Oh, man. The nutritional supplement industry is a crazy one. Magazines, websites, and IG accounts are always trying to sell you on the newest pill or powder, that's purportedly the missing element in your health journey. The truth is, it's all bullshit. There are compelling products that can help you, and there is a minimal amount of items that can be considered essential. This episode is devoted...

I try to be as open as I can to help people who struggle with similar issues. I haven't dealt with anxiety much in my life, but my amazing wife, Bianca, has a long history with it. She thought it would be useful to spend an episode discussing how anxiety has harmed her and how she has successfully and unsuccessfully dealt with it. Because we are husband and wife, we have meaningless arguments and...

I wanted to cover some of the most common mistakes. These are mistakes that I've personally made over the years and ones that I frequently see others making.

I don't have the answer or secret solution to anything...

So if you listened to the last episode with Ryan Bader, you may have heard me talk about the 12-week program I am doing. It is from the "Maximus Body" by Bobby Maximus (aka Rob MacDonald). The book is fantastic and I recommend it to you all. There is a six month program that is very comprehensive and well programmed. There is also a 12 week program that is gnarly!!!! I chose the latter. Its 6 days...

My friend, my former Jiu Jitsu Professor and one hell of a guy. He's Orlando Sanchez. It's always amazing to watch someone achieve greatness, and as an ADCC champion, Orlando has definitely done that. But this young man came from a very deep hole only to get back to ground zero. He's built himself into a healthy, happy person and I love it. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and Calif...

I like him very much. See Privacy...

Last Episode was all about eating and this one is ALL ABOUT TRAINING PUNK!!!! I fielded your questions and did my best to answer them. I also broke down exactly what you need to know to put together your best training protocol. It's time to confront your resistance and....Well I guess use resistance. See it's a play on words cuz we have existential resistance and I'm saying use resistance training...

This is a special episode focusing on diet. Carnivore, Keto, Paleo, Whole 30, Vegan I go over them all and then some. Want to know what diet is best for you? I try to give you the answer.

It's been a couple episodes since I did a proper Q and A so I thought I'd do that.

One of the Co-Hosts of the Jason Ellis Show on Sirius Xm is Kevin Kraft. Very funny and clever dude who I am happy to call a friend. He wants to get in shape but he really does not know what in the hell to do about it. I felt like he was in a position that a lot of listeners are in, so I brought him on and gave him a comprehensive plan of attack. This plan of attack is designed for ALL OF YOU out...

So I'm living that lockdown life just like the rest of you, and I got this lady who lives with me. She's an actress and she's amazing. Her name is Bianca Kajlich. Oh yeah, she's my wife. She sits down to do this pod with me, kind of as a favor. It turned out to be one of the best pieces of broadcasting I've ever been a part of. My wife and I field questions and dive into our mutual troubles with i...

I get goofy in my backs-house because, like most of you, I'm on viral house arrest. I touch on my struggles with sexual trauma and how it relates to a conversation I recently had with a courageous young Marine.
