  • Programming for Real Life Bodies | Strength, Cardio, Fat Loss & Longevity Dr. Andy Galpin

    Programming for Real Life Bodies | Strength, Cardio, Fat Loss & Longevity Dr. Andy Galpin
    Feb 26 2026
    Dr. Andy Galpin joins the BodyPod to break down intelligent training programming for real life bodies—especially midlife fitness, fat loss, and long-term health. He explains what intelligent programming actually means, why midlife bodies do not need a totally different training rulebook, and how elite athlete training principles apply directly to everyday people with limited time.

    This episode covers how to balance strength training and cardio for busy schedules, how to plan workouts across the day, week, month, quarter, year, and decades for muscle growth, metabolic health, and longevity, and how to keep progress from falling apart when life gets hectic. Galpin introduces a simple sleep and recovery quadrant system, explains why biohacking often distracts from the fundamentals, and clarifies how to approach fat loss in midlife without falling victim to conflicting fitness advice.

    The conversation also explores how to properly interpret exercise science and research, separating what science says is true from what a coach actually recommends in real-world training. If you’re looking for evidence-based fitness, sustainable training plans, and long-term performance and health, this episode delivers.

  • Strong From the Ground Up: Foot Health, Strength, Balance & Longevity for Midlife Women with Dr. Courtney Conley

    Strong From the Ground Up: Foot Health, Strength, Balance & Longevity for Midlife Women with Dr. Courtney Conley
    Dec 18 2025
    In this episode of The Body Pod, we sit down with chiropractor and foot/gait expert Dr. Courtney Conley to explore why foot health is the foundation of strength, balance, mobility, and longevity—especially for midlife women. Many women experience chronic pain, plantar fasciitis, poor squat mechanics, and increased fall risk without realizing the feet play a critical role.

    We break down how modern footwear, weak feet, loss of sensory input, and overreliance on orthotics can disrupt movement patterns, pelvic stability, hormone regulation, and nervous system function. Dr. Conley explains the powerful connection between the feet, pelvis, core, and brain, and why rebuilding foot strength is essential for aging well, preventing injuries, and maintaining confidence in movement.

    This conversation delivers practical, realistic strategies for improving foot strength and mobility, including footwear choices, toe strength exercises, calf training, balance work, and safe transitions away from orthotics. Whether you’re dealing with foot pain, instability, or want to build a stronger body from the ground up, this episode offers actionable insights to help women move better and stay resilient for decades.
