Exercise is Medicine: A Conversation with Dr. James Fisher


Listen Later

In this compelling discussion, Discover Strength CEO Luke Carlson is joined by world-renowned exercise researcher Dr. James Fisher to unpack the growing global recognition of resistance training as medicine.

Fresh off the Health & Fitness Association European Congress in Amsterdam, Luke and Dr. Fisher explore the clinical power of strength training—from reversing chronic disease to transforming how healthcare systems could view fitness professionals.

You’ll learn:

  •  Why resistance training is the most potent tool for healthspan and longevity
  • How myokines turn muscle into the body's largest endocrine organ
  • The case for a minimal effective dose—and why less can be more
  • What needs to change for healthcare and fitness to finally integrate
  •  Why the best program isn’t the most advanced—it’s the one you’ll stick with for life

This episode bridges science and practice, offering evidence-backed insights on how we can reshape exercise into a true medical intervention.

 “If strength training were a pill, every doctor would prescribe it.” — Tune in to hear why.
