• 236. 10 Things to Do to Prevent Weight Gain During the Holidays

  Most people don't realize how much of their holiday weight gain has nothing to do with "bad food choices" and everything to do with unplanned habits, skipped movement, and metabolic chaos. They write December off as a free-for-all, promise themselves they'll start fresh in January… and then spend the next two months undoing damage that was completely avoidable. In this episode, I'm giving you the plan that stops that cycle cold. I'm walking you through the 10 strategies I personally use to stay lean, strong, and in control through the holidays; without skipping the celebrations.  From feast-day training and nutrient partitioning to strategic fasting and metabolism-supportive supplementation, you'll learn exactly how to handle travel, parties, big meals, alcohol, stress, and disrupted routines without sacrificing results.  This episode is your full playbook for navigating the holidays like a pro: how to train, how to eat, what supplements actually matter, which habits blunt fat gain the fastest, and how to walk into January ahead of everyone else. If you've ever felt like the season derails your progress, this will show you what's truly possible.

• 235. Anti Aging Medications for Longevity (The Truth No One Shares)

  Most people have no idea what's really happening in the longevity world. They hear "anti-aging" and think of fasting windows and cold plunges. Meanwhile, some of the most powerful tools are prescription-only compounds that almost never get discussed publicly. I've been experimenting with several of them for years, tracking how they impact my performance, recovery, bloodwork, and training cycles… and in this episode, I'm breaking that silence. I'm walking you through the three medications I personally use, why I use them, the biology they target, and how they fit into my longevity and performance blocks. But I'm also giving you the natural alternatives that hit similar pathways without stepping into prescription territory. I'm covering everything from metabolic control to detoxification to skin regeneration, and how to think about timing, cycling, and longevity from an athlete's perspective. This episode will open your eyes to what's really possible. What's Discussed: (00:05) The anti-aging medications I personally use and why I cycle them (02:41) How I approach mTOR modulation inside my training blocks (09:07) The metabolic compound I only take under certain conditions (15:46) The prescription binder I use after travel or high exposure (18:52) When I switch to natural binders instead of pharmaceuticals (21:23) The skin-regeneration protocol I rotate between weeks Thank you to our sponsors: NAD + Cell Shield from Biostack Labs → https://biostacklabs.com/krisBiOptimizers — code KRIS10 for 10% off → https://bioptimizers.com/Timeline Nutrition — 20% off for my listeners → timeline.com/GETHIN LVLUP →  If you want to support your gut, tighten up your recovery, and keep your metabolism firing clean, grab TOTAL RECOMP from LVLUP Health.

• 234. 12 Things The Supplement Industry Doesn't Want You to Know

  Most people assume supplements are helping their health and performance. The reality is that a large part of the industry is built on cheap ingredients, artificial additives, and labels designed to look impressive instead of delivering results. I've been in this industry for nearly three decades as a writer, editor, and brand owner, and I've seen exactly what happens behind the labels.  In this episode, I break down twelve things supplement companies hope you never learn, including how many amino acids are sourced from bird feathers and human hair, why artificial sweeteners disrupt your gut and hormones, how high-stim pre-workouts create dependency instead of energy, and why grain-fed whey can carry glyphosate residues.  We also cover diluted store-brand formulas, contaminated botanicals, heavy metals in vegan proteins, and influencer marketing tactics that hide the truth. After this episode, you'll know how to read your labels, choose better products, and protect your health. This episode is your supplement audit. After you listen, go check your cupboard. Some of what you find may surprise you. What's Discussed: (00:02) The Supplement Industry's Dirty Secrets (01:08) What's Really in Your Amino Acids (03:24) Generic vs. Clinically Tested Ingredients (05:56) Artificial Sweeteners and Your Gut (10:24) The Cost of High-Stim Pre-Workouts (12:31) Why Retail Shelf Products Are Watered Down (14:45) Contaminated Botanicals and Heavy Metals Thank you to our sponsors:  NAD + Cell Shield from Biostack Labs → https://biostacklabs.com/krisBiOptimizers — code KRIS10 for 10% off → https://bioptimizers.com/Timeline Nutrition — 20% off for my listeners → timeline.com/GETHIN LVLUP → If you want to support your gut and recovery, use code GETHIN for 15% off GI Repair at lvluphealth.com    Find more from Kris: Website: https://www.krisgethin.com/    Instagram: @krisgethin  Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/krisgethin

• 233. Why You Keep Falling Off Track and How to Stay Consistent for Good

  Most people don't fail because they don't care. They fail because they keep getting in their own way. In this episode, I answer the real questions my clients and community ask about staying consistent when life gets messy. These are the problems that stop most people from ever reaching their goals. I talk about why waiting for life to "calm down" is a trap, why skipping check-ins kills progress, and how tracking your training, food, and sleep keeps you honest. I also explain why sweating isn't the same as training hard, and why you can't build a strong body if you never train to true failure. We go over what to do when you keep falling off after eight weeks, why your progress stalls, and how to stop relying on motivation that never lasts. You'll learn how to build momentum that sticks, how to train through travel or chaos, and how to treat fitness like a lifestyle instead of a phase. If you've ever said "I'll start again Monday," this episode will hit home. The goal isn't to be perfect. The goal is to stop quitting. We Also Discuss: (00:40) Life Never Calms Down (02:35) Stop Skipping Check-Ins (03:48) How Tracking Keeps You Honest (05:00) You're Not Training to Failure (07:16) The 8-Week Falloff (09:53) Why Motivation Is Useless Thank you to our sponsors:    NAD + Cell Shield from Biostack Labs → https://biostacklabs.com/krisBiOptimizers — code KRIS10 for 10% off → https://bioptimizers.com/Timeline Nutrition — 20% off for my listeners → timeline.com/GETHIN LVLUP → Use code GETHIN for 15% off at GI Repair off at https://lvluphealth.com/ Find more from Kris: Website: https://www.krisgethin.com/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/krisgethin/  Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/krisgethin

• 232. The Hidden Dangers in Crumbl, Starbucks & McDonalds

  Cookies, coffee drinks, and fast food aren't harmless treats. They're engineered to keep you addicted, inflamed, and tired. In this episode, I break down exactly what's hiding inside the foods most people eat every week, and how they quietly destroy your metabolism, hormones, and recovery. We get into what makes these foods so damaging, from hidden sugars and trans fats to emulsifiers, dyes, and chemicals that wreck your gut and liver. I also explain how food companies manipulate flavor and texture to override your hunger signals and make you crave more. Then we cover the real cost. Poor sleep, brain fog, hormonal chaos, and a slow metabolism that makes fat loss nearly impossible. I also share how sugar contributes to fatty liver, insulin resistance, and inflammation faster than alcohol ever could. Finally, I give you a 30-day plan to reset your system and break the addiction cycle for good. If you want sharper focus, better energy, and a body that performs at its best, start here. This is the same strategy I use myself and give my clients to build long-term, metabolic freedom.   What's Discussed: (00:01) The Shocking Truth About Crumbl Cookies (03:44) How Food Engineers Keep You Addicted (06:53) What These Ingredients Are Really Doing to Your Body (10:29) The Real Reason You Can't Burn It Off (16:53) How Sugar Destroys Your Sleep and Recovery (24:18) Your 30-Day Wake-Up Call to Reclaim Your Health Thank you to our sponsors:  LVLUP: Head over to LVLUPHealth.com and use code GETHIN at checkout to get 15% off.
