Does adding omega-3 supplementation to an exercise routine provide additional benefits? Today, we’re discussing a fascinating topic that could change how you approach both your training and supplementation. For years, omega-3 fatty acids have been known for their benefits to brain and heart health. But what if I told you that these essential fats could also preserve muscle mass, enhance strength, and improve your overall cardiometabolic health—especially when combined with exercise? 

Today, we're taking an extensive into collagen supplementation, a topic that's garnered significant attention for its purported benefits on skin, joints, muscles, and bones. We'll examine the scientific evidence supporting these claims, discuss potential risks, and identify the best dietary sources of collagen.  

More and more women are coming into the gym saying, “My doctor told me I need to start lifting weights.” And that’s great! I respect doctors, and I understand they’re incredibly busy. But my question is—why are they waiting until women are in their mid-50s to tell them this? The truth is, if you’re waiting until your 50s to start strength training, you’re playing catch-up. The best time to start lifting? Your early 30s—or even earlier. But the good news is, it’s never too late to see benefits. Today, we’re diving into the research on bone and muscle loss, when it starts, how to combat it, and what you can realistically expect from strength training at different stages of life. 

Today we’re talking about one of the simplest, yet most powerful, tools for longevity—walking. You’ve probably heard the classic advice: “Get 10,000 steps a day.” But where did that number come from? Believe it or not, it wasn’t based on science. It actually started as a marketing campaign for a Japanese pedometer back in the 1960s. So, what’s the real number we should be aiming for? Thanks to a massive meta-analysis of 15 studies, involving nearly 50,000 people across four continents, we finally have some answers. Before we dive in, a quick reminder: If you’re ready to take your strength training to the next level, check out my best-selling book, Get Stronger, Live Longer: The Expert’s Guide to Strength Training for Longevity. It’s packed with strategies to help you build strength, improve power, and enhance your overall health. 

Today, we’re talking about one of my favorite topics and one I think is super important to extending health span strength training: How to train for lifelong strength, resilience, and performance. Now, I’ve been in the fitness game for over 30 years, and I’ve worked with thousands of clients navigating midlife and beyond. I’ve also learned from some of the best in the business—people like Dr. Rhonda Patrick, Mike Boyle, Alwyn Cosgrove, and Lee Taft—experts who don’t just talk theory, but coach real people, get real results, and most importantly, help folks stay injury-free and thriving for the long haul. Because here’s the deal—most people train for the wrong reasons. They train to look good. They train to “burn calories.” And while, sure, those things matter… if you’re not training for longevity, for strength, for resilience—you're missing the point. So, today, we’re breaking down exactly how the top experts train themselves and their clients—and how YOU can start training smarter today. 

Today, we’re tackling a topic that we’ve discussed many times before, but new research has reinforced what we’ve long believed—how we live has a much greater impact on how long we live than our genetic makeup. You’ve probably heard someone say, “Oh, you have good genes” when referring to someone who’s lived into their 90s or beyond. But if longevity doesn’t seem to run in your family, don’t worry—because the latest research shows that your lifestyle and environment play a far greater role than your genetics in determining lifespan.
