Effects of strength training on quality of life in pregnant women
Strength training shown to improve mood, energy, pain, and overall well-being during pregnancy
This systematic review of nine randomized controlled trials involving over 1,500 pregnant women found that strength training enhances multiple aspects of maternal health. Regular resistance exercise was linked to reduced back and sciatic pain, better mood and energy levels, improved sleep, and prevention of excessive weight gain. These benefits extended beyond those seen with aerobic activity alone, suggesting that adding strength training can improve both physical and psychological quality of life during pregnancy. The authors recommend incorporating resistance exercise into standard prenatal fitness guidelines.

Individual variations in glycemic responses to carbohydrates and underlying metabolic physiology
Continuous glucose monitoring reveals metabolic subtypes linked to food-specific blood sugar spikes
A Stanford-led Nature Medicine study used continuous glucose monitoring in 55 participants to uncover striking individual differences in post-meal blood sugar responses (PPGRs) to seven standardized carbohydrate foods. Although rice caused the highest average glucose spikes, each person’s strongest response varied — some were “potato-spikers,” “

The sugar industry’s efforts to manipulate research on fluoride effectiveness and toxicity
A ninety-year history
This Environmental Health paper traces how the sugar industry systematically influenced fluoride research and policy from the 1930s to today. Archival records and internal communications reveal a coordinated effort to promote water fluoridation as a dental health solution—diverting attention from sugar’s role in tooth decay—and to suppress or discredit findings on fluoride’s potential toxicity. Industry-funded scientists and front groups shaped public messaging, government advisory panels, and research priorities to align with commercial interests. The authors argue that these interventions not only distorted scientific understanding of fluoride but also exemplify how corporate influence can redirect entire fields of public health policy over decades.

Coaching Special Populations
Building Trust, Health, and Community, with Michele Mootz
In this conversation, Michelle Mootz recounts the origins of her pioneering work with seniors and chronically ill clients—programs that began within CrossFit and have evolved into MetFix’s mission of professionalizing coaching in special populations. Mootz describes creating a closed, data-driven affiliate focused on individuals aged 65+ and those managing chronic disease, where measurable health improvements were matched by profound emotional transformations. Stories like a gastric bypass patient overcoming gym-related trauma illustrated the power of trust, community, and incremental progress. The now-famous “whiteboard,” where participants recorded life-changing victories—carrying groceries, climbing stairs, or playing with grandchildren—became a symbol of purpose-driven coaching and human connection.
