    EP 125: The Hardest Road to the NFL | Garett Bolles’ Comeback

    This is one of the most powerful conversations we’ve had on Your Ultimate Comeback. In Episode 125, Brad and Raquel sit down with Garett Bolles, left tackle for the Denver Broncos and 1st-team All-Pro, to talk about the road that got him there — and it wasn’t easy. From a turbulent childhood and time in juvenile detention to struggling with learning disabilities, Garett’s story is about more than football. It’s about resilience, identity, and choosing a different path when everything is stacked against you. We get into: • The reality behind his NFL journey — highs and lows  • Growing up misunderstood and navigating learning disabilities  • The moment he found purpose beyond football  • His work with at-risk youth and juvenile facilities  • Building the GB3 Foundation • Opening the Bjorem + Bolles Childhood Apraxia Training Center • Why giving back is bigger than the game Garett shares how love, support, and mentorship changed his life — and how he’s now doing the same for others who need it most. This episode isn’t about stats.  It’s about legacy, impact, and becoming the person you needed growing up. If you’ve ever felt counted out, misunderstood, or like your past defines you — this conversation will hit home. Support Garett’s work: 👉 GB3 Foundation 👉 ⁠https://garettbolles72.com/⁠

    EP 123: Aging, Falls & The Truth About Staying Strong

    This episode hits close to home. In Episode 123 of Your Ultimate Comeback, Raquel shares a personal experience that changed her perspective on aging, strength, and long-term health — her mom’s fall and hip fracture. What seems like a random accident is often the result of something deeper: loss of strength, balance, and resilience over time. Brad and Raquel use this moment to have a real conversation about what it actually takes to stay independent, mobile, and strong as we age. This episode isn’t about fear.  It’s about preparation. We talk about: • Why falls become more common with age  • The real role of strength training in preventing injuries  • Why weightlifting is about longevity, not aesthetics  • How sitting and inactivity accelerate decline  • Why most people overestimate their physical abilities  • The importance of consistency over intensity  • How to build balance, stability, and confidence in your body You don’t need complicated workouts.  You need consistent movement and strength. The habits you build today will shape your life 10–20 years from now. If you’ve ever thought “I’ll start later,” this episode is your reminder not to wait.

    EP 122: Why Your Old Fitness Strategy Isn’t Working Anymore

    Getting your health back after 40 isn’t about doing more.  It’s about doing the right things, in the right order. In Episode 122 of Your Ultimate Comeback, Brad and Raquel break down the biggest mistakes people make when trying to “get back on track” — and why going all-in too fast often leads to burnout, injuries, and frustration. Your body in your 40s and 50s isn’t the same as it was in your 20s. Hormones shift, stress accumulates, and recovery becomes just as important as effort. In this episode, we cover: • Why aggressive workouts backfire after 40  • Why strategies from your 20s stop working  • How stress and fatigue impact your progress  • The importance of strength training for longevity  • Why sleep, nutrition, and consistency matter more than intensity  • How to build non-negotiables that actually stick  • The real impact of alcohol on performance and recovery We also talk about the behind-the-scenes habits that actually create results — the ones most people overlook while chasing quick fixes. If you’re feeling stuck, tired, or overwhelmed trying to “do everything right,” this episode will help you simplify your approach and build a sustainable path forward. Slow down. Build smarter. Stay consistent.

    Ep 120: The New Food Pyramid Just Flipped Everything

    Welcome to Episode 120 of Your Ultimate Comeback with Brad and Raquel. In this episode, we’re talking about something bigger than just a new year.  We’re entering a new era of nutrition and health. For decades, we were told that fat was the enemy, protein should be limited, and carbohydrates should make up the bulk of our diet. But the new food pyramid has completely flipped that model upside down. Instead of eating like a bakery, the new guidelines suggest we should eat more like a steakhouse. If it grows in the ground or walks on the earth, it’s probably a better choice than ultra-processed foods. Brad and Raquel break down what this shift means and how to apply it in real life, including: • Why protein and healthy fats are foundational for metabolic health  • The “protein and vegetables first” strategy for better blood sugar control  • Why many people are under-eating protein  • How coffee before protein in the morning impacts hormones  • Why intermittent fasting isn’t ideal for everyone We also discuss a major development in the world of peptides. Many peptides that were previously misunderstood or restricted are now becoming more accessible through physician guidance, opening new possibilities for recovery, longevity, and metabolic health. If you’ve ever felt confused about nutrition advice, this episode will help simplify things and give you practical strategies you can apply immediately. This isn’t just a new year. It’s a new era of eating and health optimization.

    EP 119: The Cardio Myth That’s Ruining Your Fat Loss

    If you’re over 40, you’ve probably been told that losing fat means doing more cardio. In Episode 119 of Your Ultimate Comeback, Brad and Raquel break down why that advice is outdated — and sometimes counterproductive. More cardio doesn’t automatically mean more fat loss. In fact, excessive cardio can elevate stress hormones, impact recovery, and make it harder to maintain muscle mass as you age. In this episode, we unpack the biggest cardio myths, including: • Myth #1: More cardio equals more fat loss  • Myth #2: If you’re not drenched in sweat, it doesn’t count  • Myth #3: Cardio ruins muscle  • Myth #4: You need long sessions to see results Instead of endless treadmill sessions, we explain how to combine strength training with smart cardiovascular work to build a stronger engine without sacrificing muscle. You’ll learn: • Why Zone 2 cardio is one of the most powerful longevity tools  • How VO₂ max training improves lifespan and performance  • The role of movement-based cardio and NEAT  • The ideal cardio formula for sustainable fat loss after 40 If you’re tired of chasing fat loss with more and more cardio, this episode will help you train smarter, recover better, and protect your muscle while improving your heart health. Let’s rebuild your approach to cardio — the right way.

    EP 118: The Blueprint for Energy & Longevity (Ikaria Method Explained)

    Welcome to Episode 118 of Your Ultimate Comeback, where Brad and Raquel introduce the foundation behind a new approach to health and longevity: The Ikaria Method. As we move past 35 and into our 40s and beyond, the goal shifts. It’s no longer just about fat loss or muscle gain. It’s about energy, resilience, and quality of life. The Acaria Method is built on one core belief:  Energy isn’t a feeling. It’s a biological output. Instead of relying on caffeine, extreme workouts, or crash dieting, this method focuses on engineering your energy systems through three foundational pillars: • Strength and movement  • Metabolic nutrition  • Recovery optimization Brad explains why training should increase your energy, not drain it, why 30–50g of protein at breakfast can change your day, and why recovery practices like sauna and sleep are non-negotiable for longevity. You’ll also hear how peptides fit into the bigger picture — not as shortcuts, but as amplifiers once the fundamentals are in place. If you’re over 35, juggling career, family, stress, and trying to stay healthy without burning out, this episode lays out a smarter path forward. This is about redefining what aging looks like.  More strength.  More clarity.  More sustainable energy. Welcome to the Ikaria Method.
