    #110: The Oldest Woman to Finish the Ironman World Championship with Natalie Grabow

    Most people believe aging is a reason to slow down. Natalie Grabow has spent her life proving the opposite. At 80 years old, Natalie became the oldest woman to ever finish the Ironman World Championship in Kona, accomplishing something that inspired athletes around the world and redefined what aging can look like. In this episode of With All Due Respect, Josh and Gray sit down with Natalie to discuss how she learned to swim at 59 years old, built a world-class triathlon career, and continues to train, compete, and chase extraordinary goals in her 80s. This isn't just a conversation about endurance sports. It's about discipline, resilience, purpose, and refusing to let age define what's possible. Natalie shares the mindset that has carried her through injuries, setbacks, family challenges, and one of the toughest endurance events on the planet—all while proving that it's never too late to pursue something extraordinary. We discuss learning to swim at nearly 60, qualifying for Kona, overcoming injuries, the mental side of endurance racing, why discipline outlasts motivation, the importance of family and community, and how intentionally doing hard things builds confidence that carries into every area of life. Natalie's story is a reminder that greatness has no age limit. Whether you're 20 or 80, this conversation will challenge the excuses holding you back and inspire you to keep pursuing what's possible.

    #109: Why Most People Never Reach Their Fitness Goals

    Everyone wants results. Very few people are willing to do what it actually takes. In this episode of With All Due Respect, Josh and Gray have an unfiltered conversation about the biggest mistakes people make when chasing fitness goals—and why motivation is one of the most overrated concepts in health and performance. From physique transformation and strength training to nutrition, coaching, and mental toughness, this episode breaks down the uncomfortable truths behind building a body you're proud of. They discuss why most people train too easy, why consistency always beats motivation, and how discipline is built through doing hard things—not waiting until you feel inspired. Whether you're trying to lose fat, build muscle, improve athletic performance, or simply become a tougher version of yourself, this conversation will challenge the excuses holding you back. Results don't come from checking a box. They come from showing up, doing the work consistently, and embracing the process—even when it's uncomfortable.

    #108: "I ran home 100 miles after my last cancer treatment." with Jayden Lee

    What do you do when life gives you every reason to quit? In this episode of With All Due Respect, we sit down with ultra-runner, philanthropist, real estate agent, and cancer survivor Jayden Lee to hear one of the most inspiring stories we've shared on the podcast. At just 16 years old, Jayden was diagnosed with leukemia after noticing his ability to run was suddenly disappearing. What followed were three and a half years of chemotherapy, years of cancer screenings, and a battle that would change the course of his life forever. But this isn't just a story about surviving cancer. After losing his mother unexpectedly to a heart attack, Jayden struggled with grief, searched for purpose, and looked for a challenge big enough to pull him forward. What started as a simple idea eventually became a 100-kilometer fundraising run for BC Children's Hospital, raising over $125,000. Then came the challenge that captured the attention of hundreds of thousands online. Following his final cancer checkup, Jayden ran 100 miles home from the hospital, turning one of the most significant moments of his life into a mission bigger than himself. Along the way, he raised thousands more for children battling cancer and proved what's possible when purpose is stronger than pain. This episode is about resilience, purpose, service, and discovering what you're capable of when life tests you in ways you never expected. Watch on YouTube and listen on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.

    #107: Women's Orthopedic Health and What Every Active Woman Should Know with Dr. Jocelyn Wittstein

    In this episode of With All Due Respect, we sit down with Dr. Jocelyn Wittstein, orthopedic surgeon, sports medicine specialist at Duke University, researcher, author, and one of the leading voices exploring the intersection of women's health and musculoskeletal health. This conversation dives into a topic that affects millions of women but often goes overlooked: how hormonal changes impact joints, bones, injury risk, recovery, and long-term orthopedic health. Dr. Wittstein shares her work studying female athletes across the lifespan, including ACL injuries, osteoporosis, arthritis, frozen shoulder, menopause, and the unique challenges women face when navigating injury, performance, and aging. We discuss why women experience significantly higher rates of ACL injuries, what researchers still don't fully understand about those injuries, and how hormonal fluctuations may influence ligament health and injury risk. The conversation also explores the connection between perimenopause, menopause, and orthopedic conditions such as frozen shoulder, joint pain, tendon injuries, and bone loss. Dr. Wittstein explains why many women are never educated about these connections and how improving communication between orthopedic specialists and women's health providers could dramatically improve outcomes. We also dive into osteoporosis, arthritis, strength training, bone density, longevity, hormone therapy, ACL reconstruction, meniscus injuries, post-traumatic arthritis, and why education is often just as important as surgery. Whether you're an athlete, coach, parent, healthcare provider, or simply someone who wants to stay active and healthy for life, this episode is packed with practical insights on protecting your body, maintaining performance, and understanding how orthopedic health changes throughout the lifespan.

    #106: PCOS is now PMOS with Mike Wines, PA-C

    In this episode of With All Due Respect, we welcome back Mike for one of our most requested health conversations to date. Together, we take a deep dive into PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome), the recent shift toward the updated PMOS classification, and why so many women struggle to find answers regarding hormones, fertility, metabolism, and long-term health. We break down what PCOS actually is, how it's diagnosed, and why many women are either misdiagnosed or go years without receiving proper testing. Mike explains the Rotterdam Criteria, the role of ovarian cysts, androgen hormones, irregular menstrual cycles, and why insulin resistance may be one of the most overlooked pieces of the entire puzzle. The conversation explores fertility challenges, birth control, metformin, inflammation, blood sugar regulation, fasting insulin, continuous glucose monitors, and why standard lab work often misses early warning signs of metabolic dysfunction. We also discuss lifestyle interventions that can make a meaningful difference, including strength training, nutrition strategies, carbohydrate timing, sleep, movement, omega-3 supplementation, and reducing chronic inflammation. Along the way, the discussion expands into women's health, hormonal health, modern lifestyle factors, environmental influences, and the importance of understanding your body long before symptoms become major problems. Whether you're a woman navigating PCOS, a coach working with female athletes, a healthcare professional, or simply someone looking to better understand hormones, metabolism, and fertility, this episode offers practical insights and a fresh perspective on a condition that affects millions of women worldwide.

    #105: Pelvic Floor Health and Performance with Dr. Rachel Selman

    In this episode of With All Due Respect, we sit down with Dr. Rachel Selman, physical therapist, strength coach, performance specialist, and one of the leading voices bringing pelvic floor health into the performance conversation. For years, pelvic floor discussions have been viewed as something that only applies to pregnancy and postpartum recovery. Rachel explains why that mindset is outdated and why pelvic floor function matters for every athlete—male or female. We dive into the connection between pelvic floor dysfunction and recurring injuries, including low back pain, hip pain, groin strains, hamstring injuries, performance limitations, and even issues that many athletes don't realize may be connected to their training. Rachel shares her journey from traditional insurance-based physical therapy to performance-focused rehabilitation, discusses the frustrations of the current healthcare system, and explains why so many athletes are being under-loaded, under-educated, and underserved throughout the recovery process. We also explore pregnancy, postpartum recovery, women's sports, strength training during pregnancy, and the growing body of research challenging many of the outdated recommendations that female athletes have been given for years. The conversation expands into athlete development, coaching, performance anxiety, injury prevention, return-to-play protocols, and why pelvic floor education should become a normal part of athletic development long before injuries occur. Whether you're a coach, athlete, parent, strength coach, physical therapist, or simply someone looking to better understand how the body performs, this episode is packed with practical insights that can change the way you think about training, recovery, and performance.

    #104: "Why I ran for 24 hours on a treadmill." with Edwin Martin

    In this episode of With All Due Respect, we sit down with ultra runner Edwin Martin to talk about one of the craziest endurance challenges we’ve ever heard of — running for 24 straight hours on a treadmill while raising awareness for suicide prevention. Edwin breaks down what really happens during an ultra-endurance event: the mental warfare, the physical pain, the loneliness, the stomach issues, the hallucination-like exhaustion, and the moments where quitting feels inevitable. We dive into how he got started in endurance sports, running his first marathon with almost no training, completing a full Ironman on a partially torn Achilles, and eventually becoming obsessed with testing his physical and mental limits. This conversation goes far beyond running. We talk about discipline, suffering, faith, resilience, identity, pushing past perceived limits, and what happens when you willingly step into discomfort over and over again. From throwing up blood during the treadmill challenge… to surviving off spoon-fed peanut butter for hours… to the emotional crash after crossing the finish line — this episode gives a raw look into what it actually takes to endure something most people would never even attempt. We also discuss ultra marathon culture, last-man-standing races, mental toughness, social media pressure, injury, recovery, purpose, faith, and why Edwin believes hard things change people. One of the wildest and most inspiring conversations we’ve had on the podcast. You can watch With All Due Respect on YouTube or listen on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.

    #103: Breaking the Cycle of Emotional Eating with Blake Holloman

    In this episode of With All Due Respect, we sit down with Blake Holloman — family pastor, football coach, husband, father, and someone who has spent years battling weight, food addiction, emotional eating, and identity. This conversation goes far beyond fat loss. Blake opens up about growing up in a single-parent household, using food as comfort from a young age, secretly binge eating as an adult, and the emotional panic he felt around hunger and meals for most of his life. He shares what it was like to be “the athletic big guy,” constantly identified by his size no matter how hard he trained or how healthy he actually was. We also dive deep into the mental side of overeating, the pressure of identity, church culture and food, coaching athletes while struggling personally, fatherhood, emotional habits, and how GLP-1 medications helped quiet the constant “food noise” in his head. This is an honest conversation about discipline, shame, hope, health, and what it really means to change your life. One of the most powerful episodes we’ve recorded.
