The Dr. Mike Show

Welocme to Episode 42 of the Dr. Mike Show.

I’ve been wanting to record this episode for a long time. 

I’m glad that I waited because the more I thought about what to say, the more refined (and then valuable) the points I wanted to share with you became. This episode two months ago would have been me talking about the 6 Pillars of Nutrition again…

This isn’t that.

So what is this episode? In today’s show I lay out for you the details behind the Strong, Fit, & Healthy Life philosophy. I’m sure over the years you’ve heard me reference living a strong, fit, & healthy life but what does that actually mean?

In today’s show, we unpack that. Looking at each aspect - strength, fitness, and health and then what needs to be done to connect the dots between these 3 key factors for your life (not 28 days and not 6 weeks).

Welcome to episode 41 ... In today’s show I talk about a new study from the Journal of the American Medical Association that looked at the effects of 2-3 years of intensive blood pressure control on cardiovascular disease mortality almost 9 years later. Does controlling your blood pressure for a couple years have lasting effects on heart health?

We’ll explore how a friend of mine used the burrito diet to lose 100lbs (and maintain that loss) while body transformation contests left him frustrated with excessive rebound weight gain.

Finally we look into how your body is programmed to help you get success early to keep you motivated to ensure that you keep going.

Welcome to Episode 38 of the Dr. Mike Show!

Today are are going to get into my top 5 mind hacks for better eating (and living). The mental aspect of nutrition is often the limited factor in our success. Is our mind helping or hurting us do the things that we need to do each day in order to reach out goals?

In this episode I share with you 5 of my goto mental strategies for winning the hand to hand combat that is daily healthy living. We talk about 2 strategies I swiped and remixed from meditation pioneer Jn Kabat-Zinn, how to avoid the trap of needing to find a consistent rhythm for your diet, and how commitment to ONE (that's right, just one) healthy habit can be the thing that pushes you forward towards your goals.

Welcome to Episode 37 of the Dr. Mike Show.

This week I’ve put together for you some of my favorite snippets from season 1 of my other show - Friday Fuel Up.

Friday Fuel Up was created so that I could pull nutrition and performance secrets from some of the world’s best. In these highlights you’ll hear from

-Professional skier and mountain biker KC Deane about how he melds goals into actions. didn’t have access to my office to record an episode

-The head of nutrition for the LA Rams, Joey Blake on how he unlocks the power of nutrition in his NFL athletes (and how you can do it too)

-Legendary outdoorsman and snowboarder Jeremy Jones on his method for building and maintaining a high level of fitness.

-Olympic Champion Triathletes (and Brothers), Alistair and Jonny Brownlee on the difference between theory and practice for when it comes to recovering from competitions and training.

-Former NASA Astronaut Scott Kelly on one of his inspirations for his record setting 341 consecutive days in space. -Windboarding legend, Robbie Nash on how he became on of the best in the world while being allergic to setting goals.

-Jordan Mazur, the Director of Nutrition: San Francisco 49ers, on the nutrition strategies that he uses with NFL players that you can put into play in your life too.

Doing all these interviews was one of my highlights of the past year and I hope that you get as much out of them as I did. You can see all the episodes from Season 1 at the American Pistachio Growers (americanpistachios.org) website.

Welcome to Episode 36 of the Dr. Mike Show!

Today I discuss a long overdue and highly requested topic - youth nutrition. What should you do to optimize your kids nutrition? More importantly HOW should you go about doing it.

This episode is full of everything:

- A little science, like energy density

- A little human behavior, like the role of modeling in food choices

- A little trickery, like how to hide vegetables in your kids’ meals

- A little humor, like my 11yo’s views on the role of beans in global warming.

We kick the episode off with a sad/funny email I got from a PR person trying to pitch me a misguided article/interview about protein - you’ll want to listen to this :)
