If you asked Ellen Latham twenty years ago where will you be in the next ten years, she
probably would have said, "working at my dream job." But when Ellen was in her early 40s, raising
a child as a single parent and pursuing her career as a fitness instructor, she was suddenly let
go from that dream job. She had to weigh her options: she could either give up or forge a new
path. What started as Ellen’s small cycling classes grew into a thriving fitness movement built
on the idea of accepting your setbacks in order to overcome them: Orangetheory. Ellen’s years
of research, expertise as a fitness instructor, and her own challenges have shaped the
philosophy behind Orangetheory; it’s for everyone, at any level, no matter your ability. On this
episode, Ellen breaks down the science behind every Orangetheory workout, what it takes to be
not just a good but a great trainer, and why anyone, no matter your training goals, should make
fitness a lifestyle.

Dr. Joel Kahn | Food is Medicine

When most people think about nutrition and fitness, they think about burning calories, weight loss, or fueling their body. But what we eat determines so much more than how we look, feel, or what we do at the gym. Our approach to nutrition says a lot about our values, our training and health goals, and the type of life we envision for ourselves. On today’s episode, we sit down with Dr. Joel Kahn, a cardiologist, best-selling author and a proponent of vegan and plant-based diets, who has learned that while nutrition looks different for everyone, finding the right one for you can improve your longevity, performance, sleep, and your own sense of self. Dr. Kahn will debunk some of the science behind the latest fad diets, explain how nutrition can stave off heart disease, and dive deep into the specific plant-based foods that everyone should put on their plate every day.
