    Excellent education!
    Excellent guest speakers & solo episodes, unpacking the latest research & trends of the industry. I learn so much from Jordan!
  • Plush Ranch Wife
    Episode with Nick Norwitz
    Excellent breakdown on LMHR (lean mass hyper responders) and high LDL. When Nick talked over my non scientific head, Jordan put it in a context that the average person could grasp. I appreciate the content and look forward to checking out his previous episodes.

    Fitness Psychologist
    Jordan is like a fitness psychologist. He addresses the things we tell ourselves, or commonly held beliefs about fitness and diet culture bringing forth what is true and science-based not opinions or trends. He gives context of what trade offs are needed and is flexible to adapt to your lifestyle, time constraints and etc. He will be compassionate but also realistic about what is possible depending on the effort you are willing to give. I am one month into his group coaching and am finding it a wonderful value. The form checks were what sold the membership for me. The podcast is icing on the cake so the nerd in me can geek out on all things fitness through Jordan’s thorough,clear and candid communication style.

    Best health fitness pod!
    Really enjoy Jordan’s balance of what is “optimal” and “practical”. I appreciate Jordan’s knowledge about the science and evidence but also his ability to remain in touch with real people in real life trying to get healthy.

    One of my favorites!
    Jordan is an incredible podcast host who has a talent for giving life-changing lessons. I follow his group programming as well, and it’s great to hear him cover a wide range of topics on fitness and nutrition. What I love most is how he simplifies even the toughest concepts without being pretentious, while still addressing the nuances and context behind them. His clear and thoughtful explanations really resonate with me. I highly recommend both his podcast and his program to anyone looking for guidance!
  • LMB312
    Fave podcast!
    Long time follower and listener here.. I really love Jordan’s approach to fitness/nutrition/overall health and well being. His podcast is super informative and gets into the nitty gritty as needed, but also provides a really palatable perspective and gives the listener actionable take home points. No matter where you are in your fitness journey, this podcast is 100% worth a listen. Such great content! Oh and Jordan is an excellent interviewer and no matter who is on the podcast, it’s an engaging listen. Solo q&a episodes are awesome too! Def worth your time to listen and subscribe!

    Topics are on point
    I’ve been listening to Jordan for over a year now. I have always found his content to be helpful! Being a vegetarian for almost 20 years, it was a breath of fresh air to listen to the episode with Dr Matt. I have never pushed my eating choices on anyone else and it was nice to hear a dr simply share the research. Thank you Jordan for helping to keep the plant based conversation going and your willingness to support different lifestyles.

    Highly recommend!
    Jordan is an amazing podcast host. I also follow his group programming, and it’s nice to be able to hear him talk about various topics and fitness and nutrition, including guests and Q&A’s. Jordan is great at explaining even difficult topics, but does not make complex situations black-and-white and always make sure to highlight any nuances and context. I really appreciate this approach to fitness and nutrition. I am a huge fan of the podcast as well as the program, I encourage you to try both!

  • Alyson_lathia
    My go to podcast for fitness/health!
    What i particularly enjoy about this podcast and coach j’s content in general, is it’s extremely digestible and balanced! He breaks down topics in the fitness/health realm that you can easily get lost in and makes you understand the WHY behind it all and allows you to make the best informed decision for your own journey and goals! Shout out homebodies 🤘🏼
  • Vf99
    My fav!
    The best podcast out there. I take so much away each episode. Big fan!
  • shrink on the go
    Can’t recommend Jordan enough
    I remember the first time I found Jordan on IG. It felt like I could finally take a deep breath—it was so immediately obvious how sane, clear, and balanced his approach to fitness is. *This* is an approach that someone could do for the long haul. I’ve been doing his group program for 6 months, but it was his podcast that got me to really buy into his ways of doing things—it’s fantastic for going deeper into super relevant topics. I trust his approach and, as a medical professional/article nerd, I really appreciate how evidence based he is. Keep going, Jordan!!!
  • cayleehazel
    Awesome Info!
    Jordan’s podcast is my all time favorite podcast and has been for about a year now! He’s always straight to the point, insanely knowledgeable, and I love the way he breaks down what would otherwise be confusing topics for the average person. Jordan is truly a breath of fresh air in the fitness industry and cuts through all of the nonsense while giving you the science backed truth. Not only is his content top notch, but his training program is one like no other. I recently joined and you can tell he puts his everything into what he does which I feel is hard to come by these days. Overall, Jordan seems like he’s a genuine, awesome person and it definitely shows!

    Great podcasts
    So glad I found this podcast earlier. Wonderful content & a great way to convey this information.
  • betsyarthur5
    Episode 213 soo good
    Loved this episode. I track, just protien and cals but it really helps me maintain. I’m so bad at eating intuitively because I grew up in the days of atkins and low carb and naturally go very low carb when I’m not tracking and tracking helps me eat a more balanced diet with enough carbs and not ocerding that fat. The low carb high fat diets were just ground into my brain at a youngish age and it’s really hard to get away from. This helped normalize tracking long term and stop the “I shouldn’t be tracking anymore.” So good!
  • Christamainium
    Love this podcast!
    I appreciate the science and studies behind Jordan’s episodes. I also like how (for example in this body recomp podcast) he talks about whether or not the results will be worth the time and effort that you put in. “Is the juice worth the squeeze” as Jordan likes to say. As someone with 4 kiddos and limited gym time I appreciate this perspective and think of this often when I am trying to figure out what will give me the best results and what do I have the mental bandwidth and time for. Excellent episode! Great podcast all together!
  • AnneK620
    One of the best!
    Jordan is a breath of fresh air in an industry often filled with fear-mongering and misinformation. He is knowledgeable, to the point, and manages to provide helpful and insightful content for everyone, from complete newbie to seasoned lifter. I love listening to Jordan’s podcast and following him on IG for relevant and entertaining information that I can easily apply to my training :)
  • Douglas12233

  • Bichonsrule
    Amazing person and trainer
    I started following Jordan 3 years ago on instagram and started then I started his training app 1 1/2 years ago after my friend recommended it. I’ve seen muscle gains I didn’t the first 3 years. His knowledge is amazing and he is always so gracious answers all your questions and is so helpful & very kind. Anyways I love his podcast too , most of my questions can be and in these podcast. Thank you for all you do !
  • TinyMcghee
    Look forward to every episode
    Jordan is the real deal. He is super knowledgeable and also relatable. I get excited for each episode whether it is solo or with a guest. I love that he is talking a lot about lifting and cardio lately as I enjoy both equally.
  • Ben'7676
    Actually useful 👍
    Jordan presents a fun and useful perspective on fitness that really translates into real world life. He’s not selling supplements, not interviewing guests that are selling supplements - this is actual advice that can apply to 99% of us. Did I say fun? I look forward to this podcast every week.

    Favorite podcast
    I never miss an episode of Jordan’s podcast. Want free evidence based nutrition and fitness information communicated in an easily digestible way? You’re in the right spot.
  • yo2flo
    My favorite fitness pod!
    Jordan is the real deal. His pod is informative and practical as advertised. He is direct, very knowledgeable and super fun to listen to. If you want clear, smart and applicable information on all things fitness related, muscle growing, nutrition and how that looks in your day to day life, he’s your guy! I’ll add his coaching group is the best too!
  • Runsammyrun
    Incredible Info!
    This is the only podcast that I have notifications turned on for! Every … single … episode is an enlightening journey into broad and niche topics of health, fitness, nutrition, and mental health. Tons of incredible information that I feel guilty consuming this for free. No matter if it’s a Jordan only episode or one where he interviews an awesome guest, they’re jammed packed with all the knowledge boosting goodies and he makes it entertaining too!
  • A. Glasser
    Evidence-based information with a fun flair
    Jordan provides solid information in an approachable, nonjudgmental way. Jordan never talks down to his listener; rather, he is supportive, encouraging and relatable. I love this podcast and cannot believe how much free content Jordan produces. What a gem.
  • Jackie kup

  • Spencenstein
    Jordan is great
    He is knowledgeable and truly thoughtful about both the nuance and practical implications of the information he presents. If you’re looking for fitness content from a smart person who is down to earth and intellectually honest then Jordan is your guy. The thinking person’s fitness expert.
  • Marci Nevin

    Coach Jordan
    I’ve been listening to Jordan’s podcasts for years now . He always backs up his information with science so his podcasts are my go to when I want answers on any topic . They are very informative and help navigate all of the nonsense that’s out there in the fitness world . I’ve also had the pleasure of having him as both my 1:1 coach and group coach . He’s literally the best of the best .
  • Movethenoxmam164
    One of the good ones
    Most fitness / nutrition podcasts are by Insta “influencers” trying to make a quick buck by spouting nonsense while trying to sell bogus products and programs. Jordan is one of the small percentage of good guys with factual and practical information. Wish I had found him sooner.
  • AlmostFitFoodie
    Where you meet a better you…
    As a nutrition coach, a certified personal trainer, and also a client, I can promise you that everything you need to know about losing fat, building muscle, and becoming more fit can be found in this podcast. Jordan has the ability to teach and share his brilliance in a way that is never condescending and is always is clear, logical, motivating, and empowering. I will be forever grateful for all that I have learned and continue to learn from him. He is truly a rock solid foundation of truth and sanity in a world full of sandy falsehoods and misinformation.
  • @claz
    Jordan builds confidence for those looking for it!
    Thank you for producing a great informative podcast. I’m a 45 year old mom of 4, who was raised in the era of Kate Moss. Thanks to Jordan and his insightful work I no longer chase skinny. I have followed him along my 3 year journey and build some serious strength along the way! Jordan has helped to transform my mind and outlook on what true health is.
  • DenverAnna87
    Great content on every platform
    Jordan’s educational material on this podcast and IG are evidence based but also practical and down to earth. Some of the best health content online today.
  • @heytiffanymcree
    One of the BEST
    So thankful for Jordan Lips and this podcast in particular. I have learned SO much.
  • Eastwest21
    So many great nuggets of information
    I swear sometimes I think Jordan’s in my brain. A fitness issue pops up into my head, and boom—it’s discussed in his latest podcast. He has brought truth and reality to the fitness sphere unapologetically. His guests always bring something to the table that I can learn from. He explains his reasons for why he programs the way he does (yes, I follow his fitness program) in a way that is understandable and not nuanced. I’m an older client who has made great strides in my fitness since finding Jordan. My #1 podcast I listen to!
  • Apprvw
    Great information!
    Just listened to if you gain weight every time you stop tracking. I listened to it twice in 24 hours. This was truly helpful information and advice I needed to hear. I hope it sinks into my brain. lol. Excited to listen to more.
  • Jamie___lynn__m
    Amazing guests
    I’m a new listener and listened to the episode on gut health with adrian and minimal training with Bryan and really enjoyed the content! Usually I get bored with basic info I’ve heard a million times being in ex science but I appreciate the fresh topics you cover with your guests! Thank you!
  • Daniel Matranga
    I love learning from Jordan
    I really enjoy learning from Jordan’s podcasts. This is as a trainer whose been in the game over 10 years. He’s a great communicator. Danny M
  • ameliafriend04
    Great Content
    I’ve followed jordan on Instagram for quite some time, so I decided to check out the podcast. I really enjoyed the convo and the info, but the swearing was excessive. (Like so many F bombs in a single episode) I’m coming to learn, and while it is indicated as explicit, and I don’t expect to be college style lecture, it’s really excessive for this genre. I understand I can choose not to listen, but it’s kind of sad that I have to miss out because of the language.
  • lindaprice
    My favorite podcast
    Topics are always interesting. Jordan’s practical approach forces you to zoom out and focus on the big picture. Also he brings humor to the discussion!
  • ksarahz
    Gut health
    Excellent episode with Dr. Chavez. So much great information. Thank you!
  • CPawlikowski
    Gut Health Episode
    I frequently listen to this podcast but this episode in particular really resonated with me. There are so many practical take always! Recently, it feels like almost everyone that I follow on IG is doing some kind of gut health protocol - literally to the point where I’ve started to wonder if I have some of these issues too and should I be doing some of these protocols. These days, episodes like this one are a rare find - evidence and research based discussions from health/fitness professionals. Definitely worth your time to listen to this.
  • Jaime1234578
    Best fitness podcast
    Jordan is a wealth of knowledge. I enjoy how he makes fitness doable for the average person.
  • kcsrader
    Science based, applicable and fun!
    I am new to the weight lifting and nutrition realm and have learned so much from this podcast. Thank you for providing science based information about nutrition, lifting and building a practical/health focused lifestyle that is applicable to everyone. (It’s also funny, so that’s a bonus.) Thanks!
  • KDoug711
    Great information!
    I love Jordan’s content. He does a wonderful job breaking down complex questions from the fitness world. You can tell he puts a lot of time into preparing these podcasts. Keep up the great work!
  • EricWitmer
    The goat.
    This show rules. Consistently delivering valuable info. Highly recommend.
  • egrimsley3
    Two thumbs up
    What I like about Jordan is he actually takes the time to respond to you on Instagram, etc. even if you aren’t an app user. Taking time out of his day to respond to random folks online is always impressive to me and shows their dedication to helping others at no cost.
  • Blahblabhsjdjifhf
    Love this podcast!
    Jordan’s voice in the fitness realm is extremely refreshing. Nowadays there is a lot of ego, talking down about others, and lies to push someone’s own products and agendas. That is not the case with Jordan. He has my full trust and has gained an avid follower!
  • Chase111
    The BEST!
    I have had the pleasure of working with Jordan for the last 16ish months for 1:1 personalized training
