In this episode of the Strength Coach Podcast, Kevin Carr joins us to discuss his latest book, Prescribing Movement as Medicine. We explore why the modern population is struggling with chronic disease despite having more fitness information and tracking devices than ever before. Kevin shares the Mike Boyle Strength and Conditioning (MBSC) approach to keeping adult clients consistent, motivated, and physically resilient as they navigate the aging process.

We also tackle the trending topics of GLP-1 peptides and hormone replacement therapy, discussing how these medical tools should partner with strength training rather than replace it. From programming power for fall prevention to the simple but profound impact of daily step counts, this conversation is a masterclass for fitness professionals who want to help their clients live better, not just longer. Learn how to transition from being a source of information to a source of true behavioral change.
