    IS THE FITNESS INDUSTRY TOXIC? Feb 21, 2024

    This conversation stems from our first hand experience trying to follow the guidance of the fitness industry and ending up with gut issues, acne, hormonal imbalances, and more.

    You'll hear our answer in the episode as well as our thoughts on the industry, what we think is and isn't working for women, fitness companies that don't care about health, companies that we love, how to find balance while trying to create a movement routine, and so much more!

    This week, we're bringing you a bit of a different solo episode. While we pride ourselves on always being authentic, we feel like we have lacked our connection with our community the past year.

    EDIT YOUR LIFE: Becoming your version of an "it" girl and elevating your nutrition, body, skin and more Sep 06, 2023

    Are you like us and tired of living a "medium" life?! We got inspired by a conversation we had on our couch: That we're sick of doing things half-ass, if you will, or not reaching our fullest potential with the things we want to achieve. This is especially when it comes to our skin, health, environment and other areas. We're using this candid conversation as a way of talking through HOW we are going to approach leveling up our lives (Spoiler alert: This isn't about working harder than you ever have before, rather doing the things that make you feel your best to become the happiest and healthiest version of yourself). This isn't a "pick apart your life" project, but rather a "how can I improve the things that I care about in order to live a really good life?"

    ARE YOU ACTUALLY HEALTHY!? How to evaluate your health and stop falling victim to marketing traps Apr 27, 2023

    Today's conversation was inspired by our last podcast episode about metabolic health. As we talked through this, we realized there was a large gap between facts and what our society thinks is "healthy" based on what we've been told through the media, marketing and the influence of our family/friends. What we've discovered is that no one is talking about health markers, so we are diving into it today. Get ready to join us in a candid conversation about:

    • How marketing and the media has influenced us
    • What we are told health looks like
    • What it means to listen to your body
    • Questions to ask yourself to determine how healthy you are
    • Signs of a healthy body
    • What is your metabolism (in digestible terms)
