Introduction:
We start the show with Peter being creepy and sneaking into Gary’s house. The team discusses the beauty of living in New England.
Main Show:
Sarah’s W.I.N’s:
Sarah discusses wasted Covid-19 vaccines. Over 15 million have been wasted. That equals about $427 million.
Sarah gives us 7 steps to increase happiness!
Peter’s W.I.N’s:
Peter discusses intermittent dieting which is different from intermittent fasting. New research suggests a protocol of 2 weeks of dieting followed by 2 weeks of maintenance is an effective way to lose weight. The theory is that we do not allow our metabolism to adapt to caloric restriction.
Peter tells us that 67% of what teens eat is ultra-processed food. This is not good. We discuss ways to not allow this to happen with our kids.
Gary’s W.I.N’s:
Gary talks about Scotland trialing 4 day work weeks (32 hours). Other countries have done the same with good success. This has been shown to improve productivity and happiness.
Gary discusses Joe Rogan’s stance on the Covid vaccine as well as his usage of Ivermectin. He feels as though he is being irresponsible and should use his platform for good.

The Fat & Broke Podcast
03/21/22 • 60 min
Show Summary:
Some people like it hot and some like the cold. But, did you know there are actual health benefits to both and it's not just a comfort thing? Today, in episode 114 of The Fat & Broke Podcast, we explore the concept of heat exposure, what it is used for, and who can benefit from it.
Is Peter trying to justify the purchase of his sauna? We discuss!
Leave A Voice Memo | Review The Show | Follow | Subscribe | Newsletter
Action Items/Conclusions:
Sauna bathing is associated with many health benefits, from cardiovascular and mental health to athletic endurance. It is generally considered safe for healthy adults and may be safe for special populations with appropriate medical supervision. Heat stress via sauna elicits hormetic responses driven by molecular mechanisms that protect the body from damage, similar to those elicited by moderate to vigorous-intensity exercise, and may offer a means to forestall the effects of aging.
Topics Discussed:
- Heat Exposure
- Sauna
- Hyperthermia
- Anti-inflammatory
- Adaptation
- Heart disease
- Cardiovascular System
- Dementia
- Heat Shock Proteins
- Mental Health
- Hormones
- Fitness and Performance
- Detoxification
