In this episode, Dr. Ryan Hewitt walks you through the ultimate prep guide for conquering endurance events; especially the Tough Ruck Marathon, held the day before the Boston Marathon to honor fallen military and civil servants.

Whether you're training for your first endurance race or looking to sharpen your edge, this episode breaks down the three core categories that separate those who finish strong from those who fall apart:

• Gear – What to wear, pack, and avoid (hard-earned blister lessons included)

• Fuel & Hydration – Simple, effective strategies to avoid bonking or blowing up

• Mindset & Pacing – How to overcome “the dark mile” and finish with power

Dr. Ryan shares battle-tested insights from years of experience in Ironmans, marathons, ruck races, and SEALFIT events, offering real-world advice on everything from choosing your socks to building mental toughness.

If you're serious about building a hybrid body that’s strong, mobile, and mentally unshakable… this is the episode for you.

“Mental toughness isn’t about brute force. It’s about setting small goals, managing your thoughts, and stacking wins mile by mile.”

• How low testosterone shows up in men and women (think insomnia, brain fog, and joint pain)
  

• The top peptides for anti-aging, recovery, and gut healing
  

• Why traditional medicine is broken—and what you can do about it
