The B.rad Podcast

In this episode, Dr. Ted Naiman simplifies all of your health and weight loss questions by offering a unique and powerful message that will help you drop excess body fat and optimize both your diet and exercise program.Dr. Ted talks about his book, The P:E Diet, which suggests a simple solution for weight loss by cutting to the chase: look at the protein to energy ratio in your diet. As Dr. Ted reveals in this show, this is the secret to optimizing caloric intake, dropping excess body fat, and building and maintaining lean muscle mass. It’s quite simple: it’s all about satiety per calorie.Dr. Ted has also gained invaluable experience through his work as a family practice physician, because he understands that the average person needs simple but effective (and easy to follow) solutions for weight loss and health goals: “My passion is really making diet and exercise as accessible to my patients as possible.” Enjoy learning all about the P:E Diet, and if you want to follow Dr. Ted on Instagram, click here!TIMESTAMPS:The protein to energy ratio is the secret to optimizing your caloric intake and dropping excess body fat. [01:32]Humans, just like all animals, have a protein leverage phenomenon that we are mostly unaware of. [06:17]The obesity epidemic has two parts to it: Protein dilution and the addictiveness of the high energy density carbs and fats together. [09:10]You can either choose to exercise less and weigh a lot more, or weigh way less and exercise a lot more. [11:17]It is almost impossible to eat too much protein. The real secret is satiety per calorie. [14:26]How does a smoothie from Jamba Juice of 400 calories differ from a 400-calorie smoothie you make at home with high protein ingredients? [23:14]There’s a time factor that can make you hungrier unless you have some protein with glucose. [26:14]You want your carbs at the very end of the meal. Protein is the center of the diet.  [28:10]Pair your carb intake with high intensity workouts. Be careful how you shave down the carbs. [30:19]Since the dawn of agriculture, we’ve been fattening up animals so the protein percentage is lower. [38:22]What is the simple minimalist exercise strategy? [41:59]If you are in good shape, fairly active but you want to take off some pounds, what is the best way to go? Focus on protein.

Today we’re talking about the very relevant and important topic of boosting testosterone in the face of all the obstacles and toxins modern life poses.Research has revealed that the average testosterone level of today’s male has been dropping at a steady rate of around one percent per year from generations past, and in this show, you’ll find out what the cause of this is, and more importantly, how you can avoid it. I discuss the effect all that artificial light and digital stimulation (especially after dark) has on our bodies and hormone levels, as well as what causes certain men to develop an excess of breast tissue.Even though it seems like the average, modern male is turning into a flabby, floppy Mr. Softie, you do not need to go down this path, even though it is a slippery slope. From sleep to exercise to relationship conflicts, every part of our life affects our health, and this show will give you all the tools you need to boost testosterone naturally.TIMESTAMPS:The average testosterone level of today's male is dropping at a rate of around 1% per year from generations past. [01:52]We are exposed to environmental estrogens by being surrounded by electromagnetics, using mobile devices, and being exposed to plastics. [03:27]Many lifestyle behaviors have an impact on the declining testosterone. [04:11]If you take testosterone through exogenous means like shots or pellets, and then do not make healthy lifestyle changes, you’re not going to get results that you want. [07:30]Optimizing healthy lifestyle practices is the best way to promote male hormones and minimize risk factors that surround us. Sleep is number one. [11:05]We have to optimize our evening sleep habits, and that starts with a mellow, dark, quiet, calm, relaxing evening. Plan your downtime to lower stress. [13:20]Number two is junk food. Get rid of processed foods and look for the most nutrient dense foods. [16:32]Relationship conflict, anger, resentment, arguing, and nitpicking are huge testosterone killers. [21:59]Doing the wrong kind of exercise is a testosterone depleting situation. Have some extensive low- level movement every day. A work block of 30 minutes is plenty.

Today we’re talking about dating and the true secret to romantic success with a real expert, Connell Barrett, author of the book Dating Sucks, But You Don’t.This show offers a ton of unique and interesting insights (even if you’re not single and on the dating scene) that will help you build confidence and open your eyes to the ways we can all improve our interactions with people.A long time prominent golf writer turned dating coach, Connell used to be shy and lonely, and totally dateless. Living in the friendzone. But then he finally found a woman who liked him, and they got married.She dumped him nine weeks later. And Connell knew it was time for change. He went on a five-year long globe-trotting quest to understand the art of male-female connection, and now, he can fix any dating problem (perhaps because he’s already had every dating problem?!). During this show, Connell talks about his book, Dating Sucks But You Don’t, the essential guide for men looking for love, and shares the true secret to romantic success.You’ll learn about why looks just don’t matter (Connell says that good looks are like jacuzzis: “nice to have but way overrated”) and this also goes for other myths about attracting a great girlfriend, like height, money, or a 6-pack. Connell talks about why consent is sexy, and then gives some helpful tips for anyone navigating looking for love in the time of #MeToo (he also points out that for men with integrity and good intentions, dating today is easier than you might think.) We also have a great discussion on how to handle anxiety when meeting people in real life in the time of internet dating, and Connell shares his foolproof method for overcoming “approach anxiety.” Connell has appeared on Access Hollywood and the Today show, and has been published in Maxim, Cosmopolitan, Oprah Magazine, and Playboy. He’s also the official dating coach for The League — an exclusive dating app for high-achieving singles — and an advisor for AskMen and EliteDaily. Connect with him on Instagram here.TIMESTAMPS:Dating problems occur at some time for all of us.  This dating coach brings some interesting insights. [01:34]Getting out of the “friend zone” can be a struggle.  [05:06]    You cannot fake or force the chemistry between two people.  [12:16]Radical authenticity is showing the real you and showing how you are feeling. [17:40]If you are traumatized from your previous relationship breakup, you need to do some work on yourself before you start dating. [22:12]Rather than focusing on her attractiveness, think more about talking, being open. [28:55]When Connell is coaching, he takes the client out for on-site training. [30:25]Connell talks about his real-life journey from a broken marriage to dating coach. [33:44]We have to embrace rejection.  It isn’t as bad as we think it is. Just do not reject yourself. [36:23]What can women do to up their game? [37:56]Women are attracted to guys who have confidence. [42:24]Golfing and dating overlap. If you don’t have confidence you can rely on courage. [44:00] Why is approaching women so hard? Learn if she rejects you, you are still a man.     [48:07]The pandemic affected the singles scene. On-line dating is okay, but we are meant to interact in person. [54:09]    How does a person know they are just settling? Have an abundance to choose from. [57:07]Our current generation approaches this dating/marriage situation differently than our parents’. [01:00:49]Your online dating profile should be very authentic.

It’s time for another Q&A!Today we’re talking about the Carnivore Scores food ranking chart and the tradeoff between nutrition and plant reactivity, as well as environmental hormesis (like going from cold temperatures to hot) vs plant hormesis. You’ll learn why we don’t need polyphenols and oxalates, and I also touch on the usefulness of doing a 30-day carnivore experiment and the adding back less offensive plant foods (click here for the Carnivore Scores chart to see which plant foods are included on the list). I also talk about the importance of doing “rebound workouts” and why recovery should be the centerpiece of one’s training program. We wrap up with a discussion about inspiring your family to improve their sleep habits by actually walking your talk and setting the example for them.TIMESTAMPS:Brad talks about Usain Bolt as an example of questioning genes vs. training, environment, etc. in creating the talent of a fine athlete. [01:38]Forward thinking leaders in fitness advocate a kinder, gentler approach to training. [04:39]Recovery is a major emphasis. Often you are not aware of how tired you are after a workout. [06:02]It is always important to tone everything down. You need to limit your heart rate to 180 minus your age. Get a heart monitor if you are doing extreme workouts. [10:06]Having extreme fitness goals could be at the expense of your health and longevity. [17:25]Casey asks why the carnivore diet on Brad’s published chart includes nuts and chocolate which are oxalates. [19:30]It is a good idea to try the carnivore diet for 30 days and see what you can learn about your body. You then gradually add back the foods that you want. [30:12]Stanley Johnson is asking about sleep routines for his family. Sleep needs actually vary according to the time of year.

Sean McCormick is the host of the Optimal Performance podcast, and he is all about optimal performance in many different areas of life. This is a wide-ranging show that delivers a ton of precise and actionable tips, with particular focus on overcoming self-limiting beliefs. Sean is a life coach and cutting-edge biohacker from the Seattle area who blends a variety of different expert strategies to help clients be the best they can be. This interview will seem like a real live free coaching session where you get to ask yourself some hard questions about what’s in the way of optimal performance and happiness. One of my biggest challenges is the distraction presented by the email inbox. We tackle that particular issue head on at one point in the show! You’ll also learn what Sean’s eight categories are for evaluating where you’re at in life, and four steps of the STOP method. TIMESTAMPS:Good coaches are masters at getting the best out of you through penetrating questions and challenging you. [02:09]There are eight categories that evaluate how things are going in your life. [05:10]Sean talks about how his podcast is unique. Conversation is what moves the needle. [06:57]There is so much information bombarding us every day, it is easy to get overloaded. [19:04]It takes a lot of courage to slow down. [21:29]Coaching is in four different categories: personal development, biohacking, professional development, and spiritual development. [26:23]One can assess their life by looking at categories that are health, family, money, your environment, spiritual development, romance and intimacy, life purpose, and fun and recreation. [31:00]Changing “I need to….” or “I should…” to “It’s important that I ……” makes a difference. [32:31]Ninety-seven percent of all of our decisions throughout the day are directed by the subconscious mind. [36:09]How do we get rid of negative emotions like anger? There are four steps to the STOP method. [40:55]If the STOP method steps are not followed, we need to look deeper to find out where the resistance is. [54:15]Learning to “email batch” is a good way to be organized rather than overwhelmed. [58:40]Useful biohacking tools include blue blocking eyewear and X3 bar. LED lighting is flickering even though only our brain perceives it. [01:04:04]The X3 bar is a game changer. And turn off your Wifi when you go to sleep at night. [01:08:56]Blood restriction restricts the flow of blood to your limbs and makes your body work harder.

B.rad podcast listener Q&A returns with a splash with some great topics to cover.We start with a success story from longtime listener Jon tackling the Grand Canyon rim-to-rim-to-rim crossing (46 miles, 11k climbing), emphasizing the importance of preparation and enjoying the journey, instead of focusing on the result and bagging bucket list social media photo opps (this can end poorly, like on Mt Everest or in Chinese ultramarathon events). Next we talk about how naps affect circadian rhythm, and how to easily monitor your sleep health by tracking the simple concept of sleep debt (listen to my show with Jeff Kahn for details). Then I dive into a lengthy discussion about the tradeoff between peak athletic performance and longevity, teed up by a question about Robb Wolf’s comment: “If you want to live longer, lift more weights and eat more protein.” It’s interesting to consider how things like low-carb/ketogenic eating, fasting, high intensity workouts, and being in the higher age groups are all stress factors that must be balanced carefully. Thanks for listening and keep the great questions coming!TIMESTAMPS:Many people try amazing athletic feats but find they aren’t as prepared as they thought they were. Preparing is the secret. [01:10]People go to the limit and some don’t survive. [10:45]Between midnight and 3:00 AM the most restorative process takes place. [12:08]How does taking a nap affect your circadian rhythm? [13:55]Sleep debt accumulates over time and naps can help “pay off that debt.” [19:53]Dan asks how does Robb Wolf’s statement about eating more protein jive with the book, Two Meals a Day? We cannot burn exercise calories to mitigate dietary transgressions. [23:54]Our protein needs increase as we age because we are less efficient at synthesizing those amino acids. [30:56]Could it be that we have an extremely personal distinction when we're trying to strategize our caloric intake and our macro nutrient intake?

I welcome Bob Wheeler, financial expert and motivator, book author, and founder of The Money Nerve, to the show.Bob is quite a unique individual as he is also both a CPA and stand up comedian! His passion and area of expertise lies in helping people conquer their shame surrounding money, and showing us how we can all avoid making poor financial decisions by teaching us how emotions can dictate our choices. His greatest wish is to simply share this knowledge with people. Bob poses many thought-provoking questions throughout this show that will help you reevaluate your perspective on money and where it goes, asking great questions like: “Are the things you’re doing financially in concert with your life purpose?” With thirty years of helping clients under his belt, Bob has distilled a concoction of warmth, humor, information, motivation and budgeting directives that he offers to anyone with financial concerns. And as a man of true integrity with infectious energy, Bob’s crusade for personal growth has cross-pollinated with his accounting practice to create a new approach to personal finances. Combining finances with behaviors, Bob explores his personal concept of creating a healthy relationship with money in his recent book, The Money Nerve. Enjoy having some laughs with Bob and learning how to effectively improve your relationship with money, and you can find his website here.TIMESTAMPS:Our emotions can dictate our financial patterns. [01:26]Are you self-sabotaging yourself regarding your relationship with money? [08:11]We can get many different messages about money from our parents. [11:03]Bob tells his journey with self-sabotage. [12:54]Some people feel undeserving and calibrate their financial situation with their sense of their personal value. [15:18]Money is used for manipulation. Bob tells how to put it in perspective. [17:41]How does one draw the line between enjoying the fruits of your labor and being a rich guy trying to impress everybody? [21:36]Don’t get in to comparing. There is no need to add more stuff that you really don’t need. [25:15]There are many messages out there encouraging us to keep up with others and we build up credit card debt. [26:58]Do I want it or do I really need it? Journaling really helps to clarify if your spending is in concert with your life purpose. [29:45]Can one visualize the life they want? Most of us are very conflicted about our wants. [35:35]The book, The Money Nerve, describes how we have a visceral reaction when we have money problems. It’s physical. He suggests solutions to the money problems. [40:56]Some steps people can take to get on the right track financially to reduce the stigma of shame are to read, talk, and learn about money. Be aware of what your beliefs are. [49:45]Journaling is especially useful so you can see your situation. If you are going to go big, make sure you understand it and be sure of it.  [54:51]Sunk cost bias is when we continue going down because you’ve already spent money on it.

What a treat it is to welcome Brian MacKenzie back to the show!Brian first appeared on the podcast back in 2018, and that episode remains to this day one of the most downloaded ever! Brian can always be counted on to share tons of interesting, cutting edge insights, and also he brings a philosophical perspective to this wide-ranging and reflective conversation about athletic training, the many facets to human performance, our obsession with “capacity,” and why his main area of interest has become breathwork.In this episode, Brian talks about his background and how he became interested in alternative approaches to endurance training, and shares fascinating scientific facts about breathing and the role our breathing technique plays in our health. We then discuss why and how breathwork can contribute to your athletic performance and fitness goals, as well as the benefits of minimizing breathing to improve your C02 tolerance.Anyone with an interest in fitness, athletic training, and human performance can greatly benefit from this show and an opportunity to learn about the integral role breathwork plays in our health. Don’t forget to check out Shift Adapt, Brian’s website! TIMESTAMPS:Brian MacKenzie brings his insights on athletic training with a focus on breathing. [01:27]In order to make your workouts less stressful, improve your tolerance to carbon dioxide, not through breathing in more oxygen. [03:34]The human performance experience has been vastly misunderstood. [08:55]Comfort is the difference between how things are and how you want them to be. [09:38]Endurance athletes need to look at their sport with a more holistic approach. [11:00]The foundation of all exercise and athletic endeavors is breath practice. [14:23]Calorie burning as related to exercise has been misunderstood. [17:12]When you are mouth breathing you offload carbon dioxide which you need. [24:02]What is actually happening to CO2 when the mouth breather changes to nose breathing? [26:41]Many professional athletes struggle with identity because once the game is over, they don’t know who they are. [29:36]Your normal breathing should be short and small through the nose. [36:55]You can be a world class athlete and be CO2 intolerant and be aerobically inefficient at low levels. [43:46]On a day-to-day basis we can train ourselves in proper nose breathing techniques with some of the practices on Shift Adapt.com. [46:42]The major benefit is that the workout itself is going to be less stressful if you minimize your breathing. [51:47]It takes time to adapt to nasal breathing but you can actually increase your performance across the board. [55:45]Is it cheating to use the Breathe Right Nasal strips?

Today we’re talking about the compelling science behind breathing more minimally, the benefits of nasal breathing, and how to improve CO2 tolerance. One common flawed notion is that we want to breathe in as much oxygen as possible, in order for our bodies to take in as much oxygen as possible. But, as you’ll learn in today’s show, unless you are in the hospital with a serious disease or condition, we all have plenty of oxygen in our bloodstream. You’ll also learn why having a low CO2 tolerance indicates that your body is doing a poor job of delivering oxygen to the working muscles that need it. The starting point of nasal parasympathetic breathing is to breathe as minimally as possible, through your nose only at all times, day and night for the rest of your life, except when you desperately need more air during intense exercise. Simple as that! One of the major inspirations for this show comes from my recent interest in The Oxygen Advantage: The Simple, Scientifically Proven Breathing Techniques for a Healthier, Slimmer, Faster, and Fitter You by Patrick McKeown, and in this episode, I’m sharing my top takeaways from his book, such as that the blood already has enough oxygen, taking bigger breaths will do little to increase oxygen in the blood, and oxygen release (from blood to tissues and organs) depends on carbon dioxide levels. Another major takeaway is that breathing more lightly increases carbon dioxide levels in the blood – and this actually improves oxygenation.I also talk about the simplest way to benefit from this book, which is to continually nasal breathe, wear tape over the mouth, both at night and during light aerobic training (to ensure nasal breathing), and routinely perform breath hold exercises (after an exhalation) for progressively longer times during walking or light activity. To learn more about nasal breathing, breath hold exercises, and how to simulate high-altitude training, check out The Oxygen Advantage here.TIMESTAMPS:We often overlook the importance of proper breathing. Breathe minimally through the nose. [01:26]The more carbon dioxide we can tolerate, the better oxygen is delivered to the working muscles in the body. [04:34]We have plenty of oxygen already. [06:53]Breathing more lightly increases carbon dioxide levels in the blood, improving your oxygenation potential. [10:55]Breathe through your nose only. Take the BOLT test. [12:19]Even gentle snoring is indicative of mouth breathing. Tape your mouth closed to train yourself. [18:50]Generally, one nostril dominates the other throughout the day. Be aware of your sleep position.

Get ready for a fascinating show all about the hot topic of breathwork!Robbie Bent, founder of the organization Inward Breathwork, is on the cutting edge all the way. Inward Breathwork is the world’s first on-demand breathwork platform, and their classes are great for managing stress, improving peak performance, and managing emotions, and even accessing altered states of consciousness through advanced techniques. The Inward Breathwork mission is to make breathwork and other cutting edge health practices fun and accessible to more than just extreme biohackers. His mission is all about community, as he is building innovative centers to experience sauna, cold exposure and breathwork in a community setting — a fabulous alternative to hanging out in bars and clubs! Robbie’s programming integrates different attributes like acoustic sound instruments, guided visualizations and hypnosis along with breathing, hot and cold exposure.Listen as Robbie describes the science of breathing in easy to understand terms and provides specific practical tips for how to implement some cool breathing strategies right away. Robbie also provides some personal details about his rise and fall story and risk taking personality that has helped him adopt an evolved perspective about material success and stay grounded in helping others as a leader. You will learn about his wild and exciting Inward Retreats, where he uses breathwork, cold exposure, and social connection to help people become more vulnerable, less stressed, and more connected.TIMESTAMPS:Learning the proper way to breathe helps you to de-stress and perform better. [01:30]Robbie tells of his journey from a success-driven finance guy into the progressive healthy scene. [05:58]    You can have a drive for success but your success comes from the heart and in helping others. [08:36]The busiest people are able to meditate, breathe deeper.  There are many apps, podcasts, books, and classes that can help. [14:25]There is hyperventilation, which is really great for increasing alertness but can sometimes prevent oxygen from getting to the organs. With relaxed breathing, the oxygen gets into the organs. [16:14]When we're taking in excess oxygen through aggressive hyperventilation, what's happening to the gas exchange in the body. Robbie describes breathing exercises to increase CO2 levels. [20:15]When the diaphragm contracts as a beginner, could that be also described as when you feel like a pretty significant urge to breathe? [24:09]Twenty seconds is a minimum baseline. [25:46]Breathe through the nose slowly. The more you breathe into the lower lungs, the better gas exchange, [28:01]The nose acts like a humidifier.  It warms the air. It takes out the pathogens.  [30:07]When we are in a stressful situation, as we are in modern day life dealing with technology, we tend to breathe through the mouth. [35:16]We don’t chew our food enough and that causes crooked teeth and jaws to be malformed and the nasal cavity doesn’t have as much room.  [36:01]Respiration rate goes up when you engage in poor health practice. [40:16]Oxygen Advantage is based on the Buteyko breathing therapy. It comes down to simple exercises, based in particular on reduced breathing through the nose. [41:42]The higher your heart rate, variability, the tighter your nervous system, the better your body responds to stress. [44:25]Busy people can find ways to practice breathing when doing other things like cooking or walking. [47:02]What is resonant breathing? [48:13]Getting into the parasympathetic system is good to use before eating or before going to sleep. Breath holds long, slow exhales will get you there. [52:10]Where does cold exposure fit into this? [54:29]Robbie hosts some inward retreats and breathing exercise apps with the goal of having fun. [59:05]        You can learn to deal with life’s stresses by filtering the use of modern technology and spending time in hot or cold environments.
