It's always a good time to get your health questions answered, but the turn of a new year is the perfect time to bring up concerns with your physician — as well. Luckily, Dr. Robin Berzin, founder of Parsley Health, is here to answer some of yours. We cover: Can anxiety medication impact my workouts? I've been on ______ medication for a while. How do I know when I should come off of it?  I'm premenopausal. What should I know? Are there preventive things I should be doing as I get older that are good for my health? + more! Plus, Dr. Berzin offers up her highs and lows of 2023 (bank collapse, anyone?), and the great perspective she's bringing along with her into the next 365.

Oh MAN this was fun. Loved the chance to sit back down with Chase Ealey for the third day of our Turning the Page series. We talk about the difficulties that go with "failure," both in and out of sport, and how she's feeling going into this Olympic year. She also shares how she wants to interact with fans and followers in 2024, hoping that they can see her for more than just a World Champion shot put athlete. We also toast to our themes of the year, and Chase gives me a hilarious lesson in millennial terminology because I've clearly been living under a rock.

Les Alfred didn't accomplish any of the goals she set for 2023, and she's entirely at peace with that. Adored the opportunity to sit down with one of my friends, Les, host of The Balanced Black Girl podcast for the second installment of the Turning the Page series. In today's episode, we talk about how to set SMART goals, how to avoid unrealistic expectations and putting too much pressure on ourselves, and the cross-country move that changed Les' life for the better. She also shares her theme of the year, proudest and most difficult moments of 2023, her person of the year (hint: It's not Taylor Swift), and something she hopes to do more of in the next 365.

Season 16, 2024, NEW LOOK! Welcome to the next chapter, Hurdlers! Courtney Dauwalter is often referred to as the goat of ultra running.

In the first installment of 2024's Turning the Page series, she's chatting about the determination it takes not only to show up to do hard things — but keep going when the going gets tough. She also shares her theme of the year, proudest and most difficult moments of 2023, her person of the year (hint: It's not Taylor Swift), and something she hopes to do more of in the next 365.

Within the past year, weight loss drugs like Wegovy and Ozempic have made headlines — positive and negative. Today, I'm having obesity and lipid specialist physician Dr. Spencer Nadolsky, who focuses on exercise and nutrition as medicine, on the show to shed some light on all of the FAQs. What does weight loss medication do in the body, is it safe, who qualifies to take it, what are the side effects or risks, how much they cost, and how can we know what will happen in the long-term. Plus: Why it's important to make environmental modifications if you're interested in long-term weight-loss, whether or not these drugs are part of the picture.

If you were to tell me that I'd be loving being my own boss seven years ago when I got let go from my last job, I don't know if I'd believe you. For today's episode, I'm giving insight into how I got to where I'm at, and then I share seven lessons I've learned in this life chapter — and also answering listener questions like: - What do I do for health insurance? - How did I know that self-employment was for me? - How do I create boundaries and work/life balance? - The helpful tool I use to guide what work I do.
