Obesity is on the rise in Canada — and it raises important questions about health, self-care, and the daily choices we make. In this episode, Shane and Ryan share candid reflections on the challenges of staying active, the excuses we all use, and how small lifestyle changes can make a big difference.
The conversation moves from national obesity statistics to personal stories about finding routines that stick, highlighting how physical activity doesn’t have to be extreme to be effective. Along the way, they explore what motivates people to get started, why many fall off track, and how to reframe fitness as an act of self-care rather than punishment.
It’s a grounded, relatable discussion that encourages listeners to reflect on their own health and what inspires them to stay moving.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
