  • Debunking Fitness Myths with Paige Halas
    Does drinking lemon water increase your metabolism? Does intermittent fasting truly help you to lose weight? In the world of influencer marketing and clickbait, we can easily fall into the trap of believing a trend simply because it’s popular, and not actually take the time to do our scientific research on the topic. This week I am joined by the host of the Beauty and the Biotech Beast podcast, Paige Halas, who will help me debunk and UNTWIST some of our favorite fitness trends and myths through the power of scientific research. We love a researcher moment!

  • Dabbling Outside the Comfort Zone

    Feeling stuck in mediocracy? Letting your lack of knowledge on the French Press get you down? Then this episode is the one for YOU. Today we are getting comfortable with our OWN company and learning how to push past our comfort zone to stop neglecting growth. We're acknowledging the years of accepting our familiarity on a subject without pushing past it. We're tackling the squat rack that took center stage from your POV on the balcony. We're finally going to that fitness class we told ourselves we'd go to for the past four months. If you related to any of the above, this episode is for you.

  • The BMI is Twisted and I'm Heated

    When I hear the term "BMI," I crawl into the fetal position and hide under a boulder. My hatred for this measurement tool gets unraveled as I prepare to take my personal training certification exam and vent about the TWISTEDNESS of this evil formula. I share in the importance of celebrating your small gym accomplishments, pushing yourself in your workouts, and thank the beauty that is the end of mercury's retrograde.

  • Living Your Authentic Self with Amanda Wan

    Amanda Wan is the definition of productive. At 22, she runs two entrepreneurial businesses, produces a YouTube channel as well as a successful podcast, and offers freelance editing in her spare time between being a full-time student and working a part-time job. Sounds easy, right? Amanda explains how in the heck she manages her passions, shares her journey with her sexuality online, and how she went to Kylie Jenner's 18th birthday party (no, this isn't clickbait). This is your weekly FaceTime with friends meets business-woman special.

  • You've Got a Positive, Fitness Friend in Me

    I am TIRED. I am tired of being negative, upsetting, depressing, pessimistic. I want to be a positive influence and share my optimistic perspective on life with you, even when I have a rough day. I am switching my recent perspective from horrible and negative to positive and inspiring, and including you along for the ride. From inserting my take on the "Instagram vs. Tiktok" debate to reviewing my favorite fitness influencers to sharing my opinions on The Bachelor and Love Island, I will, and never will, hold back.
