Alec and Hilaria talk post-pandemic health and wellness with fitness superstar Jillian Michaels. You know her from NBC's "The Biggest Loser" and her numerous television appearances. She's also a bestselling author and businesswoman, who runs Fitness App and hosts "The Jillian Michaels Show" podcast.

Jillian lays out some eye-opening statistics about the current state of health in America, especially for those who succumbed to COVID-19 in relation to their weight. She also talks about finding motivation in our "why" (the reason that drives us to put ourselves at the top of the list). As we come out of quarantine and begin to enter some normalcy in our lives, this is a great opportunity to put our own personal wellness first—and this episode has plenty of suggestions on finding our "why."
