On the Season 2 debut of Lost Cultures: Living Legacies , we travel to Bermuda, an Atlantic island whose history spans centuries and continents. Once uninhabited, Bermuda became a vital stop in transatlantic trade, a maritime stronghold, and a cultural crossroads shaped by African, European, Caribbean, and Native American influences. Guests Dr. Kristy Warren and Dr. Edward Harris trace its transformation from an uninhabited island to a strategic outpost shaped by shipwrecks, colonization, the transatlantic slave trade, and the rise and fall of empires. Plus, former Director of Tourism Gary Phillips shares the story of the Gombey tradition, a vibrant performance art rooted in resistance, migration, and cultural fusion. Together, they reveal how Bermuda’s layered past continues to shape its people, culture, and identity today.

The latest research surrounding them and why it may not be showing is the full picture. How much weight you can expect to lose on a GLP-1. What happens when you go off it.

Where my fellow DIY girls at? If you know anything about me, you know that I love a good home improvement project. For the past few summers, I've been doing ongoing maintenance on my deck. Working on things like this always gives me time to let me mind wander, and as I was painting a few weeks ago, I had so many lightbulb moments that I knew I needed to record a podcast episode about it! On this episode we talk about: Why our goals often take way longer to achieve than we think they will, and maybe that's ok? Doing anything well takes wayyyyy longer than a quick fix, but it's so worth it. How strength training prepares you for things in real life outside the gym Why you don't need to stress so much about "good form". Why reaching your goals doesn't always feel the way we think it's going to. How allll of this related to fitness, of course.

I know, fun right? But as we often discover, it's all different flavors of the same shit sandwich. And if we really wanna be healthy, we need to talk about the hard stuff too! Turns out it's not all just organic hemp seeds and kale chips. Ashantis Jones (she/they) is a weight-inclusive Licensed Therapist, Mental Health Coach, NASM Certified Personal Trainer, Group Fitness Instructor, and Educator. She supports individuals seeking mental health + fitness support and businesses seeking to create more efficient and equitable practices.

The fund prioritizes financial support for Black women, but anyone is eligible to request sponsorship. On this episode we talk about: The problem with the new potential surgeon general. Why many wellness influencers say things that seem to make sense on a surface level but don't actually work in practice or have evidence to back them up. How many of the ways we think about health can be rooted in bad things like eugenics, and how it's a slippery slope. Why we need to embrace nuance and let go of black and white thinking when it comes to wellness and public health policy. Why it's important to dig a little deeper and look at the root cause of our health problems as Americans (which is more systemic than we realize. Why we think Americans rely so heavily on processed foods and what our solutions would look like. Why we need to look at the wellness media we're consuming with a more critical eye.

I finally decided to stop rolling my eyes and record an episode about what it takes to get toned arms. Because while I had hoped we were all past this, the amount of questions I've gotten about this over the years, plus the amount of garbage information still being fed to you on the internet made me cave. If you don't need to hear this, I am certain that there is someone in your life who does. Please share this episode with your mom, your best friend, or your client. This episode shares info that might be considered "triggering" to some in the anti-diet community. I'm sharing it anyway, because it feels like the same thing as why offering sex education to teenagers is better than preaching abstinence. Knowledge is power! On this episode we talk about: The surprising amount of times I am told "I don't want to get too muscular, I just wanna get toned." Why there are no "3 best exercises for toned arms". Why you literally have to build muscle if you want to look "toned". The actual exercise science behind what it takes to change your body composition. Why I don't typically recommend obsessing over this for most clients. How much control we actual have over our body composition (some, but not as much as we think.) My take on "calories in/calories out". So many other important things! Join the Kettlebells & Chaos Challenge Work with me Follow me on Instagram Follow me on Bluesky Follow me on Substack…
This episode with Toni Rudd blew my mind and filled in all sorts gaps in my understanding of intuitive eating, and I can't wait to share it with you! Turns out that lack of willpower and food restriction might not be the only reasons you can't seem to stop overeating, and Toni is here to shine a light on it today. Toni Rudd is a UK-registered dietitian and binge eating specialist. She works with people who feel stuck in the cycle of dieting and bingeing, helping them heal their relationship with food and body. Through a compassionate, non-diet approach, Toni supports her clients to let go of food guilt, eat with more ease, and stop obsessing over food. Her work focuses on building consistent, satisfying eating habits and shifting the focus away from control towards self-trust and care. On this episode we talk about: Toni's origin story and how she came to be doing the work she does today. Why dieting and bingeing are two sides of the same coin. Why willpower and discipline might not be the solutions you're looking for. Secret eating, nighttime eating, food shame, falling off the wagon, and other flavors of eating issues that aren't quite binge eating. Some of the surprising things that could lead to binge eating beyond just dieting. Why so many of us know so much about food and nutrition but can't seem to apply it. How content around intuitive eating can trick us into thinking we're doing it, except we're not. What's missing in the current intuitive eating space, and how can we fill those gaps for ourselves and/or our clients. So many other good things!

Julie holds a MS degree in Community Counseling, is a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, and a Certified Eating Disorder Specialist and Supervisor.

Today's episode is just in time for a little spring cleaning and was inspired by a conversation I had with a new client last week. She mentioned that she was concerned that some of her spring clothes from last year might not fit. I suggested that if she wasn't ready to part with them just yet, she might get just a few new items that fit her well and feel good on her right now. The next week she came back and told me that she got a new dress and that she "felt like a human again". WOW. It got me thinking about how we dehumanize ourselves over 5 year old jeans and what a game changer cleaning out your closet can be. On this episode we talk about how to clean out your closet and improve your body image in 10 simple steps.

Chelsea Clarke is a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, Personal Trainer, and owner of Balance Chaos Nutrition + Fitness.

On this episode we talk about: Chelsea's backstory and how she got into the work she's doing today. Her personal experience seeking medical care and what led her to seek out more wholistic wellness options. How Western medicine sometimes fails us AND how alternative medicine options can also be scammy. Red flags to watch out for when it comes to grifty things in wholistic wellness and how to not get scammed. How this stuff gets dismissed by people in our anti-diet community and why we need to approach this stuff with more nuance as providers. How we can prevent disordered eating when using some of these approaches. How to navigate the gray area between both worlds. So many other important things!

Here we are. It's been about 2 weeks since the 2025 political shit show has begun. And I still really can't bring myself to create much in the order of fitness content yet. But what I do wanna talk about, is what I've been talking to my clients about lately. Which is how this constant barrage of outrage news, clickbait, and unprecedented times (to put it lightly) has left us all so burnt out. This affects our health in more than just the ways that seem obvious, like losing your health insurance or having your prescription prices go up. Let's talk about a few of them. On this episode we talk about: Why you might be experiencing a chronic pain flare up or greater pain sensitivity right about now. Why you're feeling so freaking exhausted. Why you might be feeling body image and food fuckery creeping back into your life. The strain that the constant stream of outrageous news is putting on your time and energy. How wealth and health are correllated, and the very real financial concerns a lot of us have. Some glimmers of hope and some small things we can do about it all.

This is a short but needed episode. There are things I need to get off my chest before we can proceed with business as usual. I have spent, probably like most of you, the past week (which felt like a YEAR) in a nearly perpetual state of WTF. I am trying my hardest to channel my word of the year (joy) in little nuggets, wherever I can. Fitness is inherently political. As are bodies, and as is food. I've said this many times before and will over and over again. AND While all this is happening, I also still have people asking me questions like "What are some good alternatives to lunges?" (see Season 3, Episode 13) or "How do I put together a weekly workout schedule when I travel for work?" or "Why did I start weighing myself again when I really don't want to be doing that?" So I'm going to keep talking about that. As soon as next week here, and every damn day on my socials. Well most days. But on this episode we talk about: Meta gone MAGA & other social media shit. The things my clients are still asking me about in spite of the state of America. Who I've been looking to for inspiration for what to do next. How I'm preserving my mental health. Spite joy. Strength as resistance. Why I'm committed to wearing more red lipstick. An uplifting stories about old ladies organizing at a coffee shop. So many other good and fucked things!

Відтворити Пізніше Відтворити Пізніше Списки Подобається ПодобаєтьсяToday's conversation is with one of the most interesting humans I've ever met: my longtime friend Maria Tate! Our personal history goes way back to when we met working with the same Chicago dance company in 2009. I'll let their professional bio speak for itself! Maria recently returned to the US after spending two years with the internationally recognized Phare Ponleu Selpak Association, home of Phare The Cambodian Circus. During their time in Cambodia Maria directed, produced and choreographed a world premiere circus for Phare, toured Cambodia with Circo Inzir, led a tour and performed with Spark! Circus in Thailand, and served on the board of Caravan Circus Network based in Brussels, Belgium. Maria is a member of the Professional Training Program at Aloft Circus Arts, where they also coach kids classes. Once an elementary music teacher, Maria has been teaching music, dance, circus and theatre to kids since they were 13 and assisted with their little sister's ballet class, dressed up as a baby elephant. Maria's other skills include clowning, choreography, opera, ballet, contemporary dance and reading too way many books at the same time. Maria also REALLY loves tacos.

Christina is back with another crossover/collab episode after a long hiatus! I wanted to share a convo that I've been having a lot behind the scenes: what happens when you get bored with consuming all the anti-diet content out there? You just BE. On this episode we talk about: How hard it can be to live your life and truly embody anti-diet culture when you have to perform it on the internet as a part of your business. The full circle journey of going from diet culture, to anti-diet, to incorporating what you've learned into other areas of your life as a whole human. All the random things we've both been into lately. The parallels between different kinds of creative expression and having an intuitive movement practice. So many other deep AND frivolous things!

This episode is a bit of an updated repeat! I'm sharing my favorite journal prompts and reflection questions for when you're over the "new year new me" BS, but are bored by the idea of staying stagnant. These are the prompts: What went well this year? What didn't? With that in mind, what's repeatable? What are you already doing well in some areas of your life that could be applied to others? How do you want to feel this year? List a few emotions/sensations/states of being. What behaviors would help you feel those things more often? What do you need MORE of in your life? What do you want LESS of or not at all? How might saying "no" to some things make space for more "yes" to the things that really light you up? Are you following any arbitrary rules that are wasting your time and energy? How might letting go of rules that don't make sense for you make your life easier? Dream a little. Finish the sentence with the most outlandish and wonderful ideas you have for yourself and your life. Do it as many times as you can with no regard for logistics. Wouldn’t it be cool if: What have you said you were going to do for the past few years that you just didn’t? Why not? How would it feel to scratch that item off your “to do” list permanently? OR what would you need to change make it happen? Work with me Follow & tag me on Instagram…

You're gonna love this one! On this episode we talk about: All the things that are in & out in my little corner of the world. What you can expect around here in 2025!

Lunges. Probably one of the most hated exercises, second only to burpees. I have solutions for you! On this episode we talk about: Common reasons people hate lunges.

This episode is a bit of a crossover episode--a sneak peek at something I shared with my clients on my private podcast (yes I have one of those for my clients!) the other day. Today I'm letting you in on the habits and qualities of my most successful clients. On this episode we talk about: Defining "success". What does this even mean for each of us? The value of being resourceful and scrappy. Why the way we view and bounce back from failure is more important than how often we fail. Passively consuming content vs. actively implementing it. Why I want you to reach out when you're struggling. The ever important reminder that progress isn't linear. Why small actions over a long period of time matter. The importance of self-awareness. Being more curious than judgmental. Scope of practice for trainers! The value of being coachable. Changing your opinion when presented with new information. Problems (and good things!) about program hopping. Why I want my clients to befriend each other. Advocating for yourself and asking for what you need. Why I LOVE when my clients question my choices for their workouts. Going DEEP into this work. So many other good things! Work with me Follow & tag me on Instagram…
