Summary

In today’s episode of Fitness Stuff for Normal People, Marianna and Tony are back with Micro-Dose Monday, breaking down a mix of the most interesting topics you’ve been asking about lately with quick, practical, evidence-based takes. They get into the science behind microneedling and whether it actually delivers for skin and hair health, unpack the $85 million David Protein Bar situation, and look at what really happens when you take a much higher 25g dose of creatine compared to the standard 5g. They also cover a new study that challenges the idea that cutting out sweet foods reduces cravings or improves health outcomes. If you’ve been curious about any of these, this episode gives you a clear, no-nonsense breakdown of what actually matters.
