   Are We Killing Our Pets with Dr. Judy Morgan | Improvement Warrior Podcast Episode 91

   Are We Killing Our Pets with Dr. Judy Morgan | Improvement Warrior Podcast Episode 91 Are We Killing Our Pets? That’s the question Jason Yun poses in this powerful conversation with holistic veterinarian Dr. Judy Morgan on the Improvement Warrior Podcast. Conventional care—ultra-processed kibble, annual vaccines, chemical flea/tick preventatives, and corporate-driven protocols—has coincided with exploding rates of cancer, kidney disease, allergies, and shortened lifespans in dogs and cats. Dr. Morgan, with 40+ years of integrative experience, pulls no punches on what’s going wrong and how pet parents can take back control with species-appropriate food, smarter vaccination strategies, and natural therapies. Welcome back to the Improvement Warrior Podcast. If you’re new, this is the show where we go beyond calories and cardio and talk about the things that actually move the needle: light, mitochondria, circadian biology, and now… the animals who share our homes. I recently lost my own dog. That experience, combined with everything I’ve learned about how environment and inputs shape biology, made me ask a hard question: Are we accidentally killing our pets with the very care we think is protecting them? Today I’m sitting down with Dr. Judy Morgan, DVM, CVA, CVCP, CVFT—integrative veterinarian, bestselling author, and one of the loudest, most consistent voices for naturally healthy pets. She retired from clinical practice after 36 years and now educates millions of pet parents on real food, reduced chemical load, smarter vaccination, and traditional Chinese veterinary medicine.This conversation is going to challenge a lot of what you’ve been told at the vet’s office. Grab your notebook. Let’s go. Detailed Timestamp with Show Highlights 0:00 – 7:45 — Jason’s cold open, personal story of losing his dog, why this episode matters, and the core thesis: light + environment + inputs apply to pets too. 7:45 – 14:20 — Dr. Judy’s background: 40+ years in practice, shift from conventional to integrative, why she left clinical work to educate at scale. 14:20 – 22:10 — The rise in chronic disease: cancer, kidney failure, allergies, IBD. What’s changed in the last 20–30 years? 22:10 – 31:40 — Ultra-processed kibble and “all life stages” foods. Why feeding trials and marketing claims don’t equal health. Fresh, raw, and homemade options. 31:40 – 41:15 — Vaccines: core vs. non-core, titer testing vs. automatic boosters, over-vaccination risks, and informed consent. 41:15 – 49:50 — Flea, tick, and heartworm chemicals (especially isoxazolines). Detox realities and safer alternatives. 49:50 – 57:30 — Antibiotics, steroids, and “quick-fix” drugs. Gut microbiome damage and why treating the patient (not just the symptom) matters. 57:30 – 64:00 — Practical first steps every pet parent can take this week: food upgrades, asking for titers, reducing chemical load, light and outdoor time. 64:00 – 67:50 — Where to find Dr. Judy, her books, courses, store, and closing thoughts on becoming your pet’s advocate.

   Permanent Daylight Saving Time MUST BE STOPPED! Improvement Warrior Podcast Episode #90

   Permanent Daylight Saving Time MUST BE STOPPED! Improvement Warrior Podcast Episode #90 Hey Improvement Warriors, Jason Yun here — welcome back to the Improvement Warrior Podcast, Episode 90. I’m a former gym owner and food-and-exercise guy who finally saw the light (literally). Since 2018 I’ve been deep in the teachings of Dr. Jack Kruse and circadian biology. My core message never changes: your light environment is more important than food or exercise. In this episode we’re tackling something urgent and timely — the push for Permanent Daylight Saving Time. Politicians are once again trying to lock us into dark winter mornings forever. I’ll break down exactly why this is a biological disaster, how it wrecks your mitochondria, sleep, hormones, and energy, and what we must do to stop it. Grab your blue blockers, get some real sunlight if you can, and let’s go. Time Stamp and Highlights of the show 0:00 – 4:30 – Cold open & welcome. Jason introduces Episode 90 and the core thesis: Permanent Daylight Saving Time must be stopped. 4:30 – 12:00 – Quick recap of past DST episodes (especially Episode 82 “Daylight Saving Time Sucks”) and why the current political push (Sunshine Protection Act) is different and more dangerous. 12:00 – 22:00 – History of DST, energy-saving myths debunked, and the real biological cost of shifting clocks away from solar time. 22:00 – 34:00 – Deep dive into circadian biology: morning sunlight as the master zeitgeber, SCN, melatonin, cortisol, and why late winter sunrises under permanent DST create chronic misalignment (effectively permanent social jet lag). 34:00 – 42:00 – Health consequences: increased accidents, heart attacks, depression, cancer risk gradients across time zones, school performance, and mitochondrial dysfunction. 42:00 – 52:00 – Outdoor sunlight segment (shirtless, grounded). Live demonstration of proper morning light exposure and why dark mornings destroy the signal. 52:00 – 60:00 – Practical action steps: what individuals can do right now, how to contact legislators, better alternative (permanent Standard Time), and tie-in to full circadian lifestyle.

Your light environment is more important than food or exercise. Keep seeking the real sun, protect your nights, and I’ll see you in the next one. Stay an Improvement Warrior. Stay strong, stay positive, be the Improvement Warrior!

   T3 + Vitamin A = LDL + Pregnenolone = All Sex Steroid Hormones

   T3 + Vitamin A = LDL + Pregnenolone = All Sex Steroid Hormones The Critical Biochemical Pathway Most People Never Learn About In this episode of the Improvement Warrior Podcast (Substack (improvementwarrior.substack.com), Apple (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/improvement-warrior-podcast/id1558708319)), Jason Yun breaks down a critical biochemical pathway: how T3 (the active form of thyroid hormone) works with Vitamin A to help utilize LDL cholesterol, which then supports the production of pregnenolone — the precursor to all sex steroid hormones (testosterone, estrogen, progesterone, etc.). Jason explains the interconnected roles of these molecules in energy production, hormone balance, fertility, mood, and overall vitality. He connects this pathway to his core teachings on circadian biology, mitochondrial health, and the importance of proper light exposure. The discussion highlights why disruptions in this chain are common in modern life and offers practical insights into supporting it naturally through lifestyle, nutrition, and environment. Whether you’re dealing with low energy, hormonal imbalances, or simply want to understand how your body produces and regulates sex steroids at the deepest level, this episode delivers clear, actionable knowledge rooted in real biology rather than conventional approaches.

Penis Enlargement Explored With Dr. Joel Pash | Improvement Warrior Podcast Episode 81

Published 7 Oct 2025 · Transcript excerpt

[…] Well, the most common misconception would probably be that it's a bunch of guys come in with small penises right and or with self esteem issues. And certainly that could happen, right? I mean, we've seen have done over a thousand procedures. So I've seen everything. But that's not really the most common reason people come in. Most guys by definition have just normal anatomy, right? Like there's something range of a normal size and whether it's four inches long or eight inches long or whether it's like three and a half inches thick or six inches thick, they're all fine, right? They're all usable. […]
