The Strong and Sober Podcast
Sobriety. Strength. Self-Mastery.
Hosted by two friends who’ve battled addiction and built themselves back through discipline and grit, this podcast is about what it really takes to stay sober, get strong, and level up mentally and physically.
We’re talking raw conversations on recovery, fitness, mindset, and the daily fight to stay locked in. No fluff. No filters. Just real tools for real growth.
If you’re rebuilding your life and want to dominate your body, mind, and mission, this is for you.
Ep39: She Was Called a Drug Seeker. The Real Problem Was Killing Her. The Cris Salazar’s Story
Cristina Salazar’s story is about far more than weight loss.
After years of struggling with her health, weighing over 300 pounds, and feeling dismissed by doctors who blamed everything on her weight, Cristina found herself hospitalized and fighting for answers. What followed was a complete transformation through fitness, nutrition, and rebuilding her life from the inside out.
In this episode of Strong and Sober, Cristina opens up about medical discrimination, emotional eating, identity changes after massive weight loss, and why she’s now pursuing a path to become a nutritionist and trainer to help others who feel overlooked and hopeless. We also talk about self-worth, mental health, rebuilding habits, and how differently the world treats people based on appearance.
This is a raw, honest conversation about survival, resilience, and becoming the person you thought was impossible to become.

Ep38: Songs That Sound Happy (But Are Hiding Cries For Help)
Last week we talked about mental health and how people can hide their pain in plain sight. This week… we realized we do the exact same thing with music.
In this episode of Strong and Sober, we break down songs that sound upbeat, catchy, or even happy on the surface—but are actually about addiction, depression, and real-life struggles underneath. From blackout drinking and meth addiction to deeper themes of isolation and mental health, we dive into what these songs are really saying—and why so many people miss it.
It’s not just about music. It’s about how easy it is to overlook what’s right in front of us.
Some of the darkest stories… are hidden inside the catchiest songs.
