July 25, 2024 Ep 61: Should you count calories? Pros, cons and our thoughts on intuitive eating
The phrase "calories in, calories out" gets tossed around like a hacky sack at springtime on a college campus. But is it really that simple? Or is there more to it?

And is the practice of tracking your food intake or "calorie counting" good for you? Or is it an obsessive behavior associated with disordered eating habits? Should you ever do it? Or are you better off ascribing to the practice of intuitive eating?

Calories are a BIG topic and in this episode we're unpacking all of the above and more.

July 11, 2024 Ep 60: How to crush at being a short climber with Juliet Hammer, CSCS
Is being a short climber harder? Or are short climbers making it up? This week, we're joined by special guest Juliet Hammer, CSCS to discuss all that and more. Juliet is a certified badass, a climbing coach, and has climbed more double digit boulders than we care to count. From taking home hardware at outdoor bouldering competitions like the Triple Crown and competing on the national stage in sport climbing, we're so glad to have Juliet on the show.

Plus, Juliet has been telling the world she's 5 feet tall, but in this episode we've got some exclusive intel to reveal... because while Juliet is an overall honest gal, she's been lying about her height.

From training, to grading routes and everything in between, if you're a shorter climber you're going to LOVE this episode.
