The Business Athlete Podcast The Business Athlete Podcast by Fraser Bayley is for high performers who refuse to separate success in business from success in health. If you think like an professional investor when it comes to money, strategy, and growth, but you’ve never applied that same lens to your body, energy, and longevity, this podcast will change the way you see everything. This show is about ROI-driven health optimization — treating your physiology like the most important asset you own. Because it is. Each episode explores how to upgrade your energy, focus, body composition, resilience, and longevity so you can show up as a better leader, partner, parent, and operator. Not through extremes or gimmicks, but through intelligent leverage: bloodwork, nutrition, training, nervous system regulation, gut health, hormones, peptides, recovery, mindset, and lifestyle design. You’ll hear a mix of deep-dive monologues and conversations with high-level operators, entrepreneurs, athletes, and thinkers who live what they teach. The focus is always the same: clarity, simplicity, and systems that actually work in real life — even when you’re busy, stressed, traveling, and carrying responsibility. This isn’t about chasing hacks. It’s about building a body and mind that compound over time. Because when your energy is stable, your decisions improve. When your health is dialed in, discipline becomes easier. And when you become the lighthouse, people — and opportunities — follow. If you want to operate at a higher level without burning out, aging fast, or sacrificing your family and values, welcome. This is The Business Athlete Podcast.

    Episode 23 - ADHD/Depression/Anxiety - From Medicated to Optimized: Rebuilding Brain Chemistry the Right Way

    🎧 Can You Get Off Psychiatric Medications? My Experience Optimizing Brain ChemistryWhat if the conversation around psychiatric medication is incomplete? In this episode of the Business Athlete Podcast, Fraser shares his personal journey of tapering off psychiatric medications — under medical supervision — and the physiological strategies he used to support his brain chemistry along the way. This is not about quitting cold turkey. This is not anti-medication. This is about optimizing the terrain. Fraser breaks down the foundational pillars that influence neurotransmitters like dopamine, serotonin, GABA, and norepinephrine, and how factors like nutrition, micronutrients, hormones, sleep, gut health, and metabolic function play a critical role in mental health. In this episode, you’ll learn: Why you should never stop psychiatric medication without medical supervisionHow the Braverman test can help identify neurotransmitter patternsThe bloodwork markers that impact mood, focus, and anxietyHow vitamin D, B vitamins, magnesium, zinc, omega-3s, and trace minerals influence brain chemistryThe role of thyroid function, insulin sensitivity, and inflammation in mental healthHow gut health and the microbiome affect serotonin productionWhy mitochondrial health, light exposure, and sleep quality matter more than most people realizeStrategic supplementation approaches (when appropriate)The importance of nervous system regulation and stress managementThe goal isn’t to shame medication. The goal is to strengthen the underlying physiology that influences how your brain functions. Because your brain isn’t broken. It’s biochemical. And biochemistry can be optimized.

    Episode 22 - The Science of the CHEAT Meal: Burn More Fat by Eating MORE?

    Cheat Meals Done Right: How to Use Them to Boost Fat Loss & Metabolism Cheat meals aren’t the problem. Your lack of strategy is. In this episode of the Business Athlete Podcast, Fraser breaks down the real science behind cheat meals, refeeds, fat loss plateaus, and metabolic adaptation — and why most people are sabotaging their results without realizing it. If you’ve ever: Stalled in your fat loss despite “doing everything right”Felt flat, cold, low energy, or low libido during a dietGained 5 pounds overnight after a weekend “cheat”Wondered if eating more could actually help you get leanerThis episode is for you. Fraser explains the physiology behind leptin, thyroid function (T3), glycogen replenishment, insulin sensitivity, and metabolic adaptation — and how strategic carbohydrate refeeds can actually stimulate metabolism, improve performance, and support sustainable fat loss when executed correctly. You’ll learn: The difference between an emotional cheat meal and a structured refeedHow prolonged calorie restriction lowers hormones and slows metabolismWhy high-carb + high-fat “cheat days” lead to fat gainHow to structure macros for a proper refeedDigestive optimization tactics to reduce inflammation and bloatingHow to pair refeeds with your hardest workouts for muscle growthWhy insulin sensitivity determines whether a refeed worksThe next-day strategy to continue fat loss momentumWhen you shouldn’t refeed at all This isn’t about earning junk food. It’s about using physiology to your advantage. When done correctly, a refeed becomes a metabolic tool — not a setback. If you want cutting edge health consulting, I have various programs and options.

    Episode 21 - Lowering CANCER Risk: Software, Stress & Metabolic Health

    The Lifestyle Levers That Influence Cancer Biology What if cancer risk isn’t just genetics… but terrain? In this episode of the Business Athlete Podcast, Fraser Bailey breaks down the metabolic, inflammatory, hormonal, and environmental levers that influence cancer risk and long-term resilience. This is not about replacing medical care. It’s about optimizing the internal environment — the “terrain” — so your body is stronger, more metabolically stable, and more resilient. Fraser walks through: The connection between insulin resistance, inflammation, and abnormal cell growthWhy metabolic health, fasting insulin, CRP, homocysteine, ferritin, and Vitamin D matterThe role of sleep, circadian rhythm, and melatonin in cellular repairHow chronic stress suppresses immune surveillanceThe gut microbiome’s influence on immune functionEnvironmental toxin load (BPA, pesticides, endocrine disruptors)Heavy metals and detox pathwaysMitochondrial health, exercise, and oxygen utilizationEvidence-based supplements that support resilience If you care about longevity, metabolic health, immune optimization, and reducing chronic disease risk, this episode gives you practical levers you can control — alongside appropriate medical care. Because the goal isn’t fear. It’s ownership. Build a body that’s harder for disease to thrive in. If you want cutting edge health consulting, I have various programs and options.

    Episode 20 - How REAL Transformation ACTUALLY Happens (And Why Most Programs Fail)

    🎧 HOW High Performers Transform (At Every Level)Most people don’t fail to transform because they lack discipline. They fail because they chose the wrong level of support. In this episode of the Business Athlete Podcast, I pull back the curtain and explain how real, lasting transformation actually happens — and why one-size-fits-all coaching models break down for high performers. This isn’t a sales pitch. It’s a clarity episode. I walk through the different levels of coaching and support I offer — from self-directed education to fully managed, concierge-level optimization — and explain who each level is actually for, using real-world stories and case studies from people I’ve worked with at every stage. In this episode, you’ll learn: Why mismatch (not motivation) is the real reason people stallThe difference between education, accountability, structure, and full managementWho thrives in a DIY model — and who doesn’tWhy some people need community and cadence, while others need precision and privacyHow high-level performers optimize differently than everyone elseWhat changes when health, performance, and life are managed as a systemThis episode will help you answer a simple but powerful question: “What kind of support do I actually need right now?” If you’ve ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure which path to take next — this conversation will give you the clarity to stop guessing and choose the right lane.

    Episode 19 - Behind the Curtain: EXACTLY How I’d Optimize a Celebrity From the Ground Up (SECRETS)

    🎧 The FULL Stack: How High-Level Humans Actually Optimize (ALL revealed)Everyone sees the end result — the physique, the energy, the presence. Very few people ever see what actually goes on behind the curtain. In this episode of the Business Athlete Podcast, I take you inside a full-scale optimization case study and walk through exactly how I’d approach transforming a high-level individual like Dwayne The Rock Johnson — think celebrity, founder, or elite performer — when there are no shortcuts, no guessing, and no blind spots. This isn’t about extreme biohacks or reckless Hollywood protocols. It’s about building a complete operating system for the human body — done the right way. We cover: Why real optimization always starts with deep diagnostics, not motivationHow bloodwork, food sensitivity testing, and hair mineral analysis guide every decisionUsing nutrition as software, not just caloriesGut health and absorption as non-negotiable foundationsNervous system regulation and stress management as performance multipliersHormone optimization done intelligently — without destroying long-term health or fertilityWhere peptides fit (and where they don’t)Targeted supplementation based on data, not trendsSleep, recovery, and circadian alignment as force multipliersAdvanced recovery tools like massage, lymphatic work, oxygen therapies, NAD, and more This episode is a peek behind the scenes at how high-level humans actually optimize — not for clout, not for aesthetics alone, but for performance, longevity, and quality of life. You don’t need every tool discussed in this episode. But understanding how the full system works will completely change how you approach your own health.

    Episode 18 - The KEY Health Indicator? FERTILITY (How to Build Superhuman Reproductive Health)

    🎧 How to Optimize Male Fertility (Even While on TRT) & Optimizing Fertility in a Toxic WorldMost men are told they have two options when it comes to fertility: stay on hormones and give up on having kids, or come off everything and feel terrible while hoping their body recovers. That’s a false choice. In this episode of the Business Athlete Podcast, we break down how male fertility actually works, why modern life suppresses reproductive health, and how men can intelligently optimize fertility — even while on TRT. BUT we also cover some FEMALE fertility concepts too & for men who are not using TRT. We cover: Why TRT does not automatically mean infertilityHow fertility depends on proper LH and FSH signaling, not just testosterone levelsThe roles of hCG, HMG (FSH), and enclomiphene in preserving sperm productionHow kisspeptin helps restore brain-to-gonad communicationWhy sperm quality matters more than sperm countThe role of oxidative stress and why glutathione is critical for sperm DNA, motility, and morphologyKey micronutrients like zinc, selenium, omega-3s, magnesium, and protein for reproductive healthHow calorie intake, body fat, alcohol, sleep, stress, and heat exposure impact fertilityThe overlooked effects of environmental toxins, plastics, and endocrine disruptorsRealistic timelines for sperm regeneration and what to track along the wayThis episode isn’t about chasing quick fixes or miracle protocols. It’s about understanding fertility as a trainable system — one built through hormones, nutrition, lifestyle, and environment. This would be the kind of episode anyone should listen to who wants to be healthier across the board. If having healthy kids is part of your long-term vision, this episode will change how you think about reproductive health, TRT, and legacy.

    Episode 17 - High Performance PARENTING: Success at Home, Not Just at Work

    🎧 How to Become a Superhuman Parent (Without Burning Out)Building a business is hard. Raising kids is hard. Trying to do both without burning out feels impossible for a lot of people. In this episode of the Business Athlete Podcast, we talk about what it really means to become a superhuman parent — not by doing more, but by building the capacity to lead at home the same way you lead in business. This conversation is for parents who are driven, ambitious, and exhausted — especially those navigating newborns, young kids, sleep deprivation, and the constant pressure of business ownership. We break down: Why true high performance includes health, marriage, and family, not just business successHow chronic stress, poor sleep, and nervous system dysregulation show up as impatience, reactivity, and burnout at homeWhy kids mirror your energy and nervous system, not your wordsHow nutrition, blood sugar stability, and micronutrients influence children’s behavior, mood, and focusThe role of screen time, dopamine, and real-world experiences in shaping attention and resilienceHow homeschooling, Montessori-style learning, and experiential education build curiosity and confidenceWhy entrepreneurship, responsibility, and problem-solving should start earlyHow business stress silently bleeds into family life — and how to create better transitionsThe importance of partnership and communication under parenting pressureWhy legacy isn’t money or lifestyle — it’s the patterns, habits, and values you pass onThis episode isn’t about being a perfect parent. It’s about becoming a regulated, present, and intentional one. If you’re building something meaningful in the world and want to make sure you’re not sacrificing your family in the process, this episode will hit home.

    Episode 16 - Vascular Health: The Real Driver of Longevity & Performance

    🎧 The Truth About Cholesterol, ApoB & Heart DiseaseMost people think if they train hard and do some cardio, their heart must be healthy. That assumption is wrong — and it’s why cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death, even among people who look fit. In this episode of the Business Athlete Podcast, we break down cardiovascular health beyond cardio — focusing on the heart and the vascular system, and why fitness does not equal cardiovascular protection. You’ll learn: Why being “in shape” doesn’t guarantee heart healthThe difference between cholesterol numbers and ApoB particle riskHow inflammation markers like CRP, homocysteine, uric acid quietly damage blood vesselsWhy homocysteine is a methylation issue — not a cholesterol problemHow endothelial health and nitric oxide control blood flow long before plaque formsThe role of VO₂ max, Zone 2 cardio, and walking in long-term heart and vascular healthHow sleep deprivation, chronic stress, and stimulant overuse strain the cardiovascular systemWhy heart rate variability (HRV) trends matter more than daily scores This episode connects performance, longevity, and prevention — giving you a clearer framework for protecting the most important delivery system in your body. If you care about staying sharp, active, and healthy for decades — not just looking fit today — this episode will change how you think about heart health.
