What listeners will find here
Why being active may not be enough to protect your bones long term
Bone health is the focus here, with Dr. Belinda Beck explaining why general fitness may not give bones the stimulus they need to stay strong over decades. It’s a useful listen for active people thinking beyond muscle and cardio to osteoporosis risk and long-term resilience.
At 56, Kit DesLauriers Reconsiders Strength, Aging, and What It Takes to Keep Going
Kit DesLauriers talks about staying strong enough to keep doing what you love as you get older. The episode explores her shift after two years away from lifting heavy, along with fear, big goals, parenting, non-attachment, and why she believes her best decades are still ahead.
A skeptical supplement audit from someone who still takes them
Supplements are the focus here, with a candid look at what the host currently takes, why, and where the evidence feels solid versus uncertain. It’s a practical episode about creatine, protein, vitamin D, magnesium, peptides, and the bigger question of what problem a supplement is actually solving.
Joe Friel on the training habits that age well after 50
Training after 50 is the focus here, with Joe Friel digging into why old habits can start backfiring as you age. He zeroes in on sleep, consistency, fast-twitch power, and VO2 max as the levers that matter most for staying capable long term.
What really helps your brain after 50, beyond puzzles and brain games
This episode examines whether brain puzzles actually protect cognition with age and where the stronger evidence points instead. Dr. Kirk Erickson discusses exercise, fitness, intellectually demanding activities, and the limits of what science can say about preventing decline.
