Most women in 2026 are told menopause affects everything, the weight, the belly fat, the bones, the heart, the brain, and that the fix is hormones, supplements, and a proprietary protocol. The data tell a different story. Menopause does some of it, b... more

As a fellow physician, looking to optimize both my own health, as well as my patients’, it is refreshing to hear the pushback and counter narrative on the fast and loose approach to medical science in the commercial “longevity”, and “wellness” space. Please keep up the great work!

This podcast will give you a solid base of health and fitness knowledge. Cuts through hyperbolic BS. Will get you focussed on what really matters; blood pressure training volume, normal healthy food, not obsessing about testosterone. Their personalities will make you feel at home when you’re listening. Lots of inside jokes and nuance. They got you covered.
I have only listened to a few…. Thank heavens! Their episode 381 and recommendation on how much vitamin D one should take (600-800 iu) is grossly inaccurate. Better to listen to someone who has better more accurate information.
Great podcast. Just the facts without a bunch of 'bio-hacking' nonsense.
This podcast does a great job of sharing the science and breaking down concepts relevant to all humans but as a movement professional I find the topics and information especially salient. I often share with coworkers and I’m so happy you put this out. Thanks for all you do to debunk myths and level up knowledge.
