He obtained his Ph.D. in Human Nutrition from the University of Minnesota and did post-doctoral fellowships in Clinical Nutrition and Lipid Metabolism with Dr. Bill Connor at the Oregon Health Sciences University. His interest in omega-3 fatty acids began with his postdoctoral work when he published his first study on the effects of salmon oil on serum lipids in humans (1980). Since that time he has been the recipient of five NIH grants for studies on the effects of omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA) on human health. He has more than 300 publications relating to fatty acids, including omega-3s, in medical literature and was an author on two American Heart Association scientific statements on fatty acids: "Fish Consumption, Fish Oil, Omega-3 Fatty Acids and Cardiovascular Disease" (2002), and "Omega-6 Fatty Acids and Risk for Cardiovascular Disease" (2009) both published in the journal Circulation. Dr. Harris co-invented the Omega-3 Index in 2004 and made it commercially available to the research community and the public in 2009. To date, the Omega-3 Index has been used as the standard measure of omega-3 status in more than 200 clinical studies.

Show notes: [1:06] What's William's background story? [7:41] The five SEAL secrets: NAKED [27:58] Just doing it and taking action [34:08] On CBD [46:59] Where to find William [50:44] Outro Who is William? A former US Navy SEAL with 26 years of service, William Branum is the founder of NW Recovery. At an early age, William knew he wanted to be part of a team that would push him beyond whatever limits he thought he had and still enjoy the outdoors and all it had to offer. He charged forward and became an Eagle Scout and joined the Navy immediately after graduating High School. After graduating from SEAL Training (BUD/S Class 208), he was stationed in Virginia Beach, VA, then San Diego, CA, and finally Oahu, HI, where he served on multiple SEAL Teams, taught SEAL Sniper School, and deployed around the globe. As with too many veterans, William suffered from numerous physical injuries and psychological symptoms that negatively impacted his well-being and quality of life. Migraines, severe anxiety, chronic pains, difficulty focusing, difficulty sleeping/falling asleep, and depression are some of the symptoms he struggles with on a daily basis. He tried many prescription medications to help and eventually started to "self-medicate" with alcohol to help with pain and sleep issues. During his last few years of military service, William started hearing more about the promising benefits of cannabinoids like CBD. Ultimately, he chose to wait until his retirement from the military before exploring this new world of plant-based benefits to help aid in his physical and psychological recovery. Determined to maintain his Top Secret Security clearance after the military, he sought THC-free options of CBD. Since his discovery of CBD, William has reduced anxiety, improved sleep, less joint pain, and an overall improved quality of life. Today William is focused on sharing the recovery benefits he has experienced through premium quality (THC Free) CBD in hopes that other Veterans and First Responders can also experience their own recovery.

HRT involves taking hormones to replace those that your body has stopped making or doesn't make enough of. For women, this is usually estrogen and progesterone. For men, it's testosterone. There are various ways to take these hormones – pills, dermal patches or gels, creams, or suppositories. In this episode, we are joined by an Author and Regenerative and Sports Medicine Doctor, Dr. Rand McClain. He shares his expertise in regenerative medicine and answers burning questions about whether hormone replacement therapy, especially TRT, would be good for you or not. He also talks about the difference between Clomid and Enclomiphene and, finally, just what exactly rapamycin is. Though nutrition and wellness have been ingrained in Dr. Rand McClain since childhood, his journey to becoming a leader in the alternative and progressive medical treatments has been anything but orthodox. From being the earliest promoted to senior account manager in Deloitte's history at the time, to his stint as a professional boxer in Argentina, to being accepted to medical school at age 37 after being repeatedly told it was impossible, Dr. Rand has never been a fan of the "status quo." Dr. Rand's patients (many of which are A-List celebrities and world-class athletes) come to his practice, Regenerative, and Sports Medicine, in search of the innovative treatments he specializes in. From bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT), hyperbaric oxygen therapy, cryotherapy, platelet-rich plasma, and stem cell therapies, Dr. Rand has dedicated the past 35 years to redefining what it means to be in optimal health. Dr. McClain earned his medical degree at Western University and completed his internship at the University of Southern California's Keck School of Medicine Residency Program (U.S.C. California Hospital) and has worked with some of the best and original innovators in Sports, Rejuvenative, Regenerative ("Anti-Aging"), Cosmetic and Family Medicine.

It's easy to get confused when it comes to health and nutrition. Even qualified experts often seem to hold opposing opinions, making it difficult to figure out what you should actually be doing to optimize your health. Sometimes it can feel like maintaining a healthy lifestyle is an overwhelming challenge that doesn't fit within the realities of daily life. It's tough to hold down a full-time job, eat well, train for a marathon, make homemade green juice, spend quality time with your loved ones, and meditate for an hour each day. Only healthy living can incorporate all of these things if you want it to, and it doesn't have to be defined by grandiose displays of health and fitness. In this episode, I share some health tips that I personally follow and give to my clients and other people to optimize health. Show notes: [4:04] Health is about lowering the inflammation in the body [8:36] Visualize the best version of yourself [14:29] Sacrifice short-term gratification for long-term results [16:30] Run the tape through to the end [17:55] Make your health a priority [19:35] Start your day with quiet time [20:55] Exercise [27:43] Eliminating processed sugar, refined carbs, and fried food [32:34] Finishing your shower cold [34:06] Prioritizing your sleep [44:03] Food for thought [44:39] Outro Links and Resources: Peak Performance Life Peak Performance on Facebook Peak Performance on Instagram

The one emotion that holds people back from achieving a goal or progressing is fear. It's a natural human process, but is often a paralyzing one. In this episode, we are joined by Holistic Health Coach, Special Operations Combat Veteran, Founder, and CEO of Built to Evolve, Pearce Cucchissi. Pearce shares his frameworks and strategies for regulating your nervous system through breathwork, stress mitigation, and mental training. Pearce Cucchissi is a former member of US Army Special Operations under the 75th Ranger Regiment. He has trained and led both domestic and foreign special operations teams in combat throughout the middle east. After his military service, he led health and performance optimization programs alongside Neurologists and Sports Psychologists. ​Pearce now runs Evolve, a coaching and advisory service that helps individuals and teams engineer mental freedom to achieve progress & results.

Over half of all Americans take one or more dietary supplements daily or occasionally. Supplements are available without a prescription and usually come in pill, powder, or liquid form. Common supplements include vitamins, minerals, and herbal products, also known as botanicals. When you reach for that bottle of vitamin C or fish oil pills, you might wonder how well they'll work and if they're safe. The first thing to ask yourself is whether you need them in the first place. In this episode, we continue with part two of the top supplements I personally take that are good for muscle-building, cholesterol, blood sugar support, and more.

Americans have been taking dietary supplements from vitamin A to zinc for decades. When supplements first became available in the 1940s, people flocked to local drug stores to stock up on these supposedly magical pills to improve their overall health and well-being, and they never stopped.

Taking time to think offers opportunities for self-reflection and daydreaming, which activates multiple brain parts. It gives us time to turn down the inner noise and increase awareness of what matters most. It's a busy world we're in. We have too much to do yet too little time that, in a rush to accomplish necessary tasks, we find ourselves losing our connection with the present moment – missing out on what we're doing and how we're feeling.

If good gut health means having more good bacteria than harmful bacteria, then it makes sense that poor gut health is often caused by an excess of harmful bacteria. While these causes can quickly change the balance of bacteria in your gut, day-to-day habits also impact your gut health. We're all familiar with the organs and structures that make up the gut. We also are probably familiar with the gut's role in digestion. But not all of us are aware of how our gut impacts our overall health, even when we think we have a "healthy" gut. In this episode, we are joined by a Family Practice physician and the Medical Director of Ruscio Institute for Functional Medicine, Dr. Joe Mather, to talk all about gut health, its issues, and how you can improve yours. He also shares tips on better dieting and the importance of probiotics.

Allowing exaggeratedly negative self-talk to dictate your behavior will prevent you from reaching your potential. Just because you think you're not mentally strong enough to do or handle something doesn't mean it's true. You're likely able to tolerate much more than you think. We are joined today by Speaker, Presenter, Performance Coach, TEDx Speaker, and Endurance Athlete, Luke Tyburski to talk about what he went through and how it made him mentally and physically strong after losing football. He also shares how he uses that same experience to help his clients overcome their own struggles with his coaching.

Luke created and completed a world first 2000km in 12 days Ultimate Triathlon from Morocco to Monaco, with an award-winning documentary made about this inspirational feat. Constantly looking to challenge himself, Luke has run through the Sahara desert, down Mt Everest, and across a tropical forest in China without food, money, water, and with a plane to catch. He has undertaken mountainous double Ironman triathlons, taking him 35 non-stop hours to finish, and completed multiple 150-mile ultra-marathons and 250-mile non-stop bike rides, to name just a few of his accomplishments. Luke Tyburski's entire life has been about performance, overcoming obstacles while dealing with setbacks to achieve his daily best. With over 15 years of experience in the health, fitness, & sports performance industries, Luke has not only been an athlete himself but coached many to achieve their physical performance goals as well. Luke has translated his unique experiences as an extreme-endurance athlete, former professional footballer, and overcoming his dark personal battle with depression, binge eating, and suicidal tendencies into informative, engaging, and highly entertaining presentations. A published author of Chasing Extreme, Luke has shared his inspirational story to audiences around the globe alongside the mental framework he has created to be one of the world's leading endurance athletes. Luke Tyburski wants to inspire others to live outside their comfort zone, so they can catch a glimpse of their true potential.

When you reach for that bottle of vitamin C or fish oil pills, you might wonder how well they'll work and if they're safe.

The brain is always active, even during sleep. However, certain activities can engage the brain in new ways, potentially leading to improvements in memory, cognitive function, or creativity. Although the brain gets plenty of exercise daily, certain activities may help boost brain function and connectivity. This, in turn, may help protect the brain from age-related degeneration. Today, Dr. Tommy Wood joins us to talk about his beginnings and what got him where he is now. He talks about the factors that affect or cause cognitive decline and also shares a few recommendations on what food, exercise, or mental activity can help you avoid it. Tommy Wood is a Senior Fellow in the Pediatrics Department at the University of Washington, and Chief Scientific Officer of Nourish Balance Thrive, an online-based company using advanced biochemical testing to optimize performance in athletes. Tommy was born in the US to Icelandic and British parents. He was predominantly raised in the UK but also spent periods of time at school in Iceland, Germany, and France.

When we talk of inflammatory diseases, we talk about ongoing inflammation where your body doesn't return to its original healthy state.

Despite its recent surge in popularity, fasting is a practice that dates back centuries and plays a central role in many cultures and religions. Many assume that fasting is a healthy activity. In some cases, this may be true, but fasting can also be deadly. Ironically, we don't have to forego healthy food to reap the benefits. Today, Dr. Joseph Antoun, the CEO of L-Nutra, talks about the benefits of fasting and how you can fast without starving yourself. He also talks about his company's products and how they can help you lose weight, become healthier, and live longer without depriving yourself.

Dr. Antoun is the CEO and Chairman of the Board of L-Nutra, a unique Nutri-tech company leading the Food as Medicine movement by applying cutting edge Science to Nutrition research first to uncover what humans should eat to live healthier, longer and second to help patients achieve better health outcomes. Dr. Antoun served as the Chairman of the Board at the Global Healthspan Policy Institute (GHPI) and as a member of the Forbes Business Development Council. Dr. Antoun has dedicated his professional experience to reforming health systems towards preventive care, creating a market for healthy aging by launching the first aging and longevity product called ProLon, and bringing back fasting as a longevity practice to humanity. In 2016, Dr. Antoun launched the Fasting Market, which by 2018 became the #1 nutrition regimen in the US, and continues to grow in popularity. In 2018, the Fasting Mimicking Diet was granted a patent for 'promoting longevity and healthspan.' Dr. Antoun completed his Health Policy studies at Harvard University, Public Health at Johns Hopkins University, Medicine and Biological Sciences at Saint Joseph University, and his Ph.D. studies in Mediterranean & Middle Eastern Studies at King's College. He is married to the loveliest Carine, has three amazing boys, and stays healthy by practicing time-restricted eating, periodic fasting, and walking daily while on his phone.

Habits are the foundation of our everyday lives. We build our daily practices, and eventually, our habits and routines shape us. We either build good habits that support us as we move toward our goals or bad ones that undermine our ability to achieve and succeed.

In this episode, John O'Connor, an Executive Coach, Speaker, and Author, joins me as we talk about living an extraordinary life and having the best physical health by uncovering the internal factors that are holding you back from living your authentic self.

We all know that "disease" is something that happens to us outside our control. The disease is an outsider that invades our bodies, and we are helpless to resist. Excellent health, the opposite of disease, is viewed as a blessing bestowed only on a select few. It is precisely this viewpoint that sometimes keeps us from experiencing the optimal level of health. Today, I am joined by Dr. Al Danenberg as he shares his inspirational health journey of fighting and surviving cancer after being told he only had three months to live. We also talk about the dangers of mercury tooth fillings and X-rays. Dr. Al, as his patients call him, has been a periodontist for over four decades, during which time he developed an unprecedented approach to gum disease based on evolutionary nutrition. He also has advanced training in evolutionary nutrition from the Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health as well as The Center for Mind-Body Medicine, is a certified functional medicine practitioner by way of Functional Medicine University, and is a Primal Health Coach. In April 2020, Dr. Al was appointed the Chair of the Periodontal Committee for the International Academy of Biological Dentistry and Medicine (IABDM) and several months later was appointed as a Member of the Scientific Advisory Board for Immunity at Daivam Wellness Center in India.
