2876: GLP-1, Wearables & Longevity Fads; The Fitness Traps Nobody Warns You About
Jun 10, 2026
In this episode the guys break down the four biggest fitness traps of 2026 — over-reliance on wearables and tech, the GLP-1 shortcut and muscle loss crisis, chasing longevity fads over basics, and aesthetics over everything. They also get into the alien.gov website reveal (spoiler: not what anyone expected), the black market GLP-1 side hustle spreading through social circles, a new study showing resistance training beats cardio for fat loss head to head, and Doug’s 30-day Dose liver enzyme experiment update. Then they coach live callers submitted through mplivecaller.com — Aidan from Kansas on lingering strength and nerve issues after mono, Jamie from Oklahoma on rebuilding her relationship with food and training after anorexia and overtraining, and Caleb from Pennsylvania who shares an inspiring 18-month reverse diet success story before getting help with chronic forearm pain.
