Three Questions with Meghann Koppele Duffy

Episode 25 - Heavy Questions About Weighted Vests


Listen Later

Is a weighted vest the the missing ingredient to your health and fitness journey? Or just more hype?

In this episode of Three Questions, I dive into the three questions I wish more people would ask before strapping on a weighted vest. Instead of rehashing the same old “good or bad” debate, we’ll explore how goals, sensory input, and our craving for shortcuts all shape whether a weighted vest actually helps or just makes things harder.

In the episode you’ll hear:
✅ Why weighted vests don’t live up to the hype for bone density and weight loss
✅ How clothes, pressure, and even your bra straps reveal your sensory preferences
✅ The real question to ask yourself: is a vest supporting your goals, or just distracting you from the work that matters?

Whether you’re a clinician, a movement teacher, or just someone wondering if a vest could be your missing piece, this episode will help you think differently about when and why it makes sense to add extra load.
