Travel shouldn't have to stall your progress. Jake & Hayley break down exactly how they stays on track away

from home: why they books Airbnbs for the kitchen, how to use meal prep and a hotel fridge, how to pack a cooler for

1–3 day road trips, and the three supplements that always come with them (magnesium, protein and creatine). Then

it's all about sleep: why a red bulb beats a regular lamp at night, how to black out any room, and why a cooler room

and a cracked window can mean deeper sleep.

Jake sits down with Kayte, now a chiropractor and the author of Beyond Beauty, to unpack why chasing an outside change never fixes what's underneath.

They get into what the research on breast implants can and can't tell us, from the FDA's boxed warning to the explant studies.

They also cover how survival patterns show up in your physiology and what actually helped her rebuild, plus what didn't.

Why do so many people add more cardio and still stop losing fat? We break down Duke researcher Herman Pontzer’s constrained energy model — the Hadza hunter-gatherer findings, the energy “budget” your body defends, and where the burned calories quietly get clawed back.
Then we get practical: why strength training keeps paying off through progressive overload while cardio plateaus, why muscle isn’t the calorie furnace it’s sold as, and why nutrition is the real fat-loss lever. Exercise is essential — just not for the reason you think.

Sharon Lemoine has spent 30 years in healthcare, 25 of them in emergency medicine. She's also a Type 1 diabetic and a thyroid cancer survivor, and she went through surgical menopause. She's made high-stakes medical decisions from both sides of the exam table.

Now she runs a practice prescribing hormones, GLP-1s, and peptides. So Jake asked her the hard questions on all three.

They cover what really changed when the FDA pulled the black box warnings from hormone therapy, and whether the pendulum has swung too far. They get into why Herman Pontzer's research suggests your metabolism probably didn't crash at menopause, and what's actually changing instead. They talk about how to keep your muscle on a GLP-1, and whether anyone is really coming off them. And they look at where peptides like BPC-157 stand after this summer's FDA panel vote, and why "available" doesn't mean "proven."

In this episode:

• What the 2002 hormone study got wrong (and what it got right)
• Bioidentical vs. compounded hormones, and testosterone for women
• The energy budget: why exercise alone struggles for weight loss
• GLP-1s, muscle loss, and the off-ramp
• The peptide regulatory mess, explained

Most people don't have a knowledge problem. They have a follow-through problem.

You know you should sleep more, train consistently, and stay calm under pressure. So why does it fall apart the moment life gets hard? In this episode, Jake sits down with Tony Crescenzo, a U.S. Marine Corps veteran, CEO of Intelligent Waves, and founder of the cognitive-performance platform Peak Neuro, to talk about what separates people who perform under pressure from people who crack.

Tony has spent more than 30 years leading teams in high-stakes environments, and he's been open about his own battle with PTSD. He and Jake dig into why willpower always runs out, what actually builds lasting self-efficacy, how the military trains people to think clearly when everything is going wrong, and why two people can respond completely differently to the exact same intervention.

Then Jake puts neurotech on trial. Brain training, neuroacoustics, and "brain hacking" are exploding into mainstream wellness, but how much of it holds up? Tony isn't a neuroscientist or clinician, and he takes the hard questions head on: what the science can prove, where the hype outruns the evidence, and what you're really handing over when you share your brain data.

Exhausted, foggy, gaining weight around your middle, waking at 3 a.m. and told your labs are completely normal? You're not imagining it.

This week on Radix Radio, Hayley and Jake sit down with Dr. Christina Enzmann, MD, PhD a board-certified OB/GYN and Certified Menopause Practitioner through The Menopause Society who uses deeper testing and continuous data to find what routine bloodwork misses.

We cover why perimenopause feels so unpredictable, how falling estrogen quietly drives insulin resistance, the hormone–blood sugar–cortisol triangle, and why eating less and training harder can backfire in midlife. Dr. Enzmann breaks down what the 2025 FDA label change on hormone therapy really means, bioidentical vs compounded hormones, why progesterone helps sleep, the gut and vaginal microbiome, bone loss — and which functional tests are genuinely worth your money.

In this episode: why "normal" isn't optimal | the lab most women never get | insulin resistance explained simply | strength training, protein and stress | HRT after the WHI | cortisol and saliva testing | CGM for women without diabetes

Hayley and Jake go through what the human research actually shows: how fasting stacks up against exercise pathway by pathway (spoiler — exercise wins most of them), what the negative trials found, the real differences between 16:8, 24-hour, and multi-day fasts, and why salt matters more than willpower. Plus the part nobody handles well: men, women, and why the popular hormone conversation is wrong in both directions.

Fasting doesn't burn fat. A deficit does. Fasting is just one way to get there — and for a lot of people, it's the wrong one.

Education, not medical advice. Talk to your doctor first if you're pregnant, managing diabetes, on medication that requires food, or have any history of disordered eating.

The electrolyte aisle has exploded and somewhere between real physiology and very good marketing, it got hard to tell what you actually need. In this episode, Hayley and Jake break down what sodium, potassium, magnesium, chloride, and calcium really do in the body, how much of each you need, and why the population data says most of us need more potassium and less sodium — the exact opposite of what most stick packs deliver. They go label by label through the brands they trust, comparing Redmond Re-Lyte, LMNT, and Legion Hydrate side by side (spoiler: they're nowhere near the same formula), and teach you the 20-second check that lets you read any electrolyte panel yourself. Then the honest part: who genuinely needs supplemental electrolytes — sauna users, heat-trainers, salty sweaters, low-carb eaters, GLP-1 users, and anyone who's sick — and who's just spending $500 a year on expensive salt.

Finally, the DIY: how to build a legitimate electrolyte drink from salt and cream of tartar for pennies, exact measurements included, plus a straight answer on the viral “adrenal cocktail” and whether the science behind it holds up.

This episode is for general education and is not medical advice. If you have kidney disease, heart conditions, or take blood pressure medication, talk to your doctor before changing your sodium or potassium intake.

In this episode, Hayley puts Jake in the hot seat with the ten questions that come up most often in our community.

Jake gives straight answers and walks through exactly how we support our clients with each one.
