EMS suits, do they work?

I would love to hear more about these EMS suits. It seems like an expensive get-ripped-quick scheme... is there any legitimacy to them? What does the science say? and more importantly, how do you guys feel about them?

PCOS training/dietary/supplement differences?

Love the show! Would love to hear your general thoughts on the topic of PCOS as well as how this may impact training/dietary/supplement differences? There is SO MUCH conflicting (and honestly predatory) information online about this topic and would like to sift through the BS with your help. PS- (personal extra question) could certain PCOS hormonal differences result in a more muscular “bulky” looking build with weight lifting than would be expected in women without PCOS? I know weightlifting is beneficial in PCOS and calorie surplus/deficit impact whether you’re “bulking” or “cutting” but I feel like the various challenges of PCOS naturally makes a “bulky” look a much more likely outcome. Wondering if I should incorporate more cardio to avoid accidentally “bulking”. Thanks for any advice you may have!

Endurance Running w/ Lifting Weights

Hey, I want to say I love the podcast and learning about nutrition and all the fitness research topics you guys provide. Especially since I’m taking classes to be a personal trainer. I’m a former XC runner that’s recently got into more weight lifting since I retired from XC two years ago. I still love running long distances, but I also enjoy lifting and sometimes I have a hard time finding a balance between the two. So my question is what are the positive and negative effects that endurance running provides to my lifts? And what I and the other endurance runners should implement to gain/keep our gains from lifting?
