09:34 – Wrap-Up & Outro

Top Takeaways: Type 2 Diabetes is often reversible with lifestyle changes alone. Post-meal walking is one of the most underrated blood sugar hacks. Eat your veggies first, then protein, then carbs to flatten glucose spikes. Berberine is a potent, natural supplement—just take it with meals. Metformin & GLP-1 drugs have a place, but aren’t the first line of defense. Muscle is your metabolic engine—resistance training increases glucose storage. Affordable nutrition is possible: frozen veggies + bulk ground beef = win.

Summary: In this episode, Coach Kyle sits down with Adam, the founder of ZAAG supplements, to talk all things allostatic load, burnout, and performance optimization. They unpack how chronic stress affects the body's ability to recover, how nutrient absorption is impaired under pressure, and the crucial difference between doing everything right and doing what your body actually needs.

Adam shares insights into the foggy state of burnout, describing it as “running a high-performance system in low battery mode.” He also walks through why digestion and nutrient uptake are disrupted when the body is overwhelmed, and how that challenges the notion that a "food first" approach is always sufficient.

They discuss HRV (Heart Rate Variability) patterns as a reliable indicator of how ready your body is to perform and why consistency in those metrics often matters more than a single high number. Kyle opens up about his own experience with burnout, tied to mercury poisoning, and how removing that burden helped him start to recover.

00:00 – Intro to Allostasis & Stress Buckets 05:24 – Understanding Allostatic Load in Performance 10:12 – When the Body Stops Functioning Normally Under Stress 17:05 – Burnout: The System Fog, Nutrient Absorption & Misleading Metrics 18:42 – Recognizing Burnout: Sleep, Memory, Energy & HRV Fluctuations 20:15 – Kyle’s Story: Mercury Toxicity, Hormonal Crash & Recovery 22:41 – Kaizen Approach: Tiny Tweaks Over Time 23:23 – Hacks to Increase Bucket Size & Drain It Faster 25:28 – Kyle's Experience with ZAAG: Crash, Reset, Then Benefits 27:30 – Caffeine, Nicotine & the Temporary Bank Balance Boost 29:02 – Energy Timing: Caffeine + Carbs = Strategic Synergy 30:12 – Final Thoughts from Adam & How to Learn More

• Burnout isn’t just mental: It physically affects nutrient absorption, hormone balance, and cognitive clarity.
• Food-first isn’t always enough: Especially if the body’s stress systems are suppressing digestion and absorption.
• HRV matters—but patterns matter more: Watch for variability in your variability, not just a single-day score.
• Stress management is multifactorial: Nutrients, habits, and mental reset tools all contribute.
• Supplements like ZAAG can help reduce allostatic load and improve recovery without relying solely on stimulants.
• Simple is powerful: Choose one habit to change, stabilize it, then stack the next one.

• Learn more about Adam’s supplement ZAAG
• Research on Allostasis & Allostatic Load
• HRV Tools: WHOOP, Oura, Garmin, etc.

Summary:

In this stripped-down episode of the Peak Performance Podcast, Dr. K and Coach Kyle dive into the real story behind heavy metals, why they’re toxic, how they mimic essential minerals, and the best ways to test for them accurately. They debunk common testing myths, explain the science of how these metals interfere with your body, and break down how to interpret results the right way. If you’ve ever wondered about mercury, lead, or why you’re chronically fatigued for “no reason,” this is a must-listen.

Key Takeaways:

• Heavy metals mimic essential minerals like calcium and molybdenum, creating dysfunction in your cells.
• Toxic load is individualized—some people can handle more than others before symptoms appear.
• Symptoms often appear suddenly when your body hits its personal threshold for toxins.
• Most common tests (blood, hair, and urine) can be misleading if not done or interpreted correctly.
• The gold standard for testing is a provoked urine challenge using IV chelation.
• Treating heavy metal toxicity involves both removing the metals and replacing depleted minerals.
• Environmental exposure is unavoidable—testing is the key to knowing what’s in your system.

Summary:

In this stripped-down episode of the Peak Performance Podcast, Dr. K and Coach Kyle break down comprehensive lab testing—what it really means, what’s actually necessary, and how to get the best results without wasting money on unnecessary tests. They expose the limitations of AI-driven lab interpretations, discuss insurance vs. cash-pay options, and explain why a personalized approach is key to optimizing your health. If you’ve ever been overwhelmed by lab reports or frustrated with vague test results, this episode is for you.

Key Takeaways:

• Comprehensive lab testing ≠ testing for everything—it’s about being strategic and focusing on what truly matters.
• Many AI-based online lab services lack contextual interpretation, which a qualified practitioner can provide.
• Insurance can cover a broad range of tests—working with an expert can help reduce out-of-pocket costs.
• If you don’t have insurance, a streamlined cash-pay panel can still provide 70%+ of the critical data you need.
• Lab testing should be personalized and retested only as needed—not overused or ignored.
