There hasn't been more confusion and misinformation in the health and fitness space than there is right now. If only it were as easy as simply picking a nutrition program and exercising a couple of times a week ... it's not working!!!

We'll dig deeper into this on this episode. 👊🏼

We put out a survey post on social media asking if folks would support their significant other on a weight loss journey (regardless of how many previous attempts). The responses were SHOCKING. Here all about it in this episode. 

This is a tough topic. Being overweight or obese is now more common than not. With only 30% of the population identifying as "normal" or "under" weight the boundaries of communication have changed as to what can be said and how it can be said.

Having an understanding of nutritional basics will not only help you make smarter decisions you'll understand the ramifications of the choices you do make. We cover the least you should know in this episode and how to make more informed choices to support your goals. 👊🏼

A recent study was released to, once again, convict eggs of being ... not so cool for cholesterol.
