In this episode, you'll hear about: The fascinating history of C60 Why oxidative stress is central to aging and disease How C60 may act as a unique antioxidant without blunting exercise benefits Early animal studies describing C60's effects on lifespan, tumors, and inflammation Anecdotal reports in humans on sleep, recovery, inflammation, and HRV The importance of safety, purity, and scientific rigor in supplementation Longevity breakthroughs always come with both promise and skepticism. This conversation brings the science, the story, and the open questions to light, so you can better understand where C60 fits in the longevity landscape.  

In this solo episode, Garrett dives into the powerful lessons that come from contemplating our own mortality. While it's often uncomfortable to think about, facing the reality that our time is limited can be one of the most practical ways to gain clarity about what truly matters – both in life and in business. The conversation includes: Reflecting on our own death as a powerful teacher The importance of having a true core purpose independent of external circumstances Why directing our energy wisely is the most important decision we make each day How "compressing time" exercises can cut through clutter and reveal real priorities This is an invitation to pause, reflect, and reorient. By compressing time and confronting our own finiteness, we discover focus, alignment, and a clearer path toward leading our best lives.  

What if your brain held the keys to living longer and healthier? In this solo episode, I dive into the fascinating intersection of neuroscience and longevity, unpacking how the nervous system shapes resilience, recovery, and the aging process. Drawing on both science and personal experience, I'll explore how practices like meditation, nervous system training, and targeted stimulation can help us unlock more years and better years.  We'll cover: Why the autonomic nervous system is the hidden regulator of health and longevity How neuroplasticity impacts the body and mind The ways foot stimulation impacts the brain to reduce fall risk and extend independence What psychoneuroimmunology teaches us about stress, inflammation, and the immune system's role in aging, or "inflammaging"  Insights from meditation, HRV tracking, and direct experience of rewiring the nervous system for resilience This is more than a discussion about just living longer, it's about living better too. Join me as we uncover how neuroscience provides both the framework and the tools to train your brain and body for vibrant health and longevity.  

In this episode, we explore how neuroscience reveals what truly makes leaders effective – from how they regulate themselves, lead by example, and the various ways they can influence others and shape a team's culture. You'll learn how emotional safety, trust, and meaning aren't just soft skills but are actually brain-based performance drivers. Discover how a leader's role modeling combined with mirror neurons influence your team's mood, energy, and behavior Understand why brains in "threat mode" shut down trust, learning, and creativity and why psychological safety is the #1 predictor of high-performing teams Learn how to move from individual contributor to team multiplier Hear why storytelling activates more of the brain than data – and how to use that as a leader Explore how trust, purpose, and vulnerability unlock team engagement Leadership isn't about control, it's about connection of people with each other and with a sense of shared purpose. And when you lead with safety, clarity, and purpose, you do far more than just manage a team – you multiply its impact.  

What if you could get laboratory-grade movement insights with nothing more than your phone? In this episode, Garrett sits down with Jacob Salim, co-founder of G8way Max, to explore how motion capture and biomechanical analysis are becoming more accessible, precise, and effective than ever. Jacob shares the origin of the platform, how it works, and why personalized programming is the missing link for many people dealing with pain or underperforming bodies. In this episode, you'll learn: How G8way Max captures and analyzes movement with only a smartphone camera, replicating the joint angle and posture measurements of advanced biomechanics laboratories The 8 movement categories the system evaluates to find dysfunction How personalized recommendations increase compliance and real-world results Why poor standing posture is often the source of deeper dysfunction How clinicians and coaches are using this tool in practice today Whether you're a coach, clinician, or someone who just wants to move better and hurt less, this conversation reveals how tech can accelerate progress – and put true biomechanical insight in your pocket.

Most golfers and baseball players chase speed and distance… but ignore the root cause of why they're stuck. In this episode of The Undercurrent, Dr. Jared Bickle breaks down how to assess, treat, and train the rotational athlete with a precise framework that bridges rehab and elite performance. We cover: How the golf swing is more physically demanding than most people realize, and using the TPI (Titleist Performance Institute) framework for assessing and treating the numerous golf injuries that exist Why trail-side low back pain is the most common injury in golfers, and the connection to hip and thoracic mobility  How to use technology like the Neubie and Proteus for faster recovery and bigger performance gains with rotational athletes The hidden "drivers" behind swing mechanics, pain, and performance – and why speed and power do not always translate to a better swing Building speed and power the right way, without sacrificing durability If you treat or train rotational athletes – or if you are one yourself – this episode is for you. You'll walk away with practical insights that shift how you view the body and the ways you can unlock greater performance and longevity.  

What if the fear you're avoiding is actually the key to your growth? In this episode, I sit down with Akshay Nanavati, a Marine Corps veteran, ultra-endurance athlete, and author of Fearvana. We explore how fear, suffering, and stillness can become powerful tools for transformation. Why fear isn't the enemy – it's fuel for mastery The difference between pain, suffering, and unnecessary suffering Lessons from 60 days solo in Antarctica The power of stillness, and what true stillness reveals about ourselves This is a raw and real conversation about what it takes to go to your sacred edge … and to come back with something deeper than success: peace and true fulfillment.  

In this episode, Dr. Scott Sherr – Board-Certified Internal Medicine physician and leading voice in Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) – joins us to explore how oxygen under pressure can radically shift outcomes in recovery, rehab, and performance. We break down how HBOT complements neuromuscular reeducation tools like the Neubie, especially for patients with neurological conditions, chronic pain, or mitochondrial dysfunction, plus additional benefits for athletic recovery and performance. If you're looking for cutting-edge strategies to enhance neuroplasticity, energy production, and functional recovery, this conversation is a must-listen. We cover: - The science of HBOT and its epigenetic, anti-inflammatory, and vascular effects - How HBOT and Neubie together can accelerate outcomes in MS, stroke, TBI, and CRPS - Why timing and metabolic readiness matter before using HBOT, and how not addressing these can have negative consequences - The role of methylene blue and other mitochondrial enhancers - Performance, brain function, and recovery for athletes and high-performers - Health Optimization Medicine as a proactive model for cellular health - Real case insights from both HBOT and Neubie applications Dr. Sherr brings a systems-level view that bridges conventional medicine with future-forward technology, and it's a powerful complement to the NeuFit Method.
