The CEO and Co-founder of KAATSU, Steven Muñatones had the goal of launching KAATSU globally.
In 2014, his dream came true when he introduced KAATSU to the Department of Defense, NASA, CIA, FBI, dozens of NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL and MLS teams, and over 80 universities.
Today, Steven has taught KAATSU applications and benefits to thousands including Navy SEALs and Olympic gold medalists as well as people in their 80’s and 90’s.
With KAATSU, Steven has been able to enable a myriad of people from wounded warriors and paraplegics, to Olympic and professional athletes to rehabilitate more quickly, effectively and conveniently.
He has seen KAATSU enable older, sedentary Baby Boomers to improve their blood circulation and muscle tone. After Steven experienced a widowmaker heart attack in 2016, he utilized KAATSU himself as cardiac therapy, proving unheard-of confidence in the blood flow restriction (BFR) modality.
Steven’s passion for health and fitness stems from his own background.
He was an NCAA Division I water polo player and swimmer, and is a Guinness World Record holder, inductee in the International Marathon Swimming Hall of Fame and the Ice Swimming Hall of Fame, and the recipient of the Poseidon Award from the International Swimming Hall of Fame.
He coached the USA Swimming national team at 9 international competitions, including 4 world championships, served as an NBC commentator at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, and founded WOWSA, the World Open Water Swimming Association.
Will is the Founder and CEO of IQBAR, a startup that makes delicious vegan and plant-based protein bars and hydration mixes that nourish your brain and body.
Their products sell in 8,000+ locations, including CVS and Kroger, and on all major e-commerce platforms, including Amazon, where they have earned the Amazon Choice badge.
In 2017, IQBAR had the highest-grossing food Kickstarter campaign, which brought in $70,000, and they’ve raised $10M+ to date.
Each IQBAR contains 6 brain nutrients, including Lions Mane (a mushroom used in traditional Chinese medicine as a brain tonic), Omega 3s, Choline (a molecule known for its ability to improve cognitive function), and less than 1g of sugar. The bars are also kosher, paleo-friendly, keto, and free from GMOs, gluten, dairy, soy, and sugar alcohols.
Millions of IQBAR consumers have found that the bars increase mental and physical performance, whether they’re working late, preparing for a marathon, or just doing errands.
Will became fascinated by the human brain and how it works while studying psychology as an undergrad at Harvard. Then, in his mid-20s, when working in the software industry, he began to have chronic cognitive problems, including daily headaches and brain fog, that he linked to his high-carb diet. He staged an amazing cognitive recovery by cutting out staples like bread, rice, and pasta from his diet.
In 2017, Will started experimenting in his apartment kitchen on a protein bar optimized for brain and body nutrition after failing to find ready-to-eat foods that matched his new diet. After countless iterations, he successfully launched a Kickstarter campaign that raised over 700% of its goal to bring IQBARs to the world.
Welcome to another weekend short of The Matter Over Mind Experience
I am your host, Master Trainer & Weight Management Expert, Narado Zeco Powell
This weekend, I want to quickly discuss Cellular Autopahgy
There seems to be contradiction around this topic
Understanding this topic is vital for your health so I aim to clear this up, including when do we actually reach Autopahgy.
Let’s begin by defining The topic
Some say Autopahgy is our body’s recycling system.
You can also define it as a natural process in which the body’s cells clean out any damaged or unnecessary components.
There are many ways to define Autopahgy, we must know that it’s vital for sustainable health.
We tend to think that Autopahgy only happens during a fast, but it occurs within your body at all times, but there are ways to expedite it.
Exercising, fasting, restricting your calorie intake, or following a ketogenic diet can stimulate the process.
The most recent research tells us that for most people Autopahgy ramps up after 16-24 hours of fasting, while other research shows that it can take up to 4 days for some people
Don’t let this scare you
Remember to follow 12-14 hours for women and 14-16 for men.
Do not trying to keep fasting to force Autopahgy
This can lead to numerous health issues which defeats the purpose
Welcome to another weekend short of The Matter Over Mind Experience
This is your host, Master Trainer & Weight Management Expert, Narado Zeco Powell
This weekend I will quickly talk about Intensive Exercise.
When many of us want to lose weight, we work out too much or sometimes try to outwork a bad diet
Let’s discuss what happens when we do too much and what the winning formula is.
Let’s begin !
How much is too much?
This depends per person of course
I will split this into 2
Strength training vs cardio
Strength training to the point where you are breaking down muscle beyond the point of properly recovering is too much
This rarely happens if you have a solid diet and supplement protocol
In my article on exercise intensity I explained the importance of a positive net protein balance
Basically that means that to build lean muscle you must eat enough for muscle synthesis so your body doesn’t break down muscle due to lack of animo acids
I will explain more when I explain the winning formula
Now, let’s discuss cardio, because that’s where most of us go wrong
Same can happen when we break down muscle and many people who are trying to lose weight, do so much cardio to that point
There are other things that can happen
In this PubMed article titled, How Much Exercise is Too Much,
Physical activity sometimes is accompanied by certain arrhythmias – premature beats or atrial fibrillation (AF).
Less often such activity may result in life-threatening arrhythmias – specifically ventricular fibrillation.”
This is probably due to the stress on your cardio system due to high cortisol and adrenaline
Now, let discuss the winning formula
There are benefits to both styles of training, however, many people focus on only 1 style of training.
This leads to deficiencies in their training program.
We need a healthy dose of both styles of training.
I recommend strength training at the base of your program, especially for weight loss & building lean muscle.
I generally recommend strength training, done in lower zones, at least 4 to 5 times per week.
I recommend high intensity about 2 times per week, 3 max.
This will give you the benefits of anaerobic exercise.
You can do high intensity as a separate session, i.e in the mornings or after a strength training session. In addition, your sessions can be short, i.e 10 minutes of intense rowing or a combination of jogging and sprinting.
The last item to consider is maintaining a positive net protein balance.
This means eating adequate protein and supplementing as needed.
This depends on factors such as style of training & activity level.
Most healthy & active individuals can eat up to .75 to 1 gram of protein per pound of body-weight.
The rule I follow is whatever weight I am aiming for, that’s how much protein I eat
Keep in mind of you have underlying health issues and speak to a medical professional before making any dietary changes

Welcome to another episode of The Matter Over Mind Experience
I am your host, Master Trainer & Weight Management Expert, Narado Zeco Powell
This episode is Q & A 3
I will answer questions from listeners & followers who emailed or sent me a DM
If you have questions about health, fitness & fat-loss, feel free to email me @ narado@zecohealth.com or DM on my IG @zecohealth
Let’s begin
Questions:
I am 18 & have been trying to build muscle & gain weight. My parents say I am skinny because of my age, but I will not accept that.
I eat a lot, but it still doesn’t work.
Someone in the gym asked this question
This is a good question, because when we talk about weight management, we mostly talk about weight loss, but some people struggle to gain weight as well
I will explain how I answered this question.
First, I explained that he needs to strength train at least 5 to 6 days per week & limit cardio
In addition, I explained that he wasn’t eating enough, primarily carbs and protein
I believe that most ppl with fast/healthy metabolism should eat 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight
In addition, carb cycling is beneficial
Eating carbs before a workout to power his muscles to improve strength & performance
A Whey protein shake post workout promotes recovery, muscle growth & can boost growth hormones.
In all cases a combination of proper diet and training is the key
This is a good start for most young people who struggle to gain weight
I crave sugars, but I am trying to lose weight. I try low carb diets, but at night I get carb cravings. I also do martial arts 5 days per week and sometimes my energy drops
This was another question from someone in the gym
This is a big mistake many people make who try to lose weight
They try to combine high intensity training with a low carb diet
Biologically, this doesn’t work
Unless you are in a constant case of ketosis or keto adapted, your body will prefer to use carbs to fuel any workout that passes or stay over the anaerobic zone
Simply put, carbs are our body’s preferred fuel source
So, once your body uses up it’s stored glycogen, you will crave carbs & sugars
Now, I limit cardio & high intensity for most of my clients who are sugar burners, but in his case, his does martial arts as a sport
My recommendations are to :
Carb cycle-
Eat carbs prior to training when his body can use it best
In fact, a healthy sport drink can be helpful, like Liquid-IV
Eat complete meals-
Fats, protein & fiber with complex carb as desert
Listen to my short on nutrition to keep your blood sugar steady
Keeping your blood sugar steady will limit cravings, promote fat oxidation & boost growth hormones
For us, in Seattle, our first over 70 degree day was June 20. Our first hot day (and only hot day) was June 27th. Yesterday it poured rain, but then in the afternoon it got warm which made the plants go crazy. Pollen dump. The plants have been sending out pollen like they have no other purpose (because they don’t, I get it) every second it’s sunny but since my allergies have flared up, my metabolism is at a standstill!!
No movement at all for more than 2 weeks. Ugh. Will this be my summer? I was making progress before it stopped raining. My “flex score” has gone down 19.7% in the last 3 weeks.
I used to struggle with pollen related allergies that caused asthma and now, it has been over three years that I am off all meds with no reactions. Just to give a little background.
Now, your immune system is your body’s main defense again pathogens & 75% of your immune system resides in your gut. So, we know that a healthy gut is vital to combat allergies.
The question is how do we strengthen our gut?
Well, just like everything else, it differs for each person & it may be best to work with a Gut Health Specialist, but generally speaking here are some things to consider:
1. Eliminate seed and inflammatory oils
2. Limit toxic exposure
3. Reduce stress
4. Improve sleep quality
5. Feed your good gut bacteria with oligosaccharides
These habits together can improve your microbiome
Good morning everyone, I’m fairly new to Lumen. I’m just starting my second week. I’ve had a hard time eating my macros, because I’m very used to low carb but also fairly low fat diet. The last two days I’ve been able to increase my healthy fat intake by quite a bit, but then just had blood drawn yesterday, and both my LDL and triglycerides are borderline high. Could there possibly be any connection between an increase in healthy fats to these levels showing up in my blood?
It seems to come down to your gut enzymes. Our bodies use amylase to break down carbs and lipase to break down fats.
Now, since you have been on low carb and low fat for an extended period of time, your body has diminished both enzymes. This inhibits proper digestion, hence why you have high levels of triglycerides in your blood. (Undigested particles)
Healthy fats don’t raise LDL though, chronic inflammation & unhealthy fats tend to do so, but the lack of adequate enzymes is connected though.
Now, this should change as your metabolism becomes more flexible. A flexible metabolism occurs when your body creates the right balance of digestive enzymes. For most people this happens through introducing your body to these macros via diet.
In your particular case, especially since you are concerned, you may want to work with a registered nutritionist or licensed dietitian.
You may also want to consider taking digestive enzymes in the beginning of your journey and a nutrition professional can look at your #s and make that determination.
I fast for 16 hrs from 8pm till noon, but need some coffee in the morning. Usually espresso, but I confess I need just a little something to take the bold edge off. 1/2 a Splenda and or splash of skim milk or unsweetened almond milk. Those total 15 calories or less but may be spiking my numbers up.
I constantly debate if it is best to try to fast through am or have a 200 calorie low carb & high protein breakfast. Thanks in advance for any feedback.
For men, fasting 14 to 16 hours daily is usually ideal. Break your fast with a high protein breakfast (breakfast being whenever you eat your first meal)
I also recommend eating some plants i.e green veggies, peppers or onions and scallions with breakfast ( improve gut health) . You can have some carbs with breakfast as well, but toward the end of your meal only.
BTW, you the Splenda and milk are breaking your fast.
