RUNGA Radio 042 | Kris Gethin - How to Build Healthy Muscle
Aptly deemed “one of the most versatile fitness entrepreneurs in the industry,” Kris Gethin has covered some serious ground in his 45 years. From natural pro bodybuilding to Ironman endurance training, Kris has tried it, coached it, and written about it. He also created Kaged Muscle, an ultra-premium sports nutrition supplement company, pioneered the DTP training method, founded healthkik.com, and hosts the Knowledge and Mileage podcast. Kris’ extensive experience has informed his unconventional—but more sustainable—approach to training for performance, building muscle, and eating to support specific goals.
Kris joins me from his treadmill to share his journey from living on the edge of burnout to promoting a holistic lifestyle for more balanced training that accomplishes goals while also promoting longevity. He takes us back in time to his early days of bodybuilding, looks critically at the books he wrote before he understood true wellness, and unpacks the approach he takes both with his own health and training and with his clients and athletes. We explore some common practices of both bodybuilders and endurance athletes, and discuss better alternatives that don’t require compromise. No matter what kind of fitness you’re into, you’ll learn something from this episode!

After first sitting with Seed’s founders, Raja and Ara, I began to dig a little deeper into the traditional "probiotic" industry—only to be quite disappointed with the reality of the effectiveness of almost all probiotic products on the market. Seed, on the other hand, has 16 strain-specific clinical studies as well as 13 in vitro/ex vivo mechanistic studies behind it that demonstrate its effectiveness. Their innovative 2-in-1 capsule also nests the probiotics inside a prebiotic (punicalagins isolated and purified from Indian pomegranate) capsule for additional protection, ensuring the probiotics actually get where they need to be inside of you—your gut.
