What if the very thing sabotaging your leadership isn’t a lack of strategy, but a lack of strength?
In this episode of the E Forge Podcast, host Cory Long sits down with Dr. Ryan Hewitt, founder of Weaponized Body and Weaponized Wellness. They tackle the uncomfortable but necessary truth every Kingdom entrepreneur needs to face: if you’re ignoring your physical health, you’re compromising your calling.
Dr. Ryan shares his own wake-up call, from a hockey injury to building high-performing businesses, battling burnout, and rediscovering his purpose through physical resilience. Now, he coaches entrepreneurial men to reclaim their bodies, confidence, and leadership edge through data-driven wellness, performance-focused fitness, and spiritual alignment.
Together, Cory and Dr. Ryan explore how health neglect silently sabotages your business, marriage, and future, and why a disciplined body is foundational to becoming a high-impact legacy builder. Whether you’re 20 pounds overweight or on the edge of burnout, this episode offers a roadmap to becoming what Dr. Ryan calls a “four-dimensional man.”
Key Takeaways:
Most men don’t fail in business, they fail in the parts of life they’re ignoring.

"You have 99 problems, until you have a health problem. Then you only have one." -Dr. Ryan Hewitt
