| 6/10/26 | ![]() Are You Training Hard Enough? (Hint: Probably Not) | The truth most fitness shows won't tell you: we're overestimating both how MUCH and how HARD we train. We think we're training. We're really just moving. Statistically speaking, only 24% of American adults meet the federal exercise guidelines. This episode breaks down what "training hard" actually means for strength versus cardio, why vigorous intensity is non-negotiable for longevity (a 2018 JAMA study found low VO2 max is a stronger mortality predictor than smoking), the two metrics that reveal whether your training is working (VO2 max and resting heart rate), and the exact protocols to fix it — including the Norwegian 4x4, the most-studied HIIT protocol in the world. If you ever question whether your training the right way for the long haul, this one's for you.PLUS, THIS WEEK'S HEALTH & FITNESS NEWS- How Big Tobacco helped shape the design of ultra-processed foods (and why you can't stop eating chips)- Your gut microbes determine how many calories you absorb — up to 150 per day from the same food- Alcohol linked to higher cancer risk even below one drink per day — the safe threshold is zero- 1 in 5 teens now turn to AI chatbots for mental health advice — and most keep it secret from parents- Sleep + vigorous exercise = 39% lower risk of depression and anxiety in middle ageSPONSORS/PRODUCTS I USE- Get nutritional supplements that work as hard as you do: www.puristnutrition.com- Upgrade to natural, high-quality male-grooming products at www.basedbodyworks.com, and use code word STRONGERWEEKLY for 20% off- Build a world-class home gym with Rep Fitness: www.repfitness.com- Bulletproof your drinking with Clutch; medication-assisted treatment from Oar Health: https://bit.ly/OarStrengthFOLLOW US ON ALL PLATFORMS:- Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/4at8Yhn- Spotify Podcasts: https://spoti.fi/3GAGVPJ- YouTube Channel: Stronger Weekly - YouTube- Visit our website here. - Subscribe to our newsletter here.

| 6/3/26 | ![]() Fitness for Busy Parents, Talking Nutrition with Kids & Real Supplement Stacks (AUA w/ Ben Barker) | Jesse and Ben Barker are back for an Ask Us Anything together, tackling listener questions on how much time busy parents really need to train (the realistic minimum), how to talk about nutrition with your kids without giving them food complexes, what's actually in their supplement stacks (no sponsored answers), how much weekly time it takes to check every fitness box (strength, muscle, cardio, mobility), whether you really need to squat-bench-deadlift to get strong, how to know if you're training for the wrong thing in a Hyrox-and-CrossFit world, what really works to drop the last five pounds, and how to navigate a spouse who thinks your training is excessive.Ben Barker is a returning guest, founder of Ben Barker Fitness, and one of the few voices in this space Jesse trusts to deliver straight answers.

| 5/27/26 | ![]() The Truth About Fitness Influencers (And Why You Shouldn't Trust Them) | Four in ten American adults — and half of adults under 50 — now get their health and fitness information from social media influencers. According to a landmark Pew Research study published this month, 16% of those influencers list ZERO credentials. No degrees. No certifications. No training. Just content, abs, and a follow button.This episode breaks down what the data actually shows, exposes the manipulative advice fitness consultants give new creators (take your shirt off, fire out content, build coaching funnels, sell $2,000 packages), and makes the case for why real fitness information can and should be free. Plus: why the U.S. is about to put a wellness influencer in charge of America's public health, and the heartwarming story of how a bakery, and its child narrators, are healing the internet.If you're tired of being sold to, lied to, and confused by people with no business giving you health advice — this one's for you.PLUS THIS WEEK'S HEALTH & FITNESS NEWS- Surgeon General issues new advisory on screen time for kids and teens — the limits will surprise you- CDC mobilizes international Ebola response after WHO declares public health emergency- Arts and culture engagement linked to slower biological aging — at the same rate as exercise- Drug overdose deaths decline for third straight year — 40,000 lives saved in two years- ACSM updates resistance training guidelines for first time in 17 years (and it's simpler than you think)SPONSORS/PRODUCTS I USE- Get nutritional supplements that work as hard as you do: www.puristnutrition.com- Upgrade to natural, high-quality male-grooming products at www.basedbodyworks.com, and use code word STRONGERWEEKLY for 20% off- Build a world-class home gym with Rep Fitness: www.repfitness.com- Bulletproof your drinking with Clutch; medication-assisted treatment from Oar Health: https://bit.ly/OarStrengthFOLLOW US ON ALL PLATFORMS:- Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/4at8Yhn- Spotify Podcasts: https://spoti.fi/3GAGVPJ- YouTube Channel: Stronger Weekly - YouTube- Visit our website here. - Subscribe to our newsletter here.

| 5/20/26 | ![]() GLP-1s and Muscle Loss: What Ozempic Users Need to Know | One in eight American adults have now tried a GLP-1 (Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, Zepbound). The drugs work—people lose 15-22% of their body weight in clinical trials. But new research published this month confirms what many suspected: 25-40% of that weight loss is muscle, not fat. That is catastrophic for long-term metabolic health, strength, and healthspan.This episode breaks down the latest meta-analysis, explains why muscle loss matters (it's not just vanity—muscle is your metabolic engine, structural support, and predictor of longevity), and offers five practical steps to preserve muscle if you're on or considering GLP-1s. If you're considering GLP-1s, on them currently, or have an aging parent using them—this is the conversation you need to hear.PLUS THIS WEEK'S HEALTH & FITNESS NEWS- Mayo Clinic’s AI detects pancreatic cancer up to 3 years before clinical diagnosis- Tick bite surge — early-season Lyme disease risk hits the Northeast- The simple at-home strength test JAMA Network Open just linked to longevity- The exact daily step count that prevents weight regain after dieting- GLP-1 muscle loss — the biggest health and fitness story of the weekSPONSORS/PRODUCTS I USE- Get nutritional supplements that work as hard as you do: www.puristnutrition.com- Upgrade to natural, high-quality male-grooming products at www.basedbodyworks.com, and use code word STRONGERWEEKLY for 20% off- Build a world-class home gym with Rep Fitness: www.repfitness.com- Bulletproof your drinking with Clutch; medication-assisted treatment from Oar Health: https://bit.ly/OarStrength- Take 30% all Batch THC/CBD edible products at hellobatch.com/strongerweekly and use code word STRONGERWEEKLY at checkoutFOLLOW US ON ALL PLATFORMS:- Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/4at8Yhn- Spotify Podcasts: https://spoti.fi/3GAGVPJ- YouTube Channel: Stronger Weekly - YouTube- Visit our website here. - Subscribe to our newsletter here.

| 5/13/26 | ![]() Stop Doing These 8 Exercises (Safer Alternatives for Muscle Growth) | Most people think barbell back squats, conventional deadlifts, and wide-grip pull-ups are non-negotiable. They're not. Many of the most common exercises quietly wreck joints while safer alternatives deliver the same muscle activation with a fraction of the injury risk. This episode lays out the 8 riskiest exercises, backed by research, AND gives you safer swaps for each one.When it comes to fitness, you should choose smart exercises with high-return, with lower risk...especially as you age. If you're nearing 30 and want to stay strong, athletic, and durable for the next 50 years—this is your playbook.PLUS THIS WEEK'S HEALTH & FITNESS NEWS- A deadly virus is spreading across continents—and dozens left the ship without being traced- RFK Jr. wants America off antidepressants—doctors say not so fast- Creatine is not just a gym supplement anymore—scientists are rethinking everything it does- Pew Research just mapped the wild west of health influencers—and the results are worth knowing- Your abs might be washing your brain—and scientists just figured out howSPONSORS/PRODUCTS I USE- Get nutritional supplements that work as hard as you do: www.puristnutrition.com- Upgrade to natural, high-quality male-grooming products at www.basedbodyworks.com, and use code word STRONGERWEEKLY for 20% off- Build a world-class home gym with Rep Fitness: www.repfitness.com- Bulletproof your drinking with Clutch; medication-assisted treatment from Oar Health: https://bit.ly/OarStrength- Take 30% all Batch THC/CBD edible products at hellobatch.com/strongerweekly and use code word STRONGERWEEKLY at checkoutFOLLOW US ON ALL PLATFORMS:- Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/4at8Yhn- Spotify Podcasts: https://spoti.fi/3GAGVPJ- YouTube Channel: Stronger Weekly - YouTube- Visit our website here. - Subscribe to our newsletter here.

| 2/11/26 | ![]() Why Most People Are Dehydrated (And How to Fix It) | A majority of Americans are dehydrated, while three out of four drink less than 3 cups of water per day.

Dr. Moss is a Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation physician who's built a following of over 450,000 people by saying what most doctors won't: that our healthcare system is broken, and that strength, nutrition, and metabolic health are the real medicine.In this episode, Dr. Moss breaks down why modern medicine has lost its way, what biomarkers actually predict your future health, and exactly how to train, eat, and live to extend your healthspan—the number of years you live healthy, strong, and independent.What you will learn: Why Modern Medicine FailsDr. Moss explains how the current medical system prioritizes symptom management over root-cause solutions.Strength Training as MedicineDr. Moss breaks down why resistance training should be prescribed like medication, how it changes long-term health outcomes, and what happens when you lose muscle mass in your 60s, 70s, and 80s.Nutrition for Metabolic HealthWe discuss how nutrition can be used as a therapeutic tool, the supplements he recommends as foundational, and which metabolic markers matter most.Biomarkers That Actually Predict Your FutureNot all bloodwork is created equal. Dr. Moss reveals which biomarkers give the clearest picture of someone's future health, how often you should get tested, and what numbers to track if you care about healthspan over lifespan.Sleep, Stress, and RecoveryDr. Moss breaks down how much sleep we really need, whether cold plunges and saunas are worth the investment, and what his own daily routine looks like when he's optimizing for health.The Perfect Week for Strength and HealthspanDr. Moss maps out exactly what a week should look like if you want to build physical and mental strength while extending your healthspan. How should you train? What should you eat? What habits matter most? He gives you a clear, actionable roadmap.This isn't about living longer just to suffer through your final decade in a nursing home.

| 1/16/26 | ![]() Trump's Healthcare Plan, Mental Health Crisis, Food Preservatives Linked to Cancer & Record Gym Growth | Health & Fitness News | This week's health and fitness headlines cover major policy chaos, new health research, and some surprisingly good news from the fitness industry.In This Episode:Mental Health Funding Chaos – The Trump administration cut $2 billion in mental health and addiction treatment grants affecting 2,000+ organizations nationwide, only to reverse the decision 24 hours later after bipartisan backlash. We break down what happened, why it matters for vulnerable communities, and what this means for the stability of mental health services moving forward.Trump's "Great Healthcare Plan" – President Trump announced a new healthcare proposal promising to send money directly to Americans instead of insurance companies, with plans to lower prescription drug prices and increase price transparency. But the plan is light on specifics. We examine what's actually in it, what's missing (including the expired ACA subsidies that doubled premiums for millions), and what busy families need to know right now.Food Preservatives Linked to Cancer and Diabetes – Two major French studies published in The BMJ and Nature Communications found that common food preservatives—sodium nitrite, potassium nitrate, and potassium sorbate—are linked to significantly higher risks of prostate cancer, breast cancer, and type 2 diabetes.

| 1/13/26 | ![]() The Smart Cardio Program: How to Burn Fat, Improve VO2 Max, and Build Heart Health Without Burning Out | What if you could build a cardio program that burns fat, improves your VO2 max, and supports long-term heart health—without spending hours on boring Zone 2 cardio or killing yourself with constant HIIT workouts?Most people approach cardiovascular training all wrong. They either do endless steady-state cardio and wonder why they're not getting results, or they beat themselves up with high-intensity intervals six days a week and end up overtrained, injured, or burned out.In this episode of Stronger Weekly, I'm breaking down the exact cardio training program you need if you're a busy parent or professional who wants:- Better body composition (lose fat, stay lean)- Improved heart health and longevity (lower resting heart rate, better cardiovascular fitness)- Higher VO2 max (one of the strongest predictors of how long you'll live)- A program that actually fits your life (without becoming a full-time athlete)This episode is NOT for endurance athletes training for marathons or HYROX competitors doing brutal workouts five days a week. This is for normal people who strength train 3-4 days per week and want to layer in smart, efficient cardio work that delivers real results.SPONSORS- Get nutritional supplements that work as hard as you do: www.puristnutrition.com- Build a world-class home gym with Rep Fitness: www.repfitness.com- Bulletproof your drinking with Clutch; medication-assisted treatment from Oar Health: https://bit.ly/OarStrengthFOLLOW US ON ALL PLATFORMS- Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/4at8Yhn- Spotify Podcasts: https://spoti.fi/3GAGVPJ- YouTube Channel: Stronger Weekly - YouTube- Visit our website here. - Subscribe to our newsletter here.

| 1/6/26 | ![]() Why New Year’s Resolutions Fail (And How to Make Them STICK in 2026) | Most New Year’s resolutions fail within weeks — and it’s not a willpower problem.In this solo episode of Stronger Weekly, I break down the real data behind New Year’s resolutions, the history of why we make them, and the psychological reasons they so often collapse. We look at what the research actually shows about behavior change — and why motivation, pressure, and “fresh start” thinking tend to backfire.I also share my own personal resolutions for the year ahead, as practical systems designed to support long-term health, consistency, and progress. We explore how to set realistic goals, avoid all-or-nothing thinking, and build habits that last beyond January.If you want a smarter approach to goal-setting — one built around how humans actually change — this episode gives you a better framework to start the year.SPONSORS- Get nutritional supplements that work as hard as you do: www.puristnutrition.com- Build a world-class home gym with Rep Fitness: www.repfitness.com- Bulletproof your drinking with Clutch; medication-assisted treatment from Oar Health: https://bit.ly/OarStrengthFOLLOW US ON ALL PLATFORMS- Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/4at8Yhn- Spotify Podcasts: https://spoti.fi/3GAGVPJ- YouTube Channel: Stronger Weekly - YouTube- Visit our website here. - Subscribe to our newsletter here.
