The fitness guru seems to promote a healthy lifestyle ("salubrious" means healthy). On the other hand, when he's alone, he's not very healthy himself. These actions would do something like "corrupt" or "do bad things to" his integrity. The correct answer, "undermined," means to reduce the power of, undercut, or sabotage. He's not making fun of himself, so "ridiculed" doesn't quite work. "Restored" is the opposite of the intended meaning. "Redacted" means to draft or make ready for publication. The guru did not "insinuate," or subtly suggest, anything about his integrity.
