Except when they don’t. Shoes don’t always match up to the function of your life. You can end up with pain and misalignment throughout your body when your feet are encased in shoes that don’t support your body’s natural biomechanics.Feet, for all their variety in shape and size, get the award for amazing. Your feet literally form the center of your body’s whole system of movement. Did you know these facts about the human foot?26 bones, nearly 30 muscles and thousands of nerve endings33 articulations (each with six degrees of freedom of motion) Humans began running about 2 million years ago to be able to hunt“If the foot moves normally, then the muscles start to work and so on and so on,” says Peter Francis, Ph.D. “It’s really just about allowing your foot to move as nature intended.”Peter joins the show from the Carlow Institute of Technology in Carlow, Ireland. There, he lectures in sport and health science and researches how modern environments effect human health and performance. With degrees in Sport and Exercise Science and Physical Therapy, and a PhD in Exercise Science, he’s written more than two dozen peer-reviewed journal articles and led numerous research projects. He’s also worked with teams and individuals at amateur, European and Olympic level. He knows feet! And, he’s got a lot to share about how feet influence the way your body moves. A runner himself, Peter studies the role of foot development with and without shoes. He then figures out what that means for movement skills and injury risk.Your feet are by their form and function incredibly sensory. When you block sensory information from your feet, you have trouble maintaining stability and balance.You may think that your shoes help support your feet, but the opposite proves true. Shoes strip your natural movement and make your feet weak.Your shoes, not your feet, are the problem.In this conversation, you’ll learn what footwear works best for you and your kids and the importance of variability and fun in your movements.

A regular contributor to groundbreaking science, he’s back on the show to talk about why you should be paying attention to your uric acid levels. Dr. Perlmutter is a neurologist and five-time New York Times bestselling author. His books include “Brain Wash,” “Grain Brain” and  “Brain Maker.” He’s recognized internationally as a leader in the field of nutritional influences in neurological disorders. Now, he’s turning his attention to how uric acid threatens your metabolic health.Uric acid is a waste product of metabolism, and its levels are a key health marker and indicator of chronic degenerative diseases. When uric acid levels rise, they tell your body to store fat, which messes with your metabolism and poses a danger to your health.Alcohol, purines (breakdown product of DNA and RNA in foods) and fructose (the kind of sugar found in processed foods) are the three main sources of uric acid. Since the days of our primate ancestors, we’ve lost the ability to break down uricase, so what we choose to consume makes a big difference.“If we can emulate those signals to our DNA and our physiology that have evolved to keep us healthy,” Dr. Perlmutter says, “we're going a long way to offsetting these incredibly powerful metabolic disruptions that are paving the way for the biggest cause of disease on our planet.”His newest book, “Drop Acid: The Surprising New Science of Uric Acid—The Key to Losing Weight, Controlling Blood Sugar, and Achieving Extraordinary Health,” includes ways to measure, control and track your uric acid levels and key strategies to manage them. You’ll find out the top five foods that raise uric acid (hint: fructose earns the No. 1 spot). You’ll also find out the five important supplements to take to lower your uric acid levels back into a healthy range.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

You’ve got to go for radical adaptability. He’s here to explain what it means and how you can use it for yourself and your business. “The essence of radical adaptability is that it is predictive, proactive, and progressive, very unlike the typical response to change, which is inherently reactive and conformist,” he says.Keith, an expert in relational and collaborative sciences, founded Ferrazzi Greenlight, a research institute that focuses on the impacts of behavioral science on business. He coaches Fortune 100 company leaders and executive teams. In that coaching, he teaches people how they can change their organizational behaviors to increase growth and value.“If you're in business, if you work in an organization or you're a leader of an organization, what you're going to hear from us today is, well, how do you need to reboot yourself so that you don't crawl out of the rubble and go back to old work ways, but you, what I call, don't go back to work, you go forward to work,” Keith says. “How do you leap forward 10 years out of the pandemic?”He addresses those questions in his new book, “Competing in the New World of Work: How Radical Adaptability Separates the Best from the Rest.” With equal parts vulnerability, authenticity and honesty, Keith walks you through how to become the best version of your career self. For example, he’ll talk about the importance of collaborating with your colleagues to focus on growth and learning, challenging your assumptions to build empathy and why without resilience you won’t make it far. You’ll also get a look into specific tools and apps that can help you build resilience from a distance, with trust.Keith talks about a “Go Forward to Work” project he led during the pandemic that documented best practices and innovations happening in the workplace. Here’s what he found: “The pandemic gave people courage to shoot through the shit and state the truth, because there was an emergency going on and we rose to an occasion, and we didn't give a shit about silos.”In a post-pandemic world, it’s absolutely necessary to master radical adaptability.

He’ll discuss how the job of pharmaceutical companies–no matter how effective a project may be–is to make a profit. It’s important to never forget that, Dr. Abramson says.Dr. Abramson offers ways you can put your trust back in science and take your health into your own hands in a world of corporate giants.

However, when the voice turns to negative and disorienting self-talk (chatter), it can create chaos and overwhelm by zooming into our problems, making you lose perspective.Ethan’s pioneering research mixes behavioral and brain research to get at the “why” behind human nature.

Her father, Holocaust survivor Dr. Alex Hershaft, co-founded the modern animal rights movement in the U.S. more than 40 years ago. She speaks to the ethical, moral and deeply traumatic reasons people choose veganism. Those points cannot be dismissed. Nor can the implications of a completely plant-based diet without animal protein on human health.Monica shares her story of being an active, athletic teen and continuing veganism into adulthood. It was a trendy detox program at age 34 that triggered her rocky, decade-long health journey from debilitating sickness to finding health solutions. “It didn't even occur to me as a child to think anything different because that's just how I was raised and that's how we ate,” she explains. “Eventually, when I did grow up and get sick, it took a while for me to even consider that it could be my diet. So, it was a very big pivot mentally to make that leap.”She also wrestled with coming out as Paleo to her father and what discarding veganism meant for her family relationships. “I had to be willing to lose the relationship, to stand up for what my truth was,” she says. Healing her physical and mental health led the hard discussions: “I'm going to be eating animal protein at every single meal, because I believe that that's how I can keep my life and my health,” she recalls saying. Monica’s now a bestselling author, motivational speaker, holistic health practitioner and nutritional consultant. She founded a top-rated holistic wellness center in Los Angeles and recently relocated to Scottsdale, AZ where she works 1:1 with patients to get their health back. She helps people heal from illness that other medical professionals often label a “mystery.” You’ll gain valuable information from this conversation, such as:how to assess your symptoms, how to understand nervous system switching and blocking,the important relationship between the vagus nerve and an allergic state,food checklists to follow, how to recognize harmful food propaganda,why fungus and metals are the big thing (in vegetarians/vegans),why animal welfare and good soil matters,educational videos to watch, programs to attend, and,how to find help from functional, alternative and holistic professionals.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Kushner joins the show to talk about new research findings. He was part of a team that published semaglutide study results in the New England Journal of Medicine this past year. Looking into semaglutide, typically used for Type 2 Diabetes, showed that it also reduced body weight.We talk about how you might use semaglutide, both from an aging perspective and from a weight loss perspective. You look at risk reward for everything you can do, and then you decide what's going to work best for you. There's some interesting knowledge to be gained from the research on semaglutide.Here’s the short version of how it works: “Semaglutide mimics our naturally occurring hormone called GLP-1,” explains Dr. Kushner. “When you give it back to a person in pharmacologic doses or high doses, but it mimics what we normally have, it augments or highlights this feeling of, "You know what, I am really not as hungry as I was before. I'm more full than I was before, so I don't need as much food." It's actually the change in appetite that causes a weight loss that we see with this kind of a drug.”A clinician, educator and researcher, Dr. Kushner has spent his decades-long career on adult weight management for adults. Board certified in both internal medicine and nutrition, he maintains a medical practice, teaches students and medical professionals, and presents around the world. He’s written more than 250 original articles, as well as reviews, books and medical book chapters.He’s Medical Director of the Center for Lifestyle Medicine at Northwestern Medicine in Chicago; a professor of Medicine in the Division of Endocrinology and a professor of Medical Education at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine.This episode’s conversation includes the role of lifestyle in weight management. It’s shortsighted to view semaglutide as a wonder drug isolated from diet, exercise and even mental health. It’s all related. And new understanding of obesity as a disease and its biological drivers helps the search for lasting solutions, including training for healthcare professionals.Listen on to find out more about semaglutide and six factors that might be causing your weight gain or making it difficult for you to lose weight.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

So when he began experiencing worsening vision over the past several years, he wanted to know how he could improve it.“There's strength and there's flexibility,” Dave says. “And as you age, your eyes, the muscles lose strength. The tissues lose flexibility and this has to do with collagen types and cross linking of collagen. You're actually seeing yellowing of parts of the lens in your eye. And then, there's also a neurological thing where the brain may not actually be connecting.”In this “Interventions with Dave” episode, you’ll learn about:Effective supplements for eye health How mitochondrial health affects visionThe importance of morning sunlightEye exercises to restore ability to focus based on the Bates Method and Meier Schneider’s "Yoga For Your Eyes"Gabor patches to stress your brain's visual perception areaEye training using an app, like GlassesOff.Palming IV stem cellsMore about Mark BellWebsites: Mark Bell and Sling ShotPreviously on Bulletproof Radio: Bigger, Stronger, Faster: Powerlifter Mark Bell & HBO Filmmaker Chris Bell – #432Note: The "Interventions With Dave” recommendations are designed to help you upgrade yourself and your biology so you can perform better at everything you do. They are not, however, a substitute for advice or treatment by a trained medical professional that may be needed for specific health conditions, illness or injury.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Bulletproof Executive Radio was born out of a fifteen-year single-minded crusade to upgrade the human being using every available technology. It distills the knowledge of world-class MDs, biochemists, Olympic nutritionists, meditation experts, and more than $1M spent on personal self-experiments. From private brain EEG facilities hidden in a Canadian forest to remote monasteries in Tibet, from Silicon Valley to the Andes, high tech entrepreneur Dave Asprey used hacking techniques and tried everything himself, obsessively focused on discovering: What are the simplest things you can do to be better at everything? Welcome to being Bulletproof, the State of High Performance where you take control and improve your biochemistry, your body, and your mind so they work in unison, helping you execute at levels far beyond what you’d expect, without burning out, getting sick, or just acting like a stressed-out a-hole. It used to take a lifetime to radically rewire the human body and mind this way. Technology has changed the rules. Follow along as Dave Asprey and guests provide you with everything you need to upgrade your mind, body, and life.
