In this breather show, I share how I optimize my testosterone naturally and the results from my (excellent) recent male hormone panel—something I run pretty frequently since reproductive fitness is a great proxy for overall health, fitness, vitality, performance, and recovery. As you will hear, there are numerous parts of my daily lifestyle that help optimize testosterone, but I do have one #1 rec...

Today Carlee Hayes joins us to talk about the wonderful cutting-edge technology of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM)—including a look at my private medical information as Carlee evaluates my journey with CGM from a few years ago, as well as the most recent one that occurred a few months ago. Carlee is the senior nutrition manager for Nutrisense, and as you will hear, CGM goes far beyond the occa...

I recently received a very amusing (and unsolicited) newsletter blast with the headline: “Keeping Fit With The Kardashians: Best Celebrity Workouts To Follow in 2023!” I do not like getting spammed, but instead of moving this one to the trash, I thought it would be fun to create a breather show breaking down some of the mainstream diet and fitness that seems sensible and seems like it is supported...

I’m catching up with Mark Sisson today about one very important facet of ancestral living—minimalist footwear.

You’ll also learn all about Mark’s latest passion project an...

Welcome to a comprehensive presentation about the amazing fitness benefits of sprinting and how to conduct workouts correctly! While I have talked about the importance (and benefits) of sprinting for years on the podcast, a listener recently pointed out that I’ve never done a dedicated show on this subject, so in this episode, we’re going deep: You will learn about all the benefits, rationale, and...

Did you know that being active is the #1 obligation for human health? These days, we have a desperate need to counter the many sedentary forces of modern life. With so much convenience and luxury surrounding us, there are less and less opportunities to keep it moving throughout the day, but leading a more active lifestyle can be the biggest turnaround for your health over anything. Energy toxicity...

Jay Feldman is back for his fourth appearance on B.rad ! Jay is one of my favorite guests to have on the podcast and our episodes together are some of my all-time favorites, as I love the way he presents his compelling argument that we should rethink many of the foundational principles of ancestral health, such as intermittent fasting, low-carb, keto, and time-restricted feeding. You will hear som...

What could be more important than your mindset? In a previous breather show we talked about the core principles of the The Biology of Belief and the protection response our cells have (which is driven by fear, anger, and stress) as well as the growth response cells have (for which love is the most prominent driver).  But what do you do when the stakes are higher? It’s easy to say, “relax, just thi...

What would you do if you knew that your cellular function was being directly affected by your thoughts—at all times? Would you change anything? And what would you do if you found out that the outer layer of a cell is an organic homologue of a computer chip—basically the cell’s equivalent of a brain? If you want to learn how to utilize the core concepts of best-selling author and stem cell biologis...

Can you identify limiting beliefs you have about love, financial abundance, or creativity? Maybe you believe that you have bad luck and keep finding loser guys, or that you can’t sing, draw, do math or spreadsheets. One limiting belief I broke through this past year was that I’ve always thought I had no natural talent for art, that I could never do it—and yet here I am, hand shaping clay sculpture...

It’s always a pleasure to connect with Elle Russ—we’ve been podcasting together for years, and we’re hitting it hard in today’s show because we have some important topics to discuss.

Did you know that your thoughts directly influence your cellular function—at all times? This means every thought you have—sad, hopeful, anxious, calm, angry—has the ability to change the physical chemistry of your body immediately, and this also means that you have the power to completely reprogram any flawed, subconscious behavior patterns you have accumulated throughout your lifetime. I urge you...

The inspiration for this show came after I saw a very well-produced documentary series called “ Everest: Beyond The Limits ” that’s available on Amazon Prime. This extremely well-produced account covers numerous Mt. Everest guided expeditions over three seasons, and the cinematography is so beautiful that it makes you feel like you are right there on the mountain with the climbers. One of the most...

This breather show is all about natural testosterone optimization. This is such an important topic of interest for aging men, but also for young men too since the most recent research on this topic has been pretty disturbing—the average testosterone level for men aged 15–39 (the peak hormonal years) has been dropping by 1% per year since the 1980s! This is alarming because testosterone levels indi...
