**Warning** This episode contains talk about mental health, eating disorders, and body image.**Hey Nerdles! There has been a huge fuss lately about a certain movie (ahem..Wicked) and the bodies of its stars. Instead of focusing on the movie and the messages within, we are once again talking about the bodies of women.

Happy Friday Nerdles! This week we talk about dietizing everything in your life - from your morning coffee and protein shake, to low fat & low calorie hacks, to low cottage everything - diet culture is once again ramping up with the holiday season in full effect.

10k Steps. Often see as the gold standard for weight loss and fitness goals, but there's a caveat: Where your steps come from, matters. Many people have active jobs such as nurses, teachers, or manufacturing jobs - and that's great, but it doesn't replace the need to still do intentional cardio and strength training. This week, we dive into why!We also dive into a question Beth received about "only" losing a half of a pound every week and why it's your mindset and expectations that are needing to change, not the scale.Join our Patreon for monthly workouts, challenges...

Your body doesn’t have to look a certain way to be fit. In this episode, Matt and Beth call out body shaming in fitness culture and discuss how fitness doesn't have a 'look'. The reality is - you can be healthy in a larger body. You can be healthy in a smaller body. You also be unhealthy in both a larger and smaller body - the way you look doesn't determine your health and it certainly doesn't determine your fitness and knowledge.Learn how to separate health from appearance, redefine what being “fit” really means, and protect your mental peace...

Peanut butter isn’t protein, “fitness to say yes” is the goal, and post-goal blues are real! This week we unpack why awareness beats labels, how to be movable enough to say yes to hikes, runs, and life, and Matt’s 25K fueling lessons (Tailwind + gels, RIP socks).

In today’s episode, we tackle one of the most misunderstood truths in health and fitness: just because something is simple, doesn’t mean it’s easy. From the basics of nutrition and movement to the mental game of consistency, we unpack why people struggle with doing the boring basic things and keep abandoning their goals for the smallest inconvenience - and what to do about it.We also dive into the power of saying no, the guilt that shows up when you start prioritizing yourself, and how training for life (not just a finish line) demands a different kind of min...

Microdosing. Discount codes. Diet culture rebranded as self-care.
In this episode, we unpack the latest "wellness" trend flooding your feed: microdosing GLP-1 medications like semaglutide and tirzepatide , and the influencers cashing in on it.
GLP-1s were originally developed for diabetes and obesity, but now they’re being sold as “longevity hacks,” and “tools for metabolic optimization”, often through affiliate links, telehealth loopholes, and wellness influencers promising everything but the moon.
But here's the truth: this isn’t health care. It’s diet culture with a prescription pad and a commission check.We dive deep into:The rise...

Are you being honest with yourself? This is a question that can make us uncomfortable. Is it because in one way or another, we know there are some things we are not being completely honest with ourselves? Maybe it's a bite, lick, and taste here or there that goes untracked. Or the 1-2 glasses of wine that are actually more like 3-4. Going to the drive thru instead of preparing food at home.That is what the focus of our talk is this week. It's short, sweet, and to the point. Tune in for a great discussion, but be ready...

Do you have a victim mentality or survivor mentality? The main difference between a victim mentality and a survivor mentality is that a victim mentality focuses on the past and a sense of powerlessness, while a survivor mentality focuses on the future and a sense of personal responsibility. It's been said that telling stories where you are the perpetual victim keeps you from healing and moving forward. The answer, then, is being radically honest with yourself and accepting responsibility for your healing. This past weekend we hosted our meet n greet in Shingleton, MI! We had an incredible turnout as 22 p...
