Mark Bell's Power Project

Mark Bell talks with cardiologist Dr. Michael Twyman to break down Mark’s actual heart scans and what they reveal about his cardiovascular health. Dr. Twyman walks through Mark’s plaque burden, the difference between soft and calcified plaque, why someone can feel perfectly healthy while cardiovascular disease develops in the background, and what can actually be done once plaque is found.They cover CAC scores vs. CT coronary angiograms, LDL, ApoB, Lp(a), blood pressure, inflammation, saturated fat and ketogenic diets, anabolic steroids, exercise, sleep, stress, genetics, nattokinase, supplements, lipid-lowering medications, and the markers Dr. Twyman believes people should routinely monitor.Mark also reflects on years of extreme powerlifting, performance-enhancing drug use, high blood pressure, and dietary experimentation—and why being strong, lean, active, or metabolically healthy doesn’t necessarily mean your arteries are free of plaque.Follow Dr. Michael Twyman: DrTwyman.com0:00 Understanding High Risk Plaque Findings4:20 Dr. Twyman's Transition to Preventative Care8:15 The Truth About Exercise and Heart Stress12:40 Can Plaque Actually Be Reversed17:10 Why ApoB Matters More Than LDL22:30 Supplements for Arterial Health28:15 Nattokinase Research and Bleeding Risks34:50 Reviewing Mark Bell's CTTA Results41:10 Soft Plaque vs. Hard Plaque Explained47:35 Choosing the Right Heart Scan53:20 Saturated Fat and Genetic Sensitivity1:00:15 Lean Mass Hyper Responders1:06:40 Impact of Stress and Sleep on Arteries1:12:55 The Mediterranean Diet for Heart Health1:18:10 Essential Blood Markers to Monitor1:23:45 Final Recommendations for LongevityIf you found this information helpful, please hit the like button and subscribe for more deep dives into health and performance.

Working harder isn’t always the answer. Sometimes the biggest breakthrough comes from improving your skill, technique, awareness, and ability to stay composed.Mark Bell and Nsima Inyang discuss learning how to sprint, improving running mechanics, staying relaxed under pressure, what competition teaches you about your weaknesses, and why losing can accelerate progress. They also react to Andrew Huberman’s thoughts on meditation and presence, and talk about the importance of testing ideas for yourself instead of blindly following advice.The conversation also gets into jiu-jitsu, learning new skills later in life, acting, athletic versatility, and why giving yourself enough time to improve may be one of the most valuable things you can do.Subscribe to Mark Bell’s Power Project for more conversations on strength, performance, health, and becoming more capable.Special perks for our listeners below!🥩 HIGH QUALITY PROTEIN! 🍖 ➢ https://goodlifeproteins.com/ Code POWER to save 20% off site wide, or code POWERPROJECT to save an additional 5% off your Build a Box Subscription!🩸 Get your BLOODWORK/TRT/PEPTIDES! 🩸 ➢ https://marekhealth.com and use code "POWERPROJECT" for 10% off Self-Service Labs and Guided Optimization®.🧠 Methylene Blue: Better Focus, Sleep and Mood 🧠 Use Code POWER10 for 10% off!➢https://troscriptions.com?utm_source=affiliate&ut-m_medium=podcast&ut-m_campaign=MarkBel-I_podcastBest 5 Finger Barefoot Shoes! 👟 ➢ https://Peluva.com/PowerProject Code POWERPROJECT15 to save 15% off Peluva Shoes!Self Explanatory 🍆 ➢ Enlarging Pumps (This really works): https://bit.ly/powerproject1Pumps explained: https://youtu.be/qPG9JXjlhpM?si=JZN09-FakTjoJuaW🚨 The Best Red Light Therapy Devices and Blue Blocking Glasses On The Market! 😎➢https://emr-tek.com/Use code: POWERPROJECT to save 20% off your order!👟 BEST LOOKING AND FUNCTIONING BAREFOOT SHOES 🦶➢https://vivobarefoot.com/powerproject🥶 The Best Cold Plunge Money Can Buy 🥶 ➢ https://thecoldplunge.com/ Code POWERPROJECT to save $150!!➢ https://withinyoubrand.com/ Code POWERPROJECT to save 15% off supplements!➢ https://markbellslingshot.com/ Code POWERPROJECT to save 15% off all gear and apparel!Follow Mark Bell's Power Project Podcast➢ https://www.PowerProject.live

In this episode, we sit down with geneticist Ryan Rosner, PhD, to explore what our DNA can tell us about performance, health, longevity, and the future of human enhancement.
We get into the genetics of elite athletes like Devin Larratt, what genetic sequencing can actually reveal, “superhuman” mutations, gene therapy, cognition, mitochondrial function, bone density, Alzheimer’s risk, peptides, supplementation, and whether we’re approaching a point where humans can intentionally alter their own biology.
Ryan also explains why he believes genetic sequencing is one of the most underutilized tools available today, where the science is still limited, and why the next generation of gene therapies could look very different from anything we’ve seen before.

Steve joins Mark Bell’s Power Project to tell the story of going from elite-level strength and chasing a 2,000-pound powerlifting total to sudden kidney failure, five years of dialysis, and ultimately receiving a kidney transplant from his sister.Steve explains how his health deteriorated seemingly overnight, why doctors eventually determined that a rare genetic condition played a major role in his kidney failure, what dialysis actually feels like, and how close he came to believing he might not survive.He also opens up about losing the identity he had built around strength, accepting that he may never lift the numbers he once did, the loyalty his wife showed him at his lowest point, and how surviving the experience completely changed his priorities.The conversation also covers blood work and kidney-health markers, performance-enhancing drugs, training and gaining size, entrepreneurship, near-death experiences, family, faith, and learning to appreciate the life you still have.Follow Steve: @ptfitness500Special perks for our listeners below!🥩 HIGH QUALITY PROTEIN! 🍖 ➢ https://goodlifeproteins.com/ Code POWER to save 20% off site wide, or code POWERPROJECT to save an additional 5% off your Build a Box Subscription!🩸 Get your BLOODWORK/TRT/PEPTIDES! 🩸 ➢ https://marekhealth.com and use code "POWERPROJECT" for 10% off Self-Service Labs and Guided Optimization®.🧠 Methylene Blue: Better Focus, Sleep and Mood 🧠 Use Code POWER10 for 10% off!➢https://troscriptions.com?utm_source=affiliate&ut-m_medium=podcast&ut-m_campaign=MarkBel-I_podcastBest 5 Finger Barefoot Shoes! 👟 ➢ https://Peluva.com/PowerProject Code POWERPROJECT15 to save 15% off Peluva Shoes!Self Explanatory 🍆 ➢ Enlarging Pumps (This really works): https://bit.ly/powerproject1Pumps explained: https://youtu.be/qPG9JXjlhpM?si=JZN09-FakTjoJuaW🚨 The Best Red Light Therapy Devices and Blue Blocking Glasses On The Market! 😎➢https://emr-tek.com/Use code: POWERPROJECT to save 20% off your order!👟 BEST LOOKING AND FUNCTIONING BAREFOOT SHOES 🦶➢https://vivobarefoot.com/powerproject🥶 The Best Cold Plunge Money Can Buy 🥶 ➢ https://thecoldplunge.com/ Code POWERPROJECT to save $150!!➢ https://withinyoubrand.com/ Code POWERPROJECT to save 15% off supplements!➢ https://markbellslingshot.com/ Code POWERPROJECT to save 15% off all gear and apparel!Follow Mark Bell's Power Project Podcast➢ https://www.PowerProject.live➢ https://lnk.to/PowerProjectPodcast➢ Insta: https://www.instagram.com/markbellspowerproject➢ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/markbellspowerprojectFOLLOW Mark Bell➢ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/marksmellybell➢https://www.tiktok.com/@marksmellybell➢ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MarkBellSuperTraining➢ Twitter: https://twitter.com/marksmellybellFollow Nsima Inyang➢ Ropes and equipment : https://thestrongerhuman.store➢ Community & Courses: https://www.skool.com/thestrongerhuman➢ YouTube : https://www.youtube.com/c/NsimaInyang➢ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nsimainyang/?hl=e#PowerProject #Podcast #MarkBell #FitnessPodcast #markbellspowerproject
