Barbell Medicine Podcast

This episode features the full Q&A from our first live seminar in over a year, recorded at Watchdog Strength in San Antonio. We field questions from the audience on a wide range of topics in health and fitness. Listen in as we discuss the "optimal" metrics for strength, cardiorespiratory fitness, and body composition; whether osteoporosis can be reversed with exercise alone; and the physiological downsides of "grazing" (constant eating) on muscle protein synthesis and insulin resistance. We also dive into how GLP-1 agonist medications interact with diet and exercise, practical strategies for learning motivational interviewing , how to navigate challenging clients who present with "learned helplessness", and the critical distinction between knowing enough to coach movement versus giving dangerous medical advice. Finally, we tackle the complex discussion around "race-based" medicine and how it applies to waist circumference and BMI cut-offs.

This episode tackles major debates in health and performance! We resolve the question of whether your cholesterol (LDL/ApoB) can ever be "too low" by examining genetic and clinical trial evidence. We dive into the psychology of starting—explaining the "dread" before a task as psychological inertia—and offer actionable tips to overcome it. Finally, we cover optimizing time-limited cardio with high-intensity strategies.

The old rules for blood pressure are changing. In this episode, we break down the critical 2025 updates that are reshaping how we diagnose and manage hypertension. We move beyond the simple 120/80 cutoff to explore a new risk-based approach, updated ACC/AHA guidelines pushing for lower targets, and new recommendations to screen for the "silent epidemic" of primary aldosteronism. Plus, we cover why low-dose combination therapy is the new standard for treatment and take a realistic look at the new Apple Watch hypertension detection feature.

In this episode, we're joined by renowned sports scientist and researcher, Dr. Franco Impellizzeri, for a deep dive into the complex world of training load. Dr. Impellizzeri discusses his journey in sports science and helps us cut through the confusion surrounding a core concept of training: training load. We break down the crucial distinction between external load (the physical work you do, like weight on the bar or distance run) and internal load (your body's unique physiological and psychological response to that work). You'll learn why measuring both is essential for effective programming and long-term progress. Whether you’re a coach, an athlete, or just someone looking to optimize your training, this episode will provide a new framework for thinking about stress, adaptation, and the road to smarter, safer gains.
