In whatâs generally regarded as one of the ultimate expressions of athleticism, Muhammad Ali in his prime could âfloat like a butterfly and sting like a beeâ.
Itâs rare to see a 260lb (118kg) man who looks like a bodybuilder but moves like a ballerina. Itâs rarer still - and perhaps even unique - when that man is a father and combat veteran in his mid-forties with a demanding full-time job.
Enter Judd Lienhard, the former collegiate athlete and US Army Ranger officer turned speed and performance coach.
In an Unfiltered exclusive, we speak to Lienhard to discover his remarkable story from growing up in rural Missouri, through his collegiate American football career, his time as an elite solider, right up to today, and his work with athletes - Lienhard believes everyone is an athlete regardless of competitive status - of all ages.
We learn the secrets of his remarkable rise in social media popularity, swelling his follower count on Instagram from fewer than 10,000 to almost 600,000 people in just a few months, and his transformative exercise and coaching techniques that have captured the attention of fitness enthusiasts around the world.
We also delve deep into Leinhardâs philosophy of âAlways Be An Athleteâ, exploring how his years of varied experience - and over 34,000 training hours as a coach across various demographics - shape his innovative training methods. We also discover the secrets behind his MASS Method, a holistic program emphasising movement, athleticism, strength, and speed, designed to enhance athletic performance, increase muscle mass and promote longevity.
Leinhard shares personal stories from his military service where he earned a Bronze Star for his bravery, and discuss how these experiences have influenced his approach to training and life. His candid reflections on the impact of military life, combined with his professional insights, provide a unique perspective on resilience and personal growth.
Wherever you are in your fitness journey, this interview has something for you. Packed full of Leinhardâs practical advice on staying motivated, overcoming challenges, and achieving peak performance, donât miss the chance to learn from one of the most dynamic coaches in the industry as he shares tips that are as applicable to lifeâs battles as they are to sport and fitness.

With notable exceptions - such as abortion and euthanasia - few medical interventions elicit such a polarisation of opinion as TRT.
But why does the mere mention of testosterone replacement therapy provoke such strong views?
In recent years the TRT market has exploded into public view. Once the hush-hush secret of Hollywood elites and high-flying CEOs, TRT has become much more mainstream, shedding its exclusive reputation to become an everyday option, much like female-focused hormone replacement therapy (HRT), a completely uncontroversial and a widely-used medical intervention for decades.
Despite its rising popularity, TRT is often regarded with suspicion, and the increased attention has served to increase - not decrease - the many myths and misconceptions surrounding its use
What is TRT? Is it healthy? Is it cheating? Who really needs it? Can it really revolutionise quality of life and performance inside and outside the gym? And, most importantly, is it safe?
To shine a light on TRT, its uses and its impact, Unfiltered spoke to Ali Gilbert, a globally-recognised expert in menâs health and TRT.
Popular on social media where sheâs celebrated for both her expertise and insights as well as her unique educational style, able to break down complex information into straightforward and actionable advice, all delivered with honesty and a big helping of humour - Gilbert has forged a career debunking the most persistent and enduring myths around testosterone, and menâs health in general.
If you have even the slightest interest in muscle, masculinity and maximising how good you look, feel and perform, this conversation is one you wonât want to miss.

Itâs said that the fastest way to start an argument online is to post about politics. But talking about nutrition canât be too far behind in whatâs most likely to annoy, rankle and infuriate anyone who comes into contact with your comment, however innocent or innocuous you think it is.
Much like politics, and many other matters in the modern world, nutrition and, by extension supplementation, have become tribal topics, with specific approaches to eating now subject to a fierce and impassioned championing or evisceration by highly vocal minorities, who believe one dietary approach as not only nutritionally, but also morally, superior to all others.
One man who has seen countless nutritional trends, fads and crazes come and go over the years - remember raspberry ketones, anyone? - is Ian Marber, one of the most respected and established voices of cool, calm and collected insight into all aspects of food, eating and nutrition.
In an entertaining and common sense-resetting conversation with Unfiltered editor-in-chief Joe Warner, Ian details his rigorously analytical approach to dietary advice, acquired through decades of experience with thousands of clients, that cuts through the prevalent myths and misconceptions that often muddy the water of the surprisingly straight-forward nutritional sciences.
And in an important reminder of the many nuanced roles eating plays in our life aside from providing energy and nutrition, specifically in providing the social glue that strengthens and deepens our most important connections, Ian explains how you can forge a healthier and happier relationship with food.
Whether want to improve your diet, elevate your nutritional knowledge, or make better and more informed decisions about the food you eat, Ian Marber is the voice of reason in an increasingly noisy and unhinged diet-focused world.

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome is a condition most women will have heard of, but youâll only truly appreciate just how debilitating a disorder it can be if youâre unlucky enough to be one in the 10 women globally who suffer from it. âšâšâš
In simple terms PCOS is an endocrine disorder characterised by a variety of symptoms that can severely impact life quality: irregular menstrual cycles, infertility, weight gain, acne, and excessive hair growth are just the tip of the iceberg.
But in reality itâs a hugely complex condition. Beneath these symptoms lie heightened risks of developing life-changing problems, including diabetes, heart disease, and mental health challenges, making PCOS much more than a reproductive or hormonal disorder.
Enter Dr Fiona McCulloch, whose own journey with PCOS has not only shaped her professional focus but also fuelled her passion for helping others navigate this challenging landscape.
Her book - 8 Steps to Reverse PCOS - offers a beacon of hope for sufferers of all ages, providing actionable advice grounded in scientific research and clinical practice.
Dr McCulloch's approach dismantles the often one-dimensional treatment strategies typically offered to PCOS sufferers. Sheâs particularly critical of the widespread use of the oral contraceptive pill, which, while regulating menstrual cycles, does little to address the hormonal imbalances at the core of PCOS.
In an advice-packed conversation with Unfiltered editor-in-chief Joe Warner, Dr McCulloch explains her reasons for advocating a holistic approach to managing the condition, emphasising the power of diet and exercise in restoring hormonal balance - especially insulin resistance, a frequent companion of PCOS - and enhancing overall well-being.
Ultimately, Dr McCullochâs key message is empowerment to provide women with the advice, insight and confidence they need to seize control of their PCOS, rather than let the condition continue to control every aspect of their lives.

How would you celebrate your 1000th birthday?
As fanciful as it sounds, many scientists working at the cutting-edge of life-extension medicine and technology believe that milestone is in reach. Some even believe that the first human to live to reach four figures has not only been born, but is already well into middle-age.
Which begs the question, is ageing an inevitable part of life?
Or is it just another type of disease, not a destiny?
Can ageing, like many other illnesses that used to cut short human lifespan, be cured? Can it be engineered into extinction? Are we really on the cusp on being able to live forever?
Aubrey de Grey thinks so.
A leading figure in biogerontology, the study of the biological basis of ageing and age-related diseases, de Grey has spent his professional life working to show that ageing can be first stopped and then reversed.
By systematically identifying and repairing the molecular and cellular damage that accumulates in our bodies, he suggests we can significantly extend not just human lifespan but, far more crucially, our healthspan.
If de Grey is right, it heralds a future where you could live in the prime of your life indefinitely as new technologies and treatments are continuously invented to stop your biological clock from ever ticking even a second forward.
The implications are hard to fathom. Not only for you and your family, but for the entire world. The social, economic and political ramifications and upheaval would change every facet of our current world order practically overnight.
In a fascinating conversation with Unfiltered editor-in-chief Joe Warner, de Grey reveals the latest breakthroughs of anti-ageing research - including the targeted removal of senescent cells to the repair of damaged tissues via stem cell and gene editing tools. These interventions and others, he says, will transform the way we age and live, and force us all to reconsider how we perceive and understand the boundaries of human life.
As we stand on the brink of what would be the most significant medical breakthroughs in human history, Aubrey de Grey provides essential insight for anyone interested in the intersection of health, technology, medicine and ethics.

There are few things people fear, especially once they enter middle-age, as much as major cognitive decline. Neurodegenerative diseases, such as dementia, affect more than 55 million people worldwide, with 10 million new cases every year, according to the World Health Organisation.
Alzheimerâs disease is the most common form of dementia, accounting for between 60% to 70% of all cases â and dementia is the seventh leading cause of death globally and one of the major causes of disability and dependency amongst older people.
But itâs not all bad news because certain lifestyle interventions can significantly reduce your risk of severe cognitive decline.
For example, thereâs strong evidence to suggest - and most experts agree - that exercise, good nutrition and learning new skills help mitigate your risk.
One factor you might not know about, however, is educational achievement.
Assuming smart training, good nutrition and a burning desire to acquire new skills and knowledge can ward off dementia - and potentially increase lifespan - Dr Tommy Wood's brain should be firing on all cyclinders until heâs at least 200 years old.
The leading neuroscientist has spent his career excelling not only academically but also athletically, turning his hand from ultra-marathons to CrossFit competitions to strongman events.
âšIn a scintillating and wide-ranging conversation with Unfilteredâs very own brains-and-brawn ambassador - contributing editor Dr Jonny Rees, PhD - Dr Wood delivers a masterclass of life-changing advice and insight.
Not only does he provide actionable strategies and tips to reduce your risk of dementia and other types of cognitive decline, he also discusses head trauma and concussion, and what you can do in the immediate aftermath to limit the damage they cause.
Dr Wood also demystifies some of the most frequently misunderstood concepts in the health and longevity arena, including autophagy - the process by which cells recycle their own components - and how to stimulate it for greater health (clue: itâs not fasting, despite what you may have seen on social media).
If youâve even been confused about the best lifestyle practices to adopt to remain fitter, healthier and happier for longer, or are constantly scratching your head about how seemingly conflicting and contradictory advice fits together, Dr Wood will set the record straight, once and for all.

Inspired - and frustrated - by seeing the same creatine question get asked time and again on Reddit, serial entrepreneur Sol Orwell co-founded sports nutrition research service Examine.com in 2011, growing from a two-man-band in Toronto, Canada, to the worldâs most trusted authority on critiquing the claims made by the $380-billion-a-year global supplement industry.
But, as he reveals in a wide-ranging interview with Unfiltered's editor-in-chief Joe Warner, internal mistakes and worldwide pandemics have pushed the business to the brink.
Yet an uncompromising stance on employee welfare and remaining true to his âNorth Starâ means Orwell has refused eight-figure offers for the company to maintain complete control and keep Examine.com focused on what it does best. And, as he explains, he's only just getting started.

It would be difficult to overstate Stan Efferdingâs impact on the world of health, fitness and performance.
Having reached the pinnacle of both bodybuilding and powerlifting - he is both a world record holding powerlifter and an IFBB professional bodybuilder - he is now one of the most highly sought after consultants to many of the worldâs most popular and successful athletes across an incredibly wide range of sports. Clients include four-time Worldâs Strongest Man Brian Shaw, Icelandic strongman and Game of Thrones âThe Mountainâ HafĂŸĂłr Björnsson, and WWE Hall of Fame wrestler Stone Cold Steve Austin.
As hard as it is to imagine now, Efferding was once considered too small for soccer, with a physique âlike a number 2 pencilâ. He began training at his coachâs request to bulk up while on a soccer scholarship to the University of Oregon.
The rest is history. From weighing just 98lbs (44kg or 7st) in high school, to 135lbs in college, to a peak of over 300lbs (140kg or 22st), and a strength or physique accolade to match every pound gained, Efferding translates his unique blend of 30 years of research and application into practical actionable tips, hard-won insights, and unforgettable phrases.
In a wide-ranging conversation with Unfilteredâs contributing editor Dr Jonny Rees, PhD, Efferding reveals his take on optimal training and nutrition for both muscle gain and fat loss. He also details the tried-and-tested principles that form the foundation of The Vertical Diet, his performance-based nutritional framework, how he successfully competed in both powerlifting and bodybuilding, and much more.
In a health and fitness industry struggling from a plague of Instagram "experts' with few credentials and limited experience, Efferding is the cure we need.

Artificial intelligence and wearable technology have already had a huge impact on improving elite athletic performance, and many of these technological breakthroughs are beginning to trickle down into the amateur athletic space.
But if the relationship between AI, smart tech and physical performance is still in its nascency, just how big an impact can and will it have on pushing the limits of human potential to a previously unimaginable level?
Unfiltered's editor-in-chief Joe Warner sat down with Dr Mikael Mattsson, PhD, co-founder and CEO of human performance intelligence company svexa in the heart of Silicon Valley to discover how both existing and evolving AI technology will steer and shape professional sport over the coming decade, and what it will mean for both athletes and armchair viewers.
Svexa works with a number of top-flight teams across a number of sports, both in Europe and North America, and a key part of any conversation around AI and elite performance is the evolving role human managers and coaches will have in professional sport.
Because if AI can monitor and analyse hundreds, or thousands, of biometric and other performance data points in real time, which it can, and then make performance or tactical recommendations based on that data, which it does, where do the humans fit in?
Will the English Premier League become a multi billion-dollar version of the Football Manager computer simulation game, in which player recruitment, management and deployment is essentially based on marks out of 20 for a range of tangible and intangible skills, with an AI âcoachâ responsible for all tactical changes, decisions and substitutions?
Will this relegate the role of a coach to little more than a friendly face who puts an arm round the shoulder after a bad day at the office?
And, for you, what impact will AI and automated coaching have on your 5k time, or your five-a-side teamâs results? Even if you reach new personal highs, can you ever love an algorithm as much as a human whoâs fully invested in making you better?

âHow do I introduce myself? It depends who Iâm talking to and what I want to get out the conversation!â
When you wear as many hats as Shaun Stafford it can be tricky to succinctly summarise exactly what it is you do.
Of course, thereâs the body. A two-time WBFF Physique world champion, Stafford will always be known for a muscular and lean body thatâs graced multiple magazine covers and advertisements for sports nutrition supplement brands (he represented Reflex Nutrition, Optimum Nutrition and currently Ghost).
But thereâs the brain as well as the brawn. As founder and managing director of London-based personal training gym City Athletic, Stafford has proved he can build a successful business as well as a show-stopping body.
In an exclusive interview with editor-in-chief Joe Warner, Stafford reveals how he maintains his cover model body despite the rigorous demands of running a growing business as well as raising two growing boys, and details how he bounced back from losing almost all of his social media reach â and significant monthly revenue â when Instragram updated its algorithm.
He also explains why so many fitness models and competitors with world-class physiques struggle with mental health issues related to unhappiness with their bodies, and details the huge sacrifices required to build an incredible physique that make bodybuilding the most selfish sport on the planet.

That the world is gripped by a mental health crisis is not in question.
What remains unanswered is how we begin to solve the suffering that's affecting millions of people all around the world.
Matias Serebrinsky, co-founder and general partner at psychedelic treatment investment fund PsyMed Ventures, believes unequivocally that the answer lies in psychedelic medicine, and that the imminent next generation of psychedelic therapies that will provide greater efficacy without any side-effects.
If so, it will redraw the battle lines in the war against mental illness and finally give us the solution to a previously unsolvable problem.
But is he right?
Unfiltered's editor-in-chief Joe Warner met Serebrinsky in San Francisco to find out why he is so convinced we are close to winning the war against mental illness.For exclusive access to all Unfiltered's video interviews, features and documentaries visit https://unfilteredonline.com/

Rick Collins, the world-renowned legal authority on testosterone and other performance-enhancing drugs, explains to Unfiltered's Dr Jonny Rees, PhD, where the lawâs got it wrong in demonising steroids, and why the guy who wants to get jacked for his holiday should never be penalised harder than the professional sport drug cheat.
âI was an apple in an orange parade.â
When Rick Collins went to law school not many people there looked like him.
As a personal trainer and competitive bodybuilder he wasnât buying suits off the peg like his classmates. Itâs this start to his legal profession that has seen him became a world-renowned legal authority on testosterone and other performance and image-enhancing drugs.
In his extensive career he has served as lead defense attorney on countless criminal cases and doping allegations involving anabolic steroids and related drugs nationwide and internationally, including the Bay Area Laboratory Co-operartive (BALCO) scandal that shocked professional sport in the early 2000s. (BALCO, founded by Victor Conte, supplied performance-enhancing drugs to a number of household name athletes, including Olympic gold medal-winning sprinter Marion Jones.)
He also serves as General Counsel to the International Society of Sports Nutrition (ISSN), is a legal advisor to the Pro League of the International Federation of BodyBuilders (IFBB), and his New York-based law firm, Collins Gann McCloskey & Barry PLLC, represents numerous companies in the sports nutrition industry.
Itâs this experience and insight that makes him the perfect expert to explain where he thinks we are going right and, critically, when we have gone wrong in legitimising and demonising different drugs based on their impact on performance, health and public perception.

Dave Wright, as you can soon tell from the first five seconds of our Unfiltered conversation, is a straight-talking and passionate Australian who has been a vocal and impactful supporter of the fitness industry for more than three decades.
A serial entrepreneur â he is the founder and CEO of Myzone; the owner and CEO of Creative Fitness Marketing; and the co-owner of the Voyage Fitness brand in Australia â and board director of ukactive, the not-for-profit fitness industry association, he has a unique ability of understanding the industry from all angles and a unique voice to lobby our elected officials when he believes theyâre neglecting their duties.
And itâs fair to say heâs not been best pleased with the response heâs had from politicians in both Westminster and Washington to his demands for government to act now to tackle the obesity epidemic that threatens to cripple national healthcare systems.
But just because he doesnât like what heâs hearing, he has no intention of shutting up until he gets what he wants.

Human enhancement technologies are already changing the nature of military recruitment, training and war-zone deployment.
And, as with everything that is invented with the primary aim of increasing the odds of military victory, it is only a matter of time before these nascent technologies trickle down to civilian life.
For Andrew Herr, founder of performance concierge service Fount, his former professional role as a Pentagon advisor makes it clear which side of the fence heâs on in exploring the fullest potential of these technologies, both for military and civilian purposes.
But while what happens on the front line is quite literally a matter of life and death, the stakes are high in a different way on a professional sports field or a corporate HQ board room.
Given the inevitable rise of military-grade human enhancement hardware and software solutions into civilian populations, how concerned is he by the short-, medium- and long-term implications of significant increases in human cognitive and physiological performance?
And how do we ensure these technologies are available to all, and not just a super-rich minority who could exploit their newfound skills and capabilities to consolidate even greater power, wealth and influence?

Confidence is the cornerstone of success in any personal, professional and performance endeavour.
But many of us get caught in a vicious cycle of telling ourselves what we canât do, rather than what we can.
And we repeatedly talk ourselves down in a way that we would never dare dream of speaking to our friends, family or colleagues.
This was the case for leading strength coach Jay Ferruggia who, despite his many successes in his 30-year coaching career, wasnât always the calm, collected and confident man we meet in our exclusive Unfiltered interview.
In a wide-ranging conversation with Unfiltered contributing editor Dr Jonny Rees, PhD, that also covers his world-leading expertise on training, nutrition and recovery for strength, hypertrophy and optimal performance, Ferruggia explains how he built unwavering confidence and self-belief in his own abilities which propelled him to success, and how you can learn to become a master storyteller to take back control of your internal narrative to start living the life youâve always wanted.

To say that there is a lack of trust in the established practices of western medicine is something of an understatement.
Since the rise of social media you donât have to search very far to find a significant number of widely followed and well-credentialed experts highly critical of modern medical methodology, or who claim that much of the accepted understanding, teaching and treatment of almost all health ailments are fundamentally wrong, and even go against the âfirst, do no harmâ central tenet of the Hippocratic oath.
Some of main areas of medicine in the firing line are the current efforts to tackle dementia and other neurodegenerative diseases; ignoring potential therapeutic nutritional strategies, such as ketogenic diets or the carnivore diet to combat chronic illness where traditional remedies have failed; and even whether novel attempts to dramatically extend human lifespan should be encouraged or curtailed.
Yet no subject draws the level of clamour, controversy and conspiracy than the discourse around the impact of the food we eat on our weight, and whether government-issued guidelines on exactly what we should eat, and how much, are actually causing the widespread obesity epidemic, instead of solving it.
One of the most vocal critics of our long-standing dietary recommendations is Dr Robert Lufkin, MD, a former professor in world-leading medical research and teaching institutes.
He believes much of what he taught his students was wrong and is so convinced heâs right heâs written a book âThe Lies I Taught In Medical Schoolâ to document the error of his ways - and the make his case for why the next generation of med school students, who will ultimately become our doctors of the future, deserve a better and more accurate education.
In our exclusive interview with Unfiltered editor-in-chief Joe Warner, recorded in Los Angeles, California, Dr Lufkin explains the biggest lies he believes he taught, why he told them, and what damage he thinks the âmiseducationâ of young doctors has had on American society.
And in a wide-ranging conversation he also discussed the role Big Tobacco has in creating the âfast food nationsâ in which many of us now live and the impact itâs had on our health; whether we can ever combat Big Food, Big Pharma, and other hugely wealthy and influential interest groups to turn the tide in the war against obesity; why the fastest way to start an argument online is to post about nutrition, and much more.

In serious strength training circles few voices resonate with as much authority and authenticity as Jordan Shallow.
A chiropractor by profession and powerlifter by passion, Shallow has carved a formidable presence in the health and fitness world, not just through his physical prowess but through his thought-provoking insights.
In our exclusive conversation with the man known online as The Muscle Doc, Shallow explains why at the forefront of his concerns is the pervasive and growing âanti-workâ mentality.
Because for him, achieving success isnât about circumventing the grind; itâs about embracing it intelligently. He argues fervently against the culture of seeking shortcuts, emphasising that genuine success in any arena requires a blend of working both smart and hard.
Itâs his raw and unfiltered take on life and lifting that has amassed him a considerable following on social media. In an age where polished personas and rehearsed routines are the norm, Shallowâs authenticity stands out, sharing both his triumphs and tribulations with a dedicated audience that values genuineness over glamour.
And as a passionate observer of the evolving fitness landscape, Shallow also weighs in on rise of the bio-hacking movement, a trend that has seen many enthusiasts seeking ways to âhackâ their biology for better performance and health. While acknowledging its potential benefits, he remains wary of its oversimplified solutions, stressing the importance of foundational knowledge.
We also discuss the meteoric rise of social media as a primary source for health and fitness information. Does the democratisation of knowledge outweigh the sheer volume of overwhelming information â and misinformation â now at our disposal? And just how damaging is the constant bombardment of men and women in phenomenal shape doing phenomenal things on social media to our own sense of happiness and self-worth?

Weâve all been there. Life gets in the way, and you miss a few scheduled training sessions. Frustration creeps in and, if youâre anything like most people, fears that youâll stop progressing - or worse still, begin regressing - begin to emerge.
But what if we told you that it takes less - much less - time and effort to not only maintain what you have, but also make meaningful progress. Enter Dr Patroklos Androulakis-Korakakis, PhD - AKA Dr Pak - and minimum effective dose training.
In an extensive conversation with Unfiltered contributing editor Dr Jonny Rees, PhD, Dr Pak explains how his doctoral research demonstrates you can continue improving with very little volume and time spent training. In fact, you might not even have to set foot in a gym. Armed with this knowledge, youâll see that (lack of) time rarely provides an impediment to your strength and body composition goals.
In a world where many obsess over whatâs optimal, and sometimes let the perfect be the enemy of the good, this is the antidote. Pareto would approve - find out how to get 80% of the benefits in 20% of the time in our full Unfiltered conversation.
