Dr. Brian Feeley on Injury-Free Strength Training

This week, Dr. Brian Feeley, Chief of Sports Medicine and Shoulder Surgery at UCSF and team physician for the San Francisco Giants, joins the shoe to share what decades of treating athletes and everyday patients have taught him about movement, strength training, and injury prevention. The discussion covers everything from running, skiing, cycling, and youth sports to shoulder impingement, ACL tears, and the realities of exercising in middle age. Feeley explains why many common beliefs about joint health and injury risk don't hold up to the evidence, how to think about strength training without getting sidelined, and why variety may be one of the most overlooked components of a sustainable fitness routine. They also discuss the hype surrounding peptides, the science of recovery, and the emerging research on muscle regeneration and healthy aging. It's a jam-packed episode and Dr. Feeley is a wonderful guest, hope you enjoy.
