The B.rad Podcast

In part two, I share some practical and actionable tips that we can all apply to our lives as we strive to find that sweet spot between pursuing peak performance goals and making informed decisions with longevity in mind. We’ll be talking about how to take a big picture approach to health, why you can’t get fat eating a clean diet, when your body actually needs you to increase your protein intake, and what happens to your ability to synthesize protein as you age. We also talk about the link between your ability to tan and your vitamin D levels, why age is not an excuse for sitting back and being just a spectator in your life, and why maintaining muscle mass helps maintain healthy organ function.Listen to part 1 of this two-part show here.TIMESTAMPS:Brad talks about the Olympic performances of Qatar's Mutaz Essa Barshim and Italy's Gianmarco Tamberi and the emotion involved in their stories. [02:14]Nutrient-deficient processed foods have all kinds of adverse consequences when you ingest them. [05:42]Fight the battle of our fat, sick, tired society. Eliminate the big three: refined sugars, grains, and industrial seed oils. [09:44]Download and print out the Carnivore Scores Chart on BradKearns.com and put it on your refrigerator. [12:32]As we age, we need to pay more attention to the fact that it becomes more common to have proteins break down after workout. Not a good thing. [14:38]Animal organ supplements are a big factor in maintaining health. Brad also talks about his loosening up on his carb restrictions. [16:24]You can’t exercise to lose weight. [20:28]If you are going to supplement, you might want to choose collagen protein. [23:36]As we get older, we have an elevated need for Vitamin D and Omega 3 fatty acids. [26:26]Prioritize sleep with minimal artificial light and digital stimulation after dark and have a cool, no-clutter room. [32:11]We must make a concerted effort to take downtime. [35:26]We have been brainwashed into thinking that steady state cardio is an absolute essential for fitness development.  Please reconsider that. [38:52]The secret is to do brief explosive efforts but also not overdo it. [43:04]Micro workouts can enhance your busy day.

Welcome back Dude Spellings! As an authority on all matters related to diet, exercise, biohacking, and pursuing optimal health, Dude brings many valuable insights and expertise to the table during this show, along with the added benefit of being a fellow 50+ year old. We discuss the importance of learning how to progress at a steady and comfortable pace and the many benefits that come from letting go of the ‘no pain, no gain’ mentality that has been drilled into us, and Dude reveals the methods he uses to create a home environment that sets him up for success. We also talk about how not everyone is able to fast in a productive way (and why), and Dude also reveals what made him become a true believer in micro workouts and their effectiveness.TIMESTAMPS:We talk about how to prevent injuries and continue to progress at a steady and patient and comfortable pace for years and years, even as you advance into the higher age groups. [01:28]Is it possible to overdo this micro workout concept to where it's compromising your formal workout preparation or fitness goals? [06:55]Dude did a single leg deadlift to heal the hamstring problem. [10:46]Micro workouts are really effective. They have improved his golf driving distance. [13:22]Unfortunately, we who are in the older age group, are enthusiastic for our exercise, and don’t feel the aches and pains until later. [16:17]People that are starting to get back to training after not being involved, need to be careful about dropping right into a high intensity level training. [19:16]Doing anything you can to avoid injury, it is going to pay off. [22:52]By easing up on the weight that you want to lift, you are able to do them more frequently. [27:33]How does a person figure out how many days or times to have a workout experience, assuming we have the freedom and flexibility to do whatever is optimal? [30:07]Hiking is an extremely good way to stay in shape. [36:22]The more fat you burn during your lifetime, the longer you’ll live. [39:05]If you have a chest freezer, you need to keep it clean and sanitized. Here’s how. [40:21]Dude did the epic achievement of doing the Rim to Rim to Rim of the Grand Canyon on very few calories because he thought it would improve his recovery. [43:58]It’s a big breakthrough to get past the cultural traditions of eating when you are not really hungry. [55:56]If you are doing something that’s highly glycolytic, it is intense. It is burning up a lot of sugar.

What a pleasure it is to welcome health and endurance coach Andre Obradovic back to the podcast! In this show, we will be taking you through a step-by-step process on how to become a healthy, fit endurance athlete, as well as how to become a healthier person just in general—if you want to feel better and also drop some excess body fat, then this is the episode for you! We’ll be touching on how to preserve your health as you pursue fitness goals, the best ways to emphasize aerobic development, and how to excel in endurance sports. We also spend a big chunk of this show focusing on the exciting and emerging topic of nasal breathing, from how this applies to workouts and improving peak performance, to how it can help manage stress and even improve all aspects of health in everyday life. Finally, click here to watch Andre conduct a BOLT test (click here to read my blog post, Breaking Down Breathing, if you don’t know what that is) and hit the exceptional 0:45 duration with ease!TIMESTAMPS:It is important to really examine your body composition no matter if you are an athlete or just someone who wants to be healthier. [01:22]If a person is overweight, they first need to understand why they got to be overweight. [05:40]Many trainers are giving the wrong advice.     One is calories in and calories out! [09:04]    Getting enough sleep is better than overworking at the gym. Learning to train in the MAF method should be the goal. [10:10]Learn to breathe through your nose rather than your mouth. [12:01]The calmer we can be, the better we can burn fat. [17:48]Andre encourages athletes to forget about how many kilometers and what pace they’ve run but rather focus more on how you feel after training. [20:33]Slow down in pursuit of improvement. [23:19]Only eat when you are hungry, not because the clock tells you it’s lunch time. [27:32]    Most people breathe too much and this alters the gases in your blood and reduces oxygen delivery to our organs. [32:01]Tape your mouth closed when you sleep. [41:06]Take a Bolt Test to understand your breathing and how to improve your breathing. [44:04]Think of your breathing as being in five gears. Learn to breathe properly, and your performance will improve. [50:32]Where does the strength element, explosive element fit into the big picture for total and balanced fitness? [57:24]It is important for you to schedule and plan your training goals. There are areas of exercise that are important for you to do even though you might not like to do them.

This two-part show is all about how to strike an optimal balance between peak performance goals and longevity. I talk about the most effective and appropriate adjustments you can make to your fitness routine as you age and the numerous benefits that come from broadening your perspective on training and how this can help you make smarter choices that support healthy aging. I also share some of the lessons I’ve learned throughout my personal journey in endurance sports when it comes to walking that delicate line between passionately pursuing fitness while also being practical enough to set realistic goals.Stay tuned for part 2!TIMESTAMPS:We are going to talk about the balance of your goals of peak performance and longevity. [01:59]Pursue peak performance with passion throughout life. Set age-appropriate goals. [03:45]There is a greater prevalence of devastating consequences of long-term extreme endurance training. [08:31]Where did we get the 26.2 miles goal for the marathon? Where did the Ironman originate? [10:30]Brad’s personal journey in endurance sport began between age 21 and 30. [14:20]After some unexplained injuries, Brad learned to recalibrate his physical condition and fitness goals. [20:02]Brad had emergency medical problems to which he attributes his overly stressful exhaustive training. [27:54]Especially when you are in the 40 plus age group, most fitness programs have workouts that are too long and too difficult for most people to benefit from.

[01:42]The topic of this year’s Brain-a-Thon is change your brain, change your income. [06:36]What is it around weight loss that causes most people to lose weight and then gain it back? [08:18]    When establishing a habit, consistency is more important than intensity, complexity or duration. [12:17]We need to understand how to work with our brain instead of against it. [16:28]Change your thinking, manager emotions, put the right behaviors in place and create the right environment. [21:28]The natural reaction of our brain when we are outside our comfort zone, is resistance. [23:36]We need to acknowledge the subconscious programming from our childhood and ask, is this really serving me?

Today we’re talking about the remaining MOFO Mission Assignments and what makes them such effective and integral tools for testosterone optimization.This episode will illustrate the importance of taking a comprehensive approach towards hormone optimization: you’ll hear about the profound effect relationships have on our hormones and learn interesting research taken from numerous global studies about testosterone. We also talk about how your lifestyle can negate the effects of supplementation and other testosterone-boosting practices, as well as what the presence of visceral fat on the body reveals about your health.  Listen to part 1 of the show here!TIMESTAMPS:Male testosterone level has been declining since the 1980s. [01:35]The visceral fat that collects around the abdominal organs secretes its own chemicals causing inflammation. [04:55]Brad reviews part one of the MOFO Mission: sleep, clean up your diet and toxic relationships, and keep moving. [05:47]If you don’t get up and move frequently, you will lose your ability to focus and concentrate. [13:32]Hit it hard…..include brief explosive high intensity workouts into your fitness regimen.There's a sweet spot for the optimal duration of your sprint efforts. Don’t overwork. [16:14]Assignment number 7 is: take control of your life. Our connectivity to technology is proving to be harmful to the brain. [37:01]Estrogenic compounds are everywhere in plastics and household products. Get rid of plastics that are touching your food. [46:17]Many of the health and beauty products we use at home have chemicals that are not good for your health. Minimize your EMF exposure at night. [51:52]Rest, recovery and restoration. You might want to learn to nap. [54:55]Number 10 of the MOFO assignments is to quit being a dick to your wife or girlfriend. Manage your emotions.

Get ready for a fun and lively conversation about the many benefits of living a barefoot-style lifestyle with Steven Sashen!Steven is the co-founder and CEO of the fantastic minimalist footwear company, Xero Shoes, which he started with wife after discovering the comfort, benefits, and fun that comes with natural movement. In this episode, we focus on the wonderful physical changes that come from getting back to basics and truly honoring the ancestral living approach, head to toe! We talk about the marketing forces that have always played a huge role in shaping the shoe industry and Steven shares some great ideas for integrating more barefoot time into your daily life. He also implores us to ask ourselves one question: Do my feet feel better at the end of the day than they did at the beginning? If they don’t, then it’s time to consider getting a pair of Xero shoes so you can feel the difference for yourself. A Masters All-American sprinter and former All-American gymnast, Steven has spent time working as a stand-up comic and cognitive psychology researcher, and has also taught Tai Chi and Zen Archery. Additionally, Steven is the creator of Scriptware, the industry-standard word processor for film and TV writers. Learn more about Xero Shoes here!TIMESTAMPS:    Living barefoot style is getting back to basics. [01:11]Whatever you put on your feet will change your gait. [04:32]Running barefoot on cement you naturally optimize the impact. [07:38]When reading about studies and research, it is important to look at the context.  Who is sponsoring the study? [09:15]Powerful marketing forces send a message that the ultimate expression of an athlete is to complete an Ironman or marathon. [13:06]Studies show that testing people’s time for a mile turned out to be an excellent predictor of longevity and disease risk. [15:36]Steven got into sprinting and continues into the higher age group. He studies his proper form when running barefoot. [19:51]Steven explains a perfect running form that he has learned from being barefoot. It is hard for some people to even feel where their feet are landing. [25:54]Is there a decrease in the incidence of positive tests on the runners today? [34:23]Take off the padded constrictive heel-elevated shoes and try the barefoot style. [36:56]It’s not about the footwear.  It’s about the form. [39:47]It seems the heavily padded shoes are coming back. Padding does not reduce impact forces.  [46:57]There are many things about shoes that are misunderstood. [52:08]Sometimes the shoe can make your gait change without you even realizing it.  [54:26]The way shoes are marketed influences performance because of expectations. [56:33]When purchasing shoes, it is important to think about how your foot is designed, not just the cushy comfort.

When it comes to effective methods of supporting healthy aging for men, the most important and relevant topic to focus on is how to maintain (and increase) testosterone.As the ultimate performance and anti-aging hormone, testosterone does many wonderful things for your body, including enhancing peak performance (cognitive and physical). In this episode, you’ll learn why we can actually think of testosterone as a “social status hormone” and why your ability to stay calm, cool, and collected (as described by John Gray) is actually indicative of high testosterone levels.We also talk about the wonderful effects testosterone has on focus and motivation (did you know that chess masters actually have higher blood testosterone levels than the opponents they beat?) and the very distressing fact that the average male testosterone level has been declining at a rate of 1% per year since the 1980s. The MOFO mission is simple: to reclaim your manhood and preserve your male essence as you age. However, this process is often way easier said than done—that is, if you don’t have all the right information. That’s where the MOFO Mission assignments come in: to identify the 10 most crucial factors and practices you need to know about in order to easily adapt your habits and lifestyle to suit your body’s needs as it ages.Stay tuned to hear the last 5 assignments in an upcoming episode, and to learn more about the MOFO Mission and the life-changing supplement at the center of it, go to Bradkearns.com/MOFO.TIMESTAMPS:This podcast is focusing on the performance goals of men as they age. [01:24]Testosterone is a social status hormone. It is not an aggression hormone. [02:46]Alarming studies from around the world find the average male testosterone level is declining at a rate of 1% per year. [05:06]Taking supplements for testosterone replacement therapy needs to be accompanied with a healthy lifestyle. [09:44]Extra belly fat is considered another distinct organ in the body.

Get ready for an exciting, fun, and informative show with Dr. Mark Cucuzzella!Dr. Marks returns to the podcast for an educational conversation about his incredible work practicing family medicine, how he has overhauled the dietary practices in the hospital he works at, and much more. An accomplished marathon runner, Dr. Mark owns a unique and innovative running store to promote and share his enthusiasm for the barefoot movement and minimalist footwear. This show blends important medical recommendations with helpful information like how to assess and minimize heart disease risk factors, and you’ll learn interesting facts, like why the triglyceride to HDL ratio on your blood test is the important marker for heart disease risk factors, as well as useful info about EKG stress tests and coronary calcium score tests, and how to generally live a healthy, balanced lifestyle!TIMESTAMPS:This podcast will be filled with recommendations and information about how to assess and minimize your heart disease risk factors. [01:27]It’s good to keep a competitive edge. Running is good mental therapy. [05:40]Mark talks about his medical history during his running experiences. [07:00]What happens when we hit “the wall?” The Central Governor will not let you die. [14:05]The key is to figure out how to turn it on and off. [18:30]It is important to get more than an EKG to predict heart health. You need the coronary calcium score. [21:12]A good measurement for your body is two times your waist should be less than your height. [29:49]It is still taking the medical community too long to catch up with this information. [33:21]If a person is fit and eats healthy, how does a high calcium score come in? [42:25]Your competitive intensity and your drive can all serve to harm you if it gets out of hand. [49:36]Pre-diabetes can be making too little insulin sometimes. [51:55]All people need to look at their individual body to see what diet is best.  Is there a strategic inclusion of carbs recommended? [56:48]The barefoot minimalist shoe lifestyle is a big part of Dr. Mark’s life right now. [01:02:04]NOTES:Where did the term “Type A” originate?Coined in the late 1950s, the term "Type A" originated when cardiologist Meyer Friedman observed a relationship between incidences of heart disease and personality type -- namely, that those most likely to suffer a cardiac event also tended to have, in his estimation, more driven, impatient, high-stress personalities.LINKS:Dr. Mark’s Desk (Dr. Mark’s website)Two Rivers TreadsCoronary Artery Calcium scoreRun for Your Life bookJoin Brad for more fun on: Instagram: @bradkearns1Facebook: @bradkearnsjumphighTwitter: @bradleykearnsYouTube: @BradKearnsWe appreciate all feedback, and questions for Q&A shows, emailed to getoveryourselfpodcast@gmail.com.

What a fantastic opportunity to catch up with perhaps the world’s leading anti-sugar crusader, Dr. Robert Lustig. A pediatric endocrinologist and professor emeritus at UC San Francisco, Dr. Lustig is also the bestselling author of groundbreaking books like Fat Chance, The Hacking Of The American Mind, and the 2021 release titled, Metabolical. This man is fighting a valiant and high stakes battle against the mighty opponents of industrialized food, tainted science, and poor government regulation. What’s refreshing about Dr. Lustig is that he does not have an angle in the game—he is simply reporting the facts and phenomenons that have led us down the disastrous path to becoming the fattest, sickest developed nation in the history of the planet. Dr. Lustig also offers compelling solutions, and it starts with taking responsibility for your own health, voting with your pocketbook (because there is always going to be more money than votes, so the money always wins). It also may be important to consider this processed food problem with the seriousness and urgency as climate change, for example. We also talk about how to choose foods that will protect your liver and nourish your gut, as Dr. Lustig has a gift for simplifying the often frustrating challenge of eating food that helps protect against disease while also maintaining a healthy body weight. There’s also some fascinating scientific info featured in this episode, as we talk about the importance of optimizing our leptin signaling and how leptin dysregulation affects our appetite and weight. Enjoy this episode with the great Dr. Lustig and don’t forget to check out the B.rad Breather episode about his book, The Hacking Of The American Mind. TIMESTAMPS:Dr. Lustig’s bottom line is that processed food is killing us. [01:27]Leptin is the preeminent satiety, fat storage and reproductive hormone. [03:40]When Dr. Lustig went to medical school, what we now know about nutrition, was not taught. [06:02]Some of Dr. Lustig first research was with normal weight kids who got obese after treatment for a tumor. [09:32]Leptin was discovered in 1994 and found to be very involved in how our brain acknowledges hunger. [11:39]The kids in the study became more active and lost weight when they lowered their insulin. [13:43]Can we blame the profit seeking enterprises instead of the victim? The cause is high insulin. [17:31]How do we get high insulin? The modern Western diet introduced high fructose corn syrup in the 70s. [19:06]Obesity is biochemical rather than behavioral. [22:16]Healthy as a definition consists of six words: protect the liver. Feed the gut. [28:06]When you take in a lot of sugar, you are flooding the liver with fructose. [31:30]The gut needs fiber. [34:16]It takes about 20 minutes for the message to get from your intestine to the brain to say, “I’m satiated.” That’s why we say wait 20 minutes before your second helping. [37:43]Transcending the diet wars, the basic premise is to eat real food. [40:38]There is a bit of a problem with keto. Only the truly committed can manage a ketogenic diet for any length of time. There is also a problem with veganism. A vegan diet should be unprocessed vegan. [42:44]Depending on your biochemistry, you can find the right diet. Unify the force against processed foods is the starting point. [45:28]The industrial seed oils have Omega 6 and are pro-inflammatory and that drives insulin resistance. We also need Omega 3. [48:11]Is sugar food? What is the definition of food? Sugar inhibits normal growth. [51:41]There are eight sub-cellular pathologies that drive all chronic disease. [59:00]If we figure out the diet thing, we can potentially be playing tennis at age 110. How can we escape the clutches of the addiction to the wrong food?
