Shawn is one of the world’s leading health experts as the bestselling author of Sleep Smarter and host of the #1 rated Model Health Show.
The first part of the discussion is about foot functionality. Shawn mentions the emerging research on how minimalist shoes can address the cause of foot dysfunction, “nourishing and rehabilitating our feet.” Then describes the awakening he has experienced using Peluva five-toe minimalist shoes, with increased proprioception and ease of movement.
Then the show gets personal, as Shawn describes how his journey to becoming a health leader took shape. Growing up as an athlete in St. Louis, MO, Shawn suffering a serious injury on the running track and discovered that he was severely malnourished and had a degenerative bone disease. With his athletic dreams compromised, he lost hope, endured further suffering that included his mental health and putting on a bunch of excess body fat, and had to start from the bottom to turn his life around.
Shawn’s struggle included having to reject mainstream medical treatment and a “poor me” attitude and discover a path to health on his own. Shawn’s grandma gets a huge plug here, and you will be touched by Shawn’s emotional recount of how he turned the corner and truly saved his life.
You’ll also learn that Shawn’s malnourished youth was not some bizarre bad luck, but rather the norm in modern life today. Shawn cites research published in JAMA that kids today are eating 70% ultra-processed foods; the situation worsens with low socio-economic conditions.
Shawn tells us the main ways we are still screwing up our health, even with lots of great information and awareness today. He urges us to prioritize sleep and take bold steps to optimize health. It starts with controlling your use of digital technology, forming an empowering attitude where you place health #1, creating a winning evening ritual, and more.

TIMESTAMPS:
The wonderful cushiony shoes you are wearing feel terrific because they dull your sensations. [07:45]
When you get into the Peluvas, it is important to start slowly, making sure your feet that have been stuffed into shoes have a chance to adjust. [16:43]
At 20 years old, Shawn was diagnosed with degenerative disc disease. [20:00]
A 20-year study found that about 68 percent of America's children's diet consists of ultra processed foods. [21:29]
Shawn could not imagine spending the rest of his life with the pain he was experiencing, so he began to research for a solution. [25:48]
The most overlooked aspects of exercise is that it increases assimilation. [29:03]
He began to understand how important his sleep and the proper nutrition are to his recovery. [30:40]
Sleep impacts people's nutrition and general health. [36:11]
Even though there is much information available for people to be informed on sleep and nutrition, we are still falling behind. [38:54]
Shawn has suggested 21 tips for better sleep. One of the most important is the evening habit of being on screens. It interferes with your circadian rhythm and melatonin. [42:24]
Having a cool bedroom is very important. [52:01]

In this episode, I’m diving into some fascinating research and sharing my own opinions for a fun, insightful show about longevity and living to 100 years old. It is amazing to think there are 722,000 centenarians alive today, but only 219 people who’ve made it to 110. I think genes affect your potential to live to 110, but most of us should form the empowering belief that we can sail to 100, if we just get out of our own way. Reference my previous show, Longevity Science is Wrong—Don’t Succumb to BS Commentary and Self-Limiting Beliefs.
In this episode, I explore how lifestyle factors like staying active, managing stress, and keeping a positive mindset are key to longevity. We’ll also touch on the surprising traits that many centenarians share—things like emotional awareness and optimism—and how they contribute to a longer, healthier life.
So, join me as I unpack some longevity stats and challenge you to embrace the belief that living a long life is within your control. Oh, and stay tuned for a fun surprise at the end—a little freestyle rap from my 60th birthday party earlier this year!
TIMESTAMPS:
The United States is rate4d 35th in world ranking in longevity statistics. {00:54]
For the first time in recorded history, those of us in the younger generation have a lower life expectancy than that of our parents. [02:45]
Surprisingly, according to the UN there are 722,000 people in the world right now who are over the age of 100. There are more women than men in that bunch. [07:06]
Does genetics play a role in life expectancy statistics? [10:21]
There are three kinds of resilience that are connected to longevity: cognitive resilience, economic resilience, and personal resilience. [17:11]
Loneliness is a huge factor in all age groups. [21:48]
Your heart and lungs working well will help mental acuity. Dementia statistics show 50% have symptoms. Walk your way into better brain health. [28:05]
Lifestyle studies have shown centenarians tend to share personality traits: a positive attitude and emotional awareness. [34:07]
If you think you have genetic predisposition for something that you can prevent, then you don't have to follow that history. [39:37]
To stay youthful, you gotta do things right. [43:28]

Enjoy this second show with Alex, where we left the mic on after our interview emphasizing his book, The Explorer’s Gene, and started talking about Mark Sisson and my new book, Born To Walk.
We planned to have a “friendly debate” about the book’s premise that running is a bad idea for most people. Alex, as a longtime runner, had a much different basic notion—that running is a rich and meaningful form of enjoying recreation, physical fitness and health.
Well, there were no fireworks during our talk, but rather a nuanced discussion of the benefits of running when you do it correctly. The best takeaway from Alex is: If you are able to run and recover from running workouts, it’s great. But of course you must avoid overtraining.
Enjoy our discussion and please check out Alex’s excellent column in Outside magazine online called Sweat Science.
Visit alexhutchinson.net for more details.
TIMESTAMPS:
Alex, a long time runner and promoter of endurance running, brings his perspective to Brad as they discuss the book Born to Walk. [00:46]
Alex is not as worried about the dangers of training at too high a level. [09:30]
There are no magic bullets for dropping excessive weight. [14:31]
Don’t be under the impression that running a marathon is the path to better health. [16:49]
If you have aches and pains after running, don’t run more. It is not going to make your pain better. [18:25]
A 10K would be an amazing achievement for the average generally inactive person. If they worked hard and prepared properly for six months, it'd be all a celebration in every direction. [21:02]
The longevity research is pointing toward attributes like your strength training regimen. [24:09]

Please enjoy my B.rad podcast conversation with Alex Hutchinson, the world’s leading science-sport journalist and NYT best-selling author of Endure.
The occasion is the release of his long-awaited next book, titled The Explorer’s Gene, and in this much-anticipated follow-up to Endure, he refutes the myth that, in our fully mapped digital world, the age of exploration is dead. Instead, the itch to discover new things persists in all of us, expressed not just on the slopes of Everest but in the ways we work, play, and live.
The Explorer’s Gene combines riveting stories of exploration with cutting-edge insights from behavioral psychology and neuroscience, making a powerful case that our lives are better—more productive, more meaningful, and more fun—when we break our habits and chart a new path.
Alongside our deep dive into The Explorer’s Gene, we also enjoyed a lively and friendly debate about my latest book, Born to Walk, sparked by Alex’s unique perspective as a long-time runner and promoter of endurance. Spoiler alert: we have lots of common ground, so it’s a peaceful, enlightening discussion; my favorite take away from Alex is: “Running is fine, as long as you recover from workouts.” You will hear his thoughtful critiques and insights, helping to clarify the message of the book while reflecting on the value of endurance pursuits—like why training for the mile might be more beneficial than pushing for a marathon.
Alex Hutchinson is a National Magazine Award-winning science journalist and Outside magazine’s longtime Sweat Science columnist. Before journalism, he was a postdoctoral physicist and a long-distance runner for the Canadian national team. Check out his website here.
TIMESTAMPS:
Modern technology has an impact on our hardwired drive to explore and be creative. Intelligence is going up and creativity is going down. [02:14]
Why are we drawn to explore different horizons? [06:02]
We athletes need to change our approach when our goals change. [12:41]
What are the effects of aging on athletic performance? [16:24]
Alex explains the inner drive that makes us push ourselves to such a degree. [26:29]
This trait varies from person to person. [31:36]
If you have one person choosing what to look at, and the other person being shown the same thing as the person who's making the choices, the person who's active learns more than the person who's passive, even though they're being fed the same information. [39:23]
Brad and Alex talk about the process of beginning to write a book. When and how does the research come about? [44:06]
How is ChatGPT influencing writing? [48:08]

Welcome to part five of the B.rad podcast highlight series!
In this episode, we dive into the juicy, interesting, and possibly controversial topic of diet. You will hear quotes from some of my favorite guests and key moments over the years, focusing on my “meat and fruit” lifestyle—the animal-based, protein-centric, nutrient-dense eating style that I’ve honed through years of experimentation and immersion.
We’ll revisit my first interview with Dr. Paul Saladino from 2019, when he was first starting to rise and drive the increasing popularity of the carnivore diet movement, plus hear compelling insights from other experts. If you want impactful, eye-opening quotes on diet, protein-centric eating, and the animal-based approach, this episode is a must-listen!
TIMESTAMPS:
Animal organs, nose to tail, are the most nutrient dense foods in the diet. [00:50]
Plants are the backup foods. Plants have defense chemicals that can be toxic depending on your sensitivity. [03:16]
Fruit is the least objectionable type of food. The longer you cook something, the more you degrade the nutritional value. [09:26]
If you do have a history of digestive distress or an assortment of autoimmune or inflammatory conditions, it is highly likely that you can draw a correlation to the foods that you consume in your diet. [15:03]
Try an experiment on yourself if you have any digestive discomfort. Eat just steak, salmon, and eggs for a week or two. See if your diet should change. [16:53]
Much information about ancestral nutrition has come from studying the Hadza. [18:55]
We have to make a clear distinction between natural nutritious carbs and the nutrient deficient, heavily processed carbs, [21:47]
Fasting periods will result in greater nitrogen loss no matter how fat adapted you are. [28:25]
Timing of food goes hand-in-hand with timing of being asleep and awake. [30:13]
“You simply will not get fat if you eliminate processed foods.” (Dr. Robert Lustig) [32:26]
Jay Feldman says: “If we were to evaluate the use of interventions like ketogenic diets, calorie restriction, or intermittent fasting, we would see that they're generally a terrible idea because they're disastrous for energy production.” [37:15]
If you are going to take supplements, get the very best, highest quality, highest potency, least objectionable form. [42:37]
We humans can have issues like mental health that relate to our diet. [45:53]
Be aware of the stress impacts of what you are doing with fasting or cold plunge and such activities. [47:42]
If you buy the 2 or 3 dollar chocolate bar, you are no doubt supporting child labor and ripping off the farmers. [51:56]
The body has a natural, deep-seated biological drive to survive. And its most prominent dietary need is to consume sufficient protein. [57:03]

I welcome Michael Brandt, co-founder and CEO of Ketone IQ, to the show for a conversation about supplemental ketones!
Ketone IQ offers supplemental ketones, or ketones on the go, for an instant high performance energy source. I have talked about the ketogenic diet for many years, writing many books with Mark Sisson about the amazing benefits of the ketogenic state for anti-inflammatory and immune boosting and antioxidant and protein sparing, and the keto diet has risen to popularity and become a huge fad. However, it is a little difficult to adhere to this extremely strict dietary protocol to limit carbs to the extent that you force your liver to make ketones internally. So a wonderful breakthrough in high performance supplemental technology is the availability of consuming what they call exogenous ketones—outside source of ketones—directly for athletic performance recovery and improved brain function. I have been excited about this technology for many years now and tested these products out over time, and while Michael does talk a little bit about his product, this episode is not really a commercial show. You will hear about the benefits of ketones in general, and we also talk about his own high performance athletic training, athletic training regimen, and how pursuing these daunting goals that we put up there with our competitive aspirations carry over into all aspects of daily life.
I hope you enjoy this conversation, which ended up being a really interesting one centered around being the best you can be and learning about this exciting, cutting edge intervention for your training, which is supplemental ketones. You will hear all about my experience using this product on my Cactus to Clouds hike, how I felt an immediate boost in mental clarity, as you often hear about people talking about when it comes to following a ketogenic diet. If you’re an athlete, it is a really useful supplement because it plays an important role in athletic performance by keeping your brain engaged and well fueled so that your body can work as best as it can—there’s a reason why he’s got Tour de France athletes using them, as well as Ironman Legends, and MMA fighters. It’s really cutting edge stuff and I think you're going to get a lot of value out of it and probably want to try the product. If you do, I have a special discount for you and I think you'll be pleasantly surprised at how effective supplemental ketones are. The Ketone IQ product is a special type of formulation called a ketone diol that has a longer lasting duration in your bloodstream. I think it’s a great product, one I use a lot myself, and I welcome the idea to learn more about it. Enjoy this episode with Michael Brandt, a former marathon runner with such an interesting story to share, who founded Ketone IQ on the heels of getting a huge grant from the United States government to research the benefits of supplemental ketones for soldiers.
Michael Brandt (@michaeldbrant) is an avid triathlete and marathoner, and co-founder and CEO of KetoneIQ. A lifelong student and leader of designing products around new technologies and emerging needs. Prior to starting KetoneIQ, he received his BS in Computer Science & Design at Stanford, was a Product Manager at Google, and Adjunct Professor at the Academy of Art in San Francisco, California.
TIMESTAMPS:
Ketones play an important role in your training regímen by keeping your brain well fueled. [01:03]
How did Michael get into creating the ketone supplements and how did it affect his performance? [04:24]
Your body learns and gets better. You don’t need to slam yourself. [07:58]
Everyone, even the top athletes, should have a coach. [13:33]
Let your intuition guide your training rather than follow a strict planned schedule. [19:01]
Ketones are a source of caloric energy. You have better mental clarity. [25:25]
The brain is the central governor and needs glucose around the clock. But then what about your muscles? [35:29]
How do you use Ketone IQ in a day-to-day manner? [39:37]
Brad found a tremendous boost in his energy and mental clarity when he used it on the famous Cactus to Clouds hike. [43:32]
Tour de France riders use this to keep up their endurance. [47:41]

I have a great discussion to share with you from Philip Pape, the host of the Wits and Weights podcast.
I had the pleasure of joining him on his show, and he was a really sharp guy with some nice, focused, and quantified insights about how to lose excess body fat the right way. If you visit witsandweights.com, you'll see some nice free offerings of his free metabolic assessment, nutrition coaching, nutrition guides, and some great content at the Wits and Weights podcast.
In this episode, you will hear us discuss the fitness industry, what he's doing, and the always popular topic of trying to drop excess body fat. Phillip stated what I believe to be a life changing insight about weight loss by saying: it all starts with strength training. You have to work on building muscle in order to succeed, even with dietary transition, because if you don't, you're going to fall into old habits—you're going to get hungry, you're going to want to chomp on something. As you will learn in this show, when you start working hard on strength and resistance training, you are going to have muscles actively taking glucose in from the bloodstream and replenishing the larger muscle, the more muscle mass that you build, as well as recovering from the workouts where you are burning glucose in the workout, burning glycogen, and then replenishing stored glycogen. What an interesting and very simple takeaway—that it's not just about locking in on your diet, watching your portion sizes, and all the things that we've been programmed for so long to think is the main starting point to getting the physique that you dream of. It starts with hard work and pumping the iron.
We also have a fascinating conversation in the middle where we talk about this theme that I've talked about on the podcast often—the fully fueled approach to fitness and longevity, where you're eating more food, moving more frequently, recovering faster, and living longer. This topic came up as Phillip was describing a gaining phase that he goes through in his training where he's doing some strenuous workouts, the hypertrophy style workout, and deliberately and systematically consuming more calories over a sustained period of time, whether it's a month or six weeks. And during that time period, what a surprise!—he has more energy, he's more active, he’s tapping his foot more at his desk and feeling great and recovering and building muscle. So I think it's a nice reflection on the importance of fueling yourself with natural, nutrient dense food exclusively, and then getting to work and working those muscles. That is the path to not only getting off that stubborn, excess body fat that might have been sitting there even when you're doing hard work on your diet, but to opening a new portal and exposing yourself to new possibilities. Enjoy this show with weight loss and fat reduction body composition expert Philip Pap of the Wits and Weights podcast.
TIMESTAMPS:
Philip Pape talks about the best way to lose weight is with strength training. [00:56]
When you start the program with Philip, you start with self-awareness of how much you are eating, what you’re eating, the composition of there food and the movement and the training you are already doing. [08:41]
What is the muscle centric approach? Burning calories is not the best way to lose weight.
[11:14]What is the biggest offense to healthy living and longevity? [16:05]
When you have a lot of muscle mass on your body, or you're stimulating the muscles in a
workout, the glucose is going into the muscle to refuel and replenish. [19:34]How’s it that a person can have good muscle mass but still need to lose weight? [21:52]
Philip explains how and why he purposely gains weight as he is trying to put on more muscle. [23:22]
The consumption of more calories is fueling a more ambitious training regimen. [31:37]
How does one deal with the struggle of reducing excess body fat when they have been “doing all the right things?” [37:17]
Steady state cardio is touted for weight loss. How does that compare to lifting and just moving more every day? ? [40:13]
How important is the HRV monitor? [56:35]
Just getting started, you don’t have to have a big gym-full of equipment. [01:02:26]

Welcome back to another highlight show!
In this episode, we continue our series of relationship tips and insights from some experts I’ve interviewed over the years. You will hear from Dr. Wendy Walsh about the top 3 qualities men and women seek (qualities that are based on deep-seated wiring, that we can’t ignore or reject), advice from Jillian Turecki on the right and wrong questions to ask while dating, why we can make bad decisions during the first two years of a relationship, why we downplay negatives and red flags, and what happens when we get too stuck on rationality. Got relationship problems? They likely stem from your own issues—your own personal life problems, self-esteem issues, etc.
You will also learn what 7 things destroy attraction and hear wonderful insights from Mia Moore, who highlights the adverse effects of becoming socialized to believe that relationships are mainly about hard work. Mia discusses how life experience, including both positive and negative aspects of past relationships, can frame one’s perspective and personal growth for future relationships. Another important part of relationship health? Parenting. If you have kids, don’t make the (common) worst mistake most parents make (putting kids before the priorities of nurturing a loving partnership)!
Mia mentions the “cheerleader” concept of relationship dynamics: Do you want a mature, authentic, dynamic adult relationship with conflict, frank discussion, negotiation-compromise-resolution, or do you just want a cheerleader to stand by and cheer you on?
According to Mia, you can have both—a cheerleader and an authentic partner, and you will also hear some great applicable tips for healthy communication—recognizing and avoiding passive-aggressive dynamics, the power of dismissive language, being aware of how you use “but” in the middle of a sentence, developing the ability to listen more and talk less, how to allow for healthy venting without going overboard, the importance of working on emotional control and sensitivity, and more!
TIMESTAMPS:
What are the qualities we are looking for in a partner based on our biological wiring [00:46]
It is important to be authentic. [05:16]
What should you talk about when first dating? [06:25]
People that look good on paper, might not be a good match. [07:44]
The chemical attraction is there, but sometimes we make bad decisions. [10:59]
Don’t downplay red flags that you may notice. [13:15]
Be comfortable around each other. You don’t have to dress up or put on an act. [14:09]
There are seven things that destroy relationships. One is stress. [15:31]
Master your inner voice, and you master your life. [16:17]
Are relationships really such hard work? [19:58]
There are helicopter parents and lawnmower parents. How does that effect your relationship? [23:32]
Do opposites attract or is a better match with someone who is more aligned with your behaviors and values? [27:06]
As we get older, we get set in our ways. [29:58]
Say something once and have the expectation that your message will stick. [30:50]
Do you say “whatever?” Using “but” in the middle of a sentence usually negates what you said before. [31:47]
Resolve to listen more and talk less. No one learns anything by talking. (Confucius) [36:10]
Think about what kind of partner you want? [41:06]

In this episode, you will hear about the many benefits of creatine—widely known for its role in muscle building and athletic performance.
Recent research has highlighted its potential benefits for cardiovascular health: a 28-day study demonstrated that creatine supplementation led to a 1.4% improvement in blood vessel function, a change associated with a 13% reduction in the risk of cardiovascular events like heart attacks or strokes. Participants also experienced a nearly five milligram per deciliter drop in fasting blood glucose levels, and a significant 17 milligram per deciliter decrease in triglycerides, both important markers of heart health. The dosing protocol in the study involved an initial loading phase of 20 grams daily that's separated into four five gram scoops for five days, followed by a maintenance dose of five grams daily for the remaining 23 days. Another study showed that just seven days of high dose creatine, 20 grams daily, improved artery stiffness in older adults, a key risk factor for cardiovascular disease.
In this show, you will learn just how creatine works to support heart health beyond boosting energy production. Because creatine increases cellular ATP levels, creatine acts as an anti-inflammatory and antioxidant supporting vascular tone and endothelial function. It also energizes blood vessels, helping them maintain their ability to expand and contract for optimal blood flow. While creatine is not a substitute for exercise or a healthy diet, these findings suggest it could serve as a valuable addition to a heart healthy lifestyle. Unlike many medications, creatine offers these benefits with minimal risk of side effects. Whether you're focused on improving athletic performance, cognitive function, or longevity, creatine's wide ranging benefits make it a supplement worth considering. From supporting muscle strength to promoting better heart health, creatine is emerging as an all around powerhouse for enhancing overall wellness.
Consider adding five grams daily to your routine for long-term health benefits. If you haven’t tried supplementing with creatine before, it has zero flavor and dissolves super easily into beverages.

Let’s talk about VO2 max—a laboratory cardiovascular performance test that began rising to prominence in the mainstream medical, fitness, and biohacking communities in the 2010’s as an excellent way to measure general cardiovascular health, disease risk, and longevity potential.
It’s great to see the integration of performance-oriented metrics into wellness and medicine, and in this episode, I tell you all about VO2 max, its ability to predict your longevity, why some say it’s a superior way of predicting longevity, as well as why it can, in some ways, be overrated.
In this episode, I discuss all aspects of the VO2 max test—what it is, what it means, how to train for it, and how it rose to prominence, despite being a key performance metric for endurance athletes to predict competitive potential for decades.
I explain how the VO2 max test works (by measuring your amount of oxygen usage as the test gets increasingly harder), why most cardiologists are now touting VO2 max as superior to anything found in bloodwork, EKGs, and other routine screenings, the insights about your health that you can learn from taking the test, why the VO2 max test can be overrated, why the performance metric Running Economy is considered a better predictor of competitive success than VO2 max in elite running circles, the reason why VO2 max scores vary between men and women, and more!
TIMESTAMPS:
VO2 Max is a fantastic marker for overall health and longevity status. It measures the maximum amount of oxygen you can consume per minute when performing near maximum effort. [00:46]
A low VO2 Max is a huge red flag for your being fit. [05:46]
Once you get your VO2 Max up to a good level, it ceases to be an important measurement. [07:42]
Rather than go to the strenuous Four by Four workout, Brad recommends putting your time in at a comfortable heart rate to build your aerobic system. [08:41]
What is a good VO2 Max? [11:33]
There is a way to prolong a long healthy life and that is to avoid the nutrient deficient junk foods and move your body frequently. [19:36]
Texas A&M did a great study to measure the performances of 50 year olds running the mile. If males were unable to break 12 minutes and females unable to break 13 minutes, they were at high risk. [22:14]

Please welcome my good friend, Tania Teschke back to the show!
Tania is the author of the book Bordeaux Kitchen, which by many accounts is the best book ever written in the ancestral health scene—it is an absolute encyclopedia of healthy living, French food, wine, and culture. She has studied under some of the finest chefs and sommeliers and brings you the full scoop in this episode with all kinds of tips about nutrition and health, including a discussion about the integral role animal organs have played in not just French cuisine, but in many different cuisines around the world.
This show will inspire you to bring organ meats back to your routine dietary patterns, and we talk about the value of the cultural aspect of food in France, as well as the importance of being mindful of what you put on your skin and Tania’s wonderful product line, The Bordeaux Kitchen. I’ve been using her lip balm and deodorant for the last few years and they’re all fantastic. When you think of all the offensive chemicals in mainstream beauty and body products (especially the ones that contain endocrine disrupting chemicals), it’s such a relief to know that there are skincare and cosmetic products formulated with clean ingredients, that work well, and are easily available on Etsy.

Susan Bratton, the sex expert, is back for this episode and she brings the heat as usual. Please listen to our first show where we talked about all things sexuality and received her many tips and tricks and exciting stories getting you fired up to improve your sex life.
But in show number two, I thought we would start with the idea that a lot of couples are less than their best in this category these days. Susan took that ball and ran with it and rattled off 5 main reasons why sexual intimacy could be faltering in your love relationship, and you will hear her share three awesome tips to help you revive your sex life and the best way to regain lost intimacy in your relationship.
Be sure to also check out all the free course material, downloads, and videos Susan has available on her website—she really does give quite a bit to the community, has helped so many people, and has become a good friend of mine. She really is so caring and interested in helping people improve their relationship.
Susan Bratton is an author, award-winning speaker, and serial entrepreneur who teaches passionate lovemaking techniques to her fans around the world. She has authored and published 20 books, including Relationship Magic, The Passion Patch (which she mentioned during the show), and 30 Romantic Tricks That Work Like Magic. She also has her international number one Amazon bestseller, Sexual Soulmates: The Six Essentials for Connected Sex. You will hear a ton of practical tips and information during this show, as well as a really nice big picture perspective about why relationships might fall off their game a little bit, and most importantly, how to get it back quickly. As Susan explains, there is great research showing that when you have a healthy sex life, you live longer, you have better immune function, you have better anti-cancer protection, you have more longevity, you have more energy, you have better sexual hormone health—all things that really do contribute to a better life.
Enjoy listening to this show and make it a top priority to take note of all the suggestions and recommendations that she offers up.
TIMESTAMPS:
Many couples can use some advice to enhance their sex life. This is the podcast to give some tips. [00:52]
This is a stressful world we live in, and sometimes there are frustrations outside the bedroom that prevent couples from getting inside the bedroom. [06:30]
Low energy is a big factor. [11:32]
Much of what we see in the movies, TV, and in books is based on men’s arousal patterns. [14:04]
Make a commitment to have a better sex life. You will live longer. [19:41]
It is normal for women to take longer to get aroused. [23:17]
Learn how to hold each other and touch each other. [28:25]
Men tend to overestimate their skills because the testosterone makes them very confident. [31:19]
Susan offers a 5-step process that couples can do themselves. [33:06]
Be more fun to have sex with. Go to sexlifebucketlist.com. [40:13]
Orgasmic intercourse is a learned skill. [51:19]

In this show, I break down and analyze comments from my recent interview with one of the greatest female middle distance runners in the world, the American record holder Shelby Houlihan.
It was a pleasure to drive up to Flagstaff, Arizona to meet Shelby at her high altitude training camp as she prepares for her long awaited comeback after a ridiculous four year suspension for a very questionable doping violation. In our interview, which you can listen to here (or click below under "links"), we talked about the tragedy she experienced when she had her career taken from her right in the middle of her prime, right as she was getting ready for the Olympics—then having to sit for four years.
You will learn about the nuances of how that whole incident went down and the injustice of the anti-doping system in the world of elite sports. Of course we have to keep these sports clean, but can there be room for some imperfections and some victims too? You will also hear about the many aspects of what it's like to be an elite athlete, how Shelby expanded her horizons and her competitive disposition to try to become a more well-balanced person by getting her master's degree in sports psychology, and much more.
Shelby said such amazing, thoughtful comments during the interview, and I think so many of her comments are truly profound insights that will help you as you navigate the very difficult challenge of designing an optimal training program that balances stress and rest (and also keeping your ego in check) as you pursue ambitious competitive goals. These big picture insights are especially helpful now, as the biohacking scene is currently getting a little out of hand—focusing on a regimented, high-tech, glossy, glitzy approach towards pursuing longevity, instead of just covering the basics—and the Blue Zones movement is getting torched by The New York Times’ revelation of the manipulation behind their messaging and how they drew inaccurate conclusions from the data they gathered. It all comes down to basics and consistency, so this show will highlight important insights about Shelby’s approach, from details of her weekly training patterns to how she is deliberate about what she does to unwind and rest during the off competitive season, and how she generally balances the physiological impact training has on her body.
TIMESTAMPS:
Biohacking is getting out of hand these days. [04:04]
The Blue Zone studies are now being questioned. It looks like it has been manipulated to promote a plant-based diet. [05:15]
It is refreshing to hear that Shelby deliberately takes the time to unwind and chill out rather that becoming a cyborg robot in pursuit of improving. [10:59]
Most champion runners do their training in a more relaxed way, not obsessed with biohacking behavior. It is so important to have balance in your life. [13:11]
Developing that aerobic system so that the faster paced runs can become less stressful and less destructive is the only path to success. [17:51]
Shelby trains three days a week then on the off days, she just runs. Her eight-mile runs are at an eight-minute pace. [21:13]
If you go faster than your anaerobic threshold, your body would start to accumulate lactate faster than you can remove it. [23:12]
Shelby has complete trust in her coach who allows for input and flexibility on the athlete’s side. [36:30]
A lot of people are talking about the super spikes and how they are distorting world records. [40:47]
Brad talks about Shelby’s problem with the accusation of doping. Was she cheating? [41:49]
You can’t roll back technological advancements in sport equipment. [45:34]
The incentive to cheat due to economic desperation is a real problem in elite international sport. [47:57]

This breather show is about the epidemic and steady decline in the average level of testosterone in today's male compared to years and decades past, and what you can do if you want to avoid tanking your testosterone levels.
You will learn about a variety of factors that influence testosterone, like the health of your relationship, certain kinds of exercise, and even engaging in anger, resentment, arguing, and nitpicking. You’ll also hear some truly brilliant, life-changing advice from John Gray and learn about the importance of doing certain testosterone boosting activities.
TIMESTAMPS:
There is an epidemic in a steady decline in the average level of testosterone in today’s male. [00:38]
Much of the loss is directly tied to unhealthy living as well as to a high stress level. [03:18]
Testosterone is not only what we think of as an aggression or high-performance hormone, it is a social status hormone as well. [06:29]
Females must have an appropriate level of testosterone in order to function at her best as well. [09:36]
There is a big distinction between visceral fat and subcutaneous fat. [10:44]
There is a huge difference between exercising the right way and exercising in a manner that is too stressful. [14:26]
Research is showing several things to avoid in order to focus on testosterone levels. One is to get away from plastics and chemicals that go into your food or your body. Anything with a scent contains chemicals is offensive to the estrogen in your body. [16:58]
Sleep, recovery, rest, and downtime are so very important. [20:45]
Junk food is one of the driving forces of this global obesity epidemic. Especially the processed seed oils do harm. [24:57]
We have to have a healthy, loving, romantic relationship to be at our best hormonally. [29:12]
The wrong kinds of exercise can tank your hormones. [34:04]
QUOTES: "Sitting is the new smoking."

Welcome to this special episode of the B.rad podcast, where Brad Kearns visits American record holding middle distance runner Shelby Houlihan at her high-altitude training camp in Flagstaff, AZ.
This is an incredibly powerful and in-depth discussion about all aspects of what it's like to compete in elite level sport. Shelby has just completed her four-year layoff from a highly unjust and controversial doping suspension and is returning to competition as the 2025 US and world indoor season approaches. This wide-ranging discussion is a master class on developing the ideal perspective and mindset of a champion athlete. Shelby has been through hell like few other athletes—her livelihood and status in elite sport taken away in an instant with the four-year suspension. Please watch our first interview where we discuss the details of her doping violation and her legal case and the incredible injustice and lack of due process that athletes face if they test positive. We recap it a bit in this show, and you’ll learn about the nuanced dynamics of doping in high level sports, how the system works, and how we might do things better and more fairly.
You learn about how a champion athlete has to cultivate a singular focus and narrow mindset but how this can lead to disappointment and frustration when you attach too much of your self esteem to results. its double edge sword but we talk about the sweet spot where you can still be a vicious competitor but also a well-balanced person. You learn about how Shelby spent her off time still training at a high level, doing some incredible time trials, getting a masters in sports psych, and making a great effort to broaden her perspective about life and sport. You learn about the business of T&F, a somewhat unpleasant topic when you realize how even the greatest athletes have very tenuous career prospects. This is a woman who has dedicated her life to elite sport and it was an honor to see such amazing resilience and maturity as she tells her incredible story. You don't have to be a track fan to deeply appreciate this interview.
Please listen to the entire riveting two hours as we get the lowdown from someone who is about to go wild on the track and get some more records and titles.
TIMESTAMPS:
Shelby Houlihan has quite a story to tell about her experience with the anti-doping system. [02:02]
After her four-year suspension, Shelby is looking forward to coming back into competition, although she is feeling frustrated. [05:15]
For her comeback she still doesn’t want to use super spikes. She wants to run fast naturally not faster because of her shoes. [08:20]
There are people, the haters, that don’t believe Shelby’s story. [14:06]
Track and Field journalism field is rather small. Have they treated Shelby fairly? [18:09]
Even when disqualified, Shelby ran because it was her identity. [20:57]
Teaching sports psychology is a good place for her with all her experience. [25:52]
A lot of athletes have a hard time with retirement….trying to figure out who they are without competition. [29:57]
Has Shelby been able to cheer her friends on even though she, herself, isn’t running? [32:43]
The biggest problem with elite athletes is over-training. [38:20]
There are many injured athletes that return to competition too soon. If you rush it, you’re going to pay later. [54:48]
Upon Shelby’s suspension, she lost her sponsors. [57:53]
Unfortunately, some other elite athletes were not supportive of Shelby. Most athletes don’t understand what happens with the testing system. [01:02:11]
Many athletes are doping and fans like to watch the sports. [01:08:51]
How is Shelby going to handle the comeback? She hopes it will still be fun. [01:12:35]
How will the crowd receive her? [01:16:24]
How did she handle the fact that she knew she was clean, but had accept the suspension? [01:18:58]
How is the team environment with her comeback? [01:22:01]
Why are shoe sponsors so important over other products? [01:31:24]
The Beer Mile World Championship was a fun challenge. [01:31:41]
How much importance does she put on breaking her records? How does aging effect the athlete? [01:42:54]
What does Shelby’s training week look like? [01:50:10]

Once again, it is time for a refresher course inspired by the teaching of four-time podcast guest John Gray, the #1 bestselling relationship author of all-time with his Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus franchise.
In this highlight episode, you will hear life-changing advice and insights into relationship health, including the specific “assignments” John Gray has designated for men and women and why. You will learn about the importance of being a “Kung Fu Master”, why men should never speak when they have a negative emotional charge, and the #1 danger women face today.
I also include tips from author David Deida, talk about the effects of complaining or nitpicking and what happens when you instead express everything as a preference, and how to overcome emotionally fragile reactions. You will also learn what causes arguments to escalate, why women just need to vent, what kills the passion in a relationship, what causes women to end up anxious and depressed, and more details about the different fundamental biological drives and hormonal underpinnings that influence our behavior and wants and needs.
TIMESTAMPS:
After the first two highlight podcasts, Brad looks at relationship insights. [01:04]
The male’s relationship assignment is to be a kung fu master by remaining calm, cool and collected. [02:43]
The female needs to vent, to talk out her problems, concerns, challenges, and complaints. [09:55]
Leave the petty grievances alone. Decide what is really important. [14:59]
The female should never complain and nitpick your male partner. [18:11]
You are responsible for your own happiness. You cannot depend on another person to make you happy. [20:10]
The evolving culture and evolving relationship roles lead to challenges, mainly with the female. [23:23]
Another dynamic is the increased isolation of society. [26:16]
John Gray’s anatomy of an argument: Female feels unhappy and starts to feel disconnected. The males responds by telling her why she shouldn’t feel that way. [30:27]

I want to talk about the benefits of Peluva, five toe minimalist shoes, and a barefoot inspired lifestyle overall.
A commercial recording, perhaps, but we are committed to promoting foot functionality and overcoming this disastrous slide into foot atrophy and dysfunction—that is the essence of a modern lifestyle and a life lived in elevated, restrictive shoes. If we’re going to talk about ancestral health and getting back to basics, eating the right food, getting your sunshine and getting your exercise, we also have to look after our feet. When we encase them in restrictive shoes, we develop lifelong bad habits, dysfunction, weakness, and atrophy—no wonder we have these ridiculous statistics, such as the 78% of Americans who complain of chronic foot pain. “Solutions” to their chronic foot pain range from orthotics to prescription medication to surgery. And did you know that Medicare covers only two pairs of shoes per year for elderly Americans that are in the Medicare system? Isn’t that kind of ridiculous? Of all the things that your standardized, nationalized healthcare policy should cover, they threw in a couple pairs of orthopedic shoes because everyone, of course, is going to experience foot problems and foot pain.
But there is a way to escape from this disastrous decline, and that is to rebuild your foot functionality very carefully by transitioning over to a more barefoot inspired lifestyle. In this episode, I share how to get started, why you want to go barefoot as much as possible (and how do it safely!), why your big toe must be allowed to operate independently from the other toes and in multiple planes of motion, why a truly barefoot style shoe must have a zero drop sole, what experts have deemed as the single most destructive feature in the modern shoe, and much more!
TIMESTAMPS:
What happens to your feet in the modern day restrictive padded athletic shoe? [00:56]
You need to rebuild your foot functionality very carefully. [02:21]
You must have the articulated five toes. [03:16]
It is very important how and where your heel hits the ground in the middle of your stride. [04:34]
The Peluva shoe that was designed for basically everyday use has 9 millimeters of protective cushioning. [12:39]
Just moving in everyday life is the number one fitness objective. [14:43]
Ground feel of the shoe means that with every foot strike, the neurons in your feet send a message to your central system. [20:06]
If you took off your shoes now and started running on a hard surface, you would probably exhibit the most graceful midfoot landing. [25:52]
The best part of wearing the Peluva shoes is that your feet achieve their full range of motion and functionality. [27:57]
The big toe initiating the takeoff portion of the stride is the key trigger for glute activation in the body. [32:32]
The big toe needs to operate independently through multiple planes of motion. [35:55]

Rebroadcast: Did you know that the #1 longevity factor is not your diet or the quality of your sleep, but the health (or dysfunction) of your long-term romantic relationship?
Yes, according to Dr. John Gray, it doesn’t matter how much you’re exercising or how healthy your lifestyle is—if your romantic relationship is a source of stress or unhappiness in your life, then that will inevitably take a toll on your health and affect your longevity.
In this rebroadcast of one of my favorite shows ever with Dr. John Gray, you will learn why most women lose their attraction to men after they open up about their feelings (and how to achieve intimacy while keeping a healthy emotional balance in your relationship), the actions you can avoid that tank your partner’s testosterone, what happens when a woman slides into the masculine role in a relationship, why Dr. John says: “Anytime you’re arguing with a woman, you’re afraid,” what causes men’s estrogen levels to rise, why men need to watch the way they exit to their “cave,” and why women have to watch out for how they pursue their man into his cave, and so many more helpful insights that you can apply to your relationships.
Enjoy this informative and helpful show with Dr. John Gray, who offers this sage advice: “Don’t let your fears control your behavior. Look at them, listen to them. Try to understand them…then take action, without letting your fears control you.”
TIMESTAMPS:
The number one longevity factor of all is the quality of one's romantic relationships or lack thereof. [00:38]The male's major assignment is to be the kung fu master remaining calm, cool, and collected at all times. And the female's main relationship assignment is to express everything as a preference rather than complain. [03:04]
Some women lose their attraction to a man if he starts sharing his feelings. [06:40]
When you have anger, you don’t let it control you. That is the key to being masculine. [08:16]
Sex drive is very important to a man. Whenever you do something dangerous, the testosterone goes up. [11:45]
There is a societal problem with boys’ testosterone when there is no male role model. [14:14]
When the man has more needs than the woman, she becomes the man. [16:07]
If a woman is more emotional, she will be more orgasmic. [20:19]
Men need to minimize as a source of stress reduction. [23:52]
Women don’t realize that they have controlling behavior, and women don’t usually understand why men feel controlled. [25:18]
You can’t look to your partner for everything. [29:48]
Yes but, yes buts are common answers to solutions. If you are not having great sex, clearly there is a communication problem. [34:23]
Nobody wants to be criticized. A response can be “I hear you” rather than “I’m sorry.” [39:17]
There’s always something to be upset about. [46:45]
She will not be able to hear a word you say if she doesn't feel heard herself. [51:16]
How can you not take it personally? [53:59]
Your testosterone level fluctuates depending on how often you have sex. [59:30]
It is important to find balance between your feminine and masculine side. [01:10:03]
John talks about the process of grieving. [01:15:43]

TIMESTAMPS:
Brad tells about the comprehensive Primal Fitness Expert Certification course. [00:53]
What is the difference between health and fitness? [02:44]
There are many benefits of increasing all forms of general everyday movement. Our species is designed to be in near constant movement. [06:53]
There is a biomechanically correct way to stand and to walk and to run, and also to sit and bend and extend and move your body in a manner that will preserve it will be safe and it'll preserve spinal integrity. [10:53]
There is a whole chapter in the book about breathing, especially the energy-boosting strategy of minimized nasal diaphragmatic breathing. [13:20]
In the chapter on stretching, you learn whether you should do static stretching or dynamic stretching. [16:13]
Mobility, flexibility, balance, and injury prevention is the next section with some amazing strategies. [16:54]
How do you determine what is the appropriate intensity for a steady state cardiovascular aerobic conditioning? [18:02]

Deadlifting and squatting are covered in the next chapter showing the correct techniques. We also discuss using free weights and other machines at the gym. [23:13]
When you become competent at sprinting, you perform better at all lower levels of exercise intensity. Weight loss does not come from calories and calories out. [24:38]
The Mindset and Peak Performance chapter includes how to get out of your own way and to expertly manage your competitive intensity. [31:39]
Overtraining and overreaching are two different things. [34:23]
Because of the influx of hyperconnectivity and nonstop access to stimulation, entertainment, and mobile technology, we also have to hit these objectives of sufficient rest, recovery and downtime during the day. [40:07]
QUOTES:
“What is the best strength training exercise for you to do? It’s the one that you actually enjoy and will stick to.”

Today, dietary experts agree on one thing—that protein is the #1 dietary priority to survive (and thrive).
Yes, humans need carbs to fuel an energetic life and natural, nutritious fats for hormone and cellular health, but protein is the #1 dietary priority—and this episode will explain why.
You will learn exactly why we need sufficient dietary protein and why many people fall short of this goal, why restrictive diets (like fasting, keto, or being plant-based) put you at an automatic disadvantage, why getting enough protein can be a challenge and how to overcome that challenge, and the differences in bioavailability for different proteins—such as beans and rice vs. steak, hamburger, eggs, and the #1 supplement whey (which is vastly superior to unhealthy plant proteins).
We also talk about the 9 essential (and 11 non-essential) amino acids and the reason why the essential ones must come from your diet. You will learn about the “Leucine threshold” to trigger muscle protein synthesis, the optimal times to consume protein and how much to eat, and why protein is an integral part of achieving long-term weight loss. I also explain what crash diets that feature low amounts of protein do to your body and metabolism and why the goal is to be in an anabolic or metabolic state, and not a catabolic state.
As you will hear, the most important thing is to simply try to raise awareness of where you fall in terms of protein intake, and then prioritize! This dietary strategy will keep you away from indulgent foods and lower nutrient density foods. For a quick, easy protein boost, get a bag of B.rad Whey + Creatine Superfuel on Amazon or BradNutrition.com and stir into a glass of water.
TIMESTAMPS:
Protein in the dietary centerpiece. We don’t need to meet our target perfectly every day as long as we make it up. [01:00]
Many people are believed to be falling short these days on optimal protein consumption because of the popularity of so-called restrictive diets. [03:00]
It is difficult to optimize protein because there are not a lot of quick on-the-go snack foods that are high in protein. [05:00]
We have to be concerned about the amino acids and getting leucine. [07:00]
Sarcopenia is the age-related muscle loss from lack of protein. [11:00]
Eating whey is a good way to supplement your need for protein. [12:00]
What is the recommendation for sufficient protein intake? Consume one gram per pound of your ideal body weight. [17:00]
What is the protein content of an egg? There are 6 grams of protein in the whites whereas the yolk is rich with fat and other nutrients that are difficult to get from other areas of the diet. [22:00]
If you are habitually under consuming protein, you will soon develop a disease. [29:00]
