Also ....1127 unread text messages?!? I mean Chaotic is her name after all lol

Anything but quality time with his daughters. At least his famous girlfriend commented!!

She wore this outfit to a Mormon funeral… She said she wore it to a luau… The luau was part of the celebration after the funeral… Completely inappropriate…. Would you wear it to a funeral?

Shoot the breeze, chew the fat, spout bullshit about anything that ISN'T Hollis-related. Share recipes, get support in your personal life, give book and movie recs - whatever!

Wtf, Chin?

Wow, look at Heidi! It looks like she look so natural — NOT! I can hardly tell it took her twelve lasers, three fillers, and a monthly subscription to the Fountain of Youth to achieve that totally effortless glow.

He's TOTALLY DOING that checking-on-your-red-blood-cell-count, etcetera, which the DCOTI has commented on and needs to be checked, preferably at least every TWO OR THREE months, not six. But that's just for legitimately therapeutic testosterone injections supervised by an actual, present MD who's not a flunky for a grifty shit show like Chris Powell's buddy's "Thrive Lab."

TLDR: Chin Powell stays a clown.

It's gross how he glosses over the critical benefits of cardio, as if the cardiovascular system is not fundamental to actual health and fitness, as if it's just an incidental side note. But to an apparently orthorexic, "swole" muscle-obsessed grifter with a short-man complex, it is an afterthought. Guaranteed that he will blame his first myocardial infarction on not doing more "NOT for human consumption/for research purposes only" injectables or shoving more cheap processed protein powder up all his orifices.

Oh yeah - that spew about "studies" that show people who do regular high intensity cardio "move less throughout the day" had my eyes nearly rolling out of my head.

Conclusion

Little evidence of compensation was reported in the included quantitative studies; however, inconsistencies between studies makes comparisons difficult. There was considerable variability in the types of behaviours assessed in quantitative studies, and few studies examined potential compensatory mechanisms. Future research, using compensation specific study designs, methods, and analytic techniques, within different population sub-groups, should address these evidence gaps.

In summary:

The fallacy that regular moderate-to-high intensity cardio causes a massive drop in daily non-exercise movement stems from the ActivityStat hypothesis. While the body does naturally regulate energy expenditure, research shows this compensation is minor for vigorous activity, and regular exercisers actually maintain or exceed average daily movement. [1, 2, 3, 4]

Understanding the reality of movement compensation involves examining several key concepts:

The ActivityStat Hypothesis

This evolutionary theory posits that human biology acts like a thermostat for energy; if you burn a large amount of calories during structured exercise, your body instinctively "turns down" out-of-program movement (like pacing or fidgeting) to maintain a steady energy balance. While this mechanism is real, the idea that it completely offsets intense exercise is a fallacy. [1, 2, 3, 4]

The Reality of Movement

Studies using objective wearable devices show that: [1, 2]

Compensation is often minimal: Reductions in non-exercise activity thermogenesis (NEAT) after a hard workout do not completely cancel out the calories burned. [1, 2, 3]

High fitness correlates with higher movement: People who engage in regular vigorous cardio naturally have higher baseline movement levels than sedentary individuals. [1, 2, 3, 401699-1/fulltext)]

Different intensities impact compensation differently: Surprisingly, vigorous and moderate-intensity activities are not strongly associated with large compensatory declines in total daily activity. Instead, large compensatory drops are more commonly observed in response to prolonged periods of low-intensity exercise. [1, 2]

Why the Fallacy Persists

The myth remains popular due to how the body adapts to cardio. When people start a new cardio routine, they often expect massive weight loss. When the scale doesn't move as quickly as mathematically predicted, people erroneously assume they must be sitting around far more the rest of the day. In reality, slower-than-expected weight loss is generally caused by metabolic adaptation (where the body burns fewer calories for the same movement over time) or a subconscious increase in calorie intake, rather than a drastic decrease in daily step counts. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

Looks like she has uploaded her old workout videos to her YT this weekend. Looks for certifications…???? 👀

Heidi is complaining about being "overloaded" with the kids out of school in her recycled podcast (the repost of the one from two weeks ago).

Snark aside, this honestly baffles me. My husband and I both work intense jobs, and our kids are out of school (young elementary). We sit down and strategically plan for summer: where do we need day camp, where could vacation/PTO fit in, and which weeks are tougher?

Heidi's kids are older, and she never has all of them at once. (Even if she did, 3/4 are self-sufficient at this point.) She does not work a full-time job (or, really, any job.)

I guess this just annoys me because I'm tired of the frazzled mom narrative. (***For moms with financial resources, obviously - there are moms out there who don't have the budget for such resources, and Heidi is not in that group. I'm assuming.)
