In an industry where coaches and self-titled experts eject facts, recycle protocols, and base their competency on questionable sources… I was incredibly fortunate to connect with someone whose expertise is paralleled by few: Performance Consultant, Eoin Lacey. He’s best known for creating the largest chain of Personal Training and Nutrition Centers in Ireland - the Irish Strength Institute - together with colleagues, John Connor and Stephen Ward.  Eoin dissects the solutions for visceral fat, metabolic flexibility, hormone optimization, gut health, and MUCH more… You'll learn: How to Use a Continuous Glucose Monitor for Metabolic Flexibility The WARNING Signs of Inflammation and Digestive Dysfunction Why Visceral Fat Accumulates, and the Solution to Lose it Three Simple Rules to Construct an Effective Performance Diet The BIG Levers for Glucose Control, Gut Health, and Cardiac Function The guide for today's episode is PACKED with actionable advice.  Pick it up at muscleintelligence.com/learn.

In today’s interview, Eoin takes a deep dive into gut health, and gives the audience an insight into some of his favorite supplements to support digestion. Unsurprisingly, Eoin’s standard for the quality of his supplements are as high as mine. He uses the same BiOptimizers’ enzymes and HCl products that I use and recommend consistently to clients. BiOptimizers’ proteolytic enzymes, MassZymes, their powerful probiotic P3OM formula, and gastric support HCl breakthrough product are some of my top recommendations for anyone who understands the importance of optimal digestion. See the full suite of BiOptimizers products here and get 10% off!

While you might be training hard in the gym for 60 to 90 minutes a day, getting your cardio in, and doing regular mobility work… Chances are, you’re missing a MAJOR opportunity to improve your health. Because what most people don’t consider is what to do with the remaining 23 hours of your day. The truth is that most people’s homes, offices, and commutes aren’t set up to promote movement - quite the opposite actually - so it’s often more challenging to break out of the confines of modern conveniences. I recently sat down with Kelly and Juliet Starrett, co-founders of the renowned mobility coaching platform, The Ready State, to discuss the interventions that allow you to (literally) move more freely throughout life, make the most of your time with your family, AND take your performance to the next level.  Kelly, a doctor of Physical Therapy, has decades of experience coaching Olympic gold medalists and pro athletes, and consulting for all four branches of the military. Juliet has a background as a pro white-water rafter, winning multiple world championship and national titles; she also had a successful career as an attorney. Juliet and Kelly together founded San Francisco Crossfit - one of the most well-known gyms in America, and previously co-authored the WSJ Bestseller “Deskbound.” If you’re looking to optimize those 22 hours for longevity and performance, today's episode is one you won't want to miss! You'll learn: The #1 Exercise Correlated with Body Composition How to Build More Movement into Your Life (in Less than 15 Minutes a Day!) An Under-Utilized Performance Lever that ALSO Promotes Longevity The Fitness Industry’s Shortcomings… and the Solution A Simple Test you can Perform Right NOW to see How Well You’re Moving More about the Starretts and their new book, "Built to Move:" "Built to Move" - book, challenge, etc. https://thereadystate.com https://instagram.com/thereadystate Support our sponsors: BiOptimizers makes the absolute highest quality supplements.  MassZymes, MagBreakthrough, and P3OM are ALL supplements that I use on a regular basis.  Get 10% off MagBreakthrough at magbreakthrough.com/muscle.

Every day that you're alive, the walls are closing in around you. Your ability to do the things you used to do starts to fall away, and if you're not intentional about it, you will wake up one day looking and feeling in a way that makes you wonder how you got there. Living a powerful life grounded in health and energy is well within your grasp. But it's slipping away every day that you neglect to take diligent, disciplined, and directed action on high-priority tasks. I recently created a 30-day testosterone optimization protocol for men - to solve this problem, and to help men prioritize and take appropriate action, when it comes to maintaining masculine vitality. While I’m finalizing the nuances of this protocol (opt in for our Muscle Intelligence guides, to make sure you get the announcement!), I’ve put together this episode for you on the 9 BIG things draining your testosterone. For each of the nine, I outline solutions and interventions that will help you optimize your hormones. Also included in today’s episode is a Q&A section where I debunk supplementation for boosting T, the positives and negatives of gels, pellets, and injections… and MUCH more.

When it comes to the high-performers I work with, we optimize for quite a few factors… Nutrition, training, lifestyle, mindset. But there’s a small percentage of people whose results are just okay - They’ve adhered to the plan, but something needs more attention. So, our team does this ONE test and we’re able to see the greater picture. 10 times out of 10, when someone can’t get the results they’re after, we know exactly where to look. And that’s why I sought out today’s guest expert, Dr. William Davis, a cardiologist and NYT bestselling author of the Wheat Belly book series, and his recent book, Super Gut.  Today’s interview with Dr. Davis takes a deep dive into the surprising root of almost ALL modern chronic disease, the MOST beneficial foods to add to your diet, and how to assess your probiotic needs based on your medical history. Amidst the plethora of emerging (and often conflicting) information on gut microbiome health, today’s episode with Dr. Davis reveals the key high-impact habits that EVERYONE can utilize, when it comes to digestion.

Most men my age had similar upbringings: "Suck it up. Be tough. Anger is bad. Aggression? Even worse."
