The Super Human Life

Most men don't struggle because they lack discipline, motivation, or intelligence. They struggle because they lack purpose. In this solo episode of The Super Human Life, Coach Frank Rich breaks down why discovering your purpose is the foundation of real transformation and why without it, no habit, routine, or New Year's resolution will ever stick. Purpose isn't something you invent. It's something you discover. As we head into 2026, this episode gives you a clear, tactical framework built around five powerful questions that help uncover why you were created, who you're meant to serve, and how to start stepping into that calling right now. This episode connects purpose to identity, faith, service, and action, showing how alignment with your calling brings clarity, direction, and freedom from anxiety, stagnation, and destructive habits. In This Episode, You'll Learn: Why purpose is the missing piece behind most men's lack of fulfillment How identity and purpose are directly connected Why purpose must be discovered — not created How living without purpose fuels anxiety, depression, and addictive cycles The role service plays in uncovering your calling Why passion often points to purpose How your natural gifts reveal what you were designed to do Why the problems that anger you may be the problems you're meant to solve How to take action on your purpose using the opportunities already in front of you Why purpose evolves over time — and why waiting for clarity keeps you stuck The 5 Questions To Discover Your Purpose Who do you care about? (Who do you have a heart to serve?) What are you passionate about? (What energizes and moves you?) What do you do well? (What comes naturally? What do people come to you for?) What bothers you? (What problems in the world do you want to fix?) What opportunities are in front of you right now? (What step can you take today?) Why This Episode Matters Without purpose, men drift. Without purpose, discipline breaks down. Without purpose, temptation grows louder. But when a man discovers why he's here — everything changes. This episode is a wake-up call for any man heading into a new year determined to stop drifting, stop numbing, and start living with intention, clarity, and conviction. Who This Episode Is For Men who feel stuck, restless, or unfulfilled Men struggling with motivation, discipline, or consistency Men battling anxiety, depression, or addictive cycles Men who want clarity and direction for the year ahead Men ready to step into who they were created to be --- Connect with Frank and The Super Human Life on Social Media: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/coachfrankrich/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/584284948647477/ Website: http://www.thesuperhumanlifepodcast.com/tshlhome YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjB4UrpxtNO2AFtDURMzoKQ

In this powerful and eye-opening episode of The Super Human Life, Coach Frank Rich sits down with longevity pioneer and author Dr. Jeffrey Gladden, founder of Gladden Longevity and a leading voice in human performance optimization. Together, they challenge the cultural belief that aging is an inevitable decline and reveal how mindset, biology, technology, and purpose all intersect to determine how long (and how well) we live. Dr. Gladden shares why aging is more of a mindset than a biological certainty, how purpose and spirituality directly impact health, and why the "questions you ask yourself" may be one of the most underrated longevity tools we possess. The conversation dives deep into the nervous system, emotional fitness, relationships, AI advancements, and the future of biohacking, giving men a roadmap to living younger, stronger, and more intentionally for decades to come. This is not a conversation about resisting aging. This is a conversation about redefining what's possible for the human experience. Episode Highlights & Takeaways Aging is a mindset, not a destiny. Your beliefs about aging directly influence your biology and lifespan. Define your longevity goals early. Intentionality shapes the habits and systems that determine how well you age. Spirituality & purpose are longevity multipliers. Living aligned with meaning strengthens resilience, vitality, and emotional health. AI will revolutionize personalized health optimization. When used correctly, it can supercharge diagnostics, protocols, and prevention. The nervous system determines your youthfulness. Stress, trauma, and dysregulation accelerate aging more than most people know. Biohacking tools can support, but not replace foundational health. Tech is a supplement, not the solution. Your relationships shape your mental and physical longevity. Deep connection and emotional safety reduce biological aging markers. The quality of your questions defines the quality of your life. Better questions → better decisions → better outcomes. A fulfilling life is built on love and creation. Purpose, generosity, service, and self-expression deepen well-being at every age. Guest Bio: Dr. Jeffrey Gladden Dr. Jeffrey Gladden is a visionary in human longevity, advanced performance, and regenerative health. A triple-board-certified interventional cardiologist turned longevity expert, Dr. Gladden spent decades at the forefront of cardiac innovation, co-founding the Heart Hospital Baylor Scott & White and developing leading cardiac programs across the country. But it was his own battle with fatigue, brain fog, and declining vitality that pushed him to rethink traditional medicine and pursue a deeper truth: aging is not a fixed fate — it's a process we can influence, optimize, and even reverse. Today, as the founder of Gladden Longevity, he leads a cutting-edge clinic that helps individuals "live young for a lifetime" through personalized diagnostics, breakthrough technologies, and his signature Symphony of Longevity framework. His bestselling book, 100 Is the New 30, challenges conventional beliefs about aging and explores what's truly possible when a person optimizes body, mind, purpose, and spirit. Through his research, IRB-approved clinical trials, and global speaking, Dr. Gladden is on a mission to answer one profound question: "How good can you be—physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually—as you age?" --- Connect with Frank and The Super Human Life on Social Media: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/coachfrankrich/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/584284948647477/ Website: http://www.thesuperhumanlifepodcast.com/tshlhome YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjB4UrpxtNO2AFtDURMzoKQ

In this powerful conversation, Coach Frank is joined once again by psychologist and bestselling author Dr. Glenn Livingston (Never Binge Again) to break down one of the biggest hidden challenges men face: staying in control around food — especially during the holidays. They explore why so many disciplined, successful men lose control with their eating this time of year, and how to indulge without guilt, compromise, or spiraling into a "start again Monday" setback. Dr. Livingston reveals simple rules, identity-based strategies, and mindset shifts that allow men to enjoy the holidays while maintaining discipline, confidence, and self-respect — without obsessing, restricting, or apologizing for their goals. Expect to Learn Why high-performers fall off more during the holidays — and how to stop it The exact moment overeating starts — and how to intercept it How to enjoy holiday food without losing control or waking up ashamed Tools for navigating social pressure and family dynamics around food Why perfectionism is the enemy of long-term health The role of identity in lasting behavior change How to set New Year's resolutions that actually work Why emotional healing doesn't come before discipline — it comes after habits change Key Takeaways Boundaries prevent guilt. You can indulge — but you must decide when, where, and how much ahead of time. Social pressure is real — but manageable. Redirect conversations instead of defending your choices. Clear food rules = less stress. Discipline is easier when your brain isn't negotiating every decision. Mindful eating changes the experience. Slow down, taste your food, and stay present at the table. Put your phone away during meals. Connection increases fulfillment and reduces overeating. Identity is the long-term lever. Eat according to the man you're becoming — not the impulse of the moment. Aim for consistency, not perfection. Small wins build momentum — and momentum builds belief. Visualize consequences. Think beyond the moment and feel future outcomes before you act. Behavior drives emotion. Fix your patterns first, and the emotional attachment to food begins to dissolve. New Year's resolutions must be specific. Vague motivation fades — concrete rules stick.

In this power-packed episode of The Super Human Life, Coach Frank sits down with Chris Duffin — legendary strength athlete, mechanical engineer, entrepreneur, and one of the most respected voices in human performance and biological optimization. Chris shares his unbelievable story of survival, resilience, and reinvention, and reveals a framework that's helping high-performing men rebuild purpose, identity, and physical vitality — especially after career success turns into stagnation, burnout, or loss of drive. Whether you're a business leader, former athlete, father, or high performer who knows you're capable of more, this episode will challenge you and equip you to break through the plateau and reclaim the edge. About Chris Duffin Chris "The Mad Scientist" Duffin is a world-record-setting powerlifter, bestselling author, biomechanical genius, and the founder of Kabuki Strength and multiple human-performance companies. He has worked with: Every major league baseball team 90% of the NBA 80% of the NFL Elite military operators Hollywood action performers High-net-worth executives + former steroid-enhanced athletes After surviving a traumatic upbringing and rising to become a top executive, world-class strength athlete, and multimillion-dollar founder, Chris devoted his life to helping people build resilience and optimize human biology for peak performance and longevity. He now coaches individuals and professionals through biomechanics, peptides, mitochondrial repair, hormone optimization, and cellular-level resilience. Key Takeaways ✔ Comfort is the new danger. Men don't just break down at rock bottom — many collapse at rock top after success leads to stagnation and meaninglessness. ✔ Growth requires resistance. Just like muscles atrophy in a cast, the mind and soul weaken without intentional challenge. ✔ The Six P's of Growth: Precipice → Plunge → Pit → Pole → Peak → Plateau You must choose the plunge before life forces you into it. ✔ Fear isn't the enemy. True strength is remaining self-aware inside stress — neither paralyzed by fear nor reckless without it. ✔ Mindset alone is not enough. If your biology is compromised — hormones, mitochondria, inflammation — you're fighting your own physiology every day. ✔ Modern men can reclaim energy and clarity. Peptides, hormone alignment, mitochondrial support, and circadian rhythm optimization can reverse brain fog, low drive, recovery issues, and emotional instability. ✔ The Superhuman life = value-aligned living. Not achievement — but building a life where your actions express who you were created to be. Peptides & Optimization Mentioned Chris shares a high-level overview of cutting-edge regenerative and performance-boosting tools, including: CJC-1295 + Ipamorelin (GH optimization) TRT micro-dosing aligned with circadian rhythm BPC-157, TB-500, KPV (gut & tissue repair) Alcar, ketones, urolithin A (metabolic support) SLUPP 3-3-2, MOTS-C, SS-31 (mitochondrial restoration) (Not medical advice — consult a qualified professional before applying.) --- Connect with Frank and The Super Human Life on Social Media: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/coachfrankrich/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/584284948647477/ Website: http://www.thesuperhumanlifepodcast.com/tshlhome YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjB4UrpxtNO2AFtDURMzoKQ
