    Pirate's Booty: Life on the Road with the Wanderlust Circus (Dispatch 7)

    Before the girls hit menarche, they trailed rainbow sorbet, tie-dye, and enough Pirate's Booty to leave a breadcrumb trail across every airport in North America. In this episode, Jeff remembers the summers his family spent touring with the Wanderlust yoga festivals: one squeaky roller bag, three dozen Trader Joe's totes, and three young daughters who could double as walking coat racks. Pirate's Booty wasn't just a snack; it was how the ops team always managed to track him down. The story lands at a Vancouver airport ticket counter, where the "yogul" of Wanderlust finally, and very publicly, loses his equanimity. This is the 7th episode of Diaries of a Dance Dad, an audio memoir series in Jeff's own words. It spans the full arc of parenthood: the inhale of birth and early chaos, the grind of no sleep and travel with kids, the gut-punches of failure, and the slow exhale of letting go.

    Brain Defenders: Reversing Alzheimer’s Risk with Dr. David Perlmutter

    Alzheimer's isn't just a diagnosis that shows up in old age. It's a slow metabolic unraveling that can start decades before the first symptom. In this episode, Jeff sits down with Dr. David Perlmutter, a board-certified neurologist and author of the new book Brain Defenders (out August 18), to unpack what's really driving Alzheimer's and other neurodegenerative diseases. They get into the brain's own immune system, the microglial cells that either protect or destroy your neurons, and why the beta-amyloid hypothesis may have sent decades of research down the wrong path. Why microglia, not amyloid plaques, may be the true driver of brain degeneration The link between insulin resistance, blood sugar, and neuroinflammation How the gut microbiome and oral health shape the brain's immune response Practical diet, sleep, and supplement strategies to protect your brain starting now This episode is for anyone who wants to understand Alzheimer's prevention before symptoms start, and for the millions currently caring for a parent or partner facing cognitive decline.

    A Bedtime Fairy Tale: How I Met Your Mother, Twenty-Five Years Later (Dispatch 6)

    On his 25th wedding anniversary, Jeff tucks his daughter Micah into bed and tells her a fairy tale — except this one is true. It's the story of how he met her mother. In this episode, that story unfolds: a freshman art history class in 1988, a late entrance, a grapefruit, and instant infatuation. Jeff traces 25 years of courtship, marriage, and three daughters through fable, wit, and unvarnished tenderness, closing on a wish Micah won't fully understand until she's older. This is the fourth episode of Diaries of a Dance Dad, an audio memoir series in Jeff's own words. It spans the full arc of parenthood: the inhale of birth and early chaos, the grind of no sleep and travel with kids, the gut-punches of failure, and the slow exhale of letting go.

    Trauma Is the Wound, Not the Event: Dr. Gabor Maté

    Trauma isn't what happened to you, it's the wound it left behind. In this episode, Jeff revisits his conversation with Dr. Gabor Maté, physician and author, exploring why the effects of trauma can outlast the event itself, and why chronic illness is so often the body asking us to pay attention. Why "normal" isn't the same as healthy The difference between a traumatic event and the trauma itself How disconnecting from ourselves can show up as physical illness What forgiveness actually has to do with healing This episode is for anyone who has wondered why some wounds take longer to heal than others.

    Being There: Fathering Daughters Into Adolescence (Dispatch 5)

    To his three daughters, Jeff is just "there" — a treasured family heirloom, the silver platter that lives on the shelf and rarely gets used. In this episode, Jeff surfaces from five delirious days of stomach flu, his girls recording TikTok dances around his sickbed, and uses the quiet to trace the unglamorous work of fathering: dawn walks through Williamsburg with a baby zipped against his chest, bedtime reading marathons that ended only when sleep finally won, and the slow shift from carrying his daughters to chauffeuring them. Schuyler joins to talk about what remains when influence gives way to presence, and why the thing that matters most may be the least visible — showing up every day and asking nothing in return. This is the 5th episode of Diaries of a Dance Dad, an audio memoir series in Jeff's own words. It spans the full arc of parenthood: the inhale of birth and early chaos, the grind of no sleep and travel with kids, the gut-punches of failure, and the slow exhale of letting go.

    Is This Right for Me? Nicotine for Focus and the Zyn Boom

    Andrew Huberman has talked about it. Joe Rogan uses it. Nicotine for focus has become one of the loudest trends in optimization culture, marketed as a clean stimulant for your prefrontal cortex. In this episode, the "Is This Right for Me?" series separates the real pharmacology from the marketing. How nicotine acts on attention, memory, and dopamine What a major meta-analysis found, and how small the effect really is Why nicotine pouches and Zyn carry risks that caffeine does not The difference between harm reduction for smokers and a nootropic for everyone else What actually builds durable focus instead of renting it This episode is for anyone curious about nicotine pouches, focus and cognition, or the gap between wellness claims and evidence.   This episode was made possible by: CocoaVia: Use code COMMUNE2026 for 25% off at CocoaVia.com Stemregen: Get 20% off your first order at stemregen.co/commune with the code COMMUNEPOD Vivobarefoot: Try Vivobarefoot risk-free with a 100-day return guarantee, and get 25% off your order at vivobarefoot.com/commune.

    My Brest Friend: The Co-Sleeping Years (Dispatch 4)

    The early years of parenthood are spent almost entirely in bed — and almost never asleep. In this episode, Jeff revisits the co-sleeping years: a toddler who slept sideways, turning three bodies into a capital "H" and pushing both parents to the far edges of a California King; the strange comfort of dangling half off the mattress; and the parade of baubles that promise to ease new parenthood — chief among them the peerless My Brest Friend nursing pillow. Schuyler joins to walk through the Bugaboo prams, the Dutailier glider, the bedtime ritual of "steam roller," and the 3 a.m. bargain of whispering "give it to me" to a feverish kid. This is part of Diaries of a Dance Dad, an audio memoir series in Jeff's own words. It spans the full arc of parenthood: the inhale of birth and early chaos, the grind of no sleep and travel with kids, the gut-punches of failure, and the slow exhale of letting go.
