In tonight's episode of FPF, Trexler and Lauren cover a California law that would require showing ID to buy certain supplements, a bodybuilder accused of injecting a plexiglass-like substance to build fake muscle, a viral piece on “irritable male syndrome,” wife-carrying competitions, and a new longevity fitness competition called the “Super Age Games.” They close with a listener question about using nicotine pouches before fasted morning training.

Notes de l’épisode
Eric and Lauren open with the fallout from Lauren’s anti-cottage-cheese stance, daylight savings complaints, and Trexler’s reconsidered feelings about New York City after a return visit, before a longer riff on the recent surge of online negativity. From there into the headlines: a survey reporting that cats on vegan diets had lower rates of obesity; a cannabis “run club” that pairs getting high with group runs; and a deeper look at the research on cannabis and sleep. They then break down creatine patches marketed to women for cognitive support, take a listener question on how to define “empty calories” and what share of the diet is acceptable, and close by each building their fitness-foods “Mount Rushmore” before signing off.

Trexler and Lauren open with the White Monster Americano and a riff on navigating international coffee vocabulary. From there into the headlines: Shane Gillis’s SNL gym joke and a discussion of gym attire and etiquette; the “ZYN-ification of wellness” and the wave of caffeine, melatonin, vitamin, and even teeth-whitening pouches, and whether the delivery format does anything; a New York Post “30-second arm curl test” said to predict how well you’ll age; and a longer segment on whether Smith machine squats are dangerous, prompted by a viral post about an IFBB pro’s spinal cord injury, which rolls into a listener question about buttwink — what it is and when it actually matters — before they wrap up.

Notes de l’épisode
Today's opening chatter is all about lobster rolls. After that, Lauren and Eric get into this week's headlines. They start with a National Geographic piece on seven science-backed ways to curb appetite without weight-loss drugs, working through the individual tips and the "glucose goddess" framing of natural GLP-1 claims, fiber, and ultra-processed foods. That leads into a broader conversation about the longevity and "optimization" content culture. Two walking headlines follow: one on a walking habit said to boost longevity, and one on the "lymphatic walking" trend and claims about flushing toxins. A listener question from CJ covers the U.S. Army's switch from height-to-weight tables to a waist-to-height ratio for body composition, and its new Army Fitness Test (deadlift, hand-release push-ups, sprint-drag-carry, plank, two-mile run). They close with a listener question from Nicole on the minimum weekly cardio and strength needed to stay healthy on a tight schedule.

Notes de l’épisode
Trexler and Lauren open with Lauren's return after a mystery 18-hour illness and her travels, followed by a callback to their running guilt-tipping saga — this time being asked to tip at a Canadian grocery-store self-checkout — plus some beverage talk and listener feedback. From there they get into the week's science.
The main thread is hydration beyond plain water: an article on water-rich foods and whether you really need to chase a giant-water-bottle hydration goal, and how much fluid we get from food and other sources. They then look at a New York Post story on Eight Sleep's mattress that claims to track your "biological aging" via in-bed sensors, and debate whether it offers anything over a ring or watch, the limits of sleep-tracking wearables, and the health-tech habit of re-solving already-solved problems. Dr. Drew's endorsement of a C15 (pentadecanoic acid) supplement gets an extended breakdown of the marketing claims and how you'd actually design a study to test them. The episode closes on a listener question about fasted training, where they separate fasted training from low energy availability and discuss the topic through an evolutionary lens before wrapping up.

Notes de l’épisode
Lauren shares that the New York Post contacted her about the viral claim that "women can't do pull-ups," which opens a discussion of the data behind it and the factors that go into training for a pull-up. After a detour into "skeleton news" (the first confirmed death by trebuchet), they turn to the headlines: viral Christian men-only gyms, and the growing trend of health-tracker jewelry like smart rings and earrings. The back half leans into the science stories. They look at a conference abstract on AI photo-based calorie tracking and how well these apps estimate calories from a meal, followed by an extended discussion of a Cell Press review on protein intake, aging, and longevity, and how to interpret research drawn from cells, flies, and rodents. They wrap with listener mail — a hippo-themed follow-up to last episode's carnivore-diet segment, and a question about yoga, flexibility, and the claims that surround it, ending on the backstory of Joseph Pilates.

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.

Notes de l’épisode
Lauren interviews Eric about his research on metabolism and energy expenditure. He describes turning down a tenure-track job to move into science communication and then evolutionary anthropology, studying how humans regulate their energy budget. He explains why people get metabolism wrong in both directions — treating it as mysterious and stretching the real person-to-person variation to impossible extremes — and walks through metabolic adaptation, why reverse dieting usually backfires, and the evolutionary logic of the body's "low-power mode." They get into why resting metabolic rate doesn't crater at menopause (the real changes from 20 to 60 are mostly behavioral), how non-exercise activity works and its limits, and what hunter-gatherer and subsistence populations reveal as a kind of "control group" for modern health. He closes with simple public-health advice — sell people on physical activity, find a sustainable calorie-appropriate eating pattern, get enough fiber from whole food sources — and discusses the ongoing debate over the constrained energy expenditure model.

Notes de l’épisode
A special interview episode: Trexler interviews Lauren about her research at the intersection of exercise, muscle physiology, and women. She explains how she backed into menstrual-cycle research after realizing it was a perceived barrier keeping labs from studying women at all, and why her finding that cycle phase doesn't much affect training adaptations should have opened the door to more research — before the internet "slapped her in the face." They cover which sex differences actually deserve attention (menstrual symptoms, PCOS, endometriosis, pregnancy, postpartum, menopause) versus the over-complication that markets special protocols off single-hormone claims. The heart of the episode is three practical questions — how to train around your menstrual cycle, how to think about hormonal contraceptives, and what to actually do at menopause — with the same nuanced answer each time: track your own response, adjust reactively rather than proactively, and match the tool to the goal.

Notes de l’épisode
The last "normal," headline-focused episode before Trexler travels. After the usual Mountain Dew mail — a Baja Blast TikTok and a sticky Australian Mountain Dew candy — they dig into three stories. First, a CNN piece calling strength training a "secret weapon" for women's heart health; they agree the underlying study is solid but the real takeaway is combining resistance training, aerobic activity, and less sedentary time, not any single magic bullet. Second, the push to tax or label ultra-processed foods, where they worry vague definitions and poor categorization could slap warnings on healthy foods like Greek yogurt, and unpack why "food addiction" is more nuanced than headlines suggest. Finally, a NYC "wellness clinic" that rewards healthy habits with perks like Botox and facials, prompting a mixed-bag take on concierge medicine and pay-to-play healthcare.

Notes de l’épisode
Dr. Eric Trexler and Dr. Lauren Colenso-Semple run through the week's health and fitness headlines, starting with Lauren's suspicion that her landlord is poisoning her — and that landlord's confident counter-diagnosis that she's pregnant. The stories: a Huffington Post piece arguing novelty, not more routine, is what's missing from your life; the booming world of "Fido hacking," where owners buy dogs red light beds and AI collars; and research suggesting modern parents' sleep problem is more about perceived quality than actual lost hours. The two fitness segments both push back on sex-specific advice. On the viral claim that women are "squatting wrong," they argue stance comes down to limb proportions and hip anatomy, not sex. On the claim that caffeine hits women differently, they note that body size relative to a flat dose explains far more than estrogen does. They close with Monster-brand pasta and a warning that the show may take a short break due to travel schedules.

In this episode of Front Page Fitness, Drs. Eric Trexler and Lauren Colenso-Semple run through a grab bag of fitness news, listener follow-ups, and Q&As. They open with a listener taste-test of Mountain Dew donuts and a clarification of their earlier "anxiety bag" segment, then react to M&M's cutting two colors over natural dyes and reminisce about Four Loko and other toxins of the 2010s. From there they check out "grief workout" classes, break down the idea of training for a "curvy" hourglass figure, and question whether a DNA test can really program your workouts. They also work through a "15 things trainers would never do" list, read a Gen Z listener's take on their generation, and chat about social media's downsides. The show wraps with listener questions on whether stomach vacuums shrink your waist and how circuit training stacks up against heavy lifting.

They revisit the Mountain Dew "Dunkers" saga from last episode before digging into the headlines: an Instagram "testosterone coach" advising men to smoke and skip sunscreen, and RFK Jr.'s sauerkraut-and-fermented-foods diet, which detours into a discussion of a pricey wellness program. They then tackle the New York Post's "anxiety bags" trend among Gen Z, answer a listener email from a man whose partner's Hyrox-racing obsession is straining their relationship and finances, and close with a science question on whether you can deliberately make the placebo effect work on yourself even when you know it's a placebo.

After catching up on Eric's international speaking trips and Lauren's new glasses, they tackle Mountain Dew–flavored donuts at QuikTrip, a viral social-media claim linking autoimmune disease to women "people-pleasing" and self-silencing, and Dave Asprey's Beyond Biohacking Conference. They close with a listener question from Jonathan (and his cat, Marsh) about whether the body can actually use 80+ grams of protein in a single serving, with Lauren breaking down why protein "utilization" is widely misunderstood.

In this episode, Drs Eric Trexler and Lauren Colenso-Semple begin with an extended rant about the state of science publishing & communication. From there it's a tour through the week's health headlines which include public debates about potential side effects of hormonal birth control, the "you're moving wrong" pain-and-posture fearmongering, a confused New York Post piece treating teen creatine use as a gateway drug, and a list of "parenting mistakes that shorten your kids' lives," among others.

Notes de l’épisode
In Episode 58 of Front Page Fitness, Eric Trexler and Dr. Lauren Colenso-Semple break down the latest health and fitness headlines and answer listener questions. They unpack why "build muscle in a month" marketing sets beginners up for disappointment, why the fear of yo-yo dieting wrecking your metabolism is overstated (the real harms are more psychological than physiological), and where the truth lies in the ongoing "protein wars" over how much you actually need (with the reminder that training, not protein, drives muscle growth). They also dig into the surprising power of the placebo effect through the lens of peptides and steroid research, then close with practical advice on training around 24-hour shift work and prepping for a 161-mile trail hike.
