Show notes

If you want to keep moving until you’re old as f*ck, you need to test and retest these 10 physical capabilities. Here’s something I see too often: taking class upon class and measuring nothing. But your balance, grip, and power change as you age—and if you don’t track them, you lose them.

Why I Cast Spells Every Night (Plus: Lifting While Marathon Training) Sep 29, 2026

Show notes

You need a delightfully unserious routine. Here's why.

We live in an age where we're encouraged to become so optimized that we can take ourselves out of whimsy and joy. But I don't believe we should wait for a vacation or even a weekend to feel joy. I believe it's possible to ritualize whimsy into our ordinary Tuesdays. Today: the parts of my routine that exist purely for joy, and why you should embrace your cringe.

Plus: I answer your questions on what a decade of your letters has meant to me, and share exactly how I keep lifting heavy during the final weeks of marathon training.

Stop resisting jealousy. It’s data. I used to feel jealous all the time. I felt jealous of people I loved and was cheering for. But I didn’t let those feelings turn into resentment. I turned them into action.

The Longevity Research We Can't Afford to Ignore Sep 15, 2026

Show notes

Real talk: hitting your daily steps is not having the effect on all-cause mortality that you want it to. I love that we're getting those step counts up, but I’m concerned that as we’ve been conditioned to chase duration, we're missing a crucial longevity lever: bursts of vigorous exercise.

Today: why this is a lever you can’t afford to ignore, mind-blowing new research on vigorous activity vs. light exercise, and how you can integrate vigorous activity into your weekly routine without adding minutes to your workouts. I know your to-do lists are already long, y’all.

Plus: I answer your questions on how to make training progress when you’re injured, and how to warm up and cool down effectively with limited workout time.

Show notes

What’s it like to reach the peak of your career — and have to start over? Sanya Richards-Ross had to ask herself that question when she retired from track years ago, after winning four Olympic gold medals and setting a record it would take 19 years for someone else to break. Now an entrepreneur, Emmy winner, and mom of three, Sanya Richards-Ross has a lot to teach us about the art of building your second act.

My favorite lesson from this interview? Greatness isn’t fleeting. The same skills you’ve built in one lane of your life will apply to another. Hear how Sanya put that mantra into practice in our full conversation.

We’re going to SPACE, y’all!

We made podcast history: this is the first interview a Vox Media show has ever recorded from space!

We get into all the details of her life in orbit: from how Dr. Meir prepared for the mental and physical challenge of going to space, how she works out in microgravity, and how she stays connected with her three-year-old daughter back home. Talking to Dr. Meir fills me with awe, and I hope this episode brings you the same feeling.
