Two thirds of what "fitfluencers" say is wrong

5/24/2023
A new study by BMC Public Health analyzing the posts of fitness influencers shows that about two-thirds of what they post on social media is wrong…and may be doing more harm than good. Should there be some kind of vetting performed on the information they provide, should they be banned for posting self-serving misinformation, or is this just a “buyer beware” situation? We chat about these questions and offer a critical piece of advice for evaluating any social media post. Dean Saddoris joined us for this one.

This week’s question from our Discord (goodcompanydiscord.com): BennyG asked: How hard is it to see the fitness industry now, compared to when you, Bart, Alan and Omar were creating vids and smashing weights? I feel like if I were, you watched the videos I see today of everyone being "built different" and all the various "I'm better than you captions" it would be hard to stay quiet. Meanwhile all of you crush much heavier weights and are super humble about it sharing successes and lessons. How much fitness content at this point in time is just posturing?

We’re still on a production break for a couple of weeks or so due to a trip out of the country, so we’re revisiting some valuable episodes from the beginning (and original format) of the show. We know that heat and cold shock proteins form in the body in reaction to changes in temperature, but what do they do and should we be trying hard to get them? • How much do you need to change your body temperature to get a reaction? • What, if anything, are cryo- chambers good for? • Is it enough to just get hot or do you need to moving (like doing hot yoga)? • When in a training cycle should you use them? Dr. Andy Galpin joins us again as expert for this discussion. Andy is a tenured Professor in the Center for Sport Performance at CSU Fullerton, and holds a PhD in Bioenergetics. Our ideas start at about 13:18. Andy starts dropping knowledge starting at around 18:00. Huge thanks to Andy for being our expert once again.
