The Kris Gethin Podcast
Are GLP-1s like Ozempic and Mounjaro the future of fat loss, or just another excuse to skip the hard work? In this episode of the Kris Gethin Podcast, I break down the truth behind the hype.

I explain exactly how GLP-1s work, how they suppress appetite, regulate insulin, slow gastric emptying, and why that means absolutely nothing if you’re not strength training or hitting your protein targets. ...

207. India’s Health Crisis: Malnutrition, Obesity & The Food Culture Shift (No BS)
The Kris Gethin Podcast
India’s health crisis is out of control. We’re seeing two extremes: malnutrition and obesity skyrocketing at the same time. I’m breaking down exactly why this is happening and what YOU need to do about it. If you think this is just a problem for rural areas, you’re dead wrong. Processed foods, high-carb diets, and a broken food system are making India the fastest-growing country for diabetes, or as I call it, diabesity. Malnutrition isn’t just a poverty issue anymore—it’s everywhere. Urban areas are packed with people eating calories, but not the nutrients they need. And on top...
info_outlineLifting heavy and eating big isn’t enough, if you’re not optimizing recovery, hormones, and performance, you’re making this way harder than it needs to be. Most people train their asses off but completely ignore the science-backed biohacks that can take muscle growth to the next level. You can keep guessing, or you can start working smarter.
In this episode, I’m giving you 5 next-level muscle-building biohacks that I’ve personally tested and refined over years of training, coaching, and biohacking my own body. Tracking blood glucose to maximize carb uptake, sleep and HRV monitoring to dial in recovery, red light therapy for testosterone optimization, it’s all here. These aren’t gimmicks, they’re real strategies that give you the edge.
I’ll also break down why your training intensity is useless if your recovery is trash, how cold exposure can skyrocket testosterone, and why ignoring blood and DNA testing is keeping you from unlocking your full potential.
You want to build serious muscle? Then stop guessing and start applying what actually works. Tap in, take notes, and let’s get to work.
