The conversation around cholesterol has been clouded with misconceptions for years… Recently, however, a clearer narrative has emerged, shedding light on the importance of understanding cholesterol beyond the simplistic labels of "good" and "bad." In fact, cholesterol is absolutely vital for our body's functions. This often-victimized molecule plays a pivotal role in hormone production, bile acid synthesis, and cell membrane formation, highlighting its indispensable nature for our survival. Our latest Muscle Intelligence Podcast episode, "Demystifying Cholesterol and Cardiometabolic Health," brings on four experts in cardiology and human metabolism… These four leaders in medicine delve into the complex world of cholesterol, nitric oxide, and the gut microbiome - and break down the impact each has on cardiovascular health and longevity. Dr. Doreen Saltiel and Dr. Michael Twyman address the common myth surrounding "good" and "bad" cholesterol, emphasizing that cholesterol, in essence, is just cholesterol. The key lies in understanding how its accumulation in arterial walls can lead to health issues, and what exactly the cause of this accumulation is. You’ll also learn the role that nitric oxide plays in coronary artery disease with Dr. Nathan Bryan, and valuable insights into how to adopt a holistic approach to heart health - which includes the health of the gut microbiome, with Dr. William Davis. From dietary strategies to lifestyle modifications, this episode offers practical tips for maintaining a healthy balance. – About Muscle Intelligence – We are raising the standard of men in their prime by helping aspirational men optimize their health so they can live longer, lead from the front and perform at their best everyday.

A number of men experience, at some point in their lives, the downstream effects of mild brain trauma (often unbeknownst to them). And despite the word “mild” evoking an image of a condition easily treated and managed, the effects are too often detrimental… But there’s also the potential for brain inflammation due to poor lifestyle choices - and correcting the underlying causes for this inflammation is imperative… Plus, this inflammation is a MAJOR contributing factor to hormonal imbalance, and it’s too often commonly addressed with a “band aid” solution of some sort. That’s why I’m thrilled to share a long-anticipated, insightful podcast interview with Dr. Mark Gordon, a renowned expert in neuro regenerative medicine and the treatment of traumatic brain injuries. In this podcast, Dr. Gordon discusses his pioneering work in recognizing traumatic brain injuries as a cause of hormonal deficiencies. He emphasizes the importance of addressing brain trauma early, to prevent long-term challenges. – About Muscle Intelligence – We are raising the standard of men in their prime by helping aspirational men optimize their health so they can live longer, lead from the front and perform at their best everyday.

A major focus for myself and the Muscle Intelligence team in 2024 is the fascinating realm of longevity - and how it intersects with muscle building. Longevity is a topic that has garnered tremendous interest in the ever-evolving landscape of health and wellness… And admittedly, I was once a skeptic, questioning the vagueness and lack of substantial evidence surrounding longevity. However, my perspective has undergone a significant shift over the past year… I'm now genuinely excited about this field, driven by the increasing wealth of human data that has become available. Longevity isn't just about extending life; it's about enhancing the quality of life, ensuring a robust and thriving 'health span.' Quality of life is paramount, and muscle building plays a crucial role in this journey. In today’s episode, I delve into my personal longevity protocol, and explore how to support a vibrant and fulfilling life with everything from training, to fasting (or not fasting - depending on your unique needs), to biohacks. You’ll learn the FULL program that my elite clients follow to optimize for longevity, the best 32 supplements to support an anti-aging regime, and my tried and tested tools for maintaining muscle even while clearing senescent (“zombie”) cells from your body. Plus, I share my experience of whether the latest cutting edge bio-hacks are worth the cost.

It’s my belief that the pinnacle of health involves having complete control over your nervous system - the highest performers on earth (mentally and physically) can “flip the switch” at a moment’s notice… When it’s time for the gold medal-winning race, or the moment that could make or break your career, you want the ability to turn ON - lightning fast. But the ability to intentionally downregulate your nervous system is an art of equal importance. The masterful skill of brain training is something today’s guest, Dr. Drew Pierson, has spent years studying.  In fact, to put it most accurately, he’s taken the field of brain enhancement to another dimension… Dr. Pierson has advanced the medicine of neurofeedback therapy from simply treating pathology (such as depression, ADD, and sleep disorders) to enhancing the intricate structures and functions of leadership, wisdom, and awakened consciousness.  The depth that Dr. Pierson brings to today’s interview is truly monumental, and if you’re someone who operates as a leader in your family, business, or community, I know you’ll enjoy it as much as I did. We cover everything from the intentional training of specific brain wave states for flow, focus, and creativity, to which specific neurofeedback methods can help strengthen relationships, teams, and organizations - and MUCH more.

Dozens of men each month tell me that, on the back side of 40, they experience decreasing energy, a lack of drive, or a stubborn 10-15 pounds that they “just can’t get rid of.” While we often believe our problems are unique, after years of working with some of the world’s highest performers, I can tell you with certainty: Your problems are NOT unique… And it often takes a small subset of actions to solve your problems, push you in the direction of achieving your goals, and set you on the path to living your greatest life. I recorded today's solocast for you on the six most common problems faced by high-achieving men, and how we address each one in the upcoming Muscle Intelligence Phase One program - a culmination of my own life’s work, that I’m so excited to share with our community. Whether you’ve been training for decades, or you’ve recently revamped your health and lifestyle habits, I guarantee that these six facets of mental and physical optimization are absolutely necessary for you to achieve the biggest goals in your life.

If you’re a high-performing athlete, executive, or family man over 35 (or all three), you KNOW that your body is the vehicle to living your best life… It’s not about making the most money, or even about personal development - it’s about the realization that your body will either help you to achieve your goals and live your dreams, OR that it will ultimately hold you back. And the importance of your body’s capability comes down to more than muscle building or cardiovascular fitness, or even your ability to move well and sustain it… Instead, it all goes back to energy… Every single decision you make is influenced by how you feel, whether you're conscious of it, or not - it's happening. In today’s brief but powerful solocast, I cover what it would take to SOLVE that energy equation - to begin to deconstruct looking, feeling, and performing at a top level every day, and to do it all as well as you did when you were 25 (or even better for some!) This episode is a must-listen for EVERY man over 35 - it’s a short time commitment, and it will help you develop goals for your own energy and priorities. Plus, keep an ear open for a couple of sequel episodes coming up, which will dive deeper into the topics I introduce today.

Whether I’m working with professional athletes, high-achieving executives, or determined entrepreneurs, I often look for the small hinges that swing the biggest doors… Over several decades, I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s all about adaptation. The work you put in to build muscle, increase cardiovascular fitness, or lose body fat, is worthless without your ability to acclimate to it… And this is what today’s Muscle Intelligence Podcast guests refer to as “adaptive capacity” - the finesse to adapt to more stress with less cost. Dr. Erik Korem and Dr. Chris Morris join me today for an episode that offers an incredibly well-rounded framework to health, performance, and longevity Dr. Erik Korem spent 15+ years working in the NFL and collegiate football as a sports scientist and performance director, and he’s also coached a number of Olympic gold medalists. He’s fascinated by high performance, and is the Founder and CEO of AIM7 - a new app that is grounded in the science of behavior change, to help anyone with a wearable device take steps toward a more thriving life. Dr. Chris Morris is the Director of Performance Science at the University of Kentucky, where he is responsible for developing and implementing the best practice strategies to reduce injury risk and enhance readiness, performance and recovery for the Wildcats’ football team. Dr. Morris is also well versed in the facilitation of performance technology and optimal training resources.

One of the biggest mistakes I see my incoming clients make is doing the same type of training day in, day out and thinking they’re going to get a different result… And maybe it worked for you once, but does that mean it’s going to work forever? No. Here's the reality: you have to learn how to vary the stimulus to your body. Your body needs to be subjected to a diverse number of things if you want to be able to do a diverse number of things. Boosting your physical capacity as you age requires not only strength, but also structural balance, stability, and cardiovascular fitness. I recorded today’s episode to teach you the first big lever within my new framework of building resilience and, ultimately, longevity.
