Hiking Mt. Fuji was one of the best hiking experiences we've had! This hike was intense in how steep it was, but my lack of preparation definitely slowed me down. Listen to how I was able to catch up with Jess and push thorough muscle cramps at 10,000ft elevation. Mt. Fuji was just a one day experience of our 12 day trip in Japan. Jess and I chat about the rest of our trip and how amazing it was to visit Japan.

Joey's aspirations don't just involve running marathons and flying airplanes in the airlines, but they dive deep in the intrinsic curiosity to challenge himself any type of athletic competition. After a few marathons under his belt, Joey set out to run his most challenging ultra marathon at 10,000ft for 100 miles, The LEADVILLE 100. Training for a race like this requires discipline, determination, and consistency. Especially when you have the schedule of an airline pilot. Joey demonstrates and leads by example on social media to show the aviation community, and everyone else, that you too can also push yourself physically and mentally more than you think capable, no matter your career.

"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!

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.

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. On today's episode, I got to speak with Charron Byndloss, a Customs Border and Protection (CBP) Agriculture Advisor with over 15 years of experience in various roles within the CBP. Charron shares great information about the process and importance of declaring agricultural items when returning to the USA. You don't want to have to pay a fine for not declaring your items, and don't be afraid to declare. This episode is full of great information for the next time you travel internationally. Due to the dynamic world we live in, procedures for agriculture entry change on a regular basis.

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.You can find Tevin on all social media by @tevinwootenVideo Link: https://www.nbcboston.com/entertainment/entertainment-news/taylor-swift-midnights-weather-forecast/2869617/Enjoy!
