In this episode, we break down two of the most misunderstood topics in the fitness and nutrition world right now: weighted vests and insulin. We unpack the hype around weighted vests, exploring what the research actually says and where people may be putting themselves at risk. Then we shift into one of the most fear-mongered topics in health—insulin—and clarify what it is, how it works, and why it's not your enemy.

Whether you're deep in the wellness world or just trying to make sense of all the noise, this episode will give you practical, science-based insights you can actually use.

We talk about:

-What people get wrong about weighted vests

-The real risks and benefits backed by science

-Common insulin myths and why fear-based advice spreads

-How keto and fasting affect insulin and metabolism

-Why "good food vs. bad food" thinking holds you back

-The danger of overcomplicating nutrition

-Building restraint and making realistic progress
