Get Leaner & Live Longer

Have you ever wondered if that lemon fresh cleaner under your sink, laundry detergent, that Febreze, or even the lotion we put on in the morning could be quietly wrecking our hormones? Jared St. Clair, owner of Vitality Nutrition and host of Vitality Radio, shares his insights on the supplement industry. He describes how chemicals disrupt hormones in products and the environment. These chemicals mimic hormones and block cell receptors, leading to reduced hormone levels, like testosterone, for men and women. Jared states that hormone increase without clearing blockages causes issues. He suggests a two-part process: detoxifying the liver, then cleansing the endocrine system with indole-3 carbonyl, DIM, and calcium deglucrate. This method supports the body's hormone function. Key Takeaways Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals (EDCs): Many daily products (cleaners, detergents, beauty products, scented items, nonstick cookware) and environmental factors contain EDCs that mimic natural hormones and block cell receptors, causing hormonal imbalance. Impact on Hormones: EDCs lead to cellular confusion, reduce natural hormone production (e.g., significant drops in testosterone levels over decades for men), and impair hormone message delivery, affecting muscle building, fat loss, libido, and well-being. Detoxification Strategy: It is essential to detoxify the endocrine system rather than just boost hormones. Two-Phase Detox Process: Liver Detox: Perform a 30-60 day liver detox to help metabolize and eliminate toxins, ensuring healthy bowel movements and hydration. Tylenol is a significant liver stressor; natural alternatives or daily gentle liver support (NAC, dandelion root) are recommended. Endocrine Detox: Follow with 3-4 months of endocrine system cleansing using phytochemicals like indole-3 carbonyl (I3C), DIM, and calcium deglucrate to unlock blocked cell receptors. Incremental Lifestyle Changes: Replace chemical-laden products (scented items, nonstick cookware, plastic) with natural alternatives (vinegar, water, lemon oil, baking soda, borax, ecloths, wood utensils) incrementally to avoid overwhelm. Jared's Recommendations: Jared suggests a personal detox schedule of one-month liver detox twice a year (January/February and July/August), combined with a couple of months of endocrine detox, potentially increasing to three months on, three months off. He also recommends using aluminum-free baking soda for supplementation (Rumford brand). Industry Background: Jared's family business, Vitality Nutrition, started in 1977, highlighting his deep roots and long experience in the health and supplement industry.

Have you ever wondered if true health isn't about the latest health solution, but about getting back to what your body was designed to do? On this episode, I connected with Dr. Ryan Williamson, a neurologist, to discuss the link between brain and body health. We covered how lifestyle choices impact metabolic health, preventing chronic conditions. We also explored foundational habits like sleep, movement, and nutrition, and then dove into strategies like cold exposure and meditation to boost focus and control. Dr. Williamson emphasized personal empowerment through intentional daily design. Key takeaways Brain health and body transformation are interconnected, rather than separate issues. The majority of chronic diseases and neurodegenerative conditions like Alzheimer's are primarily influenced by lifestyle choices (90-99%) rather than genetics. Metabolic health is crucial, with factors like blood sugar, cholesterol, and body mass working together like a "symphony". Building and maintaining muscle mass is essential, as muscles are the largest reservoir for glucose, helping regulate blood sugar and lowering the risk of chronic disease and all-cause mortality. Many people are unaware of their true stress levels or how stuck they feel, with the brain often acting as a protective mechanism that can hinder personal growth. Establishing foundational habits (movement, sleep, nutrition, stress management, and hydration) is crucial before pursuing advanced performance hacks. Optimizing your circadian rhythm through morning sunlight and an intentional evening wind-down routine significantly enhances sleep quality, focus, and overall performance. Practices like cold exposure (in the morning) can boost sustained focus and alertness by releasing norepinephrine and dopamine. Meditation physically rewires the brain, increasing the thickness of the prefrontal cortex and enhancing control over the fear center (amygdala), leading to improved judgment and reduced reactivity.

Are you ready to unlock a leaner physique while still enjoying your favorite foods like pizza and tacos? What if I told you that less effort could lead to better fitness results?   In this episode, I chat with Alex, who shares his path from professional baseball player to hedge fund analyst and entrepreneur. He reveals how he maintains a lean physique year-round without counting calories or going hungry. Alex explains that food serves as a love language, not just fuel, and how he makes minor adjustments to popular foods like burgers and fried chicken to make them protein-dominant. We discuss why pursuing strength and speed is more effective than high-volume workouts, which leads to a quicker metabolism. Alex also highlights the value of morning workouts for building confidence and managing stress, and he introduces his "Triple Seven Club" principle covering finances, fitness, and sleep. He shares how he improved his sleep by reducing stimulants and incorporating daily movement. This conversation is about unconventional methods that simplify success in health and life.   Key Takeaways   • We discuss how food is more than just fuel; it's a love language with cultural significance, and viewing it only as fuel often means missing these deeper societal underpinnings   • I learned that training for strength and speed is more effective than high volume workouts focused on difficulty, as this approach increases your resting metabolic rate and helps you achieve better physique gains   • Alex encourages getting addicted to getting 1% better each week in workouts. This consistent, small improvement compounds significantly over time, leading to excellent shape in one to two years.   • We talk about the "Triple Seven Club": a philosophy centered on having seven figures liquid, being able to run a seven-minute mile, and sleeping seven hours per night. Achieving these three things typically leads to a very good mood and significantly improved quality of life     Resources   Follow Alex Feinberg on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/alexfeinberg1/   Nate Palmer: The founder of The Million Dollar Body and author of "The Million Dollar Body Method", Nate has been coaching for over 15 years and has worked personally with over 1,000 clients.

I think we've all been there, struggling with food rules.   In this episode, I talked with Anna Vocino about food trauma and unlearning outdated food rules. We discussed how beliefs about fat from the 1990s and carb demonization from the 2000s still shape how we eat. People were taught low-fat foods were virtuous, and fruit was bad.   We also covered the issue of “gamifying” diets to allow for treats, which can lead to poor health outcomes even if weight is lost. True health requires considering both food quality and quantity. I learned that sustained change comes from addressing emotional patterns and beliefs, rather than relying on fear or self-hatred. Exercise is a separate component for well-being, not a reward system for eating certain foods.   Key Takeaways:   Outdated food rules, like fearing fat or demonizing carbs and fruit, are often based on marketing. Seeing exercise as a way to “earn” food or applying an “if it fits your macros” approach can be a form of disordered eating. Using tools like blood work and continuous glucose monitors (CGM) can provide insight into your body’s unique responses to food.   Lasting health transformation stems from addressing underlying beliefs and cultivating self-love, not from fear or self-hatred.

Have you ever considered dry fasting for five days to regenerate your body, or using a pendulum to shift energy and reduce pain? I'm sharing some wild ideas today. I talked with Sean McCormick, host of the Optimal Performance podcast and a human guinea pig for health experiments. We discussed the kettlebell mile, a test of strength and endurance, and how grip strength predicts longevity. Sean shared insights on nicotine as a neuroprotectant and its effects. We explored the deep benefits of dry fasting, including muscle preservation and fat loss. Sean also described using a pendulum to harmonize energy and reduce pain. He shared his experiences with mini-dosing LSD for creativity and focus. I learned about the importance of N of one experiments for personal health journeys. Key takeaways Grip strength is an indicator of longevity, and tests like the kettlebell mile assess both strength and aerobic capacity. A dopamine detox protocol can help reset your body and mental clarity. Dry fasting for multiple days (without food or water) can regenerate the body on a cellular level, preserve muscle, and lead to significant fat loss, reaching deep ketosis and stem cell activation. Nicotine has potential benefits as a neuroprotectant, nootropic, and may offer anti-bacterial or anti-parasitic properties, but it can be addictive and is a vasoconstrictor. Oral TRT offers a different approach to testosterone replacement by providing mini-doses that may not hijack natural production. Herbal supplements, like dried ants, are used in traditional practices for physical strength. Pendulums made of magnetic metals can be used in energy medicine to harmonize energetic points, transmute negative energies, and potentially reduce pain. Microdosing or mini-dosing psychedelics like LSD or psilocybin can enhance creativity, focus, and offer anti-inflammatory effects, and can improve cognition. Conducting "N of one" experiments is a critical and fun way to learn about your own body's response to different health and fitness protocols.

If you want to get leaner and live longer, check out https://milliondollarbodylabs.com/   What if the way you’re training is actually setting you up for pain or burnout, even if it feels like you’re doing everything right?   In this episode, I sat down with Dr. John Rusin to talk about how to train for strength, stay pain-free, and avoid burnout. He shared how training trends have shifted over the years and why doing just one workout a week won’t move the needle.    We talked about why full-body workouts work best, how to approach mobility and recovery without wasting time, and why Olympic lifts and barbell back squats might not be right for everyone. John also shared how his new book brings together everything he’s learned over the past 20 years.   Key Takeaways:   Most programs today overemphasize strength and muscle but neglect athletic movement. Strength and hypertrophy aren’t enough, movement quality, mobility, and power matter too.

I’ve done that. And it’s not because I’m a goldfish — it’s because I was SCROLLING while I ate. In this solo episode, I’m diving into how your phone might be quietly wrecking your metabolism, your sleep, your workouts — and your ability to actually feel full. This isn’t a “throw your phone in the ocean” rant. It’s a real look at how screen time hijacks your brain and what you can do about it — from a guy who still sometimes watches jiu jitsu fails when he should be training.

He shared how he got into HRV tracking while on a sailing trip, and how it opened his eyes to how much stress and recovery affect our bodies.   We talked about what HRV really tells us, how wearables like Garmin, WHOOP, and Oura can help track it, and how small daily habits, like what you eat, how you sleep, or even when you work out, can change your HRV. Dr. Færø also told stories of real people who’ve used this data to catch serious health issues early, like cancer.   Key Takeaways:   It’s personal, track your own trends instead of comparing numbers with others. HVR It’s like having your own early warning system for stress and health. Garmin gives more detailed stress tracking, while Oura and WHOOP are great for sleep and tagging daily habits.   Resources:   Dr. Torkil Færø is a Norwegian medical doctor, emergency physician, and bestselling author of The Pulse Cure.

If you want to get leaner and live longer, check out https://milliondollarbodylabs.com/   What if your low energy, poor sleep, and lack of drive aren’t just signs of getting older… but signs that you’ve stopped taking care of yourself?   In this episode, I talked with Ali Gilbert, a coach who works with men on their health, hormones, and habits. We got into why so many men feel like they’ve lost their edge and why it’s not just about testosterone. It’s about stress, poor recovery, and not asking for help until things get worse.   We covered what really causes low sex drive, how stress and past experiences can affect performance, and why some men feel stuck trying to live up to an outdated idea of masculinity. Ali shared what she sees with men in their 40s, 50s, and 60s who’ve spent years focused on work and family, only to realize their health has taken a back seat. We also ran through common myths about testosterone and which methods actually help.   Key Takeaways:   Masculinity doesn’t mean hiding your emotions Low sex drive and energy are often signs of stress, not just low testosterone You can’t lead, protect, or provide at your best if your health is falling apart.    Resources:   Ali Gilbert is a men’s health expert known for helping men optimize their hormones, especially testosterone, through smart training, lifestyle strategies, and lab-based health insights.

You think you’re addicted to sugar… but it’s way deeper than that. In this episode, Nate Palmer exposes the real root of cravings: dopamine addiction. We’ll break down how modern life hijacks your brain’s reward system, why your ancient biology can’t handle 24/7 comfort, and how you can take back control without relying on willpower alone. From prehistoric dopamine cycles to the modern sugar scroll-swipe-snooze trap, this is your wake-up call. If you feel stuck, lazy, unmotivated, or constantly reaching for snacks—you don’t need more discipline. You need a dopamine reset.

We talked about how most people chase quick fixes like keto or 75 Hard, but never shift their identity. Andrés shared how he helps clients focus less on perfection and more on becoming the kind of person who lives healthy habits day after day.   We broke down why mindset matters more than macros, why confusion around food is often intentional, and how sustainable results come from building simple routines and aligning your actions with your long-term vision.   Key Takeaways:   People won’t act outside their identity—mindset comes first. Having a plan after “the plan” is key to sustainability. Athletes succeed with focus and a growth mindset, not just genetics.

You’ve been told to trust the experts. To eat more grains. To fear fat. But what if the very foundation of our nutrition guidelines was built not on science—but on religion, corporate funding, and government agendas? In this eye-opening solo episode, Nate Palmer breaks down the wild (and true) history behind the food pyramid. From enemas and yogurt colonics at Battle Creek Sanitarium, to Kellogg’s anti-sex cereal crusade, to the billions that Big Food and Big Ag poured into shaping what you eat today—this episode is a masterclass in how we got here… and how to escape it. If you’ve ever wondered why the standard American diet is so broken, this is your moment of clarity. What You’ll Learn: Why the food pyramid was never based on health—but on economics and politics The bizarre religious roots of our dietary guidelines (yes, cereal was invented to stop masturbation) How the USDA’s dual mission created a massive conflict of interest The real reason fat was demonized—and who profited most from it How corporate donations to organizations like the American Heart Association shaped public perception What you can do today to eat against the pyramid and reclaim your health  Resources & References: Procter & Gamble’s $1.7M donation to the American Heart Association McGovern Committee Dietary Goals (1977) Sugar Research Foundation’s funded studies to blame fat over sugar (1967) USDA Farm Subsidy Data (1995–2020, via EWG.org) Kellogg and Battle Creek Sanitarium archives Loma Linda University & Seventh-day Adventist dietary influence

We talked about how easy it is to get stuck in a “fat dad” identity and how to shift into a new version of yourself, one small step at a time.   Joel shared how he used 72-hour fasts to reset his body and mind, and how creating a “mind movie” he watches every morning helps him stay focused on the kind of life he wants to live. He even told a story about visualizing himself driving a sports car through the mountains… and how that exact moment actually happened in real life months later.   We also talked about why most guys don’t need more diet info, they need a reason to believe they can change, some wins under their belt, and people in their corner who won’t let them quit. If you’ve been feeling stuck or off-track, this episode will help you see what’s really possible.   Key Takeaways:   The subconscious mind doesn’t process negatives well, so it’s better to phrase things positively. Being consistent with your mindset practices builds resilience against setbacks. Negative labels from others can reinforce bad habits, so addressing or limiting those influences is important.

If you want to get leaner and live longer check out http://milliondollarbodylabs.com What if the “healthy balanced meals” you’ve been eating are actually slowing down your fat loss? In today’s episode of Get Leaner and Live Longer, Nate breaks down the biochemical trap of combining carbs and fats in the same meal — and why this combo might be the reason you're not seeing results. You’ll learn how to structure your meals for maximum fat-burning, steady energy, and simplified nutrition — without counting a single calorie. 💡 What You’ll Learn: Why mixing carbs and fats triggers fat storage The role of insulin and metabolic flexibility How to build meals that keep you full and lean The post-workout mistake that made Nate feel like trash A simple food timing tweak that helped one client drop 9 lbs in 3 weeks 🧪 Referenced Studies: Edgerton et al.

We talked about how to raise testosterone naturally, when TRT might be a good option, and why some men still don’t feel great even if their lab numbers look normal.   Patricia shared why cardio is key for overall health, especially if you're on testosterone. We also covered how medications like Clomid and Enclomiphene work, and why many regular doctors aren’t fully trained in hormone therapy.   We wrapped up with simple habits that can make a big difference, like walking more and slowing down with breathing or mindfulness. If you’ve been feeling off and want to get back to feeling like yourself, this episode is a great place to start.   Key Takeaways:    TRT Isn’t Always the First Step.   Most doctors aren’t trained in hormone therapy. Don’t assume your GP is an expert.   Hormone issues affect both partners. Couples should learn and work through it together.   Resources:    Patricia Zamora is a men’s health nurse practitioner who focuses on hormone optimization, testosterone therapy, and sexual wellness.

If you want to get leaner and live longer, check out https://milliondollarbodylabs.com/   What if simple habits like mouth breathing or drinking diet soda are quietly ruining your teeth?   In today’s episode, I sat down with Dr. Erin Sheffield, a dentist, to explore how things like mouth breathing, dry mouth, and diet sodas contribute to tooth decay. Dr. Sheffield shared how mouth taping can help protect your teeth at night by reducing the effects of mouth breathing, and we discussed why fluoride in toothpaste plays a key role in remineralizing enamel. We also touched on some natural alternatives like Hydroxyapatite toothpaste for those wary of fluoride.   Beyond just brushing and flossing, we talked about how making smart choices today can save you from expensive dental work down the line. Dr. Sheffield also emphasized the importance of preventive care, especially when it comes to making informed decisions about your oral health.   Key Takeaways:   Taking care of your teeth isn’t just about brushing twice a day.   Don’t base your dental care decisions solely on insurance coverage.    Diet sodas, even without sugar, are still very acidic and can erode enamel over time.   Resources:   Dr. Erin Sheffield is a dental expert who specializes in holistic oral health. With a focus on the connection between oral care and overall well-being, Dr. Sheffield provides practical advice on how habits like mouth breathing, diet, and fluoride use can impact your dental health. She offers insights into preventive care and alternative solutions for maintaining strong, healthy teeth.   https://elevatesummit.org/    @drerinsheffield (IG) https://www.instagram.com/drerinsheffield/  _________________________________________ Host Nate Palmer The founder of The Million Dollar Body and Author of "The Million Dollar Body Method", Nate has been in the industry of coaching over 15 years and has worked with over 1000 clients personally.
