About this episode

In this episode, the hosts discuss various fitness and health headlines, including a viral claim about autoimmune disease and protein utilization, while also addressing a listener's question.

In Episode 60 of Front Page Fitness, Dr. Eric Trexler and Dr. Lauren Colenso-Semple work through a batch of fitness and health headlines before answering a listener question. 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.
