I AM PLEASED TO INTRODUCE A REBROADCAST OF MY SHOW! This episode covers a variety of topics, such as gut health and how it relates to autoimmune and other inflammatory conditions, polarized training, the benefits of consuming more food (and how you know when to dial it back), how long the (negative) effects of vegetable oil stay in your system, carbohydrates, and more.   TIMESTAMPS:  There’s a tremendous link between gut health and cognitive conditions like depression. [02:07]  What is the problem with canola oil once in a while? [05:57]  A lot of people find that just eliminating gluten from the diet, causes a quick improvement in digestive symptoms. [08:08]  If you cut process carbs from your diet, you can meet your glucose needs in other ways. [09:17]  Water retention plays a big part as a result of carbohydrate ingestion. [11:46]  Going over the recommended maximum heart rate is not good. Learn about polarized training. [14:56]  You can mess up your gut health by NOT doing polarized training. [20:02]  An interesting point is that as an athlete doing a hard workout, you’re pushing yourself pretty hard, you’re depleting cellular energy.  [20:39]  Autophagy is a good thing: starving your cells of energy in contrast to overfeeding them. [22:03]  Be careful about overdoing it. [24:21]  Brad’s intuitive approach to Keto eating is working well for him. [25:38]  If you have a “cheat day” you’ll have that concept in your brain and that means there’s something wrong with your baseline diet.  [27:25]  Why is it so difficult to keep our commitments aligned with our highest ideals?

WELCOME TO A NEW EPISODE IN THE ONGOING SERIES OF SYMPTOMS AND SIGNS OF OVERREACHING, OVERTRAINING, AND BURNOUT! This content has been inspired by the amazing, comprehensive look at overtraining that I’ve spent a long time working on and is unlike anything you will find anywhere. I intended this to be the go-to guide for everyone—whether you’re working with people as a coach, or if you just want to know your body and how the stress response can fool you into continuing to slam workouts and burn the candles at both ends. In this breather show, I talk about testing HRV (resting heart rate) and factors that can affect your measurements, checking blood pressure frequently, why it’s healthier to have greater variation in beat-to-beat intervals, why a metronomically beating heart is actually indicative of overstress patterns, and other cardiac symptoms you’ll want to know so you can avoid overtraining and burnout.    LINKS: __ __   JOIN BRAD FOR MORE FUN ON: Instagram: @bradkearns1 https://www.instagram.com/bradkearns1/ Facebook: @bradkearnsjumphigh https://www.facebook.com/bradkearnsjumphigh Twitter: @bradleykearns https://twitter.com/bradleykearns YouTube: @brad.kearns https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4XXEoULD0AiiuPHdRw-Efg TikTok: @bradkearns https://www.tiktok.com/@bradkearns   We appreciate all feedback, and questions for Q&A shows, emailed to podcast@bradventures.com.

MY THOUGHTS ON THE $2 MILLION DOLLAR ANTI-AGING MAN? You’ll hear them all in this episode—I’m talking about Bryan Johnson and his highly debated lifestyle. You may have already heard of Bryan, a tech centi-millionaire based in Los Angeles, since he has become a pretty controversial figure and has faced a lot of ridicule for ridiculously regimented and heavily tested life (think biohacking, but on an extreme level).  Based in Los Angeles, Bryan has dedicated his life to reversing the aging process and promoting his movement which he calls, “Don’t Die.” I will admit I used to view Bryan’s whole lifestyle as super weird, especially the $2 million dollars a year part, which seemed not just totally unrelatable, but also potentially uninteresting and inapplicable. However, I decided to learn more about Bryan and listened to interviews he gave with people like Gabby Reece, and I started to see something different—someone who was generous, interesting, and kind-hearted, who was genuinely just trying to do something grand to help humanity. As you will hear, I am not planning on implementing many of his methods, but I wanted to educate myself about him so I could share my thoughts about his lifestyle from an informed perspective.  In this episode, I talk about the many elements of Bryan’s lifestyle and beliefs and share my personal opinions on his choices, such as my thoughts on Bryan’s assertion that AI is going to be the best way to care for our health (and make our lifestyle decisions) in the future, why sleep is his #1 priority, if I will consider emulating his early bed-time, his choice to adhere to a calorie deficient diet, and more.   TIMESTAMPS: Bryan asserts that artificial intelligence is very quickly going to be the best way to care for our health. [04:48] Have we really lost our own free will and do we outsource our decision making? [07:42] We are all addicts to things like processed foods and processed sugar and illegal and legal substances. [11:36] Good sleep is still the number one habit of importance for health. [14:35] Are you open to outsourcing your athletic training and diet decisions to AI? [19:37] Brad discusses Bryan Johnson’s “perfected” diet. [25:43] The caloric restriction studies, as a key to longevity, are entirely based on animals rather than humans. [29:52] The problem of modern society is we, in general, eat too much, store too many calories and burn too few calories. [34:25] Brad describes his dietary practices and training regimen. He disagrees with Johnson. [37:24] Johnson contends that running cold also extends longevity.  Brad disagrees. [42:20] The plant-based diet is okay for the right reasons, however, much of the beliefs about it are faulty. [47:07] Brad questions Johnson’s ideas about regimented exercise. It’s all about enjoying your fitness pursuits.

WELCOME TO ANOTHER EPISODE IN THE CONTINUING SERIES ABOUT SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF OVERTRAINING, OVERREACHING, AND IMPENDING BURNOUT. As you’ll hear in this episode, libido is the single best regulator of training, and I would argue that libido is a proxy for your overall state of heat and vitality, especially as you age, since cortisol doesn’t just antagonize testosterone—it antagonizes estrogen as well.    LINKS: __ __   JOIN BRAD FOR MORE FUN ON: Instagram: @bradkearns1 https://www.instagram.com/bradkearns1/ Facebook: @bradkearnsjumphigh https://www.facebook.com/bradkearnsjumphigh Twitter: @bradleykearns https://twitter.com/bradleykearns YouTube: @brad.kearns https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4XXEoULD0AiiuPHdRw-Efg TikTok: @bradkearns https://www.tiktok.com/@bradkearns   We appreciate all feedback, and questions for Q&A shows, emailed to podcast@bradventures.com.

WE’RE GOING TO GET REALLY SCIENCE-Y IN TODAY’S EPISODE, BUT THANKS TO MY FORMER PODCAST GUEST DUDE SPELLINGS https://bradkearns.com/2021/10/26/dude-spellings-the-power-of-microworkouts-and-how-to-reduce-injury-risk-as-you-age/ AND HIS BRILLIANT INTERPRETATIONS OF THE RESEARCH PUBLISHED BY DR. JACK KRUSE ON COLD THERMOGENESIS, WE WILL BE REVIEWING THESE MIND-BLOWING INSIGHTS IN AN EASY TO UNDERSTAND WAY. If you want to learn essential information about cold therapy, the science behind its benefits, and how it can actually reverse the aging process through therapeutic cold exposure by enhancing mitochondrial function (crucial to longevity, since mitochondrial dysfunction is the root cause of all disease), this is the episode for you.    TIMESTAMPS: You can reverse the aging process through therapeutic cold exposure by enhancing mitochondrial function. [00:40] When water is cooled, its volume expands.  When water heats up, its volume shrinks. [05:58] The faster you walk, the greater is your longevity potential. [08:16] Every year 98% of all the atoms in the human body have been exchanged. (Deepak Chopra) [14:07] The cold water forces your mitochondria to make heat and that heat shrinks the fluid inside your cell.

IN THIS SHOW, WE CONTINUE OUR DISCUSSION ABOUT SYMPTOMS OF OVERTRAINING. The symptoms discussed in today’s show however, are particularly important because they are not symptoms that most people typically associate with overtraining. I’m talking about twitchy muscles, issues with your skin (acne, rashes, rosacea, eczema, psoriasis, and even excessively dry skin), and the sudden appearance of a sore, scratchy throat. As you will learn in this episode, even having the slightest scratchy, sore, or dry throat is a telltale, early warning sign of something more serious—and ignoring it and continuing to train will only cause more problems. Tune into this breather show if you want to learn more about important warning signs of overtraining and the most appropriate ways to respond to these symptoms when you experience them.   LINKS: __ __   JOIN BRAD FOR MORE FUN ON: Instagram: @bradkearns1 https://www.instagram.com/bradkearns1/ Facebook: @bradkearnsjumphigh https://www.facebook.com/bradkearnsjumphigh Twitter: @bradleykearns https://twitter.com/bradleykearns YouTube: @brad.kearns https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4XXEoULD0AiiuPHdRw-Efg TikTok: @bradkearns https://www.tiktok.com/@bradkearns   We appreciate all feedback, and questions for Q&A shows, emailed to podcast@bradventures.com.

GET READY FOR A POWERFUL, INFORMATIVE, AND PASSIONATE SHOW WITH MY GOOD FRIEND, DR. CASEY MEANS! It’s been four years since our first show, and Dr. Casey is back to talk about the culmination of her life’s work—her book which she wrote with her brother, Calley Means https://calleymeans.com/. In this show, Dr. Casey goes after the broken medical industrial complex, a subject that is of deep significance for her since (as she talked about in our first show https://bradkearns.com/2020/09/22/dr-casey-means-attacking-the-root-cause-of-disease-with-self-quantification-and-behavior-change/) she used to be a dutiful doctor with the highest training possible who was just trying to do her best—until she realized how dysfunctional the whole system was. This was what sparked her decision to pursue a career in the alternative health world instead, and as you will hear, this issue has only become more important and personal to her since she experienced such deep frustration and pain while watching her mother die of a preventable disease. Listen to this episode if you want to learn about all the nuances of our profit-driven medical system, the science and details of how mitochondrial function essentially represents the essence of our health, why mitochondrial dysfunction represents the whole cause of all disease, the scary statistic about Americans and metabolic syndrome risk factors that shocked me, and more! Casey Means, MD is a Stanford-trained physician, Chief Medical Officer and Co-founder of metabolic health company Levels, and Associate Editor of the International Journal of Disease Reversal and Prevention. Her mission is to maximize human potential and reverse the epidemic of preventable chronic disease by empowering individuals with tech-enabled tools that can inform smart, personalized, and sustainable dietary and lifestyle choices.   TIMESTAMPS: Brad introduces Dr. Casey Means, a physician who discusses some of the problems in the medical system. [01:00] There is a sense of discomfort with the trajectory that we’re going on as Americans. Much of it has to do with our food culture.  [03:18] Casey uses the example of her 72-year-old mother who died even though she was considered a normal “healthy” person. [08:05] We are pointing the arrow at symptom management for what we think are all these different diseases and not looking inside the cell and treating there. [10:38] Every institution be it medical schools, pharmaceutical companies to hospitals to insurance companies makes more money when you are sick than if you are well. [15:13] “Everything in moderation” is such a common phrase.  Do you want artificial pesticides in your food in moderation? Toxic substances in moderation? [25:00] We have been systemically disempowered as individuals to feel competent in understanding our own health. [31:34] Will it always pay off to eliminate processed foods or can people get away with continuing to eat the regular American diet? [35:12] What happens to the mitochondria when you consume nutrient-deficient ultra-processed food? [42:04] Most packaged frozen processed fast food contains all three kinds of processed foods, grains, sugar, seed oils. [49:06] Try to keep your blood sugar very stable in the morning to set yourself up for a successful day. [50:53] There are five food components Casey recommends that you want to make sure you include. [56:31] If you straighten up your food choices, within a couple of months you should have a decrease in metabolic disease like diabetes or pre-diabetes. [01:04:00] Why isn’t the medical community up-to-date on this whole dietary adjustment premise? [01:10:15] How do genetics come into play?

GREAT QUESTIONS FROM LISTENERS IN THIS Q&A SHOW, INCLUDING THE SUBTLE AND NATURAL TASTE OF B.RAD SUPERFUEL VERSUS MOST ULTRA-SWEET PROTEINS, WALKING BAREFOOT SAFELY, IF I CAN REALLY “SPRINT” FOR 30,40,50 SECONDS? (NO! THAT’S A HIIT SESSION), ARE SLEEP REQUIREMENTS GENETIC? (YES—HEAR MORE IN MY SHOW ABOUT SLEEP https://bradkearns.com/2021/03/16/jeff-kahn-life-changing-insights-about-sleep-circadian-rhythm-and-sleep-debt/ WITH RISESCIENCE FOUNDER JEFF KAHN) AND TIPS FOR CUSTOM DESIGNING A SENSIBLE COLD THERAPY ROUTINE. I also talk about how Australia boasts 10% of our audience (guessing it’s probably because they love outdoor, active lifestyles), recommend blood tests for peak performers to strive for way better than today’s pathetic “normal”, and talk about if competitive mindsets are genetic or trainable (both!) and how to cultivate pure motivation as a triathlete by referencing my book, https://www.amazon.com/How-Improve-Your-Triathlon-Time/dp/1736294407 Finally, I talk about the Blue Zones documentary—the inaccuracy of the cherry-picked and misrepresented “plant-based” attribute (Blue Zones eat well-sourced animal products), the real secret to Blue Zones longevity (such as extensive movement and strong social connections), whether or not I am completely honest about my own health and fitness journey, and if I’m willing to change my mind in regards to health information (if you’ve been listening to me for a while, you can guess this answer easily!).    TIMESTAMPS: Kenny wants to share his enthusiasm for B.rad’s Whey Protein, even though at first, he thought the taste too bland. You want to be careful when reading labels. “natural flavoring” or “natural flavors” is code word for chemicals.  [00:48] Are Peluvas superior to barefoot for making structural changes faster? [05:14] Aberdeen Shire Guitar Teacher asks: How long should you sprint to achieve the health benefits? A true sprint is anything that’s eight seconds or less in duration. [08:56] David Gifford works hard and really needs his sleep. How does that work with a spouse who is the opposite? [18:52] On YouTube, Red Eye asks about cold therapy sessions and the Shiver Protocol. [21:44]  Alan Placencia from Australia wants input on blood tests. Getting a fasting insulin number is very important. The triglycerides to HDL ratio is also important. [25:32] Male hormone panels indicate how you compare for your age group. Unfortunately, there has been a steady decline in the average male testosterone level. {[31:30] James Hall asks to what extent do you reckon that mindset and mentality is genetic versus what is learned and trainable? [34:07] Alistair Henderson talks about Brad’s Triathlon book and about the Blue Zone, the long living peoples around the world that have an active, energetic lifestyle [36:31] Free Speech Joe commented on Apple Podcasts that he appreciates Brad’s style of honesty and flexibility.

WELCOME TO ANOTHER ADDITION IN OUR LONG SERIES OF COMMENTARY ABOUT THE COMPREHENSIVE SIGNS OF OVERREACHING AND OVERTRAINING. This content is inspired by the incredibly thorough look at all aspects of overtraining and remedies that is contained in the Primal Fitness Expert Certification course, and this topic is such an important one to discuss—it is so helpful and supportive to have extensive knowledge about how body works, as well as how it can fool you by over producing stress hormones and making you feel great, not sore, and full of energy so you continue to train harder and harder. As you will hear, you will always crash and burn eventually, so having an understanding the nuances of this and being able to identify the little signs that come up so you can take corrective action and back off (even if you’re feeling hyped up and energized to do more training) is an integral part of fitness and overall wellness. Tune into the episode to learn what excessive thirst often signifies, the symptoms of chronic dehydration and failure to hydrate optimally, the importance of rehydration and why merely chugging a gallon of water after a sweaty workout isn’t enough, how to ensure that your body absorbs all the fluid it needs, how you can determine when your autonomic nervous system is out of balance, and more!   LINKS: __ __   JOIN BRAD FOR MORE FUN ON: Instagram: @bradkearns1 https://www.instagram.com/bradkearns1/ Facebook: @bradkearnsjumphigh https://www.facebook.com/bradkearnsjumphigh Twitter: @bradleykearns https://twitter.com/bradleykearns YouTube: @brad.kearns https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4XXEoULD0AiiuPHdRw-Efg TikTok: @bradkearns https://www.tiktok.com/@bradkearns   We appreciate all feedback, and questions for Q&A shows, emailed to podcast@bradventures.com.

I AM SO PLEASED TO WELCOME DR. JUDSON BRANDEIS, AMERICA’S FAVORITE UROLOGIST, BACK TO THE SHOW FOR A SECOND INTERVIEW! His Brandeis MD clinic is at the absolute cutting edge of male sexual wellness and longevity technology, and we talk about some of the treatments and protocols I went through when I was at his office for our first show. In this episode, we get further into the discussion of sexual health and how sexual function is a reliable indicator for your overall vascular health (in fact, diminished sexual function is a 10-year warning for eventual cardiovascular disease risk!) and talk about blood flow, how and why certain drugs work, and GAINSwave shockwave therapy to improve penile vascular health. You will learn about the science of erections and how you get erections, how to sustain them, where drugs like Cialis and Viagra help, and where they will just be bandaids on your dysfunctional vascular system.  You will also hear about the benefits of certain drugs (such as Cialis, which decreases the incidence of heart attacks and improves urinary function, and Viagra, which reduces the risk of dementia) and the importance of testosterone optimization, both naturally and through pharmaceutical intervention, for sexual health and penile performance.   BrandeisMD http://brandeismd.com is a national leader in technology and innovations in sexual medicine. Dr. Judson Brandeis is the National Director of Clinical Excellence for GAINSWave http://gainswave.com and created the largest study of Shockwave Therapy for ED ever, and BrandeisMD was one of the first offices in California to offer PT-141, Oxytocin, and Apomorphine for erectile dysfunction. Listen to our previous interview linked below.   TIMESTAMPS: If you are keeping your muscle mass, if you’re looking good in your body composition, this correlates directly with sexual function.   [00:38] What tendencies does he see in his clinic at the different ages of the patients? [02:29] Gainswave is a high frequency shock wave treatment that’s designed for penile function. As you age, you begin to clog blood vessels. [04:45] You have to optimize the blood flow to the penis. [06:49] You need an injury response for blood to the penis like damaging the muscles tissue after bicep curl. [10:37] Nitric oxide boosters are a wonderful way to decrease blood pressure.  [11:40] The psychological aspect is 50 percent of the whole process of erection. If your relationship is not where you want it to be, then it is not going to work.  [16:56] If you are developing erectile dysfunction, it is important to see a doctor because taking a pill is not going to fix the underlying problem. [22:40] Going into Gainswave office because of erectile problems, is not a magical cure.  One has to live a healthy lifestyle. [26:59] If you are not real active, your body won’t make as much testosterone. [32:43] The downsides of replacement therapy are growth of the prostate, although it does not cause cancer, and loss of hair. [35:10] Educate yourself about testosterone.  There are many people harming themselves from misuse of what they think will help them. [38:27] It is important to understand the effects of testosterone therapy.  You might be telling your testes to stop making their own. What is happening to your muscles? [49:16] Adequate sleep is most important for overall health. [56:24] To summarize, what are the messages for the patients from Dr. Brandeis?

THERE ARE TWO MAIN TYPES OF CRAMPS: SUDDEN-ONSET AND A SEVERE LOCALIZED CRAMP OF A SPECIFIC MUSCLE (E.G., THE RIGHT CALF) IS MORE LIKELY DUE TO CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM FATIGUE THAN DEHYDRATION OR ELECTROLYTE DEPLETION. Cramps that progress from mild to severe and are bilateral (i.e., both calves or both hamstrings) are more likely due to dehydration and electrolyte imbalances. Listen to this episode to discover how both types of cramps are not just bad luck that day or needing another scoop of electrolyte powder, but likely associated with overly-stressful workout patterns in general!   LINKS: __ __   JOIN BRAD FOR MORE FUN ON: Instagram: @bradkearns1 https://www.instagram.com/bradkearns1/ Facebook: @bradkearnsjumphigh https://www.facebook.com/bradkearnsjumphigh Twitter: @bradleykearns https://twitter.com/bradleykearns YouTube: @brad.kearns https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4XXEoULD0AiiuPHdRw-Efg TikTok: @bradkearns https://www.tiktok.com/@bradkearns   We appreciate all feedback, and questions for Q&A shows, emailed to podcast@bradventures.com.

IN THIS Q&A, I SHARE THE STORY OF AN ULTRA-ENDURANCE ATHLETE WHO IMPROVED THEIR HEALTH AND LOWERED BLOOD PRESSURE BY ADDING MEAT TO THEIR DIET, IF WE NEED TO CONSUME FAT (BACON AND AVOCADO!) DURING ULTRAMARATHONS (SHORT ANSWER: NO!), AND WHETHER OR NOT I RECOMMEND EATING FRUIT AND HIGH PROTEIN EVERY DAY, REGARDLESS OF ATHLETIC GOALS? I also share the story of a couple who lost lots of excess body fat in two months by using keto and intermittent fasting and talk about the importance of looking at the big picture of heart disease risk factors and doing further testing if necessary. Finally, should longtime extreme endurance athletes consider a CAC (coronary artery calcium scan), and can fit, older athletes add five beats or more to MAF heart rate? Maybe, but as you will hear in this episode, it’s also important to be conservative with MAF.   TIMESTAMPS: Joe is asking about the changes he has made in his diet and what they brought about.  If he is doing marathons, ultras and Ironman, it is not a good idea to introduce fasting into his regimen as he might not be getting enough protein. [00:24] If you are concerned about weight gain, remember that protein calories are not going to add body fat. [04:18] Participation in high endurance sports, even for 25 years, can bring high blood pressure, but you can find it decreases by adding red meat into the diet. [05:19] Joe is asking Brad if he is recommending fruit and protein every day no matter where you are in your training cycle? [07:10] Remember that snacking during endurance activity is not the best time to digest foods because the blood is diverted from your digestive system into your working extremities. [09:10] Chris shares how he and his wife found amazing changes in their lives after following Brad’s information on diet. [14:13] Ideally your body measurement should look at waist to height ratio. We want the waist circumference to be less than half of your height. [17:07] Scott in Palm Springs talks about one’s heart disease risk factors. He is recommending the CAC, Coronary Artery Calcium scan, especially for long time endurance athletes. [20:04] Brian, a cyclist, is asking about adding five beats to your maximum aerobic heart rate in certain circumstances. [24:36] Fat Max is the point where you are burning the maximum number of fat calories per minute during exercise. [29:46] Brian asks about what should he do when sprinting about keeping his heart rate under or over maximum heart rate.  [32:42]   LINKS: https://bradventures.thinkific.com/courses/primal-endurance-mastery-course __ __   JOIN BRAD FOR MORE FUN ON: Instagram: @bradkearns1 https://www.instagram.com/bradkearns1/ Facebook: @bradkearnsjumphigh https://www.facebook.com/bradkearnsjumphigh Twitter: @bradleykearns https://twitter.com/bradleykearns YouTube: @brad.kearns https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4XXEoULD0AiiuPHdRw-Efg TikTok: @bradkearns https://www.tiktok.com/@bradkearns   We appreciate all feedback, and questions for Q&A shows, emailed to podcast@bradventures.com.

IT’S IMPORTANT TO PAY CLOSE ATTENTION AT ALL TIMES TO SYMPTOMS OF OVERREACHING AND OVERTRAINING AND TAKE CORRECTIVE ACTION IMMEDIATELY (THIS IS TRUE FOR BOTH NOVICES AND COMPETITIVE TYPES), AND THIS EPISODE WILL TEACH YOU HOW TO DO THIS. As you will hear, the best leading indicator of overtraining is a slower MAF test performance—this is where you complete a fixed course (e.g., 8 laps of the track, or pedal 4 miles on stationary bike), holding your heart rate as close as possible to “fat max” aka aerobic maximum, and record your time. A slower time means you are out of stress-rest balance, and this is true even if you are experiencing competitive success at higher heart rates. If you want to learn how to identify and handle overtraining symptoms, this is the episode for you!   LINKS: __ __   JOIN BRAD FOR MORE FUN ON: Instagram: @bradkearns1 https://www.instagram.com/bradkearns1/ Facebook: @bradkearnsjumphigh https://www.facebook.com/bradkearnsjumphigh Twitter: @bradleykearns https://twitter.com/bradleykearns YouTube: @brad.kearns https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4XXEoULD0AiiuPHdRw-Efg TikTok: @bradkearns https://www.tiktok.com/@bradkearns   We appreciate all feedback, and questions for Q&A shows, emailed to podcast@bradventures.com.

I HAVE AN AWESOME AND BEAUTIFUL PODCAST FOR YOU TODAY FROM DR. ELISHA GOLDSTEIN—FOUNDER OF THE CENTER FOR MINDFUL LIVING IN LOS ANGELES, CA, ALONG WITH HIS WIFE, CO-FOUNDER STEFANIE. They do incredible work there and this interview was one of the best discussions I’ve had for this show—and it will stop all us distracted, multitasking, text binging, social media addicted modern humans in our tracks and rock our world!  We all know the dangers and drawbacks of hyper-connectivity and distractibility, and our diminishing focus and mindfulness in hectic modern life, but we seem to be collectively shrugging our shoulders, complaining a bit here and there, and carrying on, glued to our devices. My visit with Dr. Goldstein had a deep impact on me, because he explained beautifully how our repeated use of technology gets integrated into habit. We have engaged in “intentional practice and repeated it until it becomes automatic–until it becomes habit.” We often talk about habit-forming in a positive context, but what about undesirable, stress-producing behaviors that have become habits to our detriment? We know that humans are wired to respond with a dopamine burst to novel stimulation in our environment; in primal times it was a rustling in the bushes, today it’s the ding of text message. Dr. Goldstein explains that he too loves technology and while it can improve our lives in many ways, we have to be mindful and disciplined in our use of technology. In this episode, we discuss the difficulty of transforming to a new way of being because of the powerful force of habits and Dr. Goldstein explains how we can take control and experience more happiness and peace in daily life through three simple steps. Remember, habit retraining requires repetition and endurance. Dr. Goldstein has written books like stands for (mindfulness based stress reduction). He operates the Center for Mindful Living in Los Angeles with his wife Stefanie. They offer an awesome six-month intensive online Course in Mindful Living with expert guidance and group support. Slow down, relax, and listen carefully to this show.   TIMESTAMPS: Practicing mindfulness has brought tremendous peace to many who desperately need escape from the stresses of today’s life. [00:43] We are constantly pulled in many directions. [04:36] Hyperconnectivity can become a habit and therefore hard to control. [12:17] If you stop to rest or meditate, you might be inspiring the folks around you to take a break too. [16:08] Our behaviors are contagious to other people. [19:21] Learn to take note of when your body is bracing. [24:25] It is helpful to have some disciplined activity, especially first thing in the morning. [28:35] Peeling an orange changed Dr. Goldstein’s life. [33:34] The brain is always on the lookout for issues that can cause problems.  [36:04] Blame is often misdirected when we have uncomfortable emotion. [38:20] Learn to really pay attention to yourself and others. [41:50] We are addicted to stimulation. There is surprising power of waiting/boredom.  Imagine if you mastered restlessness and anxiety.  [46:47] When you are relaxed, you are more open to inspiration. [51:55] Learn to forgive yourself for not doing something that you had intended to do.

“OVERREACHING” IS A POPULAR TERM TO DESCRIBE A PERIOD OF ESCALATED TRAINING THAT GENERATES FITNESS IMPROVEMENTS OR COMPETITIVE SUCCESS, BUT WHICH IS NOT SUSTAINABLE OVER THE LONG TERM. As you’ll learn during this breather show, overreaching should be best characterized as early-stage overtraining—plenty of overreaching symptoms hint at imbalance and impending doom (they can certainly feel unpleasant), yet athletes often become intoxicated by the mood-elevating, painkilling effects of excess stress hormone production and the satisfaction of better workouts and superior competitive performances. Consequently, athletes routinely ignore overreaching symptoms, so they ultimately progress into a state of full-blown overtraining/burnout.    LINKS: __ __   JOIN BRAD FOR MORE FUN ON: Instagram: @bradkearns1 https://www.instagram.com/bradkearns1/ Facebook: @bradkearnsjumphigh https://www.facebook.com/bradkearnsjumphigh Twitter: @bradleykearns https://twitter.com/bradleykearns YouTube: @brad.kearns https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4XXEoULD0AiiuPHdRw-Efg TikTok: @bradkearns https://www.tiktok.com/@bradkearns   We appreciate all feedback, and questions for Q&A shows, emailed to podcast@bradventures.com.

I HAVE HAD IT WITH THE STUPID DIET WARS, SO IT’S TIME FOR A RANT AND AN EPISODE HIGHLIGHTING THE BIG PICTURE PERSPECTIVE OF LEADING A HEALTHY, ACTIVE, ENERGETIC LIFESTYLE AND THE BENEFITS OF FOCUSING ON “PERFORM, RECOVER, PERFORM, RECOVER”—MY NEW MANTRA, WHICH SHOULD SUPERCEDE ALL THE ARGUING AND NITPICKING WE DO ABOUT THE PARTICULARS OF PLANT-BASED VS ANIMAL-BASED DIETS, ETC.  This show was inspired by my friend sending me an innocent email reporting the results of a Stanford study https://med.stanford.edu/news/all-news/2023/11/twin-diet-vegan-cardiovascular.html that’s been getting a lot of headlines lately about identical twins who were each fed a different diet for eight weeks (one vegan, one animal based). I talk about the study in this show, including who funded the study in the first place (would you be shocked to learn it was a plant-based company?!), the importance of looking beyond headlines when it comes to health, and big picture insights that will help you navigate to the healthiest, most nutritious diet, and keep you on the path to longevity and disease prevention.    LINKS: __ __   JOIN BRAD FOR MORE FUN ON: Instagram: @bradkearns1 https://www.instagram.com/bradkearns1/ Facebook: @bradkearnsjumphigh https://www.facebook.com/bradkearnsjumphigh Twitter: @bradleykearns https://twitter.com/bradleykearns YouTube: @brad.kearns https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4XXEoULD0AiiuPHdRw-Efg TikTok: @bradkearns https://www.tiktok.com/@bradkearns   We appreciate all feedback, and questions for Q&A shows, emailed to podcast@bradventures.com.

IT’S IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND HOW THE HYPOTHALAMIC-PITUITARY-ADRENAL (HPA) AXIS WORKS RELATING TO THE STRESS RESPONSE, PARTICULARLY HOW WE ABUSE DELICATE FIGHT OR FLIGHT MECHANISMS IN HECTIC, HIGH STRESS MODERN LIFE AND LAYING OVERLY-STRESSFUL TRAINING PATTERNS ON TOP OF THAT. It’s important to understand the endorphin rush through the evolutionary biology lens of life or death repercussions, rather than get addicted to the rush and believe this is positive and healthy.

IT’S TIME FOR A REBROADCAST OF DR. TOMMY WOOD CONTENT! I can’t speak highly enough about Dr. Tommy—he gives so much sensible, easy to understand health information, is an accomplished physician, researcher, and former head of the Ancestral Physicians Society—and in this episode, you will hear sensible and practical health tips from Dr. Tommy (as well as some of the science behind them) to help you optimize your sleep, stress management, diet, and exercise habits.  Enjoy the show!   TIMESTAMPS: This rebroadcast is with Dr. Tommy Wood who is an expert in Ancestral health. [00:46] Dr. Tommy’s current job is in research neonatal brain injury as well as studying the fact that 80 to 90 percent of Western population has the beginnings of metabolic disease. [05:35] The majority of people are aware of the information that is out there for better health practices, but just don’t do anything about it. [07:05] It is very difficult for people to make a change even when they know the facts. How can we initiate change toward a healthier population? [10:04] What have we learned from the extreme edge of the pursuit of optimal health? [14:06] When Brad was doing keto, he was fasting and realized he still wasn’t as fit as he wanted to be.  Tommy’s advise was to eat more food. [17:59] Caloric restriction does work in terms of longevity and across multiple species, but it is not universal. [24:23] If you are struggling to reduce excess body fat, advice is to get metabolically healthy first before restricting carbohydrates. [29:55] Do EMFs have a biological effect on our mitochondria? [32:20] Cell phone in your pocket lowers sperm count. [35:30] How does a person get motivated? [37:52] After a serious bite injury from a venomous snake, Tommy’s recovery took a long time. Months passed before he could get back to his fitness regimen. [39:34] When people take supplements in hopes of enhancing longevity, how do they know if it is making a difference? What do the blood tests really say? [46:09] About 80 percent of people in the US have at least one of the markers of metabolic syndrome. Testosterone levels vary with age and health issues. [52:32] The Carnivore premise makes a lot of sense but there are some questions that arise. [59:20] We have built an environment that completely removes our ability to adapt. [01:04:08] If you have no autoimmune or inflammatory conditions and want to optimize longevity, what kind of foods should you be looking for? [01:10:04] There is no right answer as to the diet. Everyone is different and basically the scientists cannot tell you. Just get off the junk food.  [01:16:30] Eat food that looks like food.

IN THIS EPISODE, I SHARE MY RECOMMENDATIONS FOR BLOOD TESTING FOR HEALTH, DISEASE SCREENING, AND PEAK PERFORMANCE WITH PARTICULAR RELEVANCE TO FITNESS-MINDED MALES WHO WANT TO AGE GRACEFULLY. Unfortunately, typical screening is just scratching the surface and there are many flawed and dated misconceptions about mainstream medical system blood screening and disease risk factors,  so I wanted to talk about which tests I recommend, counter some of the misconceptions and misinterpretations about this topic, and share commentary from highly respected ancestral health leaders like Dr. Cate Shanahan, Dr. Ron Sinha, Dr. Peter Attia, Dr. Paul Saladino, Dr. Gabrielle Lyon, and Dr. Layne Norton. After listening to this show, you will come away with a better understanding of your test results and also with an understanding of how you can take more control of your blood testing. One way to accomplish this is by ordering tests directly and getting results via the Internet—I have done this myself for many years by testing my male hormone profiles frequently and tracking the results against my lifestyle practices (hint: overtraining tanks testosterone). Enjoy this episode, and feel free to share it with any cardiologist so he she can reply ‘who dis clown?’”   TIMESTAMPS: Brad has done much research on blood tests. His knowledge and personal experience, brings solid information we all should be aware of. [00:45] The blood test results you typically get from your doctor don’t go very far. [01:51] Any talk of your “good cholesterol is good” and your “bad cholesterol is bad”, is coming from someone who is 40 or 50 years behind the emerging research. [03:39] The triglycerides to HDL ratio is the single most important marker for heart disease. [05:31] There are some things to analyze on your own blood report. Ask for fasting blood insulin. And test your body composition for free. [12:14] As you age, it is important to focus on the sex hormone panels. Testosterone is an extremely important hormone. [19:20] Vitamin D technically is a hormone rather than a vitamin. It is important for cancer prevention. Learn about proper sun exposure. [27:04] Some other important tests are hemoglobin, hematocrit, and iron. High blood viscosity is a red flag.  [33:30] Fasting glucose and HB A1C levels can predict what your blood sugar is like. [37:19] A quick analysis of your waistline is to look at the waist to height ratio.  The waist in inches should be half of the height in inches. [41:20] Colonoscopy and mammograms are important but you need to beware about false positives and the stress they cause. Insist on thorough EKG. [43:20] Blood pressure is something you can monitor at home. There are many causes of high unhealthy blood pressure that can be handled by changes you can make.  [48:12] In summary, stay on top of your blood readings, especially if you are an active athlete. Testosterone is especially important as you age. [49:30] Brad talks about handling illnesses naturally rather than depending on prescription medications which mask the symptoms you are experiencing.

IT MAY NOT BE EVERYONE’S FAVORITE SUBJECT, BUT WE’VE GOT TO TALK ABOUT OVERTRAINING BECAUSE OF HOW IMPORTANT IT IS TO HAVE A HEIGHTENED AWARENESS AND PAY CONSTANT ATTENTION TO YOUR STRESS/REST BALANCE—OTHERWISE YOU WILL MAKE THE SAME, ALL TOO COMMON MISTAKES MOST PEOPLE DO AND WILL PLUNGE INTO THE SPIRALS OF OVERREACHING, OVERTRAINING, AND FULL-BLOWN BURNOUT. An overly stressful approach unfortunately can and will compromise the many benefits of leading an active, energetic, fit lifestyle, and this is true even when the exerciser feels strong and energetic and makes quantifiable progress with fitness goals. Understanding the delicate nuances of the fight-or-flight response to exercise can help prevent overexertion in the first place. Gaining a complete understanding of the symptoms and imbalances associated with the temporary state of overreaching (the predecessor to overtraining) and full-blown overtraining can help coaches and athletes navigate these treacherous waters with aplomb. More shows ahead with details about this important topic!   LINKS: __ __   JOIN BRAD FOR MORE FUN ON: Instagram: @bradkearns1 https://www.instagram.com/bradkearns1/ Facebook: @bradkearnsjumphigh https://www.facebook.com/bradkearnsjumphigh Twitter: @bradleykearns https://twitter.com/bradleykearns YouTube: @brad.kearns https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4XXEoULD0AiiuPHdRw-Efg TikTok: @bradkearns https://www.tiktok.com/@bradkearns   We appreciate all feedback, and questions for Q&A shows, emailed to podcast@bradventures.com.

I AM SO EXCITED TO INTRODUCE A UNIQUE AND SUPER INTERESTING, LIVELY, TALKATIVE GUEST—ATO BOLDON! Track & Field fans will recognize Ato since he is one of the fastest humans of all time who competed in the Olympics back in the ‘90s representing Trinidad and Tobago (he also has eight global medals). After retiring from elite competition, Ato transitioned into an amazing and lengthy career in the broadcast booth and he has worked as the lead broadcaster for NBC Track & Field for 17 years. I am not kidding when I say I consider him to be the single best commentator in the world in any sport, and it was actually because of a Track & Field event I attended (the Diamond League Finals in Eugene, Oregon) that I was able to connect with Ato since I happened to bump into him on my flight! Thanks to that event, I was able to connect with him and interview him about his life and career: growing up in Trinidad and Tobago and later, New York and California, how he never lost a single race to another collegiate athlete, the injury and car accident that cut his athletic career short and how he transitioned into his second, still fulfilling career, the preparation and focus that goes into being a great broadcaster, coaching elite athletes and NFL players, and more!   TIMESTAMPS: Even if you are not a track and field fan, you will enjoy Ato Boldon, one of the world’s most accomplished athlete and sports broadcaster. [00:45] Ato has an interesting story to tell about his rise into the sport. [04:07] Some young athletes do not start out with the natural talent or physical features necessary to become champions. [08:34] It is difficult to know or see what potential there is in a young athlete. [12:24] Ato’s formative years as an athlete were in the US.  What would his story have been had he stayed in the Caribbean competing with those runners? [16:38] It is difficult to be a professional in the sport of track and field. The competition with the world’s best is important, even more so than the color of the medal. [20:41] Sports is about overcoming what life throws at us. [26:47] How do the athletes’ times from a generation ago compare with today’s? Shoe technology has much to do with the new records. [30:20] Usain Bolt has a reputation of being lazy in training rather than wisely resting more. What are Ato’s thoughts about Usain? [34:18] Seven Steps, Drive Phase, are examples of coaching on running form in 1995. [39:07] Ato’s career took a sudden turn after injuries sustained in an auto accident. He talks about learning to be a broadcaster. [41:32] What does the future schedule look like for Ato?

LISTENERS, YOU KNOW HOW MUCH I LOVE TO TALK ABOUT SPRINTING AND RECOMMEND ADDING SPRINTING (TRULY EXPLOSIVE, ALL-OUT, MAXIMUM EFFORTS) TO YOUR TRAINING REGIMEN FOR ALL THE WONDERFUL HEALTH, FITNESS, AND LONGEVITY BENEFITS THAT ACCRUE—WHICH IS WHY IT WAS SUCH AN EXTREME PRIVILEGE TO WELCOME LION MARTINEZ TO THE SHOW. Lion happens to be the fastest human who has ever lived over the age of 45 and he has broken more than a few world records (such as a 10.72 world record in the masters 100 meters championship in 2023). He is dominating the sport right now, and also coaches a group of master sprinters and young, elite sprinters near his base in Stockholm, Sweden. Every person in his group has set personal best in successive years—not a surprise when you learn about his very scientific, methodical approach to sprint training.  The episode with Lion gets a little technical at times as we discussed some of the science of the energy systems and the parameters of training and recovery, but he did a wonderful job explaining this in a way everyone can understand, and all athletes and fitness enthusiasts will get a lot of value out of hearing some of these important principles—especially how to integrate explosive, high intensity workouts into your training regimen, and most especially, how to do them correctly so you don’t pull a hamstring or get injured!   LINKS: __ __   JOIN BRAD FOR MORE FUN ON: Instagram: @bradkearns1 https://www.instagram.com/bradkearns1/ Facebook: @bradkearnsjumphigh https://www.facebook.com/bradkearnsjumphigh Twitter: @bradleykearns https://twitter.com/bradleykearns YouTube: @brad.kearns https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4XXEoULD0AiiuPHdRw-Efg TikTok: @bradkearns https://www.tiktok.com/@bradkearns   We appreciate all feedback, and questions for Q&A shows, emailed to podcast@bradventures.com.

RELATIONSHIP COACH JILLIAN TURECKI IS HERE TO SHARE INCREDIBLE ADVICE TO HELP YOU REALIZE HOW YOU CAN CHOOSE THE BEST PARTNER FOR YOURSELF, HELP YOU NAVIGATE YOUR RELATIONSHIP, TIPS FOR GETTING OUT OF RELATIONSHIPS RUTS, AND MORE! Jillian has a gift for concise, pithy insights that can be life-changing (she has been a relationship coach for 20 years helping people transform their relationships with themselves), and in this episode, she explains why we all need discipline and curiosity, how we all can always control our own behavior, and the importance of transcending the urges of the primitive brain so you can start to become more self-aware and change your relationship patterns.  This is a great show to listen to if you’re relationship, but particularly if you are single and looking for a partner—Jillian will tell you how to break negative patterns in your relationships and avoid creating stories and getting into your head too far, why so many women often go for the Bad Boy and men often go for the Baby Bird, why resentment is the killer of relationships, and more helpful advice to help you navigate your relationships, whether you’re single or partnered up.    TIMESTAMPS: The mind is a battlefield, so we have to work hard and make a choice to do something different in life. [00:52] Most relationship problems stem from something that’s going on in our own life, like not being happy, fulfilled, satisfied, or your low self-esteem.  [05:23] We often end up telling stories about the person we are in a relationship with rather than learning good communication.  [08:07] How do we extricate ourselves from the pattern of assuming? What is the story I’m telling myself? [13:28] These problems are not part of a flawed childhood, it is just part of being human. [16:19] Everyone is in control of their behavior. [22:20] The two things that matter in a relationship is who you choose and who you show up as. [24:49] You want someone who embodies the qualities and the character traits that you need in order to function in a relationship.  [29:31] Why do some women go for the bad boy? [33:33] Some men are attracted to a woman who is a broken bird. Her vulnerability is what attracts. [39:16] In general people want to live their life with someone who loves them. [42:58] Do you have to love yourself before you can be in a relationship? [46:47] Sex complicates things.  Get to know someone on a profound level before you take it to sex and playing house with each other. [50:18] Men like to hunt and pursue women. The problem is they don’t understand what happens to the woman after he catches and beds her.

I AM SO EXCITED TO INTRODUCE THE FASTEST HUMAN WHO HAS EVER LIVED ON THE PLANET OVER AGE 45—WORLD RECORD HOLDER IN MASTERS 100 METERS, LION MARTINEZ FROM STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN! Lion coaches a thriving group of other master sprinters and as you will soon hear in this show, has some novel and fascinating ideas on how to train for sprinting that destroys some of the misconceptions and notions we have misinterpreted about what it means to be a truly explosive athlete. You will learn important things like the natural and necessary tradeoff between training for endurance competency and training for true speed and explosiveness (newsflash: you can’t really do both), tidbits about the energy systems of the body and why we’re truly only capable of maintaining maxim explosive output for around 3.5 seconds (and can only maintain our top speed for 7-8 seconds), why sprinting is an art form, what happens when we exhaust the lactate pathways, how to improve your technique and become a master sprinter, and more!   TIMESTAMPS: This show from the world’s fastest man over age 45 will be invaluable for any and all fitness enthusiasts. [00:43] How do the times for today’s runners compare with the ancient Olympic records? [04:38] What has changed with technology and training and recovery? [06:39] The records in the Masters division have continually gone down. [09:30] What is Lion’s athletic background that got him to this point? [12:01] Competition is the beauty of the sport. [22:16] What is the training like now? [25:57] You can’t tell if you screwed up until you are further down the road. Recovery is very important. [29:38] There are different types of fatigue or energy systems. [32:48] Sprinting is unnatural for humans. The right technique is more complicated than just moving your legs. There’s a real science to it. [39:14] It seems the goal of getting faster by doing sprints that are shorter and taking more rest might be less physically stressful and less breakdown when you’re talking about a training pattern.

“BREAKFAST IS THE IMPORTANT MEAL OF THE DAY,” ACCORDING TO DECADES-LONG CONVENTIONAL WISDOM—HOWEVER, THIS NOTION HAS BEEN SLAMMED IN RECENT YEARS ALONG WITH THE RISE OF THE ANCESTRAL HEALTH MOVEMENT. But now, breakfast is coming back in style for many reasons—especially for healthy, active folks looking to pursue peak performance and avoid disease and delay aging. Listen to this episode to learn about the benefits of eating breakfast, why the morning hours are the most opportune time to consume calories, why certain people should still consider partaking in fasting for health benefits, why skipping breakfast or eating low-carb can be too stressful for certain people, how to treat an “energy toxicity” problem, and much more!   TIMESTAMPS: Breakfast is making a comeback after being derided in the ancestral movement. [00:44] What is important is understanding how to consume the right foods for your activities during the day. [02:03] Consume fewer nutrient deficient calories because that is the main culprit causing metabolic function problems. [05:28] If you simply eliminate processed foods, you can’t get fat. (Lustig) [06:39] The idea that too many eggs will give you a heart attack has been disproven. [08:47] For many years, Brad would skip breakfast.  Now he has done a complete about face. [09:37] Fruit provides easy-to-digest calories, good all year around. [11:31] A large number of genes associated with energy utilization are under circadian control. [15:21] Break your fast in the morning emphasizing protein. A recent study showed that 78% of the people in the study who ate breakfast every day, lost weight and kept it off long-term. [19:58] Weigh yourself every day.  [23:15] It is easy to add excess body fat when eating non-nutritional processed foods. [26:24] Brad’s motto is: perform, recover, perform, recover. Don’t forget keto is a stress mechanism. [30:24] Brad talks about his recent fasting as a result of having COVID. [35:41] Make a concerted effort to consume the most nutritious foods.

HOW ABOUT A QUICK OVERVIEW OF THE 10 MAGNIFICENT PRIMAL BLUEPRINT LIFESTYLE LAWS? In this episode, you’ll hear an overview of the first five. The Primal Blueprint lifestyle was first introduced to the world by Mark Sisson back in 2005 on MarksDailyApple.com and then later in the best-selling book, 2009’s , which is credited with kickstarting the Primal lifestyle movement, which is going strong today. Mark and I are so pleased to still see the book in the best-seller category, and still the best entry point of a comprehensive education on how to live an ancestral-inspired, long, healthy active life modeling and adapting the lifestyle behaviors of our hunter-gatherer homo sapiens ancestors into the reality of crazy, hectic modern life. Listen to this episode to hear an overview of the first five lifestyle laws and stay tuned for the next five in part two!   LINKS: __ __   JOIN BRAD FOR MORE FUN ON: Instagram: @bradkearns1 https://www.instagram.com/bradkearns1/ Facebook: @bradkearnsjumphigh https://www.facebook.com/bradkearnsjumphigh Twitter: @bradleykearns https://twitter.com/bradleykearns YouTube: @brad.kearns https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4XXEoULD0AiiuPHdRw-Efg TikTok: @bradkearns https://www.tiktok.com/@bradkearns   We appreciate all feedback, and questions for Q&A shows, emailed to podcast@bradventures.com.
