| 291: Alec Blenis - Hybrid training, movement optimism & the truth about “perfect form” | 14 Apr 2026 | 01:32:19 | |
Episode Description In this episode, I sit down with hybrid coach and athlete Alec Blenis to break down what it really means to train for both performance and longevity. We dive into his goal of running a sub-2:30 marathon while maintaining strength, the biggest mistakes people make with running volume, and why “perfect form” might actually be limiting your progress. We also unpack the concept of movement optimism, why pain doesn’t always mean stop, and how the fitness industry has unintentionally made people more fragile. If you’ve ever worried about technique, injury, or balancing lifting with endurance training, this one will shift how you think about it. --- Guest Alec Blenis is a hybrid coach and athlete specializing in combining endurance and strength training.

| 290: Bryan Boorstein - Does your training split actually matter? | 07 Apr 2026 | 00:59:09 | |
Does your training split actually matter… or are we overthinking it? In this episode, Jordan and Bryan break down the bro split debate, why most training roads lead to the same place, and what actually drives long-term progress.

| 287: Akash Patel - Science vs Policy: The Dietary Guidelines Problem | 17 Mar 2026 | 01:47:54 | |
The U.S. Dietary Guidelines are supposed to reflect the best available nutrition science… but what happens when the final recommendations don’t match the evidence? In this episode, I’m joined by Akash Patel to break down how the Dietary Guidelines are created, where they diverged from the scientific report, and what this means for nutrition, public health, and your everyday food choices. Akash Patel is an MD/MBA student at the University of Miami focused on nutrition, lifestyle medicine, and public health, with a focus on improving nutrition education in healthcare. What we cover:
