The way we think about exercise has changed. No longer just about sculpted muscles, fitness is now an essential tool for longevity and vitality. In this episode, we sit down with movement and exercise expert Pete McCall, who shares his journey from Capitol Hill to the fitness world, bringing decades of expertise in Pilates, the Franklin Method, somatic training, and Feldenkrais.

Pete breaks down the science of strength training for metabolic health, the importance of mobility over flexibility, and why high-intensity training (HIIT) can slow the aging process. He also emphasizes the critical role of recovery—because movement isn’t just about working out, but also about how we rest, refuel, and recharge.

How can we create a world where no child goes hungry? In this eye-opening conversation, Barry sits down with Ertharin Cousin, former Executive Director of the World Food Program, to discuss the realities of food insecurity and how we can build a more sustainable food system. As one of the world’s leading voices in the fight against hunger, Ertharin shares her journey from global policymaking to pioneering market-based food solutions with Food Systems for the Future. She explains why, despite producing enough food globally, 3.1 billion people still cannot afford a healthy diet and how climate change, war, and economic barriers are making this crisis worse.

The conversation explores the urgent need for systemic change, including shifting farming subsidies, promoting regenerative agriculture, and making nutritious food more affordable and accessible to everyone—not just the affluent. Barry and Ertharin also discuss how consumers play a vital role in demanding better food systems and why food security isn’t just a humanitarian issue but a matter of public health, environmental sustainability, and national security. With powerful insights and practical ways to take action, this episode will leave you inspired to be part of the solution.

Our bodies are designed for movement, but modern life keeps us sitting, slouching, and straining against gravity. In this enlightening conversation, movement specialist Tom McCook shares how we can reclaim our body’s natural intelligence through mindful movement, posture awareness, and practical daily practices.

Tom introduces us to the Franklin Method, an approach that combines movement, imagery, and evolutionary biomechanics to optimize how we move. He also explains why feet are the key to balance, how posture is a dynamic relationship with gravity, and why pain is often just a request for movement.
