Guest: Dr. Antoine Roux

I did this show in 2009 and re-air it regularly to keep it in front of the Super Human Nation. Cellular aging is at the core of how the body breaks down. Slowing it is the goal. Things that speed it up are thus counter to the goal. Foods that elevate blood sugar have an effect on cellular senescence. In this interview Dr. Roux discusses what these effects are and how they may contribute to speeding the aging process.

Guest: Shawn Phillips aka Brad Jeffries - Brad Schoenfeld

Phillips wrote under the pseudonym Brad Jeffries for Muscle Media 2000 throughout the 90's. He also developed what many say is the single best piece of software that created training programs for tens of thousands of loyal readers. The pre-Internet software - Powerbuilding - is still actively running on one of his office computers. This interview may have inspired him to dust it off and de-ploy it via the Internet PLUS Schoenfeld discusses his most recent research paper authored with Brett Contreras looking at the role of Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness as an indication of a productive workout. The discussion is quite important as so many people want to know the answer to this age-old question.

The words of many people in the Super Human Nation prompted this discussion. Many have shared with me, after revealing my recent injury, that they too are facing obstacles in their lives of various types and proportions. Kubik and I distillate the approach needed to overcome obstacles no matter what they are. The discussion then morphs into an evaluation of the notion of genetic potential which fits nicely into the framework of the overall theme of this show.

Guest: David Waller - Dr. Hamilton Stapell

Waller is author of the biography of  Eugene Sandow's life. Most don't even know who Sandow was. Sandow made the definitive contribution to Physical Culture that would decades later become the health and fitness movement that still permeates our society today. PLUS Dr. Stapell discusses the notion that the Ancestral Health movement and thus the Paleo movement may have run its course. Like so many things, people's attention spans are short lived. What will become of the Ancestral Health movement? Who is the core audience? Why is it not catching on like wildfire? This and many other questions are addressed.

If you burn the candle at both ends all week long because you think sleeping in on the weekends will solve your sleep-deficit problems... think again. Dr. Vgontzas' group look at the effects on inflammatory markers and cortisol levels and point out why this approach does not work. PLUS Strong and fit people seem to fare better when it comes to a variety of disease states so why should cholesterol be any different. Dr. Roberts' group looked at the effects of cholesterol on overweight individuals who are strong from weight training compared to trained lean people and untrained lean people. The findings are the opposite of what the scientific community would predict.

The discussion is driven by the realities of change. Coach Johnson discusses the loss of strength he experienced as striving for a healthy body-weight became his primary goal. This prompted Carl to open up about his hamstring injury and his decision about surgery. The conversation became a bit emotional for Carl at the realization that his injury heralds the end of an era. PLUS Ciciarelli has provided the ancestral community with an amazing gift. A book that teaches us how to produce a wide variety of fermented foods, drinks and condiments.

First we discuss briefly the phenomenon of male pattern baldness as this was supposed to be the thrust of the show. Then the discussion turns to the complexity of saying definitively that GABA is a good sleep aid as there are a myriad of external and internal mechanisms that may or may not make GABA a good choice as a pre-sleep hypnotic aid for you. The discussion then turns to some suitable alternatives to GABA that may have less of a negative effect on sleep architecture. Followed by some alternatives to the alternatives which in the end analysis may be the best choices as they do not act as direct hypnotic aids but instead set the body up for what it does best. And lastly we come full circle to discuss the effects of exercise upon sleep and sleep quality.

What if we could find the first domino in the cascade that leads to obesity? Dr. Guyenet and colleagues may have some interesting evidence that  makes the Hypothalamus a key candidate. We identify the cause-and-effect of inflammation of the Hypothalamus as well as ways to effectively change the outcome of obesity. PLUS So many people suffer from bloating that most just think its part of the human condition. Wrong. Overgrowth of the small intestine by bacteria is not normal and leads not only to the discomfort associated with IBS and GERD but much more damaging diseases including various Autoimmune Disorders and endotoxemia. Dr. Siebecker explains how to test for small intestine bacterial overgrowth as well as what methods of treatment work.
