The Real Reel Podcast

In today's episode of The Real Reel Podcast, I interview registered dietician and health coach, Tamar Samuels. I was able to ask her questions about what it really means to be healthy, how to eat healthy on a budget, what she thinks of these fad diets, and what does she really think about all of those fit teas?! (but really...) We talk openly and candidly about the misconceptions of health and it was great hearing her input on it. Hope this episode helps and is informative!  Health coaching credentialing and certification: https://nbhwc.org/ Misfit Market (cheap from the farm veggies): https://www.misfitsmarket.com/ When to choose organic options: https://www.ewg.org/foodnews/dirty-dozen.php Tamar's website: AllGreatNutrition.com Tamar's Instagram: @allgreatnutrition Where can you find us?

Welcome back to The Real Reel podcast with Natalie Barbu! In today's episode, I interview my two friends- Jason and Dan. I asked you on my Instagram to ask me any questions you had for these guys and you came through with tons of good questions. I had so much fun and laughed- a lot- recording this episode.  We talk about girls making the first move, guys using pick up lines and whether or not they know when they are being creepy (or douchbags!), what are their dealbreakers when it comes to dating, plus a whole lot more. It was an entertaining and lighthearted episode picking their brains and hearing their answers to your questions.  Also, please note- these are some random people's opinions and should not change the way anyone views themselves! Or you shouldn't take these seriously. :) Hope you enjoy the episode!  Where can you find us?  Natalie's IG: @nataliebarbu IG: @therealreelpodcast Private Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2271117656542941/ Show Notes: https://www.therealreelpodcast.com   --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/natalie-barbu/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/natalie-barbu/support
