Show overview
The Pillars of Health Podcast has been publishing since 2017, and across the 3 years since has built a catalogue of 185 episodes. That works out to roughly 120 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a fortnightly cadence.
Episodes typically run thirty-five to sixty minutes — most land between 28 min and 50 min — though episode length varies meaningfully from one episode to the next. The publisher flags most episodes as explicit, so expect adult themes or strong language throughout. It is catalogued as a EN-US-language Health & Fitness show.
The catalogue appears to be on hiatus or wound down — the most recent episode landed 6.3 years ago, with no new episodes in over a year. The busiest year was 2018, with 97 episodes published. Published by Jon Carroll.
From the publisher
The "Pillars of Health" podcast covers the areas in which we can improve the most in order to enhance our quality of life. In order to gain an understanding of how each pillar deeply impacts our daily life, Jon, Eirinn and Danny will explore all areas of the four pillars of health. Building sustainable habits in the gym is a great first step. Creating habits outside of the gym leads to lasting success and allow you to focus on other areas of life outside of food and fitness.
