Brad: The Fake, Ridiculous, Dangerous Goal of Mt. Everest
The inspiration for this show came after I saw a very well-produced documentary series called “Everest: Beyond The Limits” that’s available on Amazon Prime. This extremely well-produced account covers numerous Mt. Everest guided expeditions over three seasons, and the cinematography is so beautiful that it makes you feel like you are right there on the mountain with the climbers. One of the most entertaining and emotion-stirring aspects of the show is watching the astonishing idiocy of ego-driven extreme competitors, who seemingly will stop at nothing to achieve their obsession of standing on the highest point on earth. As I made my way through the episodes, I would often shout at the screen with exasperation at the behaviors and comments of the main protagonists. My need to vent results in a podcast episode that steps outside my usual content themes. However, I think there is some relevance here: it’s important to reflect on how our competitive instincts and goal-oriented mentalities can easily spin out of control to our detriment. In the case of Everest, overdoing it or doing it wrong can cost climbers their lives. Witness how 80% of deaths occur on the descent from the summit, because climbers extend past their limits and forget that getting to the top is only part of the challenge. In this podcast episode, I throw down, and break down, five key aspects of extreme high altitude mountaineer that deserve scrutiny and perhaps recalibration. It seems these days that we are over-glorifying achievements—represented by ostentatious displays of wealth, physiques, power, and fame, and incredible athletic performances—performances that often transcend common sense and conflict with perceived honor the participant is trying to earn. Is your life void so large that you are willing to accept a 5% death rate on the mountain (310 overall deaths, 6,000+ summiteers…although death rate is slowing in recent as technology and safety measures improve.) If it’s just you on a wild ride (like the vagabond motorcyclist character in Season 1) to live for the moment, okay man go for it. If you have family back home, wow this is a tough endeavor to rationalize - unless you exhibit impeccable preparation, restraint, and strategy. That “personal summit” ideal just doesn’t seem to be enough for many folks. I look forward to fielding your comments by email on podcast@bradventures.com. Keep in mind I’m a huge fan of high altitude mountaineering and the incredible adventurous spirit of people who are called to great challenges like visiting the most inhospitable places on earth. I just have to call BS on stuff like doing so with an oxygen tank on your face, being less than impeccably prepared, or soldiering on with a broken down body and putting yourself and others at peril. TIMESTAMPS: After viewing a series on Mt. Everest, Brad comments on the stupidity of some of the participants on the climb. [01:51] The incredible human spirit and the camaraderie of those climbers is amazing but the prioritizing of the end result over sensible concerns for safety can be compared with some aspects of the lives of elite athletes. [03:22] You have a 5 percent chance of dying on your route to the summit. Above 24,000 feet bodies of the deceased, cannot be rescued [06:59] The use of bottled oxygen is cheating, according to Brad. The used steel tanks of oxygen bottles are left on the mountain as litter. [13:39] If you are going to attempt something so challenging, train and get in shape. [24:42] Many of these inexperienced climbers put their own personal goals ahead of the safety of others on the mountain. [29:44] The correct goal of high-altitude mountaineering is not to just get to the summit, but to the summit and back down safely. [33:03] Appreciate the economic aspects of the whole thing. Many Sherpas have lost their lives helping westerners try to summit. [37:20] LINKS: Brad Kearns.com Brad’s Shopping page Everest Beyond the Limit.

Breather: Diet Tips For Natural Testosterone Optimization
This breather show is all about natural testosterone optimization. This is such an important topic of interest for aging men, but also for young men too since the most recent research on this topic has been pretty disturbing—the average testosterone level for men aged 15–39 (the peak hormonal years) has been dropping by 1% per year since the 1980s! This is alarming because testosterone levels indicate a lot—your general state of metabolic health, physical fitness, performance and recovery potential, and your ability to concentrate and pursue peak performance tasks of all kinds, not just physical ones—there is a reason why Grand Master chess players actually have higher levels of testosterone after winning. Tune in to this episode to hear what has been causing this epidemic decline across the globe and for my top diet and supplement tips to naturally optimize testosterone.

Dr. John Demartini: Pursuing Your "Inspired Purpose," And Why Passion and Motivation Are Overrated
I am so excited to present a second show with one of the world’s leading experts on human behavior, Dr. John Demartini. Dr. John has a new book called, The 7 Secret Treasures: A Transformational Blueprint for a Well-Lived Life, which is designed to reacquaint readers with the power they already have within, as Dr. John Demartini shows you the way to powerfully transform your life with tools and principles you can use to create your most inspiring and fulfilling life. This book will be a discovery of your authentic self and your path to your life mastery. Dr. John hits hard as usual by describing how pursuing your “passion” can actually be a bad idea, and how we also can forget about motivation when trying to live our best lives. “Anything that requires motivation, I outsource,” says Dr. John. Instead, we must honor my favorite maxim from Dr. John: “Ask yourself, What do you spontaneously do every day that brings you joy and requires no motivation?? This is what you value most highly and you must pursue in order to live as your authentic self.” Dr. John Demartini is a world-leading human behavior specialist, researcher, best-selling author, educator, and founder of the Demartini Method—a revolutionary tool in modern psychology. He has authored 40 books that have been translated into 39 different languages and presented his insights alongside some of the world’s most influential people, including Sir Richard Branson and Deepak Chopra. Dr. Demartini’s cutting-edge methods are the culmination of almost five decades of research across disciplines including physics, philosophy, theology, metaphysics, psychology, astronomy, mathematics, neurology, and physiology. He has synthesized these teachings and incorporated them into his work on human values. My favorite Demartini-isms: “You create internal conflict with your authentic self when you traffic in thoughts and phrases like, ‘I need to, I should, I have to.’ These things require motivation, which is now turning out to be a flimsy and unreliable resource.” “Fill your days with high-priority actions or they’ll become filled with low-priority distractions.” “If you don’t empower your life, other people will overpower you!” “If you aren’t living according to your highest values, you succumb to distraction and instant gratification (modern world!).” TIMESTAMPS: John speaks on mastery of the mind, the seven areas of life. He has ambition to contribute in some way globally. [01:45] It doesn’t matter who you are or where you come from. Are you going to apply the things that allow you to move forward and achieve? [04:51] What would he suggest when people are stuck between what they know and desire and their actual way of accomplishing something? [07:26] At age 27 John went from being in debt to a person of considerable wealth. {11:28] What you have passion about can be suffering. [13:32] Find the thing that you are inspired to do and love doing and bring it to the world. That’s how you get fulfillment. [18:10] A successful business is customer-centric as well as employee-centric. [25:01] The seven secret treasures all boil around human values. [33:08] If you fill your day with very high priority things, it’s easy to say “no.” [37:12] When you have a goal, you need to prepare. [43:09] Weave your personal hobby that nourishes you with the meaningful things you do for others. [54:29] Find a way to get paid for what you love to do.

B.rad Podcast Highlights, Part 4
In this highlight show, we hear some stand-out quotes from past guests like Dr. Phil Maffetone (godfather of endurance training and the MAF heart rate training model), Brock Armstrong, Deirdre Fitzpatrick, William Shewfelt, and a few others topics like how to effectively change your mindset, applying cognitive behavioral therapy to pursuing practical goals, and the societal prescriptions that don’t really fit anyone. You’ll find out what it takes to train at an elite level and what are just popular misconceptions about training, what soreness does to our muscles and how long it takes for our muscles to recover, the meaning of “the window of weakness,” how to use a methodical approach to win the body of your dreams and why it’s actually easier than it seems, and more! TIMESTAMPS: Brock Armstrong is an expert on diet, nutrition, exercise, working out but also has added cognitive behavioral therapy to his work with clients. Develop a curiosity and be willing to experiment on yourself. [00:36] Exercising in and of itself is a very modern construct. [03:30] If you are watching a video on a technique you are learning, what should you be looking for? Why does Brad want to write books? Brock is explaining cognitive therapy. [05:42] Dr. Maffetone says the stress thing is really what it is all about. The common denominator of the causes of death from chronic diseases has to do with being overfat. [11:25] There are some misconceptions about what is required to train and perform at the elite level. [17:07] That period of time, that 24- to 72- hour period after you do strength training is a window of weakness. [20:30] Deirdre Fitzpatrick, TV news anchor, talks about balancing her demanding career with family life as well as her accomplishments in endurance sports. [22:51] William Shewfelt talks about using a methodical approach to carve out the body you want. [28:56] William’s resistance workouts are in between weight, not heavy weight, and last about 45 minutes. [33:14] Dave Scott and Mark Allen join Brad and reveal personal thoughts and experiences we’ve not known about. [35:13] Molly Downey explains the relationship between sleep and glucose. It is very common to see elevated glucose levels overnight. [42:09] Sara Banta discovered that many of the so-called healthy foods her child was eating caused trouble. Of the family of five, she found each had a different profile of foods that they could eat. [49:27] Dr. Robert Lustig is one of the world’s pre-eminent anti-sugar crusaders. He talks about the eight pathologies that drive all chronic diseases. One thing that makes all eight go south is processed food. [56:51] Is there a potential to live to 110? The problem is, we eat crap! The food industry has us in their clutches. [01:03:30] QUOTES: "Feed the gut and protect the liver." (Lustig) "If you simply eliminate processed foods, you cannot get fat or diseased type two diabetes".

Dave Scott: Reflections On Endurance Training, Racing, And Nutrition Over Decades
I’m catching up with the legendary Dave Scott in this episode! Dave is a 6-time Hawaii Ironman world champion and respected coach, and in this show, we talk about endurance training, savoring the small victories and not just the big ones, the importance of having hobbies and other interests, how to know when you need to cut back on training and the mental toll it takes, what he does to feel fulfilled, and much more! TIMESTAMPS: Does Dave Scott take the opportunity to reflect back on how really awesome his career at Ironman was? [02:40] Dave recalls how brutal the races were back in the day. [05:15] Is it a possibility to be a well-adjusted but extremely competitive athlete? A well-rounded athlete will have some diversions besides the striving for success in the sport. [07:57] How has the transition from the competitor on top of the field to coaching been for Dave? [12:33] Dave has had some heart concerns but keeps up a pretty good exercise regimen. You can’t go “kind of hard” all the time. [18:06] How do the athletes and equipment of today’s athletes compare with the former years? Dave thinks the new shoes should be banned! [21:49] Today’s athletes are more sensible with monitoring the hearts rates and understanding that “kind of hard” is to be modulated. [33:55] It makes no sense to run a marathon close to a week before doing Ironman. [36:35] At what point do you bestow the distinction of being fit versus someone who is less fit metabolically? [41:22] Everything varies by athlete and their goals. What is an “easy day” of training? [44:21] A heavy diet of carbs was not optimal. Many people look thin but have lost muscle mass. [48:30] We need to regulate our metabolic rate by having a bigger block of protein, whether it is breakfast, lunch or dinner. Grazing is not as good. [51:29] It is easy to mis-estimate the amount of protein you are eating. Is there a danger in ingesting too much protein? [55:32] Today’s dietary strategy is still a mess. [01:06:19] At the end of a tough training day, is there a justification to going and trying to maximize intake of all the macronutrients? [01:10:07] Many of the bars on the market are toxic.

Breather: Seven Steps To Self-Awareness (Dave Rossi Inspired)
This breather show is inspired by one of my favorite podcast guests (and close friends), Dave Rossi, and it’s a checklist to facilitate personal evolution, comprised of seven effective and practical tips from Dave that will take you to the next level of personal growth and self-awareness. Dave advises us to apply this checklist to as many conversations and situations as we can, as this is what will (eventually) take us to the next level of self-awareness through hard work and repetition. In this episode, I go through all seven items on the checklist, adding some color commentary throughout, and as you will hear, they’re all easy to understand and easy to implement. I can’t recommend applying these seven tips to your life (and perhaps even replaying this podcast frequently) enough—as you will see for yourself, learning how to utilize these seven steps will truly change how you perceive yourself, others, and as a result, your whole life.

B.rad Podcast Highlights, Part 3
Welcome to another highlight show consisting of brief, very thoughtful, and enticing clips from previous podcast episodes. It’s been so much fun to go back and listen to these tidbits again, and the idea of these shows is simply to give you some interesting and inspiring takeaways (and hopefully you’re inspired to go back to the shows that pique your interest). You’ll hear from past guests like Tania Teschke, William Shewfelt, Dr. Mark Cucuzella, and Dr. Ron Sinha on a variety of health and wellness-related topics, such as what to look for when you get a blood test, how to get into the most effective and practical mindset when pursuing your goals, the problem with plant-based diets, how cultural trends can mess with our perspectives and feelings of happiness and worth, and much more. TIMESTAMPS: In Brad’s discussion of highlights from previous shows, he starts out with a clip from the author of The Bordeaux Kitchen, an interesting look at ancestral health with a French flair. In this clip she is discussing the very harmful electromagnetic radiation we are experiencing. [00:00] The WIFI is a very strong signal and should be turned off at night. [03:20] What is the difference between orange and blue light use? [05:11] William Shewfelt energizes you with describing his life goals and how to achieve them.[07:07] Dr. Ron Siniha’s clips from the podcast looks at blood markers and what they mean. Looking at triglycerides to HDL ratio is very important. [14:13] Tippy Wyatt’s interesting life led her from refugee camp to college educated Asian Keto cookbook author. [20:09] Dr. Mark Cucuzzella talks about how plant-based propaganda has infiltrated medical school education. [25:56] Dr. Cate Shanahan says your body gets damaged when it tries to burn fat.

Breather: Carnivore Scores Chart - Quick Overview
This quick breather show is all about the Carnivore Scores Food Ranking chart (available by free download on my website, BradKearns.com). Hopefully, after listening to this show you will feel inspired to print it out and tape it onto your refrigerator to ensure your diet always emphasizes the most nutritious foods on earth. In this episode, I walk you through every element of the chart, share how I prepare different foods, and explain why I decided to add certain things to the “Global All-Stars” part of the list. I also talk about how dairy products factor into the chart, the differences among the many varieties of fish, and the exciting emerging research about the benefits of creatine for protecting brain neurons against age-related damage.
