    16,000 Chemicals in Your Food — and Only 1% Are Deemed Safe | Johanna Hellrigl

    Chef Johanna Hellrigl — owner of DC's mission-driven restaurant AMA and an Environmental Working Group board member — joins Josh to connect personal and planetary health, from the plastic chemicals migrating into our food to the waste we never see.They get into her TED talk "The Plastic You Eat," the Fed Up movement on ultra-processed food, composting at home, regenerative farming, and why slowing down and voting with your dollars can shift the whole food system.Word from our sponsor. This whole conversation with Johanna kept landing on the same truth: your environment is shaping your body whether you notice it or not. The plastics, the packaging, the pace we're all running at — it adds up. And the antidote isn't one more thing to push harder at. It's slowing down enough to let your body get back to baseline.That's exactly why I wear The One Device every single day. It layers infrared light, visible light, and sound — all pulsing at the same frequency — into one small pendant that sits right over your heart. Think of it as a tuning fork for your nervous system. In a world constantly pulling you into fight-or-flight, it quietly helps you drop back into the rest-and-digest state where your body actually repairs.Johanna kept saying your body is always talking to you. The One Device is one of the ways I stay calm enough to listen — on flights, in the middle of New York City, wherever I land.If you want to try it for yourself, head to theonedevice.com and use code JOSH for 10% off.Link: https://theonedevice.com/Code: JOSH (10% off)KEY TAKEAWAYS:- It's not just the container — it's heat, fat, acid, and time. That's the "perfect storm" that pulls plastic chemicals into food. There are ~16,000 known plastic chemicals, and only about 1% have been deemed non-hazardous.- The fix is awareness, not fear. Endocrine disruptors like BPA (and its cousins BPS and BPF) affect hormones, fertility, and kids — knowing where plastics hide lets you make better choices and vote with your dollars.- Waste is invisible, and that's the problem. One second of convenience — a coffee cup, a takeout box — can last centuries in a landfill. Seeing the scale (a child goes through ~6,000 diapers) is what actually changes behavior.- Close the loop at home and in sourcing. Tools like the Mill food recycler, local compost pickup, whole-food ingredients, and microplastic-tested seafood shrink waste and support soil and health at the same time.- Change the incentives and slow down. Reward people for better choices instead of only charging for convenience, back regenerative farmers with guaranteed demand, and remember ~60% of meals are eaten outside the home — so restaurants have to be part of the solution.TIMESTAMPS:00:00 Meeting Chef Johanna Hellrigl & the mission behind AMA01:47 Growing up Italian in the restaurant industry03:30 The Fed Up movement & the science on ultra-processed food05:04 "The Plastic You Eat": heat, fat, acid & time07:08 16,000 plastic chemicals, BPA/BPS/BPF & the health cost08:15 Voting with your dollars — the protein craze in reverse11:56 The waste we never see: know your farmer, know your food12:48 Hiro's plastic-eating diapers & making waste visible15:42 Composting at home: the Mill, the garden & zero-waste at AMA17:33 Recycling vs. reality — where our trash actually goes19:36 Bringing your own containers: lessons from Europe23:33 The GRAYL bottle, vintage clothing & the Ridwell exercise27:48 Shopping local, the parasite outbreak & ozonated water32:44 Slow food, slowing down & the compostable cup37:10 Why restaurants can't be left out (60% of meals are eaten out)39:30 Sourcing clean: Lummi Island Wild, Seatopia & bioindividuality41:35 Regenerative farming & guaranteeing farmers the demand43:35 Composting with her son & teaching kids where food comes from46:00 What's next: helping other restaurants transform48:46 Where to find Johanna, AMA & a little Vivo Barefoot love🌐 Connect with Joshua & SWTTPodcast Website: https://www.simplywalkthetalk.comYouTube: @simplywalkthetalkInstagram: @simplywalkthetalkTikTok: @simplywalkthetalkJoshua Holland: https://linktr.ee/joshuajholland

    Foot Health, PEMF & Cellular Energy: Joshua J. Holland on PEMF Cast

    Fitness coach and biohacker Joshua J. Holland joins the Pulsecast to argue the body is one connected system — and that most pain starts at the foundation: your feet. Restrictive shoes, heel lifts, tight hips, and forward-rolled shoulders create a "perfect storm."He breaks down how PEMF, grounding, and hydration recharge you at the cellular level, shares a five-minute experiment that proves it, and points to the simple get-outside habits that help you recover and perform.I don't work with companies just for a paycheck — I only put my name on what I actually use. Pulse is one of those. It's been part of my routine for years, from the portable Pulse X I travel with to the XL Pro when a client needs real power and specific frequencies.My non-negotiable is simple. Most nights I connect the PowerPad to my Pulse X, turn it to a comfortable level, and just sit with it while I wind down — no timers, no buttons to babysit. I used that same approach to recover from hernia surgery, and my surgeon couldn't believe how fast I bounced back.The easiest place to start is your feet. Put the paddles under your feet and see if you can feel it. If you can't, that tells us something — maybe you need more circulation, better hydration, more cellular energy. That one question opens the door to everything else.Explore the Pulse systems at https://pulsepemf.com/5 Key Takeaways:- Your feet are the foundation. Restrictive shoes and even a small heel lift can shorten the Achilles and calf, tilt the pelvis, and cascade up into back and shoulder pain.- Cellular health is invisible — and that's why it's neglected. Like foot health, it's easy to overlook because you can't see it, yet it drives how you recover and perform.- PEMF works from the ground up. Pulsing the feet is the easiest entry point, especially for circulation issues like neuropathy — if you can't feel it, that's information.- Hydration and electrolytes power cellular voltage. In Joshua's grounding demo, five minutes on a PowerPad with electrolyte water restored conduction nearly every time.- Get outside and embrace some discomfort. Constantly chasing comfort works against your biology; movement and nature are part of the foundation, not extras.TIMESTAMPS00:00 Why every issue can start at your feet02:01 The perfect storm: heels, hips, and hunched shoulders04:07 Selling the invisible: foot health and cellular health06:33 Start at the feet — pulsing, neuropathy, and circulation08:59 How Joshua's Pulse practice evolved (starting with the X)11:22 Pulse X vs. XL Pro: when you need more power13:45 Non-negotiable accessories and recovering "like Wolverine"16:10 Defying limits and the transference experiment18:35 The grounding line: who conducts and who doesn't21:00 Hydration, electrolytes, and cellular voltage23:23 Drinking from the firehose: biohacking without the overwhelm25:47 Get outside: nature, discomfort, and The Comfort Crisis28:10 A breakout 2026: books, a show, and a retreat30:34 The five pillars (and why exercise isn't #1)32:52 Where to find Joshua + the brands he stands behindRESOURCES:- Pulse PEMF — https://pulsepemf.com/- Vivobarefoot — https://www.vivobarefoot.com/us/- STEMREGEN (code JOSH) — https://www.stemregen.co/- The One Device (code JOSH, 10% off) — https://theonedevice.com/- Ra Optics — blue-light / daylight lenses — https://raoptics.com/- Book: "The Awareness Shift" by Joshua J.

    Frequency Technology You Wear 24/7 | Dimitri, The One Device

    At Biohackers World, Josh sits down with Dimitri, creator of The One Device — a frequency wearable that layers infrared light, visible light, and sound into one small pendant designed to bring your nervous system back to balance.They cover the science behind it, the results of its first study (~90% reported less stress and better sleep), how Josh uses it 24/7 in circadian mode, and why he calls it a tuning fork for your energy system.5 Key Takeaways• The One Device combines infrared light, visible light, and sound pulsing at the same frequency — plus two vibrating crystals — so the effect is far greater than any one modality alone.• Modern life (Wi-Fi, screens, toxins, stress) pulls us out of the balanced state where our sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems are in sync. The device helps you return to that state.• The device doesn't "do" the healing — your body does. It simply creates the conditions of coherence so you have the resources to rest, digest, and repair.• Its first study showed ~90% of users reported noticeably less stress, better sleep, more calm, and more focus.• A copper Faraday-cage body means no Bluetooth and no EMF escape; the app syncs through vibration, and modes like circadian and voice/HRV analysis let you personalize it.Featured Sponsor Segment  This episode is brought to you by the very thing we're talking about — The One Device.I didn't come to Biohackers World because I had to. I came because I actually wear this thing every single day. As a biohacker, I've tried a lot of tools you have to take on faith. The One Device was the first one that looked good on me — a real conversation piece — and the first one where I could actually see a light being emitted, so I knew there was something happening beyond just "energy."What keeps it on my neck 24/7 is coherence. I fly constantly, I live in the middle of New York City, and I'm big on sensory awareness — I'm even writing a book called Sensory Movement. Keeping The One Device in circadian mode helps me stay in that balanced, rest-and-digest state a whole lot longer, no matter where I've landed. It's a tuning fork for your nervous system, sitting right over your heart.If you want to try it for yourself, head to theonedevice.com and use code JOSH.Link: https://theonedevice.com/ Code: JOSH8.

    The App That Pays You to Eat Healthy (And the 5-Day Reset That Followed)

    In this in-the-field episode, Joshua sits down with the team behind Nea — an app that rewards you for eating at vetted, mindful restaurants across New York. We dig into the "incentive economy": matching a good intention with a good action. Then things get personal — Joshua walked the Nea crew through a 5-day, do-it-yourself fasting-mimicking reset built around Springbone bone broth. Only a few made it to day five, but everyone learned something bigger than a meal plan: who they are when the food goes away.STEMREGEN: Here's the thing about a 5-day reset like the one we ran with the Nea team: you're asking your body to do more with less. Fewer calories, less fuel — but you still want your cells firing, your recovery sharp, and your mind clear by day four instead of foggy on day two.That's exactly why I lean on STEMREGEN. It's a plant-based formula, backed by 20-plus years of research, that supports your body's own repair system by helping release your natural stem cells into circulation. When I'm putting my body through something — a reset, a hard training block, travel — this is the one I don't skip. It's not a stimulant and it's not a crutch. It's support for the system that actually does the rebuilding.If you've been curious about what real cellular support feels like, this is where I'd start.👉 https://www.stemregen.co — use code JOSH to save.Key Takeaways:- Nea connects "mindful consumers" with "mindful businesses" and rewards you for choosing well — every partner is personally vetted by the founders.- Eating healthy isn't restrictive. A burger or a pizza can be healthy when it's made with the right ingredients — the Mediterranean approach is inclusive, not punishing.- A reset is a mind game before it's a body game. The real shift is mental clarity — most people report it kicking in around day four.- Run the hunger checklist before you eat: Am I thirsty? Am I bored? Or do I actually need the nutrients? Most "hunger" is one of the first two.- You don't need the kit to reset. Hydrate hard, stay busy, keep movement light, and lean on a community — that's what carries you through.TIMESTAMPS:00:00 Gen Z, mindful eating, and the idea behind Nea02:30 Meet the team — why Italians built a healthy-eating app05:15 Every partner is vetted: the story behind the brands08:40 The incentive economy: matching good intentions with rewards12:00 How Joshua actually uses the Nia app day to day15:30 Community, isolation, and the "third place"19:00 The prolonged fast that started the whole conversation22:15 Designing a DIY fasting-mimicking reset26:00 Day 2 and the olives: real hunger vs. mental hunger30:20 The hunger checklist — thirsty, bored, or actually depleted?34:00 Day 4 clarity, better sleep, and "abbiocco"38:30 How to train, hydrate, and stay busy during a reset42:00 Breaking the fast at Springbone45:00 The new community reset — how to join48:00 Love yourself, and make the good choice easyRESOURCES:- Springbone Kitchen (bone broth + bowls, the reset partner) — https://springbone.com/- ProLon 5-Day Fasting-Mimicking Diet — https://prolonlife.com/- STEMREGEN (episode sponsor, code JOSH) — https://www.stemregen.co/- SunLife Organics NYC — https://sunlifeorganics.com/- Impact Kitchen NYC (site of the healthy food crawl) — https://www.impactkitchen.com/- Nea app (rewards for mindful eating in NYC) — https://neaapp.ai/🌐 Connect with Joshua & SWTTPodcast Website: https://www.simplywalkthetalk.comYouTube: @simplywalkthetalkInstagram: @simplywalkthetalkTikTok: @simplywalkthetalkJoshua Holland: https://linktr.ee/joshuajholland

    Emotional Intimacy on a Massage Table | Allana Pratt in NYC

    Recorded in NYC on Joshua's 45th birthday — and, for the first time, on a massage table — this heart-first conversation with emotional intimacy expert Allana Pratt covers morning rituals, being direct without manipulation, and why truth sets you free even when it stings.Allana shares the 6.5-year estrangement from her son that ended in a Mother's Day miracle, and together they explore how to feel a feeling all the way through — and move from excellent to living in your genius.5 Key Takeaways• Feel it all the way through. Emotions move in waves and pass. Shoving them down, projecting, or numbing keeps them stuck — feeling them fully turns pain into power.• Truth is love. Speak from an open heart with no attachment to the outcome. What someone does with your truth is about them, not you.• Feed yourself from the inside. When you stop needing approval from the outside in, you stop being manipulated by other people's reactions.• Put the ego in the backseat. You can't get rid of it — but who's driving determines your whole life. Soul up front, ego with a sippy cup.• Excellent isn't the finish line. You can be highly competent at something that still doesn't feed you. The "big leap" is letting it go to live in your genius.STEMREGEN This whole conversation with Allana kept circling back to one idea: your body is always talking to you. The tension, the tightness, the feeling that won't go away — it's information. And the work isn't to shove it down, it's to let it move all the way through so your body can do what it was built to do: repair.That's exactly why I take STEMREGEN. As we get older, the number of stem cells circulating in our bloodstream drops — and those circulating stem cells are the foundation of the body's natural repair system. STEMREGEN is a plant-based formula that supports the release of your own stem cells from the bone marrow so they can travel to wherever your body needs them most.For me it's part of the same philosophy I brought to this episode — recovery, feeling more, and giving your body what it needs to keep up with the life you're actually living.If you want to support your body's own repair system, go to https://www.stemregen.co/ and use code JOSH at checkout.Timestamps 00:00 Why I stopped needing you to like me02:30 A gratitude prayer to open the conversation05:00 Morning rituals: the AeroPress and a "witch's brew"10:00 Visualizing your day before it happens14:00 Learning to be direct without manipulation18:00 Truth is love — what people do with it isn't about you21:00 Letting go of the birthday party I thought I wanted25:00 Allana's 6.5-year estrangement and the Mother's Day miracle31:00 Co-parenting across two continents and three languages38:00 What an "emotional intimacy expert" actually does43:00 How to feel a feeling all the way through47:00 The TSA, a widow's ashes, and being an angel50:00 Sensory movement: feeling more in body, mind, and spirit56:00 From excellent to genius — the Big Leap most people skip62:00 A husband's message from the other side68:00 What we each want to call in next74:00 Closing: one degree of changeResources Mentioned • Allana Pratt (Intimacy Expert) — https://allanapratt.com/• Allana Pratt on Instagram — https://www.instagram.com/allanapratt/• Vivobarefoot — https://www.vivobarefoot.com/us/• Rasa (adaptogenic coffee alternative) — https://wearerasa.com/• Magic Mind — https://magicmind.com/• AeroPress — https://aeropress.com/• "The Big Leap" by Gay Hendricks (book)• STEMREGEN (episode sponsor) — https://www.stemregen.co/ — code JOSH🌐 Connect with Joshua & SWTTPodcast Website: https://www.simplywalkthetalk.comYouTube: @simplywalkthetalkInstagram: @simplywalkthetalkTikTok: @simplywalkthetalkJoshua Holland: https://linktr.ee/joshuajholland

    The Gut Bug 90% of Us Are Missing | Christina O'Connor

    Joshua sits down with registered dietitian Christina O'Connor of Pendulum Life to unpack why the gut is the foundation of immune, skin, metabolic and brain health — and why most people are missing a keystone microbe called Akkermansia muciniphila.They get into leaky gut and the mucosal barrier, butyrate and your body's ability to make its own GLP-1, what CGMs reveal about movement after meals, fasting and resets, parasites and glyphosate, and how to reintroduce probiotics "low and slow."5 Key Takeaways• The gut is the foundation of whole-body health — immune function, skin, metabolism and even brain clarity all trace back to it • Akkermansia is a keystone microbe most people lack; it can't come from food, soil, or air — only from birth and breast milk, and until now was never available as a supplement • Akkermansia maintains your gut barrier by recycling old mucus and signaling fresh mucus production, helping prevent the "leaky gut" that lets food proteins and toxins into circulation • Butyrate-producing strains let your body make its own GLP-1 from fiber — the same hormone behind popular metabolic injections • Movement after meals (a walk or even squats) blunts blood-sugar spikes, and gut work should be reintroduced "low and slow" to avoid a hostile takeoverFeatured Sponsor Segment (STEMREGEN)This whole conversation comes back to one idea: give your body the tools it's missing, and let it do what it's built to do.That's exactly why STEMREGEN has stayed in my routine. Just like your gut has a repair crew working along the barrier, your body has its own repair system — your adult stem cells. STEMREGEN supports the release of those cells from the bone marrow so you can recover, adapt, and rebuild from training, travel, and everyday stress.We spend so much energy chasing the next hack. But the real wins usually come from supporting the systems you already have — your gut, your stem cells, your biology — instead of overriding them.Foundation first.

    The Truth About The One Device: AuraScan & SoundSuite Results

    Joshua Holland visits Motion NYC for a hands-on exploration of modern wellness technology, frequency optimization, nervous system recovery, and human performance. Through aura scans, HRV testing, sound therapy, bio-tuning, and conversations with the Motion team, Joshua explores a powerful idea: perhaps wellness isn’t about biohacking at all.The discussion dives into recovery, coherence, frequency medicine, red light therapy, grounding, oxygen optimization, and why many of today’s wellness technologies are simply helping people reconnect with biological principles humans have relied on for generations. The result is a fascinating conversation about balancing innovation with the fundamentals of health.This episode is sponsored by The One Device.One of the most interesting parts of this week’s visit to Motion NYC was exploring how personalized frequency therapy can support recovery, focus, relaxation, and overall well-being.During the episode, I went through a sound sweep assessment to identify the frequency that brought my nervous system closest to a relaxed, balanced state. We then uploaded that frequency directly into The One Device, creating a personalized experience designed around my body’s unique response.What I appreciate about The One Device is that it isn’t trying to replace healthy habits. It’s designed to complement them.Whether you’re focused on recovery, stress management, meditation, sleep, or simply creating more moments of calm throughout your day, The One Device offers an easy way to bring frequency-based wellness into your daily routine.Learn more at https://theonedevice.com/joshuahollandUse code JOSH to save on your order.5 Key Takeaways 1. Many wellness technologies are designed to recreate natural inputs humans once received daily. 2. HRV and nervous system recovery provide valuable insight into stress and resilience. 3. Sound frequency therapy may help individuals move toward a more balanced physiological state. 4. Wellness is often less about optimization and more about consistency with foundational habits. 5.

    Fasting, Focus, and Stem Cell Repair with Christian Drapeau

    In this episode of Simply Walk The Talk, Joshua Holland meets Christian Drapeau in New York City for a conversation that starts with smoothies and fasting, then moves into brain focus, sensory overload, stem cell mobilization, and the body’s natural repair system.Christian explains why fasting can create sharper mental energy, how the reticular activating system helps the brain filter noise, and why supporting the body’s own stem cell release may be one of the most practical ways to improve repair, recovery, and resilience.They also discuss STEMREGEN, misconceptions about stem cells in capsules, stem cell injections versus endogenous stem cell mobilization, aging, inflammation, microcirculation, and what may be coming next in the world of targeted stem cell support.5 Key Takeaways1. Fasting may help the body shift into clearer, more efficient energy.2. The brain filters constant sensory input through systems like the RAS.3. STEMREGEN does not contain stem cells; it supports the release of the body’s own stem cells.4. Stem cell mobilization may support repair, recovery, and healthy aging.5. Lifestyle still matters: stress, movement, circulation, and inflammation all affect how repair happens.Featured ProductSTEMREGEN supports the release of your own adult stem cells, your body’s natural repair system.Christian Drapeau explains that STEMREGEN is not a stem cell capsule. It is a plant-based formula designed to help mobilize stem cells from the bone marrow into circulation, where the body can use them for repair and recovery.https://stemregen.co/joshUse code JOSH to save 15%.Timestamps00:00 START00:01 Breaking a fast in New York City02:00 Intermittent fasting and clean energy04:30 ProLon, ketones, and fasting-mimicking diets07:00 Sensory overload, stimulus, and energy09:00 The reticular activating system and focus12:00 Sensory movement, awareness, and meditation15:00 Why Christian is in New York17:30 SHA Wellness and therapeutic reset protocols20:00 How STEMREGEN could fit with stem cell therapy22:00 What STEMREGEN actually is25:00 Misconceptions about stem cells in capsules28:00 Aging and stem cell release31:00 Healthy populations and supplement research34:00 The historical context of stem cell science39:00 Endogenous stem cell mobilization43:00 Stem cell injections versus daily stem cell release47:00 Pluripotent, multipotent, and progenitor stem cells51:00 Fertility, repair, and future research55:00 Cost comparisons and realistic expectations59:00 Why people may not “feel” results immediately01:03:00 Stress, inflammation, circulation, and repair01:07:00 New STEMREGEN products on the horizon01:10:00 Joshua’s personal recovery stories01:14:00 Supporting the body and stepping out of the wayResources MentionedSTEMREGEN: https://stemregen.coUse code JOSH to save 15%Christian Drapeau’s book: Cracking the Stem Cell CodeSHA Wellness: https://shawellness.comImpact Kitchen: https://impactkitchen.com🌐 Connect with Joshua & SWTTPodcast Website: https://www.simplywalkthetalk.comYouTube: @simplywalkthetalkInstagram: @simplywalkthetalkTikTok: @simplywalkthetalkJoshua Holland: https://linktr.ee/joshuajholland

    The Reset That Helped My Brother Lose 28 Pounds in 3 Weeks

    In this personal episode of Simply Walk The Talk, Joshua sits down with his brother, Mario, for a raw conversation about grief, stress, health, and the kind of wake-up call that can change a life. They reflect on how Mario’s first trip to New York shifted his perspective years ago, and how a recent ProLon reset became another turning point at exactly the right time.Mario opens up about the emotional weight of losing their father, the stress of law enforcement, self-isolation, emotional eating, and the spiral that led him back near his heaviest weight. Together, the brothers unpack how habits form during hard seasons, how hard it can be to interrupt those patterns, and why sometimes it takes someone close to step in and help create momentum.They also talk through Mario’s experience using the ProLon fasting mimicking diet, what changed physically and mentally in just a few weeks, and how that reset helped him build a new sense of discipline, energy, and hope. This is an honest conversation about brotherhood, accountability, grief, and choosing to fight for a better future while there is still time.5 Key TakeawaysSometimes one decisive nudge can change the trajectory of a person’s life.Grief, chronic stress, and self-isolation can quietly fuel destructive health patterns.A reset can be about much more than weight loss; it can restore energy, mood, and momentum.Accountability from family can be uncomfortable, but it can also be life-giving.Real change often begins when someone decides they are done repeating the same cycle.ProLon Fasting Mimicking Diethttps://prolonlife.com/JOSHUAuse code: JOSH10This episode centers around Mario’s experience using ProLon as a structured reset during a difficult season. Joshua shares why he believed the kit would be a good fit, how the fasting mimicking diet works, and why it can help people interrupt unhealthy routines without doing a strict water fast.

    Why Your Feet May Be the Key to Movement and Longevity

    In this episode, Joshua sits down with Dr. Emily Splichal, functional podiatrist, founder of Noboso, and author of Sensory Sapiens, for a conversation about feet, sensation, movement, and the deeper role sensory awareness plays in longevity.They explore how Dr. Emily’s work has evolved from Barefoot Strong into a much broader philosophy: that feet are not just biomechanical structures, but powerful sensory gateways that influence how we move, balance, feel, and connect to ourselves. Together, they discuss foot strength, body schema, interoception, movement quality, and why sensory stimulation may be one of the most overlooked aspects of health and performance.This conversation also gets practical. Dr. Emily shares how to begin reconnecting with the feet, what people can notice immediately by standing barefoot with intention, and why better movement starts with better awareness.If you care about movement, balance, presence, aging well, or understanding the body on a deeper level, this episode delivers.Key Takeaways • Feet are not just structural; they are deeply sensory • Better sensory awareness can improve movement quality and body control • Taking off your shoes helps, but intentional foot training matters more • Body schema plays a major role in performance, aging, and injury prevention • Longevity is not just about quantity of movement, but quality and presenceFeatured ProductSTEMREGENThis episode is a reminder that longevity is not built through one single habit. It comes from how well the body senses, adapts, repairs, and responds over time.That’s one reason STEMREGEN continues to fit so naturally into this broader conversation.

    Why Body Composition Matters More Than Weight Alone

    In this episode, Joshua sits down with one of his oldest friends in New York, Sean Capello, for a conversation that starts as a walk down memory lane and turns into a real discussion about transformation, motivation, and the power of better data.Joshua and Sean reflect on their early days in New York, shooting some of Joshua’s first fitness content long before social media fitness became mainstream. From rooftop workouts and jump rope videos to storm workouts during Hurricane Sandy, the two revisit the projects, training experiments, and friendship that shaped a big part of Joshua’s early career.The conversation then shifts into the real reason for the episode: Sean’s recent health transformation. After years of life changes, stress, fatherhood, pandemic weight gain, and a broken ankle, Sean found himself needing a better way to measure progress. What You’ll Learn in This Episode • How Joshua and Sean first started working together in New York • The early days of barefoot fitness content before it was mainstream • How Sean’s weight and health shifted through work stress, the pandemic, and injury • Why weight alone is a poor measure of health progress • How body-composition tracking can improve motivation and decision-making • What metrics like visceral fat, lean mass, and metabolic age can reveal • Why real transformation often starts with better awareness, not more guessworkKey Takeaways • Progress becomes easier to sustain when it is measurable in meaningful ways • Body composition is more useful than weight alone for understanding health • Lean mass, visceral fat, and metabolic age can offer a more complete picture • Motivation improves when someone can actually see change happeningFeatured SponsorSTEMREGEN supports the release of your body’s own adult stem cells—your natural repair system.Whether the goal is recovery, performance, resilience, or supporting the body through the wear and tear of everyday life, STEMREGEN is designed to help your system do what it was built to do: repair and adapt.Joshua has shared repeatedly that recovery is not just about rest.

    WORTH REVISITING: The Truth About Stem Cells with Christian Drapeau

    WORTH REVISITING: One of our most popular conversations on recovery and repair.This week on Simply Walk the Talk, we’re revisiting a powerful conversation between Joshua Holland and stem cell researcher Christian Drapeau, the scientist behind STEMREGEN. The discussion explores the real science of stem cell mobilization, why stem cells act as the body’s primary repair system, and why recovery often depends on factors most people overlook.Christian explains the discovery he made more than two decades ago and how specific plant compounds can increase circulating stem cells. The conversation explores why this matters for athletes, aging, inflammation, chronic issues, and everyday wear and tear.Joshua also shares his own recovery experiences, including how STEMREGEN supported his return from plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinopathy, and even the early stages of rhabdomyolysis.Together they discuss skepticism, clinical data, real-world cases, and how properly “front-loading” the system can help the body access its natural repair mechanisms more effectively.This remains one of the most practical conversations on recovery, resilience, and the body’s ability to repair itself.STEMREGEN supports the release of your own adult stem cells—your body’s natural repair system. Developed from two decades of research, this plant-based formula helps increase circulating stem cells within hours, supporting recovery, tissue repair, and systemic resilience.Shop STEMREGEN: https://stemregen.co/joshUse CODE: JOSH to save 15 percent.5 KEY TAKEAWAYSStem cells are the body’s primary repair system—every injury, micro-trauma, and age-related decline involves stem cell activity.STEMREGEN is a stem cell mobilizer, not stem cells themselves, and increases circulating stem cells within 1–3 hours.Skepticism is normal, but both clinical data and real-world cases consistently show faster recovery when stem cells are mobilized.Stacking modalities amplifies repair—PEMF, red light, grounding, and nutrition all work better when more stem cells are available.Front-loading is key—higher doses for 30 days help the body catch up on accumulated repair needs before switching to maintenance.TIMESTAMPS00:00 START00:01 Joshua introduces guest Christian Drapeau02:27 The rise of stem cell research and STEMREGEN03:33 Burnout, inflammation, and why recovery sometimes forces you to slow down05:21 What STEMREGEN actually is and how it works07:27 How stem cell mobilization accelerates repair10:59 Joshua’s skepticism before trying the product12:00 The origin story and early scientific discoveries15:28 Stem cells as the body’s innate repair mechanism16:31 Why simple concepts often face the most resistance20:23 Joshua’s Achilles and plantar fasciitis recovery story23:15 How modalities like PEMF and red light leverage stem cells27:23 The role of clinical trials vs. real-world cases30:45 What studies show about heart, lung, and liver repair35:21 How long it takes to feel changes39:17 Front-loading: how to take the product correctly41:31 How to structure doses throughout the day42:56 When to stay on maintenance vs. cycles44:21 Typical repair timelines and post-injury protocols47:53 Joshua’s rhabdomyolysis recovery story50:52 Closing reflections from Christian52:43 Outro and upcoming collaborationsRESOURCES MENTIONEDSTEMREGENhttps://stemregen.co/joshCracking the Stem Cell Code – Christian Drapeauhttps://www.amazon.com/dp/1630061436🌐 Connect with Joshua & SWTTPodcast Website: https://www.simplywalkthetalk.comYouTube: @simplywalkthetalkInstagram: @simplywalkthetalkTikTok: @simplywalkthetalkJoshua Holland: https://linktr.ee/joshuajholland

    The Science of Sound: How Music Can Reset the Nervous System

    In this episode of Simply Walk the Talk, Joshua Holland sits down with creative director and sound innovator Gen Cleary to explore the profound relationship between music, vibration, and human health.Recorded on location in Times Square at the immersive tech and wellness showroom Tomorrow, the conversation dives into Cleary’s groundbreaking installation known as THE HUM—a multisensory chair that uses music and vibration to engage the body as a full-body receptor of sound.Cleary shares her journey from producing global dance-music residencies for artists like Calvin Harris, David Guetta, and Tiësto in Las Vegas mega-clubs to creating a wellness technology designed to reset the nervous system through vibroacoustics.The conversation explores the science behind sound therapy, the power of vibration in the body, and why music may function as a form of “nutritional input” for the nervous system. Joshua also shares his firsthand experience inside the HUM chair and discusses how sound, silence, and environment influence human performance and recovery.If you’ve ever felt music move through your body, this episode explains why—and how that experience might be used intentionally for healing, awareness, and nervous system regulation.⸻Key Takeaways1. Music may function like “nutritional input” for the nervous systemSound frequencies influence emotional states, neurological responses, and physiological regulation.2. The body is designed to receive sound through more than the earsVibration travels through water in the body, meaning sound can be experienced physically through tissues and bones.3. Vibroacoustic technology amplifies music’s therapeutic potentialDevices like THE HUM deliver sound waves through the body using transducers that stimulate the nervous system.4. Sound environments shape human physiologyConstant noise exposure—from cities to headphones—can keep the nervous system in a heightened state of stress.5. Humming may help regulate the nervous systemResearch suggests humming can stimulate the vagus nerve and help shift the body toward a parasympathetic state.⸻Featured ProductStemregen – Cellular Regeneration SupportHealthy stem cell activity plays a critical role in repair and recovery throughout the body.

    A New Year Reflection on Movement, Community, and Purpose

    In this New Year solo episode, Joshua Holland reflects on the past year’s biggest lessons — from deep work with Vivo Barefoot and the “No Turning Back” backcountry experience, to the value of saying yes to hard things that expand capacity. He shares why variety in movement matters, why community matters even more, and how grief can become fuel for building something meaningful.The episode also turns personal: Joshua speaks candidly about the loss of his father, what that season demanded from him and his family, and why he’s committed to bringing more health-forward community spaces back to Oklahoma — starting with the people and places that raised him.5 key takeaways 1. Variety in movement builds resilience — not just one lane (running-only, Hyrox-only, CrossFit-only). 2. Saying yes to hard, meaningful adventures changes identity and expands what feels possible. 3.

    Exercised: What Evolution Really Says About Exercise

    IIn this solo Thanksgiving re-release, Josh revisits Exercised by Harvard professor Daniel Lieberman—a fascinating look at the science of physical activity, rest, and health. As many people slow down for the holiday, Josh offers a thoughtful reminder that movement doesn’t need to be extreme to be meaningful. Using his Readwise app, he walks listeners through key highlights from the book, why humans evolved to conserve energy, and how our modern relationship with exercise often conflicts with the biology we inherited. From post-meal walks after a big Thanksgiving plate to debunking familiar fitness myths, this episode brings practical insights and a timely nudge toward simple, sustainable movement.Before diving in, Josh shares a quick note of gratitude for everyone who listens, supports, and shares the show. This community continues to grow because of you.5 Key Takeaways • Why “exercised” means more than just fitness—it also means stressed, anxious, and harassed. • How humans evolved to conserve energy and avoid unnecessary exertion. • The importance of low-effort, consistent movement like post-meal walks. • Why making exercise necessary and fun is more sustainable than forcing workouts. • Key myths busted: running and knees, sitting vs. standing, cardio vs. weights, and walking for weight loss.Timestamps00:00 START – Josh introduces his new “book review” style episodes.01:30 – Using Readwise to capture and revisit book highlights.04:50 – The meaning of “exercised” and the difference between voluntary vs. involuntary movement.07:20 – Why humans evolved to conserve energy and avoid unnecessary activity.09:40 – Postprandial walks and the health benefits of regular, natural movement.11:50 – Simple guidelines: make exercise fun, do some cardio, add weights, and keep it up as you age.12:30 – Debunking myths: sitting is the new smoking, running ruins your knees, cardio vs. weights.14:30 – Why walking can help with weight loss and even function as interval training.16:50 – How Lieberman frames exercise as a mismatch between modern life and evolution.18:30 – Josh’s reading habits, Goodreads profile, and book recommendations request.19:50 END – Wrap-up and invitation to share favorite books.Resources Mentioned • Exercised: Why Something We Never Evolved to Do Is Healthy and Rewarding by Daniel Lieberman – https://a.co/d/7GB9tA0 • Readwise app – https://readwise.io/ • Josh’s Goodreads profile – https://www.goodreads.com/The Japanese Walking Method: https://health.yahoo.com/wellness/fitness/exercise/articles/japanese-walking-fitness-trend-goes-161435203.html🌐 Connect with Joshua & SWTTPodcast Website: https://www.simplywalkthetalk.comYouTube: @simplywalkthetalkInstagram: @simplywalkthetalkTikTok: @simplywalkthetalkJoshua Holland: https://linktr.ee/joshuajholland

    How Jordan Alexander Ran a Half Marathon Barefoot (And What It Teaches Us About Foot Health)

    In this episode, Joshua Holland sits down with movement coach and athlete Jordan Alexander, who just completed something almost no one attempts: a 21-kilometer half marathon fully barefoot. Jordan shares the mental, physical, and spiritual journey behind this achievement — from God telling him to run it, to training in barefoot shoes, to switching to no shoes at all, to the surprising advantages (and painful sections) of running on grass and modern pavement.If you’ve ever wondered how to start barefoot running, how to transition safely, or how faith, family, and mindset can help you do something you didn’t think was possible, this episode delivers an inspiring and deeply practical roadmap.Featured Product — STEMREGENSTEMREGEN supports your body’s natural stem cell release — essential for recovery, tissue repair, and reducing inflammation.

Jordan ran an entire half marathon fully barefoot — no shoes, no socks — after months of training in barefoot shoes. 2. The transition to barefoot running must be progressive, starting with walking barefoot at home, then grass, then short runs. 3. Running on grass provided recovery and speed boosts, described by Jordan as “Mario Kart power-up moments.” 4. Faith was central to Jordan’s journey, including feeling called to do it before he felt physically ready. 5.

    The Truth About Stem Cells with Christian Drapeau

    In this episode, Joshua sits down with Christian Drapeau, the scientist behind STEMREGEN, to break down the real science of stem cell mobilization, why stem cells are your body’s primary repair system, and why most people misunderstand how recovery actually works. Christian explains the discovery he made more than 20 years ago, how plant compounds can increase circulating stem cells, and why this matters for athletes, aging, inflammation, chronic issues, and everyday wear and tear. Joshua shares his own recovery stories, including how STEMREGEN helped him bounce back from plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinopathy, and even the early stages of rhabdomyolysis. The two discuss skepticism, clinical data, real-world cases, and how to properly “front-load” your system to get the most from your body’s innate repair mechanisms.This is a high-level, honest, and accessible conversation about what actually supports repair, performance, and longevity.⸻STEMREGEN supports the release of your own adult stem cells—your body’s natural repair system. Developed from two decades of research, this plant-based formula helps increase circulating stem cells within hours, supporting recovery, tissue repair, and systemic resilience.Shop STEMREGEN: https://stemregen.coUse CODE: JOSH to save 15 percent.⸻5 KEY TAKEAWAYS 1. Stem cells are the body’s primary repair system—every injury, micro-trauma, and age-related decline involves stem cell activity. 2. STEMREGEN is a stem cell mobilizer, not stem cells themselves, and increases circulating stem cells within 1–3 hours. 3. Skepticism is normal, but both clinical data and real-world cases consistently show faster recovery when stem cells are mobilized. 4. Stacking modalities amplifies repair—PEMF, red light, grounding, and nutrition all work better when more stem cells are available. 5. Front-loading is key—higher doses for 30 days help the body catch up on accumulated repair needs before switching to maintenance.⸻TIMESTAMPS00:00 START00:01 Joshua introduces guest Christian Drapeau02:27 The rise of stem cell research and STEMREGEN03:33 Burnout, inflammation, and why recovery sometimes forces you to slow down05:21 What STEMREGEN actually is and how it works07:27 How stem cell mobilization accelerates repair10:59 Joshua’s skepticism before trying the product12:00 The origin story and early scientific discoveries15:28 Stem cells as the body’s innate repair mechanism16:31 Why simple concepts often face the most resistance20:23 Joshua’s Achilles and plantar fasciitis recovery story23:15 How modalities like PEMF and red light leverage stem cells27:23 The role of clinical trials vs. real-world cases30:45 What studies show about heart, lung, and liver repair35:21 How long it takes to feel changes39:17 Front-loading: how to take the product correctly41:31 How to structure doses throughout the day42:56 When to stay on maintenance vs. cycles44:21 Typical repair timelines and post-injury protocols47:53 Joshua’s rhabdomyolysis recovery story50:52 Closing reflections from Christian52:43 Outro and upcoming collaborations⸻RESOURCES MENTIONEDSTEMREGEN: https://stemregen.coCracking the Stem Cell Code (Christian’s book): https://www.amazon.com/dp/1630061879PEMF Research Overview: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.govRed Light Therapy Research: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.govJoin "Simply Walk The Talk" Discord Communityhttps://discord.gg/HattgC6feb🌐 Connect with Joshua & SWTTPodcast Website: https://www.simplywalkthetalk.comYouTube: @simplywalkthetalkInstagram: @simplywalkthetalkTikTok: @simplywalkthetalkJoshua Holland: https://linktr.ee/joshuajholland
