We are doing a special MOM SERIES on the podcast! In the next few episodes we will dive into diet culture, social media trends, and all the issues we have with the way foods, supplements, and diets are presented to consumers. First up is our yo-yo dieting episode where we'll talk about the detrimental health effects rollercoaster dieting can have and why you need to STOP dieting! In Jen Is This Healthy, I shed light on go-gurts.
