  • Weight Loss vs. Fat Loss

    When someone sees the number on the scale go down, they get happy - "YAY I've lost weight!" But hold up, when the scale moves it does not always mean you are losing fat. If you are going about dieting, in most of the methods out there, you are likely losing more than fat, and that's not a good thing. Be sure to listen to the know the difference between losing fat and losing weight. Knowing the difference determines long-term health and more.

  • Body Positivity is Getting Stirred Up

    The body positivity (BoPo) movement has been working to break down barriers to accepting all body sizes. It's so great showcasing that we can't all be the same size and we are here for all the bodies. But now some BoPo influencers, who have built their whole community around body acceptance, aren't being accepted because they want to lose weight. What the heck? It's damned if you, damned if you don't. Beth and Jessica discuss body positivity and why people get upset about change in the community. As well as how to support your mind around your body, health, and online communities when wanting to make a change.

  • Is There an Optimal Diet?
    Oh man, what a conversation we had about what, if any, is the optimal diet for most people!

    The show leans heavily towards proving that vegan/plant-based diets are the most beneficial, but is that true? Will that work for everyone? Listen in as we continue to dispel the all-or-nothing viewpoints.

  • Rushing to Lose Weight: Rethinking the Race
    Weight loss is typically seen as an "I need to it happen yesterday" change.
