Will we ever see meaningful regulatory change?
How AI-generated content is exploding online to cash in on the wellness trend

The Professor of the Dark Arts, Dr Emily Dow returns by popular demand. Emily has seen a huge surge in popularity, and for good reason. Her media is thoughtful, intelligent, and extremely well communicated.
Emily joins me to talk about:
Why "high cortisol" has become the new hormonal imbalance
What cortisol actually does, and why acute elevations in cortisol are not only not bad for you, but essential to normal physiology
Is there any validity to the claim that cortisol elevation from training stress is harmful, especially for peri-menopausal women?
Why chronically elevated cortisol is a problem and how it develops
Why the phrase "hormone balancing" is often a red flag for pseudoscience
What common traits we see among unqualified influencers promoting trendy health boogeymen
What the research tells us about exercise and mental health
Does your brain benefit more from higher-intensity cardio than Zone 2?
A nuanced discussion on the Zone 2 versus higher-intensity cardio debate
Is part of Zone 2's benefit simply that it replaces unhealthy sedentary behaviors?
Thoughts on research headlines like "Carbohydrate intake does not affect muscle growth"
What "scope creep" means when experts are pressured to comment outside their area of expertise, such as peptides

Ashley Hodge is a strength coach and powerlifter and joins me to talk about her knowledge and experience with practical, evidence-based glute training.
Ashley shares her thoughts on:
Is glute training as complicated as glute influencers make it out to be?
Is there a difference in how you approach glute training for competitors versus the general population?
For the everyday person with time for only two full-body workouts each week, how should they maximize glute growth?
Practical wisdom for glute training that online-only influencers often fail to consider
Are common banded and bodyweight drills enough stimulus for glute growth?
Does it matter if you can't feel your glutes as much during heavy deadlifts or hip thrusts?
Why Ashley is still committed to in-person coaching
Why Ashley promotes step counts and walking challenges

Mike shares what we may see happen in the relatively near future, including:
Will we have access to drugs that build muscle without working out (and weâre not talking about PEDs)
Roughly when could we see approval and access to these drugs
How will AI expand our capacity to research and develop new pharmaceuticals
What should we expect from the next generation of fat loss drugs
How powerful will they be and will they have fewer potential side effects
Will the muscle-building drugs be an effective combo with the weight loss drugs
To what degree will people be able to create "designer physiques"
Will people stop working out if they can get the aesthetic and even health benefits of these drugs
Will people be and stay as happy as they think if they gain access to this degree of physique change
Is life extension a potential outcome of this revolution in pharmaceuticals
Will de-aging be possible

Steve Kamb joins me to talk about the ideas from his new book, How to Try Again: An Approachable Guide to Navigating Chaos and Making Change.
Steve shares wisdom about:
Which is harder: starting, or starting again
The "Back to Normal" fallacy
The importance of a bias toward action
Do people wait for optimal timing?
Do people believe it will go smoothly this time?
Do people fail to anticipate obvious and predictable obstacles?
Do people fail to allow for unforeseen obstacles?
When do we need to try again and when do we need to try something different?
How much do people try to control the wrong things?
How much of success comes down to one's attitude toward struggle and failure?
If you're someone who's been trying and faltering, this is for youâwhether in fitness and health, career, or life.

Dr Andy Fata-Chan is a Doctor of Physical Therapy.
Andy joins me to share mindset and wisdom gleaned from his journey from an underachieving and unfocused student to an in-demand mentor dominating the fitness industry, including:
What âI need to dream biggerâ means for Andy and for everyone
Is it easier to play small in life
Why changing can become a threat to the people in your life
Why people donât truly know the real you, they just know the version they need you to be
Why drinking less made career accomplishment better
Why the average person would rather try to slow your progress under the guise of âfixing your lifeâ than look inward and address their own problems and failures
Why Andy feels you may need to experience burnout early in your process
Understanding that success requires tradeoffs
What âThe world canât give you something that you havenât given yourselfâ means to Andy
Why people trap themselves within the familiar
And a mountain of more insight into thriving in career and life

Dr Mike Banna is a physician in the UK health care system and passionate health educator.
Mike guests to share his experience with:
Whatâs going on with âproâ and âantiâ GLP-1 medication people and tribes
Why fitness influencer fat loss drug opposition is rooted in fear and scarcity
How concern for alleged celebrity GLP-1 medication use tipped over into body shaming
Why coaching has never been more important with the proliferation of GLP-1 medication use
Why overprescription of these drugs and poor âwraparound careâ can lead to malnutrition
What are social determinants of health
Where discussion of social determinants of health has turned into disempowering messaging
How understanding social determinants of health and advocating for system change can coexist with an individual taking personal responsibility for their own health outcome
Why itâs essential to not just wait for the system to change
Why more doctors are becoming social media influencers and what positives they are creating
Do evidence-based doctors and PhDs have a responsibility to build online platforms to educate people
An explanation of Mikeâs viral video (that Snoop Dogg shared) where a dumbbell rack crashes on top of him
Plus much more

Dr. Eric Helms returns to add important nuance to the extreme and absolute claims we see on social media about building muscle.
Have you ever heard the following claims:
âOnly the last 5 reps count, everything else is junk volumeâ
âYou need to train to failure to build muscleâ
âThereâs no benefit to more than 1 hard set for hypertrophyâ
âYou never need to train more than 4â6 reps for hypertrophyâ
âPeople canât accurately assess their proximity to failure at higher rep rangesâ
Eric tackles these and more hypertrophy claims and concepts with research and provides:
Where they may hold technical truth
Where theyâre misleading
Where theyâre lacking critical context or nuance
Where they donât work for every population
Plus Eric explains why you might not be in calorie maintenance even though the scale stays constant while you gain muscle and lose fat, and how much of a calorie surplus do we really need to efficiently build muscle.
Eric brings practical reality to the divisive social media hypertrophy playground.
This is essential listening for anyone trying to build muscle, coaches people who want to build muscle, or feels confused about conflicting claims online.

Dr Meghan Sak-Ocbina is a Doctor of Physical Therapy and Strength Coach and joins the show to share her expertise on:
All the things your physical therapist wishes you knew
The issues within the system that make their role more difficult
The challenge between the cost of education and compensation in physical therapy
Their desire to give you the best care conflicting with the insurance model
Why burnout in physical therapy is a potential problem
What Meghan means by: âThe problem with most rehab, it never makes it into training. We treat rehab and training like theyâre separate lanes, when theyâre meant to do the same thing â drive adaptation.â
Why most people have at least one, if not a few, potential joint issues, and why this is normal and not necessarily a problem
Meghanâs response when a client was told by another clinician: âBecause she doesnât do sports, she doesnât need to train power.â
What Meghan means by: âYour injury isnât from what youâre doing, itâs from what youâre not doing.â

Martin MacDonald is one of my longest sought after guests and we finally got to sit down and record a podcast. And itâs worth the wait.
Youâve heard the narratives about:
Faster weight loss causes greater weight regain later
Slower fat loss leads to better long term success
Faster weight loss contributes to eating disorders
Faster weight loss causes metabolic damage
More aggressive dieting automatically causes greater muscle loss
Deeper calorie deficits cause more hunger
Well, what if we told you none of this is true and that thereâs 50 years of research and evidence to support aggressive dieting as a superior approach for most people.
Martin breaks down this evidence in a thorough masterclass on aggressive dieting. This includes:
The research and practice debunking all of the above long standing beliefs
Parameters on the appropriate rate of and approach to aggressive dieting
The advantages of taking a structured aggressive approach to dieting for fat loss
How an aggressive dieting approach can blunt hunger
Why shorter more aggressive periods of dieting can lead to better outcomes for most people
The handful of categories of people aggressive dieting isnât suitable for
Nuanced thoughts comparing GLP-1 medications to aggressive dieting
What Martin means by granting âUnconditional permission to eatâ
Changing beliefs with evidence across Martinâs career
Does anything change here with menopausal/peri-menopausal women
The importance of resistance training with aggressive dieting
And much more

Dr Jordan Feigenbaum is a medical doctor, strength coach, elite powerlifter, and founder of Barbell Medicine and joins me to break down the evidence about:
Why the narrative about losing muscle mass while using GLP-1 agonist and similar weight loss drugs may be more misleading than you believe
Why GLP-1 agonist drugs may be even better than diet alone for liver fat, even when equated for resistance training
Is overtraining real
What may really be going on instead of overtraining
Why recognizing that overtraining is mostly presented as a boogeyman helps trainees
The problem with moral narratives around weight loss drugs
Where weight loss drug resistance comes from with fitness professionals
Is there any evidence that weight loss drugs cause bone loss independent of calorie restriction
What Jordan means with the statement: âThe window for building bone density closes while most women are being told to do pilatesâ
Is there a relationship between form and injury risk
The problem with defining what âbad formâ is
