The Ant-Viral Gut: Robynne Chutkan, MD On Optimizing Immunity & Preventing Disease From The Inside Out
Multiple studies now confirm a dramatic link between the health of our microbiome and our ability to combat viral illness. Today we explore this connection, with tools to promote gut health, optimize your immune system & prevent disease.Our host for today's exploration is the queen of all things gut health, Robynne Chutkan, MD.Dr. Chutkan is a board-certified gastroenterologist serving on the Georgetown University Hospital faculty. She is the founder of the Digestive Center for Wellness, as well as the author of 4 books on the microbiome, including her most recent, The Anti-Viral Gut, which offers practical advice for optimizing diet, exercise, sleep, and time outdoors to boost the body’s defenses and our overall health.Appearing for the 2nd time on the podcast, my initial conversation with Dr. Chutkan 7 years ago (RRP #192) dove into the nuts and bolts of the microbiome: what it is, how it functions, and how we can care for it. Today we zoom in, focusing on the antiviral aspects of gut health, why it’s so important, and what you can do about it.We’ve talked a lot about the microbiome on this podcast, but this exchange is truly a masterclass within itself.

Gordo Byrn on Making A 1000 Day Plan, The 5:2 Rule, & Designing Your Best Life
In today’s panoply of role models, rare is the story of an everyman transforming his life wholesale—then sharing his process openly and honestly with humility and vulnerability.Today I convene with one of these aspirational figures (and my own personal hero), endurance veteran Gordo Byrn.This episode is very special because Gordo is someone who greatly inspired and influenced my endurance career and mentored me from afar in ways beyond my ability to calculate.A former private equity investment banker, Gordo metamorphized into an elite ultra-endurance athlete, a student of elite performance, an endurance coach, and, mostly, a devoted family man. He’s also the co-author of the endurance bible Going Long—an incredible resource for all the triathlon fiends out there.One of the reasons Gordo was able to impact me and so many others profoundly is that he humbly shared his experience on the internet as a Web 1.0 blogger and podcaster, a tradition he continues today on Twitter—a platform he uses to share his experience and wisdom on everything from endurance training, marriage, and parenting.Meeting Gordo was like meeting a lost twin for the first time, and this conversation was everything I hoped it would be.Watch: YouTube.Read: Show notes.Today's Sponsors:InsideTracker: insidetracker.com/RichRollAthletic Greens: athleticgreens.com/richroll Indeed: Indeed.com/RICHROLL.BetterHelp: BetterHelp.com/richroll.The Swedish superstar and multiple Ultraman and Otillo champion Jonas Colting calls Gordo ‘Tony Robbins in a Speedo.’ I agree with this statement, and after listening to this one, you will too.Peace + Plants,Rich Hosted on Acast.

Gustav Iden & Kristian Blummenfelt: Lessons From The Norwegian Train Reign
There are professionals. There are Olympians. But rare is the athlete who is so entirely and utterly devoted to sport in mind, body, and soul, that they exceed titles all together.Today I am lucky to host two of these extraordinary individuals: Norsemen Gustav Iden & Kristian Blummenfelt.In an unprecedented period of just 9 months, Kristian was crowned Olympic champion in Tokyo and bagged the fastest Ironman performance ever in his debut. After winning the 2021 70.3 World Champion title, this year Gustav had a spectacular 2022 debut victory at the Ironman World Championships in Kona—a race in which Kristian placed 3rd—emerging from Kristian’s formidable shadow and smashing the overall Kona course record with a blistering 7:40:24. On top of that, he rewrote the marathon course record with a 2:36;15 26.2. Racing in tandem until the very end, Gustav and Kristian gave mindboggling, paradigm-crushing performances at the 2022 Ironman World Championship this year. It was an unforgettable barnburner of a race, and today we dive deep into the metrics and mechanics of that epic day.Watch: YouTube.Read: Show notes.Today's Sponsors:ROKA: roka.comUCAN: ucan.co/roll Navitas: navitasorganics.com/richrollWhoop: WHOOP.com Final Note: If you dig this conversation, look out for my upcoming podcast with their coach (and mad genius) Olav Aleksander Bu, which will be released in the not-so-distant future.The Norwegian Train is in the house.

Dr. David Spiegel On Mind-Body 'Tranceformation' Through Hypnosis
Hypnosis is unfortunately a loaded term, one I admittedly met with skepticism. But as you’ll soon discover, clinical hypnosis, as opposed to ‘stage’ hypnosis, is a genuine and efficacious therapeutic protocol that induces a unique brain state—one that can be leveraged to improve everything from sleep states to high performance. It can be a powerful tool against addiction. And hypnosis has proven efficacious in the alleviation of trauma-related symptoms such as anxiety, chronic pain, and more.Here to help us better understand the power of scientific hypnosis is the world’s leading researcher and clinician in the field, Dr. David Spiegel.Dr. Spiegel is the associate chair of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at Stanford University School of Medicine, the director of the Stanford Center on Stress and Health, and has published over 480 journal articles, 170 book chapters, and a whopping 13 books on the subject of hypnosis and related topics.So set aside your pre-conceived notions regarding what hypnosis “is” and “is not”—and prepare to be amazed.A retrospective on all things hypnosis through the lens of hard science and and neurobiology, Dr. Speigel explains hypnosis, distinguishes the ‘stage’ variety from the clinical definition, and dispels the many myths associated with the field.We discuss the many efficacious use cases for hypnosis, and a process Dr. Spiegel calls tranceformation. Finally, Dr. Spiegel imparts helpful tools for self-hypnosis and a simple test to gauge your own receptivity to hypnosis.Watch: YouTube.Read: Show notes.Today's Sponsors:Athletic Greens: athleticgreens.com/richroll Levels: levels.link/RICHROLLCalm: calm.com/richroll.LMNT: drinkLMNT.com/RICHROLLSpecial Offer: in gratitude for his appearance on the podcast, Dr. Spiegel is offering a special discount on the Reveri mobile app, a self-hypnosis tool that was developed by Dr. Spiegel and his lab at Stanford, which is available in both iOS and Android*.

François D'haene: The Ultra Spirit on Competition, Winemaking & Running Mountains
Meet François D’Haene.One of the greatest (some say the greatest) ultra-distance trail runners in the world, French superstar François is a former physiotherapist turned winemaker who has collected 36 victories and 51 podiums across some of the most prestigious and challenging races in the world. His palmarès include taking victory at UTMB an astonishing four times, a record only recently matched by Kílian Jornet this year. In 2017, François clocked the fastest-ever traverse of the 210-mile John Muir Trail. And in 2021, he won the Hardrock 100, one of the most difficult trail ultras, breaking the overall record previously held by Jornet.Beyond the glow of ultra superstardom, François keeps things simple—a lifestyle that prioritizes his family as a dad to three. And an approach to sustained excellence that values community, connection, and nature over race results and rewards.It’s this disposition—a rare balance many athletes of his caliber struggle to master—that I find most compelling. And it’s the focus of today’s fascinating exploration.Today we explore the elements of François’ mastery.We parse his humble and grounded approach to craft—and how this mindset has contributed to sustained success and career longevity at the highest level of sport.In addition, we discuss the principles that drive him, the details of his training regimen, the allure of nature, advice for tackling your first ultra, and many other topics.But more than anything, this is a conversation about the tension between the rigors of pursuing mastery and the value of important life experiences beyond the parameters of sport.Read: Show notes.I should say up front that François’ French accent can be a bit thick at times, but if you listen closely and aren’t tempted to increase the playback speed, you should be able to follow him just fine.

John McAvoy: From Life Sentence to Life of Purpose
If you’re someone who actually believes that people don’t change, prepare for a major mindset shift.Meet John McAvoy.Returning for his 2nd appearance on the podcast, John is positive transformation rendered in human form—and his story is one of the most compelling, improbable, inspirational, and cinematic tales you will ever be privileged to hear.The McAvoy name might ring a bell for longtime listeners. He first appeared on the show a little over four years ago on episode #379—a conversation that ranks among the most memorable and impactful in the ten-year history of the show.For those unfamiliar, John is a former high-profile armed robber, one of Britain’s most successful career criminals and most wanted men. His reckoning was delivered in the form of a double life sentence (the 2nd of 2 prison stints) on the notorious Belmarsh high-security wing—a space he shared with extremist cleric Abu Hamza and the 7/7 bombers.To the rational outsider, John’s future was bleak. But a chance encounter with prison gym indoor rowing machine would ultimately change his life forever. In short shrift, John ended up breaking a cluster of British and World indoor rowing records while incarcerated, and upon parole, began forging a new life as a professional endurance athlete.Today, John is a Nike-sponsored Ironman athlete living in the Alps, a vegan (not my doing—I promise), and a stalwart mouthpiece for prison reform who has testified at 10 Downing Street. But above all, he’s a staunch advocate for the inherent power we all possess to course correct the trajectory of our lives, no matter how dire the circumstances.I was in London recently and couldn’t resist the opportunity to reconvene with this legend. This episode is old school—no video, just two guys vibing across a kitchen table. We pick right up where we last left off four years prior and dive even deeper into John’s remarkable story to further mine the extraordinary, latent potential we all hold to better ourselves.Watch: YouTube.Read: Show notes.Today's Sponsors:Whoop: WHOOP.com Birch Living: birchiving.com/richroll.Express VPN: expressvpn.com/RICHROLL.Daily Harvest: dailyharvest.com/RICHROLL.Seed: seed.com/RICHROLL.As you’ll soon discover, John’s greatest heist isn’t a bank—it’s his life.Peace + Plants,Rich Hosted on Acast.

Never Quit Before The Miracle: The Story of Anvil
Meet the masters of resilience. 80’s metal trailblazers: Anvil.For those of you who bristle at the thought of heavy metal, set aside that resistance. Give this one a shot with an open mind and heart. And thank me later—because the story of Anvil—and the filmmaker who captured their tale—is nothing short of remarkable.At 14, Steve ‘Lips’ Kudlow and Robb Reiner made a pact to rock together forever. In 1982 they birthed a highly influential album that would inspire the likes of Anthrax and Metallica—and then proceeded to drop off the map, toiling in obscurity for decades while the bands they impacted rose to superstardom.Then, in 2006, filmmaker (and former Anvil roadie) Sacha Gervasi set out to find out what happened, discovering to his astonishment that 25 years later the band was still making music and remained steadfastly committed to the most impossible of dreams: making it big.Now this is a story, he thought.So Sacha grabbed a small camera crew and proceeded to follow the band as they persevered through obstacles, navigated a botched European tour, and recorded a thirteenth album. Despite rejection that would devastate the strongest among us, Anvil refused to give up on their dream—and never lost hope.Today we tell this surprisingly touching and remarkably inspirational story.And now, 50 years since the band debuted and 13 years after the rockumentary first premiered in 2008, the film is being re-released in 200 theaters across the US this week and later in theatres across Europe and beyond—a response to a new generation of enthusiastic young people who discovered and fell in love with the movie during Covid.Watch: YouTube.Read: Show notes.Today's Sponsors:ROKA: roka.com and enter code RichRoll for 20% off.Navitas: navitasorganics.com/richroll and enter code RICHROLL for 30% off.Calm: 40% off a Calm Premium subscription at calm.com/richroll.Whoop: WHOOP.com and use the code RICHROLL for 15% off.Levels: Learn more at levels.link/RICHROLLLips and Robb hold an unwavering conviction and extraordinary amount of courage that is nothing short of superhuman.

Paul Conti, MD: Face & Heal The Trauma That Dictates Your Life
Dr. Paul Conti is a graduate of Stanford University School of Medicine. He completed his training at Stanford and Harvard, where he served as Chief Resident. He then served on the medical faculty at Harvard before moving to Portland, Oregon, and founding the Pacific Premiere Group—a clinical practice helping people heal and grow from trauma and other life challenges.Dr. Conti is also the author of Trauma, the Invisible Epidemic: How Trauma Works and How We Can Heal From It, which I feel strongly is required reading for everyone, particularly those of you looking to not only heal from your own trauma, and for anyone desiring to break cycles of generational trauma.This conversation is truly a master class on all things trauma.Dr. Conti begins by defining trauma, and explaining what trauma is and isn’t. We then look at the many ways in which unresolved trauma perniciously manifests in our lives, discuss the various ways in which the medical establishment fails us with respect to mental health, and explore a vision for how to improve it. And we close with tools available to effectively process, heal, and even prevent trauma from negatively impacting our lives and the lives of our loved ones.Watch: YouTube.Read: Show notes.Today's Sponsors:Salomon: salomon.com/richroll and use code LOVETHEPAIN (exclusions apply).Whoop: WHOOP.com and use the code RICHROLL.Athletic Greens: athleticgreens.com/richrollInsideTracker: insidetracker.com/RichRollDr. Conti’s wisdom on this important subject is profound.

The Chaos Machine: How Social Media Rewired Our Brains and Our World
It’s no secret that social media’s influence on us is designed to be invisible.

Dr. Gabor Maté On How Trauma Fuels Disease
In the most health-obsessed society ever, all is not well. At the root lies a sleeping giant: unhealed trauma.Here to help us further explore this profound insight is renowned speaker and bestselling author, Dr. Gabor Maté.Returning for his second appearance on the show (his first being RRP #188) Dr. Maté is an expert in a wide range of topics, best known for his work on the relationship between addiction and childhood development.If you are interested in truly understanding the nature of addiction, his book In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts is an essential read that has influenced me profoundly.Dr. Maté’s latest and most ambitious book to date is The Myth of Normal, a groundbreaking extrapolation of his addiction thesis that investigates the true causes of illness, the many ways in which our society breeds disease, and the pathway to health and well-being.Over the course of this conversation, Dr. Maté brilliantly illuminates what we can do to course correct and heal as individuals, and as a collective society at large.Watch: YouTube.Read: Show notes.InsideTracker: Created by leading scientists in biometrics, InsideTracker analyzes your blood, DNA, and fitness data to identify where you’re optimized and where you’re not, giving you personalized guidance on the right exercise, nutrition, and supplementation for your body.
