    Cycle syncing and shark bait OOH HA HA

    Cycle syncing and shark bait OOH HA HA

    We’re bringing you another trending topic in the nutrition and wellness world this week – cycle syncing! This is a recently re-popularized trend where more functionally-minded circles are sharing how you can live, eat, exercise, etc. in line with the four phases of the menstrual cycle. And while it’s refreshing to see more information out there about understanding womens’ cycles, of course people had to take it to an extreme, orthorexic place and try to make buckets of money off of it. Stay tuned to learn more about your cycle, and how to approach cycle syncing in a non-perfectionistic way.

    Managing IBS and stress overload with Kate Scarlata, RD

     Kate Scarlata joins us to talk about managing IBS and stress overload, the gut-brain axis, IBS mimickers, and when to re-examine your gut symptoms with your doctor. What do you do when you feel like you’ve tried everything to manage IBS, and you’re still experiencing symptoms?

    Why millennials can’t love their bodies

    Why millennials can’t love their bodies

    This week we have a body image-centered episode for Valentines’ Day week – Why Millennials can’t love their bodies. We know a lot of millennials can relate to the “oh that’s cool for them, but not for me” to embrace body acceptance and neutrality. We’re digging into the layered impact that diet and wellness culture has set for our generation, and the difficulty of unlearning the limiting beliefs. This is the beginning of a series we’ll be going into over the next few months, so stay tuned!

Amazing podcast

I love this podcast. It has been a game changer for me. I love how casual and down to watch they are in conversation and the content is real and very helpful!

ILikeVeggies ,

Great content without toxic diet culture

I always feel so seen when I listen to this pod. It’s super supportive and affirming and supports health without dieting. Love love love!

Trying to destroy a non binary PIONEER in the fat acceptance movement to look cool. Riding a hate train is wrong too. Not into it.
