How much cardio should you really be doing?

In Episode 117 of Your Ultimate Comeback, Brad and Raquel break down one of the most misunderstood topics in fitness: cardiovascular training.

If you’ve ever felt stuck between “I need more cardio” and “I don’t want to lose muscle,” this episode is for you.

Brad introduces a powerful but often overlooked method called Peripheral Heart Action (PHA) Training — a protocol dating back to the 1960s that alternates upper and lower body movements to create a powerful wave of circulation. The result?

• Improved cardiovascular health
• Better vascular function
• Leaner physique
• Stronger muscles
• Less joint stress than traditional cardio

You’ll learn:

• Why excessive traditional cardio can backfire
• How to get cardiovascular benefits without pounding your joints
• How to structure a PHA workout
• How often to use it
• How to apply progressive overload within this method
• Why this approach helped a client thrive after quadruple bypass surgery

If you're short on time but still want elite-level conditioning and muscle preservation, this conversation will change how you train.

Train smarter. Protect your joints. Build your comeback.

Inflammation is one of the most overlooked threats to your health, and it might be quietly running the show without you realizing it.

In Episode 116 of Your Ultimate Comeback, Brad and co-host Raquel break down the real reason so many people struggle with chronic joint pain, stiffness, and slow recovery. With over 50 million Americans dealing with joint pain, this episode dives into the concept of silent inflammation and why it’s not just an “aging issue,” but a lifestyle signal your body is sending you.

You’ll learn how inflammation is influenced by mobility, nutrition, hydration, sleep, stress, and recovery, and how small daily habits can either turn inflammation up or shut it down. Brad explains practical tools like Controlled Articular Rotations (CARS) for joint health, common food sensitivities that drive inflammation, and the role supplements and peptides can play when used responsibly.

This isn’t about chasing quick fixes. It’s about building an anti-inflammatory foundation that helps you move better, feel better, and live pain-free longer.

If you’re tired of feeling stiff, inflamed, or limited by your body, this episode gives you clear, actionable steps to start reclaiming your health.

Today’s episode of Your Ultimate Comeback is a personal milestone.

Brad is turning 50, and alongside Raquel, he reflects on what longevity actually means. Not just living longer, but living better. Having the energy to move, think clearly, manage stress, and truly enjoy life with family, friends, and the people who matter most.

Together, Brad and Raquel break down the five key areas that influence longevity:
training, nutrition, supplements, lifestyle habits, and mental well-being. Brad shares what he’s changed at this stage of life, what he’s doubled down on, and the common mistakes they see people make when they chase youth instead of vitality.

This conversation isn’t about looking younger.
It’s about feeling capable, resilient, and present as the years add up.

If you’re approaching midlife or already there, this episode is a grounded, honest reset on how to add more life to your years, not just more years to your life.
