240. Why Life Isn't Fair and My Best Advice for What to Do About It
I see more people than ever leaning into a victim mindset and calling it self-awareness. Blaming their past, their genetics, their schedule, or the world around them for why they are stuck. And I can tell you from decades of coaching and living this life, that mindset is the fastest way to stay exactly where you are. In this episode, I break down the real difference between a victim and a warrior. Not in theory, but in how it shows up in your daily habits, your training, your discipline, and how you respond when life gets uncomfortable. I talk about why trauma does not get to decide your identity, why responsibility creates power, and how people with the same setbacks end up with completely different outcomes. If you are tired of feeling triggered by other people’s success, defending your limitations, or waiting for motivation to show up, this episode is your wake up call. The shift starts with honesty, accountability, and action. What's Discussed: (00:01) Why victim and warrior mindsets create completely different lives (03:45) How two people with the same background end up with opposite outcomes (07:30) Why trauma is real but identity is still a choice (11:15) The hidden ways comfort weakens discipline and resilience (15:40) Why people discredit others’ success instead of owning their effort (19:55) How accountability creates power in training and in life (24:20) The daily habits that quietly build a warrior mindset over time Find more from Kris: Website: Instagram: Youtube: 2 Shred:

238. Why Everybody Is Suddenly Using Empagliflozin
Jardiance has exploded in the longevity and fat loss world, but most people still have no idea how it actually works. You hear about glucose dumping, ketone shifts, inflammation changes and kidney filtration, but the mechanism is rarely explained in a way that makes sense. In this episode I break it down with zero nonsense. You will learn how empagliflozin, the compound in Jardiance, blocks SGLT2 in the kidneys, forces glucose into the urine and creates a consistent calorie leak each day. I show you how that impacts fat loss, metabolic flexibility, ketone production, hydration and long term cardiometabolic health. I also compare Jardiance to retatrutide, GLP-1s, tesamorelin, metformin and tesofensine so you understand which tools target appetite, which target the liver, which target the kidneys and which have the biggest impact on body composition and longevity. If you want a clear breakdown of where Jardiance actually fits in a real protocol, this episode gives it to you straight. What's Discussed: (00:02) Why Jardiance Is Suddenly a Longevity Tool (05:48) How Jardiance Forces Glucose Out Through the Kidneys (08:26) The Truth About Fat Loss Results on Jardiance (12:00) GLP-1s vs Retatrutide vs Jardiance (17:16) Jardiance vs Metformin for Metabolic Health (21:05) Tessofensine, Peptides and Where Jardiance Fits Find more from Kris: Website: Instagram: Youtube: 2 Shred: Thank you to our sponsors: Timeline Nutrition — 20% off for my listeners → LVLUP → If you want to support your gut, tighten up your recovery, and keep your metabolism firing clean, grab TOTAL RECOMP from LVLUP Health.

237. 6 Tips to Help Prevent Alcohol Damage Over the Holidays
Most people underestimate how much alcohol destroys their progress during the holidays. They think a few drinks only affect their sleep or recovery, but the real damage happens on a deeper level. Inflammation shoots up, blood sugar swings all over the place, the liver gets overloaded, electrolytes crash, mitochondria slow down, and the gut takes a beating. That is why one night out can leave you feeling sluggish, puffy, and unmotivated for days. In this episode you get a clear protocol to reduce that damage fast. You will learn how to support your liver with glutathione, control oxidative stress with hydrogen tablets, restore minerals with electrolytes, use bitters for digestion, protect your mitochondria with ESS60, and stabilize blood sugar with GDA. I give you the exact timing for each tool so you can bounce back cleanly and stay on track. This is your complete plan to drink smarter, recover faster, and keep your progress intact through the holidays. What's Discussed: (00:01) What Alcohol Is Really Doing Inside Your Body (03:00) Why Hangovers Hit Harder Than They Should (05:21) The Glutathione Timing That Makes a Difference (08:11) Hydrogen and Electrolytes for Next Day Recovery (14:53) The Complete Holiday Damage Control Protocol Find more from Kris: Website: Instagram: Youtube: 2 Shred: Thank you to our sponsors: Timeline Nutrition — 20% off for my listeners → LVLUP → If you want to support your gut, tighten up your recovery, and keep your metabolism firing clean, grab TOTAL RECOMP from LVLUP Health.

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.

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 → BiOptimizers — code KRIS10 for 10% off → Timeline Nutrition — 20% off for my listeners → LVLUP → If you want to support your gut and recovery, use code GETHIN for 15% off GI Repair at Find more from Kris: Website: Instagram: Youtube:

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.

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.

231. How to Look 10 Years Younger Without Surgery
Looking younger starts with what you do every day, not what cream you put on at night. In this episode, I walk you through exactly how I keep my skin and biological age younger than the number on my passport. This is a simple, realistic plan you can actually follow. We get into what makes your skin age faster than it should like collagen breaks down, too much sugar that causes glycation, UV light, blue light, stress and much more. I break down the fundamentals first and then we move into the tools that actually work… red light therapy, sauna and other techniques, peptides and supplements. Nothing fancy, just proven, consistent habits. I also share my own morning and evening routine step by step. What I take, what I apply, and when I do it. If you want tighter skin, better confidence, and a younger biological age, start here. This is the exact protocol I use and the same one I give my clients. We Also Discuss: (00:01) What does it actually take to look 10 years younger? (02:48) Is sugar secretly aging your skin faster than anything else? (04:50) Do you really need sunscreen indoors and in front of screens? (07:22) Why isn’t drinking more water fixing your skin and hydration? (09:58) Which anti-aging tools actually work, and which are a waste of money? (14:41) Peptides, red light, sauna, how do you stack them for real results?

Most people pop melatonin or magnesium before fixing what truly matters, their sleep hygiene. In this episode, I break down how to fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer without supplements. We cover why deep sleep drives recovery, hormone balance, and emotional stability, and how missing just a few hours can accelerate aging and blunt performance. I share simple, science-backed ways to optimize your environment: blackout blinds, air filtration, room temperature, and sound control. You’ll also hear how tools like neurofeedback, red light, and grounding reset your nervous system and promote restorative rest.

229. The New GLP-1 Pill That Could Replace Injections
GLP-1s have dominated the headlines, but the next wave of compounds is already here, and they’re changing the conversation on fat loss, performance, and longevity. In this episode, I break down the science behind four emerging therapies and why you need to know about them now. We cover how Afoglipron, the first oral non-peptide GLP-1, removes the barrier of injections while delivering results on par with semaglutide. You’ll hear why Teriparatide, originally used for osteoporosis, may reduce visceral fat and protect bone density at the same time. I also dive into Mazdutide, a dual GLP-1/glucagon agonist that suppresses appetite while boosting energy expenditure, and Tesofensine, a brain-targeting appetite suppressant with powerful effects on cravings. I share what the latest clinical data shows, the benefits and risks for both general populations and athletes, and how these compounds could fit into the bigger picture of training, nutrition, and longevity. This is a must-listen. What's Discussed: 00:05 — Why GLP-1s have exploded and what’s next beyond semaglutide 01:53 — Afoglipron: The first oral GLP-1 and why it’s a game changer 07:16 — Teriparatide: Surprising fat loss potential in a bone health drug 10:29 — Mazdutide: The “eat less, burn more” dual agonist 13:17 — Tesofensine: Targeting food noise and cravings in the brain 16:20 — Are these drugs the future of fat loss, or a Pandora’s box?

228. Glutathione: The Master Antioxidant for Recovery, Energy, and Healthspan
Glutathione isn’t just another supplement, it’s the master antioxidant your body depends on for performance, recovery, and longevity. In this episode, I break down the science behind glutathione and why I’ve made it part of my daily stack for nearly a decade. We cover how glutathione neutralizes free radicals, supports detoxification, strengthens your immune system, and protects mitochondria, the power plants of your cells. You’ll hear what the latest research shows about oral glutathione (yes, it works), why consistency is key, and how it directly impacts your recovery, energy, and even skin health. I also share exactly how I use it, when I double up while traveling, how I stack it with pre-workouts for better pumps, and why I recommend fermented, clinically studied forms like CellShield. If you want to train harder, recover faster, and slow down biological aging, this is a must-listen.

227. GLP Q&A: Can You Lose Fat and Keep Muscle on GLP agonists?
Most people using GLP agonists are doing it wrong. Semaglutide? Tirzepatide? They’re not magic pills, they’re misunderstood tools. In this episode, I answer your most common questions and break down what these drugs actually do inside the body. We get into the real science: how GLPs suppress appetite, slow digestion, improve insulin sensitivity, and change energy balance. I explain the difference between GLP‑1, dual agonists like tirzepatide (GLP + GIP), and next-gen options like retatrutide (GLP + GIP + glucagon). You’ll learn why fat loss happens, why muscle loss is a major risk, and how to train, eat, and supplement so you stay jacked, not soft. We cover the rebound effect when you stop, what stacks are worth considering, and how to avoid wrecking your gut or your gains in the process. If you're serious about fat loss, muscle retention, and metabolic health, this is mandatory listening. These compounds can change your trajectory. Or wreck it. The difference is your discipline. What's Discussed: (00:01) Are GLP Drugs Just Fancy Appetite Suppressants? (02:57) The Real Reason You're Losing Muscle on Semaglutide (05:23) What Happens When You Come Off?

226. Why NAD3 Crushes NMN & NR (The Truth About Cellular Energy)
Most NAD+ supplements are fluff. NMN? NR? They’re precursors, half the story. In this episode, I break down why NAD3 isn’t just another molecule, it’s the master key for energy, recovery, and longevity. We get into the real science: how NAD+ fuels your mitochondria, repairs DNA, activates sirtuins, and slows aging at the cellular level. I explain why levels crash after 40, how stress, toxins, and training hammer your reserves, and why NMN/NR often fail thanks to CD38 and PARP overactivity. You’ll learn why NAD3 bypasses the weak links, how it stacks with spermidine, glutathione, and autophagy activators, and why Regen NAD is the one I actually use daily, because it works. Forget the hype. This is metabolic firepower that hits. If you’re overtrained, under-recovered, or want to stay biologically younger for longer: listen in.

225. Mike Ryan’s: Longevity at 59 and the Blueprint for Strength That Lasts
Most guys fall apart with age. Excuses pile up. Strength fades. But Mike Ryan proves you can get stronger every decade. At nearly 60, he’s outlifting men half his age, and he’s been doing it while training Hollywood’s biggest names like Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson . In this episode, we break down what actually drives longevity in fitness. Mindset over motivation. Why recovery, hydration, and sleep matter more than the latest trend. And why your environment will dictate your results more than any program.

224. Why Oral Peptides Work (Even If “Experts” Say They Don’t)
“Destroyed by the gut.” “Zero absorption.” “Only injectables work.” This is BS. In this episode, I break down why oral peptides aren’t just working, they’re evolving. I cover the science, the delivery tech, and the results I’ve lived through: cartilage regrowth, hormonal optimization, cognitive firepower. You’ll learn how short-chain peptides bypass gut breakdown via PEPT1. Why nano-carriers, mucoadhesive polymers, and smart pH triggers are rewriting absorption. And why anyone still parroting the “oral doesn’t work” myth is stuck in 2005. I show you my travel peptide stack, how I keep everything cold, and why oral bioregulators like Sigma, Testolutin, and Biomind are now staples in my rotation. This isn’t hype. This is recovery, immunity, and performance…elevated.

223. Why Creatine Monohydrate Isn’t Enough Anymore
You take creatine. You think it’s working. But if you’re bloated, cramping, or seeing zero gains, you’re not absorbing it right. Here’s the truth: monohydrate saturates one transport pathway. Once that’s full, you're done. Up to 30% of users feel nothing. Add GI issues and brain access problems, and you're building strength on a weak foundation. In this episode, I break down CreGAAtine, a next-gen formula with creatine monohydrate, GAA, and B vitamins. It hits four pathways, not one. That means better muscle saturation, stronger brain uptake, and zero bloating. I cover absorption, ATP regeneration, neuroprotection, and why this crushes the “non-responder” excuse. You get more power, more cognitive resilience, and faster recovery, without these side effects. I show you how I take it, why it works year-round, and how it fits into a performance-first lifestyle. Listen in. Then upgrade your creatine. Your strength, brain, and gut will thank you.

218. GLP-3s: 5 Reasons Why More People Should Be Talking About This Peptide

218. GLP-3s: 5 Reasons Why More People Should Be Talking About This Peptide
Is GLP-3s the Next Evolution in Peptides? Here’s What You’re Not Hearing Everyone’s obsessed with GLP-1s like GLP-1. But what if there’s a better option with more benefits, fewer side effects, and real potential for body recomposition, brain health, and gut repair? It’s called GLP-3 peptides, also known as Retatrutide, and most people haven’t even heard of it yet. In this episode, I break down why GLP-1s aren’t the miracle drugs people think they are. They suppress appetite, yes, but at the cost of muscle mass, nutrient absorption, and long-term metabolic health. GLP-3s work differently. It improves gut integrity, boosts BDNF for brain performance, enhances metabolic flexibility, and reduces inflammation at the root. I also walk through how I use GLP-3s in client protocols, from microdosing to blood work analysis, and how it fits into a serious longevity strategy. If you care about more than just weight loss, this is the peptide you need to understand. Listen to the full breakdown. This one matters. We Also Discuss: (00:04) Why GLP-3s are the peptide nobody’s talking about, yet (03:52) What is GLP-3s and how it differs from GLP-1 (07:22) Gut health and healing leaky gut with GLP-3s (10:46) Brain health, BDNF, and cognitive benefits (20:35) GLP-3s for longevity, inflammation, and full-body optimization (24:00) Final thoughts, client protocols, and how to get started with GLP-3s Thank you to our sponsors: NAD + Cell Shield from Biostack Labs BiOptimizers - code KRIS10 for 10% off Find more from Kris: Website: Instagram: Youtube: 2 Shred:

217. More Fat Loss, Less Muscle Loss? This Peptide Could Change the Game
Is GLP-2s the next level in fat loss or just another excuse to skip the work? In this episode of the Kris Gethin Podcast, I break down the most advanced GLP peptide on the market right now. You’ll learn how this dual-action compound hits both GLP-1s and GIP receptors to accelerate fat loss, crush hunger, and improve metabolic function faster than older GLP-1s. I walk you through the real-world results my clients are seeing: 15 to 22 percent bodyweight drops, better blood sugar control, and renewed energy. But I also pull back the curtain on the downsides. Nausea. Gut issues. Muscle loss. All of it can happen. You’ll discover how to use GLP-2s the right way. I also share a powerful transformation story from a friend who dropped over 130 pounds and built a physique he never thought possible. This episode gives you the tools to use modern science as fuel for your transformation, not a crutch to avoid effort. Listen now. Apply what you learn. And stop messing around.

216. The Truth About Ozempic, Muscle Loss & Metabolic Damage
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. These drugs were made for managing blood sugar in type 2 diabetics, but now they’re being abused as quick fixes by people who refuse to lift, eat real food, or build discipline. 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. You’ll learn the science-backed risks: loss of lean muscle mass, slower metabolism, nutrient deficiencies, and long-term hormonal disruption. I also cover the hidden benefits no one’s talking about, visceral fat reduction, neuroprotection, and dopamine rewiring, and why those only matter if you’re treating the drug as a catalyst, not a crutch. If you’re using GLP-1s and not building real habits, you’re just renting results. This episode will show you how to make them work with your training, not instead of it. Listen up, this one’s essential. I Also Discuss: (00:01) Ozempic Isn’t Magic—It’s Metabolic Warfare (03:38) Why GLP-1s Won’t Save You If You Don’t Train (05:07) The Muscle Mass Trap No One Warns You About (11:20) How GLP-1s Trick You Into Skipping the Work (17:09) The Price You’ll Pay If You Don’t Plan Life After the Drug Thank You For our Sponsors: NAD + Cell Shield from Biostack Labs BiOptimizers - code KRIS10 for 10% off Find more from Kris: Website: Instagram: Youtube: 2 Shred:
