Elle Russ: Taking Control Of Your Thyroid Health

3/24/2023
It’s always a pleasure to connect with Elle Russ—we’ve been podcasting together for years, and we’re hitting it hard in today’s show because we have some important topics to discuss.

Brad: The Fake, Ridiculous, Dangerous Goal of Mt. Everest

3/17/2023
The inspiration for this show came after I saw a very well-produced documentary series called “Everest: Beyond The Limits” that’s available on Amazon Prime.

Everest guided expeditions over three seasons, and the cinematography is so beautiful that it makes you feel like you are right there on the mountain with the climbers. One of the most entertaining and emotion-stirring aspects of the show is watching the astonishing idiocy of...

Breather: Diet Tips For Natural Testosterone Optimization

3/14/2023
This breather show is all about natural testosterone optimization. This is such an important topic of interest for aging men, but also for young men too since the most recent research on this topic has been pretty disturbing—the average testosterone level for men aged 15–39 (the peak hormonal years) has been dropping by 1% per year since the 1980s! This is alarming because testosterone levels indicate a lot—your general state of metabolic health, physical fitness, performance and recovery...

1/31/2023
The ancestral health movement has exploded over the past decade and more, and while it’s wonderful to see people raising their awareness of our genetic expectations for health, one thing has been on my mind a lot lately, which is this obsession people have with the ancestral model and how this can possibly be taken to the extreme and deliver adverse results.
