🎙️ EP#305 | DSD | Interval Walking, ChatGPT’s Glow-Up & Why Religion Isn’t the Problem

From Karate Kid throwbacks to bouncer-turned-Pope revelations, this episode dives into everything from peak health hacks to religious unity—and it's got layers. We kick things off with a look at the Japanese-developed Interval Walking Training method, a smarter, more efficient alternative to the classic 10k steps. Backed by real science, it’s cardio with a PhD—delivering major gains in blood pressure, sleep, and even stroke risk reduction.

Then it’s onto tech talk, where the host shares a hilarious (and oddly heartfelt) live convo with ChatGPT, including reflections on AI's evolution and how it's powering research for his second book, tentatively titled "Implement This." The insights into how AI tools are reshaping health content creation are 🔥—especially for anyone working on digital wellness or publishing.

Finally, things take a deeper turn into the intersection of faith, division, and unity. From reflections on Passion of the Christ to organizing interfaith debates with past guests like Rabbi Zeldman and JSlay USA, this is a bold, raw dive into religion’s real role in modern society—and why it’s not to blame for division. Plus, Pope stories, incline walking tips, political hypocrisy, and a surprising Easter realization round out a packed episode.

🔥 Top 5 Key Points:

• Interval Walking Training = 3 min slow + 3 min brisk for 30 mins → 4x better for blood pressure than 10k steps!

• ChatGPT's impact on research: AI is powering the writing of the new book “Implement This.”

• The origin of the 10k steps myth—it’s all branding, not science.

• Faith vs. Division: Politicians profit from religious division, not true believers.

• Incline treadmill walking tips + why it might be the ultimate indoor cardio hack.
