ESPN personality and producer Anne-Marie Anderson joins us to unravel the intricate dance between fear and failure. Anne-Marie sheds light on how fear, often perceived as a daunting obstacle, can actually be a stepping stone to courage and growth. In this episode, we challenge the traditional notions of failure by reimagining it as valuable data, a tool for learning and evolving. Through personal anecdotes and stories of renowned athletes like Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant, she underscores how setbacks are not the end but merely redirections on the path to greatness.
"The concept of audacity is often misunderstood. It's not about recklessness; it's about cultivating the courage to take bold actions and prioritizing what truly matters over the urgency fallacy." - Anne-Marie Anderson
Our conversation takes a thoughtful look at how fear influences personal relationships and the importance of surrounding oneself with supportive, truth-telling individuals—the so-called "front row." Anne-Marie provides insights into nurturing audacity through bold risk-taking and the crucial role of trusted advisors in navigating personal and professional journeys. By exploring how to differentiate between fear-based thoughts and intuitive insights, we empower listeners to take actionable steps, even small ones, toward living audaciously. We also explore the deceptively simple concept of prioritizing important tasks over urgent ones, highlighting strategies for reclaiming time and energy. Anne-Marie shares her experiences of overcoming external challenges by taking personal responsibility, emphasizing growth and resilience.

Today we explore the fascinating world of fasting with Renee Fitton, MS, RD, a distinguished longevity dietitian. Renee takes us through the science of fasting, emphasizing that you can fast with food, and discusses its surprising benefits for sexual health and even optimizing testosterone levels. She shares her expertise in longevity nutrition, highlighting how understanding biochemical pathways and innovations in healthcare can extend our health span. Listen in as we address common myths about fasting and introduce the fasting-mimicking diet, showcasing how fasting can regulate blood sugar and improve metabolism, while also enhancing brain health, particularly in the context of Alzheimer's.
"Personalized fasting approaches are key, as not everyone should be fasting 16 hours a day, every single day. It’s about finding what works for your body and health goals." - Renee Fitton, MS, RD
As we navigate through various fasting methods, Renee explains the importance of personalized approaches, cautioning against rigid fasting schedules. She clarifies common questions about fasting, such as whether water and coffee break a fast, and discusses the concept of metabolic flexibility—how the body can switch between sugar and fat as fuel sources. With Renee's guidance, we uncover the roles of ketosis and autophagy in promoting health, and highlight the benefits of black coffee and green tea during fasting due to their rich compounds.
"Metabolic flexibility is crucial because it allows the body to switch between using sugar and fat as fuel sources, which can lead to better health outcomes." - Renee Fitton, MS, RD
Finally, we explore the nuances of safe and effective fasting methods, from intermittent fasting to prolonged fasts. Renee emphasizes the significance of choosing a fasting style that aligns with individual needs and health conditions, cautioning against unsafe practices like dry fasting. We discuss the potential of prolonged fasting to stimulate autophagy and enhance skin texture and mental clarity, while also considering the role of electrolytes in supporting fasting. Tune in to gain insights into the controversies surrounding intermittent fasting and hormone health, and discover how fasting-mimicking diets can be a viable alternative to traditional fasting approaches.
