About The Strong New York Podcast

The Strong New York Podcast frames fitness as the entrance, not the whole room. Kenny Santucci uses training culture as a way into longevity, business, food, comedy, medicine, identity, and personal discipline. The show moves fast. A conversation can start with a supplement name that is hard to pronounce, then widen into absorption, heart health, athletic performance, marketing, and the gap between healthy people and people getting left behind. It likes experts, but it does not treat expertise as decoration. Guests are pressed to make the science usable. Peptide therapy becomes a conversation about responsible use, women's health questions, hormones, libido, and the difference between optimization and reckless aesthetic chasing. Oral health becomes a larger argument about breathing, sleep, jaw development, sugar, and why the mouth is tied to the rest of the body. Foot care becomes nervous-system training. A talk about toe spacers can turn into balance, fascia, pelvic floor activation, and staying quick enough to move well into old age. The show also has room for comedians and wrestlers. Andrea Lopez brings fitness, depression, stand-up taste, and comic dysfunction into the same lane. Daria Berenato's episode leans into combat sports, hustle, wrestling, New Jersey roots, and the changing space for women fighters. Hunter Stoller brings the weight-loss conversation back to real food, cravings, muscle, self-respect, and the embarrassment that can spark real change. The register is casual and blunt, but the core impulse is protective. It challenges hype without rejecting experimentation. It values sustainability over hacks. The recurring question is simple: what actually makes a person stronger, healthier, and harder to knock off course. For PlayNext users, the show works best as a high-energy discovery feed for wellness conversations that still sound human.

Made for: For fitness-minded listeners who want longevity, strength, nutrition, and recovery conversations without sterile medical distance. It also fits comedy, wrestling, and New York culture fans who like serious health topics handled through casual interviews.

What sets it apart: The show's edge is its mix of gym-floor directness and technical wellness curiosity. It can ask about peptides, jaw development, fascia, and bioavailability while still making room for cravings, jokes, family background, and business reality.

Best episodes of The Strong New York Podcast

Short reviews from the PlayNext desk, based on the episodes we processed.

Peptides, Hormones and Longevity with Ashley MadsenApr 15, 2026

Longevity only matters if the later years still feel like a life worth living.

The discussion treats peptides as something to use with care, not as a shortcut or a miracle. Its plainest point is hard to miss: a longer life does not help if the later years feel broken or unfamiliar.

Astaxanthin Explained: Longevity, Heart Health & Bioavailability with Dave WatumullApr 8, 2026

A clear, practical take on astaxanthin that balances basic guidance with a broad health pitch.

The episode keeps its focus on astaxanthin and follows a practical line of questioning: what it is, how to take it, why it belongs with a meal, and how soon any change might show up.

Comedian, Andrea Lopez on Humor and HealthApr 1, 2026

A blunt comedy-and-fitness hangout that works best when the riffing turns personal.

A comedian and a fitness-minded host spend the episode circling humor, depression, and exercise as a way to keep moving. The talk stays rooted in the grind of bombing, chasing endorphins, and getting back up to do it again.

Health with Hunter: Sustainable Fat Loss, Real Food Swaps, and Building MuscleMar 18, 2026

Straightforward weight-loss talk with real-food advice and a lived-in personal story.

The episode stays on familiar ground: weight-loss talk, real food, cravings, and the limits of quick fixes. Kenny Santucci sits down with Hunter Stoller, a New Yorker and health coach he has known for the past couple months, and the exchange keeps returning to the practical…

Dr. Jonathan Levine on Breathing, Sleep, Sugar & Why Oral Health Is a Pillar of LongevityMar 11, 2026

Oral health is treated as part of overall health, with a sharp focus on breathing and facial development.

This discussion treats oral health as part of the whole body, not a side subject. Kenny and Dr. Jonathan Levine spend most of their time on breathing, sleep, and the way the mouth connects to the face and jaw.
