Lifting Weights Is One of the Best Things You Can Do For Your Brain (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Hey everyone, Dan here. I’ve been on this kick of teaching people how healthy weight training can be for the entire body. Today, we are looking at the brain! Here is what I see a lot - when people think about protecting their brain as they age, they usually think about crossword puzzles, fish oil, or maybe cutting back on drinking. Almost nobody thinks about lifting weights. That’s a mistake worth pointing out, because some of the more compelling research to come out in the last several years po
Clean Out Your Liver by Lifting Weights! (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When people start strength training in their 40s and 50s, they’re usually thinking about the typically benefits on body composition and BMI, blood sugar and muscle mass. Almost nobody walks into the gym thinking about their liver. Behind the scenes though, your liver health is actually affected by how much muscle you carry!

She’s 54, works in accounting, and just wants to stop feeling tired by 3pm, stop watching the number on the scale creep up despite eating the same way she always has, and maybe not dread her next physical with the “you’re pre-diabetic” conversation her doctor keeps circling around.If that sounds like you, or someone you know, strength training isn’t about vanity or performance. It’s one of the
Carbs: Fuel for Exercising? Or a Fat-Gain Trap? (Here’s the Honest Answer) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Hey everyone! I want you to picture Denise. She’s 48, works a desk job, and just started strength training twice a week to firm up and stop feeling so soft around the middle. She’s not training for anything, no competitions, no marathons. She just wants to feel strong, look toned, and not dread putting on jeans. Like a lot of my clients over 40, the first thing she asked me was: “Should I be eating carbs, or cutting them out completely?”It’s a fair question, and the honest answer is neither extr
