The Science of Getting Strong, Without the Lecture

If you want to build muscle, get stronger, eat in a way that supports your goals, and understand what the hell your body needs, you’re in the right place. Especially if you’re in your 40s or beyond and tired of advice that was never made for you in the first place.

We’re Rachel Gregory and Ashleigh VanHouten. Each week, we take one question women are asking and work through the research, the real-life nuance, and what you can actually do with the information.
