    In this solo episode, Dr. Huff shifts the spotlight from VO₂ max and strength training to muscular endurance—the unsung hero of fitness and everyday life. He opens with a story about his wife’s marathon experience, using it to illustrate mental fortitude and resilience. From there, he dives deep into the physiology, training methods, and recovery strategies that make muscles capable of sustaining effort over time.

    Listeners will learn what separates muscular endurance from pure strength or aerobic capacity, why it’s crucial for everything from hiking and travel to sports performance, and how to train it safely and effectively. Dr. Huff also shares his personal training split and recovery routine, including zone 2 cardio, weighted rucking, stair work, sauna, cold plunges, and smart nutrition.

    This episode is a roadmap for anyone looking to age strong, perform better, and build the kind of fitness that lasts.

    What Listeners Will Learn
    • Defining Muscular Endurance – What it is, how it differs from strength and VO₂ max, and why it matters for long-term performance.
    • The Physiology of Endurance – How slow-twitch fibers, mitochondria, and capillaries work together to delay fatigue.
    • Training Strategies – Combining zone 2 aerobic work, low-cadence high-resistance sessions, and strength training to enhance muscular endurance.
    • Recovery Principles – Sleep, sauna, cold immersion, nutrition, and supplements like creatine and omega-3s that support muscle adaptation.
    Key Takeaway

    Muscular endurance isn’t just for athletes—it’s the foundation for living an active, capable life. Building it protects against fatigue, enhances resilience, and makes everyday movement easier. As Dr. Huff reminds us, endurance can be your superpower—it lets you keep moving, keep adventuring, and keep living strong.

  • #36: Preventing Overtraining & Unlocking Recovery

    #36: Preventing Overtraining & Unlocking Recovery
    Oct 2 2025
    In this solo episode, Dr. Huff tackles one of the most overlooked elements of peak performance: recovery. While training hard often gets the spotlight, Dr. Huff emphasizes that real progress happens during rest and recovery. He breaks down the science of heart rate variability (HRV), shares practical strategies to prevent overtraining, and highlights recovery tools that truly make a difference.Listeners will gain insights into how he uses data from wearables, integrates sauna and cold plunges, and applies fueling strategies to maintain resilience. With a blend of personal experience and evidence-based guidance, Dr. Huff offers a roadmap to train smarter, recover better, and ultimately perform at a higher level. What Listeners Will LearnUnderstanding HRV – How devices like Whoop, Oura, Garmin, and Morpheus measure recovery and stress. The 80/20 Principle – Why structuring workouts with 80% low intensity and 20% high intensity maximizes results. Signs of Overtraining – Key physiological and psychological signals that indicate the need for rest. Effective Recovery Tools – Sleep, sauna, cold immersion, creatine, omega-3s, tart cherry juice, and more. Fueling for Performance – Why energy availability is critical and how under-fueling impacts both men and women. Key TakeawayDr. Huff underscores that recovery is not weakness—it is the foundation of growth. Overtraining leads to plateaus, injury, and burnout, while proper rest unlocks the full benefits of training. By learning to balance stress with recovery, athletes and fitness enthusiasts can push their limits without sacrificing long-term health and performance.

    #35: Lifestyle Medicine, Supplements, and Longevity with Dr. Rachele Pojednic
    Sep 20 2025
    When people hear “lifestyle medicine,” they often picture rejecting traditional care in favor of kale and meditation. But as Dr. Rachele Pojednic explains, lifestyle medicine isn’t about replacing contemporary medicine—it’s about strengthening it with the right daily health choices.In this wide-ranging conversation, Dr. Pojednic and Dr. Huff explore the powerful role of food, movement, sleep, and social connection in shaping resilience, alongside the realities of clinical care. They also wade into the murky waters of supplements, misinformation, and the future of science communication.Highlights include:The roots of lifestyle medicine — why it exists, how it differs from “lifestyle only,” and how clinicians can use it responsibly.The clinician’s role — not to be the expert in everything, but to recognize the importance of a team approach and willingness to connect patients with appropriate resources.Supplements and evidence — from vitamin D and omega-3s to creatine, magnesium, and NAD+, what research really supports (and what it doesn’t).The airport test — An analogy for real-world vitality and why functional strength matters more than six-pack abs.The boring basics — how consistent movement, whole foods, rest, and social connection outperform the flashiest biohacks.The communication gap — why clinicians and scientists must step into social media if they want to reclaim trust and accuracy in public health.This isn’t a conversation about chasing perfection. It’s about aligning your health practices with evidence, sustainability, and the things that make life worth living.Top 3 TakeawaysLifestyle medicine works best when combined with contemporary medicine. It’s about integration, not replacement.Supplements aren’t shortcuts. A handful have evidence, but most benefits come from food, movement, and rest.Health is functional. Can you carry your bag, climb your stairs, and enjoy your life? That’s the real test of longevity.Episode MentionsPremier Cardiovascular Health & Performance Podcast, Episode 23: Building the Ultimate Hybrid Athlete: Strength, Endurance, and Tactical Performance with Drew HammondThe Science of Human Performance: Part 1 — MOPs & MOEThe Science of Human Performance: Part 2 — MOPs & MOEsThe Science of Human Performance: Part 3 — MOPs & MOEsResources American College of Lifestyle Medicine – Professional organization advancing the field of evidence-based lifestyle interventions for clinicians and health teams.Examine.com – Independent database breaking down peer-reviewed nutrition and supplement studies with unbiased summaries.Vitamin D Research – Widely studied for roles in bone health, immune support, and chronic disease prevention, particularly in deficient populations.Omega-3 Fatty Acids (EPA/DHA) – Evidence supports benefits for cardiovascular health, cognition, and inflammation control.Creatine – Backed by strong data for muscle performance and recovery, with emerging evidence for neuroprotection.Magnesium – Shown to improve sleep quality, recovery, and cardiovascular support.NAD Derivatives (NMN, NR) – Promising early data on mitochondrial and cellular aging, but still in early research stages for humans.Stanford Lifestyle Medicine – Academic center driving research, clinician training, and public education on the role of behavior in health.Restore Hyper Wellness – National wellness clinics providing recovery and longevity services, where Dr. Pojednic serves as Director of Scientific Research.Guest Bio: Dr. Rachele PojednicDr. Rachele Pojednic, PhD, EdM, FACSM, is a leading voice in nutrition, exercise science, and lifestyle medicine.
