Why Fitness Gimmicks Keep Fooling You And What Actually Works | Mind Pump 2833

Are EMS workout suits the new Thighmaster? Sal, Adam, and Justin break down the latest fitness gimmick trend and explain why no gadget will ever replace the basics. They also cover a shocking new study on erythritol (yes, the 'healthy' sweetener) linked to blood clots, the science of testosterone therapy for women, a potential sleep apnea pill, and scientists who digitally mapped a fruit fly brain — and what that means for human consciousness. Stick around for four listener Q&As on carrying babies, body types, deadlift shoulder pain, and returning to training after injury.
