The B.rad Podcast

In this episode, I connect with writer and podcaster, Brock Armstrong, to talk about the functional approach to fitness and movement he has formulated by drawing on his extensive experience in the fitness, movement and wellness industry. By utilizing his understanding of functional movement, endurance training, muscle building, and the ever-important balance between performance and health, Brock helps people all over the world achieve their goals and improve their quality of life. Brock always brings an exceedingly sensible and balanced perspective to the table, and this episode is no different (click here to listen to his previous interview on the B.Rad podcast). He breaks down how he has been using his background in Cognitive Behavioral Theory to help his clients, and reveals his recent discovery: he can actually make a much bigger difference for his clients if he doesn’t just give them a plan to follow, but instead helps them discover a plan of their own. Brock says, “Truth be told, most people know what they need to do – they just need some help figuring out how to actually do it!” TIMESTAMPS:Brock Armstrong is full of information on all areas of fitness, health, and helping people lose weight as well as coaching and providing mental health therapy. [01:35]Brock’s new podcast is called Upgraded Fitness.  He talks about people’s relationship with food and movement.  [05:06]Brock has learned a lot since he was a ballet dancer about the harm he was doing to his body. [07:51]After having an infection in his heart, Brock’s awareness of his anxiety over the illness, taught him some good lessons. [09:51]How does our mindset come into play with our concerns about diet and exercise? What beliefs do I have that are not serving me well? [16:08]Do you tend to take pot shots and see yourself as right and the others are wrong? Do you have all or nothing thinking? [25:21]Sometimes the question you have about your behavior is not the real question. [34:37]Ask why. Ask five whys. [39:11]When you have a goal, try things that you like to do.  Don’t force yourself to do something you don’t enjoy.  It won’t sustain. [48:30]When you have a cold or an injury, you need to stop what you are doing. [52:49]We all have beliefs whether we realize it or not. Ask yourself why?

What started as a Q&A show went off the rails with the very first question, as we accessed a portal to some of the most important overarching insights about how to properly structure a fitness program for life. You’ll learn about the common over-emphasis on cardio, how you can actually max your cardiovascular health and fitness with surprisingly little time, and how any workout delivers a cardiovascular training effect. You’ll learn the real secret to longevity and healthspan, which is to preserve functional muscle mass (and corresponding organ reserve) as you age. This entails performing brief, intense, explosive workouts — both resistance training and sprinting. By pushing your body to the limit, even briefly, you experience massive fitness adaptations and adaptive hormone response. This references great insights from Dr. Doug McGuff’s Body By Science. You’ll learn how micro-workouts sprinkled into your daily routine can help you meet your fitness goals and your critical health objective to move more throughout the day and avoid prolonged periods of stillness. This is a great show resource when contemplating a fun, sustainable and maximum return on investment for fitness efforts. TIMESTAMPS:Bob is asking about the Maffetone heart rate. Is there a heart rate you can kind of level off at as you get older?  [03:30]You can get a complete fitness workout in 12 minutes a week if you do it properly. Preserve your muscle mass. [12:16]The demands you place on your muscles are directly correlated to the demands you place on your organs.  [14:30]    Move frequently at a slow pace, lift heavy things, and sprint once in a while. You are better off toning things down and getting rest and recovery. [18:04]There are some do’s and don’ts to talk about. Forget about the 10,000 steps a day.  Shoot for 3,000 or 4,000 which is more sensible. [22:43]Prolonged sitting causes systemic inflammation, the root cause of most diseases. [27:10]Micro workouts during the day do a world of good.  You don’t have to have “exercise time” scheduled. [29:28}Put your body under resistance load. Sprint once in a while. [31:06]You can’t isolate the cardiovascular system, the heart and lungs from the rest of the body.

I welcome powerhouse Melanie Avalon to the show for a memorable conversation about all things relating to eating, weight loss, fasting, macronutrient ratios, and much more.One of the most interesting revelations from this episode is that a high fat/low carb diet and a high carb/low fat diet are actually both effective for fat loss, and Melanie explains what it is that makes these two opposing approaches work while being so seemingly different. We also talk about the danger of hyperpalatable foods, and you’ll learn what foods to specifically avoid when trying to lose weight. Melanie then offers illuminating commentary on the controversy surrounding excess protein intake: is it dangerous? Is it really going to restrict your lifespan and increase cancer risk? In this episode, you’ll find out all the answers to these questions, plus many more fast moving insights related to losing excess body fat in a healthy manner and making smarter food choices, as well as some cool biohacking breakthroughs.Be sure to check out Melanie’s podcasts: she hosts The Intermittent Fasting Podcast with New York Times best seller Gin Stephens, as well as the The Melanie Avalon Biohacking Podcast, where she interviews the world’s top experts on a myriad of health and wellness topics.TIMESTAMPS:Melanie will set you straight about all matters of losing body fat in a healthy manner. [01:40]Melanie discovered intermittent fasting after she tried many unsuccessful diets trying to lose weight. [05:25]We have to navigate through a lot of bad information. [15:06]Everything in moderation only works for a very few people. It depends a lot on your personality.  [17:26]Intuitive eating is great if you can do it. When you are in the store is when you can make or break your goals. [19:32]Set up your environment to work with your willpower. [22:52]Melanie does either low or high fat.  There is a question about pairing the two. [24:27]Whatever calories you eat, whether it’s carbs of fats is completely irrelevant. [28:37]Intermittent fasting gets rid of many of these issues. [32:41] There is some controversy about females being in a fasted state. [35:44]Is there a body composition where you just can’t fast? [43:57]Protein is the place to focus. [47:05]Melanie’s Biohacking podcast covers the things you can do in your daily life to upgrade your body’s performance.  [56:31]LINKS:Brad’s Shopping PageIntermittent Fasting PodcastMelanie Avalon Biohacking PodcastThe Paleo SolutionWhy We Get Fat Two Meals a DayBurnDr. Pontzer PodcastThe Search for the Perfect ProteinQUOTES:"Gluttony and sloth are not the causes of obesity.

Here we go with part two of compelling insights from Two Meals a Day.In part one, we discussed how 1) fasting is king, 2) the importance of becoming fat-adapted to receive the full benefits of fasting, 3) why when you eat is just as important as what you eat, 4) why three meals a day is a dated notion and why you must eliminate The Big Three (toxic modern foods such as grains, industrial seed oils, and sugar) from your diet, and finally, 5) the importance of emphasizing ancestral foods.In part two, you’ll learn about the origins of the three meals a day structure and why it’s no longer relevant or even recommended as a healthy eating pattern. You’ll also learn about why your brain and willpower are no match against hyper-palatable foods and how to trust your intuition and honor your natural hunger signal so you can eat intuitively and experience your meals with genuine enjoyment. I also talk about the creation of my Carnivore Scores food chart and why it’s optimal to choose the foods in the upper ranking system (aka above the steak line), and explain why there is absolutely no need to worry about getting in enough salads and kale when you’re consuming because animal products. Finally, you’ll learn how to incorporate (and enjoy!) indulgent moments in a way that doesn’t tempt you stray away from your healthy diet, as well as how to match your carb intake with your energy output.TIMESTAMPS:The idea of three meals a day is from the industrial age when our lifestyle was very different. [01:34]After you have cleaned up your act by ditching processed foods and emphasizing ancestral foods, your own intuition can be your guiding force that helps you decide how to eat healthy. [03:01]The animal foods trump even the best plant foods in terms of nutrient density.  [06:39]The variation in daily carb intake needs to be aligned with the energy output from exercise. [09:42]Dopamine is released to get us to pursue behaviors that bring rewards. [12:38]Don’t have nutrient deficient foods in your house. [16:28]Healthy eating is only one piece of the big picture for your lifestyle changes. Dealing with stress and getting enough sleep are important. [19:19]Keep moving. Don’t be an active couch potato. [20:47]Mindset is of critical importance. Cut out the BS and give yourself a break. [26:35]The calories you burn during workouts don’t really contribute to fat reduction. [28:24]    When you have accomplished the first eight ideas, you can adopt some advanced strategies.

Get ready for an intense and highly informative show that has the potential to transform your approach to high intensity workouts. Dr. Craig Marker is a leading kettlebell expert and a psychology professor at Emory University in Atlanta. In this fast moving show, we blend scientific insights with great practical takeaways about how to make your workouts more effective and less stressful. We are going to talk about Dr. Craig's landmark article titled HIIT vs HIRT. You'll learn the drawbacks of the traditional application of High Intensity Interval Training and the over reliance on the glycolytic (glucose burning) energy system, and the benefits of High Intensity Repeat Training. This is where you perform brief, explosive efforts and take what Dr. Marker calls “luxurious” rest intervals. You'll also learn about Dr. Marker's new discovery of what he calls “accidental hypertrophy” where he uses explosive exercise sets to build muscle and reduce body fat in a different manner than the arduous hypertrophy training practiced by bodybuilders. This show is full of great nuggets and fresh insights. You’ll learn why you should emphasize one-legged lower body exercises, and a recommended protocol for a sprint or explosive workout – with work effort duration, recovery interval, number of reps and frequency of workouts. Pay close attention at the end of the show where Dr. Craig discusses the “pendulum” concept for fitness and longevity. It will help you sort out lots of the confusion and dogma about fasting, autophagy and the supposed conflict between fitness and longevity that can be elegantly managed with a pendulum approach. TIMESTAMPS:Dr. Marker is going to tell you how to design a high intensity explosive workout that is best for you. [01:22]With kettlebell swing, moving it back down to the ground is helpful for explosive jumping. [10:07]Don’t go too heavy or too quickly with kettlebells. There are many workouts that are harmful. [13:05]It is so important to learn to do it right with plenty of rest in between. [15:17]There are potential drawbacks of going and doing these draining depleting workouts. When the glucose is tapped into, it makes you hungrier for glucose. [20:55]Even though you feel good after one of those heavy-duty training sessions, how you feel isn’t as important as knowing you are building the muscle fibers you need as you grow older. [23:18]Ammonia toxicity affects the brain’s neurons. [27:21]An ideally designed HIRT session would consist of a variety of exercises doing 20 seconds on and 40 second rest. You want it to be hard. [30:56]Earlier in the podcast, Dave mentions his goal of dunking the basketball.  What does his preparation look like? [39:15]What is the one-legged exercise Marker talks about? [42:45]Accidental hypertrophied condition program is a type of endurance training that builds up lactic acid. [44:10]We need to go hard to get the most fitness adaptations. What about anti-aging concerns? [53:05]Think of all of this as a pendulum and think of the stress factors in your life.  It can’t be done the same way all the time.

Today’s show will highlight some of the most fascinating insights from Two Meals a Day.In this episode, you’ll learn why our bodies work most efficiently in a fasted state and why fasting works only when you have eliminated processed foods, escaped carbohydrate dependency, and become adept at burning stored body fat. You’ll also find out why when you eat is just as important as what you eat and the “big three” toxic modern food categories that stimulate excess insulin production, inhibit the burning of body fat, and promote carbohydrate dependency. I also bring up the link between insulin resistance and dysfunctional fat metabolism, talk about the importance of emphasizing true ancestral foods, and explain why healthy modern foods like organic high fat dairy products and high cacao percentage dark chocolate are an acceptable part of any healthy diet.Thanks for listening and stay tuned for part 2!TIMESTAMPS:Two Meals a Day is a good way to look at breaking out pattern of unnecessary eating and snacking. [01:22]Snacking is damaging. Fasting is one of the ways to learn to control your diet. [03:16]Ketosis is not about stuffing your face with fat. [05:27]You have to proceed with caution because fasting is only sustainable when you have eliminated carb dependency and industrial seed oils. [07:18]Gluttony and sloth are not the causes of obesity. They are symptoms. [12:44]When you eat is just as important as what you eat. [15:39]Eliminate refined grains, industrial seed oils, sugars and sweetened beverages. These are addictive foods. [16:18]You can eat dark chocolate. [21:58]When you rid your pantry of the grains, sugars, and industrial oils, replace it with ancestral style foods. [25:14]Ancestral foods include meat, fish fowl, eggs, vegetables, fruits, nuts and seeds.

Get ready for a fascinating show with Dr. Joan Ifland, a leading expert in the very serious issue of processed food addiction.It is rare to find someone who is as knowledgeable as Dr. Ifland in the field of food addiction. Her textbook, Processed Food Addiction: Foundations, Assessment, and Recovery, provides the most extensive literature review on the subject – a valuable resource. She is increasingly recognized as the leading authority in addiction to processed foods, and is passionate about helping people understand why it is that they cannot get any semblance of control over their processed food consumption, and especially, why that loss of control is not their fault.Dr. Ifland is a scientist who also holds an MBA from Stanford, and in a breakthrough to understanding the source of obesity, zeroed in on how the tobacco industry has played a key role in taking control of processed foods and spreading processed food addiction. Check out her website here.TIMESTAMPS:People are getting hooked on processed foods just like smoking addiction. [01:37]Dr. Ifland’s background is unique…from business and finances to food addiction. [05:40]The food companies use the same tactics used by the tobacco companies to get you and the children addicted. [08:30]They alter children’s brain function in order to get them to nag their parents for those sugary products. [14:10]Studies show that the taste of sugar, fat, or salt reaches our brain in a half-second as opposed to any other drug which can take up to 10 seconds or 10 minutes. [18:40]These are mood-altering substances. One doesn’t realize that some of their physical ailments are caused by diet. [21:03]To see if you are addicted, get rid of these addictive foods for 30 days to see if you can do it. [23:57]You can’t control what your kids eat but you can give them the opportunity to experiment by controlling the environment at home. [28:19]Is there a threshold where we can enjoy sugar, industrial seed oils and such, or we are talking about zero tolerance? [30:55]Many dieticians work for the food industry. [34:25]It’s a vicious cycle. Stress activates the addiction. And the addiction activates stress. [38:29]Dr. Ifland has a community of people in recovery training to become peer support managers. [42:40]A self-quiz will give you an idea of how you stand in this addiction problem. [45:11]Can one be addicted to healthy things?

It’s time for some fantastic questions from B.rad podcast listeners! We start by talking about how testosterone blood values can fluctuate based on lifestyle factors and how Ancestral Supplements MOFO is actually a food supplement that boosts the nutrient density of your diet (along with other superfoods and superfood smoothies). This leads to me touching on the benefits of consuming liver, other organ meats, and bone broth, as well as how to deal with problems that arise when attempting to reduce carb intake for Paleo or keto dietary goals (hint: there are many ways to screw this up and furthermore reducing carb intake may not be necessary for many healthy, athletic types, especially fit females). Finally, a listener asks an important question: is a cheat day a good idea, or a bad one? This inspires me to consider a new idea: how about calling it a celebration day, with well chosen and fully enjoyed indulgences? Thanks for listening and if you have any questions or comments you’d like included in an upcoming Q&A show, click here!TIMESTAMPS:Brian asks, now that he is in his 50s and a retired triathlete, how does he stay fit in a new way? Do more explosive things and back off a bit. [05:26]Rick Mueller is asking about MOFO assignment number 10 which is “Quit being a dick to your wife or girlfriend.” Stay cool. [15:37]Amy Noble wants to know if you do a long run or workout at your maximum aerobic heart rate is bad.

“I’m not asking you to go do a workout. Just go move.”I welcome Dr. Stefan Zavalin, a movement enthusiast and work culture consultant, to the show for an informative discussion about the extremely important lifestyle objective of moving around more throughout the day.In this episode, you’ll learn about all the different ways our work culture and environment affects our physiology, as well as the most productive and efficient ways of breaking up periods of prolonged sitting. You’ll find out why it’s important to move every 20 minutes and why taking a short break for as little as even 30 seconds is still an effective practice, as well as the value of performing twisting movements to counteract the effects that come from sitting (and even standing!) at a desk. As I’ve mentioned before, there are countless benefits to taking movement breaks throughout the day, as it improves your blood flow, cognitive function, glucose tolerance, and insulin sensitivity.Dr. Stefan also describes in detail the ideal structure of a work day for someone who works from home, and takes us through his journey of completing a Doctorate in Physical Therapy while becoming legally blind, and explains how his company, Love to Move, aims to address the sedentary aspects of work culture and how we should evolve our desk jobs. TIMESTAMPS:This physical therapist is frustrated because so many patients keep returning for the same ailments. [01:32]First thing is to wake up in the morning and move! Then all day long, move your body every twenty minutes. [02:15]Where you work is so important. The desk area at the office as well as at home, need to be adjusted. [05:46]Our culture encourages us to sit rather than move. [07:11]The world average for the number of hours people sit is about 12 hours per day whereas in the US, it is more like 15 hours a day of sitting! [09:06]The goal should be to get movement every 20 minutes. Use your glutes. [11:22]To counter damage caused by sitting, just go move. Make sure you are twisting.  [18:03]Rather than saying “move more,” try saying “sit less.” [27:21]It is very important for employers to support your compliance with healthier activities. [28:59]If you feel like you need to take a break, you probably should have taken in a while ago. [38:08]Know that any position is helpful as long as it is not maintained for long periods of time. [39:03]We are told to stop fidgeting when we are children, but fidgeting is our body telling us it wants to move.  [42:10]How long should a person hold stretches? [44:55]The benefits of moving as soon as you arise from bed are more productivity, helping bone health, and blood circulation. [45:44]Parents need to be sure their kids are getting movement.  Some schools today are neglecting this important part of their purpose.  {48:49]Stefan had to deal with some health challenges while he was learning to be a physical therapist. [53:27]LINKS:    Brad’s Shopping pageStefan Zavalin_LovetoMove_Brad’s Morning RoutineYou, the Owner's ManualQUOTES:“A movement break and exercise are not the same thing.”“As best as you can, wake up, and go move. You’ve been lying down for six, seven, eight hours – just get up and move.” “Movement doesn’t have to be only exercise. I love using chores as movement, because then I get something done.” 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.

One of the most valuable insights gained from my informative show with Dr. Herman Pontzer was that we burn the same amount of calories every day, regardless of whether we work out or not.This revelation is nothing short of life-changing, as it allows you to see that pointing the finger at your output in the gym is just a waste of time, and that it’s far more helpful to look at our appetite and consumption habits in order to realize our body composition is mainly a function of how much food we eat. In order to optimize this concept, we must focus on the healthy lifestyle practices that offer the most metabolic benefits.This show will reveal the four major lifestyle mistakes that compromise fat burning, stall weight loss, and push you to carbohydrate dependency, as well as how to correct them. We’ll talk about how stressful modern life results in an overproduction of the stress hormone cortisol, which leads to, among other things, an increase in our appetite for more “quick energy” carbs, and we’ll also discuss how overly stressful exercise patterns do more harm than good by focusing on the way endurance and HIIT training can be exhausting and depleting for the body. You’ll also learn why you actually get lazier and crave more sugar when you train harder, as well as the reasoning behind Art de Vany’s warning of, “Don’t jog – it’s too dangerous.”You’ll also learn the important link between sleep quality and fat storage, cortisol and sugar cravings, as well as the consequences that come from having a dysregulated appetite. I mention how longitudinal studies of large population groups have found that sleep deprivation leads to insulin resistance, obesity, and elevated disease risk. One important takeaway from this show is that if you’re not well rested, you will drift into sugar dependency. You’ll also learn why learning to breathe properly helps with weight loss, and how to change the way you breathe to improve all aspects of your health.Finally, I touch on the importance of making informed food choices, citing books like The Hungry Brain: Outsmarting the Instincts That Make Us Overeat by Dr. Stephan Guyenet, Wired to Eat: Turn Off Cravings, Rewire Your Appetite for Weight Loss, and Determine the Foods That Work for You by Robb Wolf, and The P/E Diet: Leverage Your Biology to Achieve Optimal Health by Dr. Ted Naiman. Probably one of the most useful tips to remember when trying to drop excess body fat is that the combination of fat, sugar, and salt hijacks the appetite center in the brain, which leads to unregulated eating. Another is to make sure you are eating enough protein (and a lot of the time, this means more protein). Because it’s highly satiating and helps your body burn excess body fat, protein is the ideal food to consume when trying to lose weight. Also, be mindful of environmental triggers that cause you to overeat or stray away from your diet, and stay clear of eating at night! One last tip, and probably one of the most useful: check in with yourself and your emotions. Are you hungry, or going for instant gratification, a distraction, or a way to assuage emotional pain? Figuring out what’s really going on will help you identify the root cause, and sometimes, the issue is as much emotional as it is physical. Good luck and if you have any questions, send them here! TIMESTAMPS:We are going to talk about lifestyle mistakes that stall fat loss and how to fix them. [01:39]Stressful modern life causes us to be in chronically fight or flight response which is the centerpiece of overproduction of cortisol thereby causing a constant craving of sugar. [03:16]Learn to breathe properly through the nose. [07:03]If you sit even for 20 minutes without getting up and moving, you stop burning fat. [12:15]Harmful and overly stressful exercise patterns are emphasized in the fitness community. [16:08]Your organ reserve is directly correlated with your functional muscle mass. Do not overwork the heart. [25:34]If you mess up your sleep, you will have difficulty dropping the excess body fat.  [29:09]Two weeks of sleeping only four hours per night creates insulin resistance. [37:40]The highly palatable modern foods are most to blame for the obesity epidemic. It’s the combination of fat, sugar, and salt. [39:48]Our instinct is to extract as much protein from what we eat. [44:16]Focus your carbohydrate intake so that you can bank a lot of hours in the prioritized fat burning state. [47:54]Watch out for environmental triggers that tempt you. When you are tired, your willpower is diminished, it is easy to make bad choices. [50:11]Boredom or being emotionally upset can lead to looking for food to reach for.
