    Ep.74 - Why Lifting Weights Wrecks Your Joints

    In this episode, we talk about how to continue with your strength training even when joint issues enter the picture. Because living long enough means aches, old injuries, and arthritis eventually show up. Jim explains why your joints have a shelf life, how most exercise undermines them to reach the muscles, and why isokinetic training does the opposite—protecting and even strengthening your connective tissue. If joint pain has ever made you want to quit, this episode is for you.

    Ep.73 - Why the Best Workout Is the One You'll Stick With

    Adherence is king. Kyle and Jim Keen explain why the best workout is the one you’ll stick to, how FastFit® removes every reason people quit, and why a plateau is really a cruising altitude worth celebrating.

    Ep.72 - This Is the Only Time You Should Take Peptides

    The questions around peptides have shifted from “what are these?” to “I have to be on these or I’m falling behind.” We break down what peptides actually are, why most aren’t tested in humans, Jim’s own cautionary story of a testosterone crash, and why your foundation has to come first. If peptides are on your radar, listen before you spend a dime.

    Ep.71 - The Epidemic No One Is Talking About

    In this episode, we take on the “skinny fat” epidemic—the hidden health crisis behind the “skinny is back” trend. We get into why losing weight isn’t the same as getting healthy, why muscle is a vital sign, and why GLP medications are necessary but not sufficient without strength training and protein. If skinny is your only goal, this episode explains why that’ll cost you. Give it a listen.

    Ep.70 - Why You Don't Need to Switch Up Your Workouts

    Jim Keen and I take on the idea of “muscle confusion”—the idea that you have to constantly switch up your workouts to keep your muscles growing. Turns out muscles can’t be confused, and most of what feels like progress when you change movements is just skill learning. We also break down the study where our members beat weightlifters at exercises they never even did. Hands down, this is one of my favorite episodes we’ve ever done.

    Ep.69 - Tonal vs. Isokinetic: Why We Refuse to Use Digital Weights

    Part two with Jim Keen is all about the “digital weights” machines like Tonal that are everywhere right now. Jim explains why companies spend millions mimicking a barbell on a screen—and why that whole approach is fundamentally limited. The big takeaway: anytime you can select the resistance, it can’t match your real strength. It’s the clearest case yet for why we’re all in on isokinetics.

    Ep.68 - We Almost Changed Our Company Name Over This

    We kick off with a concept that genuinely tripped me up. I called Jim a few months ago convinced we’d have to change everything about how we describe our machines. His answer reframed how I think about the whole technology: the machine doesn’t adapt to you—and that’s exactly why it works. If you’ve ever wondered what “adaptive resistance” really means, listen to this one.

    Ep.67 - What Everyone Gets Wrong about Hormone Replacement

    Nichole Wolf is back to cut through the noise on GLP-1s and hormone replacement therapy. We get into microdosing GLP-1 for inflammation (not just weight loss), why bioidentical hormones beat synthetic, and the delivery systems that actually work. But the biggest takeaway is this: fix your foundation first. I share my own story of taking a pile of supplements that were making things worse.

    Ep.63 - Nichole Wolfe on functional medicine and what Western medicine misses

    This episode introduces Nichole “Coco” Wolf—a board-certified family nurse practitioner, FastFit member, and the founder of Coco Functional Wellness in Austin, Texas. She’s been a nurse for 26 years. And 15 years ago, after her second child, her body fell apart. She went to five doctors. Every one of them told her the labs were within normal range. The last one told her to see a psychiatrist. Nichole was devastated. A compound pharmacist friend pointed her to functional medicine. And with each p

    Ep.62 - Why going all-out every workout is hurting your gains

    Jim Keen is back—and he’s tackling a misconception that’s been baked into isokinetic training since the beginning: that you have to go as hard as possible, every rep, every session, to get results. The key paradigm shift: strength training uses a tool to deliver stimulus to your muscles, while weightlifting uses your muscles to move a tool. When the goal becomes making a number go up on screen, form breaks down—and that’s where problems start.

    Ep.61 - The number one red flag when looking for a GLP provider

    The side effects people associate with GLPs are overwhelmingly tied to dosing too aggressively. Semaglutide (GLP only) is what she calls “inelegant and clunky.” Tirzepatide (GLP + GIP) is more complete, better tolerated, and effective at lower doses. Retatrutide (GLP + GIP + glucagon) is coming later this year for patients who are metabolically inflexible and resistant to tirzepatide.

    Ep.60 - How to Fight Endometriosis with Peptides

    Kimberly explains what endometriosis actually is—adhesions forming in the peritoneal cavity that attach to bowel, bladder, ovaries, and uterus. They’re invisible on imaging. The only way to see them is surgery. And the key question driving this episode: is endometriosis gynecological or metabolic? Resources: Quality-of-life survey

    Ep.59 - Your questions about PCOS—Answered

    After 3 million views and thousands of comments, Kyle and Kimberly go deeper on PCOS—what causes it, why it’s been misunderstood, and why GLP deficiency may be the missing piece.

    Ep.58 - The secret to lowering all-cause mortality by 70%

    What is VO2 max, and why should you care about it? The short answer: yes. VO2 max measures the maximum amount of oxygen your blood can carry and deliver to your body under stress. A study of roughly 120,000 people found that moving from the bottom half of VO2 max rankings to the top half lowered the risk of all-cause mortality over the next ten years by 70%. And the best way to maximize your VO2 max? Developing and retaining muscle mass.

    Ep.57 - Sexual wellness isn't separate from health—it IS health

    This episode might be the one nobody expected—and the one a lot of people need to hear. Kimberly Cunningham joins me to discuss her book Great Sex Never Gets Old: Health, Hormones, and Having It All After 40, and to make the case that sexual wellness isn’t separate from health. It is an indicator of overall health.

    Ep.56 - Why Everything You've Heard About GLPs Might Be Wrong

    If you’ve been confused or scared by what you’ve heard about GLPs, this episode is for you. Kimberly Cunningham explains why the bad press comes from bad prescribing, how blood sugar connects to brain health, and why millions of women with PCOS may have been fighting the wrong battle their entire lives.

    Ep.55 - Your chronic health issues need more than symptom management

    Western medicine excels at trauma and acute care—if you get hit by a truck, you want that on U.S. soil. But when it comes to longevity, independence, and quality of life across the full lifespan, the conventional model falls short. It’s built on what Dr. Kimberly Cunningham calls “name, blame, and tame”—diagnose the condition, prescribe a pill, manage the symptom. Functional medicine asks a different question: why did this go wrong in the first place, and can we fix the root cause? Visit Cunning
