Dr. Bruce Lipton: The Biology Of Belief And How To Overcome Flawed Subconscious Programming

Listeners, please welcome Louise Digby to the show, from all the way over from the UK! It is so nice to connect with an international guest like Louise and to hear, unfortunately, that the same problems that exist in America also exist in Europe, especially when it comes to the issues aging women have with losing body fat. In this episode, you will hear us discuss a variety of topics, especially the roadblocks and main reasons for having trouble maintaining your desired body composition. We discuss the foods that cause system wide inflammation and how chronic inflammation influences fat metabolism and causes your body to store extra body fat, especially visceral fat, as well as the difference between visceral fat and subcutaneous fat. You’ll also learn about the importance of nurturing a healthy estrogen balance (as well as healthy testosterone balance), why it’s so helpful to manage stress when you’re trying to lose excess body fat, how chronic stress affects your metabolism, how vitamin D health affects fat metabolism, and actionable tidbits from Louise that will help you lose weight easily.  Louise Digby is a BANT registered nutritional therapist, weight loss expert, and the creator of the Nourish Method, an online programme that addresses the lifestyle factors that impact women’s fat-burning and the mindset challenges causing self-sabotage. She also hosts the Thriving Metabolism Podcast, which she created to guide and educate women about the nuances around metabolic health, hormones, gut health, and more in the context of weight loss.   TIMESTAMPS: What are the roadblocks for losing excess body fat? [00:47] If you are stressed, your metabolism isn’t going to work for you. People are doing what they are told to do and not seeing any results. [01:50] Chronic inflammation is a huge contributor to one’s inability for burn fat. How does one get into that mess? [06:29] There are some tests that can reveal chronic inflammation. [10:03] Having optimum levels of Vitamin D is important. [13:09] Inflammation is a good thing when it helps us repair and recover.  Its uncontrolled inflammation that becomes the problem {19:30] Magnesium is difficult to obtain in today’s modern diet because of soil depletion but it is very important for your body. [21:46] Cortisol is the preeminent stress hormone. [22:44] Nutrient deficient foods hinder our immune system from functioning well. [26:47] What’s really going on is we are consuming nutrient deficient processed foods that contain edible food-like substances that the body reacts to adversely. [29:56] What are the particular problems females have when they come to Louise’s practice? [33:01] When our estrogen is lower, we are more likely to experience insulin resistance so it will be more difficult to manage our blood sugar and therefore manage our weight. [37:40] Why are women not as interested in strength training as opposed to cardio? [39:03] What is the difference between visceral fat, belly fat, and subcutaneous fat? [43:14] What can people do to track their progress besides looking at their scale? The scale is a poor reflection of your overall progress.

Did you know that there is no data that has ever been presented that has shown that elevated, cushioned shoes prevent running injuries? In this podcast, we’re getting to the truth behind the stunning and embarrassing rate of overuse injuries. A 2021 meta study from Europe revealed an annual injury rate of 37 to 56% of regular runners, Runner’s World reported 46% of runners get injured every year, a study from Yale reports 50%, while Wake Forest Biomechanics Laboratory says 79% of runners get an overuse injury every year. Interestingly, The American College of Sports Medicine states that 25% of all runners are sidelined at a given time—a stat worse than the injury rates for NFL players (31 percent injured annually with four percent at a given time)! In this episode, we get to the bottom of this issue, since there have been many misconceptions and misunderstandings about what is causing these running inquiries, and the nuances are quite interesting. As you will learn, one of the great lies of the fitness industry that has ever been propagated is that elevated, cushioned shoes prevent injuries—a lie that has been going on for 50 years! This is the perfect show to listen to if you want to learn the truth about cushioned shoes and the science that explains why they do not support foot health and athletic performance and actually generate 7 times more impact trauma than landing in bare feet. As you will hear, the entire premise of elevated, cushioned running shoes is deeply flawed—what they really do is enable people to run long distances and get injured.    LINKS: Brad Kearns.com Brad’s Shopping page B.rad Whey Protein Isolate Superfuel - The Best Protein on The Planet!

I want to talk about the concept of aerobic deficiency—something that is very common, even amongst very fit, high-performing athletes. Aerobic deficiency (a term coined by Dr. Phil Maffetone), or anaerobic excess, means that while you’ve developed tremendous performance skills, the capacity of the aerobic system is lacking due to insufficient aerobic conditioning/workouts. So while you are good for short bursts of power, your overall athletic potential is limited by insufficient development of the aerobic system. As you will hear in this show, it’s important to remember that even the most explosive, powerful athletes require sufficient aerobic conditioning in order to thrive in the long duration workouts that they perform in order to hone their abilities so they can compete in activities like powerlifting and sprinting. If you are the type of person who will go out to sprint practice for an hour or even up to two hours, this is an episode you don’t want to miss. As you’ll learn, even if you are also stretching and resting throughout that practice session, the aerobic system is still working for the entire duration of the workout—the same concept applies to going to the gym to perform heavy weight lifting sessions. If you want to learn how to sufficiently develop your aerobic system, this episode will walk you through every step and teach you how to do it.   TIMESTAMPS: Aerobic deficiency is very common even among very fit, powerful high-performing athletes. [00:38] The aerobic system contributes very much to even very short duration efforts. [04:01] A 50 50 ratio of aerobic to anaerobic contribution to your energy needs is a minute and 15 seconds all-out performance. [06:23] When we truly conduct a fat-burning workout that emphasizes aerobic development and minimizes anaerobic stimulation, it is frustratingly slow in many cases.  [10:25] At Fat Max you are burning maximum fat minimum glucose and as you speed up, fat burning goes down and sugar burning spikes. [13:43] Fat Max is 180 minus your age in beats per minute.  You want to have the same exact course, doing the same exact test every time. [17:01] Eluid Kipchoge trains at a very slow comfortable pace. [21:18]   LINKS: Brad Kearns.com Brad’s Shopping page B.rad Whey Protein Isolate Superfuel - The Best Protein on The Planet!

In this breather show, you will learn how slowing down can actually help you go faster, which is a crucial subject to gain a deep understanding and appreciation of, lest you have the inclination as a hard-driving athlete to speed up a little bit in the pursuit of getting fitter.  It is an unassailable fact of exercise physiology that a robust aerobic system is a prerequisite for a robust anaerobic system. As you will hear in this episode, your aerobic energy producing enzymes and muscle fibers are intertwined with your fast twitch muscle fibers and glycolytic enzymes, and they supply them with the nutrients, blood, and oxygen they need to contract forcefully (without using oxygen) for short duration. Then, they need to be refueled and replenished, and this is where the aerobic system comes in—by then facilitating the removal of waste products and energy replenishment afterward. If you want to learn why slowing down will help you go faster, what happens to an aerobic system that is not well conditioned to handle high intensity exercise, and how to avoid self-inflicted cellular damage and fatigue, this is the episode for you.    LINKS: Brad Kearns.com Brad’s Shopping page B.rad Whey Protein Isolate Superfuel - The Best Protein on The Planet!

I am pleased to introduce a rebroadcast of my Deconstructing Dr. Tommy Wood Insights, part 2 show! This episode covers a variety of topics, such as gut health and how it relates to autoimmune and other inflammatory conditions, polarized training, the benefits of consuming more food (and how you know when to dial it back), how long the (negative) effects of vegetable oil stay in your system, carbohydrates, and more.   TIMESTAMPS:  There’s a tremendous link between gut health and cognitive conditions like depression. [02:07]  What is the problem with canola oil once in a while? [05:57]  A lot of people find that just eliminating gluten from the diet, causes a quick improvement in digestive symptoms. [08:08]  If you cut process carbs from your diet, you can meet your glucose needs in other ways. [09:17]  Water retention plays a big part as a result of carbohydrate ingestion. [11:46]  Going over the recommended maximum heart rate is not good. Learn about polarized training. [14:56]  You can mess up your gut health by NOT doing polarized training. [20:02]  An interesting point is that as an athlete doing a hard workout, you’re pushing yourself pretty hard, you’re depleting cellular energy.  [20:39]  Autophagy is a good thing: starving your cells of energy in contrast to overfeeding them. [22:03]  Be careful about overdoing it. [24:21]  Brad’s intuitive approach to Keto eating is working well for him. [25:38]  If you have a “cheat day” you’ll have that concept in your brain and that means there’s something wrong with your baseline diet.  [27:25]  Why is it so difficult to keep our commitments aligned with our highest ideals?

Welcome to a new episode in the ongoing series of symptoms and signs of overreaching, overtraining, and burnout! This content has been inspired by the amazing, comprehensive look at overtraining that I’ve spent a long time working on and is unlike anything you will find anywhere. I intended this to be the go-to guide for everyone—whether you’re working with people as a coach, or if you just want to know your body and how the stress response can fool you into continuing to slam workouts and burn the candles at both ends. In this breather show, I talk about testing HRV (resting heart rate) and factors that can affect your measurements, checking blood pressure frequently, why it’s healthier to have greater variation in beat-to-beat intervals, why a metronomically beating heart is actually indicative of overstress patterns, and other cardiac symptoms you’ll want to know so you can avoid overtraining and burnout.    LINKS: Brad Kearns.com Brad’s Shopping page B.rad Whey Protein Isolate Superfuel - The Best Protein on The Planet!

My thoughts on the $2 million dollar anti-aging man? You’ll hear them all in this episode—I’m talking about Bryan Johnson and his highly debated lifestyle. You may have already heard of Bryan, a tech centi-millionaire based in Los Angeles, since he has become a pretty controversial figure and has faced a lot of ridicule for ridiculously regimented and heavily tested life (think biohacking, but on an extreme level).  Based in Los Angeles, Bryan has dedicated his life to reversing the aging process and promoting his movement which he calls, “Don’t Die.” I will admit I used to view Bryan’s whole lifestyle as super weird, especially the $2 million dollars a year part, which seemed not just totally unrelatable, but also potentially uninteresting and inapplicable. However, I decided to learn more about Bryan and listened to interviews he gave with people like Gabby Reece, and I started to see something different—someone who was generous, interesting, and kind-hearted, who was genuinely just trying to do something grand to help humanity. As you will hear, I am not planning on implementing many of his methods, but I wanted to educate myself about him so I could share my thoughts about his lifestyle from an informed perspective.  In this episode, I talk about the many elements of Bryan’s lifestyle and beliefs and share my personal opinions on his choices, such as my thoughts on Bryan’s assertion that AI is going to be the best way to care for our health (and make our lifestyle decisions) in the future, why sleep is his #1 priority, if I will consider emulating his early bed-time, his choice to adhere to a calorie deficient diet, and more.   TIMESTAMPS: Bryan asserts that artificial intelligence is very quickly going to be the best way to care for our health. [04:48] Have we really lost our own free will and do we outsource our decision making? [07:42] We are all addicts to things like processed foods and processed sugar and illegal and legal substances. [11:36] Good sleep is still the number one habit of importance for health. [14:35] Are you open to outsourcing your athletic training and diet decisions to AI? [19:37] Brad discusses Bryan Johnson’s “perfected” diet. [25:43] The caloric restriction studies, as a key to longevity, are entirely based on animals rather than humans. [29:52] The problem of modern society is we, in general, eat too much, store too many calories and burn too few calories. [34:25] Brad describes his dietary practices and training regimen. He disagrees with Johnson. [37:24] Johnson contends that running cold also extends longevity.  Brad disagrees. [42:20] The plant-based diet is okay for the right reasons, however, much of the beliefs about it are faulty. [47:07] Brad questions Johnson’s ideas about regimented exercise. It’s all about enjoying your fitness pursuits.

Welcome to another episode in the continuing series about signs and symptoms of overtraining, overreaching, and impending burnout. As you’ll hear in this episode, libido is the single best regulator of training, and I would argue that libido is a proxy for your overall state of heat and vitality, especially as you age, since cortisol doesn’t just antagonize testosterone—it antagonizes estrogen as well.    LINKS: Brad Kearns.com Brad’s Shopping page B.rad Whey Protein Isolate Superfuel - The Best Protein on The Planet!

We’re going to get really science-y in today’s episode, but thanks to my former podcast guest Dude Spellings and his brilliant interpretations of the research published by Dr. Jack Kruse on cold thermogenesis, we will be reviewing these mind-blowing insights in an easy to understand way. If you want to learn essential information about cold therapy, the science behind its benefits, and how it can actually reverse the aging process through therapeutic cold exposure by enhancing mitochondrial function (crucial to longevity, since mitochondrial dysfunction is the root cause of all disease), this is the episode for you.    TIMESTAMPS: You can reverse the aging process through therapeutic cold exposure by enhancing mitochondrial function. [00:40] When water is cooled, its volume expands.  When water heats up, its volume shrinks. [05:58] The faster you walk, the greater is your longevity potential. [08:16] Every year 98% of all the atoms in the human body have been exchanged. (Deepak Chopra) [14:07] The cold water forces your mitochondria to make heat and that heat shrinks the fluid inside your cell. [21:46]   LINKS: Brad Kearns.com Take The (Cold) Plunge!

In this show, we continue our discussion about symptoms of overtraining. The symptoms discussed in today’s show however, are particularly important because they are not symptoms that most people typically associate with overtraining. I’m talking about twitchy muscles, issues with your skin (acne, rashes, rosacea, eczema, psoriasis, and even excessively dry skin), and the sudden appearance of a sore, scratchy throat. As you will learn in this episode, even having the slightest scratchy, sore, or dry throat is a telltale, early warning sign of something more serious—and ignoring it and continuing to train will only cause more problems. Tune into this breather show if you want to learn more about important warning signs of overtraining and the most appropriate ways to respond to these symptoms when you experience them.   LINKS: Brad Kearns.com Brad’s Shopping page B.rad Whey Protein Isolate Superfuel - The Best Protein on The Planet!
