Intermittent Fasting, Part 3: Go Eat Yourself

Rocky Balboa learned a tough lesson in Rocky III: sometimes destruction is needed for future growth. Nobody wants to go through the devastation, so why not always just grow? If we limit that destruction to the detritus, then the new room created by cleaning out the garbage lets us build back … [Read more...]

BioJacked #4: Yes That Mark Bell

We invited Mark "Smelly" Bell (yes, that Mark Bell) to the studio to shoot the proverbial shit, and he surprised us by getting Jesse Burdick to tag along. However, Bell and Burdick weren't able to make it until about 45 minutes into the show, so Kiefer introduced Alex Navarro (Ms. Natural Fitness … [Read more...]

Women’s Self-Image: Photoshop Be Damned

I’m an avid supporter of women’s health initiatives. It makes sense: many of my dearest friends, the people I love and adore are women and I want them to enjoy happiness, vivacity and a long active life (that’s one reason I’m trying to kill running).

Intermittent Fasting: Part 2, The Fight’s Over

I like the idea of Intermittent Fasting, I’m just not keen on the results.
