Balancing Peak Performance With Longevity, Part 1 (Breather Episode with Brad)

This two-part show is all about how to strike an optimal balance between peak performance goals and longevity. I talk about the most effective and appropriate adjustments you can make to your fitness routine as you age and the numerous benefits that come from broadening your perspective on training and how this can help you make smarter choices that support healthy aging. I also share some of the lessons I’ve learned throughout my personal journey in endurance sports when it comes to walking that delicate line between passionately pursuing fitness while also being practical enough to set realistic goals.Stay tuned for part 2!TIMESTAMPS:We are going to talk about the balance of your goals of peak performance and longevity. [01:59]Pursue peak performance with passion throughout life. Set age-appropriate goals. [03:45]There is a greater prevalence of devastating consequences of long-term extreme endurance training. [08:31]Where did we get the 26.2 miles goal for the marathon? Where did the Ironman originate? [10:30]Brad’s personal journey in endurance sport began between age 21 and 30. [14:20]After some unexplained injuries, Brad learned to recalibrate his physical condition and fitness goals. [20:02]Brad had emergency medical problems to which he attributes his overly stressful exhaustive training. [27:54]Especially when you are in the 40 plus age group, most fitness programs have workouts that are too long and too difficult for most people to benefit from.

Best-selling author John Assaraf returns to the show for an insightful, motivating, and educational conversation about how to unlock the incredible power of your amazing brain and the theme of his annual event, Brain-A-Thon, this year: how to change your brain to change your income.As one of the leading peak performance experts in the world, John knows everything there is to know about creating a winning environment that sets you up for success. In this episode, you’ll learn how to mitigate the fact that 95% of our behavior is because of our current habits, how to make sure rejection doesn’t adversely affect you, and most importantly, how to change your brain to change your income. You’ll also hear about great advice on effectively overcoming things that hold us back in our lives when John shares the secret of how he helps people achieve permanent results in everything from weight-loss to procrastination.I’m also so excited to mention that this year’s Brain-A-Thon is happening SOON, on Saturday, October 23rd.

[01:42]The topic of this year’s Brain-a-Thon is change your brain, change your income. [06:36]What is it around weight loss that causes most people to lose weight and then gain it back? [08:18]    When establishing a habit, consistency is more important than intensity, complexity or duration. [12:17]We need to understand how to work with our brain instead of against it. [16:28]Change your thinking, manager emotions, put the right behaviors in place and create the right environment. [21:28]The natural reaction of our brain when we are outside our comfort zone, is resistance. [23:36]We need to acknowledge the subconscious programming from our childhood and ask, is this really serving me? [28:04]When you say you don’t have enough time, think again.  You work 40 hours a week. Sleep 50 hours a week.  You have 78 hours left to do what you want! [28:48]Understand your relationship to money. [31:32]What is an example of wanting to change from scarcity to abundance? [36:21]Most people’s thoughts are limiting and negative. [38:45]Desire, hope, prayer, wishing, imagination, in most cases does not change behavior long term. [43:41]There’s almost no goal that we can't achieve if we are committed.

MOFO Mission Assignments 6-10 (Breather Episode with Brad)

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.

Steven Sashen: The Beauty Of Barefoot Living (And The Fallacies Of Footwear)

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.

MOFO Mission Assignments 1-5 (Breather Episode with Brad)

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.

Dr. Mark Cucuzzella: Staying Fit In Your 50s And Understanding Heart Disease Risks

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.

Dr. Robert Lustig: Metabolic Effects Of Processed Foods And Transcending The Diet Wars Once And For All

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?

Highlights From The B.rad Podcast, Part 3

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.

[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.

Sara Banta: Health, Hormones, and Vibrational Healing

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.

Back to Basics Life Optimization Insights Inspired by Dr. Tommy Wood (Breather Episode with Brad)

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.
