In this episode, Lendo and Langston sit down with sociologist and Yale professor Dr. Rene Almeling, author of Guynecology and researcher specializing in men's reproductive health, to explore why men have largely been absent from public health conversations surrounding fertility, reproduction, and family planning.
Dr. Almeling explains how scientific knowledge develops over time, how cultural assumptions influence research priorities, and how generations of researchers can focus on certain areas while overlooking others. The result is not necessarily bad science. Sometimes it is incomplete science.
This conversation explores how institutions decide which questions are worth asking, which questions receive funding and research, and which questions never enter the conversation at all.

In this episode of the Super Daddy Club Podcast, Lendo visits Human Upgrade Labs to explore a radically different approach to fitness, recovery, and longevity.
Joined by Janet and Dean, the conversation challenges traditional gym culture and asks an important question: What if the way most people train is actually working against their long-term health?
From overtraining and chronic inflammation to nervous system burnout, this episode breaks down why pushing harder isnât always the answer, and how a recovery first approach may be the missing piece.
Instead of chasing aesthetics or punishing workouts, Human Upgrade Labs focuses on minimum effective dose training, nervous system regulation, inflammation reduction, and advanced recovery technologies designed to help people perform better while doing less.
These tools were once reserved for elite athletes, but theyâre now being adapted for busy adults, parents, and professionals who want to protect their health, improve energy, and extend longevity without living in the gym.
If youâve ever wondered whether working smarter and not harder could actually deliver better results, this conversation will challenge the way you think about fitness.

Preston Adams, a lifelong Aurora, Colorado native with nearly two decades of experience in youth violence prevention, has worked across classrooms, gyms, detention settings, and community based programs supporting gang and system involved young people. Now leading the Youth Violence Prevention program for the City and County of Denver, Preston brings a rare perspective shaped by both frontline work and navigating the limits of the justice system itself.
In this episode of the Super Daddy Club, Preston and Lendo examine the realities facing young people caught in cycles of incarceration, immigration stress, trauma, and structural neglect. They break down why âtough loveâ and scare-based approaches like Scared Straight consistently fail, and how dehumanization within the juvenile justice system often deepens harm rather than preventing it. The conversation moves beyond trauma-informed language toward healing-centered care, emphasizing the importance of time, developmental understanding, and sustained community support.
Together, they explore how real accountability paired with compassion, relationship-based mentorship, indigenous healing practices, and community-rooted solutions offer a more effective path forward. One that addresses the root causes of harm, preserves dignity, and creates the conditions for lasting change.

In the first part of this episode we open with a powerful conversation unpacking U.S. Human Health Secretary (HHS), Robert F. Kennedy Jrâs (RFK Jr), recent statements about autism which have sparked heated debate in the medical and parenting communities. From a recent YouTube video titled âAutism Science Leader Reacts to RFK Jr.'s Misinformationâ, we break down the core scientific disagreements and examine what both sides are really saying. You can find the link below as well as a summary of their arguments. But most importantly we asked Dr Robert Melillo to weigh in and expand on the arguments being made. We spent about 40 minutes dissecting a 6 minute video so stay tuned.
Dr. Robert Melillo then discusses the complexities of autism, emphasizing the interplay between genetics and environmental factors. He critiques the notion that autism is solely a genetic disorder, arguing instead for a multifaceted understanding that includes epigenetics and developmental milestones. The discussion also touches on the rising prevalence of autism and the implications of environmental toxins, such as glyphosate, on brain health. In this conversation, Dr. Robert Melillo discusses the complexities of autism, emphasizing the distinction between genetic and epigenetic factors, the impact of environmental influences, and the importance of preconception health. He addresses the rising rates of autism, the multifaceted nature of the disorder, and the potential for treatment and change. The discussion also touches on the concept of functional disconnection syndrome and the need for better understanding and research in the field.

In this episode of the Super Daddy Club podcast, Lendo speaks with Langston Jacobs, co-founder of Adam's Purpose along with Shay Jacobs, an organization dedicated to grief awareness and support. They discuss Langston's personal journey through grief after losing his mother and son, the importance of community in healing, and the challenges men face in expressing vulnerability.
The conversation emphasizes the need for safe spaces to process grief, the role of knowledge in overcoming barriers, and the significance of open communication, especially with children.

Grieving gracefully allows individuals to heal without causing harm to themselves or others. Communicating loss to children requires sensitivity and honesty.
Community support is vital in the grieving process. Men often struggle with vulnerability due to societal expectations. Creating safe spaces for healing is essential for emotional well-being. Knowledge empowers individuals to navigate grief and loss effectively. Transparency and genuineness can be powerful tools in healing. It's important to honor individual grieving processes within relationships. Self-care is crucial for those supporting others through grief.

In this compelling episode, we delve into the heart of a transformative journey with the remarkable Jana Herde, a seasoned coach whose aim is to mend fractured father-daughter relationships. Her mission, born from personal hardships and fueled by unwavering determination, is to offer profound healing and restoration to fathers and daughters who have been estranged or alienated.
**Raised without her own father, Jana empathizes deeply with the struggles faced by countless children. Having traversed her arduous path as a divorced mother, she embarked on a quest for introspection, therapy, and personal growth. This ultimately led her to craft a powerful coaching program. This transformative initiative stands as a guiding light for fathers seeking to rebuild the precious bond with their beloved daughters.
Throughout this dialogue, we explore themes that strike at the core of parental alienation's impact on both parents and children. Jana's enlightened perspective helps us understand the true implications of terms like "deadbeat father," transcending surface judgments to reveal deeper truths. Unraveling the barriers that often hold men from seeking help, Jana sheds light on the many reasons that might hinder their journey toward reconciliation. She acknowledges and addresses the undeniable realities of children's experiences, fostering understanding and compassion. Join us in this profound exploration of love, healing, and reconnection.

We saw the necessity to go back in time to get an understanding from firsthand experience of how things were like back then. We sat down with Pete, a relative of ours, who can take us back to an epoch that seems so different. We went in with a plan and came out with a realization that was not as anticipated. We now understand that within the household society was far more egalitarian than what we know. This prompted me to go back to the research board and dig a little deeper. What I found is to come in part two.Â

His latest book that he co-wrote with Jane Honikman : Parental mental health factoring in father guided our conversation in this very special episode.
Walter's story is a story of vulnerability and reshaping our male identity as we transition into fatherhood. We talk about providing our children tools we did not have. Overcoming trauma, addiction, and the traditional masculine identity in the face of the new reality of men and fathers. Â
What we captured here was an organic conversation about the transition from the 20s to the 30s age groups. With our friend Sam and new co-host Dave Ball, we discuss some of the major changes and their implications during this period. A light and pleasant yet important conversation. We will expand on this topic in our traditional format for those who want more.Â
