It’s time to meet my neighbor, YouTube sensation Thomas DeLauer! Get ready for a truly inspiring and wide-ranging conversation as Thomas shares his deeply personal story, talking about the many challenges he has faced throughout his life—challenges that ultimately led him to the position he is currently in today. Thomas discusses the moment with a stranger that completely changed his life, hot topics like doping and the Liver King controversy, both of our current reflections on restrictive diets, and his personal dietary strategy—a rare occurrence to enjoy since he prefers to be the voice that distills and shares scientific info with others. Enjoy the show!   TIMESTAMPS: Thomas tells of his amazing turn-around from a 300-pound fatty to his popular YouTube site on health and fitness. [01:26] It is not normal to be obsessed about your circumstances. It is important to be authentic about who you are. [07:47] During his high school years, Thomas struggled with a roller coaster existence of eating disorders, and other compulsions. [11:54] As he was piling on excessive weight, he was focused on earning money in his career, ignoring the unhealthy way he was living. [17:07] When his friend noticed Thomas eating his daily dose of tacos, he suddenly realized what he was doing to himself. [20:01] We need to understand how to modulate our athletic activity and understand the reason we are doing it. [27:22] Intermittent fasting worked for Thomas in getting the pounds off. [30:23] Thomas explains water retention and inflammation to explain losing 50 pounds in three months. [34:18] How did Thomas get on magazine covers? [40:01] Every time you take a diuretic or every time you sodium deplete and replete, you rebound although it is not a healthy thing to do. [48:17] Thomas’s current business is explaining and educating what worked for him. Listen to folks who actually walk the walk. [49:44] The doping scene in sports is common but the attitudes about it differ. [54:29] When considering hormone replacement, try all your other possibilities first, then sit with a good practitioner and learn the healthiest way to do it. [01:07:56] The revolving use of restrictive dietary strategies for peak performance works differently for different people’s needs. Remember that it is a stressor. [01:11:58] Do we need more weight loss studies? Should we eat carbs and fats at the same time?

Supplementation can be an important area of testosterone optimization, but it seems ridiculous to try to optimize and fine-tune your ability to produce testosterone naturally through supplementation until you have nailed the big-picture items discussed in previous episodes—like getting optimal sleep, recovery, and downtime. In part 9 of this series, I walk you through the various supplementation options for testosterone optimization and share my personal experience with different supplements!   LINKS: Brad Kearns.com Brad’s Shopping page B.rad Whey Protein Isolate Superfuel   Join Brad for more fun on: Instagram: @bradkearns1 Facebook: @bradkearnsjumphigh Twitter: @bradleykearns YouTube: @brad.kearns TikTok: @bradkearns   We appreciate all feedback, and questions for Q&A shows, emailed to podcast@bradventures.com.

Get ready for a fantastic show with my good friend Tara Garrison! Tara is an Instagram/fitness sensation and certified personal trainer, nutritionist, and mindset coach who helps high performers and everyday people be their best. In today’s show, Tara shares her incredible and touching backstory in the hopes of inspiring you to join her in the journey she has been on to transform her entire existence. You will hear Tara’s amazing personal story of transformation, starting from her challenging and traumatic childhood and family life, how she found her way and discovered her personal power to become a spiritual and healthy lifestyle guide, and how she lost everything and was forced to forge a new path for herself, all by herself. You will also hear the reflections Tara has learned that will help you check in with yourself and monitor your stress/rest balance, mindset, goals, ego, and reasons for consuming and participating in social media. It is so helpful to hear from someone on this path, especially when you hear Tara continually express her gratitude for so many things in her life that would make most people feel pretty resentful.   TIMESTAMPS: A powerful guide in Tara’s life is intuition. Listen to your body.  You don’t need a strict and rigid schedule. [05:01] Tara went from being overweight and regimented in her diet to finding a more casual approach that brought r6esults she wanted. [11:22] What was the journey Tara took to get to her present state to really unhealthy? It was a trauma response. [13:27] There is much mindset work that you have to do on a journey to getting healthy. [19:30] You learn so much by working with a coach. [24:37] How does one have a real relationship with your body? [27:08] When you are trying to override unhealthy cravings, learn to meditate to educate your body on what is the best thing for how you want to live your life. [31:35] Are you going to choose the old patterns or the new patterns? [36:20] It is hard to make that change from “I should” or “I have to” to “I want to do this for myself.” [40:49] In what way were the plant medicines and alternative health practices a catalyst for Tara? [51:03] Learn to really feel what you are feeling and learn from that what is most helpful to personal growth. [54:41] Guilt is one of the most corrosive emotions.

Today we’re talking about biohacking and protecting yourself from modern hazards to help you in your goal of optimizing testosterone naturally. Thanks to (quite alarming) research, we know that there has been a steady decline in the average male’s testosterone levels because of various factors like the obesity epidemic and the increasing number of endocrine disruptors in our environment.

It’s time for another highlight show! I love getting to hear these interesting excerpts from past interviews, and hopefully hearing these short clips piques your curiosity and inspires you to go back and listen to the entire show. Even if you heard these episodes back when they first aired, I think you will enjoy revisiting previous shows and hearing highlights of some of the great topics we have covered. Enjoy the show!   TIMESTAMPS: Mia Moore and Brad discuss the rationale for eating ancestral style with her own perspective, not necessarily aligned with Brad’s.  [01:17] We are now realizing that the standard western diet has been a widespread dismal failure resulting in the fattest population in the history of humanity.   [06:34] Dave Scott is discussing what he learned about nutrition, especially about carb intake, during his career as a triathlete. [09:01] One should wait 35 to 45 minutes before having coffee in the morning and you can add carbs., according to Dave. [14:11] Instead of saying it’s your passion, consider think of it as you’re pursuing your inspired purpose. [18:20] If you fill your day with very high priority things, it's easy to say no to people. [29:16] Elle Russ explains how she had to take things into her own hands to come to solutions on the treatment of her thyroid problem. She has run into many doctors who were uniformed about thyroid issues. [32:02] If you have any autoimmune disorder, get antibodies down to the lowest levels possible or undetectable. [46:09] Gordo Byrn ties together the importance of fitness, family, and finances. He focuses on the impact of parenting on youth sports.

In part 7 of this ongoing series of breather shows all about how to optimize testosterone naturally, we are talking about avoiding overly stressful workout patterns! This is a particularly important one since there are extreme consequences that come with overdoing it, especially when it comes to sex hormone optimization. As Dr. Herman Pontzer says: “Repair, reproduction, growth, and locomotion are a zero-sum game. Borrow too much from one, and you can compromise the other.” Overtraining is one of the ultimate testosterone killers, so tune in if you want to learn how you can optimize testosterone naturally and achieve a healthy balance with your workout routine.   LINKS: Brad Kearns.com Brad’s Shopping page B.rad Whey Protein Isolate Superfuel   Join Brad for more fun on: Instagram: @bradkearns1 Facebook: @bradkearnsjumphigh Twitter: @bradleykearns YouTube: @brad.kearns TikTok: @bradkearns   We appreciate all feedback, and questions for Q&A shows, emailed to podcast@bradventures.com.

I am so pleased to welcome my old friend and repeat podcast guest Katy Bowman back to the show! Katy is the queen of nutritious movement (check out her website here to connect with her and get a more movement-oriented lifestyle). Katy joins us to talk about her new book, Rethink Your Position, which deals with the many options we have as we move our bodies throughout everyday life and why “Maximalism of the body helps you achieve minimalism in life.” Aside from workouts, we also have an obligation to optimize movement in everyday life and I love Katy’s work on the goal of creating a dynamic workplace environment (you can enroll in her digital course, Don’t Just Sit There, by clicking here). Katy shares some interesting specifics in this show, like head ramping (a drill you can do to get your head aligned with your shoulders), the benefits of spending more time sitting and interacting with the ground, and her minimalist sleeping experience (including how she has gradually moved away from using even a pillow!).    TIMESTAMPS: Katy Bowman is an expert on movement and posture. [00:47] If exercisers take a lot of downtime, sedentary time, it’s important to do it right. [06:03] Specialization is necessary for competition, but it's not great for longevity. [10:35] Our generation is not moving their body the way they used to years ago. One study says we spend 86% of our time inside and 7% in a vehicle. [23:46] Our relationship with nature and our relationship with movement can’t really be separated. [26:32] Supplementing in many areas is not really meeting our needs. [28:33] You might have a physical malady and go for treatment, but you also need to look at fixing how you got the injury.  [31:40] In her new book, Katy has short essays divided by body parts so if you are focusing on the knees, for example, you go right to that chapter. [35:03] Flexible seating in classrooms, workstations and even around the home is a low-cost way to keep in shape. [39:08] Being seated on the ground is using different muscles in the body for support from those used when sitting in a chair. We are not very fluent in our physicality. [42:23] So often when we are working on screens or reading, we position our head forward, in front of our ears, thus throwing our spines out. By learning the head ramps described by Katy, you will be in a better position. [51:09] It is hard to separate age from length of habit. Forget about aging. Look at length of habit. [57:13] Minimalist bedding experience includes no pillow.  How does that work? [58:32] How does Katy produce so much as a writer?

Welcome to part 6 in our series of breather shows on how to optimize testosterone naturally! To quickly review: In part 1 we covered sleep, rest/recovery, and downtime, in part 2 we talked about ditching toxic, modern, processed foods, and part 3 was all about nutrient dense plant foods (like fruit) from the Carnivore Scores chart. In part 4 we focused on the most nutrient dense animal foods from the chart and in part 5, finding ways to move more in everyday life (aside from structured cardiovascular sessions).  In part 6, you will learn about the importance of performing brief, explosive, high-intensity workouts, as they are a huge natural driver of testosterone and other adaptive hormones. As you will hear, this is the appropriate use of the flight of fight response—putting yourself under stress through short exercise efforts that are brief and explosive. However, as you will learn in this show, it’s important to make sure that while you still perform these exercises regularly, you do not overdo it and do them too frequently—nor should they last too long. Tune in to learn how you can utilize resistance training and sprinting to optimize testosterone, as well as how microworkouts can be a wonderful addition to support this goal!   LINKS: Brad Kearns.com Brad’s Shopping page B.rad Whey Protein Isolate Superfuel   Join Brad for more fun on: Instagram: @bradkearns1 Facebook: @bradkearnsjumphigh Twitter: @bradleykearns YouTube: @brad.kearns TikTok: @bradkearns   We appreciate all feedback, and questions for Q&A shows, emailed to podcast@bradventures.com.

Jason Prall delivers a sensational presentation in this episode on the fascinating topic of human longevity! Rarely have I interviewed such a powerhouse guest, so fasten your seatbelts because this guy brings the heat and you can hardly catch your breath as we cover a tremendous range of topics all centered around longevity. Jason is well-known for his documentary series called Human Longevity Project, and he also recently released a book called Beyond Longevity: A Human Plan For For Healing Faster, Feeling Better, and Thriving At Any Age. We cover so many other topics aside from the basics of eating healthy, exercise, and moderating stress, and Jason’s work has led him to doing an incredible amount of research into these topics, which makes him an incredibly passionate and knowledge resource. We have a really practical and grounded conversation that also incorporates elements of appreciation, spirituality, aging gracefully, and according to Jason, “paying attention to all the energetic inputs to highlight the areas that provide the biggest opportunity for improvement.”   QUOTES: “If we wish to thrive in the modern world, we must create a mental, emotional, physical, and energetic environment that is congruent with this natural lifecycle.”   TIMESTAMPS: Jason brings to us all the latest information on longevity. [00:56] The Human Longevity Project came about from looking at combining all aspects of our current life as well as the spiritual concepts and a deeper understanding of biology. [03:30] What have we learned from the people in the Blue Zone? [07:50] Why do would we want to live to 100? [09:29] We have to concentrate on how we deal with the effects of today’s lifestyle with technology and other things that trigger our nervous system. We have adapted to the environment that we’re in. [21:26] We all have the capacity to change our mental and emotional framework. [27:03] Do the people in the Blue Zone naturally feel grateful and are they naturally able to manage their attention and priorities without a Google calendar? [28:30] In our culture there is actually an underlying stressor keeping our sympathetic system elevated on a chronic basis.  [34:15] The foods that people eat in different cultures vary and they are not labeled bad or good.  All foods are bad or good in the right context. Each person is different. [37:50] The people in the Blue Zones eat what is available.  They can get away with eating more Starchy carbohydrates because they are on the move all day long. [43:57] There won’t be Blue Zones like in the past because modern western influence has emerged. [47:31] It is important to pay attention to all the energetic inputs that provide biggest opportunities for improvement wherever you stand now. Pay attention to the circadian rhythm. [54:28] What did you see that was the impact of Western society as you were going back and forth between these primitive cultures and places like New York City?  [01:01:26] The first seven years of one’s life lays the groundwork for longevity. [01:07:48] The depth of knowledge and awareness that those centenarians Jason interviewed have, not only acknowledging about their culture and their life and the human experience from their perspective, but they also seem to understand it. [01:18:50] They have a community of safety. They trust that things are going to be fine. [01:21:36] Living a youthful life, hanging out with younger people and pets all help you keep up that youthful spirit. [01:28:44] You have an opportunity every day to establish a new way of being.
