The Kris Gethin Podcast

Holiday weight gain hits harder than people admit. It is the late nights, the drinks, the constant grazing and the zero structure that leave you softer, bloated and feeling slow. If you woke up in January and realized your metabolism is dragging, this episode is the wake up call you needed. I walk you through the same high level reset I use with my one on one clients to pull down inflammation, tighten discipline and get fat loss moving again. We cover the routines that snap your body back into rhythm, the training style that forces immediate adaptation, the recovery tactics that flip your switches back on and the advanced tools people misuse every January. You will understand how to rebuild momentum without starving yourself or doing random workouts. If you want to clean up the damage and walk into February sharper, leaner and in control, this is where the reset begins.

Jardiance has exploded in the longevity and fat loss world, but most people still have no idea how it actually works. You hear about glucose dumping, ketone shifts, inflammation changes and kidney filtration, but the mechanism is rarely explained in a way that makes sense. In this episode I break it down with zero nonsense. You will learn how empagliflozin, the compound in Jardiance, blocks SGLT2 in the kidneys, forces glucose into the urine and creates a consistent calorie leak each day. I show you how that impacts fat loss, metabolic flexibility, ketone production, hydration and long term cardiometabolic health. I also compare Jardiance to retatrutide, GLP-1s, tesamorelin, metformin and tesofensine so you understand which tools target appetite, which target the liver, which target the kidneys and which have the biggest impact on body composition and longevity. If you want a clear breakdown of where Jardiance actually fits in a real protocol, this episode gives it to you straight. What's Discussed: (00:02) Why Jardiance Is Suddenly a Longevity Tool (05:48) How Jardiance Forces Glucose Out Through the Kidneys (08:26) The Truth About Fat Loss Results on Jardiance (12:00) GLP-1s vs Retatrutide vs Jardiance (17:16) Jardiance vs Metformin for Metabolic Health (21:05) Tessofensine, Peptides and Where Jardiance Fits Find more from Kris: Website: https://www.krisgethin.com/   Instagram: @krisgethin  Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/krisgethin 2 Shred: https://www.unmatchedsupps.com/products/2shred    Thank you to our sponsors:  Timeline Nutrition — 20% off for my listeners → timeline.com/GETHIN LVLUP →  If you want to support your gut, tighten up your recovery, and keep your metabolism firing clean, grab TOTAL RECOMP from LVLUP Health.

Most people underestimate how much alcohol destroys their progress during the holidays. They think a few drinks only affect their sleep or recovery, but the real damage happens on a deeper level. Inflammation shoots up, blood sugar swings all over the place, the liver gets overloaded, electrolytes crash, mitochondria slow down, and the gut takes a beating. That is why one night out can leave you feeling sluggish, puffy, and unmotivated for days. In this episode you get a clear protocol to reduce that damage fast. You will learn how to support your liver with glutathione, control oxidative stress with hydrogen tablets, restore minerals with electrolytes, use bitters for digestion, protect your mitochondria with ESS60, and stabilize blood sugar with GDA. I give you the exact timing for each tool so you can bounce back cleanly and stay on track. This is your complete plan to drink smarter, recover faster, and keep your progress intact through the holidays. What's Discussed: (00:01) What Alcohol Is Really Doing Inside Your Body (03:00) Why Hangovers Hit Harder Than They Should (05:21) The Glutathione Timing That Makes a Difference (08:11) Hydrogen and Electrolytes for Next Day Recovery (14:53) The Complete Holiday Damage Control Protocol Find more from Kris: Website: https://www.krisgethin.com/   Instagram: @krisgethin  Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/krisgethin 2 Shred: https://www.unmatchedsupps.com/products/2shred    Thank you to our sponsors:  Timeline Nutrition — 20% off for my listeners → timeline.com/GETHIN LVLUP →  If you want to support your gut, tighten up your recovery, and keep your metabolism firing clean, grab TOTAL RECOMP from LVLUP Health.

Most people don't realize how much of their holiday weight gain has nothing to do with "bad food choices" and everything to do with unplanned habits, skipped movement, and metabolic chaos. They write December off as a free-for-all, promise themselves they'll start fresh in January… and then spend the next two months undoing damage that was completely avoidable. In this episode, I'm giving you the plan that stops that cycle cold. I'm walking you through the 10 strategies I personally use to stay lean, strong, and in control through the holidays; without skipping the celebrations.  From feast-day training and nutrient partitioning to strategic fasting and metabolism-supportive supplementation, you'll learn exactly how to handle travel, parties, big meals, alcohol, stress, and disrupted routines without sacrificing results.  This episode is your full playbook for navigating the holidays like a pro: how to train, how to eat, what supplements actually matter, which habits blunt fat gain the fastest, and how to walk into January ahead of everyone else. If you've ever felt like the season derails your progress, this will show you what's truly possible. What's Discussed: (00:00) Preventing Weight Gain During the Holidays (02:33) Feast-Day Training & Nutrient Partitioning (05:32) Strategic Fasting for Metabolic Control (08:20) Holiday Health, Supplements & Blood Sugar Strategies (17:33) Holiday Fitness, Discipline & Nutrition Mastery   Find more from Kris: Website: https://www.krisgethin.com/   Instagram: @krisgethin  Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/krisgethin 2 Shred: https://www.unmatchedsupps.com/products/2shred    Thank you to our sponsors:  Timeline Nutrition — 20% off for my listeners → timeline.com/GETHIN LVLUP →  If you want to support your gut, tighten up your recovery, and keep your metabolism firing clean, grab TOTAL RECOMP from LVLUP Health.

Most people have no idea what's really happening in the longevity world. They hear "anti-aging" and think of fasting windows and cold plunges. Meanwhile, some of the most powerful tools are prescription-only compounds that almost never get discussed publicly. I've been experimenting with several of them for years, tracking how they impact my performance, recovery, bloodwork, and training cycles… and in this episode, I'm breaking that silence. I'm walking you through the three medications I personally use, why I use them, the biology they target, and how they fit into my longevity and performance blocks. But I'm also giving you the natural alternatives that hit similar pathways without stepping into prescription territory. I'm covering everything from metabolic control to detoxification to skin regeneration, and how to think about timing, cycling, and longevity from an athlete's perspective. This episode will open your eyes to what's really possible. What's Discussed: (00:05) The anti-aging medications I personally use and why I cycle them (02:41) How I approach mTOR modulation inside my training blocks (09:07) The metabolic compound I only take under certain conditions (15:46) The prescription binder I use after travel or high exposure (18:52) When I switch to natural binders instead of pharmaceuticals (21:23) The skin-regeneration protocol I rotate between weeks Thank you to our sponsors: NAD + Cell Shield from Biostack Labs → https://biostacklabs.com/krisBiOptimizers — code KRIS10 for 10% off → https://bioptimizers.com/Timeline Nutrition — 20% off for my listeners → timeline.com/GETHIN LVLUP →  If you want to support your gut, tighten up your recovery, and keep your metabolism firing clean, grab TOTAL RECOMP from LVLUP Health.
