Episode 150 -

In this episode of Bioenergetics Beat, Heather Gray talks with Croft Edwards about somatic coaching, embodiment, and why leadership is a full-body experience. They explore how our physical posture and somatic patterns shape the way we see the world, make decisions, and show up in both personal and professional relationships.

Croft shares his path from the U.S. Army to ontological coaching, and how he discovered that the body plays a central role in creating change. He breaks down the concept behind his book, The Liquid Accordion, explaining how our bodies are in a constant state of expansion and contraction as we move through life. Listeners will come away with a fresh perspective on how physical self-awareness can support personal growth and more intentional leadership.

What You'll Learn in This Episode:

• Somatic coaching and what it means to coach "in, with, and through the body"

• How body posture and shape influence mood, perception, and decision-making

• The concept of the "liquid accordion" and cellular expansion and contraction

• Why leadership is an embodied practice, not just a cognitive one

• The role of practice and beginner's mindset in creating lasting behavioral change

• How self-awareness in the body supports better self-leadership

Croft's coaching experience includes coaching over 1000 leaders in all levels of organizations from individual contributors to frontline managers, to senior leaders and C-Suite executives and military flag officers. He has over 10,000 documented coaching hours with leaders. He also facilitates leadership, coaching, and behavioral based courses and programs with firms from government and the military to both for profit and non-profit organizations. He is certified in multiple leadership assessments. He is also the author of two books: The Liquid Accordion: A Somatic and Embodiment Primer for Coaching In, With, and Through the Body for Coaches and Leaders, and LeadershipFlow: Perfectly Square: A Story About Learning to Lead and Transforming a Company.

Croft has earned a B.A. in Financial Administration from Michigan State University; a M.B.A. from Auburn University; and a M.A. of Civil War Studies, with an emphasis in Leadership and Command, from the American Military University.

Episode 149 -

In this episode of the Bioenergetics Beat Podcast, Heather Gray sits down with Shalin Shah, CEO of Marius Pharmaceuticals, to discuss oral testosterone replacement therapy, the growing crisis of testosterone deficiency in men, and why this hormone has been unfairly stigmatized for decades.

Shalin shares how his own low testosterone and an investment opportunity led him to develop Kyzatrex, an FDA-approved oral testosterone that bypasses the liver through lymphatic absorption. He explains why testosterone levels in men have dropped 50% over five decades, how deficiency is showing up in men as young as their 30s, and why testosterone may be the single most telling biomarker for overall metabolic health.

Throughout the episode, listeners will learn:

• Why testosterone levels are declining in younger and younger men

• How oral testosterone works through lymphatic absorption without liver toxicity

• The difference between injectable, gel, and oral replacement options

• The connection between testosterone, cardiovascular health, and insulin sensitivity

• Why baseline testing and self-advocacy are essential first steps

• How restoring testosterone can create a virtuous cycle for energy, fitness, and focus

About Shalin Shah:

Shalin Shah is the CEO of Marius Pharmaceuticals, widely known as "The Metabolic CEO." Shalin has spent decades immersed in hormone replacement therapy, leading the charge to destigmatize testosterone, a hormone long considered taboo and unfairly miscategorized, when in fact testosterone serves a laundry list of critical functions for both men and women. Shah recently participated in the FDA's expert panel on men's health and testosterone therapy and has been an outspoken advocate for better access to treatment, testing, and education for patients and physicians alike.
