In this week's episode, your hosts dive into the hot topic of motivation. Many people struggle to start, or continue, their health and fitness journeys and blame it on a lack of motivation. The reality is that no one is motivated all of the time, but those who succeed have found a way to keep moving forward anyway. How do they do it?

Kylie and Kara have the answers for you as they dive into the issues behind relying on motivation, how the process of motivation, action, and results really works, and how you can get around slumps and push through periods where your motivation is lacking.

This week, Kylie and Kara are diving into some hot, trending topics in the health and wellness world.

First, your hosts address the recent viral videos of Gwyneth Paltrow's "wellness routine," which includes clips from a recent podcast she was interviewed on. They dive into why it is so important to do your research and understand context of the information you're seeing online, and the responsibility wellness influencers have to provide context as well.

Next, they cover the current Ozempic craze. Ozempic is intended to treat Type 2 Diabetes, but is currently gaining popularity and being prescribed off-label for weight loss. Kylie and Kara break down how the drug (and others like it) works, what and who it's intended for / can be beneficial for, the side-effects, and they also present some of the potential long-term issues with using the drug specifically for weight-loss.

Both of these conversations are a reminder that context is key in every scenario, and that what works for one person is not what should be utilized for everyone. It is also a reminder to always prioritize your health and remember that quick fixes usually come with consequences, and a not-so-quick recovery process.

Kylie and Kara are back this week with a very emotional, and hopefully, very impactful episode. In honor of National Eating Disorder Awareness  (NEDA) Week happening recently, your hosts open up about their own history, and even sometimes current struggles, with disordering eating.

They also leave the audience with some of their own tips and suggestions for more mindful eating, and navigating a fitness journey where you have goals you want to reach, without finding yourself falling back into destructive behaviors.

Kylie and Kara are back with an education-packed episode. Many of the health and weight-loss issues women face are rooted in hormonal imbalance, and some of the most commonly effected hormones are estrogen and progesterone.

Together, they cover estrogen and the important role it plays in the body, as well as what symptoms occur when you have too much estrogen (estrogen dominance). They also dive into progesterone, its role in the body, and the symptoms you may experience when you do not have enough progesterone. Additionally, they give advice on the steps you can take toward fixing estrogen dominance and low progesterone. 

If you've struggled with these hormonal imbalances, this episode is for you!
