In this episode, Jay interviews Kris Gethin, an internationally renowned entrepreneur, fitness trainer, and physique transformation specialist. They cover a variety of topics related to taking ownership over your physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. Most of us...
The whole point of optimization is to live the richest life possible at the highest level of vitality. For millions of people, pain is a massive disruptor that makes this virtually impossible. When we get our wellness right, taking care of ourselves provides a sense...
The default for living in the West is poor health. The ills of modern society aren’t just numerous, they are also entirely by design. Sick, unhealthy people make for better consumers and they are much easier to manipulate. There’s a mission to undo our personal...
As a healing modality, sound waves are incredible. So much stuff can be done with harmonies and acoustic waves, including changing the world of chiropractic as we know it. Many alignment issues in the body can be attributed to the atlas, and a powerful treatment can...
Peptides have accelerated the optimization space by at least half a century. While allopathic medicine plays catch up, people are fine-tuning every aspect of their wellbeing, doing what was impossible a few years ago. Peptides are powerful and capable of many things,...
In this broken healthcare system, people are given life-altering diagnoses, handed a bottle of pills, and nothing else. There’s no talk of food, which is crazy because we’re made of what’s going through our bodies. Daily, we suffer assaults on our microbiome, and it’s...
For decades, men have been deprived of the best testosterone optimization because doctors constantly misinterpret the literature. They make assumptions that aren’t backed by evidence and concern themselves with issues that aren’t even there. These myths don’t just...
Over the last few years, the entire hormone optimization space has unraveled, and there’s a huge fear that restrictions will crack down on everyone, including the doctors who are doing it right. Between the mess with T-mills and the prescribing community, there are a...
Can something as simple as music make you run faster, lift more, and enhance your overall physical performance? It's a question we've asked ourselves since 1911, when scientist Leonard Ayres happened to notice cyclists in a six-day race going faster while a music band...
So much of modern life is dependent on technology that’s killing us, but going completely off the grid is near-impossible. Therefore, our best bet to combat the damage being done to us is through optimization. The problem is, many of us still don’t know how to...
The human brain does everything in its power to keep us out of harm's way, but in doing so, it often holds us back from reaching a state of total optimization. For this reason, it doesn't matter how much we want to optimize ourselves; our brains simply won't allow it...
The fitness and personal coaching space is packed to the rafters right now, and for those looking to optimize, all the options can get overwhelming, fast. How can we even begin to pinpoint who to work with or what we need?Who actually knows what they’re talking about,...
The fact that we’re seeing an astronomical increase in everything from obesity, to cancer and depression should come as no surprise. Nearly every part of our lives has been contaminated, and our hormones are out of whack as a collective because of it, paving the way...
A while ago, I received this question from a reader about cardiovascular training ("cardio") and therapeutic testosterone: "My normal resting heart rate is about 56 but when I am on TRT, my RHR [resting heart rate] and average heart rate both increase by 5 to 8 beats...
Individuals respond differently to different things, so why should we expect our health to be the exception to the rule? If we want to function at our optimal level, we have to take an individualized approach. The question is, how? How can we develop a closer...
Let's get real: For a man, there's nothing more unattractive than having gynecomastia, also known as "gyno", "man boobs" or "b*tch tits". It cripples men to the point where they avoid dating or swimming in public pools. But it's no longer a rare condition: In Denmark...
We’re living through our planet’s dark night of the soul, and nearly everyone is an open wound navigating our present reality. With so many of us in near-constant survival mode, how can we find light, love, and joy amidst it all? Is it possible to stand in the light...
Cialis may seem like the "alternative" drug for the ~30 million men in the United States suffering from erectile dysfunction (ED) when the more famous Viagra is not immediately available (Source). This doesn't make it inferior... not by any means, and the numbers...
Human Growth Hormone (hGH) has been a vital element of every bodybuilder's toolbox since the late-20th century -- one of the magical items that seemingly doesn't get mentioned alongside the phrase "eat clean and train hard" But perhaps there's a new way to use it......
For years, mainstream medical research has suggested that DHT and androgens are dangerous to our health, but we now know that not to be true. That being said, we do need to ensure we're using performance-enhancement modalities correctly if we want to see the best...
Fully optimized health involves EVERY single facet of your body - it's so much more than how much you can lift or how you look in the mirror. Being of supreme health requires the conscious awareness of your physical meat suit. From your organs and all the way down to...
Getting older doesn't have to mean slowing down. In fact, if we’re using the right healthcare, there’s no reason we can’t do everything we did at 25, at 75. So, what does the ‘right’ healthcare look like, and how does it differ from the more traditional routes...
Have you ever wondered if humanity will reach the point where you can take a pill and immediately receive all the amazing benefits of exercise? We are nowhere near the point where all of the benefits of physical activity can be jam-packed into a single pharmaceutical...
Since my first book on testosterone replacement therapy was published in 2015, I have ALWAYS recommended Tesamorelin as one of the best peptides for weight loss in existence. Not only is the Tesamorelin peptide an essential part of my daily supplement stack, but I...
Ipamorelin is the best peptide for fat loss - fact or fiction? I can confirm that you would be doing yourself a MASSIVE dis-service if Ipamorelin wasn't a critical part of your fat loss supplement stack. The same way you'd be missing out if you didn't use BPC-157 to...
By Mitch Calvert Do you ever stay up late and curse yourself the next morning when your alarm clock goes off? Is it often paired with a bag of chips and bottle of wine? It’s a far too common problem I see clients make. But you seem unable to see the big picture in the...
By Mitch Calvert I’ve probably talked to people about food — and heard their struggles with diet — more than anything else in 2019. Enough times to see a few trends among those who succeed at this diet stuff and those who don’t. So what have I seen work amongst my...
You’ve probably seen or at least heard of the documentary The Game Changers. Maybe you watched it already and immediately dumped all the meat from your freezer into the garbage. But I’m here to present the facts from both sides, and documentaries like this one are...
Around this time of year, people are making all kinds of resolutions to improve their health. Some people want to lift more weight in the gym and possibly beat their all time 1-rep maxes on the “Big 3” (squat, bench, deadlift). Other people want to run a full-on...
