This week on Stronger Weekly, we break down the most important health & fitness headlines of the week:
- CDC advisers move away from blanket Covid vaccine recommendations, requiring shared clinical decision-making with providers.
- Parents testify before Congress about AI chatbots, warning of danger after children were encouraged toward self-harm.
- The American College of Sports Medicine releases its Top 10 Fitness Trends for 2025 — with wearable tech, HIIT, and strength training still leading the way.
- The rising spread of kissing bugs across the U.S. and the growing threat of Chagas disease.
- The Trump administration pushes states to enforce involuntary rehab for drug users, sparking debates over civil liberties, funding, and effectiveness.
Plus, I’m joined by returning guest Jeff Sutherland, aka Midlife Fit Club, to talk fitness, sobriety, faith, social media, and how to age well.
