214. Jennifer Cohen: Why Cardio Doesn't Kill Muscle + Natural Building After 40 (No TRT Required)
Episode Description
<p dir="ltr">The biggest lie in fitness is that you have to choose between being strong or being fit. In this episode of the Kris Gethin podcast, I join Jen Cohen on her Habits and Hustle podcast to break down why I've dedicated my career to proving that wrong.</p> <p dir="ltr">We dive deep into the science of preventing muscle catabolism during cardio, the nutrition protocols that support both strength and endurance, and why most people's approach to body composition is fundamentally flawed. I share my personal biohacking stack for reversing biological age, including stem cell therapy, peptide protocols, and the silent meditation retreat that changed everything.</p> <p dir="ltr">Jennifer Cohen is a leading fitness expert, bestselling author, and host of the Habits and Hustle Podcast. Known for her no-nonsense approach that cuts through industry BS, she's authored multiple books and is a trusted voice in wellness.</p> <p><strong><br> <br> <br></strong></p> <p dir="ltr">We Also Discuss:</p> <p dir="ltr">02:58 Hybrid Athleticism: Merging Bodybuilding and Endurance</p> <p dir="ltr">05:57 The Importance of Nutrition in Endurance Sports</p> <p dir="ltr">08:55 Balancing Cardio and Muscle Preservation</p> <p dir="ltr">12:07 Natural Bodybuilding: Steps to Stay Lean and Fit</p> <p dir="ltr">15:08 Biohacking: Overrated and Underrated Modalities</p> <p dir="ltr">18:01 Stem Cells: A Game Changer in Recovery</p> <p dir="ltr">21:05 Strategies for Losing the Last Five Pounds</p> <p dir="ltr">26:50 Balancing Cardio and Hunger</p> <p dir="ltr">30:40 Overrated and Underrated Exercises</p> <p dir="ltr">35:44 Isolation vs. Compound Movements</p> <p dir="ltr">38:02 Training Frequency and Recovery</p> <p dir="ltr">40:06 Natural Ways to Maintain Muscle</p> <p dir="ltr">49:02 Exploring Natural Alternatives to Ozempic</p> <p dir="ltr">55:51 The Importance of Fiber in Diet</p> <p dir="ltr">57:57 Reversing Biological Age</p> <p dir="ltr">58:59 Exploring Biological Age Reversal Techniques</p> <p dir="ltr">01:02:49 The Impact of Meditation on Biological Age</p> <p dir="ltr">01:06:53 Innovative Therapies and Their Efficacy</p> <p dir="ltr">01:11:07 Supplements: The Overrated and Underrated</p> <p dir="ltr">01:13:04 A Day in the Life of Kris Gethin</p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p dir="ltr">Thank you to our sponsors: </p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p dir="ltr">NAD+ + Cell Shield from Biostack Labs <a href="https://biostacklabs.com/kris">https://biostacklabs.com/kris</a> </p> <p dir="ltr">BiOptimizers - code KRIS10 for 10% off <a href="https://bioptimizers.com/">https://bioptimizers.com/</a> </p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p dir="ltr">Find more from Kris:<br> <br></p> <p dir="ltr">Website: <a href="https://www.krisgethin.com/">https://www.krisgethin.com/</a> </p> <p dir="ltr">Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/krisgethin/">https://www.instagram.com/krisgethin/</a> </p> <p dir="ltr">YouTube: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/krisgethin">https://www.youtube.com/krisgethin</a> </p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p dir="ltr">Find more from Jen: </p> <p dir="ltr">Website: <a href="https://www.jennifercohen.com/">https://www.jennifercohen.com/</a></p> <p dir="ltr">Instagram: @therealjencohen </p> <p dir="ltr">Books: <a href="https://www.jennifercohen.com/books">https://www.jennifercohen.com/books</a></p> <p><strong>Speaking: <a href="https://www.jennifercohen.com/speaking-engagement">https://www.jennifercohen.com/speaking-engagement</a></strong></p>
