    Is Chronic Stress Wreaking Havoc on Your Health? | Plus This Week’s Health & Fitness Headlines

    This week on Stronger Weekly, I’m joined by my good friend Justin Maziarz for a deep dive into one of the biggest killers of health and happiness — chronic stress. We unpack what stress actually is from a scientific perspective, what’s happening in your brain and body when you’re under constant pressure, and how chronic stress quietly wrecks your hormones, energy, and mood. From testosterone decline to cortisol overload, we cover the data, symptoms, and real-world impact — and what you can do about it. Justin and I also explore the modern causes of stress — overstimulation, lack of sleep, financial strain, and toxic ambition — and share practical tools to take back control, including breathwork, strength training, faith, and rest. We also break down the biggest health & fitness headlines of the week: - A new study in Obstetrics & Gynecology finds that COVID infection during pregnancy may increase autism risk, renewing debates about maternal immunity and fetal development. - Scientists confirm that chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) stems from repeated head impacts, not single concussions — redefining long-term brain safety in contact sports. - A new survey in JAMA Oncology shows most Americans still don’t realize alcohol increases cancer risk, despite decades of evidence. - Researchers identify promising metabolic benefits of cilantro, while warning against overhyped health claims. - And Alabama’s new 10% “porn tax” aims to fund mental-health services — sparking debate about the real cost of digital addiction. If you’ve ever wondered what role stress plays in YOUR life, and how to prevent stress from wreaking havoc on your health, and happiness, this episode’s for you. #StrongerWeekly FOLLOW US ON ALL PLATFORMS - Apple Podcasts: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://apple.co/4at8Yhn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ - Spotify Podcasts: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://spoti.fi/3GAGVPJ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ - YouTube Channel: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Stronger Weekly - YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠- Visit our website ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠. - Subscribe to our newsletter ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

    The Science of Alcohol Addiction with Kori Turner, LPC, LAC | Plus This Week’s Health & Fitness News

    This week on Stronger Weekly, I’m joined by Kori Turner, a Colorado-based Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Addiction Counselor, to unpack the science and psychology behind Alcohol Use Disorder. We break down the facts — how addiction develops in the brain, what the diagnostic criteria for Alcohol Use Disorder actually mean, and how to recognize when your drinking has crossed the line from social to self-destructive. Kori also shares insight into the origins of AA, alternative treatment models, and what real recovery can look like today. Whether you’re questioning your own habits or trying to help someone you care about, this conversation will help you understand the why, how, and what’s next of getting better. We also break down the biggest health & fitness headlines of the week: - A new study finds that even light-to-moderate drinking raises blood pressure, challenging the idea that a “glass of wine a day” is heart-healthy. - Research in the British Journal of Sports Medicine shows that brisk walking 7,000–9,000 steps daily can extend lifespan — especially when done outdoors. - Scientists discover that nearly 1 in 5 UTIs may be caused by contaminated meat, sparking calls for safer sourcing and better food hygiene. - New evidence shows that “healthy obesity” is a myth, with hidden metabolic risks even in active individuals. - And finally, a team of researchers in Japan says “butt breathing” could one day help patients with severe lung conditions — yes, you heard that right. Plus, my Thought of the Week dives into how to structure a well-rounded cardiovascular training protocol — how much cardio you really need, how to combine Zone 2 and HIIT, and how to layer it over strength training without losing muscle.
