In this episode, I’m speaking for a third time with Borge Fagerli about some powerful mindset techniques he uses in his coaching practice that will help you achieve your fitness, muscle-building, and weight-loss goals.  If you haven’t yet, be sure to listen to our first two episodes. In them, Borge explains his simplified but highly effective approach to training, gives us some insight into his history, and explains why he’s now focused on psychology and mindset rather than the common hyper focus on relatively trivial details that tends to dominate the world of evidence-based fitness.

In this episode, I’m speaking with holistic dentist and educator Dr. Judson Wall about how oral health is the overlooked gateway to full-body health and the most potent ways to keep your teeth and gums (and every other body system!) working optimally. This podcast was initially released in April 2022.  In this podcast, Dr. Judson and I discuss:   The top nutrient deficiencies that contribute most to dental decay, decreased bone density, and nerve issues (and a whole host of other problems)   Does fluoride work…in toothpaste or drinking water? And is it really as harmful as some people say it is?   Why our ancestors didn’t need to brush their teeth or floss (and what we can learn from them)   The best natural alternatives to commercial toothpaste products   Why the pH of the mouth is the most vital aspect of avoiding gum disease…do you know your oral pH?   Why root canals and silver fillings are terrible practices (along with effective alternatives and remedies)   Tips for avoiding sleep apnea and poor craniofacial development in childhood   Dr. Wall’s top 4 tips for excellent oral hygiene and health

In this episode, I’m re-releasing an episode with Dr. Stephan Guyenet and Dr. Mario Kratz, two impressively experienced nutrition researchers with a wide range of expertise, about their organization Red Pen Reviews, a non-profit dedicated to publishing unbiased, scientifically accurate reviews for current nutrition books hitting the market. Today, we focus on two popular but controversial books—Dr. Steven Gundry’s The Plant Paradox and Carnivore Code from Dr. Paul Saladino. This podcast was originally published on August 27 2022 In this podcast, Dr. Guyenet, Dr. Kratz, and I discuss:   How difficult it is to parse out accurate versus inaccurate and biased information and the regulated and systematic role of Red Pen Reviews in clearing up the confusion   The 3 focus areas Dr. Guyenet and Dr. Kratz use to score the books they review and the importance of each   How the health claims made in Carnivore Code compare to research AND anecdotal reports of people eating the diet…and how the main claim that humans evolved to be carnivores compares to evolutionary evidence   Possible downsides or even dangers of the carnivore diet and if these caveats are discussed in the book   The full truth of the claim that elevated LDL is not a cardiovascular concern if a person has excellent metabolic health   Does a nose-to-tail carnivore diet provide all the nutrients you need each day?   The Plant Paradox’s primary claim that certain plant lectins lead to approximately 50 diseases…plus, what a lectin actually is!   What current research tells us about lectins triggering leaky gut, inflammation, and autoimmune disease    The health status of people who eat large amounts of lectin-rich legumes, tomatoes, and other nightshade vegetables   Could lectins and other plant foods be stressful BUT ALSO beneficial at the same time?   Practical ways to evaluate the nutrition information you take in every day so you can more easily consider what’s accurate and what’s likely not

In this episode, I’m happy to welcome Borge back for another conversation about fitness. But this time, he’s focusing on the importance of mindset.  However, this isn’t the same mindset information you’ve heard in other places. Borge has decades of experience as a fitness expert, and he’s now approaching health through an incredibly authentic, honest, and highly effective lens that I think will help you achieve your goals, too. In this podcast, Borge and I discuss:   Why he switched his focus from purely muscle building to mindset, and the fascinating concept of the Dunning-Kruger effect that fueled this shift   Why a big-picture view of health, fitness, and even life might be the best context for understanding new information (and living happily!) versus getting lost in the details   Our own personal journeys in the fitness industry and why comparison truly is the thief of joy   The role of social media in how we perceive ourselves and the illusion of optimal that it promotes; unfortunately, the algorithm rarely rewards authenticity    The signs that let you know someone is lying to you on social media   One major step Borge took to bring more honesty and authenticity into his already powerful message   Understanding when you should self-experiment and when you should follow a protocol…there’s a time and place for both!   Is biohacking really as valuable as everyone says it is? Or is there a more simplistic approach to health that’s just as effective?    The importance of enjoyment as part of our health routines…don’t forget to achieve your goals AND have fun!
