Tired of conflicting advice about cardio vs. strength training? In this Fitness Friday episode, I am joined by Andrew Coates to dive into this hot debate, specifically which is better for mid-life fitness.

We discuss cardio versus strength training, maintaining muscle mass as we age, and the pros and cons of popular weight loss methods like Ozempic. We also dive into the psychology behind extreme dieting and fitness obsessions and why intermittent fasting might not be the miracle cure it's made out to be.
