• A Spy Story: The CIA Case Officer Who Changed The Fitness World

  When Emily McCarthy tracked down rebel leaders in West Africa, she had no idea her time in the CIA may lead to a discovery that would forever change the health world.The story you will hear today is a spy story ... a love story ... and an American success story of a veteran-owned company called "GORUCK."If you have seen someone walking on the side of the road carrying a weighted-backpack or vest, you can trace the origin of this type of exercise to GORUCK ~ the creation of Jason and Emily McCarthy. Jason served in the U.S. Army Special Forces (better known as the Green Berets) and Emily worked in the clandestine services as a case officer. From deployments overseas to the rocky shores of marriage and entrepreneurship, the two persevered and pioneered a new way to both exercise and gain community. Emily walks us through the various chapters of their story to mark not only the release of the new SPY RUCK for women, but also mark a week when we celebrate the veterans who have served this nation.Check out the new SPY RUCKCheck out GORUCK~~~SUPPORT OUR MISSION:Love nonpartisan news?

• We Got The Scoop On "One of the Biggest Mistakes in Modern Medicine"

  Back in September, we sat down with the head of the FDA, Dr. Marty Makary, to talk about a host of different hot health topics in America. An area we wanted to focus? Hormone Replacement Therapy or HRT. One of Dr. Makary's first moves as FDA commissioner was to hold a public panel on what he has now called "one of the biggest mistakes in modern medicine" - black box warnings that the U.S. government placed on hormone replacement therapies, that he believes deterred doctors and women from using these medications to treat life-altering symptoms. Today, the FDA announced, for the first time in decades, it would initiate removing these warnings from HRTs in the hopes of making the treatments more available and accessible to physicians and patients alike. Here's the entire portion of our interview that focuses on hormone replacement therapies, so you can hear for yourself why Dr. Makary feels so passionately about making a move on this medicine, at this time, for not only American women, but the country at large.Listen or watch our complete 1-hour sit-down by clicking on this link.
