The ALL ME® Podcast Anti-Doping Norway - Kristoffer Loftheim While most of our work at the Taylor Hooton Foundation take place in the United States, that doesn't mean that the use of Appearance and Performance Enhancing Substances isn't happening world wide. The desire to achieve your physical goals creates pressures that are universal. So in this episode we will be heading to Norway to talk with Kristoffer Loftheim, the Advisor to Fitness Centers at Anti-Doping Norway. Anti-Doping Nowary is a Non-Profit Organization established in 2003 to ensure that doping controls and prosecution activities for doping cases are organized independently from The Norwegian Olympic and Paralympic Committee and Confederation of Sports (NOC) and the Norwegian Government. They also deal with doping issues in a broad perspective through programs addressing the challenges of doping in society and as a growing youth problem. In this episode we talk to Kristoffer to learn more about Anti-Doping Norway, his work with the fitness centers across the country, and the issues they are seeing in Norway to see how it compares to the issues we face here in the United States. Since he works outside of the national competition side of the organization, we focus our talk on societal and recreational use done for both performance and appearance reasons. Most importantly we discuss how they are using education, just as we are, to spread much needed information in the area of Appearance and Performance Enhancing Substances.

The ALL ME® Podcast Impact of Mental and Physical Fatigue on Health? - Ali Boolani, PhD When you think of the word fatigue, you may associate this with just being tired. Fatigue is more than just being tired or sleepy as many people who have fatigue are so drained, that their exhaustion interrupts their daily life. Nearly 44% of employees have reported physical fatigue at work which is up 38% from 2019. It was also reported that 60% of those same employees reported negative impacts of work related-stress, interest, motivation, or energy which resulted in a lack of effort. In this podcast, we speak with Dr. Ali Boolani to discuss what is physical and mental fatigue, the causes, the signs, and symptoms, how diet, exercise, and sleep play a big role, and what we can do to minimize both. Ali Boolani, PhD Ali Boolani is currently an Associate Principal Scientist at the Gatorade Sports Sciences Institute (GSSI) and a Research Professor at Clarkson University. Ali received his BA and MA at Tulane University in International Relations with a focus in International Political Economics. He then went on to receive a M.Ed at the University of New Orleans and PhD at Oklahoma State University in Applied Physiology. After his PhD, he pursued a post-doctoral fellowship at the University of Georgia under the direction of Dr. Patrick O'Connor in mental energy and fatigue. He is currently pursuing a Masters in Theoretical Artificial Intelligence at Johns Hopkins University. Prior to moving to GSSI, Ali was a tenured Associate Professor at Clarkson University, where he led a team of inter-disciplinary researchers who were interested in better understanding inter- and intra-individual differences in objective and subjective feelings of energy and fatigue. Ali has published more than 60 peer-reviewed research articles, secured more than 20 federal, state, and industry grants, presented over 125 peer-reviewed research abstracts, and has been an invited speaker at more than 20 national and international conferences.

Jose is going to share his wealth of knowledge that he has obtained over his career with us in this interview. The focus will be on "usable strength".

The ALL ME® Podcast Effects of Prescription Drugs on Vitamin/Mineral Status – Dr. Jessica Beal Currently in the US, there are 131 million individuals who use prescription medication. Whether that's to lower high cholesterol or blood pressure or treat a specific disease like diabetes, the pharmaceutical industry generates close to $500 billion in annual revenue. With the amount of individuals using prescription drugs today, how many realize the medication in which they are taking could be depleting their body from important vitamins and minerals. In this podcast, we speak with pharmacist Dr. Jessica Beal, who discusses the role of medication on vitamin and mineral depletion. We specifically dive into which medications pose the most significant risk at causing a nutrient deficiency along with what type of side effects to expect when deficient. We close out with how to prevent nutrient depletion but stay tuned until the end where Dr. Beal explains what she would say to young Jessica if she could go back in time. Jessica Beal, PharmD Jessica is as an athlete and healthcare care provider. She was a 3-sport letterman in high school, club volleyball player, 4 yr D1 volleyball player, CrossFit athlete, and current national and international Olympic weightlifter. She understands the grueling workout schedules, balancing school with competition and training, and trying to find rest and recovery in both mind and body. ​ As a pharmacist for over 15 years, most of her career has been dispensing medications for chronic conditions and educating thousands of patients about their health, disease states, medication, and supplements. However, as the community pharmacist's role evolved from just dispensing, she dove into integrative and functional medicine foundations to be a better health professional and coach for her patients. She realized the core of most patients' conditions as they often missed the foundations and tools for understanding nutrition, daily movement, quality sleep, self-care, and the impacts of chronic stress.

The ALL ME® Podcast CrossFit Comeback – Tony Turski Over the years, we have heard many stories within the world of Appearance and Performance Enhancing Substances. In this episode, we hear a story from someone that made a mistake with these substances. Tony Turski is a competitive CrossFit athlete. He started and still runs his own CrossFit gym and has competed in many CrossFit games over the years. After having early success in those games, Tony ended up testing positive for a banned substance in the 2017 games. We talk to Tony about his background in CrossFit, what he tested positive for, why he made that decision, and how he felt after he received the news. An important part of Tony's story is what he did after his positive test. He received a four-year suspension, and it would have been easier for him to leave the sport. He decided to face the news head on and own his mistake so that others can learn from it. He will tell us how his gym responded to the news, what the next steps were, and why he is back competing today. He will also share his advice for anyone out there considering the use of these substances, and inspire us all to achieve our goals the right way!
