Hurdle with Emily Abbate

Latest Episodes:

In Focus: Making Smarter Eating Choices With Shana Spence, MS, RDN @thenutritiontea Jan 08, 2021

Show notes

2021 has arrived, and with it — a lot of us are setting some big goals as well as new year's resolutions. This week on Hurdle, I'm releasing five back-to-back episodes as a part of the "In Focus" series, chatting with top experts about some of the most popular, frequent topics in wellness that many set goals around time and time again.

For episode three of the series, I'm chatting about the importance of eating better with Shana Spence, MS, RDN. In today's episode, Shana talks us through the notion that everyone has a different version of what healthy means for them, but we can all make smarter choices for a better overall diet. We chat through hydration best-practices, how to navigate bloat — whether it be post-holidays or any other event, why it's important to have a lot of color in your meals, and so much more. Plus: The difference between frozen/canned and fresh fruits and veggies and the big perk to not eliminating anything ~completely~ from your eating/drinking repertoire.

In today's episode, the conversation kicks off with us chatting about the importance of movement as a whole, but really transitions into the beauty of strength training and how to get into it.

In Focus: Embracing a Positive Mindset With Nichelle Hines, Actor, Activist & CRO at Cycle House Jan 05, 2021

Show notes

For episode two of the series, I'm chatting about the power of positivity with Nichelle Hines, activist, actor, and chief ride officer at Cycle House. Inspired by the tough year that was, I think it's safe to say that many of us could use a little motivation to look on the bright side. In today's episode, Nichelle is talking us through how to focus on the good, the one thing you should do as soon as you wake up (and before you go to bed) that can make a major difference, and how embracing your authentic self can make a world of difference.
