Different Life

Gary Donia & Peter Brouillard

Most people don’t need more motivation. They need a different approach. Hosted by Gary Donia and Peter Brouillard, Different Life draws on years of experience helping people navigate pain, movement, recovery, and performance — but the conversation goes far beyond health alone. We talk about:• Strength training as a life skill• Back pain, mobility, and injury recovery• Pelvic floor health and durability• Sleep, stress, hormones, and energy• Performance and longevity over 40• Discipline, habits, and identity shifts• Parenting and modeling health• Relationship-based healthcareWe discuss these not as isolated topics, but as part of a bigger question: What does it look like to live differently, not just try to live better?If you feel stuck in patterns that no longer fit who you want to become, this show is for you. Because better often keeps you in the same cycles. Different changes your trajectory.
