The B.rad Podcast

Today we’re talking about the remaining MOFO Mission Assignments and what makes them such effective and integral tools for testosterone optimization.This episode will illustrate the importance of taking a comprehensive approach towards hormone optimization: you’ll hear about the profound effect relationships have on our hormones and learn interesting research taken from numerous global studies about testosterone. We also talk about how your lifestyle can negate the effects of supplementation and other testosterone-boosting practices, as well as what the presence of visceral fat on the body reveals about your health.  Listen to part 1 of the show here!TIMESTAMPS:Male testosterone level has been declining since the 1980s. [01:35]The visceral fat that collects around the abdominal organs secretes its own chemicals causing inflammation. [04:55]Brad reviews part one of the MOFO Mission: sleep, clean up your diet and toxic relationships, and keep moving. [05:47]If you don’t get up and move frequently, you will lose your ability to focus and concentrate. [13:32]Hit it hard…..include brief explosive high intensity workouts into your fitness regimen.There's a sweet spot for the optimal duration of your sprint efforts. Don’t overwork. [16:14]Assignment number 7 is: take control of your life. Our connectivity to technology is proving to be harmful to the brain. [37:01]Estrogenic compounds are everywhere in plastics and household products. Get rid of plastics that are touching your food. [46:17]Many of the health and beauty products we use at home have chemicals that are not good for your health. Minimize your EMF exposure at night. [51:52]Rest, recovery and restoration. You might want to learn to nap. [54:55]Number 10 of the MOFO assignments is to quit being a dick to your wife or girlfriend. Manage your emotions.

Get ready for a fun and lively conversation about the many benefits of living a barefoot-style lifestyle with Steven Sashen!Steven is the co-founder and CEO of the fantastic minimalist footwear company, Xero Shoes, which he started with wife after discovering the comfort, benefits, and fun that comes with natural movement. In this episode, we focus on the wonderful physical changes that come from getting back to basics and truly honoring the ancestral living approach, head to toe! We talk about the marketing forces that have always played a huge role in shaping the shoe industry and Steven shares some great ideas for integrating more barefoot time into your daily life. He also implores us to ask ourselves one question: Do my feet feel better at the end of the day than they did at the beginning? If they don’t, then it’s time to consider getting a pair of Xero shoes so you can feel the difference for yourself. A Masters All-American sprinter and former All-American gymnast, Steven has spent time working as a stand-up comic and cognitive psychology researcher, and has also taught Tai Chi and Zen Archery. Additionally, Steven is the creator of Scriptware, the industry-standard word processor for film and TV writers. Learn more about Xero Shoes here!TIMESTAMPS:    Living barefoot style is getting back to basics. [01:11]Whatever you put on your feet will change your gait. [04:32]Running barefoot on cement you naturally optimize the impact. [07:38]When reading about studies and research, it is important to look at the context.  Who is sponsoring the study? [09:15]Powerful marketing forces send a message that the ultimate expression of an athlete is to complete an Ironman or marathon. [13:06]Studies show that testing people’s time for a mile turned out to be an excellent predictor of longevity and disease risk. [15:36]Steven got into sprinting and continues into the higher age group. He studies his proper form when running barefoot. [19:51]Steven explains a perfect running form that he has learned from being barefoot. It is hard for some people to even feel where their feet are landing. [25:54]Is there a decrease in the incidence of positive tests on the runners today? [34:23]Take off the padded constrictive heel-elevated shoes and try the barefoot style. [36:56]It’s not about the footwear.  It’s about the form. [39:47]It seems the heavily padded shoes are coming back. Padding does not reduce impact forces.  [46:57]There are many things about shoes that are misunderstood. [52:08]Sometimes the shoe can make your gait change without you even realizing it.  [54:26]The way shoes are marketed influences performance because of expectations. [56:33]When purchasing shoes, it is important to think about how your foot is designed, not just the cushy comfort.

When it comes to effective methods of supporting healthy aging for men, the most important and relevant topic to focus on is how to maintain (and increase) testosterone.As the ultimate performance and anti-aging hormone, testosterone does many wonderful things for your body, including enhancing peak performance (cognitive and physical). In this episode, you’ll learn why we can actually think of testosterone as a “social status hormone” and why your ability to stay calm, cool, and collected (as described by John Gray) is actually indicative of high testosterone levels.We also talk about the wonderful effects testosterone has on focus and motivation (did you know that chess masters actually have higher blood testosterone levels than the opponents they beat?) and the very distressing fact that the average male testosterone level has been declining at a rate of 1% per year since the 1980s. The MOFO mission is simple: to reclaim your manhood and preserve your male essence as you age. However, this process is often way easier said than done—that is, if you don’t have all the right information. That’s where the MOFO Mission assignments come in: to identify the 10 most crucial factors and practices you need to know about in order to easily adapt your habits and lifestyle to suit your body’s needs as it ages.Stay tuned to hear the last 5 assignments in an upcoming episode, and to learn more about the MOFO Mission and the life-changing supplement at the center of it, go to Bradkearns.com/MOFO.TIMESTAMPS:This podcast is focusing on the performance goals of men as they age. [01:24]Testosterone is a social status hormone. It is not an aggression hormone. [02:46]Alarming studies from around the world find the average male testosterone level is declining at a rate of 1% per year. [05:06]Taking supplements for testosterone replacement therapy needs to be accompanied with a healthy lifestyle. [09:44]Extra belly fat is considered another distinct organ in the body. [11:49]The MOFO mission has 10 elements. Number 1 is sleep. Make good sleep your top priority. [12:56]Clean up your act is Number 2. Ditch the refined sugars, grains, and industrial seed oils. [22:30]This also includes cleaning up toxic relationships which can diminish testosterone. [25:27]Number 3 assignment is to eat ancestral foods that come from natural sources. [29:42]Feeling MOFO powerful is assignment Number 4. Learn to build and recharge. [32:41]Number 5 is move frequently at a slow pace. You don’t have to push yourself to get aerobically fit.

Get ready for an exciting, fun, and informative show with Dr. Mark Cucuzzella!Dr. Marks returns to the podcast for an educational conversation about his incredible work practicing family medicine, how he has overhauled the dietary practices in the hospital he works at, and much more. An accomplished marathon runner, Dr. Mark owns a unique and innovative running store to promote and share his enthusiasm for the barefoot movement and minimalist footwear. This show blends important medical recommendations with helpful information like how to assess and minimize heart disease risk factors, and you’ll learn interesting facts, like why the triglyceride to HDL ratio on your blood test is the important marker for heart disease risk factors, as well as useful info about EKG stress tests and coronary calcium score tests, and how to generally live a healthy, balanced lifestyle!TIMESTAMPS:This podcast will be filled with recommendations and information about how to assess and minimize your heart disease risk factors. [01:27]It’s good to keep a competitive edge. Running is good mental therapy. [05:40]Mark talks about his medical history during his running experiences. [07:00]What happens when we hit “the wall?” The Central Governor will not let you die. [14:05]The key is to figure out how to turn it on and off. [18:30]It is important to get more than an EKG to predict heart health. You need the coronary calcium score. [21:12]A good measurement for your body is two times your waist should be less than your height. [29:49]It is still taking the medical community too long to catch up with this information. [33:21]If a person is fit and eats healthy, how does a high calcium score come in? [42:25]Your competitive intensity and your drive can all serve to harm you if it gets out of hand. [49:36]Pre-diabetes can be making too little insulin sometimes. [51:55]All people need to look at their individual body to see what diet is best.  Is there a strategic inclusion of carbs recommended? [56:48]The barefoot minimalist shoe lifestyle is a big part of Dr. Mark’s life right now. [01:02:04]NOTES:Where did the term “Type A” originate?Coined in the late 1950s, the term "Type A" originated when cardiologist Meyer Friedman observed a relationship between incidences of heart disease and personality type -- namely, that those most likely to suffer a cardiac event also tended to have, in his estimation, more driven, impatient, high-stress personalities.LINKS:Dr. Mark’s Desk (Dr. Mark’s website)Two Rivers TreadsCoronary Artery Calcium scoreRun for Your Life bookJoin Brad for more fun on: Instagram: @bradkearns1Facebook: @bradkearnsjumphighTwitter: @bradleykearnsYouTube: @BradKearnsWe appreciate all feedback, and questions for Q&A shows, emailed to getoveryourselfpodcast@gmail.com.

What a fantastic opportunity to catch up with perhaps the world’s leading anti-sugar crusader, Dr. Robert Lustig. A pediatric endocrinologist and professor emeritus at UC San Francisco, Dr. Lustig is also the bestselling author of groundbreaking books like Fat Chance, The Hacking Of The American Mind, and the 2021 release titled, Metabolical. This man is fighting a valiant and high stakes battle against the mighty opponents of industrialized food, tainted science, and poor government regulation. What’s refreshing about Dr. Lustig is that he does not have an angle in the game—he is simply reporting the facts and phenomenons that have led us down the disastrous path to becoming the fattest, sickest developed nation in the history of the planet. Dr. Lustig also offers compelling solutions, and it starts with taking responsibility for your own health, voting with your pocketbook (because there is always going to be more money than votes, so the money always wins). It also may be important to consider this processed food problem with the seriousness and urgency as climate change, for example. We also talk about how to choose foods that will protect your liver and nourish your gut, as Dr. Lustig has a gift for simplifying the often frustrating challenge of eating food that helps protect against disease while also maintaining a healthy body weight. There’s also some fascinating scientific info featured in this episode, as we talk about the importance of optimizing our leptin signaling and how leptin dysregulation affects our appetite and weight. Enjoy this episode with the great Dr. Lustig and don’t forget to check out the B.rad Breather episode about his book, The Hacking Of The American Mind. TIMESTAMPS:Dr. Lustig’s bottom line is that processed food is killing us. [01:27]Leptin is the preeminent satiety, fat storage and reproductive hormone. [03:40]When Dr. Lustig went to medical school, what we now know about nutrition, was not taught. [06:02]Some of Dr. Lustig first research was with normal weight kids who got obese after treatment for a tumor. [09:32]Leptin was discovered in 1994 and found to be very involved in how our brain acknowledges hunger. [11:39]The kids in the study became more active and lost weight when they lowered their insulin. [13:43]Can we blame the profit seeking enterprises instead of the victim? The cause is high insulin. [17:31]How do we get high insulin? The modern Western diet introduced high fructose corn syrup in the 70s. [19:06]Obesity is biochemical rather than behavioral. [22:16]Healthy as a definition consists of six words: protect the liver. Feed the gut. [28:06]When you take in a lot of sugar, you are flooding the liver with fructose. [31:30]The gut needs fiber. [34:16]It takes about 20 minutes for the message to get from your intestine to the brain to say, “I’m satiated.” That’s why we say wait 20 minutes before your second helping. [37:43]Transcending the diet wars, the basic premise is to eat real food. [40:38]There is a bit of a problem with keto. Only the truly committed can manage a ketogenic diet for any length of time. There is also a problem with veganism. A vegan diet should be unprocessed vegan. [42:44]Depending on your biochemistry, you can find the right diet. Unify the force against processed foods is the starting point. [45:28]The industrial seed oils have Omega 6 and are pro-inflammatory and that drives insulin resistance. We also need Omega 3. [48:11]Is sugar food? What is the definition of food? Sugar inhibits normal growth. [51:41]There are eight sub-cellular pathologies that drive all chronic disease. [59:00]If we figure out the diet thing, we can potentially be playing tennis at age 110. How can we escape the clutches of the addiction to the wrong food?

In this part three show, we continue to highlight some of the most eye-opening and informative moments from past B.Rad interviews.We start with a clip featuring my favorite guest (can you guess who it is?) speaking about relationship dynamics, why emotional self-sufficiency is integral to the success of a relationship, and how to identify the markers of emotional maturity. Next, we hear Rip Esselstyn questioning the importance of diet over all other lifestyle factors–are our food choices really the #1 thing to focus on getting 100% right all the time, or would we actually be better served by putting in more effort towards balancing out the other areas of our lifestyle that need more attention and care? Next, some inspiration to keep our environments clean and clutter-free arrives with Gretchen Rubin’s revelation that clutter actually provokes a stress response in the body. We also hear a memorable clip from Seth Godin, who gave me one of the greatest, most life-changing pieces of advice I have ever received for productivity and focus, plus many more interesting insights on a variety of topics!TIMESTAMPS:Brad is highlighting some of his favorite shows starting with Mia Moore where they discuss what makes a healthy relationship. If you are emotionally mature as a couple, conflict shouldn’t be an issue. [00:01]Never use a complaining tone of voice. [03:23]Brian McAndrew points out that sometimes the rigid focus on diet is overemphasized. [04:16]Ray Sydney talks about how he changed his life when he became wealthy. [08:16]Seth Godin talks about how intensified competition can become. There is a need to learn to focus. [14:20]Gabby Reece talks about her marriage and how she handles communication. You have to learn how you are triggered, own it and make it safe for communication. [18:13]Laird Hamilton: never let your memories be bigger than your dreams. [23:07]Gretchen Rubin’s idea is that clutter will provoke a stress response that you aren’t even aware of. [26:37]Gretchen Rubin’s book The Four Tendencies helps you identify your personality type and how you pair with other types. [28:23]Dr. Paul Saladino explains why he is so sold on the carnivore diet and how vegetables and fruits are not beneficial and even may be harmful to some. [30:53]Debbie Potts talks about how to heal the imbalances and depletions that occur from overtraining and burnout. [36:12]Angela Mavridis compares her childhood healthy lifestyle in Greece with American culture. [40:04]Larry Sydney gave up his career goals for Olympic dreams in the sport of Skeleton. He talks about the lessons he learned in sport that applies to business.

Host Brad Kearns welcomes health coach and supplement expert Sara Banta to discuss some really far out healing protocols involving vibrational energy. Sara is a busy, high energy mother of teenagers, as well as a lifelong athlete, but her health went into decline after having children. When her young son developed some serious health problems, she felt compelled to depart from a promising career in finance and explore the outer limits of holistic, functional healing. In this episode, Sara describes the importance of “increasing your frequency” and boosting your immune function through a ketogenic eating pattern and targeted supplementation. This information will help address one of the major concerns for the aging population, which is hormone dysregulation caused by toxic environmental influences (EMF, air pollution, etc.) as well as insulin resistance caused by poor food choices. We also touch on topics such as toxic metals (how they get into our systems and the most effective way of detoxing from them), how environmental pollutants are taking a serious toll on male and female fertility, how to identify and treat the source of the problem (and not just the symptoms), and finally, why not all “healthy” food is actually healthy for you.Sara has had experience and success using alternative therapies to address everything from acne to insomnia to liver issues, heavy metal toxicity, mood disorders, thyroid issues, to so much more, so be sure to check out her website, AcceleratedHealthProducts.com.TIMESTAMPS:Sara’s turn from studying business and psychology took an about face when her health changed during her pregnancy. [01:22]When son became ill, he, too, had his blood put under a microscope. He was put on Accelerated Silver. [05:14]After having a concussion and feeling overwhelmed, Sara was introduced to keto. [08:38]What are frequency based enhancements? [11:39]Some of this sounds pretty goofy. How do you get people to consider this information as valid? [17:28]People are looking for a more natural solution to their health problems. [20:21]Toxic metal substances in the body… how does that happen? How do you detox from heavy metals and radiation?  [23:38]Airplanes flying overhead are polluting the environment. [28:51]All the pollutants in the environment are causing fertility problems. Men’s sperm count is about 50 % lower than a generation ago. Women’s hormones are not functioning well. [29:40]Not all “healthy” food is healthy for you. [34:04]The animal products have most of the nutrients that we are trying to get from vegetables. [45:17]Accelerated keto in the morning kicks her into ketosis. Her daily food intake and exercise create high energy and brain energy.

Today’s episode centers around essential but simple, actionable insights we can all easily integrate into our busy, everyday lives in order to optimize our life and state of health.One primary focus in this show is highlighting the importance of cultivating (and improving) our morning and evening rituals and habits to optimize all aspects of our health, especially sleep. You’ll learn about how seasonal changes alter the amount of sleep your body needs per night, the science behind why keeping your bedroom clean, sparse, and uncluttered actually leads to better sleep, and why 60 - 68 degrees Fahrenheit is the ideal temperature for your sleeping environment.You’ll also learn why it’s important to still go outside even on cloudy, overcast days, the adverse health consequences that come with prolonged periods of sitting/stillness, and the reason why our brains actually require downtime for optimal function.TIMESTAMPS:Getting the optimal hours of sleep is the basis of everything else in a healthy lifestyle. Have a slow-down ritual to prepare for bedtime. [02:26]The consumption of food is best in the daytime and your sleep environment should be dark and cool. [08:20]After a good night’s sleep, we are ready for a high energy morning, up with the sun. [10:30]Move more. Avoid long periods of sitting. [14:56]Reduce stress by meditating, doing yoga, taking a nap, and spending time outdoors. Learning to quiet the mind is a challenge in today’s world. [19:33]It is important to socialize. Put your phone down and talk to people. [24:15]Eat real food. Eliminate refined sugars, grains, and industrial seed oils.

Get ready for an extremely informative and interesting show all about glucose! We’ll be talking about the wonderful new technology of continuous glucose monitoring with dietician Molly Downey from the health technology company, Nutrisense.This episode breaks down the science and benefits behind Nutrisense, the fantastic technology that allows you to track your blood glucose levels over a sustained period of time. This is incredibly helpful as the data Nutrisense gives you shows you the effect of not just your dietary choices, but also how all aspects of your lifestyle affect your blood glucose levels. You’ll also learn why Molly says that if your cortisol is consistently activated, you’re going to have a lot of difficulty losing weight, as well as the importance of monitoring your postprandial glucose response.I’ve also arranged for an awesome 25% discount on any NutriSense program for B.rad podcast listeners. Just use the code BRAD25 at checkout or visit this link. And don’t forget to check out my previous show with Nutrisense co-founder Kara Collier here!TIMESTAMPS:With a tiny monitor and phone app, you can track your blood glucose. [01:35]There are many factors that affect our blood glucose levels. [07:58]Sleep and glucose have a bi-directional relationship. [11:25]It’s normal to see glucose rise while you’re sleeping; it is not necessarily a bad thing. [15:42]And with melatonin, there is a decrease in the secretion of insulin and also a decrease in insulin sensitivity. [18:56]Some people can tolerate eating a meal late at night and others cannot. [20:30]Stress is another factor affecting the glucose level. [23:51]What does an optimal glucose subject look like? Try to avoid the high spikes in the first place. [25:54]The focus needs to be on the post-meal responses. People react differently to different carbohydrates. [32:09]Molly developed many physical symptoms that doctors couldn’t define or treat. [34:27]Many people have no problem maintaining the baseline no matter what they eat. It is important, still, to monitor occasionally. [39:20]The optimal level is to be below 100, but there are other aspects to look at. [42:19]Molly suggests a return to baseline in two or three hours, which seems like a long time. [46:16]Protein and fat can often mitigate the glucose spike response. How does having an apple for a snack compare with having a soda? [49:00]When using the app, we can watch for dangerous dips and compare responses from the foods we eat. [51:51]What are some of the weird readings people have that are difficult to explain? [55:31]How does heat, dehydration, and a workout show up on your chart? [58:22]The dietary training certification allows for dieticians to continue their exploration with individuals and learn new data and not necessarily follow strict recommendations.

Time for some interesting Q&A from devoted B.rad podcast listeners.Thanks for the thoughtful questions and comments that make a great contribution to the overall enjoyment, knowledge acquisition, and community spirit with podcast listeners from around the world.  We’ll cover the logistics and benefits of limiting digestive function to a maximum time window of 12 hours (for example, how caffeinated beverages, herbal tea, and even supplement pills like multivitamins interrupt the fasting process), and how the body works most efficiently (in terms of cell repair, immune function, anti-inflammatory) in a fasted state. We hear from an old-time endurance athlete wondering about how keto aligns with endurance training, and also how to reconcile the enthusiastic voices promoting disparate dietary strategies, from plant based to ancestral. We talk about the validity of the one-mile time trial as an excellent longevity predictor at age 50 (Cooper Institute research), and the rationale and benefits for consuming a maximum nutrient density diet featuring forgotten gems like organ meats—or taking organ supplements if you can’t seem to include organs and bone broth in your diet. Send more comments and questions to podcast@bradventures.com!TIMESTAMPS:Raymond has a question about drinking water in that 12-hour fasting window suggested in the book, Two Meals a Day. Give your digestive system a break every day. [02:13]Your eating is tied to your circadian rhythm. You should think about trying to put the evening meal before dark when possible. [04:27]There are studies about “dry fasting” but that is for the extremely advanced. [07:22]Scott asks “Do you really think Keto is the way to go these days?” Brad compares the carnivore diet with the plant-based diet and asks the individual to experiment to decide what is best for them. [09:34]Consuming refined sugars, grains, and industrial seed oils is the biggest problem. [15:50]If you are going to go keto, be sure you get your electrolytes dialed. [18:44]If you under-consume protein, you are going to experience intense cravings for high-protein food. The same goes for carbohydrates. [24:26]Ewan is asking about his urge to run a mile after he has done his sprint workouts. He wants to go for time. [26:37]Ewan also mentions how he is eating liver and feels great. But use caution if you are eating raw liver or egg yolks. Brad talks about eating animal organ supplements. [30:00]LINKS:Brad Kearns. comBrad’s Shopping PageTwo Meals a DayHow to Improve Your Triathlon TimePodcast with Rip EsselstynChris Kresser on Joe RoganBrad’s Morning Routine Join Brad for more fun on: Instagram: @bradkearns1Facebook: @bradkearnsjumphighTwitter: @bradleykearnsYouTube: @BradKearnsWe appreciate all feedback, and questions for Q&A shows, emailed to getoveryourselfpodcast@gmail.com.
