    Do you listen to music? Well apparently listening to slipknot can cure your headache? Well, not quite. There is some truth to it though (if you like slipknot that is) as we unpack a new article and research paper on the topic of music and pain relief.

    We also look at an old (but new) article and research paper essentially saying that fructose (sugar found in fruit) is bad and we should remove it. We dissect some rather bold claims including “removing fructose can speed up your metabolism after just 8 days"

    Do you take pre-workout? Well, if you take pre-workout you may want to know what the BEST one is available to that you are equipped with the very best for the very bests gains in the gym.

    We've been busy inventing our own pre-workouts offering everything you need and no random fillers that don't do much. Before that though, we look at a new piece of scientific literature that explores two common ingredients found in pre-workouts. Caffeine and citrulline malate.

    By the end of this episode you'll have a 'bare bones' pre-workout that is easy to create and pretty cheap. Or you can wait for us to release our wild custom pre-workouts (might be a while)

    Here's the questions we hope to answer: Does exercise empower you? Which exercise empowers you the most? What are the gender barriers to exercise?

    Thanks to everyone who got in touch and discussed women's empowerment through physical activities with us!

    This week we look at the world of blue light blocking glasses that promise to protect the eyes and mind from the effects of blue light - the light that many stare at for hours a day.

    There's been a recent surge in demand for blue light blocking glasses with some brands taking advantage and charging large sums. The question is, what does the latest science say? Does the science back these large sums for blue light blocking glasses?

    The 'fat burning zone' is something you'll see on various cardiovascular machines in a commercial gym. By exercising in this 'fat burning zone' you'll lose fat quicker right? Well, we unpack this question and look at the latest science on the accuracy of these fat burning zones.

    We also look at the best drinks for hydration by exploring an older piece of scientific literature that compared various beverages to water. The options for hydrations did amuse us 'it's a Wetherspoons menu Bill'.

    Sometimes hitting the gym can be uncomfortable, but what if you swear? We look at some new literature exploring the relationship between pain and language.

    Next, we'll explore a topic that's always talked about, adolescents and resistance training. In the past, we've talked about it in relation to injuries, stunting growth, and overall health, but now we're talking about it cognitively, specifically academic performance. Are school-aged kids more likely to do well academically if they hit the gym?

    We look at listener polls and messages as well as a brand new research paper on the topic. The research paper on exercise anxiety offers some great insight into the use of cognitive behavioural techniques and how it can help gym goers overcome this barrier.
