I Weigh - A Playful Approach to Fitness w/ Tally Rye Jan 02, 2024

Show notes

It’s 2024 and Jameela welcomes Tally Rye - personal trainer, podcaster & author of ‘Train Happy’ - for a New Year conversation about democratizing exercise and making body movement’s focus fun and playful. They talk about how we are overcommitting to change at this time of year, how exclusive & high pressure the gym & exercise classes have become, and how filming yourself (and others!) at the gym sets even higher aesthetic standards. Tally shares her approach on gentle encouragement when it comes to body movement, and the pair commit to helping change the narrative of fitness culture starting at I Weigh's 'Move For Your Mind' Event in London on January 19th, 2024.

Show notes

Maintenance Phase hosts Aubrey Gordon and Michael Hobbes join Jameela as we revisit this classic I Weigh episode.

Deconstructing The Beauty Industry Hype with Jessica DeFino Nov 21, 2023

Show notes

Jameela is joined by beauty culture critic Jessica DeFino in a candid conversation about where her current research and journalism is taking her, after years of covering a multi-billion dollar beauty industry for major women’s magazines & beauty apps in the US. The two discuss the science of skincare products VS the science of skin, why the wellness industry makes you feel bad about yourself and the inherently disappointing pursuit of ‘anti-aging’. You’ll hear about current beauty trends that are unsettling your skin with longer term (and unknown) effects, some of the natural ways your skin repairs itself plus some practical takeaways (without a 12 step routine).
