À propos de cet audio
Are weighted vests the next must-have fitness tool—or just another overhyped trend? In this episode of The Fit Physician Podcast, Jake and Dr. Suzanne Rutherford tackle the growing buzz around weighted vests, especially in the women physician community. With social media flooded with influencers promoting their benefits for bone health, fat loss, and strength, Suzanne dives into the science to separate fact from fiction. They unpack what the evidence actually says about their effectiveness—particularly for midlife women navigating menopause and beyond—and why many of the claims being made don’t hold up under scrutiny.
Suzanne shares her personal experience with the vest, the potential risks to watch out for, and when—if ever—it makes sense to include in your routine. You’ll also learn why resistance training remains the gold standard for bone density and fat loss, and how to focus on sustainable strategies that truly move the needle for long-term health and confidence.
