    #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 Rachel explains why that mindset is outdated and why pelvic floor function matters for every athlete—male or female.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recovery, women's sports, strength training during pregnancy, and the growing body of research challenging many of the outdated recommendations that female athletes have been given for years.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.

    101: The Rebrand, High Performers, and Real Conversations

    Welcome to Episode 101 of With All Due Respect — and the start of a new direction for the podcast. This isn’t a rebrand because anything was broken… it’s a rebrand because things have evolved. With more conversations, more experiences, and a broader perspective, it only made sense to expand what this platform can be. In this episode, we dive into where the show is headed, including bringing on more high performers from all walks of life — not just fitness. We talk about the kind of people who quietly do incredible things without needing attention, and why those are the stories worth telling. From there, the conversation shifts into youth sports and the ongoing issue of early specialization, especially at younger ages. We break down why it’s still happening, why it’s a problem, and what needs to change. We also get into a real, unfiltered discussion around GLP-1s, microdosing, and coaching clients through that process. This includes the importance of habits, long-term sustainability, and why shortcuts without structure don’t work. As the episode unfolds, we get into deeper conversations around mindset, relationships, and human behavior — including why people stay in toxic environments, how upbringing shapes decision-making, and how chaos can feel normal depending on your background. It eventually leads into a broader discussion on masculinity, femininity, and how personal experiences influence beliefs, identity, and relationships over time. Like most of our conversations, this one goes in a lot of directions — but that’s exactly what makes it real. This episode sets the tone for what’s coming next: more conversations, more perspectives, and a bigger vision for the podcast.

    #100: Weight Loss at What Cost? with Mike Wines

    Episode 100—and we’re bringing back Mike Wines for a conversation that goes deeper than surface-level fitness trends. With the rise of GLP-1s, peptides, and rapid weight loss solutions, more people are chasing faster results—but very few are talking about the long-term cost. In this episode, we break down what’s really happening beneath the surface, from muscle loss and performance decline to the often-overlooked risk of osteoporosis and compromised bone health. This isn’t about being for or against these tools—it’s about understanding how to use them responsibly, and why the fundamentals still matter. We get into the role of strength training, proper nutrition, hormones, and inflammation, and how ignoring those pieces can lead to bigger problems down the road. If you’re focused on losing weight, improving performance, or just trying to stay healthy long-term, this episode will give you a clearer perspective on what actually works—and what can quietly work against you.
