One of the amazing gut-heathy benefits of bone broth is bestowed by the content of glycine. Bone broth contains around 20% glycine by weight. Awareness about getting more glycine in the diet is becoming a growing trend. Many people feel angst about using artificial sweeteners to replace sugar in their diet confused about their safety. Even the natural non-nutritive sweetener Stevia has been called into question recently. Glycine is also a very sweet amino acid. So much so that I used it in the sweetener blend in Thrīv Protein. Glycine is a great sweetener. It also counts as non-nutritive since it contains zero carbohydrates, sugars, fats or protein. And it’s an important amino acid to get more of in your diet. As a sweetener it’s very comparable to table sugar in taste, not s sweet, but similar. It also measures similar to toable sugar. 1 teaspoon in a cup of coffee...

On yesterday's BPPH I mentioned to Rob Regish that I had a preferred way to use the Nautilus pull-over machine. He asked me to video it and we can discuss it on the next BPPH. So here it is.I don't hold on to the hand rails. I focus the pulling on my lats and I allow my hands to separate at the bottom of the movement so I can push my elbows far back to activate the center of my back between my scapulas. Give it a try. You may find you're a little weaker when your arms aren't doing some of the work so lighten up and focus on the form.  BTW I haven't trained my legs in a couple months choosing cardio instead while my multiple injuries heal. I was shocked as I looked at this video as to how much my legs have shrunken. I have started leg...

Dave Asprey and his Bulletproof coffee have officially gone mainstream. So many people are now adding butter and MCT oil or MCT powder to their morning coffee and singing the mind-clarifying benefits. I discovered a new twist on Keto-Coffee today that I had to share. Kegenix has introduced their first Keto-Meal Replacement Powder for people on-the-go who want to grab a Keto-friendly convenient meal. While making my coffee this morning I wondered how it would taste in my coffee instead of my usual butter+MCT oil + stevia. All I have to say is I won't be making my morning coffee without it tomorrow. I ran out of MCT oil this morning and was looking for an alternative. I remembered that I had a jug of Kegenix Meal Replacement Vanilla in my pantry so I grabbed it. After reading the label I decided that it was fine to use prior to training...

To me a superfood is one that supplies you with every needed nutrient required to sustain life and not suffer a nutrient deficiency that shortens one’s life or causes debilitating physical condition. A superfood is one that as its name implies, of all foods, it is the highest in all the macronutrients and micronutrients required to actually thrive. A food source that if it were the ONLY food available to you, you would not suffer for, but instead rejoice in your good fortune for having such a food readily available. If you search the internet for superfoods you’ll find a virtual cornucopia of foods whose authors’ claim as superfoods. Most are fruits, veggies and grains. A few mention quietly dairy which in my humble opinion is in fact a superfood. But most stay clear of dairy because as of late dairy has become a “bad actor” in the “what’s healthy now”...

We can’t fix healthcare without first addressing “why” so many American’s are sick and unhealthy today. If we don’t address that, we will run out of money trying to keep a growing sick population alive no matter how great the new healthcare plan is. The same is true if we just keep the AHA. We can not outrun this problem and throwing more money at it won't solve it either. The hard work is going to be dismantling the industries that are at the root of the epidemic of illness today. The short list is:  - Chemical Manufacturers  - Food Manufacturers   - Big Ag  - Big Pharma  - The Medical Orthodoxy  - The Main Stream Media Each of these industries has a hand in the outright poisoning of our food supply and the prescribed use of drugs whose side effects are worse than the diseases they treat and the misinformation that makes...

SHR episode  # 2070 has broken all previous first month download records with an astonishing 194,040 downloads.    Our CDN tracks MP3 file downloads across our 33 servers that deliver our content to the world. Never before have we seen this number of downloads across the first month of a show's release. Many shows accumulate this and more over the course of a year, but right out of the gate? Nope. The show had two powerful guests. Dr. William Seeds and Coach Charles Staley Dr. William Seeds talked about a unique peptide called Thymosin Alpha 1 and its ability to suppress the onset of viral-related illnesses. I suspect this show was listened to by clinicians with great interest. Staley talked about a unique variation of the back extension exercise using considerably heavier weight than was previously thought prudent. The added weight appears to activate glute muscles to a greater degree thus...

The owner of New England Compounding Center responsible for over 700 cases of fungal meningitis and 64 deaths, Barry J. Cadden, was sentenced to 9 years in prison by Judge Richard Stearns. The case exposed routine problems with the pharmacy’s procedures that put patients at great risk. I don’t disagree with the judge’s decision at all. What I want to know is how did Raymond Gilmartin, then CEO of Merck, not go to jail for the purposeful science cover-up that lead to 88,000+ hear attacks, and 38,000+ verifiable Vioxx related deaths? Merck did however spend $4.85 billion to satisfy some 47,000 plaintiff law suits and 265 potential class action law suits. See folks... you can mass-murder in the USA and not go to jail as long as you have enough money to spread around. I say Raymond Gilmartin needs to go to jail since he was running Merck during this atrocity....

Fertility is a big issue today. Environmental insults cause lots of problems with the entire reproductive system. Men suffer from oxidative damage to testes that alters spermatogenesis as well as testosterone production. In this study linked below, ginger (Zingiber officinale) has been shown to protect our little buddies from a significant oxidative assault. We use lots of ginger in our home. As a spice, tea, in salad dressings, Kombucha and protein shakes (don't laugh it tastes good). . As the study points out ginger is also a mild androgen receptor activator. I’m not totally sure how I feel about this though. What I’ve learned about phytoestrogens that’s probably true of phytoandrogens is that they selectively activate parts of the receptor mosaic while not having any effect on others. If it were a pharma drugs we would call ginger a Selective Androgen Receptor Modulator. Everyone’s all gaga about SARM’s but me, not...

I have tried endlessly to get iTunes to amend our existing Super Human Radio channel with the new RSS Feed URL which is almost exactly the same as the old one with the exception of the .net. iTunes being an Apple company is most difficult to work with. They insist that the new URL is a completely new podcast even though I've given them all the needed evidence they need to see that SHR is the same SHR in the old channel for the past 11 years that it is in the new channel. This is just plain dumb. Seriously. If all business was run like iTunes, moving a bricks-and-mortar business from an old physical address to a new physical address would require you to abandon all progress up to that point and start from scratch like a new startup business. If you use the Podcast app on your iPhone or...

This recipe was provided by SHR listener Angela Penna Here's what I do for komucha. You'll have to obtain a scoby or grow your own. One way to grow your own is to use that kombucha Alisa bought and let sit in a jar with a flour sack towel (fst) over top for a week or so in room temp. Should form a rubbery little organism called a scoby. Don't refrigerate the scoby or put in hot liquid or it will die. It'll probably take a bit to grow your scoby, or a few batches. If you do it that way you can use a smaller amount of sweetened tea to get things rolling and follow method below. It's important to take about a cup of liquid from the batch you fermented and keep it with the scoby and add to next batch. Ok so here we go. It's a lot...
