The B.rad Podcast

“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.

You’ve been lying down for six, seven, eight hours – just get up and move.” “Movement doesn’t have to be only exercise.

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.

A variety of interesting questions tee up some epic monologues from an enthusiastic host. We talk about broadening fitness ambitions over a lifetime to branch out away from a narrow focus on triathlons - with much health, hormonal and longevity benefits. We also examine why MOFO Mission Assignment #10, Quit Being A Dick To Your Wife/Girlfriend, made the list. Then I get a super tee-up to discuss in detail the benefits of taking freeze-dried animal organs, such as the testicle, prostate, heart, liver, and bone marrow contained in Ancestral Supplements Male Optimization Formula with Organs. Beyond the ancient ancestral tradition of like supports like, we have modern science to confirm that animal organs have the distinct proteins, peptides, enzymes, co-factors and molecular biodirectors to optimize the function of the corresponding organs in humans.TIMESTAMPS:Jim Johnson asks about the Male Optimization Formula maybe causing decline in testosterone. He wants to know if he should cycle on and off MOFO. [02:19]Tuning up your diet and focusing on physical achievements is the way to go. Your blood work can fluctuate. [05:57]Eating animal organs from 100% grass fed cattle is recommended. Brad tells about his spectacular healthy smoothie that keeps him strong. [09:46]A good suggestion from CJ is asking Brad to put his Macadamia Masterpiece nut butter blend into squeeze packaging so he can take it on the way. Also, he asks Brad why they keep running out of the delicious nut butter. [14:42]Are there some ideas for quickly prepared but healthy lunch meals for a quick out-the-door, no time guy? [18:17]Joey is asking about his wife’s struggle with trying to eat low carb or paleo. She’s okay for a while and then never adjusts. Make sure she is eating enough nutrient dense food. [19:40]Yosef suggests that Brad’s Macadamia Masterpiece be made Kosher. He also asks about having a “cheat day” once a week. Brad prefers the term “Celebration Day.” [25:22]LINKS:Brad’s Shopping pageAncestral SupplementsKeto Cooking for Cool DudesFatty Popcorn Boy SagaTwo Meals a DayJoin Brad for more fun on: Instagram: @bradkearns1Facebook: @bradkearnsjumphighTwitter: @bradleykearnsYouTube: @BradKearnsWe appreciate all feedback, and questions for Q&A shows, emailed to getoveryourselfpodcast@gmail.com.

Dave Rossi returns to the show for an inspiring and insightful conversation about meditation!The Imperative Habit author is back to discuss the life-changing benefits of meditation – something I admit he has been urging me to incorporate into my daily routine for a while now. A big fan of silent meditation, Dave explains why he emphasizes the importance of quieting your mind and simply letting thoughts come and go over using apps to guide you through the experience. You’ll learn about why consistent meditation can make happiness a reality instead of a fleeting concept, and we also talk about why it’s optimal to operate from a place of devotion instead of just trying to go off willpower (which, remember, is a finite resource). We wrap up with a discussion about the Law of Attraction and the role meditation and gratitude play in experiencing successful manifestations. Hopefully Dave’s enthusiasm for this powerfully effective practice will inspire you to start meditating too – it certainly has inspired me to make time for it! TIMESTAMPS:Meditation is the thing that's going to take you away from the racing thoughts and the envy and the guilt and the things that set us back. [01:30]Silent meditation lets you unplug all those “to do” thoughts gathering in your mind. We need to practice not thinking. [05:47]Silent meditation is the power of your brain working for you, not the power of your brain processing the information of the world. [12:59]No special equipment or time set aside needed.  All you need is a chair. Ignore the noises in your head. [18:35]You can practice not reacting. [24:23]We often learn helpful techniques and then forget to use them.  Practice doing new ways of meditation. [26:33]When you practice unplugging your brain, you’re turning off all of that mentation. You’re saying, stop stress, stop anxiety, stop depression, stop worry, stop doubt, stop low self-esteem. [31:32]How does the practice of meditation connect to goals such as diet or exercise when life gets in the way? [34:28]The things you want don’t require will power. They require devotion. [36:36]You have the power to make choices over the biological urges of your body. [38:14]The mental chemical production of stress is way more harmful than what you eat. [43:37]Reality is your choice of beliefs. Emotions vibrate at a certain level. [44:43]Desire becomes a fear because you think you need something to be whole or happy. [53:58]Spirituality is a more advanced word for being civilized. [55:22]Our self-worth isn’t going up or down depending on what people think. [58:17]Rossi talks about his course in meditation.

In part three, we get into the last two practices and habits that either hurt or help testosterone: relationships and exercise patterns.Relationships play a huge role in the quality of both your physical and emotional wellbeing, and this show reveals the most effective relationship tips from experts like John Gray and John Gottman. You’ll learn about why John Gray advocates for going with the flow and never being reactive, the #1 thing men need to protect their partner from (the answer may surprise you!), and why arguments have a depleting effect on testosterone levels. You’ll also learn how your hormones are positively (and negatively) affected by the types of workouts you perform, how to do explosive workouts correctly, the harmful effects of chronic cardio (causing male hormone levels to tank, promoting fat storage, suppressing immune function), and the importance of performing physical work for strength and resilience.TIMESTAMPS:Since the 1980s male’s testosterone has been dropping steadily at a rate of 1% a year. [01:41]In your relationships, learn to be the Kung Fu Master staying calm, cool, and collected. [03:58]There is a level of potential destruction when you choose to engage. Even if you say “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean it?”, it can’t be taken back. [08:25]Relationships are designed to make you happier, not to fill a void. Think about what you have to offer, rather than what you get out of it. [10:10]You are either a team or not a team. [11:33]The exercises you do and how you do them affect your testosterone level. [13:16]If you slow down in many ways, you can get healthier and faster. [15:01]You don’t have to do chronic cardio to be in shape. It’s better to do explosive bits. [19:37]Challenge your muscles to maximum output and then you are through. [24:38]You must do these exercises correctly or risk injury. [31:23]It’s a good idea to do the MAF test to see if you’re keeping the suggested heart rate as you measure your performance. [34:30]Even the top performers in athletic endeavors can have a bad day. When that happens it is very likely they have overdone it in their training. [36:39]You should also monitor your energy level at rest.

Get ready for a unique and interesting show with my former podcast guest, Jake Steiner! Jake and I were recently talking about how much content is out there in the podcast world, and how easy it can be to fall behind, as it can get pretty overwhelming trying to keep up with the massive amount of information that is constantly coming out. This conversation inspired Jake to come up with the idea for this episode: what if we did a show featuring only the most fascinating information from past episodes, so people could get inspired by a wide range of insights from a diverse pool of guests?! Jake ended up being the perfect co-host for this show. Not only is he such an interesting guy, but he is also passionately dedicated to his great movement with endmyopia.org, and in this episode, we get to know him a little better, especially by the end. It’s a different kind of show, featuring a wide variety of insights from all kinds of interesting people like John Assaraf, John Gray, Mark Manson, and Dr. Herman Pontzer, so I hope you enjoy listening to some of the most memorable moments we’ve had with guests on the B.Rad podcast.TIMESTAMPS:Brad is picking out tidbits from his memorable podcasts with the encouragement of his guest. [01:34]We need to take a new look at how we deal with our eyesight. A little bit of blur, a little bit of challenge keeps the eyes fresh and responsive. [08:03]John Assaraf, on his podcast with Brad, talked about goal setting and getting out of your own way. [11:20]The roles of women and men have changed over the years creating new dynamics in relationships. [17:31]    The way we find partners is so drastically different these days. [30:46]Self-worth is an illusion. And it's actually a form of persistent low-level narcissism. [32:27]We burn the same number of calories every day no matter if we are exercising or not. [44:21]All the different dietary theories boil down to one thing:  Get rid of the junk foods: processed foods, refined carbohydrates, refined sugars, grains, and industrial seed oils. [54:14]sIt is easy to be caught up in purchasing things when trying to keep up with others.

In part two, we dive into the most important sleep and diet tips that will help you boost testosterone.The biggest takeaways are to minimize screen use as night approaches, and to keep your bedroom as dark as possible. You also want your sleep environment to be as mellow and quiet as possible. And while screen entertainment is undeniably fun, let yourself rethink the choice to wind down at night with screen time. What are some alternative options you can do instead? I suggest reading, doing a nighttime yoga routine for flexibility and mobility (there are tons of free ones on Youtube!), taking the dog out for some air and activity, calling a friend to catch up and experience some live social interaction, taking a walk around the block, or journaling. That TV show or whatever it is you wanted to watch on TV will be on Youtube forever, so you might as well use this precious evening time to truly wind down for bed.I also touch on the importance of a clean diet and talk about the list of things everyone should eliminate, such as inflammatory, oxidative junk food, refined seed oils, sugars, and grains. Another major thing to watch out for is the hyperpalatable pairing of sugar and fat together – sure, it tastes great, but nothing will make you gain weight faster! Finally, there’s nothing like the power of superfoods like organ meats or supplements. I talk about my latest smoothie concoction, a superfood blend that keeps me full for hours, and elaborate on how supplementing with organ meat pills has made everything, from athletic performance to recovery, better.If you want to re-energize your body at the cellular level and trigger a natural boost in testosterone production, check out Ancestral Supplements Male Optimization Formula with Organs here for more details and a special product discount. TIMESTAMPS:As we age, we have much less margin for error in some of the things we used to do when we were younger. [01:37]Getting sufficient sleep comes down to the battle with screen entertainment versus a more relaxed ritual at bedtime.  [03:09]Block the blue light with protective lenses that are UV rated. It’s important to get the oranges, reds and yellow colors going at night rather than offensive blue and white lights. [05:16]Just looking at a pile of clutter of unfinished projects will provoke a subconscious stress hormone response. [10:33]The bedroom should be completely dark. [11:15]You really shouldn’t have to get up at night to pee. [14:12]Expose your eyes to sunlight first thing in the morning….not staring at the sun, of course. [16:14]You need to cool down your body temperature to have a deep sleep. [19:13]The first and foremost priority for a better diet is a total elimination of inflammatory oxidative junk food, starting with the refined industrial seed oils. [22:51]The hyper-palatable foods like those with sugar and fats together, encourage you to eat what is unhealthy. [27:19]Don’t worry about whether you are paleo, primal, carnivore, keto, etc. With the knowledge you have gained about diet, personal preference is choosing clean foods in a diet that work for you.

In this episode, Dr. Ted Naiman simplifies all of your health and weight loss questions by offering a unique and powerful message that will help you drop excess body fat and optimize both your diet and exercise program.Dr. Ted talks about his book, The P:E Diet, which suggests a simple solution for weight loss by cutting to the chase: look at the protein to energy ratio in your diet. As Dr. Ted reveals in this show, this is the secret to optimizing caloric intake, dropping excess body fat, and building and maintaining lean muscle mass. It’s quite simple: it’s all about satiety per calorie.Dr. Ted has also gained invaluable experience through his work as a family practice physician, because he understands that the average person needs simple but effective (and easy to follow) solutions for weight loss and health goals: “My passion is really making diet and exercise as accessible to my patients as possible.” Enjoy learning all about the P:E Diet, and if you want to follow Dr. Ted on Instagram, click here!TIMESTAMPS:The protein to energy ratio is the secret to optimizing your caloric intake and dropping excess body fat. [01:32]Humans, just like all animals, have a protein leverage phenomenon that we are mostly unaware of. [06:17]The obesity epidemic has two parts to it: Protein dilution and the addictiveness of the high energy density carbs and fats together. [09:10]You can either choose to exercise less and weigh a lot more, or weigh way less and exercise a lot more. [11:17]It is almost impossible to eat too much protein. The real secret is satiety per calorie. [14:26]How does a smoothie from Jamba Juice of 400 calories differ from a 400-calorie smoothie you make at home with high protein ingredients? [23:14]There’s a time factor that can make you hungrier unless you have some protein with glucose. [26:14]You want your carbs at the very end of the meal. Protein is the center of the diet.  [28:10]Pair your carb intake with high intensity workouts. Be careful how you shave down the carbs. [30:19]Since the dawn of agriculture, we’ve been fattening up animals so the protein percentage is lower. [38:22]What is the simple minimalist exercise strategy? [41:59]If you are in good shape, fairly active but you want to take off some pounds, what is the best way to go? Focus on protein.

Today we’re talking about the very relevant and important topic of boosting testosterone in the face of all the obstacles and toxins modern life poses.Research has revealed that the average testosterone level of today’s male has been dropping at a steady rate of around one percent per year from generations past, and in this show, you’ll find out what the cause of this is, and more importantly, how you can avoid it. I discuss the effect all that artificial light and digital stimulation (especially after dark) has on our bodies and hormone levels, as well as what causes certain men to develop an excess of breast tissue.Even though it seems like the average, modern male is turning into a flabby, floppy Mr. Softie, you do not need to go down this path, even though it is a slippery slope. From sleep to exercise to relationship conflicts, every part of our life affects our health, and this show will give you all the tools you need to boost testosterone naturally.TIMESTAMPS:The average testosterone level of today's male is dropping at a rate of around 1% per year from generations past. [01:52]We are exposed to environmental estrogens by being surrounded by electromagnetics, using mobile devices, and being exposed to plastics. [03:27]Many lifestyle behaviors have an impact on the declining testosterone. [04:11]If you take testosterone through exogenous means like shots or pellets, and then do not make healthy lifestyle changes, you’re not going to get results that you want. [07:30]Optimizing healthy lifestyle practices is the best way to promote male hormones and minimize risk factors that surround us. Sleep is number one. [11:05]We have to optimize our evening sleep habits, and that starts with a mellow, dark, quiet, calm, relaxing evening. Plan your downtime to lower stress. [13:20]Number two is junk food. Get rid of processed foods and look for the most nutrient dense foods. [16:32]Relationship conflict, anger, resentment, arguing, and nitpicking are huge testosterone killers. [21:59]Doing the wrong kind of exercise is a testosterone depleting situation. Have some extensive low- level movement every day. A work block of 30 minutes is plenty.

Today we’re talking about dating and the true secret to romantic success with a real expert, Connell Barrett, author of the book Dating Sucks, But You Don’t.This show offers a ton of unique and interesting insights (even if you’re not single and on the dating scene) that will help you build confidence and open your eyes to the ways we can all improve our interactions with people.A long time prominent golf writer turned dating coach, Connell used to be shy and lonely, and totally dateless. Living in the friendzone. But then he finally found a woman who liked him, and they got married.She dumped him nine weeks later. And Connell knew it was time for change. He went on a five-year long globe-trotting quest to understand the art of male-female connection, and now, he can fix any dating problem (perhaps because he’s already had every dating problem?!). During this show, Connell talks about his book, Dating Sucks But You Don’t, the essential guide for men looking for love, and shares the true secret to romantic success.You’ll learn about why looks just don’t matter (Connell says that good looks are like jacuzzis: “nice to have but way overrated”) and this also goes for other myths about attracting a great girlfriend, like height, money, or a 6-pack. Connell talks about why consent is sexy, and then gives some helpful tips for anyone navigating looking for love in the time of #MeToo (he also points out that for men with integrity and good intentions, dating today is easier than you might think.) We also have a great discussion on how to handle anxiety when meeting people in real life in the time of internet dating, and Connell shares his foolproof method for overcoming “approach anxiety.” Connell has appeared on Access Hollywood and the Today show, and has been published in Maxim, Cosmopolitan, Oprah Magazine, and Playboy. He’s also the official dating coach for The League — an exclusive dating app for high-achieving singles — and an advisor for AskMen and EliteDaily. Connect with him on Instagram here.TIMESTAMPS:Dating problems occur at some time for all of us.  This dating coach brings some interesting insights. [01:34]Getting out of the “friend zone” can be a struggle.  [05:06]    You cannot fake or force the chemistry between two people.  [12:16]Radical authenticity is showing the real you and showing how you are feeling. [17:40]If you are traumatized from your previous relationship breakup, you need to do some work on yourself before you start dating. [22:12]Rather than focusing on her attractiveness, think more about talking, being open. [28:55]When Connell is coaching, he takes the client out for on-site training. [30:25]Connell talks about his real-life journey from a broken marriage to dating coach. [33:44]We have to embrace rejection.  It isn’t as bad as we think it is. Just do not reject yourself. [36:23]What can women do to up their game? [37:56]Women are attracted to guys who have confidence. [42:24]Golfing and dating overlap. If you don’t have confidence you can rely on courage. [44:00] Why is approaching women so hard? Learn if she rejects you, you are still a man.     [48:07]The pandemic affected the singles scene. On-line dating is okay, but we are meant to interact in person. [54:09]    How does a person know they are just settling? Have an abundance to choose from. [57:07]Our current generation approaches this dating/marriage situation differently than our parents’. [01:00:49]Your online dating profile should be very authentic.
