This week marks two years of Stronger Weekly. On Veterans Day 2023, I launched this show with one mission — to help people take back control of their health, habits, and lives. Two years later, it’s become something much bigger.
In this anniversary episode, I share the five greatest lessons I’ve learned from two years of podcasting — distilled from hundreds of conversations with athletes, scientists, coaches, veterans, and everyday people redefining what it means to live strong. From fitness and focus to parenting and sleep, these are the truths that have changed how I train, think, and live.
We also break down the biggest health & fitness headlines of the week:
- The Trump administration strikes deals with Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk to slash GLP-1 prices and expand Medicare access.
- A minimalist “brick” phone helps users quit social media addiction.
- A new JAMA Cardiology study raises concerns about melatonin’s impact on heart health.
- Heavy drinking linked to worse stroke outcomes, according to Harvard Medical School.
- The APA’s Stress in America 2025 report shows anxiety levels hitting record highs nationwide.
Thank you to every listener who’s been part of this journey — whether you’ve been here since day one or just found the show. Your support, messages, and ideas have made Stronger Weekly what it is today.
We’re just getting started. #StrongerWeekly
