Front Page Fitness

In Episode 61 of Front Page Fitness, Dr. Eric Trexler and Dr. Lauren Colenso-Semple worry about the young people. 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.Front Page Fitness is proudly presented by the MASS Research Reviewmassresearchreview.comChapters0:00 Intro6:35 The Mountain Dew "Dunkers" saga & donut backlash9:16 Headline: The "testosterone coach" who says smoke & skip sunscreen17:39 RFK Jr.'s sauerkraut & fermented-foods diet39:41 Gen Z "anxiety bags," panic pouches & calm-down kits52:40 Listener email: a partner's Hyrox obsession strains a relationship1:07:40 Listener Q: Can you make the placebo effect work on yourself?1:12:46 Wrap-up
