Kelly Ripais poking fun at her husband and co-hostMark Consuelosfor packing protein powder when he goes on vacation.
Consuelos brought up airport TSA onLive with Kelly and Markon Friday. “You know what stops you every day is protein powder. If you check that, they stop you, and they’re like, ‘What is that?' I go, ‘It’s protein powder.’ They go, ‘Do you mind if we test it?’ I say, ‘Go ahead.’ ”
Ripa was quick to respond. “I have a question: Why do you travel with protein powder?” she asked. “I mean, what are you, in a weightlifting competition? Like oooh, oooh, you’re going away for the weekend, must pack the protein powder!”
Consuelos, 52, explained his need for the supplement even when on vacation.
“I carry it because I need a lot ofprotein. I need as many grams of protein as my body weight,” he said.
Ripa, 52, interjected — “Or what will happen to you?” — before Consuelos answered, “I will feel flat, and you don’t get as many gains as you want to get.”
Ripa then replied in jest, “That’s the dumbest thing you’ve ever said.”

Consuelos removed his robe to cheers from the crowd. “I feel good,” he said before taking the dip.
“Honestly, there’s so many [benefits],” Dr Leary said. “The moment you step out of the tub you feel like a superhuman. The process of going in isn’t the most enjoyable in the beginning but decreased inflammation, improved sleep, mood enhancement, you have a dopamine spike, your body’s buzzing all day.”
“It’s also the mental challenge of accomplishing something that is so difficult and it makes you so mentally strong,” he added.
