Hello everybody welcome back to the primal potential podcast I am Elizabeth

Benton and I am very excited because we have Morgan Bungers back on the show today

if you don't know Morgan, Morgan is the other half of my

partnership in Strong Foundations. So it was, gosh, almost a year ago, maybe 9, 10 months ago,

that I realized I wanted to make an offering available for folks who really want to prioritize building strength as they age,

but who don't necessarily know the best way to do that.

Now of course I'm not a personal trainer, I don't play one on the internet even though I have a lot of experience and a lot of education and even some certifications in that area. It's not my primary focus. It's not my most meaningful area of expertise or skill and I

certainly don't have the years and decades of experience in it that people like Morgan do and the hundreds

and thousands of hours of working with clients.

And so I went to Morgan and I chose Morgan because not only was Morgan my trainer, I know that Morgan has worked with some of the most elite athletes in the world but also that Morgan is exceptional at

working with people who don't have an athletic background. In fact now the people who Morgan works with most are people

who are over the age of 50 and who just want to get to a place where they're

really being great stewards of their health, of their

fitness, of their bodies, and they want to be able to move well and move safely and not stop

even though they might be dealing with a bad back or cranky knees or a recurring shoulder injury.

I wanted to have Morgan back on the show, not only because we're preparing for a third new and different cohort of strong

foundations but as I have gone deeper into the rabbit hole of strength and strength training and

building muscle for myself as I'm getting older but also because it's now a big part of my work here, I said to Morgan,

I understand why people binge.

I understand why people overeat. I understand why people drink too much because in those

moments there is a payoff an immediate payoff it backfires, and I do not endorse or cosine

those behaviors for myself or for you.
