This Thanksgiving, we're serving up an unforgettable encore presentation!

While you enjoy time with family and maybe even a little turkey, we're taking a moment to be especially grateful for incredible food—like the finest local Arizona beef. Join us and Wyatt Ross from Windmill Mountain Ranch as we dive back into the world of local beef and why Arizona's cuts are truly a culinary treasure.

Our grandfathers knew the value of sourcing from local butchers or ranchers and hanging beef to develop its nutty, tender perfection. At Windmill Mountain Ranch, every cut is aged for a minimum of 14 days and crafted with small local butchers to deliver a timeless, unforgettable taste you won't find elsewhere.

Tune in for this special holiday listen to explore the art of beef done right, especially the simply wonderful Smash Burger! We wish you and your family a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday.

Join registered dietitian and performance nutrition expert Megan Lautz, MS, RD, as she explores the unique nutritional demands of first responders — firefighters, law enforcement officers, paramedics, and other emergency personnel whose jobs require sustained physical exertion, high-stress decision-making, irregular schedules, and frequent sleep disruption.

Drawing from her work with tactical athletes and public-safety professionals, Megan breaks down evidence-based strategies to optimize energy, recovery, mental sharpness, immune function, and long-term health despite shift work, limited meal access, and adrenaline-fueled environments. Whether you're a first responder yourself or simply someone facing a demanding lifestyle, you'll discover practical, realistic ways to fuel your body for resilience.

This compelling podcast episode translates cutting-edge sports nutrition science into actionable advice everyone can use to perform better, feel better, and stay healthier — no matter how chaotic life gets. Lautz sprinkles the conversation with fun and humor.
