Dr. Brooke Show #443 Do You Really Need A Weighted Vest?

Trend alert: weighted vests. These low-weight vests are all the rage in the midlife/perimenopause space right now. The menopause experts say to wear these babies every day, all day, and for every exercise. The fitness experts say there is a whole lot of problems with wearing a weighted vest for long durations and with certain exercises. I break it all down and go over the most commonly touted studies on bone density and fat loss. I cover some times they definitely aren't a good idea and how to avoid the biggest mistakes if you do choose to use a weighted vest.
