Episode 2
Ever wonder why those New Year's resolutions seem to crumble faster than Aunt Edna's dry fruitcake? You're not alone. Julie and Catherine are peeling back the curtain on the psychological drama that unfolds every January. We reminisce about holiday feasting—a time when we all become 'human dustbins'—and uncover the science of cravings, revealing how your brain isn't always your ally in the pursuit of health. It's a biological rebellion, not a personality flaw, when your body mounts a coup against post-holiday health kicks. Awareness is your ally in this tale of transformation!
Laughing at our collective self-sabotaging ways, we tackle the critical issue of negative self-talk that typically accompanies diet and exercise regimes. Ever find yourself feeling like you're not measuring up in the grand gym comparison? That's your brain's protective instincts kicking in, not a lack of willpower. We’re spilling the beans on the food industry's role in this narrative and why you might want to say "thank you, next" to those manipulative marketing tactics. By the end of our chat, you'll learn to spot these moments as opportunities for growth, not grounds for guilt.
Finally, we're taking a magnifying glass to the mind's mysterious influence on our food choices. Julie and Catherine share an eye-opening study about how what you believe about your food can actually affect your body's reaction to it—blood sugar levels and all! We unpack the power of internal narratives and invite you to meet 'Nagging Nelly' and 'Scarlet Power,' the voices in your head that could use a bit of direction. It's not about self-fault or blame; it's about steering our minds toward healthier habits that resonate with our deepest values. Strap in for a journey that promises as much self-discovery as it does laughter.

"Four Legs of a Chair": Finding Balance in Hydration, Nutrition, Movement and Sleep

Ever wonder how just a few simple changes to your daily routine could transform your health and vitality? That's exactly what we're unpacking in our latest episode—it's all about the bedrock of self-care: hydration, nutrition, movement, and sleep. Join us as we compare these essentials to the legs of a chair, each one critical to keeping the balance of wellness in our hectic lives. We'll be diving into the subtle ways our bodies signal an SOS when one of these needs isn't met and sharing stories of how we've personally tackled disruptions like work demands and unpredictable family schedules.
Putting theory into practice can be the tricky part, right? Fear not, because we're brimming with actionable advice to weave these wellness warriors into your everyday life. Imagine starting your day energized and staying that way — yes, it's possible! We chat about why reaching for water first thing can kickstart your system and how timing your caffeine can work with your body's natural rhythms instead of against them. Plus, we'll guide you through finding joy in movement and making it an integral, enjoyable part of your daily grind.
And finally, we invite you to kick back with us as we explore our complicated relationship with coffee. We'll discuss how genetics play a role in how our bodies handle caffeine and share insights into alternative ways to channel that energy into non-exercise activity. With our personal anecdotes and maybe a few laughs along the way, we're here to show you that forming new habits doesn't have to be a chore—it’s about making choices that bring out the most fabulous version of you.
