The B.rad Podcast

I have had it with the stupid diet wars, so it’s time for a rant and an episode highlighting the big picture perspective of leading a healthy, active, energetic lifestyle and the benefits of focusing on “perform, recover, perform, recover”—my new mantra, which should supercede all the arguing and nitpicking we do about the particulars of plant-based vs animal-based diets, etc.  This show was inspired by my friend sending me an innocent email reporting the results of a Stanford study that’s been getting a lot of headlines lately about identical twins who were each fed a different diet for eight weeks (one vegan, one animal based). I talk about the study in this show, including who funded the study in the first place (would you be shocked to learn it was a plant-based company?!), the importance of looking beyond headlines when it comes to health, and big picture insights that will help you navigate to the healthiest, most nutritious diet, and keep you on the path to longevity and disease prevention.    TIMESTAMPS: Brad is discussing the confusion over diet research and points out that maintaining your fitness, your functional muscle strength and your cardiovascular fitness is the most important intervention for longevity. [02:14] Brad’s mantra is to perform, recover, perform, recover. At the top of his nutrition list is elimination of processed foods. [09:15] There are many studies of micronutrient different foods helping you compare and contrast all the nutrient values of plant-based vs. animal-based foods. [14:13] If you consume less junk food, you will live longer. [17:11] How does one know if his energy system is out of balance? One of the main symptoms is the spare tire. [23:15] Brad has changed the routine he adapted earlier where he was delaying breakfast. If you are not in energy toxicity, your blood work is okay, you have a satisfactory body composition, and are trying to live a healthy, active, energetic life, there is no rationale to engage in fasting or restrictive eating strategies.  [32:06] Fasting is stressful but there are profound autophagy benefits as well.  The brain burns about 20% of all our daily calories. [37:51] Move more. Eat more. What exactly is a calorie that we are obsessing about?  [46:56] When you over-exert yourself, you get yourself into big trouble by kicking in very powerful compensation forces compelling you to overeat. [53:22] Human health and life expectancy have declined since the advent of civilization. [01:04:33] Sensitive people react to plant toxins and suffer from assorted autoimmune and inflammatory responses to those. [01:05:30] Brad has mentioned before how he always made green smoothies in the morning until he realized he reacted to the toxins in the vegetables. [01:13:07] If you are not eating leafy greens, how are you getting fiber? [01:21:28] Generally speaking, you are not getting enough protein when you are on a plant-based diet. [01:23:55] When talking about red meat versus chicken, fish, pork, and other sources of animal-based proteins, you need to understand where and how those animals are raised. [01:34:30] If you want to argue about the moral aspect of consuming animals, look at the statistics of cattle versus fish, chicken, turkeys, and others animals.

It’s important to understand how the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis works relating to the stress response, particularly how we abuse delicate fight or flight mechanisms in hectic, high stress modern life and laying overly-stressful training patterns on top of that. It’s important to understand the endorphin rush through the evolutionary biology lens of life or death repercussions, rather than get addicted to the rush and believe this is positive and healthy. When the HPA axis is abused, you have trouble getting out of bed in the morning and functioning normally, and can suffer from common chronic health problems including gut dysfunction, and adrenal and thyroid problems.    LINKS: Brad Kearns.com Brad’s Shopping page B.rad Whey Protein Isolate Superfuel - The Best Protein on The Planet!

It’s time for a rebroadcast of Dr. Tommy Wood content! I can’t speak highly enough about Dr. Tommy—he gives so much sensible, easy to understand health information, is an accomplished physician, researcher, and former head of the Ancestral Physicians Society—and in this episode, you will hear sensible and practical health tips from Dr. Tommy (as well as some of the science behind them) to help you optimize your sleep, stress management, diet, and exercise habits.  Enjoy the show!   TIMESTAMPS: This rebroadcast is with Dr. Tommy Wood who is an expert in Ancestral health. [00:46] Dr. Tommy’s current job is in research neonatal brain injury as well as studying the fact that 80 to 90 percent of Western population has the beginnings of metabolic disease. [05:35] The majority of people are aware of the information that is out there for better health practices, but just don’t do anything about it. [07:05] It is very difficult for people to make a change even when they know the facts. How can we initiate change toward a healthier population? [10:04] What have we learned from the extreme edge of the pursuit of optimal health? [14:06] When Brad was doing keto, he was fasting and realized he still wasn’t as fit as he wanted to be.  Tommy’s advise was to eat more food. [17:59] Caloric restriction does work in terms of longevity and across multiple species, but it is not universal. [24:23] If you are struggling to reduce excess body fat, advice is to get metabolically healthy first before restricting carbohydrates. [29:55] Do EMFs have a biological effect on our mitochondria? [32:20] Cell phone in your pocket lowers sperm count. [35:30] How does a person get motivated? [37:52] After a serious bite injury from a venomous snake, Tommy’s recovery took a long time. Months passed before he could get back to his fitness regimen. [39:34] When people take supplements in hopes of enhancing longevity, how do they know if it is making a difference? What do the blood tests really say? [46:09] About 80 percent of people in the US have at least one of the markers of metabolic syndrome. Testosterone levels vary with age and health issues. [52:32] The Carnivore premise makes a lot of sense but there are some questions that arise. [59:20] We have built an environment that completely removes our ability to adapt. [01:04:08] If you have no autoimmune or inflammatory conditions and want to optimize longevity, what kind of foods should you be looking for? [01:10:04] There is no right answer as to the diet. Everyone is different and basically the scientists cannot tell you. Just get off the junk food.  [01:16:30] Eat food that looks like food.

In this episode, you will hear some big picture insights about overreaching and overtraining. You will learn about the various symptoms of overtraining so you can become more aware and able to take corrective actions when these symptoms appear, why it is so essential to learn how to cultivate an intuitive approach to training and why intuitive training can often lead to breakthrough workout experiences, and the benefits of utilizing visualization techniques.   LINKS: Brad Kearns.com Brad’s Shopping page B.rad Whey Protein Isolate Superfuel - The Best Protein on The Planet!

In this episode, I share my recommendations for blood testing for health, disease screening, and peak performance with particular relevance to fitness-minded males who want to age gracefully. Unfortunately, typical screening is just scratching the surface and there are many flawed and dated misconceptions about mainstream medical system blood screening and disease risk factors,  so I wanted to talk about which tests I recommend, counter some of the misconceptions and misinterpretations about this topic, and share commentary from highly respected ancestral health leaders like Dr. Cate Shanahan, Dr. Ron Sinha, Dr. Peter Attia, Dr. Paul Saladino, Dr. Gabrielle Lyon, and Dr. Layne Norton. After listening to this show, you will come away with a better understanding of your test results and also with an understanding of how you can take more control of your blood testing. One way to accomplish this is by ordering tests directly and getting results via the Internet—I have done this myself for many years by testing my male hormone profiles frequently and tracking the results against my lifestyle practices (hint: overtraining tanks testosterone). Enjoy this episode, and feel free to share it with any cardiologist so he she can reply ‘who dis clown?’”   TIMESTAMPS: Brad has done much research on blood tests. His knowledge and personal experience, brings solid information we all should be aware of. [00:45] The blood test results you typically get from your doctor don’t go very far. [01:51] Any talk of your “good cholesterol is good” and your “bad cholesterol is bad”, is coming from someone who is 40 or 50 years behind the emerging research. [03:39] The triglycerides to HDL ratio is the single most important marker for heart disease. [05:31] There are some things to analyze on your own blood report. Ask for fasting blood insulin. And test your body composition for free. [12:14] As you age, it is important to focus on the sex hormone panels. Testosterone is an extremely important hormone. [19:20] Vitamin D technically is a hormone rather than a vitamin. It is important for cancer prevention. Learn about proper sun exposure. [27:04] Some other important tests are hemoglobin, hematocrit, and iron. High blood viscosity is a red flag.  [33:30] Fasting glucose and HB A1C levels can predict what your blood sugar is like. [37:19] A quick analysis of your waistline is to look at the waist to height ratio.  The waist in inches should be half of the height in inches. [41:20] Colonoscopy and mammograms are important but you need to beware about false positives and the stress they cause. Insist on thorough EKG. [43:20] Blood pressure is something you can monitor at home. There are many causes of high unhealthy blood pressure that can be handled by changes you can make.  [48:12] In summary, stay on top of your blood readings, especially if you are an active athlete. Testosterone is especially important as you age. [49:30] Brad talks about handling illnesses naturally rather than depending on prescription medications which mask the symptoms you are experiencing.

It may not be everyone’s favorite subject, but we’ve got to talk about overtraining because of how important it is to have a heightened awareness and pay constant attention to your stress/rest balance—otherwise you will make the same, all too common mistakes most people do and will plunge into the spirals of overreaching, overtraining, and full-blown burnout. An overly stressful approach unfortunately can and will compromise the many benefits of leading an active, energetic, fit lifestyle, and this is true even when the exerciser feels strong and energetic and makes quantifiable progress with fitness goals. Understanding the delicate nuances of the fight-or-flight response to exercise can help prevent overexertion in the first place. Gaining a complete understanding of the symptoms and imbalances associated with the temporary state of overreaching (the predecessor to overtraining) and full-blown overtraining can help coaches and athletes navigate these treacherous waters with aplomb. More shows ahead with details about this important topic!   LINKS: Brad Kearns.com Brad’s Shopping page B.rad Whey Protein Isolate Superfuel - The Best Protein on The Planet!

I am so excited to introduce a unique and super interesting, lively, talkative guest—Ato Boldon! Track & Field fans will recognize Ato since he is one of the fastest humans of all time who competed in the Olympics back in the ‘90s representing Trinidad and Tobago (he also has eight global medals). After retiring from elite competition, Ato transitioned into an amazing and lengthy career in the broadcast booth and he has worked as the lead broadcaster for NBC Track & Field for 17 years. I am not kidding when I say I consider him to be the single best commentator in the world in any sport, and it was actually because of a Track & Field event I attended (the Diamond League Finals in Eugene, Oregon) that I was able to connect with Ato since I happened to bump into him on my flight! Thanks to that event, I was able to connect with him and interview him about his life and career: growing up in Trinidad and Tobago and later, New York and California, how he never lost a single race to another collegiate athlete, the injury and car accident that cut his athletic career short and how he transitioned into his second, still fulfilling career, the preparation and focus that goes into being a great broadcaster, coaching elite athletes and NFL players, and more!   TIMESTAMPS: Even if you are not a track and field fan, you will enjoy Ato Boldon, one of the world’s most accomplished athlete and sports broadcaster. [00:45] Ato has an interesting story to tell about his rise into the sport. [04:07] Some young athletes do not start out with the natural talent or physical features necessary to become champions. [08:34] It is difficult to know or see what potential there is in a young athlete. [12:24] Ato’s formative years as an athlete were in the US.  What would his story have been had he stayed in the Caribbean competing with those runners? [16:38] It is difficult to be a professional in the sport of track and field. The competition with the world’s best is important, even more so than the color of the medal. [20:41] Sports is about overcoming what life throws at us. [26:47] How do the athletes’ times from a generation ago compare with today’s? Shoe technology has much to do with the new records. [30:20] Usain Bolt has a reputation of being lazy in training rather than wisely resting more. What are Ato’s thoughts about Usain? [34:18] Seven Steps, Drive Phase, are examples of coaching on running form in 1995. [39:07] Ato’s career took a sudden turn after injuries sustained in an auto accident. He talks about learning to be a broadcaster. [41:32] What does the future schedule look like for Ato?

Listeners, you know how much I love to talk about sprinting and recommend adding sprinting (truly explosive, all-out, maximum efforts) to your training regimen for all the wonderful health, fitness, and longevity benefits that accrue—which is why it was such an extreme privilege to welcome Lion Martinez to the show. Lion happens to be the fastest human who has ever lived over the age of 45 and he has broken more than a few world records (such as a 10.72 world record in the masters 100 meters championship in 2023). He is dominating the sport right now, and also coaches a group of master sprinters and young, elite sprinters near his base in Stockholm, Sweden. Every person in his group has set personal best in successive years—not a surprise when you learn about his very scientific, methodical approach to sprint training.  The episode with Lion gets a little technical at times as we discussed some of the science of the energy systems and the parameters of training and recovery, but he did a wonderful job explaining this in a way everyone can understand, and all athletes and fitness enthusiasts will get a lot of value out of hearing some of these important principles—especially how to integrate explosive, high intensity workouts into your training regimen, and most especially, how to do them correctly so you don’t pull a hamstring or get injured!   LINKS: Brad Kearns.com Brad’s Shopping page B.rad Whey Protein Isolate Superfuel - The Best Protein on The Planet!
