Reps are easy. Biology is the hard part. In this episode, we break down CrossFit 2.0 — a framework for training both general fitness and the sport side of CrossFit. For everyday athletes, it’s about consistency, nutrition, and counteracting sedentary habits. For competitive athletes, it’s about smarter training: building tissue, mobility, and efficiency to improve performance without risking burnout. Learn how to train with purpose and make the other 23 hours of your day work for you.

Nearly 80% of people will face back pain in their lifetime — but most of what you’ve been told about “bulging discs” and surgery is flat-out wrong. In this episode, we break down what’s actually happening in your spine, why imaging can be misleading, and why smart rehab beats the scalpel in the long run. If you’ve ever wondered whether you really need surgery, this is the episode that could change your path.

Why does exercise make us feel so good? In this Project M.O.V.E. episode, we reveal how movement and light work together to unlock your brain’s “happy chemicals” — endorphins, dopamine, serotonin, endocannabinoids, and BDNF. Discover the science behind the runner’s high, the calm of yoga, and the long-term mental health benefits of regular training. Learn practical ways to use movement as medicine for depression, anxiety, ADHD, and stress, and design a daily routine that fuels focus, mood, and resilience.

Most fitness and rehab programs focus on short-term results. At Project M.O.V.E., we’re building a movement revolution.

In this foundational episode, Dr. Josh Wideman and Matt Trimarke introduce the M.O.V.E. Framework — four principles designed to improve performance, prevent injury, and keep you moving for life:

• Movement is non-negotiable.

• Optimization respects your tissues and tradeoffs.

• Variability builds resilience.

• Education empowers you to take charge of your health.

Whether you’re an athlete, coach, or simply want to move better in daily life, this episode lays the foundation for rethinking fitness and rehab from the ground up.

Competition isn’t training — it’s the ultimate test and pure external display of your sport. Training builds skill, strength, and internal capacity, but competition is about maximizing short-term performance, even if it means sacrificing tomorrow. In this Project M.O.V.E. Podcast episode, we share proven strategies for competition prep: how to adjust training 4–6 weeks out, taper in the final week, nail your warmup routine on game day, and use rapid recovery methods to perform across multi-day tournaments.

Your workout isn't the only frontier of performance. This episode of Project M.O.V.E. dives into Optimization: Precision Over Prescription, revealing why sleep is your #1 recovery tool and the non-negotiable foundation for human resilience. We'll dissect how sleep directly impacts strength, endurance, reaction time, and cognitive focus, and explore the hormonal alchemy happening in deep NREM (Stage N3), where HGH peaks and tissue growth and muscle repair accelerate. Discover how precise sleep strategies are vital for managing training load, recovery strategies, and overall performance, equipping you to perform smarter, not just harder.

What if the light you see matters as much as the food you eat? In this episode of the Project M.O.V.E. Podcast, we break down how blue light, UV, and red light set your circadian clock—and why artificial LEDs can throw it off. Learn how to use natural light as a daily reset for hormones, metabolism, and energy.

Your “golden years” won’t be golden if you let time win. The Centenarian Decathlon is your battle plan to outsmart the final decade of life—built on the four pillars of longevity: aerobic efficiency, VO₂ max, strength and resilience, mobility and stability. In this episode, we reveal the benchmarks that predict independence, the minimum weekly training that buys your freedom, and how to wage a strategic war on the physical decay that sidelines most people long before their last breath.
