In this episode I discuss the importance of focusing on your personal health journey rather than comparing oneself to others.
I emphasize that everyone's wellness journey is unique and that comparisons can lead to unrealistic expectations and decreased motivation. Instead, listen to your own body, identify personal health struggles, and focus on consistent improvements over time.
At the end of the day, your health is about you. Progress doesn’t happen overnight, but each small, consistent improvement gets you closer to living your best life.

Episode 355 - Chronic cardio: The silent killer of your fitness goals!
Season 4 · Episode 355
Tuesday, May 7, 2024 • Duration 07:27
In this episode, I discuss the concept of chronic cardio and its negative effects on the body.
Chronic cardio refers to overly stressful cardiovascular workouts that are conducted at rates that are too high and without sufficient rest. This pattern of exercise can lead to overuse injuries, chronic fatigue, and compromised health and weight loss goals. The primary stress hormone cortisol remains elevated for long durations, suppressing immune function and hormonal balances.
I would recommend the Phil Maffetone method, which involves training at a heart rate below your maximum aerobic function threshold. I also suggest incorporating resistance training and occasional intense workouts for optimal health and results.

Episode 293 - Higher HRV = Better health. Here's how to improve yours 🚀
Season 3 · Episode 293
Tuesday, October 3, 2023 • Duration 10:52
This week I am discussing HRV (heart rate variability) and how it can be used to help optimize your daily performance and health.
HRV is a measure of the time between heartbeats. HRV measures vary by person and over time, fluctuating based on lifestyle choices and lived experiences, from stress levels to sleep patterns, exercise habits, and levels of physical exertion the body, day-to-day.
Paying attention to changes in your HRV trends over time is also a way to track the success of lifestyle interventions like fitness routine or dietary changes. A rise in HRV shows that your efforts are paying off, while a drop in HRV could indicate that further adjustments need to be made.
Using a Whoop or Oura Ring would be one way to understand your HRV trends. These wearables could be useful but I don't recommend always relying on technology for your health trends. What are some ways to improve your HRV?

Episode 95 - Eliminate This One Thing!
Season 1 · Episode 95
Tuesday, October 26, 2021 • Duration 09:10
Over the years, Big Food was able to convince us that snacking was not only acceptable, but it was also healthy! A whole new category of food was created and it needed to be cheap and easy to eat. So most snacks consist of crackers, pretzels, cookies or anything that is a refined carbohydrate. Sugar and flour was the perfect match for snacking because it never spoils and can be eaten on the run!
The pattern of the increase in snacks throughout the years was a great money maker for Big Food companies which increased the risk of insulin resistance. Insulin resistance requires 2 things - high levels and persistent levels. High levels of insulin are provided by refined carbohydrates found in snacks. Persistent levels are provided by the increased eating opportunities.
Insulin resistance is the ultimate outcome of all this snacking. Instead of a balance between the insulin dominant (fed) state and the insulin deficient (fasting) state, we now spend most of our time in a 'fed' state. And you wonder why we gain weight?
Try eliminating snacking and eat 3 satiating meals. If you have the urge to snack, wait, take a drink of water, tea or black coffee (no sweeteners) and let the hunger wave subside!

Episode 277 - What's the Difference Between Omega 3 and Omega 6 Fatty Acids?
Season 3 · Episode 277
Tuesday, August 8, 2023 • Duration 08:58
This week I discuss the difference between Omega 3 and Omega 6 fatty acids and what role they could play in your health. There are some conflicting views regarding PUFA's so I recommend you do your own research, self experiment and come to your own conclusion.
Omega-3 fatty acids are a group of polyunsaturated fats that are essential to the human body. They are composed of three main components, EPA, DHA, and ALA. EPA and DHA (found in fatty fish, shellfish and some algae), which are the most important forms of Omega-3 fatty acids as they’re easily absorbed by the human body and support numerous bodily functions, including heart and brain health. ALA, on the other hand, is found in a range of plant-based foods, including flaxseed, chia seeds and nuts like walnuts.
Omega-6 fatty acids are also polyunsaturated fats and are found in a variety of foods, including plant oils (such as corn, sunflower, soybean, and safflower oils), nuts and seeds. The main omega-6 fatty acid, known as linoleic acid, is considered to be essential in our body, and it supports a variety of functions, including stimulating skin and hair growth, supporting the transport of nutrients throughout the body, and maintaining a strong immune system.
I believe a good rule of thumb is to not cook with the Omega-6 fatty acids because they become oxidized and create inflammation in your body. Stick to cooking in the more stable saturated fat because they are extremely resistant to damage, and they aren’t converted to dangerous compounds.
Jay Feldman is against any PUFA's while Dr. Bill Harris believes Omega 3's are beneficial in every way possible. I will leave links to Jay's article on PUFA's and Dr Harris' research on Omega 3's below. I recommend listening to my interview with Jay and my interview with Dr. Harris in order to come to your own conclusion.

Episode 45 - Are you Challenging Your Brain?
Season 1 · Episode 45
Tuesday, April 27, 2021 • Duration 06:01
As you age it’s important to understand that you can generate new brain cells - learning new things, gaining skills, being in unpredictable situations or challenges can trigger neuroplasticity and neurogenesis. More importantly, doing so has a range of other important benefits, including improving mood, increasing memory formation, and preventing the decline associated with aging.
Different areas of the brain can be challenged by different tasks.
Prefrontal is improved by puzzles, chess, or meditation.
Temporal lobes can be improved by memory games and musical instruments.
Parietal lobes by logic games and/or juggling.
Cerebellum is improved by yoga, dancing, and coordination games like tennis.
Pick one thing that you have been wanting to do and commit 10-20 minutes per day to do it.
Find a Creative Hobby. Don't focus on the amount of time you practice at first, but rather aim for consistency. Devote what time you can, but be firm with your commitment.
Create Artwork - Painting, mosaics, or pottery are options
Learn an Instrument - I have been taking piano and devote 20 minutes per day with one 30 minute lesson a week.
Learn a new language - Take a class or do it at home (i.e. Rosetta Stone)
Getting weekly lessons will also help your progress and keep you on track.
