Jared's story is pretty crazy. Although most of us know him as the really strong dude with the beard who went to the CrossFit Games... He was also a strongman competitor at a body weight of 305lbs and at a height of just 5'6". He talks about a particular time in his life where he even lost almost 100lbs in a 3 month window to start his CrossFit journey. An insane feat of his that I feel is rarely ever touched on. Beyond his oscillating competitive endeavors, I talk to Jared about his opinions on CrossFit, what's important to him at this very moment, and if he has aspirations of competing at the games again anytime soon. Did I mention that he also goes over some of his favorite training cues to get better at Olympic lifting as well!? May want to tune in just for that! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Show notes: http://www.shruggedcollective.com/rc-enderton ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ► Subscribe to Shrugged Collective's Channel Here http://bit.ly/BarbellShruggedSubscribe 📲 🎧 Listen to the audio version on the Apple Podcast App or Stitcher for Android Here- http://bit.ly/BarbellShruggedApple http://bit.ly/BarbellShruggedStitcher Shrugged Collective is a network of fitness, health and performance shows that help people achieve their physical and mental health goals.

Dr. Anthony Jay is well known for his book Estrogeneration: How Estrogenics Are Making You Fat, Sick, and Infertile, all about a class a class of chemicals that appear almost everywhere in our daily lives (from skincare to food to water and beyond) and how these unconscious daily exposures can cause weight-gain, depression, infertility and many other exploding health problems, as well as how we can address this systemic problem. Today, though, Ashleigh and Dr. Jay will mostly be talking about his work with DNA consulting, and how he can interpret the results of simple saliva DNA tests to tell you much more about your physiology than any of those generic website-based programs will. They talk about the confluence of genetics and epigenetics (how lifestyle factors can alter genetic expression), why they're both important, and how you can empower yourself with information to customize the ideal diet, lifestyle, and workouts for your own optimal health and longevity. We also talk about some of his super cool work involving designing viruses for the government, cutting open brains, and a hobby called "mutton busting." You don't want to miss this one! Anthony G Jay, PhD, is the President and CEO of AJ Consulting Company. Dr. Jay earned a B.A. with a double major in Biology and Theology from Ave Maria University in Naples, Florida, where he researched HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) inhibitors. After college, he continued to work with virus in the context of Alzheimer's disease for the U.S. Department of Veteran's Affairs.Next, Dr. Jay earned his Ph.D. in Biochemistry from Boston University School of Medicine, researching fats, hormones, and cholesterol. Dr. Jay currently is at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota researching stem cells, epigenetics, and infrared light. Dr. Jay is a also the author of bestselling book Estrogeneration. Minute Breakdown: 5 - 14 Intro to what Dr. Jay is researching these days, and a brief discussion of his daughter's recent hobby, "mutton busting" 14 – 24 Talking about his DNA consulting business and some of the major "issues" he sees; the difficulty with standard testing because ranges are too broad and not necessarily reflective of optimal health, just what happens to be "average" in our society 24 – 27 Dr. Jay talks about his past projects in labs creating and testing viruses for the government and his work with Alzheimer's research 27 – 40 The benefits of companies that sequence your DNA for you; what Dr. Jay thinks about fears of misuse of genetic information; how Dr. Jay interpret these results to get actual personal and useful information above and beyond the simple analyses the website generally provide 40 –47 A discussion of ways to address genetic issues and alter genetic expression; apparently we have more control over our genes than we think! How being aware of your "faulty" genes can actually empower you to make smarter decisions that lead to improved health 47 –53 What tends to be different about athlete DNA (it may surprise you!). Why it's important to respect both your genetic profile and epigenetics—and the earlier you take control, the better. 53 – 60 The major differences he sees in men and women's data, and addressing hormonal imbalances. 1:00 – 1:04 telomere testing – is it accurate and worthwhile? What can these tests tell you? 58 – General guidelines for supplementation, things we're generally missing 1:04 – 1:13 why there's no such thing as a perfect diet; Dr. Jay's experience conducting a crowd-sourced carnivore diet while testing telomere length 1:13 - We talk about his groundbreaking book Estrogeneration, including key lifestyle factors that can mess with your hormones and how to avoid the dreaded gynecomastia Learn more and book a DNA consultation at ajconsultingcompany.com and say hi to Dr. Jay on Instagram @anthonygjay Reach out to me on Instagram @themusclemaven to say hi and tell me what you thought of the podcast, head to ashleighvanhouten.com to sign up for my weekly health and fitness newsletter, and if you enjoyed the episode please share on social media and leave me a nice rating and review on iTunes!

Jordan just happens to be the trainer for one of the biggest social media beasts on the planet, Gary Vhee. Not only that, but he also happens to have one of the most informative and hilarious instagrams I have ever seen in my life. He's obviously learned a thing or two from being around someone like Gary and I am here to integrate him about all that he's learned while simultaneously trying to catch up with him and see what he's been up to personally these days. We both have very similar vibes, so getting the two of us together on an episode was just a great experience and I'm excited for all to listen.

Dr. Bo Babenko has been in the CrossFit world for over a decade as a gym member, a coach, a manager of a gym in Dubai, and most relevantly to this show, as a physical therapist. Bo has a unique ability to merge his analytical approach with a human impact for his clients and he is a massive asset to the Active Life 1 on 1 staff. Sheila Rixon is a current Active Life 1 on 1 client who exemplifies exactly the type of clients who we are privileged to help. She had spent over $1000 in physical therapy, and years in a CrossFit gym to improve her aches and pains to no avail. She went all in with Active Life and got the life she longed for back. What would you do if the gym, and your activities of daily living stopped being fun, and started being too painful to perform. You stop seeing your friends as often, you stop getting that emotional release, you lose part of who you are. This is essentially where Sheila found herself. The frustration was at its pique, and she decided to go all in. Find out what happened and how it happened in this episode.

Turns out you can have it all – if you're intentional and mindful about what that means to you! Speaker, consultant, coach, and all-around superwoman Kristin Rowell chats with Ashleigh about her trajectory from lawyer to marathon runner to professional bodybuilder – and succeeding at all of them simultaneously –and how her unique mix of Type A personality and meditative mindset enabled her to find joy and health within a very busy lifestyle. They talk about the myth that you can't train for endurance and strength at the same time; the myth that you can't compete in bodybuilding and have a healthy mindset; and of course, the myth that only dudes like meathead things! This is a great discussion about the power, happiness, and self-discovery that can come from being truly intentional with your plans: creating and achieving goals that you set for your own intrinsic reasons, not for external validation. Kristin helps lawyers, doctors, dentists, CEOs and other professionals maximize their time and energy. During her many years as a trial lawyer, Kristin ran 24 marathons and became a natural professional bodybuilder in the Figure division. She ran her fastest (and fasted!) marathon (and earned her pro card in bodybuilding after breaking her right leg in 10 places and recovering from that injury in record time. Kristin founded Energetically Efficient to help professionals take control of their health and fitness so that they can achieve even greater levels of professional success and satisfaction. Kristin speaks around the country on the topics of motivation, mindset, nutrition, fitness and lifestyle. Minute Breakdown: 5 - 13 Intro to Kristin, talking about the differences in bodybuilding prep for women and men, her background as a lawyer, marathon runner, and then bodybuilder – somehow finding success in all three simultaneously, even after falling and breaking her leg in ten places! 13 – 22 Her thoughts on the myth that you can't train for and be good at strength building and endurance disciplines at the same time; how to be intentional and efficient with training (working smarter rather than harder) 22 –30 How she dealt with and improved from her injury even when she couldn't workout the way she used to, and how to use obstacles as opportunities for growth 30 – 39 Why she decided to pursue bodybuilding (at age 40). Kristin and Ashleigh's thoughts on how you can do bodybuilding in a way that shows self-love and discipline rather than an unhealthy obsession 39 – 45 The Importance of maintaining perspective and always having multiple interests, even when you're training or working towards a specific goal; how to deal with the "post competition depression" 44 – 58 How Kristin relaxes, and how "rest and recovery" can look different for different people. Talking about her journey to consistent meditation, including hiring a meditation coach, and how it's improved her life. The importance of mindfulness and meditation—especially for Type A people who don't want to do it or don't think they have the time. 58 – 1:04 A discussion about drugs and steroids in female bodybuilding and our personal experiences in the sport. 1:04 – 1:09 Kristin outlines her carb cycling routine for losing fat and gaining muscle 1:09 – 1:14 We talk about the usefulness of temporary "reset" diets for appetite and craving control, including a nose-to-tail carnivore approach we have both employed 1:14 - Talking about her new business, educating individuals and groups about strength training, nutrition, and how to be the best person you can be.

I was lucky enough to get to chat with Hunter just hours after he found out he was getting cut from the competition floor at the 2019 CrossFit Games on day 1. His "Wild Card" spot caused quite the stir in the community and love him or hate him, you bet there was a ton of people tuning in just to see how he was going to do. In this episode we chat about his experience here at the games, his feelings on getting cut earlier than he anticipated, and future goals. Oh ya, and in true Hunter fashion, we rattled off for another 20min about some of the most inappropriate things you can imagine. There's a lot of humility in this episode, laughter, and learning experiences. Guaranteed to be one of your all time faves! #bulkpony ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Show notes: http://www.shruggedcollective.com/rc-hunter ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ► Subscribe to Shrugged Collective's Channel Here http://bit.ly/BarbellShruggedSubscribe 📲 🎧 Listen to the audio version on the Apple Podcast App or Stitcher for Android Here- http://bit.ly/BarbellShruggedApple http://bit.ly/BarbellShruggedStitcher Shrugged Collective is a network of fitness, health and performance shows that help people achieve their physical and mental health goals.

Yumul continues to set the standard for fine dining by creating fun and memorable experiences. The Michael Mina restaurants' sparkling reputations are unparalleled.

Ashleigh chats with coach and metabolism expert (and kiteboarding daredevil) Dr. Mike T Nelson about his latest research and coaching work, including a deep dive into metabolic flexibility, sleep hygiene, the differences between good and bad stress, myths around nutrition and training for longevity, and why hibernating bears might have the right idea on healthy living (anyone else want to sign up for the "sleep through winter" health plan?) This one is equal parts fun and educational – hope you enjoy it! Dr. Mike T. Nelson has spent more than 18 years of his life learning how the human body works, specifically focusing on how to properly condition it to burn fat and become stronger, more flexible, and healthier. He's has a PhD in Exercise Physiology, a BA in Natural Science, and an MS in Biomechanics. He's an adjunct professor and a member of the American College of Sports Medicine. He's been called in to share his techniques with top government agencies. The techniques he's developed, and the results Mike gets for his clients have been featured in international magazines, in scientific publications, and on websites across the globe. Minute Breakdown: 4 - 15 Intro to Mike and his passion for kiteboarding and foil boarding, and a discussion of fun and dangerous sports in general 15 – 19 Mike's approach to coaching: a focus on time-tested fundamentals and research-backed information, with an open mind to "newer" concepts like red light therapy. Why it's great to explore and play with ideas but while keeping scientifically-backed and solid principles as your foundation (ie, no such thing as shortcuts!) 19 –27 We talk about his new chilly pad for his bed and research on temperature as it relates to sleep quality; connecting this research to his totally normal hobby researching hibernating bears, and how they can sleep, fast, and lose fat without losing muscle 27 – 34 We talk about the "training and eating for performance vs longevity" discussion, and why Mike rejects the notion that these two goals must be mutually exclusive. Why factors like muscle mass, aerobic capacity, and grip strength are better indicators of longevity than chronic calorie restriction (thank goodness) 34 – 55 A deep dive into the concept of metabolic flexibility: what it is and why it's useful; why keto may not necessarily be the best tool to make you metabolically flexible; why reasonable fasting may achieve the same results in a more sustainable way; and why you don't have to get rid of carbs entirely and deal with nasty keto flu transitions to benefit from metabolic flexibility 55 – 59 Talking stress and inflammation, and the differences between good stress (eustress) and bad stress (distress) 59 – 1:03 How Mike quantifies health benchmarks and progress with clients, and why a healthy mix of data and experimentation can encourage anti-fragility 1:03 - I ask Mike about his FlexDiet certification Learn more at miketnelson.com, and say hi to Mike on Twitter @miketnelson or Instagram @drmiketnelson Reach out to me on Instagram @themusclemaven to say hi and tell me what you thought of the podcast, head to ashleighvanhouten.com to sign up for my weekly health and fitness newsletter, and if you enjoyed the episode please share on social media and leave me a nice rating and review on iTunes!

Larry Gaier is a personal trainer who was standout intern at Active Life HQ (when there was an Active Life HQ). He is the best communicator on staff at Active Life and his intensity of capacity for empathy is the reason why he gets assigned the clients he does. In this episode, Dr. Sean and Active Life 1 on 1 staff member, Larry Gaier discuss a client who had some physical pain that was extremely fear based. If you have ever heard "it's in your head" and thought that this suggestion was offensive, you need to listen to this episode. Any time that a coach tells a client or a doctor tells a patient "it's in your head" when you know you can feel it in your body, it's frustrating to hear. In this episode we talk about how they're directly related, and how it should be communicated. Minute Breakdown: 0-10 - There was more fear than pain. 11-20 - When you change your physiology you will change your habits. 21-30 - What is an athlete? 31-40 - Communication is the key. 41-50 - Setting boundaries with your coach or client.

Back by popular demand, Ashleigh brings on Dr. Ralph Esposito, naturopathic physician and hormone whisperer to talk about a subject that's important to the fitness community but largely misunderstood: adrenal fatigue. While many of us have suffered the symptoms and perhaps even been diagnosed, our understanding of the mechanisms behind our adrenal system is often flawed, as is our approach to supporting our adrenal health. Ralph walks us through what's really happening when we "think" we have adrenal fatigue, discusses many lifestyle and supplemental factors that can help us improve and manage chronic stress and fatigue, and we talk about whether or not it's even possible to address these issues with young, healthy, type-A athletes, or whether they need to learn the hard way that rest and recovery is as important as training. Dr. Ralph Esposito is a New York based naturopathic physician, acupuncturist and functional medicine practitioner specializing in integrative urology, men's health and nutrigenomics. He has designed education modules for health professionals specifically on urological conditions, male and female hormone dysfunction, hypogonadism, exercise, men's health and sexual dysfunction. He's an adjunct professor at New York University where he lectures on integrative medicine. Currently, Dr. Esposito serves as a medical consultant and research analyst. Show Overview: Minute Breakdown: 6-19 Catching up with Dr. Esposito including his more recent research on sleep and fasting and some especially compelling herbal supplements for hormone health and support 19 – 30 We talk about his experiments with fasting and why, despite evidence of its benefits, it is not ideal for everyone 30 - 46 Ralph explains why you don't have adrenal fatigue, even if it feels like it. What's being diagnosed is really a chronic stress and fatigue issue as a result of over work, over training, over stress, and poor lifestyle factors. We talk about Addison's disease, and what the two different challenges look and feel like 46 - 56 Ways to address chronic stress and fatigue – and we dive into the psychology of it, why it's so difficult for Type A, ambitious people to address the obvious lifestyle factors that are keeping them from optimal health and performance 56 - A discussion on some adaptogens and herbal supplements that can help with chronic fatigue; why we tend to discount or mistrust herbal remedies; how to make sure you're getting the good stuff Follow Dr. Esposito on Instagram @dr.ralphesposito and learn more at drralphesposito.com.

Barrett has a background in the military in a tiny special forces group called CCT. Originally enlisting with a dental assistant job, he quickly realized that his personality type was closer to the special forces people he had met while he was in. As soon as he could, he signed up for the qualification and process and did whatever he had to do to make it in this elite group. Once the military was over for him, that personality type and drive eventually propelled him into a successful business in the clothing industry with a brand called "NFQ." Not having much experience in business and partnering up with a friend with nothing more than verbal agreements eventually led him into a few problems as the business grew... A lot happens in a small Window of time and Barret shares his experience throughout the entire ordeal. As well as sharing what he wish he would have done differently along the way. This is a great listen for anyone looking to get into business! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Show notes: http://www.shruggedcollective.com/rc-barrett ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ► Subscribe to Shrugged Collective's Channel Here http://bit.ly/BarbellShruggedSubscribe 📲 🎧 Listen to the audio version on the Apple Podcast App or Stitcher for Android Here- http://bit.ly/BarbellShruggedApple http://bit.ly/BarbellShruggedStitcher Shrugged Collective is a network of fitness, health and performance shows that help people achieve their physical and mental health goals.

An inspirational story that is sure to fire you up for the week! In this podcast Matt Paz outlines his journey from rock bottom to qualifying for the triathlon world championships in Kona Hawaii just a few years later.

He just had a different path than most. And at the end of the day, he will tell you that he wouldn't have it any other way. Matt currently owns and operates Garden Grove Fitness in Orange County, California. His gym, brand, and community continue to grow at rapid pace.

MDV is the Chief FitnessOfficer at NCFIT, managing all fitness, coaching, and programming operations worldwide for the company.

In this episode, Richard Diaz and I talk about one of the most controversial subjects in Crossfit. How do I increase work capacity while training less?? With so many different ideologies circling the sport under so many different coaches — it's really hard to land on one solid piece of information. Everyone has theories, however Rich has more data. We talk a lot about battling fatigue. We talk a lot about what's truly right by science. And we talk about a new training style that Rich has been working on since he heard about CrossFit. In my honest opinion, his newest theory is the missing piece we've all been looking for. Welcome to one of the moments in sport when everything changes. I'm so excited to be part of it and I'm more excited to drop this episode in your eardrums. God speed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Show notes: http://www.shruggedcollective.com/rc-diaz ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ► Subscribe to Shrugged Collective's Channel Here http://bit.ly/BarbellShruggedSubscribe 📲 🎧 Listen to the audio version on the Apple Podcast App or Stitcher for Android Here- http://bit.ly/BarbellShruggedApple http://bit.ly/BarbellShruggedStitcher Shrugged Collective is a network of fitness, health and performance shows that help people achieve their physical and mental health goals.

Brooks Meadows is the host of Barbell Buddha Rediscovered where he shines light on Chris Moore who, before his passing, left a treasure trove of knowledge and wisdom about strength, family, philosophy, science, vice, and how to live an exuberant, self realized existence. He also owns Recess 901, a gym located in Memphis where they put the fun back in fitness bound by the same tenets that makes a school recess special: Community, Autonomy, and Simplicity. In this final episode of The Bledsoe Show with Shrugged Collective, Brooks and I talked about his early trials and tribulations when starting out his gym Recess 901, what makes the gym different, and we celebrated Chris' life by taking sharing some memories with him and how Brooks is honoring Chris' legacy through his Barbell Buddha Rediscovered podcast. --------------------------------------------------- Show notes: https://shruggedcollective.com/tbs-meadows --------------------------------------------------- ► Travel thru Europe with us on the Shrugged Voyage, more info here: https://www.theshruggedvoyage.com/ ► What is the Shrugged Collective?

There are some "universal truths" about food, health, and the wisdom of our doctors that we all take for granted – but in this episode of Muscle Maven Radio, Ashleigh speaks with practicing physician Dr. Ken Berry bout his book, Lies My Doctor Told me, in an effort to debunk some faulty research and flawed advice as well as empower individuals to do their own research, ask questions, and work with their doctors to achieve optimal health—rather than simply taking every piece of information we see at face value. We discuss the complicated topic of hormone health and hormone replacement therapy, we deep dive into different diet approaches including paleo, keto, and carnivore, and we ask deeply important questions like, are BBQ and coffee bad for you or what? Dr. Ken Berry is a practicing board certified physician, an Amazon best-selling author, and a passionate advocate of health on his YouTube channel where he has over 600,000 subscribers. Along with his online presence, he is active in his own community of Camden Tennessee where he has been practicing at The Berry Clinic since 2003. Dr. Berry is known for his direct, no nonsense approach to health and wellness. After signing with Victory Belt Publishing House this year, Dr. Berry just released a second edition of his best-selling book Lies My Doctor Told Me. He is also in the process of writing his second book called Common Sense Keto for Type II Diabetes. Minute Breakdown: 5 – 20 Intro into Dr. Berry and his provocative book, Lies My Doctor Told Me, the problematic culture of symptom-based medicine, and overworked doctors who don't have time read research or address their patients in a holistic way. How to broach subjects or concerns or ask questions of your doctor without causing problems. 20 - 42 We talk about hormones: why women are more than just estrogen; key points women should be aware regarding hormonal health; issues with synthetic hormone replacements; and ways to improve hormone profiles naturally. Also: are the negative symptoms of menopause avoidable? 42 – 57 A discussion of paleo, keto, and carnivore diets, how they work, and when they can be useful to treat certain health challenges 57 – Debunking some health myths around meat consumption and preparation (is grilling and blackening your meat bad? Are preserved meats always unhealthy? Can I eat a hot dog without feeling guilty?) We also talk about the flaws in some food research including flawed study design and misinterpretation—purposely or otherwise—of data Learn more at kenberrymd.com – from there you can access a ton of free information via his YouTube channel and social media.

Travis Kennedy is a 13 year Navy SEAL veteran. After becoming a member of my gym, CHALK, just a few months, I've always had so many questions I wanted to ask. I mean, who hasn't wanted to be a Navy SEAL at one point in their life? And when you meet one, I feel like you just want to ask them everything! So that's what this show is about. It's a little bit of everything from an internally super excited child version of myself, but also with a take away message of how to take that Navy SEAL mindset and incorporate it into your everyday life. If we all had just a little more of that mentality each day, so many people wouldn't have to be searching Instagram for motivation daily. They would be their own source of motivation. They would be more confident, more assertive, more structured... And the list really goes on and on... But the show doesn't just stop there, we also hit on some the scariest and some best times of his career as well as what gets him excited in civilian life. I think everyone is really going to benefit from this one! I'm super excited for everyone to listen to it! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Show notes: http://www.shruggedcollective.com/rc-kennedy ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ► Subscribe to Shrugged Collective's Channel Here http://bit.ly/BarbellShruggedSubscribe 📲 🎧 Listen to the audio version on the Apple Podcast App or Stitcher for Android Here- http://bit.ly/BarbellShruggedApple http://bit.ly/BarbellShruggedStitcher Shrugged Collective is a network of fitness, health and performance shows that help people achieve their physical and mental health goals.
