My MRI Results + What I’m Doing About It

I got my MRI results back this week. Grade 4 cartilage loss in my knee. Bursitis and biceps tendon inflammation in my shoulder. Fluid in both joints. My doctor handed me a prescription for meloxicam and sent me on my way.

I’m not taking it. Here’s what I’m doing instead — and why it’s backed by better science than most people realize.

▶️ THIS WEEK ON THE PODCAST

🎙️ I Got My MRI Results — Here’s the Natural Stack I’m Using Instead of Painkillers

If you’ve been told to “just manage it” or handed an NSAID prescription for joint pain — this episode is for you. I break down my actual MRI findings in plain English, explain why the standard medical response falls short, and walk through the exact two-product natural protocol I’m running instead.

In this episode:

  • What Grade 4 chondromalacia actually means — and why your MRI can look scary but feel fine

  • The problem with long-term NSAID use for joint inflammation (and what Ray Peat got right about aspirin)

  • My exact supplement stack — two products, one capsule a day, and why I chose Pure Encapsulations over every other brand I researched

  • The golf follow-through connection — why my shoulder hurts on the trail side and what the anatomy actually tells us

  • Daily Body blade shoulder routine, swing modifications, and the pre-bed recovery sequence I’m using every night

  • Upper body training modifications that keep you in the gym without setting the joint back

🔬 THE SCIENCE BEHIND THE STACK — 3-min read

Here’s what I’m taking and why each ingredient maps directly to my MRI findings:

1️⃣ Carnivore Aurelius Grass-Fed Brazilian Collagen

Taken on an empty stomach before movement. Research from Keith Baar’s lab at UC Davis shows collagen peptides taken before exercise dramatically increases collagen synthesis in tendons and cartilage. The raw material your body needs to rebuild — glycine and proline — delivered at exactly the right time.

2️⃣ Pure Encapsulations Joint Complex — 1 capsule daily

Five ingredients in one clean NSF-certified formula:

  • UC-II Undenatured Type II Collagen (40mg) — shown in RCTs to be 2x more effective than 1,500mg glucosamine + 1,200mg chondroitin for joint health

  • Meriva Curcumin Phytosome (100mg) — COX-2 inhibition (same pathway as meloxicam) with superior phytosome absorption

  • 5-LOXIN Boswellia standardized to 30% AKBA — highest potency boswellia form, hits the 5-LOX pathway meloxicam misses entirely

  • Hyaluronic Acid (70mg) — lubricates synovial fluid, directly addresses joint effusion

  • MSM (400mg) — organic sulfur for cartilage matrix integrity

💡 Why not fish oil? From a Ray Peat bioenergetic perspective, PUFAs including omega-3s are prone to lipid peroxidation and may suppress thyroid function. Curcumin and boswellia give you better anti-inflammatory coverage without the PUFA tradeoff.

⚡ QUICK HITS — What I’m doing this week

🏌️ Taking 4–5 days off hitting balls before Florida. The shoulder needs a clean window for the supplements to start working. Coming back with intentional half swings and a shortened follow-through.

🦵 Knee prep before every leg day: heat, leg swings, wall sits (isometric loading has an analgesic effect for up to 45 min post-exercise), glute bridges, clamshells, bodyweight squat test set.

💊 Uncoated aspirin as a bridge. While waiting for Pure Encapsulations to arrive — 325mg with food once daily. Clean, bioenergetically aligned, and directionally helpful for both joints.

🏋️ Upper body training continues — intelligently. Cable rows, neutral grip pressing, face pulls, rear delt work, tricep pushdowns. No barbell bench, no upright rows, no dips until the bursitis settles.

📊 THE RECOVERY TIMELINE — Where I am and where I’m going

The honest roadmap for guys over 40 with active joint inflammation:

The 3 Mistakes Keeping Men Over 40 From Getting Back in Shape💪

If you’re a guy over 40 who’s tried to get back in shape and it just hasn’t worked—it’s probably not your effort that’s the problem. It’s your approach. Your body after 40 is not the same body you had in your 20s and 30s: hormones have shifted, testosterone is lower, cortisol is higher, recovery takes longer, and your stress load is probably at an all-time high.

🎬 WATCH THE FULL VIDEO: https://youtu.be/ikJYD_bJ0iI

📊 THE NUMBERS
───────────────────────────

😴 5-6 hrs → Sleep most men get (not enough)
🔥 2-3 wks → When most quit from burnout
🥩 0.7-1g → Protein per lb you need daily

Here’s the reality: your testosterone is produced during sleep, growth hormone peaks during sleep, and your body literally repairs itself while you’re asleep. If you’re getting 5-6 hours a night, you are actively working against your own hormones—no matter how hard you train or how clean you eat.

Personally, I use an Oura ring (no affiliation) to analyze my sleep quality. Seeing the hard data on my deep sleep, HRV, and recovery has been a game-changer for understanding what actually moves the needle.
───────────────────────────

Avoid these 3 mistakes:

❌ 1. Doing too much, too fast — Build one habit first. Start with 3 focused strength sessions per week.

❌ 2. Ignoring sleep and recovery — Aim for 7-9 hours. Cut off eating by 7pm. Dim lights after 8pm.

❌ 3. Making cardio the centerpiece — Make strength training your foundation. Cardio is a supplement, not the main event.

⚡ Bonus mistake: not eating enough protein. Most men over 40 are severely undereating protein. Target 0.7-1g per pound of body weight daily. Track for a few days and you might be surprised! Focus on pasture-raised eggs, red meat, wild fish, and Greek yogurt.

───────────────────────────
💬 “Getting back in shape after 40 is absolutely possible—but it requires a smarter approach, not just a harder one.”
───────────────────────────

✅ The bottom line: Less volume, more recovery, more protein, and protecting your sleep like it’s your job.

To a healthier you,

5 Exercises You’ll Regret Ignoring in 10 Years 🚨

Most people don’t realize they’re losing strength and mobility until one simple movement becomes a struggle. Bending down to pick up your keys. Getting off the floor after playing with your grandkids. These aren’t dramatic injuries — they’re the quiet accumulation of years of neglected movement patterns.

The good news? It’s not too late. 

Here are five underrated exercises that protect your balance, joint health, posture, and long-term mobility — no gym or equipment required. 💪

1. THE DEEP SQUAT HOLD 🧘

Why it matters: Research in the European Journal of Preventive Cardiology found that the ability to sit and rise from the floor without using your hands is strongly correlated with all-cause mortality. The deep squat maintains hip mobility, ankle flexibility, and functional independence.

💡 Pro tip: Most people lack the ankle dorsiflexion to get into a deep squat. Before practicing, foam roll your calves for 60 seconds per side, then stretch them on a step with your heel hanging off. This unlocks the ankle mobility you need.

2. SINGLE-LEG BALANCE 🦩

Why it matters: A study in the British Journal of Sports Medicine found that inability to stand on one leg for 10 seconds in middle age was associated with nearly double the risk of death from any cause within the next decade. Balance is a use-it-or-lose-it skill.

💡 Pro tip: Stand on one leg while brushing your teeth — that’s 4 minutes of balance training daily, built into something you already do. Progress by closing your eyes or standing on a pillow.

3. THE DEAD HANG 🙌

Why it matters: A comprehensive study in The Lancet found that grip strength was a stronger predictor of cardiovascular death than systolic blood pressure. The dead hang decompresses your spine, opens your shoulders, and builds grip strength — restoring a movement pattern humans evolved for.

💡 Pro tip: Work toward accumulating 60 seconds total per day. Break it up however works for you — six sets of 10 seconds is a great starting point.

4. THE GLUTE BRIDGE 🍑

Why it matters: Years of sitting cause “gluteal amnesia” — your brain literally forgets how to fire your glutes. Your lower back picks up the slack, leading to chronic pain. The glute bridge reactivates the largest muscle group in your body.

💡 Pro tip: Squeeze your glutes BEFORE you lift — this is the key most people miss. If you feel it in your lower back or hamstrings, reset and focus on the glute squeeze first. **Using a band above your knees helps to activate the glutes while doing the bridges.

5. THORACIC SPINE ROTATION 🔄

Why it matters: When your thoracic spine locks up from desk work, your body steals rotation from your lower back, shoulders, and neck — areas not designed to rotate much. This leads to pain and dysfunction in all three.

💡 Pro tip: Use the open book stretch correctly: lie on your side with your bottom leg straight and your top knee bent at 90 degrees, resting on a yoga block or pillow. This locks your lumbar spine in place so the rotation has to come from your mid-back. Keep that top knee glued to the block as you rotate.

⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

None of these exercises require a gym or equipment. What they require is consistency — and the wisdom to invest in your future self while you still can. The mobility you lose in your 40s and 50s doesn’t disappear overnight. It erodes one skipped movement at a time.

The best time to start was 10 years ago. The second best time is today. ⏰

 

🎬 WATCH THE FULL BREAKDOWN

I go deeper on each of these exercises — including exactly how to perform them and the most common mistakes I see — in my latest video. If you want to move pain-free as you age, this one’s worth 12 minutes of your time.

Have a great day!

💪 Build Muscle Without Stepping Foot in a Gym

THE BOTTOM LINE

🏋️ You don’t need a gym membership, fancy equipment, or even weights to build real muscle. Your body is the only machine you need — and it’s been with you the whole time.

🎥 I break down exactly how to do it in my latest video — [watch it here].

THE 5-MOVE HOME WORKOUT

🏠 Push-Ups — Chest, shoulders, triceps. Start on a wall or counter if needed.

🪽 Reverse Snow Angels — Upper back and posture repair for desk workers.

🧱 Wall Sits — Quad-torching isometrics. Deceptively brutal.

⬆️ Pike Push-Ups — Shoulder builders that require zero equipment.

🧘 Planks — Core stability that powers everything else.

BONUS: Cat-cow stretches to keep your spine moving like it should.

WHY IT MATTERS

Your muscles don’t know the difference between a dumbbell and your own bodyweight. They only understand tension. Apply it consistently, progressively make it harder, and your body adapts.

No commute. No waiting for equipment. No excuses.

WHAT TO DO

3 days per week. 3 sets each. 8-15 reps (or 30-60 second holds). That’s the whole program!

👉 [WATCH THE FULL BREAKDOWN HERE] — I walk you through every exercise with beginner variations so you can start today, wherever you’re at.

Consistency beats complexity. Every single time. The best workout isn’t the perfect one — it’s the one you actually do.

🎯 Hit play. Pick one move. Start before the day gets away from you.

Your future self is counting on it.

💪 Stay strong,

What 36 Hours Without Food Does to Your Body

🍽️ You’ve heard fasting is good for you. But what’s actually happening inside when you skip meals for a day and a half?

Turns out, quite a lot.

The breakdown: During a 36-hour fast, your body moves through distinct metabolic phases — from burning through stored glucose to flipping the switch to fat-burning mode. By hour 24, growth hormone surges up to 1,300% (even higher in men), protecting muscle while you torch fat. By hour 36, autophagy — your cells’ built-in cleanup crew — hits peak activity, recycling damaged proteins and clearing out cellular junk.

The catch: Fasting is catabolic. It’s a powerful tool — not a daily habit. Overdo it and you risk muscle loss, metabolic adaptation, and a wrecked relationship with food.

Why it matters: For busy professionals over 40, strategic fasting offers a reset button most diets can’t match — improved insulin sensitivity, reduced inflammation, and a renewed appreciation for the food on your plate.

🔬 RESEARCH CORNER

Growth Hormone + Fasting New research from Frontiers in Endocrinology confirms 24-hour fasting increases HGH independent of weight loss — with some participants seeing a 1,225% spike. The effect was most pronounced in those with lower baseline levels.

Autophagy Timeline Cleveland Clinic researchers note autophagy begins between 24-48 hours of fasting, with animal studies showing a ~300% increase in autophagy markers at the 36-hour mark.

💡 QUICK TIP

Breaking a 36-hour fast? Start small. Bone broth, cooked vegetables, or scrambled eggs let your digestive system wake up before a full meal. Skip the processed stuff — your insulin sensitivity is primed, and a sugar bomb will undo half the work.

What Your Doctor Isn’t Testing

Why Your Genes Hold the Key to Finally Feeling Better

You’ve tried the diets. The supplements. The protocols. Yet something still feels… off.

Dr. Sam Shay spent years in that exact place—chronically unwell from age 6 to 18 with severe fatigue, anxiety, digestive problems, and insomnia. His transformation didn’t come from finding the “right” diet. It came from understanding that health isn’t one-size-fits-all.

In my latest conversation with Dr. Shay, a functional medicine expert and Institute for Functional Medicine Certified Practitioner (IFMCP) with over 20 years of experience, we dig into why so many people struggle despite doing “everything right”—and what’s actually missing from the equation.

What we covered:

  • 🧬 How genetic testing can reveal your ideal carb tolerance, vitamin absorption, and inflammation triggers

  • 🔄 Why the conventional “reactive” healthcare model keeps people stuck in survival mode

  • 🔬 The specific functional tests that expose what’s really happening inside your body

  • ⚡ Dr. Shay’s unique approach combining western functional medicine with natural medicine principles

This one’s especially relevant if you’re over 40, feeling stuck despite your best efforts, or wondering why protocols that work for others don’t work for you.

💬 QUOTABLE

“People who struggled for years and years, after trying protocols, products, practitioners—they get marginal, temporary, or unpredictable results. Because if you sit on seven tacks and you remove three, technically you’re healthier, but you don’t feel any better.”

— Dr. Sam Shay, DC, IFMCP

🔑 WHY THIS MATTERS FOR YOU

If you’re a busy professional over 40 trying to build muscle, gain energy, and lose inches around your waist, understanding your unique biochemistry isn’t optional—it’s essential.

Dr. Shay’s approach aligns with what I’ve seen work for nearly two decades: sustainable results come from understanding YOUR body, not following generic advice.

The conversation goes deep on practical strategies you can actually use.

Have a great day!

Your T-Spine is Costing You 20+ Yards Off the Tee

If you’re sitting at a desk all day, driving, or constantly looking at your phone, your thoracic spine is probably locked up tighter than Fort Knox. Here’s what most people don’t realize: when your T-spine doesn’t move, your lower back and shoulders are forced to compensate. That’s why your back hurts after 9 holes. That’s why reaching for the top shelf feels risky.

THE NUMBERS

45-50°

Pro golfer T-spine rotation

20-25°

Average weekend golfer

12

Thoracic vertebrae to mobilize

 

That’s literally half the rotation. No wonder you’re coming over the top and slicing it into the woods. But it’s not just golf—reaching across your body, looking over your shoulder to back out of a parking spot, even putting on a jacket. When you don’t have T-spine mobility: shoulder impingement, neck pain, lower back issues. It’s all connected.

Watch the Full Video to Learn These Exercises

 3 exercises to unlock your thoracic spine:

1. Quadruped T-Spine Rotations — 10 reps each side, hold last rep for 10 seconds

2. Wall Angels (Done Right) — 3 sets of 15 reps, focus on pulling shoulder blades down and back

3. Thoracic Extension on Foam Roller — 3-5 extensions at each vertebral level

Good news: you don’t need a chiropractor three times a week. Do these exercises consistently for 30 days and you’ll feel like a different person. Your golf buddies will be asking what you’ve been doing different.

“Mobility work isn’t sexy. But you know what else isn’t sexy? Throwing out your back reaching for your coffee mug.”

 

Have a great day!

The Hidden Detox Power Your Body’s Been Missing

THE LEAD

Brain fog, fatigue, and sleep issues plaguing millions of adults may have a silent culprit: heavy metal toxicity from everyday environmental exposure. In this week’s must-watch interview with Touchstone Essentials CEO Eddie Stone, we uncover how zeolites—a naturally occurring mineral with a 2,000-year history—could be the missing piece in your wellness routine.

THE SCIENCE

What Makes Zeolites Special

Zeolites form when volcanic ash meets salt or lake water, creating a mineral with a Swiss cheese-like structure under microscopic examination. These channels carry a negative charge that attracts positively charged heavy metals like lead and mercury, trapping them for safe removal from the body within 4-6 hours through normal elimination.

The Baby Boomer Lead Crisis

Baby boomers and Gen X face particularly high lead exposure from the era of leaded gasoline in the 1960s and 1970s. Beyond IQ impacts, lead affects executive function and decision-making while contributing to later-life dementia and cardiovascular issues.

BY THE NUMBERS

  • 100,000+ man-made chemicals in our environment affecting health

  • 4-6 hours: Time for zeolites to exit the body naturally

  • 10 days: When users typically report improved sleep

  • Millions of bottles sold by Touchstone Essentials since 2012

  • 60,000+ five-star reviews for their zeolite products

THE BREAKTHROUGH MOMENT

Eddie’s awakening came when his mother faced mysterious health issues in the late 1980s that stumped traditional medicine. After years of searching, testing revealed an autoimmune response to breast implants, treated successfully with IV chelation therapy. This experience launched his 20+ year mission to help families address environmental toxin exposure safely.

PRACTICAL APPLICATION

The Zeolite Protocol

Getting Started:

  • Pure Body Extra (nano-sized spray): Targets cellular detox with 3-4 sprays daily

  • Pure Body (gut-sized): Supports digestive health and pH balance

  • Add organic greens powder for comprehensive support

What Users Report:

  • Better sleep quality within 10 days

  • Reduced brain fog and improved mental clarity

  • Increased energy levels

  • Decreased need for antacids

THE CONTROVERSY

Cleanse vs. Detox: Know the Difference

Cleanses provide temporary results through dehydration and bowel clearing, while true detox supports the body’s natural systems to remove heavy metals and environmental pollutants at the cellular level. Unlike harsh cleanses that send you running to the bathroom, zeolites work gently without disrupting daily life.

HIDDEN EXPOSURES

You’re Getting Hit From All Sides:

  • Golf courses and agricultural areas (pesticides/fertilizers)

  • Non-stick cookware (PFAS “forever chemicals”)

  • Old homes (lead paint and pipes)

  • Flame retardants (furniture, airplanes)

  • Dry cleaning chemicals, carpeting, and 100,000+ other man-made compounds

THE EXPERT’S ADVICE

Eddie Stone’s key to success: “Be really clear about the outcome you want… How important is it to you? If you’re not an 8+ out of 10 committed, you won’t follow through.”

His protocol shifts:

  • Now pro-creatine (10+ grams daily for brain health)

  • Increased protein intake for aging adults (1.6-1.8g per pound vs. previous 0.6-0.8g)

  • Focus on muscle mass accumulation in your 60s, not just mobility

WATCH NOW

Don’t miss this game-changing conversation about environmental toxins, cellular detox, and reclaiming your energy. Eddie Stone brings 20+ years of industry insider knowledge, revealing why 99% of supplements are “assembled” (not made) in the USA from questionable overseas ingredients.

Special listener discount available – check the show notes for exclusive savings on your first Touchstone Essentials order.

THE BOTTOM LINE: You can’t avoid environmental toxins, but you can support your body’s ability to eliminate them. This interview reveals a science-backed, time-tested solution that thousands are using to combat the hidden burden of modern living.

Have a great day!

Brian

The Shocking Truth About Leg Day (This Changes Everything) 🦵

Hope everyone had a great new year!! We did nothing and I was in bed by 10PM 🙂 Figured I would start the new year talking about the importance of leg days! My favorite workout! If you rather watch my video: Click here

THE LEG DAY LIE 🚨

Think skipping legs only affects your squat numbers? Dead wrong. New evidence shows it’s sabotaging your entire physique – including your precious upper body gains.

THE SCIENCE NOBODY TALKS ABOUT 🧪

Your legs contain 50% of your body’s muscle mass. When you ignore half your muscle, you’re not just missing out on leg gains – you’re shutting down the most powerful metabolic and hormonal engine in your body.

The result? Your bench press stalls. Your arms won’t grow. Your metabolism tanks.

THE DOMINO EFFECT 📊

  • Testosterone Suppression 📉: Heavy leg training triggers 3x more growth hormone and testosterone release than any upper body workout – skip legs, lose this anabolic boost system-wide

  • Metabolic Shutdown 🔥: Your quads and glutes are metabolic furnaces. Ignore them? Watch your body fat creep up while muscle gains disappear

  • The Johnny Bravo Curse 💪: That top-heavy look isn’t just aesthetically unbalanced – it signals hormonal dysfunction that caps all muscle growth

THE SURVIVAL CONNECTION 🧬

Here’s the kicker: Your body views leg strength as a survival marker. When you skip legs, ancient programming interprets this as “injury” or “weakness,” triggering a protective response that limits ALL muscle growth.

Your body literally won’t let you get bigger because it thinks you can’t support the weight.

THE 72-HOUR WINDOW ⏰

Every leg workout creates a 72-hour anabolic window where your ENTIRE body becomes primed for growth. Skip leg day? You’re leaving gains on the table every single week.

THE BRUTAL TRUTH 💡

Guys who train legs twice a week build 40% more upper body muscle than those who don’t. This isn’t about symmetry – it’s about survival mechanisms that control everything.

Have great day and happy healthy new year!

The 1958 Study That Reversed Diabetic Blindness 👁️(Video)

In partnership with

Hey everyone,

What would you say if I told you a doctor in 1958 was reversing diabetic blindness…

With a diet of white rice and table sugar?

You’d probably think I was crazy.

I wrote about this study a few weeks ago but recently did a cool video regarding it that I wanted to share with you! See below…

The Study They Buried 📚

Here are a few highlights regarding Walter Kempner’s revolutionary 1958 study that documented something “impossible”:

→ 30% of blind diabetics regained their sight

→ Patients discontinued insulin completely

→ The diet was 93% carbohydrates

→ It included WHITE rice and TABLE SUGAR

The medical establishment’s response?

They accused him of falsifying data. 🤦‍♂️

It took 50 years for his work to even get “belated notice.”

The Mind-Blowing Protocol 🍚

Here’s what these diabetics actually ate:

  • White rice at every meal

  • Fresh and dried fruits

  • Fruit juices

  • Table sugar (for extra calories)

  • Less than 20g protein per day

  • Only 2-3% fat

That’s right – virtually ZERO fat.

Patients couldn’t even maintain weight when Kempner added MORE sugar.

The absence of fat made overeating physically impossible.

Why This Matters NOW 💊

Today we have:

  • 50+ diabetes drugs

  • Surgeries costing $100,000+

  • “Advanced” medical technology

Yet diabetes is still considered “progressive and incurable.”

Kempner reversed it with rice and fruit.

In 1958.

With photographic proof. 📸

The Pattern Nobody Sees 🔍

After diving deep into this research, I found something disturbing:

Every successful pre-insulin diabetes treatment had the same formula:

  • Ultra-low fat (under 10%)

  • High carbohydrate (80-95%)

  • No animal protein (I don’t necessarily agree with this but this was the study)

Kempner treated 18,000 patients over 75 years. This wasn’t a small study – it was the largest dietary intervention in history.

Watch The Full Breakdown 🎥

In the video, I show:

  • The actual retinal photographs (before/after)

  • Why 2-3% fat was the key

  • How this connects to modern research

  • The other diseases that reversed (kidney, heart)

  • Why medicine “forgot” this discovery

The Bottom Line

We’ve known how to reverse diabetes since 1958.

Not manage it. Not control it.

REVERSE it.

With food so simple, you could buy it anywhere.

But there’s no money in rice and fruit. 💰

Watch the video and let me know… how does it make you feel knowing this information has been available for 66 years?

Question everything,

Brian

P.S. – The craziest part? When Kempner died in 1997, he left $7 million to Duke Medical School. They STILL don’t teach his protocol. Next week: Why doctors in the 1920s were feeding diabetics pure glucose (and it worked).
