Gabriel Shaw sent a question as a result of Joel's last interview. Joel said the three distinct points in which the body ages is early 30’s, early 60’s, late 70’s. Why is that? And what can we do to avoid these unwanted changes? PLUS What I'm Digging.. recent blood work scared the crap out of me.. here's why.
In light of new guidelines suggested by the American College of Physicians released on Monday, older men should not be prescribed testosterone except to remedy sexual dysfunction. Are they completely wrong? A recent study in the Journal of Cardiovascular Translational Research looked at Testosterone levels and the association with the main risks for CVD, namely metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes mellitus, obesity, atherosclerosis, dyslipidaemia and hypertension. Is the new guidelines putting more men at risk?
Tap water Continues to be an issue in America. I don't think anyone feel confident drinking tap water. But what about cooking with it? Or showering and bathing in it? Is there more to worry with these types of exposures? PLUS What I'm Digging.. two studies implicate iron and iron accumulation in the development of senescent cell. Iron is needed for life. Excessive consumption of red meat, which carries the form of heme iron the most absorbable of all iron sources, may require careful monitoring of irona levels. But the iron needs a catalyst to turn a healthy cell into a senescent cell. Learn what that catalyst is today.
WARNING: Some curse words were used that may not be appropriate for children. The first Open Season On Men episode of the year. Why do people fail? This feeds right into the New Year Resolution phenomenon. How to create the short list of goals is one important step. But at the root of your success or failure is an interesting. It's your willingness to suffer.
Everywhere you turn you'll find someone selling CBD. And everyone seems to be taking it for one reason or another. The one thing no one seems to unlock is how to use it to truly improve exercise performance and endurance .... until now. Tune in to discover the specific protocol to improve your own endurance and performance.
There are still men out there on the fence about testosterone therapy. They don't know what to expect. We discuss what to expect and how long to takes to see these changes. PLUS What Im Digging.. I don't want your respect. Here's why.
If you're setting goals that include getting in shape, adding muscle, losing body fat, turning back the aging clock or reversing disease states... these are 3 must-do steps. Regardless of whatever else you do, you won't see the best possible outcomes unless you do these first.
We evolved under the influences of gasses. Just like gravity and the sun, gasses have shaped thew human condition. So why is it a shock that just slightly increasing exposure to hydrogen may hold profound benefits to health, longevity and aging well? This show get deep into the science revolving about the effects of molecular hydrogen on humans.
Two studies were referenced during the interview here they are

Metformin is promised to make already healthy people to live longer, leaner and healthier. The drug has been studied in humans since 1950, but its popularity as an anti-aging drug is very recent. And its not truly supported by the literature. All of its purported anti-aging effects in otherwise healthy people is all basically extrapolated. There are no long term studies that prove otherwise healthy people who took the drug lived longer than the control that didn't. People who believe its value fro anti-aging will fight you if you disagree with them!

It can be said that we live life on one leg at a time. So why don't more people do unilateral leg training? What can unilateral leg training do for you if you incorporate it into your current training? And which exercises lend themselves to the best outcomes? This and much more are discussed by Contreras. PLUS Prof. Elwood is lead author of a study that looked at the effects and outcomes of a large cohort over 30 years and discovered that exercise protects against chronic disease. What was also surprising (maybe not to this audience) was that it protected against cognitive decline as well. PLUS Carl is calling all Super Human's to download the new Smartphone App
A new study shows that today's man is mane in me only. Over the past 20 years testosterone levels have plummeted.
Today's young men have testosterone levels that are close to the upper ranges seen in women. What's going on? And can men actually become extinct?
A new segment I'll be adding to the lineup is Stuff I'm Digging. I'll cover studies that aren't practical to interview a guest author but the information is valuable to the audience. Today I'll discuss a study that shows how resistance training eliminates senescent cells. Here's the link to today's study https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6046228/
Guest: Dr. Annette Langer-Gould - Dr. Natalie Rasgon - Dr. Luigi Nibali
This show originally aired in April of 2014. Multiple Sclerosis is on
the rise in women. Dr. Langer-Gould's group looked at the linkage
between hormonal contraceptives and the prevalence of Multiple
Sclerosis. PLUS Dr. Rasgon's group looked at brain function, metabolism
and cognition in a group of postmenopausal women who are genetically
predisposed to dementia. They compared those who are currently on HRT
and those who were on and stopped. They also corrected for those using
beta-estradiol, beta-estradiol and progesterone combined and compared to
those using Conjugated Equine Estrogen as well as synthetic estrogen and
progestins. The results was astounding and explains why the Women's
Health Initiative study was a complete failure and ultimately hurt a lot
of women. PLUS Many of us are aware of the importance of the microbiome
in our body. But what if you can't influence it through the introduction
of beneficial microbes? What if your genetics predispose you to specific
phyla of microbes and not others. And THIS is the real "genetic
predisposition" to developing diseases like Irritable Bowel Syndrome,
Rheumatoid Arthritis, Cancer and more. Dr. Nibali's group may have
discovered that its your genes that allow your body to adopt some
microbes while not others.
While the focus of the show was on this exciting transcranial study, we traverse research on a variety of papers that show efficacy from depression to fat loss. Chaverri points to a spreadsheet that is on th4e MitoRedLight.com website that lists literally 1000's of papers on red and NIR light therapy that is searchable. PLUS Carl reveals an important therapy for those suffering from SIBO that was previously out-of-reach due to cost for most people. This therapy has been studied and papers published to show its efficacy.
The National Institute of Health estimates over 20 million people suffer from peripheral neuropathy. They also acknowledge that this number may be highly under-represented since there a other forms of neuropathy that don’t cause pain. Add to that only recently it was shown that Fibromyalgia has a neuropathy and small fiber nerve damage component so add to that another 12 million - almost all women. The most insidious type of nerve degradation that rarely gets reported due to lack of pain attacks the organs in the body. Remove the nerve impulses from the heart, liver, pancreas or brain and slowly your body begins to fail. Most neuropathies are treated with drugs like Cymbalta in an attempt to mitigate the pain. They often don’t work and carry horrible unwanted effects. The peptide Cibinetide (ARA 290) looks to be the first thing that addresses the problem by fixing and repairing the nerves as opposed to masking the symptoms.
A recent study looked at the link between estrogen and tendon and ligament metabolism and function. They showed some linkage between estrogen's effects on collagen, stiffness, healing and failure loads.
Finding ways to combat the obesity epidemic is of paramount importance. There is a newly researched small molecule that may do just that in the face of the Standard American Diet. In fact it may do much more than that. It may build muscle faster and improve strength in just 2 weeks of use.
We first talked about IF back in 2007 on SHR. Fast-forward to today and the mainstream is now promoting IF is the Holy Grail of dietary approaches that promises improved weight loss, age reversal, insulin sensitivity, immune function and much more. But is it really? Like every dietary fad people can take it too far. Is there a downside to IF? Is it wise to do indefinitely? What happens when it backfires? What about longer fasts? These and many other questions will be discussed.
A recent paper brought back the discussion about the role of anabolic steroids and changes in behavior. A link to psychosis in some individuals. And in women the potential appears to occur as well. This plus more is discussed.
I did my first interview about KAATSU, or also known as Blood Flow Restriction Training in 2006. Dr. Stray-Gunderson first appeared on SHR in 2015 to further the discussion. The body of work on blood flow restriction training has grown further. The cumulative take-away is it works at building muscle faster. So why aren't you using it?
Back in the day nandrolone-only cycles were common place. Today its generally combined with testosterone. But what if testosterone produces unwanted side effects? Could nandrolone-only protocols produce better gains and health?
I predict this new book will help millions of people help themselves. We cover many topics. Since Metformin is all the rage today, I asked Joel what he thought of it. We also talked about the real problem with food today as well as a little-understood fact about old fat -vs young fat and how this is driving aging. Get his new book at http://VeepNutrition.com/book
This show originally aired in December of 2006. Strength has little to do with muscle size and all to do with central and peripheral nervous system development. The nervous systems ability to recruit more muscle fibers is the true source of strength.
