Hell & Wellness

Seems like everybody commits to New Year’s Resolutions. But are they worth it and is it healthy to make them? How do resolutions stack up to setting everyday, achievable goals?

And what’s up with Tulum? It’s been a popular wellness destination for people looking to experience everything from massive beach festivals to spiritual awakenings. But why did organizers of a recent multi-day arts fest think it was OK to party unsafely during a global pandemic? And how does Tulum reflect our best or worst behaviors?

Ep 7 // Intermittent Fasting, Runkeeper, & The Marshmallow Test

Feels like everyone is switching between fasting and eating on a regular schedule these days. It’s called intermittent fasting. Is it a good idea? Also, Matt explains his newfound life as a runner and what it’s like to use a leading running app like Runkeeper. And Rob roasts the Marshmallow Test, one of the most famous psychological experiments ever conducted. Does it really measure a child’s ability to delay gratification?
