If you have been listening to the B.rad podcast this year, you know I’ve been second guessing the role of fasting for healthy, energetic folks. 

Fasting offers a tremendous amount of health benefits, but if many (if not most) of the health benefits are incidental, can fasting still be considered a worthwhile practice?

Breather: Second Guessing Fasting

In this episode, I talk about three simple ways to control chronic inflammation—and how to keep score on your progress instead of chasing expensive supplements.

The topic was inspired by a friend who texted me a photo of a pricey bottle of antioxidants and asked if it would help with inflammation, which prompted some classic Brad-splaining. I explain why the biggest drivers of chronic inflammation are everyday lifestyle habits—especially diet—and why heavily processed foods, refined industrial seed oils, refined grains, sugars, and alcohol disrupt metabolic health and promote visceral belly fat, the dangerous fat around your organs that actively releases inflammatory agents into the bloodstream. The goal is shifting toward a protein-centric, nutrient-dense whole foods diet.

I also cover the other major pillars: movement and sleep. Sitting too much can promote inflammatory processes, while chronic overtraining can keep the body stuck in a sympathetic stress response—so the goal is regular daily movement paired with a sensible fitness program.

Finally, I explain why sleep, rest, recovery, and true downtime are essential for repair and brain health, including the role of the glymphatic system. Before spending money on exotic supplements, focus on the basics: clean up your diet, move more throughout the day, and prioritize sleep.

 

TIMESTAMPS:

The inflammation in your body is believed to be the root cause of virtually all disease. [01:00]

Chronic inflammtion is mostly caused by a poor diet. [03:00]

Watch out for the oils you are served when dining out.  In your kitchen toss out the soy bean oil, corn oil, safflower, sunflower, cottonseed oil, and canola oil. [06:16]

Oil that is naturally yielded such as first cold pressed virgin olive oil as well as coconut oil are better. [08:35]

Be careful when you look for avocado oil because some have been altered and mixed with cheaper oils. [09:27]

If you're snacking and consuming a lot of these foods throughout the day, throughout your life, you're going to have chronic overproduction of insulin. [11:25]

We have to put alcohol and most energy bars on this list of causes of systemic inflammation. [13:00]

Steak and eggs are good breakfast choices. [14:59]

Having an accumulation of visceral fat is a huge red flag. [16:33]

Exercise and movement influence inflammation.  In order for our organs and systems to work appropriately, we need to be in near constant movement throughout the day. [22:00]

Learn what works for you.  Sitting to much promotes chronic inflammation and over exercising promotes chronic inflammation.  [28:46]

Sleep is more important than most people think. [31:02]

3 Steps to Control Chronic Inflammation (And How to Keep Score On Your Progress)

In this episode, I talk with Dr. Courtney Conley, world renowned foot expert and author of the sensational new book, Walk: Rediscover the Most Natural Way to Boost Your Health and Longevity One Step at a Time. 

Mark Sisson and I are big fans of Dr. Courtney’s work—there’s so much crossover with what we wrote in Born to Walk—and she does a beautiful job not just highlighting the wonderful benefits of walking, but getting into the specifics of how to create lifestyle habits so you can put in more steps, strengthen your feet, and rethink concepts like the 10,000-steps-a-day recommendation.

We talk about why walking is not exercise, but a physiological necessity—our survival as a species has hinged on one key factor: movement. Dr. Courtney makes the bold case that walking speed should be considered the sixth vital sign, explaining how slower walking pace is predictive of dementia and increased cancer risk, and how simply adding 500 steps to a 2,500-step baseline can reduce all-cause mortality by 7%. We challenge the 10,000-step myth and break down why living in the 5,000–8,500 step range delivers powerful benefits, especially when you sprinkle in five-minute movement snacks and intentional faster walking.

We also go deep into foot strength and modern footwear, including why one in three people over age 45 has foot pain, how constant cushioning can weaken the foot, why pronation is mandatory for a healthy gait, and her 24-hour shoe clock concept—there’s a time and a place for everything, but the goal is trending toward barefoot functionality so the foot can do what it was designed to do.

Dr. Courtney Conley holds a Doctorate in Chiropractic Medicine and bachelor’s degrees in Kinesiology and Human Biology. She is the founder and creator of Gait Happens and has worked with professional athletic organizations including the Phoenix Suns, New York Yankees, Cleveland Browns, New York Giants, San Francisco 49ers, and Minnesota Vikings. She serves as Head of Patient Care at Total Health Solutions and Total Health Performance, premier healthcare destinations known for their comprehensive, science-based approach to patient care.

 

TIMESTAMPS:

Our survival as a species has hinged on one key factor: movement. (Dr. Conley) [01:17]

Why are we treating the foot so much differently than we're treating the rest of the human body? [07:07]

Gait Happens is an online educational company. [10:48]

The super cushioned shoes can improve performance because it allows your foot to not have todo the work that it is designed to do. But you need to get your feet stronger. [14:32]

One out of three people over the age of 45 have foot pain. [18:39]

Walking should be integrated throughout the day. [24:10]

On the bottom of the foot, we have many sensory receptors. When we put cushioned shoes on, we compromise some important sensory information. [27:09]

The speed of one's gait can be predictive of longevity. [28:43]

When the heel hits the ground, it starts the cascade of the foot unlocking or pronation. That is a mandatory thing that has to happen. [34:46]

The 10,000 steps we have heard so much about is kind of a myth. [39:36]

Walking is all about rotation. You are nourishing your joints. You’re loading your spine and bones. Your muscles are active and your nervous system is engaged. [46:28]

There is a difference between ambient walking and intentional walking. [47:40]

In her clinic, the most common things she sees are heel pain and big toe pain. [49:18]

Many folks in the running population who are heavy users of the elevated cushion shoes visit her clinic to learn ways to strengthen their feet.  [53:17]

What exercises and strengthening can people learn from the book? [54:38]

Your shoe should respect the anatomy of the foot. The widest part of the shoe should be the toes. [58:44]

In this episode, I talk with Dr. Courtney Conley, world renowned foot expert and author of the sensational new book, Walk: Rediscover the Most Natural Way to Boost Your Health and Longevity One Step at a Time. 
Mark Sisson and I are big fans of Dr. Courtney&rsquo;s work&mdash;there&rsquo;s so much crossover with what we wrote in&nbsp;Born to Walk&mdash;and she does a beautiful job not just highlighting the wonderful benefits of walking, but getting into the specifics of how to create lifestyle habits so you can put in more steps, strengthen your feet, and rethink concepts like the 10,000-steps-a-day recommendation.
We talk about why walking is not exercise, but a physiological necessity&mdash;our survival as a species has hinged on one key factor: movement. Dr. Courtney makes the bold case that walking speed should be considered the sixth vital sign, explaining how slower walking pace is predictive of dementia and increased cancer risk, and how simply adding 500 steps to a 2,500-step baseline can reduce all-cause mortality by 7%. We challenge the 10,000-step myth and break down why living in the 5,000&ndash;8,500 step range delivers powerful benefits, especially when you sprinkle in five-minute movement snacks and intentional faster walking.
We also go deep into foot strength and modern footwear, including why one in three people over age 45 has foot pain, how constant cushioning can weaken the foot, why pronation is mandatory for a healthy gait, and her 24-hour shoe clock concept&mdash;there&rsquo;s a time and a place for everything, but the goal is trending toward barefoot functionality so the foot can do what it was designed to do.
Dr. Courtney Conley holds a Doctorate in Chiropractic Medicine and bachelor&rsquo;s degrees in Kinesiology and Human Biology. She is the founder and creator of <a href="https://gaithappens.com/">Gait Happens</a> and has worked with professional athletic organizations including the Phoenix Suns, New York Yankees, Cleveland Browns, New York Giants, San Francisco 49ers, and Minnesota Vikings. She serves as Head of Patient Care at Total Health Solutions and Total Health Performance, premier healthcare destinations known for their comprehensive, science-based approach to patient care.

TIMESTAMPS:
Our survival as a species has hinged on one key factor: movement. (Dr. Conley) [01:17]
Why are we treating the foot so much differently than we're treating the rest of the human body? [07:07]
Gait Happens is an online educational company. [10:48]
The super cushioned shoes can improve performance because it allows your foot to not have to do the work that it is designed to do. But you need to get your feet stronger. [14:32]
One out of three people over the age of 45 have foot pain. [18:39]
Walking should be integrated throughout the day. [24:10]
On the bottom of the foot, we have many sensory receptors. When we put cushioned shoes on, we compromise some important sensory information. [27:09]
The speed of one's gait can be predictive of longevity. [28:43]
When the heel hits the ground, it starts the cascade of the foot unlocking or pronation. That is a mandatory thing that has to happen. [34:46]
The 10,000 steps we have heard so much about is kind of a myth. [39:36]
Walking is all about rotation. You are nourishing your joints. You&rsquo;re loading your spine and bones. Your muscles are active and your nervous system is engaged. [46:28]
There is a difference between ambient walking and intentional walking. [47:40]
In her clinic, the most common things she sees are heel pain and big toe pain. [49:18]
Many folks in the running population who are heavy users of the elevated cushion shoes visit her clinic to learn ways to strengthen their feet.&nbsp; [53:17]
What exercises and strengthening can people learn from the book? [54:38]
Your shoe should respect the anatomy of the foot. The widest part of the shoe should be the toes. [58:44]

Why Your Feet Are The Most Overlooked Element Of Lifelong Health

In this episode, I talk with Dr. Tommy Wood about how to protect and strengthen brain health across the lifespan—how overstimulation, chronic stress, and not giving your brain time to rest and recover undermines focus and productivity, and why restructuring your workday, prioritizing sleep, and building in real cognitive breaks can help you think more clearly and perform better.

We discuss how the balance of stimulus, supply, and support shifts as we age, why retirement and prolonged illness can accelerate cognitive decline without ongoing challenge, and how physical activity, deep work, and continued learning help maintain function and even build “crystallized intelligence”—wisdom—later in life.

We also get into genetic risk and why it’s largely a probability game where lifestyle can stack the deck in your favor; the powerful role of social connection and helping others in reducing dementia risk; how to use digital tools for real connection instead of passive consumption; and the cognitive effects of substances like nicotine, alcohol, cannabis, and stimulants. Dr. Tommy shares practical strategies—from structuring your day around focused work and restorative breaks to picking hobbies that challenge your brain—as well as simple ways to maintain cognitive function, extend the time you stay sharp, and lower the likelihood of decline over your life.

 

TIMESTAMPS:

Tommy Wood's new book explains the environmental impact on your brain health. [01:07]

In adults over 40, dementia is the number one health concern. [07:21]

Why haven't we done a better job of understanding the brain's neurological disease? [13:28]

Studies have shown that an older adult learning a new language or musical instrument, experiences significant changes in the structure of the brain. [20:45]

Failure is the primary driver of neuroplasticity. [21:35]

If you do one of two activities such as attending lectures, writing, classes, volunteering, sports and such, you are best protected from dementia. [ 26:00]

What are the three S's that are the key to long-term brain health and disease prevention? [29:08]

Metabolic disease like high blood pressure is a significant risk factor for dementia. [35:13]

People who are stressed usually don't give their brain time to recover. [36:03]

Some people do have genetic influence and possibly have a higher risk that they can learn to work with. [38:33]

It's estimated that 45 to 70 ish percent of dementias are preventable. [39:53]

We can eliminate this accelerated decline that we are seeing around us by hitting the checkpoints like move, nourish, stimulate, connect and adapt. [47:06]

Social connection is terribly important. [47:43]

The areas of the brain that are most susceptible to decreases in function as we age, are the areas of the brain that are negatively impacted by being socially isolated. [51:27]

What is the impact of the digital world that surrounds us? What about smoking and alcohol? [52:26]

Marijuana use definitely has an effect on the brain. [01:02:46]

If someone only has a small amount of time to learn these things, what would be the tips you would give them? [01:07:34]
