The number of cancer survivors in the US alone exceeds 15.5 million—a figure expected to double in the coming decades. The general role of exercise for our health & wellbeing, but what about for the individual in the midst of or the tail end of the cancer journey – does it play an important role there? If so, in what ways? Why isn’t it generally emphasized as part of the treatment protocol? And what recent advancements in the research might be changing that historical trend? Today’s guest, Dr. Kristin Campbell, has spent her career diving into these and related questions. She holds a PhD in exercise physiology, a license in physical therapy and is a professor at the University of British Columbia where she holds an appointment in the Cancer Control Program. Her research focuses on the role of exercise in cancer prevention, rehabilitation and survivorship. I had an opportunity to hear her lecture in person recently and was very happy when she agreed to join us here as a guest. I have a feeling this is one of those episodes you’re going to want to share with family and friends.

Delayed gratification. When it comes to health, wellness and high performance, it’s the holy grail, right? Well, not so fast. Back in 1970, psychologist and Stanford professor Walter Mischel (‘mishel”) performed the marshmallow study. It purported to show that children who were able to delay gratification by choosing not to eat a marshmallow when left alone in a room in order to earn 2 marshmallows went on to garner greater success across a range of areas, including school and careers. It’s been a cornerstone concept for speakers, coaches and consultants for decades. But can it go too far? Today’s guest, Dr. Jacqueline Rifkin has spent her career answering that question, studying how we manage our resources, including time, money and even experiences. Her findings – which she recently shared in a fascinating Wall Street Journal article – may not exactly align with what you’ve been taught. Maybe there is a time and a place to eat that marshmallow afterall. We’ll talk about the other side of delayed gratification, the specialness spiral and more, and I think you’ll be surprised, and perhaps encouraged, by what she has to share.

Dr. Rifkin has her PhD in Marketing from Duke University and has done extensive work in both marketing and consumer research market. She is an assistant professor of marketing at Cornell University, teaching consumer behavior at both the undergrad and graduate levels.

Today’s interview w/ authors and emergency room physicians Dr. Adaira Landry and Dr. Resa Lewiss focuses on the concept of Microskills, which are built on a singular principle: Every big goal, complicated task, healthy habit, and even what we think of as character traits can be broken down into small, learnable skills that can be practiced and incorporated in real-time. They’ll share why success does not have to mean sacrificing our own wellbeing – but rather that can be the key to success in the first place.

Dr. LANDRY is an assistant professor at Harvard Medical School and an emergency medicine physician at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and co-founded Write In Color, a non-profit teaching others the art and skill of writing. She lives in Boston with her three daughters and husband.

Dr. LEWISS’ resume is similarly jam-packed. Among a long list of accomplishments, she is a professor of emergency medicine at The University of Alabama at Birmingham and hosts the Visible Voices Podcast. She lives in Philadelphia.

Combined, Drs. Landry and Lewiss have written for CNBC, Fast Company, Harvard Business Review, Nature, Science, Slate, STAT News, Teen Vogue, Vogue, USA Today, and the Philadelphia Inquirer, and been quoted and featured in The New York Times, The New Yorker, The Guardian, and the Huffington Post.

5% of the US population will have a total hip replacement by age 80 and an additional 10% will have a total knee replacement. Those are big numbers that influence both athletes and non-athletes alike and creates natural curiosity on a number of fronts: Is it inevitable? Are there things we can do to reduce our odds? How quickly should we move forward when experiencing pain? How active can we be post-surgery? Today we’re fortunate to have orthopedic surgeon Dr. HJ Luks joining us to discuss these questions and more. He’s the author of Longevity, Simplified, is a great follow on Twitter, and while I’ve known hundreds of surgeons over my years as a physical therapist, Luks brings a fresh, new, myth-busting perspective that I’m certain will open your eyes to new options you’d not previously considered.

David Goggins is an incredibly fascinating individual, with a life story that reads like the script from a Rocky film. The retired Navy Seal, best-selling author and YouTube no-nonsense motivator endured an abusive childhood and a learning disability early on. At age 19 he spent 4 years in the Air Force but struggled after being discharged, as his weight ballooned from 175 to 290 and he felt he was in a dead-end job. At 24, he lost 100+ lbs, became a Navy Seal and later also graduated from Army Ranger School. As an endurance athlete, he’s completed over 60 ultra-marathons, triathlons and ultra-triathlons, at one time held the world record for pull-ups in 24 hours with 4,030, is the author of 2 best-selling books and has millions of followers on social media.

He’s spent the past 2 decades carrying the torch of no-nonsense, “stay hard” advice for countless millions through his books and social media outlets. If high intensity is your thing, you’re likely a Goggins fan. I’ve been intrigued by him for years, as we’ve raced many similar events and my PhD focused on the subject to which Goggins is most closely associated: mental toughness. In this special episode of the Catalyst 360 podcast, we’ll be taking a closer look at the strategies Goggins admonishes, how the science supports and occasionally conflicts with his guidance, and what it might mean for you in your own life moving forward.
