The Rich Roll Podcast

Andy Galpin is a PhD in exercise bioenergetics, professor at Parker University, and elite performance coach to professional and Olympic athletes.

This conversation explores his framework of nine fitness adaptations and why many people plateau in what could be called the "gray zone"—working hard enough to feel exhausted but not specifically enough to trigger adaptation. We discuss how movement quality often matters more than intensity, the difference between functional overreaching and overtraining, and what's actually limiting your progress.

Also, Andy coaches me through rebuilding movement patterns after spinal fusion surgery.

Andy translates complex exercise science into practical training wisdom. Enjoy!

The Atlantic’s Nick Thompson Is The Fastest Runner In Publishing: On Setting Age-Group Records, Beating Cancer, & Why Media Must Survive AI

Joanne Molinaro, aka The Korean Vegan, is a James Beard Award-winning cookbook author who has redefined food storytelling through viral videos.

This conversation explores her journey from the facile safety of corporate law to creative uncertainty, using food to reconcile generational trauma, and navigating the liminal space between Korean tradition and personal evolution.

We also discuss her refugee parents' silence, the wellness world's descent into conspiratorial thinking, and how the Korean concept of "sun mat" infuses everything she creates.

Joanne brings remarkable vulnerability to this episode. Enjoy!

How Joanne Molinaro Found Herself Through Food

Roll On is here! Adam Skolnick and I catch up after a month of nonstop travel. Tokyo for the Track & Field World Championships, New York, and DC multiple times.

Big news: Adam announces his debut novel American Tiger—20 years in the making, with the audiobook recorded right here in our studio.

Also on tap: my family crisis that required an Ocean's 11-style heist, accidentally crashing the wrong high school reunion, Alex Honnold scaling skyscrapers live on Netflix, the Norwegians sweeping Ironman Nice, and Sean Penn's performance in “One Battle After Another."

I get candid about what it means to show up when every button you have is being pushed, generational trauma, and practicing unconditional love. Buckle up!

ROLL ON: American Tiger, Adventures Abroad, & The Art of Showing Up

Emily Harrington is a professional climber who became the first woman to free climb El Capitan's Golden Gate route in under 24 hours, captured in the documentary Girl Climber.

This conversation explores her 50-foot fall that nearly ended everything, the eating disorder that almost destroyed her career, and how crying while climbing became her strength. We discuss her innovative double-shoe technique, losing mentor Hilary Nelson while pregnant, and why she calls Mount Everest "Steve."

Emily brings radical vulnerability to a sport dominated by the boys' club, proving that showing your breaking points doesn't make you weak, it makes you human. Enjoy!

How Emily Harrington Became The First Woman To Free Climb El Cap’s Golden Gate In Under 24 Hours

Dr. John Price is a depth psychotherapist and co-founder of The Center for Healing Arts & Sciences.

This conversation explores why men have 50% fewer friends than twenty years ago, the crisis of modern masculinity, shadow work, and John's concept of "sacred refusal" —honoring the adaptations that once saved us but now destroy us. We discuss why suffering is initiation not pathology, the absence of rites of passage, and how the things we find most uncomfortable often reveal our deepest truths.

John turns the therapeutic lens on me throughout—a benign adversary calling out my own resistance to vulnerability.

This is medicine for anyone feeling trapped by their current circumstances. Enjoy!

Psychotherapist John W. Price Unpacks Ancient Wisdom For Modern Healing

This Women's Health and Hormones Compilation explores how estrogen regulates brain function, why 86% of mothers lose core strength with no recovery protocol, and the critical timing window for hormone therapy.

Featured experts include Dr. Lisa Mosconi (ep. 819), Dr. Robin Berzin (ep. 873), Dr. Neal Barnard (ep. 492), Dr. Gemma Newman (ep. 678), and Dr. Kyle Gillett (ep. 720).

We discuss fat cells as hormone producers, the 1993 federal mandate for women's inclusion in research, and the two transformations unique to women—childbirth and menopause. Along the way, we uncover how dietary changes prevented one woman's hysterectomy and reversed another's endometriosis.

This is essential listening for understanding women's health. Enjoy!

Women's Health Compilation: Leading Experts On All Things Estrogen, Menopause, Fertility, & The Diet That Changes Everything

Dara Torres is a 5-time Olympian, 12-time Olympic medalist, and the oldest swimmer to ever win an Olympic medal at age 41.

We explore how she broke American records two years after giving birth, trained only five days a week while beating teenagers, and missed her sixth Olympics by nine-hundredths of a second. We discuss her revolutionary recovery-focused training, battles with bulimia, and why she still can't turn off the competitive switch at 58.

Most surprising? The swimming world's indifference to her game-changing methods.

Dara redefined athletic longevity. This conversation unpacks how. Enjoy!

Beyond Eat, Pray, Love: Elizabeth Gilbert's Raw Truth About Addiction, Codependency & The Awakening That Saved Her Life

In today's episode, Rich talks with Michael Greger, M.D., the man behind the incredibly informative non-profit website NutritionFacts.org. We discuss plant-based nutrition, the pros and cons of a wide variety of popular diets from Pritikin to Paleo to Atkins, and the impact of corporate food and pharmacuetical interests on everything from food marketing/labeling to the current state of nutrition research and medical school curriculums.
Dr. Greger then gets down to the nitty gritty on specific nutrition subjects like omega-3 fatty acid oil supplementation, the impact of antioxidant intake on exercise-induced oxidative stress and athletic adaptations to training, and of the course the hows and whys of protein intake.
At the end of the day? All roads lead to kale.
Enjoy the listen
