covered digital-health programs, while Samsung's devices and consumer reach support patient monitoring, engagement, and distributionWhy EHRs that cannot absorb wearable data risk falling behind AI platforms and consumer-health companies that already combine medical records, laboratory results, and continuous biometric informationHow AI could prevent physicians from drowning in streams of heart rate, temperature, oxygen, sleep, stress, and activity data by identifying the signals that actually require human interventionWhere wearables and connected care go next—from patches, earbuds, glasses, and implantables to household devices and robots that help patients remain independent without making their homes feel like hospitals—Brought to you by: Sage Growth Partners — Value-focused strategy and marketing for growth-driven healthcare organizations. — Where to find Jared: • X: https://x.com/jaredstaylor • LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jaredstaylor/

Episode Overview What if you could invest in some of the world's most valuable private technology companies—before they ever go public? In this episode of The Silicon Valley Podcast, host Shawn Flynn sits down with Mark Klein, CEO of Neostellar  Capital, one of the few publicly traded venture capital firms providing investors with exposure to late-stage private companies. Neostellar 's portfolio includes investments in some of the most influential technology companies of the AI era, including OpenAI, Canva, Whoop, Vast Data, and it was also an early investor in CoreWeave. Mark shares how Neostellar 's "Public VC" model opens the door for public market investors to participate in venture-backed innovation—an opportunity that has traditionally been reserved for institutional investors and elite venture capital firms. The discussion dives into one of Neostellar 's most notable investments: its $17.5 million investment in OpenAI during the company's September 2024 funding round. As OpenAI's valuation has risen dramatically, Mark explains what that means for Neostellar  shareholders and how the firm evaluates opportunities in today's rapidly evolving AI investment landscape.. Beyond AI, Mark provides a behind-the-scenes look at the venture capital ecosystem, discussing secondary markets, companies remaining private longer, valuation discipline, and the unique challenges of operating a publicly traded venture capital firm while investing in private businesses. Whether you're a founder, investor, venture capitalist, or simply fascinated by the intersection of AI and capital markets, this episode provides valuable insight into how some of today's most sought-after private companies become investment opportunities. In This Episode Mark Klein's path to leading Neostellar  Capital Understanding the Public Venture Capital model Why private companies are staying private longer Investing in OpenAI before its valuation surge Lessons from being an early CoreWeave investor The future of AI infrastructure investing The growing role of secondary markets in venture investing Balancing public company transparency with private company confidentiality Where Mark sees the next wave of technology investment opportunities About Mark Klein Mark Klein is the Chief Executive Officer of Neostellar  Capital Corp. (NASDAQ: SSSS), a publicly traded venture capital firm focused on investing in high-growth, venture-backed private technology companies. Since its inception, Neostellar  has provided public market investors with access to companies that traditionally remain unavailable until IPO, building a portfolio that includes OpenAI, Canva, Whoop, Vast Data, CoreWeave, and numerous other category-defining businesses. Key Takeaways Public markets can provide exposure to private innovation through specialized investment vehicles. Secondary markets have become an increasingly important source of liquidity and deal flow. Companies staying private longer have fundamentally changed venture investing.

Most athletes do not have a recovery problem, they have a listening problem... Morgan, Amanda, and Brooke get into how to listen to what your body is telling you without needing a Garmin, Oura, or WHOOP to tell you first. They break down the difference between productive discomfort and pain that is a genuine red flag, why the "more is better" culture teaches athletes to override the exact signals they should be paying attention to, and why not finishing your programming is usually not a discipline issue. Plus the difference between fatigue, overreaching, and injury, why you should stop expecting to feel good all the time, and what actually happens when you keep ignoring the signals.

Season 16, Episode 402 explores the Brain's Operating System for Human Performance, focusing on Phase 3: movement, adaptation, and performance. Andrea Samadi explains how movement triggers neurochemicals and blood flow, recovery enables adaptation, and measurable performance follows. The episode shows how consistent, purposeful movement plus prioritized recovery creates lasting biological change—improved sleep, lower resting heart rate, higher VO2 max, and clearer thinking—and offers simple strategies to build the movement loop into daily life. EP 402 — Introducing Phase 3 Movement, Adaptation & Performance Watch Andrea teach this episode on YouTube https://youtu.be/Btaihnb5HPs   On EP 402, We'll Cover: Why movement is the missing link in human performance—and why the brain evolved to move before it learned. The Brain's Operating System for Human Performance—how the first three phases connect to create lasting change. The Movement Loop—my new framework explaining how movement leads to adaptation and ultimately performance. The science of adaptation—why the workout isn't what changes you, but the body's response during recovery is. My personal performance experiment—how tracking recovery, resting heart rate, heart rate variability, VO₂ Max, sleep, body composition, and biological age revealed measurable evidence of neuroscience in action. How the world's leading experts helped build this framework—and how their research fits together into one repeatable system. A preview of Phase 3—what you'll learn from Dr. Chuck Hillman, Dr. John Ratey, Kristen Holmes, Dr. John Medina, Jason Whitrock, and the bonus episodes throughout this season. Practical strategies you can begin using immediately to help your brain learn more effectively, your body adapt more efficiently, and your performance improve over time. Opening Welcome back to Season 16 of the Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast. I'm Andrea Samadi, and this is where we bridge neuroscience, social and emotional learning, and human performance so we can create measurable improvements in our well-being, achievement, leadership, productivity, and results. Seven years ago, when we launched this podcast, I started with one simple question: If results matter—and they matter now more than ever—how exactly are we using our brain to create those results? This question stemmed from the fact that very few of us were ever taught how the brain actually learns. How motivation begins. How emotions shape decisions. How relationships influence performance. Or how movement changes the brain. That single question has taken us on an incredible journey through neuroscience, psychology, education, leadership, and human performance. But something unexpected happened along the way. I thought I was collecting interviews. Instead... I discovered that I was uncovering a system. Looking back now, over the past 7 years, I realized every expert was describing the same mountain (or obstacle to overcome) but just from a different side (or with a different strategy). One explained motivation. Another explained attention. Another explained learning. Or repetition. Another explained recovery. Another explained movement. None of them contradicted each other. They completed each other. That was the moment I realized... I wasn't collecting interviews. I was assembling a blueprint. A Personal Discovery But there was still one question I couldn't answer. How would these ideas actually work together in everyday life? Could they work for anyone? Not a pro athlete who has all day to train, but a regular person, like me, who was determined to improve their health, well-being and productivity and results. That's when I stopped being just the interviewer... and participated in the experiment. Over the past year, I wasn't trying to become younger. I think our 50s, 60s and beyond, are an incredible time to practice and perfect our health beyond what we might have been able to do without as much effort in our 40s or younger. Looking back, I can honestly say that I wasn't trying to lower my resting heart rate. It just started to show up in my data when I did certain things, in a certain way. I wasn't trying to improve my WHOOP age (with my wearable device) or optimize my daily recovery score. I was simply trying to answer another question. If movement really changes the brain... Could I actually measure this? Can how much I move improve my data, and can I move too much (push too hard) and measure that as well? So I began paying much closer attention to my own data, and looking at what it meant. Not because I wanted better numbers. Well I did want better numbers, but I also wanted evidence. Something that could be replicated for others. There's lots of ways to measure our data with wearable devices. I used the Whoop wearable, something I have been wearing for the past 5 years. I was focused on my daily recovery. My resting heart rate. Heart rate variability. VO₂ Max. Sleep (specifically how much stress I had while sleeping), REM sleep, and restorative sleep. Body composition (how much fat and how much muscle) Then I looked at my hiking performance (did I need to run fast with a weighted vest to get zone 4 and 5), or could I walk along the canal with my dogs, and get my heart rate up that high without having to drive to the mountain. I looked at how high my heart rate went up with strength training. Week after week... Month after month... A pattern began to emerge. The improvements weren't random. They were connected. When I moved consistently...some easier workouts walking with one or two harder push hiking days, with some days at the gym on the stair climber, and others on the elliptical. My recovery improved. My resting heart rate dropped. My biological age became younger. My body became stronger. My mind became clearer. Long hikes felt easier. The numbers weren't the story. Adaptation was. For the first time, I wasn't just reading neuroscience week after week. I was watching it happen inside my own body. And that's when something clicked. Movement starts the change. Recovery allows the change. Adaptation becomes the change. And performance is simply the evidence that the change occurred. That realization became the foundation for everything you're about to hear this season. The Brain's Operating System As I reviewed hundreds of conversations with world-leading researchers over the past seven years, I realized these ideas weren't isolated discoveries. They fit together. Like pieces of one much larger puzzle. Today, I call that framework... The Brain's Operating System for Human Performance. It's built on five interconnected phases. Each one depends on the one before it. Phase 1 — Regulation & Safety[i] Before the brain can learn... it must first feel safe. Phase 2 — Neurochemistry & Motivation Meaning creates motivation. Motivation creates action. Action begins change. Phase 3 — Movement, Adaptation & Performance Movement changes the brain. Adaptation changes the body. Together they create lasting performance. Phase 4 — Perception & Social Intelligence Understanding ourselves. Understanding others. Building trust. Strengthening relationships. Phase 5 — Integration & Meaning Where knowledge becomes wisdom. Experience becomes insight. Performance becomes purpose. Performance doesn't begin at the finish line. It begins with the foundations. And every phase strengthens the next. Why Phase 3 Matters For decades we've treated learning as though it happens inside classrooms... inside books... inside meetings... inside our heads. But evolution tells a very different story. The brain didn't evolve to sit still. It evolved to move. Movement came first. Learning followed. Every step we take increases blood flow. Releases powerful neurochemicals like BDNF. Sharpens attention. Improves executive function. Creates the biological conditions for learning. Movement isn't simply exercise. It's the input that begins one of the most remarkable biological cycles in the human body. The Power of Loops I had to create another loop to show how this works. Nature rarely works in straight lines. Our hearts beat in rhythms. Our lungs breathe in cycles. Sleep follows repeating stages. The seasons repeat. Life itself is built on loops. Human performance is no different. The greatest mistake we've made is thinking performance is a destination. Or an end result that we will celebrate when we get there. Neuroscience shows us it's actually a cycle. One that repeats every single day. I call it... The Movement Loop. One of the biggest shifts I've made while building this framework is changing the way I think about exercise. Most of us think the workout is the goal. Or we think “I've got to go the gym” and I'm not sure about you, but my old way of thinking used to be something along the lines of “to burn fat, or calories, or so I can create a deficit with the workout.” But Neuroscience—and exercise physiology—tell us something very different. The workout is only the beginning. Think of it by looking at the movement loop. Movement is the Input Every system begins with an input. For our bodies, that input is movement. Whether it's a walk around the neighborhood, a strength-training session, a yoga class, or a hike in the mountains, movement sends a message to the brain and body. It says: "Something is being asked of you." The brain responds immediately. Blood flow increases. Attention sharpens. Neurochemicals like BDNF are released. The nervous system begins preparing for change. Movement isn't what changes us. Movement is what tells the body that change is needed. Adaptation is the Process This is where the real transformation happens. Not while we're exercising. But afterward. During recovery. While we sleep. While proteins rebuild muscle. While neural pathways strengthen. While the cardiovascular system becomes more efficient. While the brain reorganizes itself through neuroplasticity. Adaptation is the body's remarkable ability to respond to the demands we've placed upon it. If we repeat the right inputs consistently, the body doesn't simply recover. It becomes more capable. This is why recovery isn't the opposite of growth. Recovery is the process that makes growth possible. Performance is the Output Performance is simply the visible result of this successful adaptation. It's thinking more clearly during an important meeting. Remembering information more easily. Feeling stronger day to day. Recovering faster after stress. Leading with greater confidence. Sleeping more deeply. Seeing your resting heart rate decline. Watching your VO₂ Max improve. Noticing your biological age become younger. Performance isn't one great day. Or one workout. It's the evidence that your brain and body have adapted over time to your repeated efforts. Then the Cycle Begins Again The beautiful part is that the process never ends. Today's performance becomes tomorrow's starting point. As you become more capable, your brain and body are ready for the next challenge. So you move again. You recover again. You adapt again. You perform at an even higher level. This is why I call it The Movement Loop. It's not a one-time event. It's a lifelong cycle of growth. Every walk. Every workout. Every good night's sleep. Every recovery day. Every healthy habit. You're sending your brain and body another message: "I'm becoming a little more capable than yesterday." That's how sustainable human performance is built. Not through one extraordinary effort. But through thousands of ordinary repetitions that, over time, create extraordinary results. Movement The body moves. The brain responds. ↓ Brain Activation Blood flow increases. BDNF and other neurochemicals are released. The brain becomes ready to learn. ↓ Attention Executive function improves. Focus sharpens. Mental readiness increases. ↓ Learning New neural pathways strengthen through repetition and experience. Knowledge becomes skill. ↓ Recovery Sleep, regulation, and restoration allow the brain and body to rebuild. Recovery isn't the opposite of growth. Recovery is what makes growth possible. ↓ Adaptation The nervous system becomes more efficient. The cardiovascular system becomes stronger. Metabolism improves. The brain becomes more resilient. The body becomes more capable. ↓ Performance Performance isn't a single event. It's a capacity. The ability to think clearly. Learn faster. Recover better. Move more efficiently. Lead with greater confidence. ↓ Confidence Success reinforces belief. Belief increases motivation. Confidence encourages us to move again. And the cycle repeats. The Movement Loop doesn't end with performance. Performance creates confidence. Confidence inspires more movement. And every repetition builds a stronger brain and a stronger body. Throughout this phase we'll explore every step of this loop with some of the world's leading experts.   Movement changes the brain. Adaptation changes the body. Performance changes your life.   The Experts EP 403 — Dr. Chuck Hillman & Paul Zientarski Movement is the Trigger We'll discover why exercise is one of the most powerful ways to prepare the brain for learning through BDNF, executive function, cognition, and academic performance. Key takeaway: Every adaptation begins with movement.   EP 404 — Dr. John Ratey The Brain Adapts We'll revisit the groundbreaking work from his book Spark to understand how exercise literally rewires the brain through neuroplasticity and prepares us for learning. Key takeaway: Exercise changes the brain before it changes performance. EP 405 — Kristen Holmes Adaptation Happens During Recovery We'll explore why sleep, recovery, nervous system regulation, and capacity building determine whether the body actually adapts. This is also where I'll share my own WHOOP data—including recovery trends, resting heart rate, and biological age—to show how adaptation becomes measurable. Key takeaway: Recovery builds capacity. Consistency creates adaptation. EP 406 — Dr. John Medina Learning Creates Better Performance Attention, memory, and learning science come together to explain how movement-supported learning becomes real-world performance. Key takeaway: What we learn shapes how we perform. EP 407 — Jason Whitrock Adaptation Changes the Body We'll explore metabolic health, brain energy, body composition, VO₂ Max, and performance capacity while connecting the neuroscience of movement with measurable physiological adaptation. This is where I'll bring together my own data on muscle gain, fat loss, cardiovascular fitness, and healthy aging. Key takeaway: Movement changes the brain. Adaptation changes the body. Together they transform performance. Bonus Episodes Throughout Phase 3 I'll also be sharing several bonus episodes using my own health data as a living case study. We'll explore: Why recovery is built—not found (so we need to build it into our day strategically). The story behind my resting heart rate. How adaptation changed my body. How it works when you Move Today so you can become Younger Tomorrow. Restorative Sleep Sleep Stress These episodes connect neuroscience to real-world data and show what happens when consistent habits become measurable biological change. Because neuroscience isn't just something we study. It's something we can measure. It's something we can experience. And ultimately... it's something we can use to become healthier... stronger... more resilient... and more capable throughout every stage of life. Key Takeaways for Today Movement is the input. (what we do) Every meaningful change begins with movement. It prepares the brain for learning by increasing blood flow, oxygen, and neurochemicals like BDNF that support attention, learning, and neuroplasticity. The actions we choose every day that provide the brain and body with a stimulus for change. Movement Exercise Walking Strength training Recovery habits Nutrition Sleep Adaptation is the process. The workout doesn't change you. Your body's response during recovery does. Every period of quality sleep, recovery, and restoration is an opportunity for your brain and body to become stronger and more efficient.          Adaptation — What Happens         The brain and body respond to those inputs by becoming more efficient and more capable. Neuroplasticity Increased BDNF Stronger neural pathways Improved cardiovascular fitness Muscle repair and growth Better metabolic health Nervous system regulation Performance is the output. High performance isn't something we find—it's something we build. Every repetition of the Movement Loop increases your capacity to learn, lead, recover, and perform.           Output — The Result          The measurable improvements we experience because of adaptation. Better focus Faster learning Higher energy Greater resilience Lower resting heart rate Improved VO₂ Max Better body composition Higher performance Greater healthspan What gets measured becomes visible. Tracking meaningful metrics—such as recovery, resting heart rate, VO₂ Max, sleep, or body composition—helps you see adaptations that would otherwise go unnoticed and reinforces the habits creating them. Your brain and body are one interconnected system. Better thinking, stronger physical health, emotional resilience, and sustained performance all emerge from the same biological process of movement, adaptation, and continuous growth.   Tips to Implement This Week ✓ Move with purpose every day. Aim for 30–60 minutes of purposeful movement—whether it's a brisk walk, strength training, cycling, yoga, or hiking. Remember, consistency matters more than intensity. Every movement is a signal to your brain and body to adapt. A walk after dinner, when kept consistent, can have an incredible impact on your overall health improvement. You don't need to go all out for results to show up. Start paying attention to your body's signals. You don't need a WHOOP or smartwatch to begin. Simply notice how you feel before and after movement. Ask yourself: Do I think more clearly? Is my mood better? Do I have more energy? Am I sleeping better? Your body is always giving you feedback. Learn to listen. ✓ Protect your recovery. Treat tonight's sleep as part of today's workout. Prioritize restorative sleep, manage stress, and allow your brain and body the time they need to repair, rebuild, and become stronger. We are all at different stages here. This one is always a work in progress for me. I ran into someone I used to see every Saturday on the hiking trails this morning, and I asked him where he had been, or if he was hiking at a different time. I used to see him like clockwork and I noticed he wasn't there as usual. He told me that he was protecting his sleep, and worked out indoors more when the weather was getting hot. In order to beat the heat in AZ, early mornings are the best time for this, but this guy knew to protect his recovery. I thought it was brilliant that he was able to practice what he knew to be important. ✓ Measure one meaningful metric. Choose one health measure—such as your resting heart rate, sleep quality, daily steps, recovery score, or VO₂ Max—and observe how it changes over time. You're not looking for perfection; you're looking for patterns that reveal adaptation. I'll share what I noticed over time on our bonus episodes by watching certain metrics. This has been one of my biggest discoveries. For years I assumed harder was always better. But when I compared my data…you can see 2 of my data charts in the show notes. I found something surprising. A long hike and a morning walk created very different responses. My hikes pushed my cardiovascular system into higher heart-rate zones. My walks kept me primarily in Zone 1 while reducing stress and supporting recovery. Both improved my health. They simply trained different systems. Instead of asking… “Was today's workout hard enough?” Ask… “What system am I training today?” ✓ Move before you think. Before beginning a challenging project, studying for an exam, or making an important decision, spend five to ten minutes moving your body. Then notice how your focus, mood, creativity, and mental clarity improve. ✓ Think in loops, not isolated workouts. Instead of asking, "Did I exercise today?" ask yourself: "How did I support tomorrow's brain today?" Every walk. Every workout. Every healthy meal. Every recovery day. Every night of restorative sleep. Each one is another step around the Movement Loop—helping your brain learn, your body adapt, and your performance improve over time. Review & Conclusion Review and Conclude EP 402, Phase 3: Movement, Adaptation & Performance. As we close today, I hope you're (like I did) beginning to see movement differently. Not simply as exercise. Or to burn calories. Not simply as another item on your to-do list. But as the biological signal that tells your brain and body it's time to grow. Throughout Phase 3, we'll discover that movement does far more than strengthen muscles. It sharpens attention. It accelerates learning. It builds resilience. It strengthens the nervous system. It improves recovery. And over time, it transforms both the brain and the body through the remarkable process of adaptation. This season isn't about becoming an elite athlete. It's about becoming someone who understands how lasting performance is built. Together, we'll explore one simple but powerful truth: Movement is the input (what we do) Adaptation is the process (what happens when we do it) Performance is the output (what we get from doing it) Then the cycle begins again. That's the Movement Loop. Every walk. Every workout. Every night of restorative sleep. Every healthy choice. Every recovery day. Each one is another opportunity to build a stronger brain, a healthier body, and a greater capacity to learn, lead, and perform. Because when movement changes the brain... the brain changes the body. And when the brain and body begin working together... performance is no longer something we chase. It's something we build— one movement, one recovery, one adaptation, one day at a time. Next week, we'll begin our journey around the Movement Loop with EP 403, revisiting Dr. Chuck Hillman and Paul Zientarski, where we'll discover why every lasting transformation begins with movement—and why a single step today can change the trajectory of our brain, our health, and our performance tomorrow. Thank you for joining me, and I'll see you next week.

Stefan, Laurens en Thomas gaan verder. De tv ging laat aan vandaag - want zo'n 7 maanden geleden stond al vast dat er vandaag gesprint zou gaan worden. En wie anders dan Merlier besloot iedereen maar eens te laten zien wie momenteel de snelste man van het peloton is. “Met overschot,” aldus Thomas. Daarna barstten de heren los: discussie over versnellingen, de enige echte lead-out uit het peloton die van Alpecin leek te komen, hoe Kooij figuurlijk een afslag mist, en Philipsen en Van der Poel die vandaag gewoon niet helemaal zichzelf waren. Eén ding staat vast: Merlier had wél alles op orde. Ook INEOS komt nog even op de pijnbank te liggen. En als bonus: wist je dat Christoph Roodhooft een Whoop heeft? Je leert elke dag weer iets nieuws.En hoe zit het nou met kikkervisjes en karpervissen? Je hoort het allemaal in de Live Slow Ride Fast podcast.

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.
