  #57 Strongman Legend Nick Best: "My Testosterone Was 135" | Coffee With Doc Pt 1

  Oct 1, 202633 min

  Episode 57, Part 1: Nick Best — Strongman Legend on Strength, Longevity & Smart Health Dr. John J. Pierce welcomes longtime friend and Las Vegas strength icon Nick Best. Nick is an elite powerlifter, World's Strongest Man finalist, and star of The Strongest Man in History. In Part 1, Nick traces his path from drug-tested powerlifting titles to a late-start strongman career that included a farmer's walk world record and the first 800 lb deadlift by an amateur strongman. Along the way, Doc and Nick talk about the health side of elite strength: why untreated sleep apnea was likely a hidden danger for big athletes of the past, how a CPAP and regular bloodwork changed Nick's career, and why keeping hormones at physiologic levels under medical supervision supports recovery, muscle, and bone density as we age. Key takeaways: - Nick started strongman at 37 and set records within his first two years - Untreated sleep apnea was a serious, often overlooked risk for large strength athletes - Nick's natural testosterone once tested at just 135 despite his muscle mass - Physician-guided hormone care with regular labs aims for physiologic levels, not excess - Technique can matter as much as raw strength (his farmer's walk start, his grip, and Lamaze-style breathing under heavy carries) - Modern equipment such as whippy deadlift bars has changed how lifts compare across eras This episode is educational and not medical advice. Talk with your physician before starting any hormone therapy.

  #56 You Should Vet Your Physical Therapist Like You Vet Your Surgeon

  Sep 24, 202637 min

  You'll spend weeks researching the right surgeon — but do you know who's doing your physical therapy afterward? On this episode of Coffee with Doc, Dr. Pierce sits down with his own physical therapist, Dr. Nate Ellis of Prism Physical Therapy, for a conversation that could change how you think about your next surgery, injury, or nagging pain. Dr. Ellis explains why the months of rehab after a surgery matter just as much as the surgery itself — and why most people never vet their physical therapist with anywhere near the diligence they apply to choosing a surgeon. They dig into what actually separates a typical insurance-based PT clinic from a cash-based one, why certain effective treatments get skipped when insurance is footing the bill, and the science behind two tools Dr. Ellis uses every day: blood flow restriction training and extracorporeal shockwave therapy. Dr. Pierce also shares his own very different recovery experiences, from a rough start after his hip replacement to major progress treating a frozen shoulder at Prism. #CoffeeWithDoc #AgelessForever #PhysicalTherapy #PrismPhysicalTherapy #BFRTraining #ShockwaveTherapy #Rehab #SportsMedicine #LasVegas #Healthspan #PostSurgeryRecovery

  #55 PART II | Dewey Built a Boxing League From a Conversation on an Airplane

  Sep 17, 20261h 1m

  He trained Francis Ngannou from his first fight in America to a UFC heavyweight title, built a professional boxing league from a conversation two strangers had on an airplane, and then — off camera, off the record, completely unscripted — told Dr. Pierce the realest story this show has ever aired. Part 2 of this conversation with Dewey "Black Cobra" Cooper covers the coaching career, the league, his daughter, and a depression he never saw coming. Dewey Cooper spent over a decade quietly training fighters before anyone called him a "coach" — years of eight-hour shifts, teaching kids at the gym, and sleeping three hours a night. In Part 2, he explains how that invisible groundwork turned into training Jessica Rakoczy to five world titles, cornering Francis Ngannou through the biggest fights of his UFC career, and co-founding what's now Team Boxing League. He also opens up about his daughter Shaolin's music career, his unconventional health habits, and — in the most candid stretch of the episode — the depression he faced when she left for college, the search that led him to Islam, and why he finally agreed to get his blood work done after turning Dr. Pierce down for two years.

  #55 The Black Cobra's Origin Story: From LA Gangs to World Champion (Part 1)

  Sep 9, 202646 minS1

  He was forging his mom's signature to sneak into Muay Thai class at 9 years old, knocking out grown men for his brother's gang by 8th grade — and 30 years later he's coached a UFC heavyweight champion. This week on Coffee with Doc, Dr. Pierce sits down with a longtime friend and combat sports legend, Dewey "Black Cobra" Cooper, for Part 1 of a conversation nearly three decades in the making. Dewey is a two-time world kickboxing champion, a professional boxer, and one of the most respected striking coaches in the sport — best known as the longtime striking coach and cornerman for former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou. But before any of that, he was a kid in 1980s Los Angeles trying to survive a childhood shaped by gang violence, and the fighter he became almost didn't happen the way you'd expect. In this episode, Dewey and Dr. Pierce go all the way back — to Muay Thai as a survival skill, the real story behind the "Black Cobra" name, the ultimatum that got his family out of LA, the mentors who built him into a champion, and the 2:30 a.m. conversation at the Vegas club where they both used to work that changed both of their lives. ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS 00:00 – Welcome to Coffee with Doc: introducing Dewey "Black Cobra" Cooper 04:00 – Reconnecting after nearly 30 years 05:00 – Growing up the youngest of eight in Los Angeles 06:30 – The crack epidemic, gang life, and his brother Paul 08:00 – Forging his mom's signature to train Muay Thai at 9 10:00 – Why he really started fighting (it wasn't Bruce Lee) 11:00 – The real story behind the "Black Cobra" nickname 12:00 – His first fight at age 10 in Upland, California 14:00 – Arrested and taken to juvie after a fight in Oceanside 15:00 – His father's ultimatum and the move to Las Vegas 17:00 – The turnaround: straight A's and a new life 18:30 – Reframing his parents' sacrifice 21:00 – Training under Grandmaster Eddie "Flash" Newman 23:30 – The first time he saw Master Nick "One Kick" Blomgren 26:00 – Reconnecting with Nick after a disqualification 28:30 – Nick's mentorship and helping troubled youth 30:00 – "Win or learn," not "win or lose" 31:30 – The other mentors: Tony Valente, TJ Blackburn, David Hayes, and Jeff Mayweather 33:30 – The FEAR acronym: Fake Emotions Appearing Real 35:00 – Struggling to make ends meet as a pro kickboxer 36:00 – Meeting "JJ" — working the graveyard shift with a young Dr. Pierce 38:00 – The 2:30 a.m. conversation: "I'm gonna become a doctor" 40:30 – Dr. Pierce's own motivation: watching Diana become a judge 43:00 – Why motivation from someone you know "hits different" Part 2 of this conversation is coming soon — covering the K-1 circuit, coaching Francis Ngannou, Team Combat League, and Dewey's daughter Shaolin's music career.

  #54 PART II | Why "Cheat Days" Are Wrecking Your Progress (Do This Instead)

  Sep 3, 2026—S2

  Show Notes In Part 2 of this conversation, IFBB Pro Ron Stevens and Dr. John J. Pierce shift from training talk into the business of coaching and the science of longevity. Ron explains how he's transitioning from 30 years of in-person training toward online coaching — building his business around a men-over-40 niche and finding that accountability, not workout intensity, is what actually keeps clients compliant. He walks through his approach to cheat meals, meal simplicity, and supplement basics for clients before the conversation turns personal: Ron's coronary artery calcium score, why he came off a statin, and how nattokinase, K2, and Arterosil helped drop that score by more than half. Dr. Pierce also introduces some of the advanced screening tools used at Ageless Forever, including low-dose CT lung scans and the Galleri liquid biopsy test for early cancer detection, before the two close with a discussion on healthspan versus lifespan as they both age.
