This week, your hosts welcome online fitness coach, and good friend, Justine Benzinger to the podcast. Justine specializes in helping women get their dream bodies, and their dream lives, by embracing vulnerability, discovering inner confidence, and finding their power.

Justine joins Kara and Kylie for a conversation about the journey to finding true balance in a fitness or functional health journey, and opens up about the impact major life changes and/or trauma can have on your body, and on your routine and goals. She discusses how she moved through her divorce, several big cross-country moves, re-entering the dating world, and keeping up with a social life while still prioritizing her health and well-being. The ladies also discuss the sacrifices that need to be made during a functional health journey and the struggles of being “all or nothing” when it comes to holistic health overall.

This episode is full of wisdom. You don’t

In this episode, Kylie and Kara are doing a deep dive on one of their *favorite* vitamins -- Vitamin D!

Your hosts wanted to deep dive on this topic because many people are Vitamin D deficient, and they hope that through this episode you gain a better understanding of not only what Vitamin D actually is, but all of its many benefits and why it is so important for you to get enough. They cover everything from the symptoms of low Vitamin D, how to test your Vitamin D levels, why you may be deficient, and how and where to get more Vitamin D naturally and through supplementation. As many people do know, sunlight is one way to get more Vitamin D, and so additionally, they cover the importance of sunlight exposure beyond just boosting Vitamin D levels.

In this week's episode, Kylie and Kara answer the question "are summer bodies really built in the winter?"

Spoiler alert: They are.

If you find yourself scrambling every spring/start of summer to try to lose those few extra pounds for your "bikini" body...first, your hosts want you to remember that EVERY body is a bikini body if you want it to be. But they also want to be real with you that if you do have transformation goals to look and feel your best for the summertime, you need to start a lot sooner and you likely need to do things differently than you've done in the past when it comes to your approach.

Give this episode a listen to hear why when you start matters, and how to make sure you finally lose weight not only healthily, but in a way that allows you to keep it off and not keep repeating the diet cycle every year when summer is creeping in.

This week, Kylie and Kara are focusing more on the mindset side of personal development. With Kylie's recent comedy journey as a catalyst, your hosts discuss working through fears of failure and judgment in pursuit of your goals.

Both Kylie and Kara share the feelings they went through taking the road less traveled as young entrepreneurs and the anxieties that occur when you step outside of your comfort zone or what is the "norm" for everyone around you. They provide reassurance that while these fears and anxieties are normal, they CAN be overcome and you shouldn't let them hold you back.

Whether it's a hobby or passion you're interested in, a career path, or your health and fitness journey/the act of hiring a coach, you have to put yourself and your happiness first and not let the "what if's" or others' perceptions of you cause you to stand in your own way.

This week, your hosts are excited to welcome a very special guest, their friend Dr. Hannah Brandt, to the podcast. Hannah is a Doctor of Physical Therapy, an Integrative and Functional Nutrition Practitioner, and online health and fitness coach! Hannah always brings the truth bombs when it comes to health, hormones, and fat loss -- and that holds true in today's episode!

Together, the girls dive into all things Post-Birth Control Syndrome (PBCS). Hannah discusses her decision to transition off of hormonal birth control, how she prevented pregnancy during that time, and the changes she made from a nutrition, fitness, lifestyle, and mindset standpoint to support her body. Your hosts and Hannah also dive into the changes and issues that birth control can create within the body, and Hannah discusses the difficulties she experienced with her body (very similar to Kara), as she gained 20 lbs and lost her period for an entire year post-birth control.

You don't have to be on birth control or even deciding to transition off of it to get a TON of value from this episode. If you're going through any sort of hormone healing or health journey, this one's for you.

This week, your hosts are excited to welcome a very special guest, their friend Raisa, back to the podcast. Raisa is a Registered Dietitian, online health and fitness coach, and works as an assistant coach for DLD Nation. She is also an absolute wealth of knowledge regarding hormonal and women's health.

Kara and Kylie are not only hyped to chat all things Eras Tour with Raisa (the three of them are going together this June), but to chat all things postpartum, as Raisa is a brand-new mom.

Raisa opens up to Not Your Quick Fix about her journey through pregnancy and into postpartum life, how her health and fitness routine has changed, c-section birth, giving herself grace as her body changes, trying to avoid comparing herself to other moms/pregnant women, tips for breastfeeding, and the mentally tough parts of postpartum that not a lot of people share with expecting (or new) mothers. 

This episode is highly valuable to any other new moms, or moms-to-be, and we hope you take something important away, or at least feel less alone in your journey by hearing Raisa share her story.

Your hosts dive into common misconceptions around stomach acid, its important roles in your body, the GI issues we can see if we don't have enough stomach acid, and also, how to improve stomach acid levels / optimize overall digestive capacity.
