What does a Green Beret know about getting better faster? Everything, it turns out. In this special Midterm Election MAHA Edition, retired Army Lieutenant Colonel and Green Beret Ivan Raiklin joins Dr. Jason Bradley and James Chester to share the military mantra that changes how you think about health: slow is smooth, and smooth is fast.

Ivan walks through his personal operating system, starting with the 168-hour week and why most people waste more than a full-time job on screens. He shares his travel-ready sleep kit, his "eyes, ears and oxygen" rule for deep recovery, and a surprising explanation for why sleeping without constriction helps blood flow and recovery. Dr. J ties it back to the EPIC Five pillars, the hidden link between poor sleep and metabolism, and why Iowa battles some of the highest cancer and Parkinson's rates in the nation. James challenges listeners to get curious about forever chemicals, test their drinking water, and take back their farms, fields, dinner tables and health.

The conversation also covers Iowa's role in the MAHA movement, Ivan's case for "Iowa First, America Next," his views on COVID-era accountability, and his 30-day mission order for GBF Nation: be, know, do. Whatever happens at the ballot box, the most important vote you cast is the one you make at the dinner table and with your feet every single day.
