Meredith and Alex sit down in this rabbit-hole filled episode where they explore grifting in the fitness space, and how the over-complication of workout routines can take away from the fundamentals of fitness and nutrition. Instead of science-backed, peer-reviewed advice, profits and quick fixes are everywhere in social media. They try to see through that noise to what fitness grifts you should watch out for while also exploring current grifts in nutrition. They break down the concept of raw diets, the ways in which food processing changed the course of human evolution, and how what we eat reflects current social hierarchies in our society.
