Sleep. What a beautiful and essential thing, amirite? I'm right. I don't know about yall, but I can handle getting a little hangry. But if my sleep is messed up? All bets are off. The last 6-8 years, largely as a byproduct of being a general health enthusiast and also investing a lot of time and energy into competitive bodybuilding, learning how to optimize my sleep has been a huge priority.   Sle...

We can all think of at least one inflection point in our lives... The moment where  one thing changes, and then seemingly everything changes. For Colleen Wachob, it was an unexpected health care in the form of a pulmonary embolism that turned her world upside down. But like many great leaders, Colleen took this inflection point and turned it into an opportunity for growth and development. Colleen...

Ever wondered why you're in what should be a Calorie deficit but fat loss isn't working?

Yeah, no wonder we're all confused. Until now. Today, I'm here with Sam Miller to clear up the confusion on the...

It's the most wonderful time of the year... or is it? I know there are a lot of differing opinions on setting New Years Goals/Resolutions. Some people love it, some people think it's pointless and that a date shouldn't matter.  I personally am totally cool with meaningful date-or-event-based goal setting (pssst - there's actually some science to it, too). In today's episode, I want to help give yo...

Through her own journey with PCOS, Rachel came to found A...

In 2021, there's a fair chance you've seen (and maybe shared) at least one astrology meme circulating around social.

1 in 6 or 1 in 7 couples is going to face infertility. We talk about fertility as a women's issue as a society, but that's not the case… But, for heterosexual couples, it's just as likely for infertility to be coming from the male OR the female. Sperm quality isn't just an indicator of fertility, it's also a major indicator for male health. In today's show, we're talking with Khaled Kteily of LEGA...
