Send us Fan MailWhat does it really mean to be a “good person” … and who gets to define that?In this thought-provoking episode of the Strong By Design Podcast, Coach Chris Wilson sits down with friend and co-host Pastor Jared Haley to tackle one of the most important and misunderstood questions of our time:Can you be good without God?From the outside, “goodness” seems simple: be kind, do the right thing, help others. But as Chris and Jared unpack throughout this conversation, the deeper you go, the more complex it becomes. Is goodness just behavior? Is it intention? Or is there a higher standard we're often ignoring?Together, they explore the tension between cultural definitions of being “nice” and the biblical idea of true righteousness. You'll hear honest insights on human nature, the limits of moral effort, and why even our best actions may fall short of a perfect standard.This episode isn't about pointing fingers; it's about asking better questions.Questions like:Why is defining “good” harder than we think? Are we shaped more by habit, wiring, or something deeper? Can a polished reputation actually hide deeper issues? What do everyday decisions reveal about who we really are? You'll also discover how small, consistent actions (micro-habits) shape character over time and why embracing the tension in life, rather than avoiding it, may be the key to growth.Whether you're a person of faith, exploring spirituality, or just trying to live a meaningful life, this conversation will challenge your assumptions and sharpen your perspective.

Send us Fan MailWhat if you could strengthen your body, improve flexibility, and burn fat without beating up your joints or spending hours in the gym?In this episode of the Strong by Design Podcast, Coach Chris Wilson sits down with Pilates & Yoga instructor Jenn Witaconis and Coach Lindsay Hurley to break down the rising popularity of Pilates Burn, which is a powerful fusion of Pilates, yoga, and resistance training that's changing how women approach fitness.Jenn shares how 15 years of hands-on experience led to the creation of a smarter, more effective method, one that blends strength, grace, and continuous movement into a low-impact, high-results workout. You'll discover why so many women struggle with traditional routines, what causes beginners to quit too soon, and how this approach solves those problems.The conversation dives into the unique method behind Pilates Burn (including the game-changing concept of Thermal Flow Sequencing), why small tools like ankle weights, a Pilates ball and mini bands deliver surprisingly big results, and how this style of training challenges your body in ways you may not expect.You'll also hear real-world insights from coaching and clients, what happens when people try this for the first time, why the workouts feel different (in a good way), and how consistency and not intensity is the true driver of lasting results.Whether you're new to fitness, getting back into a routine, or looking for a smarter way to train, this episode reveals how you can move better, feel stronger, and build a body that lasts.

Send us Fan MailIn Part 2 of this powerful conversation, Coach Chris Wilson and bodybuilding expert Lee Hayward shift from awareness to action — breaking down exactly what men over 40 need to do to rebuild strength, energy, and momentum in their lives.After exposing the hidden role of inflammation in Part 1, this episode dives into the daily habits, priorities, and principles that separate men who thrive from those who slowly decline.Chris and Lee unpack why exercise must become a non-negotiable foundation, not an afterthought… and how most men are unknowingly sabotaging their results through small, consistent mistakes — especially in their evening routines, recovery habits, and social behaviors.They reveal the often-overlooked “secret weapon” for recovery and growth, discuss why motivation fades (and how to fix it), and share a practical blueprint for getting maximum results with minimal wasted effort. You'll also learn why the simplest tools tend to be the most effective, how subtle nutrition tweaks can create outsized impact, and the hidden risks that quietly chip away at your long-term health and performance.This conversation reinforces a powerful truth: it's not about doing more — it's about doing what matters most, consistently.If Part 1 helped you understand why your body may not be responding… Part 2 gives you the clarity and direction to finally move forward with purpose.

Send a textIs your body already producing creatine… and could you still be running low where it matters most—your brain?In Part 1 of this 2-part series, Coach Chris Wilson sits down with Dr. Annette “Dr. Boz” Bosworth to challenge everything you thought you knew about creatine. While often seen as a muscle-building supplement, this conversation shifts the focus to brain energy, cognitive function, and daily performance.They break down creatine's role in regenerating ATP—the fuel that powers every cell, especially in the brain. If you struggle with mid-afternoon crashes, brain fog, or mental fatigue, this episode uncovers what may really be happening.Chris and Dr. Boz also explore why natural creatine production may fall short, how muscles can compete with the brain for supply, and what happens when intake goes beyond traditional dosing.You'll also learn how brain energy connects to sleep, recovery, and long-term cognitive health, including the impact of modern habits and metabolic factors like insulin.This episode reframes creatine as more than a workout supplement—it's a foundational tool for brain energy and resilience.Be sure to tune in to Part 2, where Chris and Dr. Boz dive deeper into cognitive health and creatine myths.

Send a textHave you ever known exactly what you should do… and still done the opposite? In Romans 7:15–20, the Apostle Paul describes one of the most relatable struggles in the entire Bible: “For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do.”In this episode, Coach Chris Wilson unpacks Paul's raw honesty about the internal war between the desire to obey God and the pull of the sinful nature. This isn't just about bad habits — it's about the deeper spiritual conflict every believer faces.You'll learn:• Why the struggle with sin doesn't mean your faith is fake• The difference between conviction and condemnation• The two common traps that keep Christians stuck (shame and self-reliance)• Why willpower alone can't defeat the flesh• How Romans 8 provides the hope and power that Romans 7 exposesIf you've ever felt frustrated, discouraged, or tired of repeating the same cycle — this conversation will remind you that the fight itself is evidence of spiritual life. The war within is real… but so is the Spirit of God.Your struggle is not proof that God has left you.

You'll also hear practical strategies like the “90% trick” for dieting success and simple daily habits that make staying on track feel effortless.Plus, the conversation wraps with an important discussion on Apple Cider Vinegar, gut health, and how ACV gummies may support appetite control and healthier blood sugar levels.If you want real nutrition talk without the nonsense — this is the episode.

It's a fact-based, no-nonsense discussion about how government nutrition guidance, ultra-processed foods, and profit-driven food systems collided — and why obesity, diabetes, and metabolic disease exploded in the decades that followed.You'll learn how ultra-processed foods became “normal,” why cereal and refined carbs sabotage blood sugar, and why most dieting strategies fail people long-term. Chris and William also break down why body composition matters more than the scale, how muscle protects your metabolism, and what actually works if you want to lose fat and keep it off.This is Part 1 of a powerful two-part conversation that challenges outdated nutrition advice and gives you a smarter framework for health.

Send us a textWhat really happened behind the scenes of The Biggest Loser—and what did it cost the contestants?In this episode of the Strong by Design Podcast, Coach Chris Wilson is joined by fitness industry veteran Mike Westerdal and super fan and fitness enthusiast Lindsay Hurley for a powerful reaction to Netflix's eye-opening documentary Fit for TV: The Reality of The Biggest Loser. Together, they break down how one of the most popular reality TV shows of all time captivated millions through extreme transformations—while quietly pushing bodies to dangerous limits.From brutal workouts and starvation-level diets to near-death moments, abuse allegations, and massive rebound weight gain after the cameras stopped rolling, this conversation exposes why extremes make great television—but terrible health strategies. You'll hear why responsible coaches would never train clients this way, how rapid weight loss wrecks metabolism, and what the show actually changed in the fitness and reality TV industries.Most importantly, this episode drives home the lesson that real transformation isn't flashy—it's built on consistency, sustainability, and long-term habits. If you've ever been inspired, disturbed, or conflicted by transformation TV, this is a must-listen conversation that separates entertainment from evidence-based health.Listen in, share the episode, and leave a rating and review to support the Strong by Design Podcast.

Send us a textLosing weight after 40 can backfire if it's done the wrong way—and in this episode of the Strong By Design Podcast, we uncover why that matters more than ever. Coach Chris Wilson sits down with Dr. Ron Eccles to explore the growing role of peptides and GLP-based therapies in sustainable weight and fat loss. Dr. Eccles breaks down peptides in simple terms, explaining how gut hormones like GLP-1, GLP-2, and GIP influence hunger, metabolism, and body composition. Together, they discuss why weight loss alone doesn't equal better health—and how preserving muscle, protecting joints, and improving metabolic health must be part of the equation.The conversation also tackles America's declining health outcomes, the concept of the “bliss point” in eating behavior, and what truly happens after you reach your target weight. Dr. Eccles shares insights on emerging peptide technologies, common myths around GLPs, and why lifestyle factors like sleep, movement, and nutrition determine long-term success. You'll also hear real-world lessons from clinical practice, including differences between men and women and the key health metrics that actually matter. This episode is a must-listen for anyone curious about modern weight-loss solutions and how to approach them safely, intelligently, and with long-term health in mind.

Send us a textIn this special Thanksgiving episode, Coach Chris Wilson dives into the timeless ideas from Adam Grant's bestselling book Give and Take — exploring how gratitude, generosity, and giving back can transform not just your relationships, but your success and happiness as well.As the world slows down for the holiday, this is the perfect time to reflect on who's helped you get where you are, and how you can pour back into others. Chris breaks down the three types of people — Givers, Takers, and Matchers — and shares how adopting a giver's mindset can multiply your impact without burning out.You'll hear insights on:How gratitude fuels generosity — and how giving deepens gratitude.The difference between selfless and “otherish” giving (and why one sustains you while the other drains you).Why leading with generosity creates stronger relationships, richer opportunities, and lasting fulfillment.How to make Thanksgiving more than a holiday — but a habit of the heart.Chris also shares practical ways to live these ideas daily — from small acts of kindness to building a gratitude and giving practice that rewires how you lead, live, and love.This is a heartfelt reminder that success isn't just about what you get — it's about what you give. Because when you give first, everyone wins.Share it with a friend, family member, or teammate who's made a difference in your life.

We kick things off by exploring Zach's unique background and the origin of his passion for Indian club training. From the anatomy of the human shoulder to the difference between raw strength and true functionality, Zach breaks down what most people get wrong about shoulder training. He also shares his personal “2-step formula” for shoulder pain relief, plus the overlooked connection between relaxation, barefoot training, and nervous system reset. Around the 30-minute mark, we get into aesthetics, movement quality, and how club training actually builds a more capable, athletic-looking body. As the conversation deepens, Zach opens up about the creation of the Ageless Shoulders program, what makes it different, and why Indian clubs offer a timeless solution for stiff, aging joints. We even dive into his bold personal experiments—like dry fasting—and how they've impacted his recovery, energy, and mindset.

Send us a textWhy do so many of us — even the most accomplished, grateful, and faith-filled — still wrestle with feeling like we're not enough?In this deeply personal solo episode, Coach Chris Wilson opens up about the quiet struggle of inadequacy — how it's shaped by childhood wounds, difficult relationships, societal pressure, and spiritual disconnection. He reflects on his own upbringing, including past traumas and a verbally abusive parent, and how those early seeds of doubt can follow us into adulthood.Chris explores the emotional weight of regret, the trap of comparison, and the idols we unknowingly cling to that pull us away from our true identity in Christ. With Scripture as his guide, he reminds listeners that our worth is not defined by the world — it's found in the love of a perfect God who created us strong by design.If you've ever looked in the mirror and thought, “I'm not enough,” this episode is for you.
