    Mark Sisson: Born To Walk - Endurance Running is Unhealthy and a Walking-Oriented Lifestyle Is Essential For Health

    I am joined by Mark Sisson for the wonderful occasion of a new book coming out—Born To Walk. Tune in to hear us talk all about the book, from the title to what made Mark realize that this story had to be told, what the research about running has actually revealed, and why running is, in many cases, antithetical to good health for a lot of people. You’ll hear us talk about the fascinating research we discovered that supports this idea that humans were born to walk, and while we are able to run (and can run occasionally as a result of walking a lot, sprinting once in a while, lifting heavy things, moving around and moving through space and time), we were not born to run metronomic eight-minute miles every day, day in and day out as some means to achieving some longevity goal or some health goal. As you will learn in this episode, the running boom of the last 50 years was built upon a House of Cards, and on the idea that humans are born to run. But, humans were not born to run—we were born to walk, and in this episode, you will find out why!   TIMESTAMPS: We are looking at increasing your longevity through low level aerobic activity. {00:48] The idea that running was the best route to longevity has been downplayed. [05:56] Shoes have made big changes in the way people run. With the thick soled running shoes, there has been no decrease in running injuries. [08:03] Everybody assumes that running is the sort of gold standard of weight loss, of achieving good health, of mental fortitude, and being able to overcome discomfort. [14:32] What is so appealing about a marathon? [16:47] There are much kinder, gentler ways to achieve great health, not get injured and support the other things that you're doing as part of your longevity program. [21:10] Why doesn’t running and burning calories work in pursuit of reducing excess body fat? [22:27] There are two kinds of fat.  The subcutaneous fat which is simply unpleasant and the visceral fat which is terribly harmful for your health. [24:51] They promised better results with new cushioned shoes but these shoes have done nothing to decrease injury.  [27:21] Understanding chronic cardio is so important in the endurance scene. You can take a good thing too far. [36:52] Mark had to change the way he pursued his athletic life.   After retiring from elite competition, how did he learn to train at a lower level? [45:09] The Ordeal of the Obligate Runner is the title of one of the chapters.  What does that mean? [48:31] What is the difference between being a sugar burner and a fat burner? [56:54] There is research showing that if you just have a lighter shoe, you save four minutes over a marathon. [01:02:36] We encourage you to walk but you need to learn the proper form. [01:07:06] What is the primal approach for getting more energy? You don't need to run to give yourself immortality [01:18:27]   LINKS: Brad Kearns.com Brad’s Shopping page B.rad Whey Protein Isolate Superfuel - The Best Protein on The Planet!

    Brad Kearns Describes the Process of Writing A Book And Introduces "Born To Walk"

    I'm so pleased to introduce another show with my main man, Mark Sisson, especially on the occasion of yet another book launch of the exciting new title, Born to Walk! We can't wait to release this book to the world and promote the heck out of it, but this episode is a nice comprehensive overview of the content in the book as we try to stick to covering things chapter by chapter. You will hear about the intriguing presentation—it’s really a two part book where part one details the broken promises and the unintended consequences of the running broom and how running is quite likely unhealthy for the vast majority of participants, while part two is embracing the Born to Walk lifestyle. You will hear about the comprehensive benefits of aerobic conditioning and building a base the correct way, the genetics of walking and the human imperative to walk for optimal health, foot functionality, and how to embark upon a full-body functional fitness program that is rooted in general everyday movement as a foundation, but also requires you to engage in the primal approach of strength training, brief intense resistance, exercise, occasional all out sprints, and of course, playtime.  One question I hear a lot is: “What's it like to write a book? What's the process like?” and in this show, I answer that question, sharing details of my writing process, the things I’ve learned from years of working on books, and my advice to people who want to write a book.   TIMESTAMPS: Brad’s advice is if you want to write a book you need to just start typing. [01:57] Part one of the book covers broken promises of the running boom, weight loss, calorie burning, padded shoes, and chronic cardio. [04:44] Part two is more positive, telling about the benefits of building an aerobic base and the benefits of walking in barefoot shoes.

    Brad Kearns: Longevity Science is Wrong - Don't Succumb to BS Commentary and Self-Limiting Beliefs

    Let's talk about longevity and how the science can sometimes be BS. A listener recently shared a prominent news story with me that suggests that humanity is hitting the upper limit of life expectancy and that people will top out at a maximum age of around 87, 90 for women and 84 for men. To quote the lead study author, S.J. .Olshansky, professor of epidemiology and biostatistics at University of Illinois, Chicago: “We’re basically suggesting that as long as we live now is about as long as we're going to live, we're squeezing less and less life out of these life-extending technologies.”  In this episode, I talk about why this is a great example of how science can be stupid, inapplicable, misinterpreted and misapplied. There are highly competent researchers doing great, important work, with likely highly reliable results, but we also know that this is not always the case. In the case of the Blue Zones, principal researchers admittedly took their liberties with the information about eating habits in order to advance their plant-based agenda. The ways that research relating to exercise physiology can often deliver distorted conclusions because of factors like the nature of the subjects, the duration of the study, and the failure to control confounding variables is something I’ve discussed on the show before, and while I agree that we’re not magically going to live longer because of amazing new drugs, a far more interesting discussion to me is how we are ruining our natural human lifespan potential in modern times. My personal view on this is that almost everyone has the potential to sail smoothly to 100, taking advantage of modern medical intervention when necessary, but mainly by simply not getting in our own way (and this even includes people that have been dealt a bad hand with genetics such as a family propensity for obesity, heart disease, cancer, and so forth). In this episode, I talk about some ways to not become a statistic and how to actualize your human potential by getting out of your way and doing some cool stuff too, and why the main emphasis must always be on health span, not lifespan.   TIMESTAMPS: According to a recent article advances in medical technology and genetic research are not translating into lifespan overall. Are we really at a plateau? [00:51] The problem with these studies is that the scientists are looking at a population that is leading a very unhealthy lifestyle in general. [06:57] In any scientific study, there are many variables so one always needs to view the results accordingly. [11:08] You may have familial genes for predisposition for things like obesity, heart disease, cancer and so forth, but you need environmental influences to trigger those diseases. [12:07] Can we do anything to defy those statistics about how long we are going to live? [17:05] Sleep, rest, relaxation, recovery, and downtime are critically important. [21:45] Circadian rhythm is a number one concern, according to Dr. Kruse. Minimize the light in your home after dark. [23:47] Clean up your act. You cannot focus on longevity if you have crap in your life. This includes toxic relationships.  [34:58] Look at your behavior patterns.  Be positive. Envision your happy healthy life because you are taking control of your diet and exercise for sailing into the long future. [40:22] The media programs us to believe something that gets us to limit our thinking. [43:49] When you focus on plant-based eating, for whatever reason, it is high risk unless you also get nutrient-dense foods. We need protein. [46:35] Walking is the single most essential requirement for your health and longevity. Move frequently and take breaks from your work. [49:57] Sprinting added to your daily routine is very valuable. [59:56] Digital technology has played havoc on our social connections. Don’t put health and longevity on the back burner.  Care about it! 01:05:42] Beware of how consumerism is luring you with its profit

    Tom Hodge: A Sensible, Empowering Approach To Endurance Training, Dealing With Childhood Issues, And Rejecting Victim Mentality (With Mark Sisson's Help!)

    Get ready listeners for a most unusual and heavy and unique show with my old friend Tom Hodge! Tom is an endurance adventurer living an interesting dream life of enjoyable but extensive endurance exercise every day, traveling the globe for major events, mixing with top athletes and watching them perform, and being on this amazing journey that he's going to tell you about in this episode. You will hear about his recent global odyssey and how it turned into a fantastic exploration of how childhood trauma affects us all our whole lives, how we use distraction, endurance, suffering, and drinking to avoid facing things and also how Tom hit rock bottom and then abruptly turned everything around by staring at a wall. You will hear Mark Sisson’s name brought up often in the story and learn about the special relationship Tom and Mark share and how Mark was the only person who “saw through everything.” I think this show will be really valuable for everyone to reflect on how we carry stuff our whole lives and the benefits of waking up and doing honest self-assessment. As my former podcast guest Bruce Lipton says, our subconscious programming occurs from age 0-7 and then we operate from our subconscious 95% of the time, for the rest of our lives! Listen as Tom goes deep and gets vulnerable, incredibly honest, and reflective as he talks about his wild ride. It’s a pretty colorful show—you will hear about how he went from UCLA student to being a highly paid model in Japan after getting randomly discovered—a career that took him around the world for 25 years. You will learn why Tom eventually rejected his victim mentality, reconciled his childhood issues with gratitude, self-exploration (without any outside help), and turned things around to where he stands today. It’s wild, it's mind blowing, and you are going to love this show, especially if you’re a younger listener and dreaming of a career and trying to figure out which career path to take. Regardless of age or where you’re at in your life, there are so many valuable lessons to take away from this show, especially the importance of self-exploration and honesty and avoiding our collective penchant for distraction every second of every day so we don’t have to face things that might unlock a path to a more fulfilling and grateful life.   TIMESTAMPS: Psychological experts today talk about how our childhood programming is something we play out every day. [01:08] It shouldn’t matter if you are first or last.  It is what you get out of the activity itself. [06:12] How does one define failure? How can one deal with insecurities? [07:52] Childhood programming is being studied more and more as for its effects on our current personhood. [15:42] Usually when are drinking excessive alcohol, you are trying to numb some childhood trauma. [17:40] Tom had to leave his dysfunctional family and try to make it on his own. [20:56] Because of Tom’s dyslexia, he had difficulty reading.  He bought a book to read, determined to master that skill. At the same time, he committed to exercise, all this to avoid alcohol. [30:32] Addiction to exercise can be toxic. [43:58] If your grip strength is weak, it is directly correlated with your predicted lifespan.  The greatest currency one can have is time. [01:00:32] How does one learn to deal with this subject of childhood trauma? [01:07:42] There is much more distractibility in today’s world.  Much more stress than before advanced technology.

    Brad Kearns: Diet, Exercise, and Lifestyle Tips For Natural Testosterone Optimization

    This is an important show to help you be the best you can be throughout life, instead of following the typical path of accelerated aging and hormone decline driven by adverse lifestyle practices. Besides doing regular blood tests for male sex hormone panels, there is an obvious scoreboard to monitor in the form of visceral fat. Fighting the spare tire battle is the essence of aging gracefully, as visceral fat accumulation begets the accumulation of more fat and suppressed hormones. The tips outlined in this episode are simple, doable, sustainable and inexpensive—I will cover fitness (emphasizing sprinting and lower body strength training), diet (emphasizing protein and ditching processed foods), some talk about supplements, healthy romantic relationship dynamics, and a bit of proven biohacking such as red light therapy and therapeutic cold exposure.   TIMESTAMPS: How about some lifestyle tips for natural testosterone optimization? [00:54] When you want to think about hormone optimization, look first at sprinting. [04:18] You have to watch out for a pattern of overly stressful workouts. [07:29] The proper way to sprint is to give a near maximum effort of 92 to 95% and also take good recovery period. [09:27] Brad talks about how he does his own sprint workouts. A six to one ratio recovery to work interval is the goal. [14:19] Strength training involves emphasis on correct form, precise technique, and keeping your core stabilized. [21:09]  Monitor your testosterone level for your overall level of energy, vitality and anti-aging longevity status. [31:19] When looking at your diet, the foremost objective is to consume sufficient protein. [34:27] Vegans and vegetarians need to be very careful in your efforts to consume sufficient protein. [36:35] People who engage in intermittent fasting need to be concerned about getting sufficient protein. [39:52] As we age, our protein synthesis diminishes our ability to digest and assimilate and use protein as the building blocks for muscle and all other organs. [41:47] There have always been arguments about the macronutrients, fat and carbohydrate, but the bottom line if you eliminate the nutrient deficient foods, you are on the right track. [42:52] A spare tire is a sign of serious health disturbance. [46:48] Whey protein, and creatine are the very best, cleanest, freshest natural sources of protein.  [51:17] There are many supplements that claim to boost your energy, strength, build muscle and increase libido. [57:56] There are hormonal underpinnings that influence relationship dynamics. [59:45] Red light therapy can also boost your testosterone production. [01:04:08] There are some things to avoid that tank your testosterone. Stay away from plastics. [01:06:50] A sedentary lifestyle promotes chronic inflammation.  Keep moving.

    Brad Kearns: 3 Tips For Young Career Aspirants (Be Like A Machine!)

    If you want some career advice, this is the episode for you! While the topic of this show will be particularly relevant for younger listeners, listeners of all ages can relate to struggling with maintaining a positive attitude and hopeful prospects about the future. This episode was inspired by a young friend of mine who has just finished schooling and is looking to embark on a career, but feeling stressed about the opportunities, challenges, financial stresses-loans—the usual suspects. A relatable issue for most people, and more than ever these days as the younger generation faces much difficulty with landing jobs and other challenging external issues (such as the rising cost of living in urban areas and housing prices). It can be immensely challenging to find time to even enjoy your free time when you have a life burden like this hanging over your head, and when is it going to change? Not likely anytime soon, so in this episode, I offer three pieces of advice I shared with my friend for acting most effectively during challenging times and for accomplishing your career goals. You will learn how to “be like a machine,” what it means to pursue your inspired purpose, the one question to ask yourself any time you experience anxiety, stress, or fear, my thoughts on asking others for help, and more advice to help you navigate your pursuit of your goals.   TIMESTAMPS: It is difficult these days for young people to find their way in a career path. [00:49] It is hard to maintain a positive attitude and focus at this time in your young life. You have to be like a machine. [02:50] Learn to deal with setbacks and misfortunes that will come your way and keep going. Pursue your inspired purpose. [10:16] Look at your progress as stepping stones. [15:22] Sometimes your inspired purpose does not bring financial success. [20:58] Ask yourself what should I be doing right now?  When you experience fear and anxiety, redirect your focus to your values. [28:05] If you tend to carry around your worries, fears and anxieties, instead of enjoying your life, realize that this is a game you play with yourself so you can save face. [32:42] Reach out for help in a polite and considerate way and make sure you have something to offer.

    Brad Kearns: Disciplined Open-Mindedness, The Real Secrets Of Blue Zones, And Focusing On The Big Picture

    A listener asked me about what I think about the resets…..fasting, keto, carbs, hormetic stressors, and vegan propaganda..  My knee-jerk reply was that we all need to step back and focus on the big picture. It's also important to never get frustrated, and to work hard to stay open minded and think critically instead of succumbing to the marketing hype and the controversy and confusion in the health game.  It might be a great strategy to focus on self-experimentation. Be willing to experiment, measure results, and evaluate for future modification and refinement. I get into some of the Blue Zones talking points that can be described as propaganda and flat-out unsubstantiated (plant-based promotes longevity!), versus the most valuable takeaways for happiness and longevity (move more!) If you hear anyone spouting maxims like this, turn and run screaming in the opposite direction: "A cup of beans a day could add two to three years to your life.” Here's an awesome Blue Zones insight: "They're driven by life's meaning and purpose. They’re investing in family, keeping their minds engaged and there’s no existential stress of being worthless in life like so many Americans." Enjoy the show and check in with me at podcast@bradventures.com   TIMESTAMPS: There is much controversy and confusion in the progressive health scene about how to pursue longevity. [00:48] It takes a concerted effort to maintain our open-mindedness and our ability to think critically. [02:44] Human life expectancy has fluctuated in the early years and now, with all the medical improvements, it has gone up, however, the USA is not rated very highly compared to other countries. [07:49] When in doubt, do self-experimentation rather than relying on some information that is out there like the Blue Zone. The plant-based diet has been attacked by people in the know.  [12:05] A good goal is you should have around one gram of protein per pound of your ideal body weight. [19:58] What about fasting, time-restricted feeding and calories restriction in pursuit of longevity? [21:49] Brad is pretty sure he does not want to take any prescription medication unless absolutely necessary.  He wants his body to work naturally.

    Katy Bowman: Integrate Movement Into Daily Life, And Don't Overdo Your Fitness Efforts!

    It is time for more Katy Bowman! Katy is one of my favorite educators in the health and fitness scene and her Nutritious Movement movement is so awesome and has such a great following (check out her Instagram to see her thoughtful commentary and the beautiful, Earth-based lifestyle she is living out there on the Olympic Peninsula of Washington). This is a very educational episode as Katy illustrates the importance of a movement-oriented lifestyle separate and distinct from one’s fitness regimen—so integrating movement into your day, throughout the day, and not just for one isolated block of time. Katy is also a book writing machine with a new book, My Perfect Movement Plan: The Move Your DNA All Day Workbook. This is an unusual book because it is formatted like a journal, asking you to participate in the process and further connect with the message. Instead of a simple Q&A about her book, this episode is a thoughtful conversation about the impact movement and fitness can have on the human body. You will learn why athletic training can often be counterproductive to health, and how to integrate movement into your daily life in a graceful and sustainable way. It’s really not a huge ask and it has a massively beneficial impact on your health because instead of trying to get your butt to the gym and get in shape, it’s more about being mindful of your environment and your surroundings, and utilizing Katy’s quick, actionable tips so you can enjoy a more movement oriented lifestyle. Katy Bowman, M.S. is a biomechanist, bestselling author, and founder of Nutritious Movement. She has written many books on the importance of a diverse movement diet including Move Your DNA, Rethink Your Position, Whole Body Barefoot, and her latest My Perfect Movement Plan: The Move Your DNA All Day Workbook. Follow her on Instagram @NutritiousMovement and enjoy listening to this practical and informative episode with Katy.   TIMESTAMPS: How does one integrate movement into daily life? Even athletes need to get way better at having a more movement-oriented lifestyle. [00:51] Most casual endurance athletes are overdoing it to the extreme excess and the extreme detriment to their overall general health. [7:04] Cardio, strength, and flexibility should all be packaged together. [12:03] By watching the Paralympics, people will be inspired to improve their exercise habits. [13:34] People easily lose motivation like when they used COVID as an excuse of why they got out of shape. [18:32] Sometimes we are strong in only one narrow area of fitness rather than all around fitness. What movements are functional for an average human? [21:34] It really is quite easy to integrate movement into your lifestyle. Do squats in line at the taco truck, anyone? [27:48] The fitness industry is pervasive.  You are told you must buy exercise equipment and dietary supplements when maybe you can get what you need at home. [29:30] Psychologists are exploring the reasons or excuses people have for not being more active. [33:10] There seems to be a focus on athleticism rather than just recognize movement as important. [36:43] Living in the digital age, we find ourselves constantly entertained and connected which compromises movement. {48:19] Life is busy.  It is so important to walk, walk, walk.
