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.

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.

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.

Do you need proactive steps to slow brain aging easily? As we age, our brains naturally change, including a reduced size and function. But did you know that these changes often begin decades before symptoms of cognitive decline, like mild cognitive impairment or dementia, appear? Neurodegeneration can start as early as 15–20 years before noticeable signs. The good news is that we don't have to sit back and let it happen. By understanding the connection between metabolic health and brain function, we can take proactive steps to slow brain aging and improve cognitive performance.

When it comes to improving your health and longevity, few nutrients pack as much punch as omega-3 fatty acids. These essential fats aren't just good for you—they're vital for living longer and healthier.

Low omega-3 levels are associated with a five-year decrease in life expectancy. Even more alarming, having a low omega-3 index carries the same mortality risk as smoking! In this post, we'll explore how omega-3s impact your body, their critical role in slowing the aging process, and how you can optimize your intake for a healthier, longer life.

Thanksgiving weekend—it's that time of year when family, food, and gratitude come together in one cozy, delicious celebration.

When it comes to heart health, especially after a major event like a heart attack, most of us look for every edge we can get to support recovery.

Hey there! Today, we're diving into something pretty eye-opening: simple, everyday ways to gauge your health—and maybe even get a sneak peek into what lies ahead.

Think of them as helpful check-ins to see where you're at and uncover areas to work on. So, whether you're sitting down or out for a walk, let's talk about what grip strength, push-ups, and a few other simple tests could reveal about your future.

In today's world, where anti-aging products and longevity hacks are all the rage, the idea of radically extending human life has caught some serious momentum. You've probably heard it before—predictions about living to 150, maybe even 200. But a recent study published in Nature Aging on October 7, 2024, throws a cold splash of reality on this idea. Titled Implausibility of Radical Life Extension in Humans in the Twenty-First Century, this research suggests we may be approaching a natural limit to how long humans can actually live.  

It's January 1st. You've spent the past week reflecting on the previous year and planning your next move. You're filled with motivation, buzzing with excitement, and ready to crush your New Year's resolutions. There's nothing like that “clean slate” feeling of a new year stretching out ahead of you.   But here's the harsh truth: by the time March rolls around, 90% of those resolutions are forgotten. Motivation is fickle. It feels great at the moment, but it doesn't last. So, where does that leave you now, halfway through the year?  Motivation alone won't carry you across the finish line. That's where discipline comes in.

Losing weight is often celebrated as a pathway to better health. But what if the very act of shedding pounds could sabotage your metabolism, making it harder to keep the weight off in the long term?

If you've ever found yourself struggling to lose weight and keep it off, you're not alone. Many people, especially those in midlife, face this challenge daily.

But why wait for that wake-up call?  Today, I'll be discussing the latest research and strategies for detecting and preventing osteoporosis, so you can take charge of your health before it takes charge of you.  Let's start by looking at how our skeletal system changes as we age. Bone density begins to decline at a rate of about 1% per year from ages 40 to 50 for both men and women. So, this isn't just an issue for women—it affects men too.
