Summary

This week I sit down with Rebecca Rusch – one of the world’s greatest adventure athletes. Rebecca is a 7-time World Champion, best-selling author, activist, and Emmy winner. In addition to superhuman success on a mountain bike, she has performed at the elite level across a multitude of disciplines including rock climbing, white water rafting, and multi-day adventure events like Eco Challenge. Still crushing it at 50, Rebecca is redefining human capability in real time. Beyond athletics, Rebecca is a TEDx speaker, author of Rusch To Glory* and the founder of the Be Good Foundation. In addition, she is the event producer of Rebecca’s Private Idaho, a bike race in her hometown of Ketchum, and the protagonist in Blood Road, an extraordinary documentary that chronicles her 1,800 km mountain bike adventure along the Ho Chi Minh Trail to reach the site where her U.S. Air Force pilot father was shot down in Laos more than 40 years earlier during Vietnam. Dubbed ‘The Queen of Pain' by Adventure Sports magazine, Rebecca was named #6 on Active.com’s list of the World's Top 100 Athletes, Singletrack.com’s Mountain Biker of the Year, Sports Illustrated Adventure Racing Team of the Year, and Outside magazine’s Top 20 Female Athletes of the Year. Rebecca's accomplishments are beyond impressive. But today's conversation lives beyond elite performance to explore things like curiosity. The richness of adventure. Feeding the soul. Continuous personal growth. Redefining age. Contributing to the greater good. And giving back. But most of all, this is about what can be gleaned by leaning into the unknown. And living outside the comfort zone. Because there is so much more to this incredible woman than athletic prowess. I thoroughly enjoyed my experience with Rebecca. My hope is that it leaves you re-evaluating your personal limits. And inspired to live more adventurously.

0:00.0	Hey, you know that kombucha, kimchi, and other fermented foods that you're eating?
0:05.1	Well, good job, pat on the back.
0:07.1	Super nutritious, delicious, but also somewhat limited in terms of gut health, a limitation
0:13.7	easily resolved by working a prebiotic and probiotic supplement into your daily routine.
0:20.8	But here's the thing, not all probiotics are created equal.
0:24.8	In fact, because the supplement world is so unregulated, the vast majority of them are
0:30.9	actually surprisingly deficient or sometimes even downright ineffective.
0:35.6	But I have found a great evidence-backed pre- and probiotic.
0:40.0	It's called seed.
0:41.4	It's a company stewarding the future of how we will use bacteria to restore and sustain
0:48.0	human and planetary health.
0:49.7	And they've got this amazing signature product.
0:52.4	It's called the DSO-1 daily symbiotic and it combines 24 clinically verified and naturally
0:58.4	occurring probiotic strains with plant-based prebiotics formulated for digestive, gut immune,
1:05.5	and additional systemic benefits.
1:07.6	It's all delivered to you in a 2-in-1 Viacap delivery technology that protects against stomach
1:14.0	acid and digestion enzymes, which basically means the live probiotics will actually make
1:19.9	it to the end of the small intestine for delivery into the colon through digestion.
1:25.3	The prebiotic outer capsule is made from Indian pomegranate and serves as this elegant barrier
1:30.7	to oxygen, moisture, and heat, which makes for a convenient storage and no refrigeration
1:36.0	necessary.
1:37.4	So this is all a long way of saying that there is a lot of complicated science behind
