Wellness Myths

The long-awaited, many times requested episode has arrived... BMI! This one is jam-packed with research about weight that is going to absolutely blow your mind. The girls are here to answer what BMI *actually* is, address weight stigma in healthcare, and discuss the meaning of the Health at Every Size movement. If you’ve ever been told you need to lose weight by a doctor, if you’ve ever felt less than because of the size of your body, if you think a larger body inherently means an unhealthy body... this one is for you. We understand this topic can be controversial and encourage you to listen with an open mind and heart.

Please note that this episode was previously released on April 28th, 2021.

Y'ALL. Herbalife is something that has somehow escaped our radar of wellness myths until right now. This one is especially unique because you likely know someone who has been affected by/the victim of Herbalife Nutrition since it's a popular MLM.

This episode will explore the supplements + powders, legal action, and sketchy science behind Herbalife Nutrition.  The girls will teach you what to look out for in this pyramid scheme, from  "fat burning" supplements and ambiguous protein powders. Wondering if these magic pills are really magic? Listen in to find out!
