In today's episode:
My interview with the CEO of a $3 billion corporation in 2020 served as the catalyst for creating this groundbreaking health platform. This leader of a multi-billion-dollar business found himself amidst a health crisis that nearly claimed his life. His response to a pivotal question compelled me to save the lives of people in other workplaces. If this industry titan couldn't answer my simple question about his health crisis, then his 4000 employees would likely face similar struggles. It meant their lives would remain under threat from a health catastrophe, like his had seemingly appeared out of nowhere. I couldn't stand idly by and let that happen. So, I combined my 40 year education career with the medical research from over 100 expert PhD's from across the globe to create the first-ever 'Workplace Perfect Health Lesson'.

In today's episode:
Raising your CRF score, which reflects your body's ability to utilize oxygen during exercise, triggers several molecular and physiological adaptations that contribute to the formation of new blood vessels (angiogenesis) and the remodeling of existing arteries (arteriogenesis). Here's how these processes occur and contribute to lowering your clinical risk of cardiovascular disease:
Increased Oxygen Demand: When you engage in physical activity, your muscles require more oxygen to meet the increased energy demands. This elevated oxygen demand stimulates the release of signaling molecules such as vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and nitric oxide (NO) within the vascular endothelium. Stimulation of Angiogenesis: VEGF is a key factor in promoting the growth of new blood vessels (angiogenesis) from pre-existing ones. This process helps to expand the network of blood vessels, improving oxygen delivery to tissues and organs. Enhanced angiogenesis ensures adequate blood supply to active tissues, reducing the risk of ischemia and promoting tissue repair and regeneration. Promotion of Arteriogenesis: Nitric oxide (NO), produced by endothelial cells in response to increased blood flow and shear stress, plays a crucial role in arteriogenesis.More inside the episode...

In today's episode:
Platelets, also known as thrombocytes, are small cell fragments in the blood that play a crucial role in the body's ability to stop bleeding and form blood clots. When there is an injury or damage to blood vessels, platelets become activated and adhere to the site of injury, where they release various substances to initiate the blood clotting process. This is a normal and essential part of the body's response to injury, preventing excessive bleeding.
However, when platelets become overactivated, it can lead to problems, especially in the context of cardiovascular diseases (CVD).
Platelet stickiness refers to the tendency of platelets, small blood cells, to adhere to each other or to the walls of blood vessels upon activation. Normally, platelets circulate in the blood in an inactive state. However, when there's injury or damage to blood vessels, platelets become activated, changing shape and releasing chemical signals that prompt them to stick together (aggregate) and adhere to the damaged vessel walls.
This adhesive property of platelets is crucial in the process of hemostasis, which is the body's mechanism to prevent excessive bleeding. When blood vessels are injured, platelets adhere to the site of injury, forming a plug to seal the damaged area. This initial platelet aggregation is followed by the coagulation cascade, involving the formation of a blood clot to further stem the bleeding.
There are 7 new secrets you will learn about reducing platelet stickiness in this lesson.
While platelet stickiness is essential for preventing excessive bleeding, abnormal or excessive platelet aggregation and adhesion can lead to issues like thrombosis, where blood clots form within blood vessels without an injury or obstruction, potentially causing blockages and leading to conditions such as heart attacks or strokes. Therefore, the regulation of platelet stickiness is crucial for maintaining proper hemostasis and preventing abnormal clotting.

In today's episode:
Increasing insulin uptake refers to the process by which cells in the body become more responsive and efficient at taking up and utilizing insulin. Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas that plays a crucial role in regulating blood sugar levels.
When cells become resistant to insulin or when insulin production is insufficient, it can lead to elevated blood sugar levels, a condition known as insulin resistance or diabetes. Increasing insulin uptake is beneficial in managing blood sugar levels and improving overall metabolic health.

In today's episode:
Inflammation, from a cardiologist's viewpoint, refers to the body's complex biological response to harmful stimuli, such as pathogens, damaged cells, or irritants, aimed at removing the cause of cell injury, clearing out necrotic cells and tissues damaged from the initial insult, and initiating tissue repair. In the context of cardiology, inflammation often plays a pivotal role in the development and progression of various cardiovascular diseases.
Chronic inflammation, particularly in blood vessels, is implicated in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis, where the arterial walls become inflamed due to the buildup of fatty deposits and immune cell infiltration. This inflammatory response contributes to the formation of plaques that narrow the arteries, leading to reduced blood flow and potentially causing heart attacks or strokes.
Inflammatory markers like C-reactive protein (CRP) and interleukins are often monitored in cardiovascular assessments to gauge the presence and severity of inflammation, aiding in risk assessment and treatment strategies for cardiovascular diseases. Managing inflammation is increasingly recognized as an important aspect of preventing and treating heart conditions, emphasizing lifestyle modifications, medications, and targeted therapies to mitigate its detrimental effects on the heart and blood vessels.

In today's episode:
Sometimes we just need a lesson in 'Self Leadership': Celebrity guest: Australian Cricket Legend Justin Langer.
Justin sat down with me and talked about 'success with the Australian Cricket team. He is an example of what we can learn from others and apply it to our health status.
Born in Perth, Western Australia, Langer excelled at cricket from an early age, representing Western Australia at under-age level, as well as the Australia under-19 team. He also won a scholarship to the Australian Cricket Academy at the Australian Institute of Sport in 1990. Langer made his first-class debut for Western Australia during the 1991–92 Sheffield Shield, and, after good form at state level, made his Test debut for Australia the following season at the age of 22, during the West Indies' 1992–93 tour. Although maintaining his place in the side, he struggled for form, and only made sporadic appearances for Australia until his selection for Australia's 1998–99 tour of Pakistan, in which he scored his first Test century. Establishing himself at number three in the batting order, Langer maintained this role until the 2001 Ashes series. Having been injured for the first four Tests, he replaced Michael Slater as Matthew Hayden's opening partner for the final Test, and scored a century in Australia's innings win. This was the first of three centuries in consecutive matches that secured Langer's position at the top of the order.
Except for injuries, the partnership between Hayden and Langer (with Ricky Ponting moving to Langer's previous position at number three) persisted until Langer's retirement at the conclusion of the 2006–07 Ashes series. Their partnership included a total of 5,655 runs over a period of 113 innings, second only to the partnership between West Indians Gordon Greenidge and Desmond Haynes. Langer's retirement came after several injuries had restricted his batting, including a concussion sustained during Australia's 2005–06 tour of South Africa.

In today's episode:
Improving your CRF Score leads to anti-atherosclerosis.
Atherosclerosis is a progressive and chronic vascular disease characterized by the gradual buildup of plaques within the arteries. These plaques are composed of cholesterol, fatty substances, cellular waste, calcium, and other materials, forming thickened and hardened areas along the arterial walls.
The process begins with damage or injury to the inner lining of the arteries, known as the endothelium. Factors such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol levels, smoking, diabetes, and inflammation can contribute to this endothelial damage. Subsequently, circulating cholesterol particles, particularly low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, can infiltrate the damaged areas of the arterial walls.
As LDL cholesterol accumulates within the damaged regions, it undergoes modifications and becomes oxidized, triggering an inflammatory response. This inflammation attracts immune cells, primarily macrophages, which engulf the oxidized LDL cholesterol, forming foam cells within the arterial walls. Over time, this process leads to the formation of plaques, comprised of fatty deposits, cellular debris, and calcium, causing the arteries to narrow and stiffen.
Atherosclerosis progression can lead to various cardiovascular complications, including coronary artery disease, peripheral artery disease, carotid artery disease, and an increased risk of heart attack or stroke.
If you do not raise your CRF Score then you will accelerate this dangerous disease.

In today's episode:
As an educator, I've noticed that regardless of what country my students come from, the health and physical education syllabus is universal. Although it's mandatory for teachers to follow a specific course, students leave school without having a clear understanding of what it means to be physically healthy. After almost forty years of teaching these subjects, I've encountered every single student struggle to articulate the criteria for medical health. When asked the question, "How do you know when you are medically healthy?" Their responses are often varied and inconclusive.
Let's fix that right now

In today's episode:
More than seven million individuals all over the world have tried our Health Calculator. American health authorities recommend our calculator over other non-exercise models to estimate how healthy you really are.
In 2007 and 2008, several thousand Norwegians tested their CRF Score on a treadmill in The HUNT Fitness Study. They also answered several questions and had a complete health check-up as part of the third HUNT study (HUNT3).
Therefore, we could establish the most important factors for health among healthy women and men. These factors – namely age, waist circumference or body mass index (BMI), leisure-time physical activity and resting heart rate – are those included in the algorithm that constitutes our Health Calculator.

In today's episode:
From the article in the magazine called 'The New Scientist.'
I’M WELL, thank you. Or at least I think I am. I have no major illness to speak of, I am of average weight and a recent knee scan showed my joints are sufficiently well oiled. My blood pressure is spot on and I exercise fairly regularly – at least, some of the time. Then again, I have a cough I can’t shake. I don’t feel physically strong. And since I am turning 40, I should really get a mammogram, given my family history of breast cancer.
So, am I healthy? With my “big birthday” looming, I have increasingly found myself wondering about that – about what it is to be healthy and how we can best measure whether we are or not. I had assumed there would be some well-established way to find out. But when I began to investigate, I soon discovered that it is a surprisingly hard question to answer.
From Shane, the host of our podcast.
I totally disagree with almost every word of this article. The journalist is off track. Find out why, and what I know is 'on track' when it comes to your physical health status. Then learn about one brand new medical biometric that will guarantee you become classified as medically healthy in the next 90 days.

In today's episode:
A TIA, or transient ischemic attack, is sometimes referred to as a "mini-stroke" or a "warning stroke." It is a medical condition that shares some similarities with a stroke but has one key difference: the symptoms of a TIA are temporary and typically last for a short period of time, usually less than 24 hours. This is because in a TIA, there is a temporary disruption of blood flow to a part of the brain, which results in stroke-like symptoms, but there is no long-lasting damage to the brain tissue.

New Weight-Loss Drug Mimics Exercise to Burn Fat?
What? Can this be real?
Imagine if you could get all the benefits of exercise by just popping a pill? It might sound like science fiction, but researchers in Florida may have engineered just that.
The new drug, so far tested on mice, leads to controlled weight loss by convincing the body's muscles that they are exercising more than they actually are, providing an exciting alternative to weight loss drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy.
"Drugs like Ozempic and Mounjaro act primarily by limiting hunger (reduced food intake), whereas this class of drug increases the metabolic activity of muscle, mimicking the effects of exercise without affecting food intake," Thomas Burris, a professor who has led the research into the drug at the University of Florida, told Newsweek. "This drug increases resting energy expenditure, which is also observed when an individual exercises. The physiological changes in the muscle are also similar to what is observed under conditions of repeated aerobic exercise."
