SHR # 2533 :: The BluePrint Power Hour - Coach Rob Regish - Viewer and listener questions are answered about training, nutrition, supplementation and more. No questions are off topic or off limits. Come join the fun.

SHR # 2532 :: New Hope for ACL Injuries PLUS GHRP6 to Cure GERD - Dr. Lindsey Lepley, PhD, ATC - Joe Christiano - Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) injuries are one of the most common injuries people sustain. The ACL is one of the key ligaments that help stabilize your knee joint. The ACL connects your thighbone (femur) to your shinbone (tibia). It's most commonly torn during sports that involve sudden stops and changes in direction, but more and more people are suffering injuries to the ACL. A new study shows adding eccentric exercises could improve physical therapy outcomes. PLUS GERD is a common condition in our population. Typical therapies include antacids, proton pump inhibitors and in extreme cases, surgery to tighten the esophageal sphincter. What if using the common peptide GHRP6 actually fixes the problem?

SHR # 2531 :: RLRx: Anabolic Steroid Excess and Myocardial Infarction PLUS Very-Low-Carbohydrate Ketogenic Diet in Acromegaly Treatment - Adam Lamb - Steroid hormones like testosterone and it's synthetic derivatives have been shown in studies to make the heart stronger. Supraphysiologic doses are tied to a variety of morphological changes to the heart that are detrimental. When a heart attack occurs having a really strong heart becomes one of those detriments. PLUS There have been lots of discussions about how the strict high fat low protein-carb keto diet the hormones that help muscle to grow. While this study is on a type of hormonal dysregulation – Agromegaly – it points a fine point on how growth hormone and IGF-1 are modulated by the diet and what that may mean if you are trying to increase both tissue turnover and protein synthesis.

SHR # 2530 :: Career Paths in Troubled Times – A Story Of Movers and Shakers - August Cohen - My entire life I've heard stories of people who made great moves during troubled times. What did they know? How did they navigate the challenges differently while everyone else struggled ad worried? Unemployment is at a historic level due to COVID-19. Many people are out of work and hopes of returning to their old jobs have been dashed. Are there opportunities in all of this? Should you be considering changing careers? What about staying in your current career path but using these times to springboard further up the ladder? Could this mess actually be a door to your greatest life ever?

SHR # 2529 :: Spending Time in the Garden Linked to Better Health and Wellbeing PLUS Virology 101: Where Do Viruses Go When They're Dormant - Dr. Sian De Bell, PhD - Research conducted by the University of Exeter and the Royal Horticultural Society charity, published in Elsevier's Landscape and Urban Planning, analyzed data from nearly 8,000 people collected by Natural England between 2009 and 2016. The research, conducted with funding from Innovate UK and NIHR, found that people who spend time in the garden are significantly more likely to report general good health, higher psychological wellbeing and greater physical activity levels than those who do not spend time in the garden. Is gardening making them healthier? Or do healthier people seem to do more gardening among other activities? PLUS Listener Pasi Säkkinen from New Zealand puts Carl on the spot to defend his assertion that even if we stayed shut down for years, once previously infected people began to circulate among us, they'd begin to spread the virus again. Is he wrong? Let's see.

SHR # 2528 :: The Piedmontese Breed of Cow and Why It's Superior to Any Other PLUS An New Angle On Fixing Your GERD - Ben Mohl - Joe Finegan - The Piedmont region of Italy fostered a unique breed of cattle out of necessity. Known as triple-purpose cattle, raised principally for draught power for pulling heavy tonnage, but valued also for meat and milk. The goal of the breeding was to produce a cow that was super muscular, super strong, yet delicious and tender to eat. An emphasis on hypertrophic muscle growth characteristic, known as groppa di cavallo or horse rump, first appeared in 1886 in the commune of Guarene d'Alba. Little did they realize they had stumbled upon and perpetuated what we now know in science as myostatin null cattle. Bulls and cows that looked like superior beasts to all other breeds. Double-muscle they were called because they grew to carry double the muscle mass of any other breed. And the beef was far more delicious and tender than any other cattle, a genetic gift we only understand now that we know how myostatin inhibition affects muscle development. Take a journey back to the ancient origins of this little known breed. Learn how you can now enjoy this tender, delicious beef once only available in Italy, now raised here in the USA and delivered right to your door. PLUS Do you suffer from GERD? Regular episodes of heart burn? Do you feel like it takes forever for food to move out of your stomach? Carl may have a solution that will change your life.

SHR # 2527 :: What is The Veech Ketone Ester PLUS A Meteorologist Answers Carl's Question - Part of the entire Keto movement is the use of exogenous ketone supplements. One of the most sought after sources is the ketone ester. And the Veech Ketone Ester seems to be the most promising. PLUS On a previous show Carl suggested that the lock-down has led to a drastic reduction in carbon-dioxide emissions, and that drop is having an affect on our weather. Is he way off?

SHR # 2526 :: The BluePrint Power Hour PLUS What Kills 40,000 Americans A Month And Isn't Named COVID-19 - Coach Rob Regish - Viewer/listener questions are answered about training, nutrition, supplementation and more. Here is a short sampling of questions. PLUS More critical thinking as it relates to the reaction of our government to the current pandemic. And why I don't believe the government when they say all of their actions are about saving lives.

SHR # 2525 :: The Effects of Testosterone on the Physiological Response to Social and Somatic Stressors PLUS Listener Question About Vitamin D - Adam Lamb - Previous studies have shown that high testosterone levels in men decreased stress reactivity. At the same time some studies showed higher testosterone levels increased stress response. In this study they set out to apply a stress in two conditions. One with the subject alone in a room and one with an observer. The results were very interesting. PLUS Listener Christopher Price asked - what is the safest amount of D3 one can take orally, daily? Can D3 be taken intravenously, and if so, since you bypass the digestive track, does that lessen the chances of harming the kidneys?

SHR # 2524 :: Grumpy Science Guys: If Your Brain Gets Old Before Your Body Does, You are Screwed PLUS GHK-cu Update PLUS The Perils Of Taking Too Much Glycine - Dr. Bob Dennis, PhD – Dr. Mark Tommerdahl, PhD - In today's population we see a lot of evidence that people's brains are breaking well before their bodies wear out. This is not a good thing. We see dementia kicking in at early 40's. We see neurodegeneration like MS and Parkinson's widespread in our population. Autoimmunity is a big contributor as well as exposure to bad actors in our environment. If you ask a person suffering from a degenerative brain disorder what would you give up to halt the progression of your disease they'd say anything and everything. But discovering what's causing the problem requires adding in or removing the things you suspect are contributing to the problem. And that requires precise ongoing brain testing to determine what's working and what's not. Your insurance company isn't going to pay for that even if a lab was willing to let you test multiple times a month. And buying equipment to use at home would cost you hundreds of thousands of dollars. Until now. How's 29.95 for the cost to test your brain in the comfort of your own home, every day if you'd like? With the same accuracy as those hundreds-of-thousands-of dollars lab equipment testing for function, acuity , healing, plasticity and recovery sound? This is a Super Human Radio Exclusive. PLUS Carl discusses his current GHK-cu experiment and what happens when you take too much glycine for too long. It can be scary.
