Doctor Mike on YouTube: "My Response To Fatphobia Claims" 

We took a small (very large) break. But we are stoked to be back! For our first episode back, we decided to do a little self reflection. A little check in. We discuss 2020, what we've learned in the past year, politics, health, and the future of this podcast.

Join us every other week to discuss all things health, wellness, lifestyle, politics, relationships, and friendships!

Oops, we did another documentary episode! This time around, we watched Forks Over Knives. Forks Over Knives was a movement based on the "disease-reversing power of a plant-based diet". We explore how our most common diseases in America are preventable and reversible. 

OH EM GEE, WE HAVE OUR FIRST GUEST!!

In this episode, Alex joins us to discuss Tarot. How does one get into Tarot readings, should you buy your own deck of cards, and what kinds of questions should you ask in a session?

Our world is loud.... and not just with noise. Most people own way too many things and are always looking to buy more. Practicing minimalism helps quiet the noise.

In this episode, Marisa and Olivia watched the documentary "Minimalism" on Netflix. They explore the way minimalism can help individuals, communities, and the environment!

We're getting calm this week! Today we're discussing meditation.... but not the kind you're thinking.

For most people, when you hear the word meditation, you think sitting in an ashram in India, Eat, Pray, Love style. While this is the original form of meditation, the practice has evolved over thousands of years. If sitting still for an hour doesn't sound appealing to you, there are many other forms of meditation that you can practice.

We are discussing our favorite ways to calm our minds and turn off the noise of the world.

This episode is full on giggles almost the whole time. We've been in quarantine over 100 days!

Everyone has seen all of the fitness programs out there. Every instagram influencer has one. Maybe you've tried a couple, maybe you have one that you swear by. 

In this episode, we discuss some of the things we have tried and what worked for us. Olivia starts the 75 Hard Challenge and talks about what she has done so far. Marisa prefers doing her own thing and not following a strict workout plan.
