This week on Stronger Weekly, we break down one of the most important — and most overlooked — tools in modern fitness: using genetic testing and bloodwork to optimize your health.
I’m joined by Dr. Jake Huebner, a Colorado-based functional health specialist and chiropractor who helps men identify risks early, improve performance, and build habits aligned with their biology. In this conversation, Dr. Huebner explains how genetics and biomarkers influence metabolism, inflammation, hormones, disease risk, and the way your body responds to training and stress.
Then we go a step further: Dr. Huebner reviews my actual recent bloodwork, live on the show, and explains what each marker means — testosterone, inflammation, cholesterol, liver enzymes, insulin, and more. If you’ve ever wondered what your numbers say about how you’re really doing, this breakdown will give you the blueprint.
We also cover this week’s biggest health & fitness stories:
- New global research urging governments to regulate ultraprocessed foods as evidence mounts linking them to chronic disease.
- Teens who play video games daily are now significantly more likely to engage in online gambling, raising addiction concerns.
- The global wellness economy surges toward a projected $10 trillion — from longevity tech to recovery, mindfulness, and fitness.
- A new study shows “California sober” strategies — cannabis instead of alcohol — may reduce short-term alcohol intake but create new risks.
- The APA warns that mental-health chatbots and AI wellness tools often give unsafe, inaccurate advice, despite 1 in 3 Americans using them for emotional support.
Whether you’re trying to stay healthy, improve your training, or understand your own biology on a deeper level, this episode gives you a clear, practical roadmap for using data and lifestyle together to build long-term strength.
