Is your diet helping or hurting the planet?

In this episode “Lowering the Environmental Impact of Your Diet (Without Going Vegan)” of How to Fitness Podcast, Kate takes the hot seat to explore the environmental footprint of what’s on our plate. From beef vs. bananas to oat milk vs. dairy, we break down the myths, the nuance, and the science behind food choices and what actually makes a difference.

This episode isn’t about shame. It’s about awareness, practical swaps, and making sustainable habits easier to stick with.
