About the show

Prime Pursuit is a podcast about building a stronger body, a sharper mind, and a life with deeper purpose. Hosted by John Garrett, Prime Pursuit explores the intersection of health, fitness, longevity, mindset, faith, and personal growth—without hype, extremes, or unnecessary complexity. Episodes break down the ideas, treatments, trends, habits, and conversations shaping modern health and wellness, from strength training, hormones, nutrition, recovery, and emerging therapies to mental resilience, relationships, purpose, and Christian faith. Some episodes go deep into the science. Others feature conversations with experts, entrepreneurs, clinicians, athletes, and people with stories worth hearing. But every episode comes back to the same question: **How do we become better physically, mentally, and spiritually—and make the years ahead some of our best?** This isn't about chasing perfection. It's about pursuing your prime. **Prime Pursuit — Better Health. Deeper Purpose.**
