In this episode, we dive into: 

• The Ninja Creami. We both love it!

• Laura’s football story, and how some 10 year olds made her feel special. 

• Why GLP-1s are causing hair loss, and how it’s propping up the beauty industry. 

• Why it’s important to strength train, eat enough protein and nutrient dense foods on GLP-1s

• What’s more likely:

• GLP-1s solve the obesity epidemic or cause a bone density loss epidemic?

• Is it more likely that protein is going to be less important than we thought, or the gut microbiome becomes the biggest health trend?

• Within our lifetime we make such advancements in healthcare that 100 becomes the new 80, or our lifestyles get worse with AI and technological advancements that the average life expectancy is sub 70 years old?

• The average IQ drops 10 points in 20 years, or they discover a drug that can improve the average IQ by 20 points?

• Nutrition and fitness becomes a niche interest because medication solves everything, or that everyone does fitness correctly?

• We are still doing the podcast 10 years from now, or Jaime remains the pull-up champ & Laura never surpasses her? 

• That your gym outfit becomes more important than your workout, or that the trend shifts to working out in your pajamas?

• Within 20 years we have a pill that replaces the benefits of exercise with no severe side effects, or research on the positive effects of exercise and disease prevention becomes so overwhelming that it makes it hard to ignore, and doctors start prescribing it as the first line of defense instead of medication, and insurance companies are legally required to cover personal training as preventative care?
