Fit Father Project Podcast

Episode 264 of the Fit Father Project Podcast - Dr. Anthony Balduzzi sits down with Wyatt Ewing, founder and CEO of Ice Barrel, to talk about one of the most powerful “good stressors” you can add to your life: cold exposure.Wyatt shares how, back in 2017, he was burned out in corporate aviation, constantly on his phone, dealing with chronic bronchitis, anxiety, and a survival-mode mindset. A blunt comment at the gym and a suggestion to try cold showers and breathing exercises sent him down a path that completely changed his mental health, physical resilience, and life direction.You’ll hear how his first intentional 30-second cold shower snapped him into the present moment, helped quiet his anxious mind, and eventually led him to experiment with bathtubs, trash cans, horse troughs—and ultimately to creating Ice Barrel, one of the first direct-to-consumer cold plunges on the market.If you’re a busy dad (or mom) who wants more energy, better mental focus, and a simple daily practice that makes you feel more alive and grounded, this episode will show you exactly how cold can become one of your most powerful health tools.Key TakeawaysCold plunging as fast, high-impact daily practicePresent-moment focus instead of anxious, racing thoughtsHealthy “good stress” to train your nervous systemLower inflammation and pain with regular cold exposureMood and energy boost from endorphins and dopamineSimple weekly goal: about 12 minutes of coldBest range for most people: 50–60°F waterIntentional breathing: in 4 seconds, out 6 secondsUpright plunging posture for calm, alert presenceCold + sauna as powerful recovery and reset ritualPlunge Into Ice Barrel and Wyatt Ewing:Website: https://icebarrel.com/Use discount code FITFAMILY at checkout and receive $100 off barrels or chillers, $200 off bundles, in addition to sitewide discounts.Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/icebarrel/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theicebarrelX: https://x.com/Ice_BarrelYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC40pA9GBIVro1iZDRWG8seQBiographical Information on Wyatt EwingFounder and CEO of Ice Barrel, Wyatt’s areas of expertise include product innovation, manufacturing and eCommerce marketing. Before Ice Barrel, he worked in corporate aviation buying and selling jets. Like so many, he bought into the fiction society tells us: work harder, sleep less and don't complain. The stress and anxiety of the 60- to 80-hour work week took a toll on his physical and mental well-being. Eventually, reality caught up with Wyatt. "I was broken, sick and desperate for a change."Shortly after hitting bottom, a stranger approached him at the gym and offered some candid advice. Saying, "you don't look well," the man then went on to explain the power of breathwork, meditation and cold showers. Wyatt was skeptical, but also desperate to try anything. He started researching the science of cold therapy and was hooked. It wasn't long before his wife noticed the results of these new practices. "It was like he was a new man."After growing tired of cold showers and ice baths in the house, Wyatt decided to invent a cold therapy device that would allow him to simplify the practice. He started sharing a few of these prototypes with others and quickly realized that there were so many people looking for a solution for their recovery. That's when he set out on a mission to create the most accessible and effective cold therapy solutions, helping everybody, everywhere, to get colder and feel better! A few months later, Ice Barrel went from a prototype to a product.Today Ice Barrel is considered a leading brand in the cold therapy industry. The team at Ice Barrel believes that everyone is capable of a life filled with well-being, and they are working to introduce products that simplify the practices that release us to do the extraordinary.Wyatt lives in Ohio with his wife and three children. He is passionate about family, cold therapy, CrossFit, health and wellness, agriculture and being in nature.SUJI Bands - Small and mighty!If you want to learn more about the Suji portable compression training device, visit https://www.trysuji.com/ and use code FITFATHER for 20% off your first order.LIVE events to meet up with FFP in 2026!Fit Father / Fit Mother LIVE 2026 — August 7–9, 2026 Super Early Bird pricing now through Dec. 1.

Episode 263 of the Fit Father Project Podcast is an uplifting conversation with member David Kilburn. During the chat, David explains how years of “I’ll do it myself” finally gave way to a structured container and real accountability. He talks about joining FFP Foundations, making friends in the chat, and how that daily check-in pressure helped him walk past office donuts and shut down late-night snacking. We get practical with the exact swaps that fit his busy Wednesdays, what daily weigh-ins taught him about carb choices, and how planning ahead for holidays and birthdays turns food from a trigger into a conscious choice.We also cover how he navigated a sudden back issue—shifting to walking and core work without abandoning the plan—and the non-scale wins that keep him motivated (belt holes, looser 38s, more evening energy with the kids). David’s advice for new members is simple: focus on nutrition, show up in the chat, accept support, and keep going the day after an imperfect one. His next targets: rebuild to heavier lifts, drop under 200, and continue trading “reactive” for “proactive” in every area of life.Key TakeawaysAccountability beats willpowerDaily chat check-ins turned temptations into conscious choices.“Plan it, don’t wing it”Late-night snacking fixesWeigh daily, learn faster: the scale became feedback to calibrate carbs—not a judgment.Train through setbacksHolidays/birthdays without guilt: decide in advance, enjoy intentionally, return to baseline next meal.Start simple: dial nutrition first, lean on the community, and focus on the next right action.Lasting Strength, Less Joint Strain - SUJIIf you want to learn more about the Suji portable compression training device, visit https://www.trysuji.com/ and use code FITFATHER for 20% off your first order.BEAM Minerals—feel the differenceLearn about Beam Minerals and what they can do for your health at beamminerals.com/fitfamily.

In episode 262 of the Fit Father Project Podcast, we pull back the curtain on our Belize mission & service trip with two of our past travelers, Erin Bohannon (Fit Mother) and Geoff Rothman (Fit Father). You’ll hear why a health and fitness community chooses to serve—channeling the strength we build in the gym into something bigger—as we partner with Koinonia Ministries in Orange Walk to help construct a safe home for a local mom. We walk through the real flow of the week: simple, clean lodging; breakfasts at the church; hands-on building (from foundation to walls and roof); and shared dinners with local families that deliver deep perspective and joy. We also cover safety (we move as a group and even do morning street workouts), why the build progresses over multiple trips, and how seemingly small contributions (like replacing a church kitchen oven) create outsized impact.We call it “service + adventure” for a reason. After the build, we explore the country’s beauty—Mayan sites, snorkeling around Caye Caulker, and even a wooden outdoor “jungle gym.” Families and teens thrive on this trip, finding meaningful roles on site and memories that last. We share dates, costs, and logistics for the next trip (starting June 6, 2026), plus how you can join us or support the project if travel isn’t possible. If Belize has been on your heart—or you’re ready to put your fitness to work—this conversation will show you exactly what to expect and how to get involved.Key TakeawaysService is the natural next step of vibrant health—use your energy to help others. We partner with Koinonia Ministries in Orange Walk to build a safe home for Romani and her kids. Expect simple, clean lodging; daily construction; shared meals; and rich cross-cultural connection. Families and teens thrive on this trip (safe, supervised, real work that matters). We mix in adventure—Mayan temples, Caye Caulker snorkeling, and the outdoor “jungle gym.” If you can’t come, donating (and employer matches) makes a huge impact.Better Belize It - June 2026!Website: https://www.fitfatherproject.com/belize-mission-trip/Lasting Strength, Less Joint Strain - SUJIIf you want to learn more about the Suji portable compression training device, visit https://www.trysuji.com/ and use code FITFATHER for 20% off your first order.Join Fit Father LIVE in 2026!Fit Father / Fit Mother LIVE 2026 — August 7–9, 2026 Super Early Bird pricing now through Dec. 1.

Coffee is more than a morning pick-me-up—it’s the most common source of antioxidants in the American diet and, when sourced and prepared right, it can be a daily health habit. In Episode 261 of the Fit Father Project Podcast, Dr. Anthony Balduzzi sits down with Dr. Charles Livingston, CEO and founder of Lifeboost Coffee, to unpack what makes coffee “clean,” why some beans bother your gut (and others don’t), and how farming, testing, and roasting practices impact mold/mycotoxins, heavy metals, pesticides, acrylamide, and even PFAS.You’ll also hear how to “upgrade” your cup—think low-acid single-origin beans, C8 MCT oil, collagen, and L-ergothioneine—to steady energy, smoother focus, and fewer crashes. Dr. Livingston shares his “Trust Pure” approach from farm-to-cup, why he delays coffee until mid-morning for better cortisol rhythm, and simple, tasty ways to make cold brew at home.Share this episode with a coffee-loving friend who wants clean energy without the jitters.Key Takeaways:The real health upsides of coffee and how to get them without the downsidesWhat to know about mold/mycotoxins, heavy metals, pesticides, acrylamide, and PFASWhy low-acid beans can be easier on the stomachPersonalized coffee toleranceHow/why to delay your first coffee until ~10 am for smoother energy and better cortisol alignment“Supercharging” your coffee: C8 MCT oil, collagen, and L-ergothioneine (a mitochondria-supporting antioxidant) for cleaner focusA simple, reliable cold brew methodWhen coffee helps workouts—and when to skip the pre-workout hypeLearn More about Dr. Charles Livingston & Lifeboost Coffee:Website: lifeboostcoffee.com/fitfamily Click the website link above and enjoy 58% off your first order.Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lifeboostcoffee/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/lifeboostcoffee/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@lifeboostcoffeeYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyweW2mBoIpci7pYNNtgcvgX: https://x.com/lifeboostcoffeeBiographical Information on Dr. Charles LivingstonDr. Charles Livingston is the CEO and founder of Lifeboost Coffee, celebrated for its organic, low-acid, and sustainably sourced coffee.

Episode 260 of the Fit Father Project Podcast. In this candid, practical conversation, Ben Sterling sits down with host Dr. Anthony Balduzzi to unpack a stacked season—family stress, celebrations, grief, and schedule chaos—and how he kept momentum without chasing perfection. You’ll hear the real story behind Ben’s “anchor habits” (hydration, morning light, walks, protein-first meals) and how he flexes the variables—training volume, carb intake, and fasting windows—when life gets loud. The result is a repeatable framework for staying consistent when motivation is thin.We also go deep on training smarter over 40: when to deload (and what that actually looks like), how to scale carbs to match workout demand, and simple injury work-arounds that protect knees and shoulders while you keep making progress. Ben shares shoulder and spine “hygiene” you’ll actually do in 5–10 minutes a day—think hangs, traction, and elbows-in pressing tweaks—plus a short, plug-and-play routine for high-stress weeks.Finally, with candy season and holidays looming, Dr. A and Ben lay out a guilt-free playbook: plan one discrete splurge, donate the leftovers, and pair big meals with glycogen-draining training or a short reset fast so you refill muscle, not waistline. If you’ve been juggling responsibilities, emotions, and aches—and still want forward motion—Episode 260 gives you the mindset, micro-habits, and on-the-ground tactics to turn any setback into your next comeback.Key TakeawaysKeep 2–3 anchors non-negotiable (e.g., AM/PM walks, hydration, daylight).Training is a stressor—on high-stress weeks, deload beats grinding harder.Scale carbs to training demand; fasting is fine when appetite dips.Celebrate on purpose, once, and move on—avoid “carryover calories.”Don’t push through sharp pain; modify exercises and investigate imbalances.Shoulder comfort loves elbows-in pressing and smart exercise selection.Daily “spine hygiene” (hangs, gentle traction, rolling) pays off fast.For candy season: plan a discrete splurge, donate the rest, and reset.Empty the “carb buckets” (training + fasting) before big-carb events.Meaning-making matters: channel grief/stress into purposeful action.Try Suji and Build Lasting Strength with Less Joint Strain To learn more about the Suji portable compression training device, visit https://www.trysuji.com/ and use code FITFATHER for 20% off your first order.Fit Father Featured EventsFit Father / Fit Mother LIVE 2026 — August 7–9, 2026 Super Early Bird pricing now through Dec. 1.

If you live in the modern world, you live in an “invisible rainbow” of EMFs from phones, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, tablets, smart meters, and now 5G small cells. Episode 259 is an eye-opening conversation with Dr. Anthony Balduzzi and DefenderShield’s Kylen Ribeiro. Together they demystify EMFs in plain English: what they are (ELF vs. RF), where your real exposure comes from, and how to reduce it without ditching technology.We cover the big three levers—time, distance, shielding—plus safer headphone choices, laptop and phone best practices, router placement, kids’ screen habits, and what to know about smart meters and “smart home” devices. You’ll also hear practical family strategies (download shows, airplane mode, bedroom sanctuaries) and how to think about 4G vs. 5G today and beyond.Key TakeawaysWhy EMFs are the “invisible stressor” most people overlookHow phones, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and small cells differWhat research and field reports suggest about sleep, anxiety, and fertilityThe pitfalls of “harmonizers” and how to evaluate claimsThe family plan: downloads, airplane mode, lap safety, router placementOffice & bedroom makeovers (fast wins + when to add shielding gear)Smart meters & building materials: risks, options, and cost-effective fixesAction list for this week + long-term upgradesLearn More about Kylen Ribeiro and DefenderShield:Website:  https://defendershield.com/Use discount code FITFAMILY15 at checkout and receive 15% off your order.Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/defendershieldInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/defendershield/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/DefenderShieldPinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/defendershield/Links to Dr. Anthony's EMF PresentationDr. Anthony Balduzzi’s Deep Dive EMF Presentation: https://vimeo.com/manage/videos/824648488/da30d4781dResearch Document on Health Effects of EMFs referenced in the video presentation (download): https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ghsXk7wbTWrT5QHknc4JuS5E9mHssp4qXzDuBGpSKTs/edit?usp=sharingBiographical Information on Kylen RibeiroKylen is the Chief Executive Officer at DefenderShield, and is responsible for leading the strategic growth of the company.

Episode 256 of the Fit Father Project podcast is an eye‑opening conversation with Kim Rogers, of RogersHood, known online as the “Worm Queen.” Kim shares with Dr. Anthony Balduzzi how a lifelong struggle with endometriosis, surgeries, and undiagnosed Lyme led her to a viral parasite‑cleanse journey—and a mission to help others. Kim explains the real‑world prevalence of parasites and why the common numbers likely underreport the problem due to testing blind spots. She breaks down the landscape: microscopic protozoa (e.g., Giardia, D. fragilis, Crypto), visible nematodes (roundworms, flukes, tapeworms, pinworms), Candida overgrowth, and Lyme—and how these often stack with heavy metals and mold to drive symptoms from gut issues to mood changes and cravings.We dig into how parasites hijack behavior, the candida–sugar loop, and the often‑misunderstood toxoplasma story beyond just cats. Kim outlines a practical framework for cleansing: kill → bind → evacuate, including why binders are non‑negotiable, what biofilm is, and how her Parafiy/Parafide Kit (three tinctures + a binder) sequences herbs like wormwood, clove, cilantro (for metals), and more to make the process simple and tolerable. We also cover lifestyle support—movement, lymph flow, stress reduction, and smart food add‑ins (pumpkin seeds, garlic, cilantro, dandelion root).Kim also shines a light on mold—how it brain‑fogged her life, how to suspect it, and why you should address the source (home, RVs, bathrooms, slow leaks) while using targeted support. She discusses water and pet exposures, why some municipal testing misses nematodes, and simple habits to stay proactive—like running a 30‑day cleanse 3–4×/year, especially around travel, sushi nights, lake swims, or stressful seasons.We wrap with practical food and product tips: daily binders and minerals (she likes fulvic/humic support—her kit even uses a fulvic foot soak), probiotic foods like Coconut Cult, and gut‑soothing marshmallow root treats. If you’re over 40, love sushi, have pets, or feel stuck with “mystery” symptoms, this one gives you a grounded plan to test, cleanse, and rebuild—without fear.Key Takeaways:Parasites, candida, mold, and heavy metals often co-existVisible worms are only part of the picture; protozoa are very commonThe cleanse framework is kill → bind → evacuate, with binders being essentialBiofilm breakdown is necessary to expose hidden organismsCilantro and other herbs can support heavy metal detoxSushi, raw produce, and undercooked meats are common parasite exposuresPets, ponds, lakes, and unfiltered water are major risk factorsRunning a 30-day cleanse three to four times per year is recommendedMovement, lymph flow, and stress reduction improve outcomesCandida drives sugar cravings; diet adjustments are keyMold can change mood and behavior; addressing sources is criticalSimple foods like garlic, clove, pumpkin seeds, and cilantro support cleansingRegular water and air testing can reveal hidden exposuresFulvic and humic minerals provide support and binding capacityBinders should always accompany anti-parasitic herbs or foodsLearn More about Kim Rogers and RogersHood:Website:  https://rogershood.com/Use discount code FITFAMILY at checkout and receive 10% off your order.Podcast: What's Eating U?! https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/whats-eating-u/id1798180273Facebook: https://facebook.com/groups/939934813840694/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mrsrogers.hood/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mrsrogershoodYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0DqZB28z2jtUSLgXyC-N9gLinktree: https://linktr.ee/RogersHoodMold test kits: https://www.gotmold.com/Water tests: https://www.parasites.org/https://etrlabs.com/product/legacy-health-scan/Biographical Information on Kim RogersKim Rogers is a seasoned wellness professional with over 20 years of experience in Western medicine.

Throughout her extensive tenure in the medical field, she has authored numerous medical publications, contributed to national allied health certification tests, and provided valuable insights as a member of medical advisory boards.Kim's journey in the medical field took an unexpected turn when her own health challenges led her on a transformative path.

This kit consists of high-quality, hand made herbal tinctures aimed at detoxing unwanted parasites, worms, candida, heavy metals & toxins while also promoting well-being.RogersHood gained widespread recognition after Kim's personal results with parasites went viral on TikTok and Instagram, gaining millions of views and hundreds of thousands of followers crowning her the “Worm Queen”.

On Episode 255 of the Fit Father Project Podcast, we sit down with Fit Father member Chris Farrell, a husband, father of two young boys, and commercial appraiser from Atlanta, Georgia. Like so many busy dads, Chris was caught in the cycle of long workdays, constant travel, and family responsibilities — and his health was slipping away. At 37, he found himself tired, unmotivated, and carrying extra weight. A routine doctor’s visit revealed his testosterone levels were equivalent to that of a man 30 years older. That was the wake-up call.Chris joined the Fit Father Foundations Program and committed himself to the process. In just six weeks, he dropped 17 pounds — even while traveling for work — and discovered a new structure for his eating and workouts that he could actually stick with. He leaned heavily on simple strategies like intermittent fasting, balanced plate meals, and daily accountability. These tools became his foundation for lasting success.But Chris’s transformation didn’t stop with weight loss. Over the last six months, he has consistently trained five days a week, doubling his strength on major lifts and completely reshaping his body.
