Rhonda Patrick, Ph.D.
114 episodes listed below
Rhonda Patrick translates NAD, vitamin D, and coffee research into daily health protocols.
FoundMyFitness is a science-heavy health show built around mechanisms, studies, and usable protocols. Recent episodes move from vigorous exercise and cancer risk to NAD biology, coffee timing, vitamin D, creatine, and the science of happiness.

FoundMyFitness mixes two formats: shorter solo episodes (roughly 17 to 55 minutes) where Rhonda Patrick walks through a body of research on a single topic, and longer interviews (100 to 170+ minutes) with the researchers behind that work. Recurring subject areas include NAD biology and supplementation, vitamin D and brain aging, sleep and glucose regulation, time-restricted eating, coffee and epigenetic aging, VO2 max training, and the science of happiness and flourishing. Guests featured in the sampled episodes include biochemist Charles Brenner, who discovered nicotinamide riboside, Harvard professor Arthur Brooks on happiness research, and endurance athlete Brady Homer, who co-authored a training guide with Patrick. Episodes lean heavily on specific numbers: study sample sizes, percentage risk reductions, dosing ranges in milligrams or IU, and named cohorts like the UK Biobank or Dallas Bedrest Study. The tone throughout is educational and protocol-oriented, converting peer-reviewed findings into concrete daily actions such as morning dosing of supplements, meal timing windows, or weekly aerobic training hours. Researchers whose work recurs across episodes include exercise cardiologist Ben Levine and circadian biology researcher Satchin Panda. The show benefits listeners who want primary-research-level detail on nutrition, exercise physiology, sleep, and aging rather than general wellness talking points. Production is straightforward audio interview and monologue format, without narrative framing or dramatization. Both solo and interview episodes are structured around distilling published research into usable takeaways.
Made for: Listeners who want study-level detail on nutrition, exercise, sleep, and aging rather than general wellness advice.
What sets it apart: Leans on specific clinical trial data, dosing figures, and named researchers, alternating solo protocol breakdowns with interviews with the scientists behind the studies.
A podcast about health, science, nutrition, aging, and fitness.

Short reviews from the PlayNext desk, based on the episodes we processed.
Arthur Brooks makes happiness practical by breaking it into enjoyment, satisfaction, meaning, and daily habits.
Happiness is treated here as something more concrete than a mood. Dr. Arthur Brooks frames it as a composite of enjoyment, satisfaction, and meaning, then pushes past the usual pleasure-seeking version of the subject.
A technical, evidence-minded case that vigorous exercise may deserve more credit than the old one-to-two rule gives it.
FoundMyFitness turns exercise intensity into a sharper question than the usual public health shorthand: does one minute of vigorous activity really equal two minutes of moderate activity, or has that conversion survived mostly because it is tidy?
A dense but useful science guide to making coffee more deliberate, from brewing and timing to cognition, metabolism, and longevity.
Coffee is treated here as a habit whose health effects depend on execution: bean type, roast, brewing method, timing, additives, storage, and dose. Dr.
A practical training episode on aerobic dose, intervals, and recovery, aimed at listeners ready for evidence-minded exercise planning.
FoundMyFitness uses its long run of expert interviews as the starting point for a practical training discussion with Rhonda Patrick and Brady Holmer, who frame the new guide around cardiorespiratory fitness, hypertrophy, and body recomposition.
A practical metabolic-health talk tying hard intervals, earlier eating, and better sleep to glucose control.
FoundMyFitness frames metabolic health as a practical problem with three levers: vigorous interval training, circadian meal timing, and sleep.
Masha Gessen narrates her own cousin's murder-for-hire arrest and custody battle.
Rich Roll interviews recovery and endurance guests, plus 'Roll On' segments with Adam Skolnick.
Peter Attia evaluates longevity science, from CETP inhibitors to protein debates, through evidence.
