Weight inclusive nutrition anyone?
Never ask a doctor for nutrition advice, because most of us don't have a clue what we're talking about. And yet I managed to spend an entire episode talking about it, which shows that I have mastered the art of faking it 'til you make it. Or something like that. It's worth listening to because I make one or two valid points.

I spend quite a bit of time talking about the perimenopause. It turns out people don't know much about it, and most of what they have been told is nonsense. So this episode is dedicated to all the people who are tired of the night sweats and the fatigue and the brain fog. Weight loss isn't going to fix it, but you probably already knew that, didn't you?!

What does "success" look like with Bree-Danielle Wyatt
I recorded this episode with Bree, who goes by @justbreehonest on Instagram, in March 2023. It has taken me this long to get my act together and post it. It's a really interesting conversation between a straight sized fitness professional and a fat person who isn't generally a fan of fitness professionals. Bree is one of the exceptions! Listen in to learn what it means to be a "success story".
