The Gabby Reece Show

My guests today are gold medal beach volleyball champion Kent Steffes and beach volleyball player and author Travis Mewhirter. I don't care if you have an interest in beach volleyball, if you want to know what a winner's mindset is, then this is a conversation for you. Kent's unique approach to reaching goals, be it sport or business, is worth your time. His deep philosophical approach to executing a strategy is an example of a 1% person of the 1%. He readily admits there is a cost for winning and shares how he navigated that or re-framed it during his career. Kent and Travis's new book KINGS OF SUMMER, a history of men's beach volleyball, is out now. I just wish I knew Kent better 35 years ago to learn just the three things all the great volleyball players do.What did Kent do after he won the gold at 27? Headed to Stanford business school and did a complete pivot at 30. If you want to listen to someone who approaches things in a way most of us don't, tune in.

We also talk about what practices Gabby has put into place since this discussion.Questions hit: How much protein do I need? Why is 1 gram per ideal body weight the recommendation? Why 30-55 grams of protein per meal?  What are the important things to remember about your first and last meal of the day?  Taking protein into consideration, how do I now think about fats, carbs, and cholesterol? Are supplemental BCAAs a waste of money? Leucine? Why is this one picked out of the crowd? What is it doing for me? Where can I get it?  mTOR? Why is it important? Why it has a bad wrap?

In this conversation with Dr. Gabrielle Lyon, the creator of Muscle Centric Medicine and a board-certified family medicine physician, she emphasizes the pivotal role of muscle health for longevity. She argues that as we age, prioritizing protein intake is vital for maintaining muscle mass and preventing chronic diseases. Lyon challenges traditional dietary guidelines, advocating for a more protein-focused approach, especially for women undergoing hormonal changes. She also highlights the importance of individual training strategies and the need for personal experimentation to enhance well-being.

My guest today is waterman and big wave rider Laird Hamilton. Some of you may know that Laird is my husband and during a vulnerable time of recovering from a surgery I thought it was a good idea to connect with him around healing from injuries. I think the recovery was a little more challenging than Laird had anticipated and his ability to navigate through these waters can be a helpful guide to all of us. He's done it quite a bit.

Today's Bonus: the highs and lows of building a business with your "better half" ;)Harvard Professor Arthur Brooks recently visited the show and shared his past experience with "success addiction" and just how instrumental his partner was in shaping a healthy career and life around, together. Off that conversation, Gabby jumps into personal experiences about building, shaping and maintaining multiple businesses (XPT, Laird Superfood, and others) with Laird. Questions covered: How did the idea start? How did you develop it? Was someone "in charge" and someone serving? Who took on "big picture" and who did "day to day?" Was one of you a dreamer and one of you a realist?  What hurdles did you face? How did you overcome them? Together, heads down? Someone leading the charge?  How did you then juggle "real life?" So raising kids, maintaining other aspects of your life, etc.?  How does starting and running a business with your partner test, challenge, serve, or hinder your relationship?  Find the full Arthur Brooks Episode @ PJ Nestler Podcast EpisodeIf YOU have a question, or with to connect with Gabby, tap this link @gabbyreece | LinktreeFor show notes and past guests, please visit gabriellereece.com/podcastThe Gabby Reece Show talks to top experts with the goal of extracting the best information you will need to navigate the universe of health, fitness, relationships, parenting, and business.

My guest today is author and Harvard Professor Arthur C. Brooks. Arthur's latest book 'From Strength to Strength' is a beautiful look at how we can move graciously to the different phases in our life. We discussed ways to not only find something we are passionate about but also the way to approach investing in our long-term happiness. Rather than focusing on success addiction, make sure to create balance with family, friendship, and faith.Believe me, I love the idea of the pursuit of excellence but we just have to keep in mind and pay attention to at what cost. Everything that the world tells us will make us feel good and happy is typically not working in our favor. Arthur's book gives poignant and easy-to-follow ways to implement these important concepts into our day-to-day lives. It doesn't matter which curve you are on, it is never too late to pay attention to where we are investing our time and energy.

Hello everyone. Today is just me talking about some things that occur to me when riding my bike.I am getting out of my poor me story, approaching a fitness strategy for the next few months, doing a little more homework around my convictions and encouraging young humans not to use the word "uncomfortable" if they are angry.

My guest today is PJ Nestler, a human performance specialist with over a decade of experience training top athletes and fighters for competition. What I love about PJ's approach is his ability to deconstruct a system, figure out what is not working or working, and then put together a cohesive plan. He gives a wonderful overview on how to approach reaching your fitness goals and how you systematically improve one area of training over another and then put it together. PJ is the Director of Performance at XPT, and I have had the great privilege of not only knowing him as a person but working with him. His knowledge is extensive, he has a deep passion for helping people improve, and he provides a lot of takeaways in this show.
