    186. What Does Your Personality Type Have to Do With Your Weight?

    In this episode, we dive into how your personality can impact your weight, habits, and overall health. We break down the four personality types (A, B, C, and D, did you know there were four) and talk about how each one approaches food, exercise, stress, and motivation differently.   We share real-life insights and simple, practical tips to help you work with your personality instead of fighting it, so your health journey feels easier, more aligned, and actually sustainable.

    185. What is Red Light Therapy?

    In this episode, we dive into the fascinating world of red-light therapy, starting with a fun, light-hearted chat about what “red light” usually makes people think of, before shifting into why we’re actually curious about it for our own health and wellness goals. We share our personal experiences withdifferent wellness tools and then break down the science behind red light therapy in a simple way, comparing it to charging your phone, except the battery is your cells. By supporting the mitochondria, red light may help the body repair faster and calm inflammation. Along the way, we share some real-life stories, including a playful red-light challenge involving a daughter that sparked conversations around mood, energy, and even creativity. As we go deeper, we talk through the potential benefits, from skin health and muscle recovery to hair regrowth, and why red light therapy works best when it’s paired with supportive lifestyle habits rather than used as a quick fix. We also cover important safety tips, like protecting your eyes and beingmindful if you have certain medical conditions. Overall, it’s an easy, informative conversation meant to help you decide whether red light therapy might be a helpful addition to your own wellness journey, without the hype or pressure.

    184. Are Your Nerves Overworked?

    In this episode, we dive into what it really means to reset your nervous system and how stress shows up in both our bodies and our minds. We talk about how modern life, constant noise, distractions, and never-ending demands, can keep us stuck in chronic stress, often without even realizing it. We share someof the physical and emotional signs we’ve noticed in ourselves and others, and why a nervous system reset isn’t a one-and-done thing, but more of a slow, ongoing process of unwinding and healing.   We also get into the basics of how the nervous system works, breaking down the sympathetic and parasympathetic systems in a way that actually makes sense. Along the way, we share personal stories and practical, doable tools, like breathing, gentle movement, and mindfulness, that you can try in real life.Overall, this episode is about building awareness, prioritizing self-care, and figuring out what helps you feel more grounded and supported.

    183. Do You Play Games With the Scale?

    In this episode, we dive into the often messy relationship many of us have with the scale. We talk about the emotional and psychological stuff that comes up when we weigh ourselves, sharing our own experiences, routines, and even the little games we play to make sense of the number staring back at us.We remind ourselves (and you) that weight is just one piece of the health puzzle, and that fluctuations are totally normal, whether it’s from what we ate, how hydrated we are, stress, or hormonal changes. We also get into the pressure around body image and how easy it is for the scale to mess with our mindset.   We share some practical ways to deal with scale anxiety, like weighing at the same time, paying attention to other health markers, and learning to see the scale as a tool, not a verdict on your worth. Overall, we encourage taking a more balanced, compassionate approach to health instead of obsessing over one number. We wrap things up by sharing our current health goals and talking about why consistency and healthy habits matter more than perfection. Products Mentioned: Clean People Dryer Sheets

    182. Do You Feel The Blues After The Holidays?

    In this episode, we talk about that weird post-holidayslump—when the celebrations are over, motivation is low, and anxiety seems to creep back in. We share our own experiences with holiday indulgence, meditation, and the financial stress that can linger after the fun ends, along with the science behind why the post-holiday blues are so real. Most importantly, we dive into simple, doable ways to ease back into routine, prioritize self-care, and stay mindful as we transition back to everyday life.

    181. Are You Trying to Fit into Someone Else's Plan?

    In this conversation, we chat about what success and wellness really look like when we stop trying to follow everyone else’s rules. We talk about finding our own rhythm, listening to our bodies, and figuring out what actually works for us, not what we think we should be doing. We share how tracking progress can be useful without turninginto pressure, and how real, lasting change comes from small, realistic habits. We also touch on self-compassion, tuning into body cues, and making choices that line up with our values instead of outside expectations. At the end of the day, this is a reminder to slow down, trust yourself, and remember that there’s no one “right” way to grow. We’re all just figuring it out as we go, and that’s more than okay.

    180. Why is it Hard to Drink Water in the Winter?

    In this conversation, we talk about how staying hydrated in the winter is way harder than it should be, because apparently when it’s cold, our bodies just forget how thirst works. We also remind ourselves not to panic over normal weight fluctuations (because the scale loves drama), and we dig into why boring,consistent healthy habits actually matter more than quick fixes. We nerd out a bit on the science of hydration, including sneaky signs of dehydration and the very rude reality of a dull thirst response. (Yes, your body can be dehydrated and still say, “Nah, I’m fine.”) Along the way, we share creative (and slightly ridiculous) ways to drink more water, and we wrap it up by talking about setting realistic, doable health goals for the new year, because we’re aiming for progress, not a personality transplant. Basically: more water, less panic, better habits, and a lot more grace for ourselves. Products mentioned: Nordic Naturals Algae Omega

    179. Where Are We In Our Journey to Lose Weight?

    In this conversation, we get real about our health and weight-loss journeys, the messy parts, the wins, and everything in between. We talk about tracking progress (even when we don’t want to), mindful eating (yes, including the emotional snacking), and why realistic goals matter way more than perfection.We also dig into how childhood experiences messed with our body image, how hormones seem to have their own agenda, and why consistency is basically the unsexy secret to success. Along the way, we swap notes on apps and tools that help us stay on track and admit that this whole process is just as emotional as it is physical. Bottom line: we’re aiming for healthier, happier lives, not a gold medal in suffering.   Products mentioned: OHgo app
