In this episode of the Rest, Eat, Move podcast, the Matt and Chris run through a light-hearted “12 Days of Health” series, exploring popular fitness and wellness trends with a mix of experience, skepticism, and common sense. They discuss saunas, cold plunges, fasted cardio, peptides, hormone therapy, intermittent fasting, zero-calorie drinks, spot reduction, protein recommendations, the carnivore diet, oatmeal, barbell squats, and wearables—emphasizing that most trends become problematic when taken to extremes. Throughout the conversation, they reinforce long-term fundamentals such as balanced nutrition, realistic expectations, thoughtful training, and tuning into the body’s own signals rather than blindly following hype or shortcuts. While many modern approaches have potential benefits, the hosts caution that most require context, moderation, and an understanding of how the body naturally works.
