11 Apr 2023 | 24. Layover Fitbrief: Managing Circadian Rhythm | 00:28:05 | |
FATIGUE is one of a pilot's greatest threats. Most aviation trainings educate on Circadian Rhythm based on "time frames" of different hormone secretion (Cortisol and Melatonin). However, what isn't often mentioned, and studies have shown, is that cells also have a biological clock based on "time frames" of insulin levels. The combinations of these hormonal and cellular circadian rhythms play a huge role on FATIGUE mitigation. On this 4 day trip, my wake ups start during the first window of circadian low (WOCL). I talk about how I manage to get past that groggy feeling with a morning routine, and also when I eat and consume caffeine. Layovers are in Mexico City, Raleigh, and Guayaquil. Enjoy! | |||

22 Dec 2022 | 17. Layover FitBrief: Guyana Layover | 00:24:32 | |
It is often said Guyana is a very dangerous country in South America, and to be very careful when laying over there.

This Layover Fitbrief explains how I balanced my meal preps on international trips, as well as my fitness and travel explorations. | |||
17 Jul 2023 | 27. The App that Plans Your Layover: Planeta | 00:37:46 | |
Have you ever been stuck on deciding what to do on a layover? Sometimes work days can be so long that "decision fatigue" can play a role in your plans at a layover. Jess and I get to talk with the owners of Planeta, an App that can plan the layover for you based on personal preferences or let you choose the plan "a la carte". Planeta is great for crews and travelers, easy to use, and makes your planning easier.

14 Mar 2022 | 3. Overcoming Health Obstacles as a Pilot | 00:33:20 | |
What are some obstacles in aviation that greatly interfere with pilot's health?

10 May 2023 | 25. Cosmic Radiation and B Vitamins | 00:24:20 | |
Cosmic Radiation has had an impact on air crew. A research study explains how your diet, especially vitamin B3, can play an important role in protecting against ionizing radiation. In 1994 the FAA recognized this and recommended that aviation professionals, pilots and cabin crew, be informed about the exposure and health risks. There are several factors that influence exposure and the main ones are duration of flight and latitude. Listen to full episode and the links mentioned will be down below.

10 Aug 2023 | 29. How Proper Sitting Will Change Your Life | 00:33:44 | |
"LUMBAR support" is NOT THE KEY to keeping an upright posture while sitting. If you sit right, it will change your life. From EAA Airshow Osh Kosh 2023, I sat down with CEO and founder Anthros, Steve Dufresne. What he showed me completely blew my mind. I have never felt so comfortable sitting, while effortlessly maintaining PERFECT posture. Steve guides me through the physiology of the spine and sitting technique to feel that perfect posture every time. Through many years of experience in working and developing wheelchairs for people who must spend the majority of their time sitting, the Anthros Chair emerged to help those who spend a lot of time sitting behind the desk. The point is not to encourage people to sit, but to educate on the proper way and with the proper tool to sit correctly when they have to. We will see this type of support coming to aviation soon! | |||
03 Oct 2022 | 13. Motivation vs Discipline | 00:25:45 | |
Motivation has been one of the most spoken words in the recent years. However, it has influenced one of the most misleading meanings in regards to achieving a goal. But if it's not motivation that gets you to achieve it, then what is it? Discipline? And does one affect the other? This episode covers just that, and a deeper meaning that leads to wanted or unwanted behavior. Your actions highly depend on the meaning behind your thoughts, and thus shapes your overall behavior. Discipline is something that can be learned and creating healthy patterns will lead you achieve your goals, but how do we get started to learn to be disciplined? You already do it. It's as easy as brushing your teeth every morning. It's just that your not aware of the subconscious discipline you already have. The answer to finding how to be consciously disciplined is in this episode, but varies on each and every person. These methods will guide you on how to obtain discipline and more importantly educate on why it is so important. | |||
14 Feb 2023 | 20. The Aviation Health Coach: Will Poustchi | 00:56:59 | |

05 Sep 2022 | 11. Eat FATs While Flying | 00:20:26 | |
Healthy Fats are one of the best sources of food while flying. These include avocados, nuts, seeds, olives, and many more. In this episode, I cover some basic knowledge on metabolism and what macronutrient metabolizes more efficiently while sitting and flying. It's important to also note that fats are calorically dense at 9 Cal per gram of fat. A balanced diet will most likely bring more benefits than one that's not. Take into consideration the quantity and quality of the foods you are consuming. A more strict diet should be consulted with a registered dietitian or nutritionist. | |||
25 Mar 2022 | 4. The Travel Diet | 00:52:54 | |
Trends on "diets" don't work for everyone, and diets don't have the same meaning they once used to have. Unfortunately, the lack of education in nutrition has greatly contributed to nutritional unawareness, and misinformation. It's important to verify who the information is coming from and their credibility. I am not certified in nutrition, nor in dietetics, but as a certified personal trainer we have knowledge that we can share to the limit of our professional scope. Fernando calls his "diet" a nutritional habit, or nutritional lifestyle based on education and experience. Carbohydrates are not as bad as they seem if consumed in good quality, proper amount, and no underlaying health issues affected by glucose, such as diabetes. Did you know glucose is the main source of energy for brain cells? One of the most important factors mentioned is the importance of the role of each macronutrient, and it's process to metabolize to be used for either energy, storage, or muscle synthesis. Enjoy | |||
24 Aug 2022 | 10. Managing Diabetes as an Airline Pilot: Pietro Marsala | 00:51:59 | |

His determination to pursue his pilot dream, along with the great help of Dr. DeVoll (FAA Deputy Flight Surgeon at the time), lead him to become an airline pilot. As of 2019, it's official to obtain an insulin dependent First Class Medical, all thanks to Pietro's and Dr DeVoll's time and effort to make it possible. An amazing inspiring story.

21 Apr 2022 | 5. Communication is A Skill to Master | 00:29:58 | |
Relationships and Fitness are among the top topics people speak about during a trip. As a certified RMT Intervention coach by Tony Robbins and Cloe Madanes, I share some knowledge and experience that have helped others before in their relationships. Communication is the one skill you must master to truly understand your partner, but without honesty to your true self, then communicating becomes more challenging. There's a saying out there that goes "take care of yourself before you can take care of others" and when it comes to communicating, this is particularly true. | |||

What foods can you bring into the United States from abroad? That really depends on a few things; port of entry, what destination you are coming from, and what season it is.

Tevin Wooten might just possibly be Taylor Swift's favorite meteorologist after the sensational weather report given on NBC 10 Boston using words from her new album "Midnights" that relate to weather. In fact, the video was so good, that Mario Lopez give it a shoutout on Access Hollywood (link to video below). Aside from his creative ways of analyzing and reporting weather at "The Weather Channel" and now currently at NBC 10 Boston, he is passionate about spreading knowledge and contributing to the greater good. He shares with us his lifestyle, and let me tell you, that sometimes it's more spontaneous than being called for a trip on reserve. It was really cool getting to know the behind the scenes of reporting in different types of weather conditions. With all that being said, Tevin shares with us how staying on top of his fitness and nutrition is an integral part of his life in and out of the studio.
