I listened to a few 'health hacks' podcasts on the way in to work this morning. They are interesting, with a few good tips. However, the music kind of gets to me. I am guessing that these podcasts are aimed at 20-somethings, from the music, and I'm probably just not interested in that genre. I never did 'get' hip-hop or techno.
Also, as a side note, a cooking segment spoke about file' powder as a thickener for soups, and mentioned that it was made from okra. It is acually made from sasafras leaves and is used as a substitute for okra. In fact, sasafrass is pretty much a weed here in the south, so many people probably have access to a ready supply. But this is a health podcast, not wildcrafting, so this is a bit of a digression.
Finally, one of the podcasters is parking his car as far as possible from where he works- on the roof of a parking garage. He complained that he would have to reduce his 'workout' when the snow starts because he won't be able to park on the roof anymore. What I am going to suggest is that he starts jogging up the car ramps to his car. The workout would be less intense than taking the stairs, but it will be a longer, more effective workout, IMHO.
