Just One More! With Joanna and Daphnie

You asked for it! This week, Joanna and Daphnie answer questions from listeners, covering everything from bloating to protein powder (with a stop along the way to justify Joanna’s seltzer habit). Plus, we get hungry for steaks in “Best Choice”.

This week, Joanna interviews cookbook author and food advocate Leanne Brown! Leanne tells us how her book Good and Cheap went from NYU thesis to Kickstarter phenomenon with a little help from Reddit. She explains why cooking can be extra stressful for people living at the poverty line and shares some of her favorite tips for eating well on $4 a day. Plus, what do “good” and “cheap” mean, really? The answers will be comforting.

There are so many “super helpful tools” for judging our bodies (BMI, Waist-Hip Ratio, Body Fat Percentage, the list goes on) but sometimes it feels like they’re all designed to make us feel crappy. Daphnie explains what they are, what they actually measure, and how they get misused. Then, she suggests some better ways to keep track of how things are going on your journey to Awesome. Plus, we get to pretend we’re fancy in “What Your Trainer Eats”.

It’s Turkey Lurkey Time! Otherwise known as Food Guilt and Family Stress Time. Joanna and Daphnie break down how can you fully enjoy your Thanksgiving without feeling overly stuffed, or overly guilty. Are mashed potatoes really so bad? Can stuffing come from somewhere other than a box? How can I go for a Turkey Trot when I have 15 houseguests? (Answers: No! Yes! We’ll tell you!) Plus, Daphnie shares her favorite exercise for when you’re traveling. (Originally aired 11/2015)

Take a deep breath: it’s time to talk about our lungs. We know they’re important, but how do they actually work and how can we make them stronger? Are we going to get big, bulky lungs from exercising? (JK) Mostly, what do we have to do so that we won’t be so out of breath when we climb the stairs? Plus, Daphnie goes up against one of her faves in “This is Crazy, Right?”

Skin is super important: it’s the sack that holds all of our insides! It can also be the canary that tells us something isn’t right in the coal mine of our bodies. (Does this metaphor work?) This week, Daphnie tells us how to wash, what to eat, and whether or not to scrub in order to keep our skin attractive and effective. Plus, we talk about minor injuries in “Excuse of the Week”.

To celebrate the upcoming New York City Marathon, we’re joined by multi-marathoner Dana Krashin! Her story takes her from watching the Boston Marathon with her family every year at mile 8.4 to running her first marathon in Boston in 2013, a marathon that we know was unlike any other. Dana’s positivity and love of running will almost convince you that running 26.2 miles sounds fun! Plus, we talk about what gear has stood the test of 9 marathons in “Dana’s Gear Corner”.

(Rerun) It’s wedding season! Whether you’re getting married (like Daphnie) or have a lot of friends who are (like Joanna), weddings can bring up a lot of fitness and nutrition questions. How can we escape the tyranny of the Wedding Industrial Complex? How can we look our best at weddings without doing crazy crash diets? And how can we make sure we’re not “that person at the wedding who was so drunk they fell in the koi pond”? As usual, it’s all about balance. Plus, delicious muffins in “What Your Trainer Eats”.

This time of year, anyone who’s producing #content is posting fall recipes. We’re...also doing that. But this isn’t just seasonal fluff! Daphnie explains the actual health benefits of your favorite fall foods and why they’re not just delicious but also nutritious. So grab a PSL and let’s get cozy! Plus, Daphnie faces her toughest “Best Choice” yet: McDonald’s!

It’s hard to convince people that sleep is just as important to your health as exercise and nutrition, but Daphnie’s on a mission to convince you to #aimfor8 (hours of sleep, that is). This week, we talk about why the body needs sleep and what gets in the way. Then, we solve all our problems with Daphnie’s Unending List of Tips for Getting More and Better Sleep.

It’s our one year anniversary! To celebrate Just One More’s birthday, Daphnie and Joanna take a look at the last year and talk about starting the podcast, our favorite episodes, and what we thought we were getting into. We also talk about the benefits of stopping to take a bird’s eye view of our lives on our journeys to becoming more awesome. Plus, Daphnie spends too much money on candy in “What Your Trainer Eats”. Thanks to all our listeners for making this an incredible first year!

Many injuries can be blamed on bad form, and most physical therapy is just practicing good form so you won’t hurt yourself again. This week, we’re saving you the time and hassle by talking about how to have good form in the first place! Daphnie offers form tips and tricks for your most common strength exercises and goes on Posture Patrol for you runners out there. Plus, we make sure to chew our food 50 times in “This Is Crazy, Right?”

Stress: we’ve all got it, and some of us are pretty proud of ours. It means we’re super successful and important, right? Actually, stress has some pretty negative effects on the body. In this week’s episode, Daphnie explains how our bodies are trying to help us with stress, why it’s actually hurting us, and what we can do to help let go of the stress we create for ourselves. Plus, we do a REALLY FUN PUSH-UP in Daphnie’s Favorite Exercise.

This week, we welcome guest Christy Harrison to the podcast! Christy is a Registered Dietitian, Certified Dietitian Nutritionist, and Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor, which means she’s super qualified to talk to us about the world of eating disorders and disordered eating. We talk about why it’s so hard to get back in touch with our hunger cues, Health at Every Size, and what to do if we think a friend might be going through an eating disorder.

It’s Back to School time! As Daphnie says, “Back to School is the New Years of the fall”, so it’s a great time to set up your routines for the year ahead. In this episode, Joanna and Daphnie talk about school lunch ideas, how to balance your time (for students AND parents), planning your workout schedule for the fall, and Back to the “Office” tips for teachers and staff. Plus, we have our very first Listener Shout Out!
