What better way to discuss these challenges than with Joanna and Daphnie’s husbands? Guests Matt Healy and Stuart Ashwood talk with Joanna and Daphnie about how being married to TWO PERFECT WOMEN affects their health and how they handle any difficulties that definitely never come up because see above re. being perfect. (JK we actually let them be very honest about their experience ugh.)

Here it is, by popular demand: a whole episode about menstruation and hormones! How can this be a thing that half of the world’s population experiences for decades of their lives and we still don’t reeeeeally understand what’s happening? The patriarchy, that’s how! Daphnie explains what’s really going on and how to take care of your body if you’re a period-having person. Plus, we’re ALL hormone-having people, so Daphnie explains how our hormonal cycles affect us (that’d be you too, gents). But do we really have to exercise when we have our periods? One guess as to what Daphnie says...

We all want to work out more often, but none of us have any time, energy, or ideas. (That sounds harsh, but LET’S BE HONEST!)

Plus, we find out what we should be eating before and after working out in What Your Trainer Eats!

It’s the first week of January. Did you make a resolution? We’re here to trash it!

Here’s to kickstarting sustainable change! Plus, Daphnie does her best Consumer Reports impression in our latest Listener Question.

Bones are weird, right? We don’t think about them much, but they’re what keeps us from being a bunch of empty skin sacks.
