  The Back Pain Myth Keeping You Stuck

  Sep 10, 202620 min

  If you have chronic low back pain, you may have been told you have a bad back, weak core, tight muscles, poor posture, or a damaged disc. But what if some of what you believe about back pain is actually making it harder to recover? In this episode of the Functional Longevity Podcast , Chris Borda breaks down the modern science of low back pain and explains why pain does not always equal tissue damage . Most low back pain is considered non-specific, meaning there often isn't one identifiable structural problem responsible for your symptoms. An MRI may show disc degeneration, bulging discs, or other changes—but those findings don't always explain how much pain someone experiences. You'll learn why avoiding movement can contribute to the fear-pain cycle , how constantly protecting your back may reduce your strength and confidence, and why gradually rebuilding your physical capacity can be an important part of recovery. We also discuss how strength training, core stability, motor control, and graded exposure can help people with persistent back pain return to movements they've been avoiding, including bending, lifting, carrying, and everyday activities. You'll also discover how the brain and nervous system influence chronic pain and why fear, stress, expectations, previous experiences, and beliefs about your back can affect what you feel. This doesn't mean your pain isn't real. Pain is real—but it is much more complex than simply measuring tissue damage. The goal isn't to find one magical back exercise or spend the rest of your life protecting your spine. The goal is to progressively build a body that is stronger, more capable, more confident, and more resilient. If you're over 40 and want to stay strong, active, independent, and healthy as you age, follow the Functional Longevity Podcast with Chris Borda for practical strategies on strength training, healthy aging, injury prevention, mobility, and functional longevity. #LowBackPain #BackPain #ChronicBackPain #StrengthTraining #HealthyAging #Over40Fitness #FunctionalFitness #PainScience #CoreStrength #InjuryRecovery #Mobility #Longevity #FunctionalLongevity #FunctionalLongevityPodcast

  The Strength Training Benefit Women Over 50 Are Missing

  Sep 2, 202619 min

  Strength training after 50 does more than protect muscle and bone—it may also protect your heart. In this episode of the Functional Longevity Podcast , Chris Borda breaks down a 2026 systematic review and meta-analysis of 60 studies involving 1,931 postmenopausal women . The research found that resistance training improved resting heart rate and blood pressure—using programs as simple as 2–3 strength workouts per week . You’ll learn why strength training becomes even more important after menopause, why walking and cardio alone aren’t enough, and how strength training, cardio, protein, and creatine can work together to help you stay strong, healthy, and independent as you age. Strength training isn’t just about muscle. It’s about protecting your ability to keep doing the things you love—and potentially protecting your heart at the same time. Ready to get stronger after 40?

  Why Creatine and Power Training May Be Better Together After 40!

  Aug 28, 202624 min

  If you’re over 40, strength matters—but power may matter even more than you realize. New research suggests that combining power training with creatine may offer some interesting benefits for healthy aging. In this episode of the Functional Longevity Podcast , Chris Borda of Y.E.S. Fitness breaks down a new study conducted by researchers at the University of Valencia in Spain and published in Experimental Gerontology . Researchers followed older adults for 16 weeks to see what happened when power-focused resistance training was combined with creatine supplementation. You’ll learn why muscle power becomes increasingly important as we age, how power training differs from traditional strength training, and what happened to strength and physical function during the study. Chris also looks at changes in inflammation and oxidative stress, as well as an interesting finding involving BDNF—a marker associated with brain health and neuroplasticity. You’ll also hear where creatine appeared to provide additional benefits, where it didn’t, what the research actually tells us about creatine and kidney health, and practical ways adults over 40 can safely incorporate strength AND power training into their workouts. The big takeaway? We don’t just want to maintain muscle as we get older. We want to maintain our ability to USE that muscle when we need it. That means building strength, maintaining mobility, and training appropriate levels of speed and power so your body is prepared for real life. At Y.E.S. Fitness, we specialize in helping adults 40+ stay strong, capable, confident, and active for the years ahead. Interested in training with us? Visit Y.E.S. Fitness: https://yesfitnessct.com Want to try the creatine Chris personally uses? Prestige Labs Creatine Monohydrate: https://refer.prestigelabs.com/product/creatine-monohydrate?af=hcjdadqy Research discussed in this episode: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41941966/ Supplements aren’t a replacement for good training, nutrition, sleep, and consistency. If you have kidney disease, take medications that affect kidney function, or have other medical concerns, talk with your healthcare provider before adding creatine. Ready to Stay Strong for Life? If your workouts aren’t hitting the same, recovery is slower, or your energy drops off too quickly, there may be more going on than simply getting older. As we age, our ability to produce and use energy can decline. That’s one reason Chris uses PartiQlar . NMN supports cellular energy production, Resveratrol supports cardiovascular and brain health, and Berberine supports metabolic flexibility and healthy blood sugar management. These are clean, research-backed supplements made in the USA, and Chris has noticed a difference in his own energy and recovery. Visit PartiQlar.com and use code YES15 to save 15% .

  The Summer Workout Benefit Almost Everyone Misses

  Aug 19, 202620 min

  Is Summer Heat Actually Making You Healthier? Most people try to avoid exercising in the summer heat. But what if training in warmer conditions is creating some surprising health and fitness adaptations? In this episode of the Functional Longevity Podcast , Chris Borda explores new research suggesting that heat training may increase hemoglobin mass , potentially improving the body's ability to transport oxygen. Some of these changes are similar to adaptations seen with altitude training. But does that actually improve endurance or performance? And what could it mean for adults over 40 who want to stay active and healthy? IN THIS EPISODE: • Why athletes intentionally train in the heat • What hemoglobin does and why it matters • How heat training compares with altitude training • Why increased oxygen capacity doesn't automatically make you faster • What this research means for adults over 40 • How to exercise safely in summer heat Chris breaks down what the research tells us, what scientists still don't know, and how to use this information safely. #FunctionalLongevity #HealthyAging #Over40Fitness #HeatTraining #ExerciseScience #Longevity #FitnessOver40 #ActiveAging

  The Muscle Mistake That's Aging You Faster

  Aug 12, 202623 min

  Why Strength Training Is the Key to Healthy Aging What if one of the most important things you can do to live longer isn’t more cardio, but building and maintaining muscle? In this episode of the Functional Longevity Podcast , Chris Borda breaks down a 30-year study following nearly 150,000 adults and what it reveals about the connection between strength training, longevity, and healthy aging . You’ll discover why just 90–120 minutes of strength training per week may provide powerful longevity benefits, why cardio and strength training should work together, and how maintaining muscle can help protect your independence as you age. Because muscle isn’t just about how you look. It’s about what you’re still able to do at 60, 70, 80, and beyond. If you want to keep traveling, playing golf, hiking, carrying your grandchildren, getting off the floor, and living life on your terms, this episode is for you. Listen now and start investing in the strength your future self will need. #HealthyAging #StrengthTraining #Longevity #FunctionalLongevity #StrengthAfter40 #FitnessAfter50 #FitnessAfter60 #MuscleHealth #ActiveAging #HealthyLongevity #FunctionalFitness #AgingWell #Over40Fitness #IndependentLiving
