  • EP. 137 - Forged Through Fire | Bryce Smith on Reinventing Life Through Adversity

    Bryce joins Dr. Bek on the Moment of Suspension podcast for a raw conversation around performance, pressure, grief, identity, faith, and what it really means to rebuild yourself through adversity.

    Together, they explore the emotional weight many men silently carry behind achievement and the transition from constantly doing… into finally learning how to be.

    Bryce opens up about losing both parents, building ALLSMITH through uncertainty, redefining success, and using fitness as a vessel for healing, connection, and purpose instead of just performance.

    This episode is honest, reflective, and deeply relatable for anyone navigating pressure, burnout, transition, or personal growth.

  • EP. 135 - Dr. Kirk Parsley | Why Navy SEALs Can’t Sleep

    Bryce sits down with former Navy SEAL turned physician Dr. Kirk Parsley for a powerful conversation on sleep deprivation, nervous system overload, recovery, and the hidden cost of high performance culture.

    After serving as a SEAL operator, Kirk returned to the teams as a physician and discovered a growing problem inside Naval Special Warfare:

    Some of the toughest men on the planet couldn’t sleep.

    This episode explores what chronic stress, hyper vigilance, deployments, cortisol overload, and sleep deprivation actually do to the brain and body. Bryce and Kirk dive deep into SEAL culture, hormone disruption, recovery, modern hustle culture, sleep optimization, and why so many entrepreneurs today are unknowingly living like overstressed operators.

    If you’ve been waking up exhausted, wired at night, dependent on caffeine, struggling to recover, or feeling disconnected from your body, this episode will hit home.

    Topics include:

    • Hell Week and sleep deprivation
    • SEAL culture and nervous system dysregulation
    • Cortisol, testosterone, and hormone health
    • Why sleep medications became common in operators
    • Sedation vs restorative sleep
    • Stress addiction and modern hustle culture
    • Sleep optimization protocols
    • Circadian rhythm, light exposure, and recovery
    • Why recovery is a performance tool, not a weakness

    This conversation is a reminder that performance without recovery eventually becomes survival.

    ⸻

    Key Takeaways

    • Sleep deprivation impacts cognition, hormones, mood, and recovery
    • You cannot outwork poor sleep
    • High performers often struggle to down regulate their nervous systems
    • Deep sleep and REM sleep are essential for recovery and performance
    • Recovery is one of the most overlooked aspects of modern health

    ⸻

    Quotes From The Episode

    “The mission ended, but their nervous systems never got the message.”

    “You can override biology for a while. Eventually biology wins.”

    “Most people are not underperforming because they lack motivation. They’re under recovered.”

    “Sedation is not the same thing as sleep.”

    Episode Description

    Some people build a life that looks good on paper.

    Others build a life that feels like truth in their body.

    This conversation with Wade Critides lives at that intersection.

    A former finance professional who walked away from the predictable path, Wade didn’t just quit his job… he rewrote his identity. He traded certainty for curiosity, structure for sovereignty, and in doing so, built a life rooted in energy, presence, and alignment.

    This episode isn’t about escaping the 9–5.
    It’s about confronting the quiet voice that knows you’re meant for more.

    Through health, habits, and environment, Wade shares how people can shift from chasing outcomes… to becoming the kind of person outcomes chase.

    This is a conversation about:

    reclaiming your energy
    redefining security
    and building a life that pulls opportunities toward you instead of constantly reaching for them

    If you’ve ever felt stuck between who you are and who you could be…
    this one doesn’t just inspire you.

    It challenges you to move.

    ⸻
    Key Takeaways

    • Most people don’t need more information, they need a new identity
    • Health is not a side quest, it’s the foundation everything else is built on
    • The “safe path” is often the most dangerous long term
    • Magnetism is created through habits, energy, and self-belief
    • Your environment is either reinforcing your future or your past
    • Freedom isn’t about money first, it’s about ownership of your time and energy
    • You don’t find alignment, you build it through action
    • The life you want is often on the other side of an uncomfortable decision

    ⸻
    Quotes

    • “You don’t need more motivation, you need to become someone who moves regardless.”
    • “The 9–5 isn’t the problem… staying in a life that isn’t yours is.”
    • “Your energy introduces you before you ever say a word.”
    • “Health isn’t a luxury, it’s leverage.”
    • “Most people are waiting for permission that’s never coming.”
    • “You don’t chase a better life, you become someone it’s attracted to.”

    ⸻

    There’s a version of your life that requires less pretending and more truth.

    Less waiting… more moving.
    Less noise… more alignment.

    This conversation is a reminder that nothing changes until you do.

    The question is simple:

    Are you going to keep watching…
    or are you ready to step into it?

    We’ll see you inside.

  • EP. 134 - Mike Cerbus | Strength is a Practice: Building a Life Through Movement, Connection, and Mastery

    There’s a difference between lifting weight… and being shaped by it.

    In this episode of ALLSMITH, Bryce sits down with Mike Cerbus, a former Team USA high level weightlifter and lead coach with Power Monkey Fitness, for a conversation that moves far beyond sets and reps. This is about the quiet work. The unseen reps. The slow burn of exploration and mastery that most people never stay around long enough to feel.

    Mike’s journey takes us from the early curiosity of discovering himself through football and the barbell… to the intensity of competing on the national stage and representing Team USA… and into the deeper, more meaningful path of coaching, teaching, and service.

    Somewhere along the way, the question shifts.

    From how strong can I get…
    to what is this making me become?

    This conversation explores movement as a language… training as a mirror… and strength as a lifelong practice rooted in patience, connection, and awareness.

    Because in a world chasing faster, louder, and more…
    Mike is a reminder that better is built slowly.

    And if you stay with it… it will change you.

    Quotes

    “Strength isn’t something you find… it’s something you build, slowly, over time.”

    “The barbell will always tell you the truth… the question is, are you willing to listen?”

    “Most people are chasing outcomes… very few are committed to the process.”

    “Coaching isn’t about fixing people… it’s about helping them see what’s already there.”

    “If it’s not sustainable, it’s not success.”

    “You don’t just train the body… you shape the person.”

    “Movement is one of the purest forms of self-expression we have.”

    “The goal isn’t just to lift more… it’s to live better.”

    Strength is not built in the spotlight.

    It’s built in the quiet moments…
    the early mornings…
    the missed lifts…
    the decision to come back again.

    This conversation is a reminder that the work is never just physical.
    It’s personal.

    And if you stay long enough…
    what you’re building isn’t just strength.

    It’s a life.

    Powered by QALO x ALLSMITH

    Before we dive in… this one matters.

    We’ve partnered with QALO to bring you a tool that doesn’t just track your life it helps you improve it. The QRNT Slim Smart Ring gives you real feedback on sleep, recovery, HRV, and daily readiness so you can build awareness around your habits and actually make better decisions.

    ⸻

    Podcast Description

    We live in a world obsessed with measurement

    Steps
    Sleep
    Calories
    HRV

    We track everything
    But still feel stuck

    Why

    Because data doesn’t create change
    Action does

    Today’s conversation with Jake Curreri, CEO of QALO, is a deep dive into the gap between knowing and doing. From engineering at Nike to building companies and stepping into the arena of health tech, Jake has seen both sides of performance data and human behavior.

    We explore wearable culture, the broken systems inside fitness and healthcare, and the rise of tools like peptides and GLPs. We talk about entrepreneurship, profit, and why great ideas fail without real business foundations. And we bring it back to what matters most… how you show up across faith, family, fitness, finances, fashion, and fun.

    This is a conversation about awareness
    Ownership
    And the courage to change

  • Ep. 132 - Mike Schmidt | Organic, Gluten Free, “Clean”… or Just Clever Marketing?

    We’ve been sold a version of health that looks good on labels… but feels off in the body.

    “Organic.”
    “Gluten Free.”
    “Clean.”

    But what if those words are less about truth… and more about trust being borrowed?

    In this episode of ALLSMITH, Bryce sits down with nutrition coach Mike Schmidt to pull back the curtain on modern nutrition, food systems, and the silent stressors shaping our health. This conversation moves beyond surface-level advice and into the deeper layers of awareness… exploring gut health, hormones, environmental toxins, and the unseen ways our world is influencing how we feel, think, and perform.

    From microplastics and water quality to misleading food labels and the rise of optimization culture, this is a grounded yet provocative exploration of what it actually means to be healthy in today’s world.

    This isn’t about fear.
    It’s about clarity.
    Because once you see it… you can’t unsee it.

  • EP. 131 – Shane Dorian | What Are the Longevity Secrets to Keep Doing What You Love After Riding the World’s Biggest Waves?

    There’s a moment… after the wave… when the noise fades and what’s left is truth.
    The truth about your body. Your breath. Your time.

    In this conversation, Shane Dorian takes us beyond the highlight reel of big wave surfing and into the quieter, more demanding pursuit… staying in the game. Not just surviving the ocean, but learning how to sustain a body and mindset that can keep showing up for it.

    We explore what it means to evolve when the stakes shift inward… from chasing adrenaline to protecting longevity. From pushing limits to rebuilding them. From performance to preservation.

    This episode lives at the intersection of discipline, curiosity, and ownership… where stem cells, peptides, recovery, and mindset aren’t shortcuts… they’re tools for staying connected to the things you love.

    Because eventually, the real question isn’t how big the wave is…
    It’s how long you can keep paddling out.


    Key Takeaways
        •    Longevity is not passive… it’s built through intentional daily decisions
        •    Recovery is no longer optional… it’s the foundation of performance
        •    Stem cells and peptides can support healing, but they require discipline to sustain results
        •    Aging athletes must shift from output-focused training to preservation-focused systems
        •    Fear evolves… but it never disappears. You just learn how to move with it
        •    Ownership of your health is the ultimate advantage
        •    The ocean teaches patience, timing, and respect… lessons that extend far beyond sport
        •    True performance is the ability to keep doing what you love… for as long as possible

    Major Quotes
        •    “At some point, the wave stops being the challenge… your body does.”
        •    “Longevity isn’t about doing less… it’s about doing what matters better.”
        •    “Recovery is the work now… everything else supports it.”
        •    “You don’t eliminate fear… you learn how to move with it.”
        •    “The goal isn’t just to survive the wave… it’s to be able to paddle back out tomorrow.”
        •    “Modern medicine can support you… but it won’t replace discipline.”

    00:00 – The shift from chasing waves to chasing longevity
    02:45 – When the body starts talking louder than the ocean
    06:10 – Injuries, wear and tear, and the mental battle of staying in it
    10:30 – Stem cells, peptides, and regenerative healing

    56:10 – The future of performance and aging
    59:30 – Final reflections on doing what you love for life

    This one is a reminder…
    that longevity isn’t found… it’s forged.

    In the small choices.
    In the quiet discipline.
    In the willingness to rebuild when it would be easier to step away.

    Because the real win isn’t the biggest wave you’ve ever ridden…
    It’s your ability to keep going back out.

  • EP. 130 – Dr. Nick Barringer | Are You Avoiding the Discipline Required to Become Who You Say You Want to Be?

    Somewhere along the way, we started negotiating with ourselves.

    We traded structure for comfort.
    Standards for stories.
    And discipline for distraction.

    In this episode, Dr. Nick Barringer steps into the conversation with a message that cuts clean. No fluff. No noise. Just truth. From Ranger School to research labs to real-world application, Nick has lived performance where excuses don’t survive.

    This is not a conversation about doing more.
    It’s about doing what matters… consistently.

    If you’ve been searching for clarity in a world full of conflicting advice this is your reset. A return to the basics. A return to ownership. A return to the work.

  • EP. 129 - Dr. Ron Torrance | PRP, Stem Cells, & The Injury Lie: Why Surgery Isn’t Always the Answer

    What if the injury isn’t the problem… but the way we’ve been taught to treat it is?

    In a system designed to move fast, suppress symptoms, and default to surgery, we rarely pause long enough to ask a better question.
    What is the body actually trying to do?

    In this episode of ALLSMITH, Bryce sits down with Dr. Ronald Torrance II , a non surgical orthopedic physician with Regenexx, to explore the evolving landscape of regenerative medicine, orthobiologics, and human performance.

    From PRP and stem cells to bone marrow concentrate and peptides, this conversation unpacks the tools that are reshaping how we think about recovery, pain, and long term health. Together, they dive into why surgery is often the first option presented, how modern research can be influenced by funding and bias, and how social media is quietly becoming a new front door into healthcare decisions.

    This is not about rejecting medicine.
    This is about refining it.
    Understanding it.
    And reclaiming ownership of your body in a world full of noise.

    Key Takeaways

    • The body is designed to heal, but it needs the right environment and inputs
    • PRP, stem cells, and bone marrow concentrate are tools that support regeneration, not magic fixes
    • Precision matters. Where and how treatments are applied changes outcomes
    • Surgery has a place, but it is often overutilized as a first option
    • Peptides are emerging as a powerful but still evolving space in recovery and performance
    • Not all medical studies are created equal. Funding and design shape outcomes
    • Correlation does not equal causation, yet it drives much of public belief
    • Social media is influencing healthcare decisions more than ever before
    • Healthcare pricing lacks transparency and creates confusion for patients
    • The future of medicine is moving toward personalization, prevention, and regeneration

    We’ve been taught to look at the body like something that breaks.

    But maybe it’s something that adapts.
    Something that responds.
    Something that, when given the right inputs, can rebuild stronger than before.

    The question isn’t just…
    what’s wrong?

    The question is…
    what’s possible?
