Iron Sights

In the wake of recent tragic events across the country, violence in schools, shopping malls and public places, I wanted to come to the table with JP and discuss a few things that have really caused and created some frustration both in our community and outside our community.  JP and I have close relationships with members of law enforcement as well as distressed civilians.  Some of the topics discussed in this After Dark episode will be controversial. This stuff may touch a nerve for  both civilians & law enforcement. I would love to hear your feedback after listening to this episode.Drop a comment on YouTube and reach out on Instagram!

We're gonna start this episode by asking you to take a look back in time, back to a time where you attempted to diet or got involved in some type of nutrition plan or program for the very first time. Maybe it was a challenge, maybe it was a bet or competition. It's possible you've never done any of those things before but you know somebody that has.I find it wild how much people are willing to suffer in order to achieve some type of dietary success, which is often in an attempt to find some type of a physical result. I brought in Taylor Noriega and Jeff Chenault today and we're gonna talk about some of those things, but more specifically, we're gonna be talking about how to conquer the first 30 days of any nutrition program.You're going to hear us refer to our Fuel University Program and discuss some of the material that we've pulled out of that program to share with you on the podcast today. Fuel U is a program that we put together for people that maybe want a self-guided approach to finding their own formula for nutritional & dietary success.To learn more about  Fuel U go to rdffuelu.com and you can get 20% off that program by entering the code "FUELU20" at checkout.More Iron Sights Interviews:Triple Feed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VMTc7AE0KaQ&t=384sKayley Gunner: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nfGqHxCv7Vc&t=522sMike Salemi: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jq-Nj6M0EBI&t=335sAdam Schafer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BiyrdWdO1y8&t=8sSal Di Stefano: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JBdKdSjQ0BM&t=4425sJason Khalipa: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YTiq-sID-EMByron Rodgers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XrtEyuVNNpwDonnie Oliver: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cKY1_TLKHlIChris Cheng: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wr0zSGSTzKM&t=2sTraver Boehm: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_NLdIg3zBc&t=1394sTRAIN WITH US:RDF Online Training: https://www.reddotfitness.net/online-coachingCONNECT WITH US:Website - https://ironsightspodcast.com/Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/ironsightspodcast/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/ironsightspodcast/Twitter - https://twitter.com/ironsightspodLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/ironsightspodcast

In this episode of the Iron Sights podcast, I sat down with Dr. Board Certified Physician Dr. Robert FloydIn this episode of the Iron Sights podcast, I sat down with Dr. Robert Floyd. He's a board certified physician who got tired of being on the wrong end of his patient's healthcare. I wanted to chat with Dr. Floyd because of his passion for educating people on living a healthier, happier, and more vibrant life through root cause medicine and lifestyle and behavior modifications.In his own words, he's frustrated and tired of westernized medicine's approach to putting “Band-Aids” on what he says are “Severed-Limbs''. He's taken an atypical path to finally arriving in his current practice - after talking through that journey for a few minutes, we cut into some key principles to taking personal responsibility for obtaining and maintaining optimal health.We cover key topics: statistics, realities, and the solutions to what could be the biggest enemy to society and our health. You'll hear Dr. Floyd and I talk about what I believe are the six key steps to optimal health. Read more about the 6 Key Steps To Optimal HealthThe guide walks you through what it actually takes to get and stay healthy.  Go to RDF guides.com and download six steps to optimal health for free. Timestamps:00:00 Welcoming Dr. 00:47 How We Got Connected04:02 Becoming A Functional Medicine Dr.12:39 Landing A Job After Medical School20:49 Functional Medicine Protocols27:13 The American Diet40:35 Heal Leaky Gut44:00 Mental Health & Disability48:50 The Premise of Leaky Gut54:44 The Immune Response To Leaky Gut58:24 How To Heal Leaky Gut1:04:20 Is Dairy Bad For You?1:09:39 Identifying The Root Cause1:11:43 Monsanto & Crop Cycles1:13:53 Regenerative Agriculture1:17:53 School Lunches & Nutrition1:20:25 Creating Lasting Change1:27:23 Benefits of Vegetable Juice1:30:51 How To FindMore Iron Sights Interviews:Triple Feed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VMTc7AE0KaQ&t=384sKayley Gunner: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nfGqHxCv7Vc&t=522sMike Salemi: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jq-Nj6M0EBI&t=335sAdam Schafer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BiyrdWdO1y8&t=8sSal Di Stefano: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JBdKdSjQ0BM&t=4425sJason Khalipa: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YTiq-sID-EMByron Rodgers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XrtEyuVNNpwDonnie Oliver: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cKY1_TLKHlIChris Cheng: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wr0zSGSTzKM&t=2sTraver Boehm: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_NLdIg3zBc&t=1394sTRAIN WITH US:RDF Online Training: https://www.reddotfitness.net/online-coachingCONNECT WITH US:Website - https://ironsightspodcast.com/Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/ironsightspodcast/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/ironsightspodcast/Twitter - https://twitter.com/ironsightspodLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/ironsightspodcast

Welcome back to Iron Sights! In this episode, I brought Caleb Disney and Jeff Chenault back into the studio to discuss perceived exertion and the RPE & RIR scales. We begin the episode by talking about the benefits of how using these scales during exercise can be a great way to gauge how hard you should be pushing yourself in the gym. Here's the problem: for novice and intermediate lifters there are OTHER things to focus on with regards to your training that are far more important than fine-tuning intensity. Using RIR & RPE in your programming could be a poor way to leverage intensity for muscle growth and adaptation. After listening to this episode you will understand the why behind RPE & RIR as well as be able to implement intensity the right way through following a strategic program designed for maximal RESULTS specific to your goals.More Iron Sights Interviews:Triple Feed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VMTc7AE0KaQ&t=384sKayley Gunner: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nfGqHxCv7Vc&t=522sMike Salemi: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jq-Nj6M0EBI&t=335sAdam Schafer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BiyrdWdO1y8&t=8sSal Di Stefano: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JBdKdSjQ0BM&t=4425sJason Khalipa: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YTiq-sID-EMByron Rodgers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XrtEyuVNNpwDonnie Oliver: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cKY1_TLKHlIChris Cheng: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wr0zSGSTzKM&t=2sTraver Boehm: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_NLdIg3zBc&t=1394sTRAIN WITH US:RDF Online Training: https://www.reddotfitness.net/online-coachingCONNECT WITH US:Website - https://ironsightspodcast.com/Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/ironsightspodcast/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/ironsightspodcast/Twitter - https://twitter.com/ironsightspodLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/ironsightspodcast

In this After Dark episode, we’re sticking to the tried and true theme of preparedness and handling whatever unknown obstacles life throws your way. This episode goes beyond the physical elements of getting in shape and getting strong. We discuss mental health, community, skill sets and survival - when putting preparation to the test. JP recently returned from a three-day trip into the wilderness with key training partners within the network. He discusses the lessons and takeaways learned from preparing for the unknown when it comes to: vehicles, firearms, food, equipment, apparel & more! This dialogue comes at a time where now more than ever, unknown natural disasters are affecting people we know and love. Texas froze over in 2021, a snow storm in Virginia left people stranded in their vehicles & wildfires burn through the West Coast as we speak. This show will leave you with some new considerations to think about - we hope you take action!Timestamps:00:00 After Dark Intro00:43 Episode Overview04:03 Welcoming JP06:42 JP’s Three Day Training Trip14:05 Considerations For The Unknown21:02 Scott’s Close Encounter23:11 Mindset Living Off The Grid37:34 Setting Up Camp44:00 Impact of Physical & Mental Fitness46:44 The Nutrition Facts58:31 Survival Mindset1:02:39 The Descent1:06:06 Key Takeaways From JP’s Trip1:14:23 Being In NatureTRAIN WITH US:RDF Online Training: https://www.reddotfitness.net/online-coachingMore Iron Sights Interviews:Triple Feed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VMTc7AE0KaQ&t=384sKayley Gunner: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nfGqHxCv7Vc&t=522sMike Salemi: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jq-Nj6M0EBI&t=335sAdam Schafer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BiyrdWdO1y8&t=8sSal Di Stefano: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JBdKdSjQ0BM&t=4425sJason Khalipa: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YTiq-sID-EMByron Rodgers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XrtEyuVNNpwDonnie Oliver: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cKY1_TLKHlIChris Cheng: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wr0zSGSTzKM&t=2sTraver Boehm: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_NLdIg3zBc&t=1394sCONNECT WITH US:Website - https://ironsightspodcast.com/Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/ironsightspodcast/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/ironsightspodcast/Twitter - https://twitter.com/ironsightspodLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/ironsightspodcast
