Brad Kearns: Brad's Blood Test Recommendations For Males Aging Gracefully
In this episode, I share my recommendations for blood testing for health, disease screening, and peak performance with particular relevance to fitness-minded males who want to age gracefully. Unfortunately, typical screening is just scratching the surface and there are many flawed and dated misconceptions about mainstream medical system blood screening and disease risk factors, so I wanted to talk about which tests I recommend, counter some of the misconceptions and misinterpretations about this topic, and share commentary from highly respected ancestral health leaders like Dr. Cate Shanahan, Dr. Ron Sinha, Dr. Peter Attia, Dr. Paul Saladino, Dr. Gabrielle Lyon, and Dr. Layne Norton. After listening to this show, you will come away with a better understanding of your test results and also with an understanding of how you can take more control of your blood testing. One way to accomplish this is by ordering tests directly and getting results via the Internet—I have done this myself for many years by testing my male hormone profiles frequently and tracking the results against my lifestyle practices (hint: overtraining tanks testosterone). Enjoy this episode, and feel free to share it with any cardiologist so he she can reply ‘who dis clown?’” TIMESTAMPS: Brad has done much research on blood tests. His knowledge and personal experience, brings solid information we all should be aware of. [00:45] The blood test results you typically get from your doctor don’t go very far. [01:51] Any talk of your “good cholesterol is good” and your “bad cholesterol is bad”, is coming from someone who is 40 or 50 years behind the emerging research. [03:39] The triglycerides to HDL ratio is the single most important marker for heart disease. [05:31] There are some things to analyze on your own blood report. Ask for fasting blood insulin. And test your body composition for free. [12:14] As you age, it is important to focus on the sex hormone panels. Testosterone is an extremely important hormone. [19:20] Vitamin D technically is a hormone rather than a vitamin. It is important for cancer prevention. Learn about proper sun exposure. [27:04] Some other important tests are hemoglobin, hematocrit, and iron. High blood viscosity is a red flag. [33:30] Fasting glucose and HB A1C levels can predict what your blood sugar is like. [37:19] A quick analysis of your waistline is to look at the waist to height ratio. The waist in inches should be half of the height in inches. [41:20] Colonoscopy and mammograms are important but you need to beware about false positives and the stress they cause. Insist on thorough EKG. [43:20] Blood pressure is something you can monitor at home. There are many causes of high unhealthy blood pressure that can be handled by changes you can make. [48:12] In summary, stay on top of your blood readings, especially if you are an active athlete. Testosterone is especially important as you age. [49:30] Brad talks about handling illnesses naturally rather than depending on prescription medications which mask the symptoms you are experiencing.

Breather: The Health And Performance Risks Of Overtraining
It may not be everyone’s favorite subject, but we’ve got to talk about overtraining because of how important it is to have a heightened awareness and pay constant attention to your stress/rest balance—otherwise you will make the same, all too common mistakes most people do and will plunge into the spirals of overreaching, overtraining, and full-blown burnout. An overly stressful approach unfortunately can and will compromise the many benefits of leading an active, energetic, fit lifestyle, and this is true even when the exerciser feels strong and energetic and makes quantifiable progress with fitness goals. Understanding the delicate nuances of the fight-or-flight response to exercise can help prevent overexertion in the first place. Gaining a complete understanding of the symptoms and imbalances associated with the temporary state of overreaching (the predecessor to overtraining) and full-blown overtraining can help coaches and athletes navigate these treacherous waters with aplomb. More shows ahead with details about this important topic! LINKS: Brad Kearns.com Brad’s Shopping page B.rad Whey Protein Isolate Superfuel - The Best Protein on The Planet!

Ato Boldon: The Journey From World Champion Sprinter To World Champion Broadcaster
I am so excited to introduce a unique and super interesting, lively, talkative guest—Ato Boldon! Track & Field fans will recognize Ato since he is one of the fastest humans of all time who competed in the Olympics back in the ‘90s representing Trinidad and Tobago (he also has eight global medals). After retiring from elite competition, Ato transitioned into an amazing and lengthy career in the broadcast booth and he has worked as the lead broadcaster for NBC Track & Field for 17 years. I am not kidding when I say I consider him to be the single best commentator in the world in any sport, and it was actually because of a Track & Field event I attended (the Diamond League Finals in Eugene, Oregon) that I was able to connect with Ato since I happened to bump into him on my flight! Thanks to that event, I was able to connect with him and interview him about his life and career: growing up in Trinidad and Tobago and later, New York and California, how he never lost a single race to another collegiate athlete, the injury and car accident that cut his athletic career short and how he transitioned into his second, still fulfilling career, the preparation and focus that goes into being a great broadcaster, coaching elite athletes and NFL players, and more! TIMESTAMPS: Even if you are not a track and field fan, you will enjoy Ato Boldon, one of the world’s most accomplished athlete and sports broadcaster. [00:45] Ato has an interesting story to tell about his rise into the sport. [04:07] Some young athletes do not start out with the natural talent or physical features necessary to become champions. [08:34] It is difficult to know or see what potential there is in a young athlete. [12:24] Ato’s formative years as an athlete were in the US. What would his story have been had he stayed in the Caribbean competing with those runners? [16:38] It is difficult to be a professional in the sport of track and field. The competition with the world’s best is important, even more so than the color of the medal. [20:41] Sports is about overcoming what life throws at us. [26:47] How do the athletes’ times from a generation ago compare with today’s? Shoe technology has much to do with the new records. [30:20] Usain Bolt has a reputation of being lazy in training rather than wisely resting more. What are Ato’s thoughts about Usain? [34:18] Seven Steps, Drive Phase, are examples of coaching on running form in 1995. [39:07] Ato’s career took a sudden turn after injuries sustained in an auto accident. He talks about learning to be a broadcaster. [41:32] What does the future schedule look like for Ato?

Breather: Lion Martinez - The World's Fastest Masters Sprinter
Listeners, you know how much I love to talk about sprinting and recommend adding sprinting (truly explosive, all-out, maximum efforts) to your training regimen for all the wonderful health, fitness, and longevity benefits that accrue—which is why it was such an extreme privilege to welcome Lion Martinez to the show. Lion happens to be the fastest human who has ever lived over the age of 45 and he has broken more than a few world records (such as a 10.72 world record in the masters 100 meters championship in 2023). He is dominating the sport right now, and also coaches a group of master sprinters and young, elite sprinters near his base in Stockholm, Sweden. Every person in his group has set personal best in successive years—not a surprise when you learn about his very scientific, methodical approach to sprint training. The episode with Lion gets a little technical at times as we discussed some of the science of the energy systems and the parameters of training and recovery, but he did a wonderful job explaining this in a way everyone can understand, and all athletes and fitness enthusiasts will get a lot of value out of hearing some of these important principles—especially how to integrate explosive, high intensity workouts into your training regimen, and most especially, how to do them correctly so you don’t pull a hamstring or get injured!

Lion Martinez: How To Sprint Correctly And Other Tips From The World's Fastest Human Over Age 45
I am so excited to introduce the fastest human who has ever lived on the planet over age 45—world record holder in Masters 100 meters, Lion Martinez from Stockholm, Sweden! Lion coaches a thriving group of other master sprinters and as you will soon hear in this show, has some novel and fascinating ideas on how to train for sprinting that destroys some of the misconceptions and notions we have misinterpreted about what it means to be a truly explosive athlete. You will learn important things like the natural and necessary tradeoff between training for endurance competency and training for true speed and explosiveness (newsflash: you can’t really do both), tidbits about the energy systems of the body and why we’re truly only capable of maintaining maxim explosive output for around 3.5 seconds (and can only maintain our top speed for 7-8 seconds), why sprinting is an art form, what happens when we exhaust the lactate pathways, how to improve your technique and become a master sprinter, and more! TIMESTAMPS: This show from the world’s fastest man over age 45 will be invaluable for any and all fitness enthusiasts. [00:43] How do the times for today’s runners compare with the ancient Olympic records? [04:38] What has changed with technology and training and recovery? [06:39] The records in the Masters division have continually gone down. [09:30] What is Lion’s athletic background that got him to this point? [12:01] Competition is the beauty of the sport. [22:16] What is the training like now? [25:57] You can’t tell if you screwed up until you are further down the road. Recovery is very important. [29:38] There are different types of fatigue or energy systems. [32:48] Sprinting is unnatural for humans. The right technique is more complicated than just moving your legs. There’s a real science to it. [39:14] It seems the goal of getting faster by doing sprints that are shorter and taking more rest might be less physically stressful and less breakdown when you’re talking about a training pattern.

Brad: Why Breakfast Is Making A Comeback For Your Active, Energetic Lifestyle
“Breakfast is the important meal of the day,” according to decades-long conventional wisdom—however, this notion has been slammed in recent years along with the rise of the Ancestral health movement. But now, breakfast is coming back in style for many reasons—especially for healthy, active folks looking to pursue peak performance and avoid disease and delay aging. Listen to this episode to learn about the benefits of eating breakfast, why the morning hours are the most opportune time to consume calories, why certain people should still consider partaking in fasting for health benefits, why skipping breakfast or eating low-carb can be too stressful for certain people, how to treat an “energy toxicity” problem, and much more! TIMESTAMPS: Breakfast is making a comeback after being derided in the ancestral movement. [00:44] What is important is understanding how to consume the right foods for your activities during the day. [02:03] Consume fewer nutrient deficient calories because that is the main culprit causing metabolic function problems. [05:28] If you simply eliminate processed foods, you can’t get fat. (Lustig) [06:39] The idea that too many eggs will give you a heart attack has been disproven. [08:47] For many years, Brad would skip breakfast. Now he has done a complete about face. [09:37] Fruit provides easy-to-digest calories, good all year around. [11:31] A large number of genes associated with energy utilization are under circadian control. [15:21] Break your fast in the morning emphasizing protein. A recent study showed that 78% of the people in the study who ate breakfast every day, lost weight and kept it off long-term. [19:58] Weigh yourself every day. [23:15] It is easy to add excess body fat when eating non-nutritional processed foods. [26:24] Brad’s motto is: perform, recover, perform, recover. Don’t forget keto is a stress mechanism. [30:24] Brad talks about his recent fasting as a result of having COVID. [35:41] Make a concerted effort to consume the most nutritious foods.
