Bala Bangles

Thoughts on the new Tiktok trend of wearing bala bangles on your wrists during your day-to-day activities to "tone" the arms? Seems a bit silly, but wanted your guys' thoughts

Weight Vest Link

Sooo here is a link I want to know whether is true or not! I asked the question and I am truly curious. I no longer believe everything I see on social media and do so much research on whatever topic mainly thanks to what you both have taught us. But here is one link on weighted vest and “it’s benefits” what’s your take on this? https://www.instagram.com/reel/C4gfi-NuVmW/?igsh=ejdlNnhqZ2oybXIy

Low protein and muscle building??

I had been doing macros and lifting for 18 months or so when my renal doctor (I have one kidney) put me on a low protein diet a few months ago. I went from protein of 130 to 80, and it sucks, I continue to lift but dont push myself because of discouragement and feeling like it is useless on the low protein diet. Is it possible to build at 80 mg protein? Currently I am doing 80 protein/70 fats/180 carbs for 1720ish calories although I really don't pay as much attention to the carb/fat balance just calories and protein. I am also 60 so my goal is really strength for my "golden years" and to keep up with the grandkids. I realize this is a very individualized question and may not get answered, but wanted to really know if I am wasting my time lifting still (for what its worth, I mostly lift. I hate cardio so only do it once a week . I do have step goals I try to hit) THANK YOU

Organic Foods

I have been listening for awhile (and recently joined Premium to support all you guys are doing for "the regular guy". My question is about organic fruits. You talk often about organic foods not being as great as they are touted, but what about fruits? I have often heard that if you can only buy some stuff organic it should be the smaller fruit that you eat the flesh (ie: berries) since the chemicals are more condensed. Is this inaccurate? Would love to save $$ and just buy regular fruit! Thanks

Protein shakes tips for hot girls with tummy aches

Hi! Funny title aside, love you guys and love the podcast, apologies if this was answered already. I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to be able to add a protein shake into my diet for times when I’m in a pinch and want to hit my protein while staying in my calorie range. FOR THE LIFE OF ME I haven’t been able to find a single protein shake that doesn’t make me feel like STEAMING HOT GARBAGE. I’ve tried plant protein, I’ve tried whey protein, I've tried whey isolate protein, ultra filtered? You name it I’ve given it a shot. I currently only get my protein from whole food sources as a result, but some days you just could really use a protein shake to fall back on as a plan b. Can you please give any recommendations you may have for protein supplements for people who are really sensitive to them?? (P.S. I don’t even normally have a sensitive stomach or any allergies or celiac/lactose intolerance either, just weirdly specifically protein shake intolerance???) Please help! <3
