Build for Health with Srdjan Injac

Welcome to Build for Health, where we flip the script on what strength really means. Hosts Pete Wright and coach Srdjan Injac invite you to leave the “get shredded fast” mindset at the door and discover how building muscle is the ultimate investment in your long-term health, sharp mind, and resilient life. 

In this debut episode, Srdjan busts fitness myths, explains why muscle is your metabolic secret weapon, and shares real talk about the discipline, science, and everyday choices that make lasting change possible—no matter your age or starting point. Expect honest stories, surprising science (did you know “skinny fat” is a real thing?), and practical advice that doesn’t require giving up cupcakes forever. Plus, learn why your doctor probably isn’t talking to you about muscle—and why that needs to change.

What is Build for Health with Srdjan Injac?

Build for Health is a show that flips the script on fitness. Hosted by longtime podcaster Pete Wright and strength coach Srdjan Injac of ELEV8 Fitness, this show isn’t about gym culture or getting shredded—it’s about why building muscle is the most important investment you can make in your long-term health.

Each week, Pete and Srdjan break down the science, bust the myths, and offer real-world insight into how resistance training supports not just strength, but brain function, metabolic health, emotional well-being, immune resilience, and aging with independence.

If you think lifting weights is just for looks, think again. It’s time to rethink strength—and build a body that’s built for life.
