Measuring the Journey
Send us Fan Mail Success is often tied to a destination: a number, a goal, a title, a finish line. But what happens when the destination keeps moving? In this episode, I reflect on the way we measure progress, the trap of comparing ourselves to others, and how easy it is to overlook how far we’ve...

Turning 50 and Rethinking What Comes Next
Send us Fan Mail As I approach my 50th birthday, I’ve been thinking about why I started Uncommonly Remarkable, what the show has taught me, and what I want it to become. The podcast began as a way to understand the lives of remarkable people—not just what they accomplished, but how they became…

What is a Peptide, Really?
Send us Fan Mail Recommended next listen: In Conversation: Daniel Tausan — Peptides, GLP-1s, and Stress Peptides seem to be everywhere. They're discussed in conversations about healing, GLP-1 medications, hormones, healthy aging, and longevity—but if someone asked you to explain what a peptide...

Peptides, GLP-1s, and Stress: What Actually Improves Your Health?
Send us Fan Mail Peptides are everywhere right now. GLP-1 medications continue to dominate health conversations. And stress may be having a bigger impact on long-term health than most people realize. In this episode, I sit down with Daniel Tausan to explore what peptides actually are, how they…

When Self-Help Stops Working
Send us Fan Mail Most people assume that if something works, they should keep doing it. And for a while, that’s true. Routines, habits, and structure can help you manage stress and bring things back under control. But there’s a point where those same approaches stop producing the same result—and...
-
Not All Struggle Is the Same
Send us Fan Mail Most people collapse very different experiences into the same category — stress, burnout, depression — and assume they’re all versions of the same thing. They’re not. And when you misread what you’re actually experiencing, the response doesn’t match. Sometimes that means...
-
Why People Keep Falling Off the Wagon
Send us Fan Mail If you have ever tried to change how you eat, how you train, or how you take care of yourself, there is a moment that almost always shows up where it feels like you have stopped or fallen off. In this episode, I look at that moment more closely. Most people interpret it as a…

You Can’t See Your Own Health Clearly
Send us Fan Mail Last time, I talked about how the visual standard for the human body has changed over time, and how what looks strong or healthy today would have looked unusual just a few decades ago. But even if you understand that those standards are distorted, there’s a deeper problem: most...
-
When the Human Body Became an Unrealistic Standard
Send us Fan Mail very generation carries an idea of what a healthy or strong human body is supposed to look like. The surprising part is how dramatically those expectations change even though the biology of the human body remains largely the same. From ancient sculpture to action figures, from...
-
Vision Is Infrastructure
Send us Fan Mail I have intentionally avoided talking about eyes on this show — even though I am an optometrist — because I never wanted the conversation to narrow into prescriptions and lenses. But vision is larger than refractive error. Vision determines autonomy. It affects how safely you…
more -
You’re Asking the Wrong First Question
Send us Fan Mail We recently talked about protein as infrastructure — an ongoing expense tied to what we expect our bodies to maintain. That framing still stands. But there’s a broader mistake that often shows up before we even get to the accounting. When we want to improve muscle, recovery, or...
-
Protein Isn’t the First Question
Send us Fan Mail Protein dominates health conversations — but are we focusing on the wrong lever? In this conversation, Carson and I unpack muscle preservation, hormones, fiber, and where peptides actually fit into long-term health. Protein is one of the most talked-about nutrients in modern…

Sleep Loss Changes Your Mind Before You Notice
Send us Fan Mail Most people who say they function fine on six hours of sleep are not lying. They are describing how it feels. The problem is that sleep loss alters perception before it causes obvious collapse. I explore how sleep architecture recalibrates emotional regulation, decision-making…
more -
Protein Is an Ongoing Cost
Send us Fan Mail The body doesn’t follow nutrition rules. It keeps accounts. You can also checkout the video version of this episode here: https://youtu.be/ClVdbSaG_8Q Protein is one of the places where that accounting becomes visible. Muscle tissue is constantly being built and broken down, and...
-
Why Supplements Don’t Work the Way People Expect
Send us Fan Mail Most people take supplements expecting clear, predictable results. In practice, supplements rarely work that way — not because they’re useless, but because expectations are misaligned with how the body actually adapts. In this episode, I explain: Why supplements feel inconsistent...

Pillars Break. Pyramids Endure.
Send us Fan Mail This is an authored monologue from Uncommonly Remarkable℠. Burnout doesn’t usually come from a lack of motivation. It shows up in people who are capable, disciplined, and consistent—often the ones holding the most responsibility. In this episode, I explore why burnout is often...
-
Why Most Fitness Plans Fail (It’s Not Discipline)
Send us Fan Mail This is an authored monologue from Uncommonly Remarkable℠. Most people don’t fail at fitness because they lack discipline — they fail because they’re running a system that was never designed for real human lives. In this episode, Artis explains why motivation-based fitness plans...
-
When Discipline Is a Coping Mechanism
Send us Fan Mail This is an authored monologue from Uncommonly Remarkable. We tend to recognize mental health struggles when they look like crisis — when things fall apart, when someone withdraws, when distress becomes visible. But many people struggle in a different way. They function. They...
-
Personal Health Is Still Your Responsibility — Even in a Broken System
Send us Fan Mail This is an authored monologue from Uncommonly Remarkable. Personal health responsibility is not about blame — it’s about clarity. In this episode, I explore the line between what healthcare systems are built to do and what they can never fully own for us. Acute care saves lives....

Why Gratitude Changes the Body Before It Changes the Mind
Send us Fan Mail This is an authored monologue from Uncommonly Remarkable. Gratitude is usually treated as a mindset shift — but the body experiences it first. Chronic stress, dissatisfaction, and vigilance create a real physiological cost over time, even when we don’t feel “burned out.” In this...

Your “Normal” Might Be Symptoms — and Your Gut Quietly Runs the Show
Send us Fan Mail A lot of people don’t feel great — but because they’ve felt that way for years, they call it “normal.” Chronic fatigue. Bloating. Brain fog. Low drive. Relying on caffeine just to function. None of that feels urgent enough to act on, so it becomes a baseline instead of a signal.…
more -
Your Biology Isn’t Broken — Your Feedback Loops Are
Send us Fan Mail Most health problems don’t appear overnight. They develop quietly—as signals—long before symptoms show up. In this episode, I explore a different way of thinking about health: not as diets, hacks, or genetic destiny, but as feedback, resilience, and direction over time. We talk...

Ep. 65 Supplements That Actually Work with James Garland
Send us Fan Mail You move, you try to eat well… and then you hit the supplement aisle and everything falls apart. Every bottle looks the same. Every label promises “immune support” and “optimal wellness.” And somewhere between RDI, “doctor recommended,” and TikTok trends, it’s hard to know what...
