    How to Train Your Mind: Ancient Wisdom, Modern Science, and the Mindset of Excellence | Brian Johnson

    What if your biggest challenge isn’t motivation but missing structure? In this episode, I sit down with Brian Johnson to unpack the science and philosophy of lasting behavior change. We explore the power of ancient wisdom, stoicism, and the neuroscience of excellence, and why most wellness apps fail to deliver real transformation. Brian shares his personal journey from startup success to creating a global movement around character, discipline, and identity-based habits. We talk about the science of anti-fragility, how muscle mirrors virtue, and why the gap between who you are and who you could be is the true source of suffering. Whether you're a high performer or someone who wants to stop breaking promises to yourself, this conversation will help you build the structure to show up as your best—no matter the circumstance. What You’ll Learn: Why most behavior change fails—and what the science says worksThe philosophy of Areté: how to close the gap between potential and actionHow ancient stoicism aligns with modern recovery, resilience, and muscleWhy building muscle is a metaphor (and mechanism) for building characterThe true definition of anti-fragility—and how to train it If you're ready to bridge the gap between knowing and doing, this episode is the roadmap you've been looking for. Who is Brian Johnson? Brian Johnson has spent half of the last 25 years as a Founder/CEO and the other half as a Philosopher. As a Founder/CEO, he’s made crowdfunding history and built and sold two market-leading social platforms. As a Philosopher, he created Philosopher’s Notes, wrote the bestselling book Areté: Activate Your Heroic Potential, and developed a protocol integrating ancient wisdom, modern science, and practical tools that has been scientifically proven to help people change their lives. Brian is featured in the documentary Finding Joe on the modern Hero’s Journey and has trained some of the world’s most elite performers. He lives in the country outside of Austin with his wife and two kids and is all in on fulfilling Heroic’s mission to help create a more noble and virtuous world in which 51% of humanity is flourishing by 2051.

    Why Do Most Diets Fail? The Science of Nutrient Deficiencies | Ty Beal PhD

    In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Ty Beal—global nutrition researcher and Senior Technical Specialist at the Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN)—to uncover the hidden epidemic of micronutrient deficiencies worldwide. From food access and affordability to ultra-processed diets and nutrient bioavailability, we explore how modern food systems are failing billions and what needs to change to truly make the world healthier. We cover: Why 3 billion people can’t afford a healthy diet—and how that affects nutrient statusThe most common global and U.S. micronutrient deficiencies (and why they’re often overlooked)Why women and children are especially vulnerable during pregnancy, infancy, and adolescenceThe role of ultra-processed foods in displacing nutrient-rich optionsHow bioavailability, anti-nutrients, and the “food matrix” impact your real nutrient intakeWhy plant-based diets aren’t always safer—and the hidden risks of nutrient shortfallsThe science behind biofortification, food system reform, and why animal-source foods stil matterWhat the U.S. gets wrong about food guidelines, global trade, and nutritional equity Whether you care about maternal health, child development, or just making better nutrition decisions, this is a vital conversation about nutrient density, food justice, and global health. Who is Dr. Ty Beal? Dr. Ty Beal is a Senior Technical Specialist and global nutrition scientist at the Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN) where he leads research on global food systems, nutrient inadequacy, and diet quality. His work bridges science and policy to help address the world’s most pressing nutrition challenges—especially among vulnerable populations. He’s published extensively on micronutrient gaps, ultra-processed foods, and global dietary patterns, and is one of the most cited voices on nutrition equity in developing nations.

    Women’s Training & The Menstrual Cycle: What the Science Actually Says | Lauren Colenso-Semple, PhD

    In today's episode, I had the chance to speak to muscle physiology researcher and science communicator Dr. Lauren Colenso-Semple. Together, we unpack the common claims around hormones and training—from whether you should change your workouts based on your cycle, to the real effects of fasted cardio and birth control on performance and muscle growth. We also explore how menopause affects body composition, what the science actually supports when it comes to training differences between men and women, and why some of the most persistent myths about women’s physiology are based more on assumption than evidence. What You’ll Learn: Why women’s physiology is not a limitation for building muscleWhether training around your menstrual cycle or avoiding fasted workouts is necessaryThe truth about oral contraceptives and their impact on performance, hypertrophy, and strengthHow menopause affects body composition—and what you can do about itWhy consistency and progressive overload matter more than hormone fluctuationsHow much protein and resistance training women actually need—and when to eat it This conversation is for every woman who’s been told her physiology is too complicated to train effectively. It’s not. The science is finally catching up—and Lauren is helping lead the charge.

    The Truth About Women’s Metabolism, Muscle & Fat Loss at Every Age | Abbie Smith-Ryan, PhD

    In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Abbie Smith-Ryan—one of the leading researchers in exercise physiology and women’s metabolism—to unpack the science of how women should be training through perimenopause, postmenopause, and beyond. We dive into the physiological changes that impact body composition, performance, and recovery—and how to adjust training and nutrition to match. We discuss: How high-intensity interval training (HIIT) improves VO₂ max, fat oxidation, and muscle quality in womenWhether fasted training helps or hurts, and why so many women are under-fueledWhat the science really says about lifting heavy and building muscle over 40Nutrient timing, rest intervals, and why sex-based differences in physiology matterWhat we still don’t know about hormone therapy, protein needs, and female-specific adaptations If you’re navigating training, muscle loss, or metabolic changes through midlife, this conversation will give you clarity, confidence, and evidence-based strategies you can actually use. Who is Dr. Abbie Smith-Ryan? Dr. Abbie Smith-Ryan is a leading expert in exercise physiology and sports nutrition, currently serving as Associate Chair for Research and Director of the Applied Physiology Lab at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
