We all know we should take care of our bodies, but between busy schedules, stress eating, and the siren call of the couch, it's easier said than done. In this episode, we’re diving into healthy lifestyle choices—why self-care isn’t selfish and how taking care of your body doesn’t have to mean following a perfect diet or running marathons. Also, what’s the weirdest thing you’ve ever ordered by the case? Because Todd’s got an answer that might surprise you.
SUMMARY
Taking care of yourself isn’t just about hitting the gym or eating kale—it’s about finding a balance that actually works for you. In this episode, we explore the idea that self-care isn’t selfish, the connection between physical and mental health, and why small, sustainable habits matter more than crash diets or extreme fitness routines.
From Todd’s obsession with Munch Bars to the struggle of avoiding late-night snacking, we’re keeping it real about the everyday challenges of staying healthy. We’ll also share tips on making movement enjoyable (hint: it doesn’t have to involve a treadmill), setting boundaries around stress eating, and how intermittent fasting helped reset our habits.
At the end of the day, you only get one body—unless science has been holding out on us—so let’s talk about how to take care of it without turning into a health-obsessed robot.
