KaijaVP ,

Great information, lately not enough content.

I have listened to all the episodes and have been intermittent fasting for four years. It has become a lifestyle. I like that they introduce new products and hacks. The only drawback to the podcast is that lately there is a lot more chit chat and sometimes only a few minutes of actual IF issues/responding to questions.

Low carb 78 ,

Sales and Chit Chat

I used to look forward to new episodes but lately 50% of the entire episode is dedicated to sales commercials and personal chit chat and very little research and facts.

Kick less ,

A former podcast favorite

I used to listen to every episode and look forward to each one. Melanie and Vanessa should make a great team. There is way too much chatting about aimless topics now. This podcast was both entertaining and informative in its fresh approach in the past with its various cohosts, now it’s just not. Too much aimless chit chat coupled with many many advertisements . I am not looking forward to more of the same. Rarely listen now.
