In this episode of the Always Adaptive Podcast, I dive into why strength training is essential for anyone over 40. I break down what the studies say about progress for older people vs younger people and the myth that it’s too late to start building muscle and getting stronger—because the truth is, gains are possible at any age. I also talk about why power development matters, how aging affects strength, and share research that proves resistance training works across all age groups. Plus, I lay out a free practical training program focused on boosting strength and power. My goal is to help you embrace lifelong fitness and improve your health, performance, and overall quality of life.

In this episode of the Always Adaptive Podcast, I take a deep dive into the ongoing debate between ketogenic and carnivore diets versus more traditional carbohydrate-rich approaches. With so much conflicting information circulating in the health and fitness space, I break down the science behind these dietary strategies and how they impact key performance metrics such as strength gains, power output, endurance, and body composition.

I explore the role of gluconeogenesis in low-carb diets, examining whether the body can efficiently produce the glucose it needs for peak athletic performance. Additionally, I discuss the current research—or lack thereof—surrounding the carnivore diet and what that means for those considering an all-meat approach.

Rather than advocating for one extreme or another, I highlight the benefits of a hybrid approach to nutrition, one that prioritizes muscle retention, metabolic health, and long-term sustainability. If you’re looking for an evidence-based perspective on the best way to fuel your body for strength training and performance, this episode is for you.

In this episode of the Always Adaptive Podcast, I sit down with Nicholas Verhoeven, a PhD in molecular medicine and the creator of @Physionic on YouTube, to break down the science behind supplements. We dive into the research on creatine, omega-3, collagen, NAD, and NMN, exploring their health benefits and potential risks. Nicholas explains why study design is crucial for understanding supplement research, how rodent studies translate to human health, and the controversies surrounding anti-aging compounds like NAD and NMN. We also discuss why foundational habits—like exercise, nutrition, and sleep—matter more than relying on supplements. If you want an evidence-based take on what actually works, this episode is for you.
