To our community - Allie and I recorded this episode over 2 weeks ago, at the very beginning of the tragic and blatantly wrong event that happened on May 25th. We were both in a state of shock and had very little time to gather any thoughts in order to speak on this incredibly important issue. This is a confusing and sad time in history, and it was challenging to know what to say or not to say. So much has happened since so we want all of our listeners to know that we both proudly stand with and in support of BIPOC, The Black Lives Matter movement and for justice and equality. Thank you for being here. We hope that the rest of the episode provides some uplifting and education around health & wellness. Love, Chelsea & Allie In this episode we’re covering bloating, SIBO & other bacterial overgrowths + weight loss plateaus driven by underlying root imbalances like stress, boundaries & your relationship with weight, food and exercise.

How are we all holding up?

We wrap up our deeper chat with our manifestations for the future! + fun shows to watch cause let’s face it, we always need that! Enjoy this special episode with us!

Today Chelsea sits down with her soul sister Michelle Shapiro, RD — an incredible powerhouse in the intuitive eating & functional nutrition space who believes in weight-neutrality AND holistic healing. We're talking about the downside of doctors visits (with practitioners who aren’t sensitive to or aware of patients developing disordered eating) & what can happen when they recommend a one-size-fits-all plan just because you’re in a bigger body. Then Chelsea & Michelle dig into the conversation you’ve been waiting for — can you love your body but still want to lose weight? Do diets actually “work”? What happens when you’re not ready? When are you ready? Can you really love your body? Michelle will definitely be back — let us know what other questions or topics you want us to discuss next.

Get ready ladies....this episode is personal, juicy, sexual and oh so good! Today's guest can be thought of a sexual goddess of hormonal balance and energy.

Today Allie & Chelsea answer a listener’s question about painful periods including a range of symptoms from clots to cramps. We dig into everything - including what the root of the issue can be & why we may have challenging cycles in the first place + how to get started with balancing things out like addressing hormones, stress, blood sugar, digestion, diet & labs. Then we cover some tangible recommendations like gentle liver detox through food & lifestyle, digestive support, stress management, mindset + what you can do during your period to feel more comfortable & find relief in the moment.

In this episode Allie is interviewing one of her favorite baby food brands: Serenity Kids. The founders started Serenity Kids because they wanted the best for their baby and didn’t like what they found on the market. Babies need protein and healthy fats to grow their brains and bodies, and no current baby food includes these essential macronutrients. Learn about what it takes to make it in the food-product space, their biggest challenges, wins and everything in between as they built this unique brand for our future leaders. Enjoy this awesome interview!

Today Chelsea sits down with her mic and answers specific questions around creating a healthy relationship with food, your body and yourself. First she digs into making peace with weight gain & buying bigger clothes, by helping you to see that it’s not always negative, wrong & bad - but why maybe it’s actually a really wonderful thing instead, based on what it represents you’re *really* gaining + what you’re letting go of that no longer serves you. Then she talks about how to forgive yourself after overeating and binging - why we’re triggered to do it & how to move through it so you break the pattern. She wraps up the show with self-sabotage and the nitty gritty of why we do it + how to overcome the cycle. Hope you love this episode!

Let’s give our brains a break from the chaos in the world and talk about something we all do - POOP! Shall we? Today we’re answering a great listener question about the ins & outs of constipation. Is it OK to take laxatives & other things to get yourself to go? We break it all down + talk supplements, nutrition & food, exercise, protocols, testing, practitioners, lifestyle support and of course the very real role mindset & emotions play in getting GOING.

So please understand we are certainly taking it seriously, but also wanted to shed light on the fear & panic we are also absorbing and the toll it takes on us, and our immune system. Take care of yourself, but also take care of your mindset <3. Stay safe everyone!!

Have you ever wondered where your lack of self-worth comes from? Why you just can’t quite seem to create *true* confidence from within? Or why you look outwards to food, your body, relationships, and beyond to make you feel better about yourself - but that that doesn’t ultimately make you feel better either? And what about self-love, what even is it, and how do you get there? Today Chelsea interviews a light in the wellness world - Stevie Wright who is a self love coach and breathwork facilitator who walks the walk through her own self-work and inspiring others in a big way. We dig into inner-child work, awareness, resistance, breathwork, listening to your body (& a huge tool for *how*), what perfectionism has taught you & how to love it & let it go, why you will never heal through fear + the power in pain. Stevie believes in empowering you, to empower yourself & we couldn’t love that more. Enjoy this awesome interview!

Today on the show we dig into how to stick to what you believe in and create confidence around your choices with nutrition, lifestyle & how you take care of yourself and your body. Peer pressure & influence from others is a real thing, and especially when you’re just starting out in your health & wellness journey - it can be difficult to stand out, and stand up for yourself. At the end of the day, it’s about making choices you personally feel good about, giving yourself grace to figure out your groove & taking time to do so + focusing on your why, the most important thing behind any decision, habit & choice. Of course we also touch on mindset & discuss the caveat and caution to doing everything *right* - perfectionism, restriction & making sure you allow yourself to be flexible so you can be sustainable + have some fun in your life.
