#55 PART II | Dewey Built a Boxing League From a Conversation on an Airplane
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. 🔗 CONNECT WITH AGELESS FOREVER Website: https://agelessforever.net/ #CoffeeWithDoc #AgelessForever #BlackCobra #DeweyCooper #FrancisNgannou #TeamBoxingLeague #Boxing #Kickboxing #MentalHealth #Faith #Coaching #LasVegas #

#55 The Black Cobra's Origin Story: From LA Gangs to World Champion (Part 1)
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. 🔗 CONNECT WITH AGELESS FOREVER Website: https://agelessforever.net/ [Add: Instagram / Facebook / TikTok / booking link] #CoffeeWithDoc #AgelessForever #BlackCobra #DeweyCooper #Kickboxing #CombatSports #K1 #FrancisNgannou #TeamCombatLeague #Muaythai #Boxing #LasVegas #Mentorship #Motivation

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

In this episode: Ron's pivot from 30 years of in-person training to scaling an online coaching business Why he built his niche around men over 40 The case for accountability — including client check-in calls and photo proof — over willpower alone Why the "80/20 cheat day" math often erases a week of progress Why diet and cardio outweigh training intensity for most online clients The case for simple, repeatable meals over variety How Ron approaches supplement recommendations and blood work referrals Ron's coronary calcium score, coming off a statin, and the supplement stack that helped reverse it Advanced screening tools: low-dose CT lung scans and the Galleri liquid biopsy cancer test Healthspan vs. lifespan, and why staying disciplined gets harder — not easier — with age Timestamps: [00:01:00] Ron's shift from in-person training to online coaching [00:03:00] Building a business niche: men over 40 [00:05:00] Why "walking the walk" matters for trainer credibility [00:07:00] Accountability coaching & weekly check-in calls [00:08:00] VO2 max, DEXA & DNA testing with "the DNA Diva" [00:10:00] Why some clients need photo proof of every meal [00:11:00] The math behind why cheat days wreck progress [00:12:00] Momentum first, then strategic cheat meals [00:14:00] Online coaching priorities: diet, cardio, then training [00:15:00] Teaching clients to meal prep [00:16:00] Why consistency beats variety (the ground turkey taco story) [00:17:00] How Ron approaches supplement recommendations [00:18:00] Telehealth blood work vs. in-person testing [00:19:00] A gold membership offer & Ron's calcium score history [00:20:00] Nattokinase, K2 & Arterosil — Ron's supplement stack [00:21:00] How Ron's calcium score dropped 50% [00:22:00] Why Ron quit his statin [00:23:00] The low-dose CT lung scan & the Galleri cancer blood test [00:24:00] A look at Ageless Forever's full testing panel [00:25:00] VO2 max as a predictor of healthy aging [00:26:00] Healthspan vs. lifespan — and the Gary Brecka joke [00:27:00] Living to exist vs. living to enjoy retirement [00:28:00] Why staying healthy takes more discipline with age [00:29:00] Wrap-up & where to find Ron Find Ron: Instagram & Facebook @RonStevensIFBB | YouTube | TikTok

#54 PART 1 Leaving Ego at the Door: How a Pro Bodybuilder Trains Smarter After 50
IFBB Pro bodybuilder Ron Stevens joins Coffee With Doc for Part 1 of a two-part conversation. Ron has trained in Las Vegas since 1992 — one of the first nationally certified personal trainers in the city — and most recently competed at the 2026 IFBB Tampa Pro. He and Dr. John J. Pierce dig into how decades of injuries (torn pecs, a torn bicep, and a distal quad tendon torn off the bone) forced Ron to trade heavy loads for a time-under-tension approach, what it takes to eat 270-300 grams of protein a day on a cod-heavy diet, and why he handed his dieting decisions over to a coach to take the emotion out of it. The conversation closes with a candid look at Ron's sleep apnea diagnosis and the recovery stack — sauna, cold plunge, red light therapy, and a box-breathing protocol — he leans on to keep training at a pro level. Disclaimer: The information provided by this podcast is for informational purposes only and should not be considered medical advice. It is not intended to replace professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always seek the advice of your healthcare provider with any questions regarding a medical condition. In this episode: Ron's path from San Diego State track & football to Las Vegas personal training pioneer The old-school NASM certification process vs. today's online tests Why Ron has little patience for undertrained personal trainers A career's worth of injuries — and the mindset shift from "push harder" to "pull back" Time under tension vs. maxing out: how Ron trains legs and chest now John Meadows' risk-reward philosophy and why Ron applies it to his own lifts Ron's diet: 270-300g protein/day, a cod-heavy meal plan, and calorie cycling from 1,500-3,000 calories Diagnosing and managing sleep apnea — CPAP, mouthpieces, and Dr. Gil Suarez Ron's recovery protocol: sauna, cold plunge, red light therapy, grounding, and box breathing Timestamps: [00:01:00] Introducing IFBB Pro Ron Stevens [00:03:00] Track star to San Diego State [00:04:00] Moving to Vegas, becoming a certified trainer [00:05:00] The Sporting House, Dana White & old Vegas gym culture [00:06:00] Why trainer certifications used to mean something [00:07:00] Ron on today's undertrained "trainers" [00:09:00] How training evolved after the injuries piled up [00:10:00] Torn quads, pecs & a bicep — Ron's injury history [00:12:00] Time under tension over heavy loads [00:13:00] The bench press injury that ended an era [00:14:00] John Meadows & the risk-reward of high-risk lifts [00:15:00] Maintaining muscle mass after 50 [00:16:00] 270-300g of protein a day: Ron's diet breakdown [00:17:00] Calorie cycling & handing control to a coach [00:18:00] Dieting through an ER residency [00:19:00] Getting into single-digit body fat [00:20:00] Ron's daily routine & meal timing [00:21:00] Training once a day to maximize time [00:22:00] Ron's sleep apnea diagnosis [00:23:00] Mouthpieces, CPAP & Dr. Gil Suarez [00:25:00] Sauna, cold plunge & red light therapy [00:26:00] Ron's sauna-to-cold-plunge recovery protocol [00:27:00] Box breathing & the psychology of cold exposure
