Podcasts about Grip strength

Nutritionist Leyla Muedin discusses research showing simple strength tests—grip strength and a five-rep sit-to-stand chair test—predict longevity in older women. In a University at Buffalo study of over 5,000 women ages 63–99 followed for eight years, stronger grip and faster chair-stand times were linked to lower mortality; every additional 7 kg of grip strength corresponded to a 12% reduction in death risk, and faster chair-stands were also associated with improved survival, even after adjusting for activity, cardiovascular fitness, and inflammation. She emphasizes prioritizing muscle-strengthening alongside aerobic exercise and suggests accessible resistance options (weights, bodyweight moves, or household items) with professional guidance as needed. She then cites UK Biobank data linking long-term statin use to declines in grip strength and appendicular lean mass, urging discussion with physicians and added vigilance, especially for those also using GLP-1 drugs that may reduce protein intake and muscle mass.

All of the show takes the Grip Strength test to find out who is the strongest on the show. But most importantly, we want to know who the weakest on the show is. The test is administered by Kyler Ennis who is our listener who keeps all the stats of the games on the show. We also helped a listener who needed ideas on games to play on her 12 hour road trip. Amy is shocked by a doctor arrested for doing despicable things.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Registered dietitian nutritionist Leyla Muedin discusses the growing interest in biological age versus chronological age and explains that biological aging is modifiable through consistent lifestyle choices. She outlines common measurement tools and biomarkers, including epigenetic clocks (DNA methylation), telomere length, VO2 max, inflammatory markers, grip strength, and muscle mass, noting that genetics account for only about 25–40% of biological aging variation. Key interventions include regular aerobic and resistance exercise, protein-adequate nutrition to preserve muscle and prevent sarcopenia (with whey protein and leucine-rich foods noted), improved sleep, stress management, reducing processed foods and visceral fat, and lowering chronic inflammation (CRP, IL-6). She also reviews hormetic stressors such as sauna use and mentions red/near-infrared light and sun exposure without sunglasses. Leyla shares client examples showing biological age can worsen or improve, and encourages repeat testing after lifestyle changes.

Grip strength might seem like a small thing, but researchers say it can reveal a lot about how we age. Health and fitness journalist Alyssa Ages explains why grip strength is linked to longevity, what it actually reflects about the body, and how to maintain strength in realistic, everyday ways.

What if the stiffness, pain, or weakness you blame on aging is actually something you can improve? In this episode, I'm talking with physiotherapist and bestselling author Will Harlow about why getting older does not have to mean getting weaker, stiffer, or more limited. Will helps us reframe pain, balance issues, joint discomfort, and muscle loss as signals we can often improve with the right kind of movement. I want you to walk away knowing that strength, mobility, and independence are not reserved for the lucky few: they are things you can begin rebuilding today.

In this episode of the Flex Diet Podcast, I sit down with human performance specialist and coach Rob Wilson for a wide-ranging conversation that spans music, coach education, and what it really means to train for performance longevity. We dig into Rob's new book, The Check Engine Light: Tune In Your Body and Mind to Achieve Performance Longevity, and his work educating coaches through ALTIS and with special operations communities. Rob also shares why jiu-jitsu strength and conditioning still lacks clear performance standards and proposes building sport-specific frameworks (like lower-body clinching demands) before jumping to exercise selection. We talk grip strength vs endurance, avoiding redundancy and tendon issues, contra-specific training for durability, and why “recovery” isn't the goal—adaptation is—especially in elite sport.

Leyla Muedin, a registered dietitian nutritionist, discusses a UK Biobank analysis published in the Journal of Cachexia, “Sarcopenia and Muscle” (Nov 2025) linking continuous long-term statin use (e.g., Lipitor, Zocor, Crestor) to accelerated declines in grip strength and appendicular lean mass compared with never-users. Among 35,557 with follow-up data, grip strength declined by a mean 0.315 kg/year and appendicular lean mass by 0.057 kg/year in statin users; findings persisted after adjustment for age, sex, BMI, comorbidities, and a pharmacogenomic statin-response score. Leyla notes possible mechanisms (CoQ10/mevalonate pathway effects, mitochondrial dysfunction, apoptosis, calcium disruption, insulin resistance) and advises monitoring musculoskeletal health, supporting diet and regular physical activity, while not interpreting results as a reason to stop prescribing statins.

Most people don't fail because they're incapable. They fail because they let go too early. Today is Quitters Day. Here's why it matters and why you're still in this. Show Notes In this episode of Shark Theory, Baylor breaks down National Quitters Day, the second Friday of the year, when motivation collapses for the majority of people. By today, nearly 80 percent of people have already abandoned their New Year's resolutions. About 29 percent quit specifically on this day alone. The adrenaline is gone. The dopamine rush of "new year, new me" has faded. And most people quietly slip back into last year's habits. But this episode is not about statistics to discourage you. It's about reframing them to empower you. If you are still showing up, still committed, still trying, you are already in the top 20 percent. Not because you are exceptional, but because you didn't quit. And if you stay consistent all year, you will land in the top 9 percent of people who actually follow through. Baylor shares a childhood story about water skiing that reveals a critical success trait he calls mental grip strength. When everything goes wrong, when footing is lost, when pain replaces momentum, can you still hold on. Winning is often less about skill and more about endurance. For those who already fell off track, today becomes something else entirely. Re-New Year's Day. A reset without shame. A chance to recalibrate instead of quit completely. This episode also clarifies something important. While quitting your goals is rarely the answer, there are things you must quit immediately if you want to win. You must quit procrastinating. You must quit complacency. And most importantly, you must quit doubting yourself. Because talent without belief never lasts long. What You'll Learn in This Episode • What National Quitters Day actually represents • Why consistency matters more than motivation • How mental grip strength determines long term success • Why holding on beats starting strong • How to reset your goals without giving up • The three things you absolutely must quit to win Featured Quote "Winning is not about being the best. Most of the time, it's about holding on the longest." You are still here. That already puts you ahead. Don't let go of the rope.

Grip strength might seem like a small thing, but researchers say it can reveal a lot about how we age. Health and fitness journalist Alyssa Ages explains why grip strength is linked to longevity, what it actually reflects about the body, and how to maintain strength in realistic, everyday ways.

Farmers' walks - carrying weight in each hand and moving with steady control - are catching on as a simple, full-body exercise that mirrors real life. In this episode Ageless Workout creators Nate Wilkins and Shebah Carfagna, explain why this straightforward movement does far more than build strength. It boosts grip power - a marker often linked with overall health and longevity - and helps improve posture, core stability, and balance. Switch to a single side carry and you add a strong anti-tilt challenge that wakes up the entire midsection.From staying ready for travel to handling everyday tasks with confidence, the farmers' walk reflects the kind of movement that supports aging well. This is the latest in our 20-part series, Move for Life.

In this podcast, Regan Archibald dives into the three organ systems most crucial for longevity—the brain, heart, and muscles—focusing especially on how VO₂ max and grip strength predict long-term health and mortality risk. He shares personal fitness experiences, including using VO₂ max testing, dead hangs, and the Norwegian 4x4 interval protocol to improve cardiovascular performance and reverse age-related heart changes. Regan emphasizes practical strategies such as Zone 2 training, peptides for mitochondrial support, diagnostic testing, and building habits that protect metabolic and cardiovascular health. Through stories about his own training, his children's fitness challenges, and the Ageless Future roadmap, he encourages listeners to set ambitious 90-day health goals, improve daily exercise routines, and commit to becoming the fittest version of themselves.LIKE/FOLLOW/SUBSCRIBE AGELESS FUTURE:YouTube -https://www.youtube.com/@ReganArchibald / https://www.youtube.com/@Ageless.FutureLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/regan-archibald-ab70b813Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ageless.future/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AgelessFutureHealth/

Grip strength is a quick, noninvasive marker of overall health, linked to aging, resilience, neurological coordination, and risk of chronic disease and early mortality A 2025 study found that weaker grip strength in early psychosis patients correlated with poorer well-being and disruptions in key brain network connectivity patterns Stronger grip strength was linked to better communication between brain regions involved in movement, emotion, and self-reflection, especially within the brain's default mode network Beyond brain health, grip strength also reflects cardiovascular fitness, immune function, cognitive performance, physical independence, and is widely used to detect early signs of frailty Grip strength is easy to track at home with a dynamometer, and exercises like daily dead hangs help support psychomotor coordination and neurological stability

We've all heard the advice: squeeze a stress ball to strengthen your grip and improve longevity. But the truth is, there's much more to the story. In this video, I break down what grip strength really tells us about our health — and why it's not just about your hands. Good grip strength reflects muscle mass, neuromuscular function, and independence as we age. That means the real path forward isn't squeezing something on the couch — it's building whole-body strength, eating nutrient-dense foods, getting quality sleep, and creating sustainable habits. I'll share: ✔️ Why grip strength is linked to longevity ✔️ How muscle mass, not gadgets, drives better outcomes ✔️ The role of nutrition, exercise, and recovery in healthy aging ✔️ Practical ways to strengthen your body for long-term health Longevity isn't about quick fixes. It's about doing the fundamentals properly — and consistently. Join me as we go beyond the stress ball and into the bigger picture of living well for the long run.

My guest is Alex Honnold, a professional rock climber considered by many to be one of the greatest athletes of all time for his historic free solo (no ropes or man-made holds) ascent of El Capitan in Yosemite. We discuss how to envision massive goals in any part of life and the process of breaking down those goals into actionable daily steps. Alex shares how embracing your uniqueness and mortality is the most powerful way to envision and live a fuller, more intentional life. We also discuss strength and endurance training, assessing risk and how Alex prepares mentally and physically for extreme challenges. We also discuss how to balance goal-seeking with family and work. Regardless of your goals, profession or age, this conversation will very likely reshape how you think about and approach your life, goals and potential.

Send us a textAlright friends, this one's a juicy flex of an episode. If you've ever thought about strength training as just “working out,” you're gonna leave this convo seeing your muscles as the badass miracle tissue they actually are. My guest today is journalist and author Bonnie Tsui, who wrote a brilliant book all about muscle. Like, the science and the soul of it.We dig into why women have historically been sidelined when it comes to muscle building and how we're finally flipping that script. Like, did you know women used to avoid swim team because they didn't want their shoulders to look “too big”? (Insert a big ol' eye roll here.) And Bonnie's not just talking aesthetics. She's going deep on muscle as essential to longevity, confidence, emotional resilience, and yeah, even your identity.This episode is for anyone who's ever stepped into a gym and felt like they didn't belong or who's just curious about why grip strength is suddenly a thing your doctor actually cares about.Plus, we get into puberty, menopause, and the myths of the Marvel six-pack. Hint: Your glutes are more than just a good angle on Instagram. They might actually be the reason humans evolved the way we did. Mind. Blown.I left this convo totally rethinking how I teach strength to my clients, and I guarantee it'll change how you move through the world (maybe literally). So grab your kettlebells or your coffee, and let's get into it.What's Inside:Why muscle isn't just for meatheads and why we all need to give it more creditThe real story behind women ditching sports during puberty (and why we've got to change that)How strength training intersects with politics, beauty ideals and powerWhy a visible six-pack doesn't mean what you think it does and why grip strength might actually be your new favorite metricQuick gut check…Are you still thinking muscle is just about how you look in a tank top? Have you been seeing strength as a chore instead of a gift? Let's flip that. This episode might just be the nudge you need to start lifting heavy and owning your power. I want to know what strength feels like to you these days. DM me on Instagram and let's talk muscles. Mentioned in This Episode:Bonnie TsuiBonnie on Instagram Bonnie Tsui's book “On Muscle: The Stuff That Moves Us and Why It Matters”Healthy As Fck*Oonagh Duncan on InstagramFit Feels Good Strong AF Leave me a voice note on Speak Pipe!

It's time for another episode of Ask Me Anything. Dawn and Ken answer listener questions that range from generative AI to whether grip strength is a biomarker for longevity and the potential of ketamine as a treatment for depression. Dawn also gives a brief overview of work she is doing with the deep-sea technology company Deep. As a special treat at the end of today's episode, Dawn plays a recording of the commencement speech that Ken recently gave at the University of West Florida. As the saying goes, you don't want to miss it. Show notes: [00:02:18] Ken starts off the episode with a listener question about whether Dawn and Ken read print books or digital, the reason being that a listener recently came across an article that claimed digital screens are rewiring our brains. [00:05:32] A listener asks about a paper titled “Grip Strength An Indispensable Biomarker for Older Adults” which claims that the ability to hang from a bar for 60 seconds for men, and 30 seconds for women, indicates that a person is likely to live longer. The paper claims that a decline in grip strength is associated with adverse health consequences, and the listener asks Ken what advice he has for developing and maintaining grip strength. [00:10:20] A listener asks a question inspired by our recent interview with Dr. Frank Butler. The listener asks if Ken has heard about the FDA approved depression therapy, esketamine, which is a derivative of ketamine and is a long-standing therapy for depression. [00:12:37] A listener asks Ken about a 2023 paper in the journal Age and Aging titled “Higher Dietary Protein Intake is Associated with Sarcopenia in Older British Twins” [00:16:13] A listener asks Ken about “Whisper,” which is a transcription product from OpenAI. The listener explains that OpenAI disclaims that Whisper should not be used in high-risk domains. However, according to a story by the Associated Press titled “Researchers Say an AI Powered Transcription Tool Used in Hospitals Invents Things No One Ever Said,” medical centers have already begun to use the tool to transcribe physician consultations. The listener explains that, according to the article, the use of Whisper in these contexts has led to numerous ‘hallucinations' from the AI tool and the listener asks Ken what his thoughts are on how tools like Whisper should be integrated into various industries. [00:20:21] A listener asks for Ken's thoughts on a series of articles by Kevin Roose in The New York Times claiming that there is no reason to learn how to code and program because very soon AI will take over all coding. Mr. Roose also asserts that the time is soon approaching when we need to have discussions on what rights to grant sentient AI. [00:21:57] A listener asks Ken if he concurs with a report from the National Academy of Medicine titled “Generative Artificial Intelligence in Health and Medicine – Opportunities and Responsibilities for Transformative Innovation,” which notes that large language models (LLMs) hold huge promise for patient care and healthcare system workflows, as well as risks. The listener asks if Ken agrees with the report's claims that two areas in which we could see near term applications of LLMs are patient education and synthesis of information of electronic medical records. [00:23:35] As a follow up question, Ken is asked about the aforementioned report's discussion of the “digital twin” concept. A digital twin is a computational representation of a patient or disease that could be used to speed up virtual experiments or subgroup analysis of investigational agents that carry risk for real patients. [00:26:26] A listener asks for Ken's thoughts on a paper published in the journal of Nutrition Health and Aging titled “Effects of Vitamin D3 Omega 3 Fatty Acids and a Simple Home Exercise Program on Change in Physical Activity Among Generally Healthy and Active Older Adults.” The paper claims that among generally healthy,

We cover bodyweight-only, free-weight, and machine-based protocols and describe training splits and lesser-known but highly effective ways to train, especially for people with limited time. We also discuss local versus systemic nervous system and muscle recovery, how to complete training sessions with increased energy, why training to “failure” is not advised, optimal rest-between-sets protocols to improve performance, and how to vary effort levels across each week and month to ensure regular progress. This episode brings you highly practical, science-supported, and real-world-tested training methods to build strength, endurance, and flexibility from one of the world's top experts.
