In this episode of the Strong by Design Podcast, host Jared Haley explores how we can truly hear and recognize God’s voice in our lives.

Jesus said in John 10:27, “My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.” So, what does it mean to know His voice—and how do we learn to listen?

Jared shares his personal journey of growing up in the Friends (Quaker) church, where he learned to discern the Holy Spirit’s leading in a community setting. This episode is a powerful look at spiritual listening, communal discernment, and how every believer can grow in their ability to follow Jesus more closely.

Don’t miss this encouraging and insightful conversation—your faith walk will be better for it.

Most people don’t realize it, but one of the simplest ways to understand your overall health is by tracking your blood sugar. In this eye-opening conversation, Dr. Boz, Annette Bosworth, MD and I dive into why blood glucose monitoring—and especially using a Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM)—can give you a clear picture of how your body is functioning.

From energy crashes to long-term chronic disease, blood sugar plays a bigger role in your health than you may think. And the best part? You don’t need to be a scientist to make sense of it.

We break it down in a way anyone can understand—engaging, thought-provoking, and sprinkled with a bit of humor—so you’ll walk away with practical insights you can actually use.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• Why insulin resistance is at the root of so many modern health struggles.
• How tracking your blood sugar (even with a simple monitor) can transform your health decisions.
• The surprising link between everyday choices and your long-term risk for chronic disease.
• Why CGMs aren’t just for diabetics—they’re a powerful tool for anyone serious about health.
• Simple, actionable tips to start taking control of your blood sugar today.

In this episode of the Strong By Design podcast, Coach Chris Wilson sits down with Coach Zach Zenios—licensed neurosomatic therapist, yoga instructor, US Marine and lifelong movement coach—to talk all things shoulder health, healing, and Indian clubs.

We kick things off by exploring Zach’s unique background and the origin of his passion for Indian club training. From the anatomy of the human shoulder to the difference between raw strength and true functionality, Zach breaks down what most people get wrong about shoulder training.

He also shares his personal “2-step formula” for shoulder pain relief, plus the overlooked connection between relaxation, barefoot training, and nervous system reset. Around the 30-minute mark, we get into aesthetics, movement quality, and how club training actually builds a more capable, athletic-looking body.

As the conversation deepens, Zach opens up about the creation of the Ageless Shoulders program, what makes it different, and why Indian clubs offer a timeless solution for stiff, aging joints. We even dive into his bold personal experiments—like dry fasting—and how they’ve impacted his recovery, energy, and mindset. Whether you’re in pain, getting older, or just want to train smarter, this episode delivers the knowledge and inspiration to help you move, feel, and live better.
