Brain puzzles may make you better at brain puzzles. That doesn’t necessarily mean they’ll keep you sharp as you age. Dr. Kirk Erickson is a neuroscientist who has spent decades studying how exercise, fitness, and lifestyle shape the aging brain, including landmark work on hippocampal plasticity and cognitive aging. If you’re in your 40s or 50s, he argues this may be the period when what you do now starts to matter most for your cognitive future. We talk about what actually seems to protect th...
I’ve spent thousands of dollars on supplements over the years. Some probably helped. Some may have done absolutely nothing. At 48, I still take several, but I’m much more skeptical than I used to be. In this solo episode, I break down what I currently take, including creatine, protein, vitamin D, magnesium, Urolithin A, BPC-157 and TB-500, along with why I use them, where the evidence feels strong, and where I’m still experimenting. I also get into collagen, glucosamine, omega-3s, probiotics,...
Joe Friel is back. At 82, Joe is still training, still lifting, and still paying close attention to what aging actually does to an athlete’s body.

Joe explains why sleep may be the first place to look, why consistency in the gym matters more than heroic workouts, why fast-twitch power fades, and why VO2 max is not just about racing — it is about staying capable for l...
📺 Watch on Youtube! Twenty years ago, Kit DesLauriers skied from the summit of Everest, completing her goal of becoming the first person to ski the Seven Summits. Today, at 56, she’s still asking a compelling question: how do you stay strong and capable enough to keep doing the things you love as you get older? A two-time World Freeskiing Champion, National Geographic Adventurer of the Year and U.S. Ski & Snowboard Hall of Famer, Kit joins me to talk about strength, fear, big goals,...
📺 Watch on Youtube! Dr. Belinda Beck has spent much of her career studying a part of the body most active people barely think about until something goes wrong: bone. We train our muscles. We train our cardiovascular systems. But are we actually giving our bones the stimulus they need to remain strong across decades? In this episode, Belinda explains why simply “being active” does not necessarily mean you are training your bones effectively. Dr. Belinda Beck is a professor at Griffith Un...
