  • Episode 122: Can Weight Loss and Self-Love Coexist?

    Your hosts are back this week to discuss a very nuanced conversation: how to have self-love and respect while still desiring healthy weight loss.


    One of the most important aspects of a health and fitness journey is being able to accept yourself and your body at every stage, even when you desire to change your body. The ladies walk you through some important items to be aware of and think about when wanting to change your body composition, and how to go about this process in a way that still honors your body and prioritizes self-love + acceptance.

  • Episode 120: Is It IBS or Something Else? with Haylee Colannino

    This week, your hosts welcome Registered Dietitian and online health and fitness coach, Haylee Colannino, to the show. Haylee is a wealth of knowledge whenever it comes to all things women's health, gut health, and hormones!

    Together, they dive into all things IBS and why it goes much deeper than simply a diagnosis. The girls define IBS and its primary symptoms, underlying issues that are often creating "IBS" symptoms (that most docs won't test for), whether or not the low-FODMAP diet is helpful, and further testing to help you gain more insight into your GI issues. They also discuss nutrition, lifestyle, and supplementation strategies to help manage and improve your IBS.

    If you've been diagnosed with IBS and feel like you still don't know how to fix your GI symptoms, this episode is for you!

  • Episode 118: The Truth About Cholesterol

    This week, your hosts are back after their holiday break with the first episode of the new year, and they're diving into a long-awaited topic.. cholesterol! Cholesterol is a blood marker that is very demonized, but Kara and Kylie are here to break down why it may not be so bad after all.

    They start by defining cholesterol and its functions in the body before diving into the different types of cholesterol and their "normal" levels. They also share important blood markers that can be even better predictors of heart health outside of just total and LDL cholesterol, reasons your cholesterol may be elevated that you might not have thought of, and diet and lifestyle factors you can implement to help improve your cholesterol levels.

    • Episode 115: Is Mounjaro Right for You? with Gianna Beasley

      This week, your hosts welcome Kara's friend and Registered Dietitian, Gianna Beasley, to the show. Gianna is not only an RD, but also an online health and fitness coach, Certified Personal Trainer, and has a big functional health background.

      We're having a very nuanced conversation surrounding GLP-1 medications and Gianna's one-year journey with taking Mounjaro. With her diagnosis of PCOS, insulin resistance, and a few other autoimmune conditions, Gianna gave Mounjaro a try after implementing all of the necessary diet, exercise, and lifestyle changes to improve her health.

      Together, we have a very open conversation about why Gianna chose to start Mounjaro, who should and should not be taking GLP-1 medications / weight loss medications, using these medications the right way, pros and cons, common side effects, the changes that she's seen in her health and physique, how its impacted her relationship with food, and more.

      We understand that this is a very sensitive subject to many, and Gianna is a trusted source to discuss the complexities of medications like these. This episode is full of value and important context that helps you to see the bigger picture!
