Having trouble staying up-to-date with the newest health and fitness information? Confused or overwhelmed by the constant flood of contradictory health and fitness information? Look no further. In Front Page Fitness, Dr. Lauren Colenso-Semple and Dr. Eric Trexler discuss the hot topics dominating the headlines to provide reliable, accessible, and actionable information you can trust.
Lauren is back in the US, which kicks off a tangent about her new (third) phone number and the newest ”Dunkers” in the donut/soft drink industry. After that, they get into the headlines of the week. First up is ”boy kibble,” then a Shake Shack guilt-tipping controversy sparks a full rant about tipping culture creeping onto self-service kiosks and app-dependent businesses. After that, a New York Post piece on returning to the gym earns rare praise, followed by a less praise-worthy headline about active recovery. The back half covers a Huffington Post story on a study linking midlife TV watching to later brain shrinkage — interesting but with plenty of potential confounders and limitations. The top headline is a famous doctor (the same ”alpha” physician advising RFK Jr. and JD Vance) claiming that toilet paper becomes unnecessary when you adopt his preferred diet. They close with a listener question about protecting your eyesight through a PhD.
