Episode #966

What if the biggest threat to your health isn’t your diet or your workout routine—but the shape of your cardiovascular system?

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Phil Batterson, a VO₂ Max and cardio health expert, who also happens to be the guy that recently tortured me with a fitness test. And by tortured, I mean he showed me where I was really at.

We dig into what VO₂ Max actually means in plain English—and why it's one of the most powerful predictors of how long you'll live. Seriously.

This isn’t about becoming an elite athlete. It's about being able to chase your kids around the yard, keep up with your wife in bed, and not get winded during pickup basketball.

Dr. Phil shares why most guys are training wrong for their goals, how you can get way better results in way less time, and why individualized testing beats generic workout plans every single time.

In this episode, you'll hear how I got tested, what surprised me most, and what every man should be doing right now to take back control of their health.

You don’t need to be perfect. You just need to know where you are—and start.
