Raising the Standard: Movement, Mastery & the Future of Human Performance with Ashleigh Quint & Justin King

In this episode of Ageless & Timeless, host Michele Hughes sits down with two influential leaders in the health and performance world: Ashleigh Quint, senior writer for Top Doctor Magazine and founder of Uplift Fitness & Wellness, and Justin King, elite performance coach to top athletes, including 6X Mr. Olympia Chris Bumstead, and Head Coach/Partner at STNDRD Coaching.

With over two decades in fitness and health promotion, Ashleigh blends storytelling, education, and holistic wellness practices to inspire sustainable change. Justin brings a decade of high-level coaching across 16 professional sports, decades of Poliquin-influenced methodology, and a mission grounded in excellence, precision, and faith.

Throughout the conversation, Michele explores how Ashleigh and Justin each found their way into functional wellness and performance coaching, eventually aligning through their shared Poliquin lineage, mutual mentors, and their work with Top Doctor Magazine and STNDRD. They discuss the evolution of the wellness industry, the rising demand for education, and why individualization—through assessments such as blood work, neurology, metabolic analytics, and biomechanics—is the key to unlocking true transformation.

Ashleigh highlights the importance of restoring the “art of coaching” and the critical role of movement, recovery, and sustainable habits in everyday health. Justin walks listeners through STNDRD’s data-driven approach, emphasizing precise nutrition, hormonal balance, recovery practices, and deep alignment with purpose as the foundation for long-term results.

They also explore the future of collaborative care, discussing the emerging “Trinity of Health”—the physician, the coach, and the individual—working together to create meaningful, lasting change. The episode covers everything from peptides, food quality, gut health, and stem cell therapy to the psychology of behavior change, spiritual grounding, and redefining what it means to live optimally. Both guests share powerful insights on education, intention, and why living “on purpose” is central to achieving a truly ageless and timeless life.
