Does drinking lemon water increase your metabolism? Does intermittent fasting truly help you to lose weight? In the world of influencer marketing and clickbait, we can easily fall into the trap of believing a trend simply because it’s popular, and not actually take the time to do our scientific research on the topic. This week I am joined by the host of the Beauty and the Biotech Beast podcast, Paige Halas, who will help me debunk and UNTWIST some of our favorite fitness trends and myths through the power of scientific research. We love a researcher moment!

Feeling stuck in mediocracy? Letting your lack of knowledge on the French Press get you down? Then this episode is the one for YOU. Today we are getting comfortable with our OWN company and learning how to push past our comfort zone to stop neglecting growth. We're acknowledging the years of accepting our familiarity on a subject without pushing past it. We're tackling the squat rack that took center stage from your POV on the balcony. We're finally going to that fitness class we told ourselves we'd go to for the past four months. If you related to any of the above, this episode is for you.

When I hear the term "BMI," I crawl into the fetal position and hide under a boulder. My hatred for this measurement tool gets unraveled as I prepare to take my personal training certification exam and vent about the TWISTEDNESS of this evil formula. I share in the importance of celebrating your small gym accomplishments, pushing yourself in your workouts, and thank the beauty that is the end of mercury's retrograde.
