Sophie Cunningham lit the internet on fire when she said we need to protect the safety of girls and the integrity of women's sports, and the conversation quickly turned into another political battleground even though the underlying question is really about biology, anatomy, and physiology. Inside today's episode, I break down what the research says about testosterone suppression, puberty, and the…
Roughly 1 in 4 American adults are taking 5 or more prescription medications at the same time, and that number climbs steeply for people over 40, for postpartum women, and for anyone managing more than one chronic condition. The most talked about murder trial of the year has put a public face on what polypharmacy looks like at its most extreme. I break down the polypharmacy conversation, walking…
Inside today's episode, I break down the research on how anger affects the body from the inside out including the acute cardiovascular events, the chronic inflammatory picture, and the emerging cellular aging data.

The PACE Framework for Keeping Clients Longer. Retention doesn't just keep clients.

Inside today's episode, I break down the retention math most coaches never actually run, the three framing…
Your immune system is built to hunt invaders, but every so often it turns its weaponry on your own tissues. Over the last 50 years, autoimmune disease has gone from an uncommon condition to something almost everyone knows at least one person living with, and the two variables that move symptoms more than anything are almost never discussed in a 10-minute doctor's appointment. Inside today's…
Inside today's featured replay interview, I walk through how to assess metabolic health from both the subjective side of energy, sleep, and appetite regulation and the quantitative side of lab work, and why coaches are best thought of as adaptation managers rather than diet prescribers.

The FDA advisory committee voted July 23rd and 24th and social media has been running wild with the news, but most of what's circulating about BPC 157 and the other peptides that were on the agenda is either half-right or completely wrong.

80% of Americans are metabolically unhealthy, which means the obesity conversation isn't about weight for a lot of people...

People spend over $36 billion a year on vitamins, and most people probably couldn't tell you what those nutrients are supposed to accomplish. The multivitamin is the most popular supplement on Earth, but it's also one of the most mocked and misunderstood, with one camp calling it a scam while another swears a special formulation changed their energy and their life. Both takes miss the point of…
Inside today's featured replay interview, I sit down at the Silverback Summit for a full conversation on what it takes to start and grow a health coaching business that lasts.

Inside today's episode, I break down the three completely separate…
