Amy Hudson and Dr. James Fisher chat with Dr. Wayne Westcott, an accomplished international authority in health, fitness and aging. He's the author of over 25 fitness books and the go-to expert and deep source of knowledge for maintaining strength at any age. They discuss how strength training not only combats muscle and bone loss but also helps prevent obesity, type 2 diabetes, and other chronic conditions. Tune in to hear how you can age gracefully and improve your overall health by focusing on strength, muscle retention, and longevity. Dr. Westcott shares how he used strength training in high school to improve his running, despite his coaches warning it would slow him down--now, he sees it as the foundation for both athletic and personal strength. According to Dr. Westcott, strength training for kids isn't just about physical health—it boosts cognitive performance and academic success. Dr. Westcott points out that strength training combats muscle and bone loss, which are inevitable with aging. He highlights its role in preventing chronic issues like obesity and type 2 diabetes. “Muscles are the engines of your body,” says Dr. Westcott, explaining how muscle loss slows metabolism and leads to weight gain. Dr. Westcott shares research showing that after dieting, most people regain weight as fat instead of muscle. Strength training interrupts this cycle, helping to maintain muscle and improve body composition. Amy reflects on how weight loss is often misunderstood--it's not about shedding pounds; it's about losing fat while preserving muscle. Dr. Westcott shares a study showing that older adults who combine strength training with extra protein significantly improve muscle retention. He recommends this simple strategy for anyone over 50. Dr. Fisher discusses the tragedy of muscle loss with aging, calling it a hidden threat to health and independence. Dr. Fisher and Dr. Westcott break down a study on the benefits of extra protein combined with strength training for postmenopausal women. You can lose weight faster by simply cutting your calories. Unfortunately, this strategy means you'll end up losing both fat and muscle. It makes a lot of sense to add strength training to whatever you do, from aerobic exercises to sensible dieting. The best way to get amazing results with strength training is doing exercises that keep the tension on the muscles in a safe and effective manner. According to Dr. Westcott, many people overdo strength training and that's why they burnout. He recommends focusing on safe, efficient workouts that are sustainable and enjoyable. Amy shares the key elements of her training schedule--20 minutes, twice a week is more than enough. Dr. Westcott talks about slower-speed exercises and how they yield better results in strength training. Amy and Dr. Fisher discuss the best place to start with strength training. Keep it simple, time efficient, doable, and interesting. Dr. Fisher and Dr. Westcott agree that the slower you do your reps the better. Your goal is to make every repetition count. You can do far fewer repetitions with far fewer risk of injuries and still get awesome results. Dr. Westcott explains why most people don't go the whole way in their strength training journey. People start strength training and they try to do too much, too frequently--too many sets, reps, and exercises—which quickly leads to burnout. Lifting weights is not about how much weight you lift. It's about how effectively you work your muscles and how long the muscles are under tension. Dr. Fisher believes strength training should be simple and accessible. He advises focusing on uncomplicated, supervised programs that fit seamlessly into your busy life. We have a choice in how we age. According to Amy, reversing aging starts with building and maintaining muscle. According to Dr. Westcott, cardio combined with dieting often leads to weight loss and muscle loss. Strength training, on the other hand, preserves muscle while delivering better long-term results.     Mentioned in This Episode: The Exercise Coach - Get 2 Free Sessions!

Hey sis!  It is January and we are rolling in deep and today we're going to be talking about something that has been so heavy on my heart lately. And that is how your relationship with food isn't just affecting your health, but how it could be holding back your leadership potential and the significant impact that you're meant to have in this world. Marshawn Daniels says it best in her devotional..."As women, we've had an up and down roller coaster like relationship with the word leadership. On one hand, we're supposed to be submissive and supportive. We learned so much about surrender, but less about stepping up. We want to expand the kingdom, but we don't want to step out of place. We want to be a good wife. We want to be a pleasing daughter. We want to be a wonderful mother, but we're afraid to admit that our hearts are craving something more. And therein lies a holy tension. See, God desires that we absorb the wisdom of others, but also that we never place the perspective of other people and this world above His voice and His plan." And the truth is that leadership is your birthright. It's in your DNA. I cannot agree with that more. I have felt God nudging me and calling me to lead even more this year. And you know what breaks my heart? Seeing brilliant, capable women sitting on the sidelines of their own lives because their eating disorder has convinced them that controlling food and their body is more important than their God given purpose. ~ Today on the podcast, we're going to talk about your unhealthy relationship with food is actually a stronghold, keeping you from becoming the best version of you and from becoming a leader that you're meant to be. You see, I personally believe that my word for the year, "leadership" is not just meant for me, but it's meant for you too, because leadership is so tightly ingrained in our identity. And when you can't believe in your own identity because you have been living under the cloud of false truths in your mind, then you forget that you are a mighty warrior. You forget that you have influence. You forget that God has been grooming you since you were born for a purpose. ~ I want to ask you something: when is the last time you thought about the influence that you're meant to have here, not just in your family or in your job, but on this planet in this world? 2025 is all about leadership for me. I'm realizing more and more how many of us are letting so many other things in our life, things of quote, "the world", rob us of our leadership potential, rob us of our impact. These beliefs that we're not good enough, or we're not qualified, or we haven't yet arrived, or we aren't there yet. All these things, they're literally sucking the hope out of your journey forward. And without HOPE, I mean, what is it that we truly have anyways? Am I right? I want you to stop letting your ED, letting this relationship with food, steal the rest of your life and your leadership potential.

Everyone has a concept of strength. So often we think of strength in physical terms and we don't stop to define weakness. We also don't think of where we draw our strength and that strength comes in many forms.In this episode, we look at the sources of strength that originate in spirit, soul and body. We redefine strength and weakness bringing the unique perspective of the SEAL teams and scripture so you can look at your life through a different lens. We give common examples where we are all prone to weakness even if we wouldn't call it that.Be warned that this episode will change how you look at some of your decisions and you will be forced to confront weakness and also to redefine strength. Get your own Freedom Plunge by clicking here.

The dollar index soars to its highest level since late 2022, prompting the PBOC to ramp up efforts in a bid to protect the yuan. Chinese trade data for December beats expectations. Asian equities start the week slowly following Friday's negative session on Wall Street and the strong December U.S. jobs print. In energy news, Brent rallies to top $81 per barrel on the back of new U.S. sanctions on Russian crude – its highest level for four months.

I always keep a copy in my pocket, and I share it with people who are curious about our standards. It has been updated and refreshed to better cope with the challenges and temptations of our day. The new version of For the Strength of Youth is available online in 50 different languages and will also be available in print. It will be a significant help for making choices in your life. Please embrace it as your own and share it with your friends. This new version of For the Strength of Youth is subtitled A Guide for Making Choices. To be very clear, the best guide you can possibly have for making choices is Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is the strength of youth. So the purpose of For the Strength of Youth is to point you to Him. It teaches you eternal truths of His restored gospel—truths about who you are, who He is, and what you can accomplish with His strength. It teaches you how to make righteous choices based on those eternal truths.13 It's also important to know what For the Strength of Youth does not do. It doesn't make decisions for you. It doesn't give you a “yes” or “no” about every choice you might ever face. For the Strength of Youth focuses on the foundation for your choices. It focuses on values, principles, and doctrine instead of every specific behavior. The Lord, through His prophets, has always been guiding us in that direction. He is pleading with us to “increase [our] spiritual capacity to receive revelation.”14 He is inviting us to “hear Him.”15 He is calling us to follow Him in higher and holier ways.16 And we are learning in a similar way every week in Come, Follow Me.   American Conservative University Podcast (ACU) is not an official representative for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.

Today, our interdenominational Christian ministry serves the poor in primarily 17 countries throughout the Caribbean and Latin America. Thanks to our faithful donors, we are able to provide food, housing, healthcare, education, fresh water, emergency relief, micro-enterprise solutions and much more. We are proud to have fed millions of people and provided more than 15.7 billion dollars in aid. Our faith inspires us to be an organization built on compassion, and motivated by love. Our mission is to bring relief to the poorest of the poor in the countries where we serve. We strive to reflect God's unconditional love. It's a sacrificial love that embraces all people regardless of race or religion. We believe that we can show His love by serving the “least of these” on this earth as Christ challenged us to do in Matthew 25. We pray that by God's grace, and with your support, we can continue to bring relief to the suffering and hope to the hopeless. --------------------------------------------------------

Only you are responsible for where you are in life. And when it comes time to grow, you do it for yourself, not anyone else. Then you own it! 

Why is community important? In this message, Pastor Jamie Nunnally shares how focusing on community can help you level up to the next stage of spiritual growth.Community is togetherness. It's gathering around a common faith and relying on one another for help, support and guidance—both naturally and spiritually. It's doing life together.U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy wrote the country a letter and said, "As I finish my tenure as Surgeon General, this is my parting prescription, my final wish for all of us: choose community."Reports show that Americans are lonelier than ever. The American Psychiatric Association reported in 2024 that 30% of US adults say they have experienced feelings of loneliness at least once a week, and 30% of young adults say they feel lonely every day.Community is not connectivity, assembly, or being friendly.We have confused community with connectivity. The connectivity of the digital age is convenient, but it is a counterfeit of true community.We have also confused community with being friendly. Community is based on being authentic, not just being nice to one another.We have also confused community with assembly. True community requires that we engage with one other, not just gather together. In scripture, the word for community in Greek is koinonia - fellowship, association, sharing, joint participation, intimacy.Acts 2:42 NIV "They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer."The invitation to follow Christ, is an invitation into community, because other people have been invited, too. Jesus saves individuals, but we grow in groups. Things that kill community:Mistrust – our past wounds cause us to view others through a lense of suspicion.Perfectionism – everything and everybody should be perfect. Being Fake – unwillingness to be real, vulnerable and accountable.You need community.1. It helps you.Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 NLT 2. It matures you.You don't get better by being comfortable.  Strength comes from stretching.1 John 4:19-21 You can't love God and not love His kids. Learning to love people teaches you about God because that what He does.3. It heals you.James 5:16 NLTMany Christians are forgiven of their sin, but they are not healed from it because they have refused to embrace community.  How Do We Level Up Through Community?1. Hang out.Make time to be with other people.Acts 5:42 Jesus had groups of 3 (close friends), 12 (spiritual family), 70 (ministry), 120 (acquaintances), & 500 (the church).Hebrews 10:25 "And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of his return is drawing near."2. Help out.You can grow spiritually by investing in others.Galatians 6:10Serve your city and serve your church family. Galatians 6:2  Independence and dependence aren't healthy - we are called to interdependence.Are you using community to level up?
