SS 089 - Cupping Therapy- Placebo Effect or Science?
As a follow-up to last week's episode on the Olympics, this week Grant and Heavey talk about the ancient Chinese practice (and a Michael Phelps go-to recovery method), cupping therapy. Heavey breaks down the practice and discusses whether there is science to back up the results. Diving down the rabbit hole, Heavey shares a variety of studies regarding the placebo effect and the potency of the mind-body connection. After geeking out on studies and sugar pills, the boys enjoy two different Dalmore Scotches.
