Redefining Strength Podcast
You train hard. You try to eat well. You stay disciplined. And yet progress slows. Energy drops. Fat loss stalls.
The Redefining Strength Podcast is for women who work hard on their health… but still feel like their body isn’t responding the way it used to.
Hosted by Cori Lefkowith, founder of Redefining Strength, this show helps you understand what’s actually happening inside your body — and what to do about it.
Cori is the creator of the STRONG System, used by over 10,000 women around the world to transform their bodies and build results that last.
Through real coaching insights and conversations with leading experts in women’s health, metabolism, and behavior change...each episode breaks down the science in a way that actually applies to real life.
Because the answer isn’t working harder. It’s learning how to work smarter so your effort finally creates the strength, energy, and confidence you’ve been chasing.
If you’re ready to stop starting over and start building a body you can count on, this podcast will help you get there.

How to Build Real Strength Without Destroying Your Body (w/ Dr. John Rusin)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
If you feel like your workouts are “working”… but your body constantly hurts, this episode is going to change the way you think about strength training.
Because the truth is: most people don’t get injured because they’re weak. They get injured because they’re following programs that ignore how their body is actually built.
In this episode of the Redefining Strength Podcast, I sit down with Dr. John Rusin. A world-renowned performance coach, physical therapist, and creator of the Pain-Free Performance system.
Together, we break down:
Why true strength isn’t about specific exercises like squats, deadlifts, or bench press
Why the “no pain, no gain” mindset is secretly sabotaging your progress
How forcing “perfect form” can actually be what’s causing your pain
Why there is no single ideal way to move—and how to find the best movements for YOUR body
How to build strength, muscle, and resilience without beating up your joints
The biggest recovery mistake most people make (and how to fix it)
Why doing less—at higher quality—often produces better results
How to train hard AND stay pain-free for life
If you’ve ever thought:
“I’m getting stronger… but everything hurts.”
“I feel like workouts are slowly breaking me down.”
“I’m afraid to lift heavy because I don’t want to get injured.”
“I don’t know which exercises are actually right for me.”
This episode is for you.
