Chinae Alexander (@chinaealexander) has long been one of my favorite inspirational accounts to follow on Instagram (she also has an amazing podcast, called Press Send). She’s incredibly honest, with unapologetic pictures of things like crotch sweat and arm fat, and insightful, with an ability to find the story and wisdom in everything from an interaction with an Uber driver to her unique Texas upbringing. This conversation represents some of my favorite elements of the Healthier Together podcast—a casual, frank conversation about everything from religion to anxiety to weight loss to pursuing your passion and how that should fit in with earning money. I also grilled Chinae about where she gets her incredible self-confidence, and came away with insights that have changed my life since.Enjoy!PS: Healthier Together is officially a number one best-seller!

On this special live episode of the Healthier Together podcast, recorded from the LA stop of my book tour, I sat down with two of my favorite women, Sophie Jaffe (@sophie.jaffe) and Courtney Swan (@realfoodology) to talk about “things you’re not supposed to talk about.” We all bonded over having zero filter, so this is an incredibly candid discussion about money (including how we make our money and lots of hard numbers!), sex (definitely don’t listen to this part in the car with kids!), and a super real, raw look at body image.I had a bit of a vulnerability hangover after recording this one, but the content is so good that I couldn’t not share it. I hope you feel like you’re with your most open girlfriends, breaking down the barriers of shame that have made women feel not good enough for centuries.PS: Healthier Together is officially a number one best-seller!

The mega-popular host of Refinery29’s Try Living With Lucie series also has her own popular YouTube channel and a bright, colorful Instagram account with hundreds of thousands of followers. None of this was just handed to her, though—Lucie has been hustling since she was young, creating and producing video content long before she was paid for it.In this episode, she breaks down specific actionable tips for getting your dream career (no matter what it is). We also get into the nitty gritty of growing your Instagram, including how often to post, what type of content does well, and how to edit photos—even if you’re not an influencer or an aspiring one, seeing the behind the scenes of what goes into influencer life is absolutely fascinating. Lucie shares how she got her dream job at Refinery29, and then we get into mentorship, including a crazy story about Matt Lauer that you won’t want to miss.We also touch on Lucie’s own health journey—she had her gallbladder removed (and the reason why is connected to birth control, which is fascinating) and is a huge advocate for Ayurveda and other practices.This is a great episode if you have a dream and want to make it real, or if you just want to be inspired by Lucie’s wisdom and infectious joy.Enjoy!This episode is brought to you by ButcherBox, a brand new sponsor that I’m so excited to have on board.

Welcome to a very special episode of the Healthier Together podcast—the Healthier Together book launch LIVE panel. As many of you lovely humans know, I just released my cookbook, also called Healthier Together (and it’s already a number one best seller, thanks to all of your amazing support!).This episode was recorded live at the Healthier Together book launch event, and I think you might like it even more than a traditional episode because you get two amazing guests, and way more of my personal perspective on health, food, and life.My guests are two of my dear friends in the food world: Serena Wolf and Ali Maffucci. You might remember Ali from Episode 8 of the podcast, where she shares her mom’s crazy kidnapping story and how it changed her outlook on life (if you haven’t listened yet, definitely do so!). Ali’s a phenomenal businesswoman—she’s a best-selling author of three cookbooks, the woman behind the Inspiralized brand, and the Inspiralizer, and an amazing mom to her cute son, Luca, on top of all that. I love Ali’s warmth and wisdom, and she has such an amazing positive perspective on food and life that I’m excited to share with you all.Serena is the woman behind the best-selling Dude Diet cookbook, and the amazing site, domesticate-me.com. We’ve bonded over our shared anxiety, but also because she’s truly one of the funniest people I know. Honestly, she kind of bugged me on the panel because she kept saying exactly what I was going to say before I said it—that’s how aligned our life perspectives are.In this episode, we get into healthy eating, chatting about what’s actually the healthiest diet, the food advice that’s total BS, the one food I use to conquer my sweet tooth, and more. We also get into other wellness practices (CBD, how to motivate yourself to workout, adaptogens, and more). Then we get into the “together” element of the book, talking about how to make friends as an adult, how to get your partner to eat healthy when they REALLY don’t want to, how to bond and connect with your partner in the kitchen and out of it, and more.If you’re into healthy eating, healthy living, optimizing relationships, or just living your best life in a way that isn’t painful, annoying, or restrictive, you’re gonna love this episode!PS: You can get your copy of Healthier Together right here or at lizmoody.com/cookbook. Please keep sending me your creations on Instagram—they make me so happy!Enjoy!Healthier Together cover art by Zack. Healthier Together music by Alex Ruimy.

Sahara Rose (@iamsahararose) is one of the world’s leading Ayurveda experts, but there’s so much more to her story than that. The daughter of immigrants, Sahara had to risk losing it all to find her life path—and while it was (obviously) eventually worth it, it wasn’t an easy journey. Now, Sahara is the best-selling author of The Idiot’s Guide to Ayurveda and Eat Feel Fresh (both of which have a forward from Deepak Chopra—a crazy story that she shares in this episode).We sat down in Sahara’s gorgeous apartment to talk about how she followed her calling, even when her parents didn’t approve. We talk about the health crises that lead her to Ayurveda, including losing her period completely, and how Ayurveda helped her heal. I also make her answer all the nitty gritty questions I’ve ever had about the validity of Ayurveda—what’s worth applying to your life, what’s BS, and what should be tweaked a bit for the modern world. Sahara is a master female entrepreneur, so we also get into the nuts and bolts of building your own brand, including how she grew her following and what parts of her business really make her money. Sahara is a mover and shaker who’s changing the world—and she’s so so open about everything from her personal life to her finances, which you all know I love.I’m giving away a copy of Sahara’s new cookbook, Eat Feel Fresh, over my Instagram—enter to win on @lizmoody.PS: Wanna come to my book launch in NYC?

I literally cook with their products daily—the cassava grain free tortillas are my absolute favorites; they have a great chew and don’t break apart when you roll or fold them. I also LOVE the Habanero Hot Sauce, which isn’t too spicy but packs in a robust flavor that elevates whatever dish you use it on.

Kathryn Budig (@kathrynbudig) & Kate Fagan (@katefagan3) are a superstar couple. Kathryn made her names as a internationally renowned yogi and still teaches on Glo.com. She’s also written two books, including Aim True, which contains my favorite healthy spaghettios recipe in the world. Now, she’s moved into designing performance wear with her collection with Kira Grace (the slashed leggings are the best). Kate Fagan spent years as an ESPN host, and wrote the NYTimes best-selling book What Made Maddy Run. Kate & Kathryn host the Free Cookies podcast together.We sat down in Kate & Kathryn’s beautifully decorated Charleston home to get intimate about so many things (I LOVE how open these two are). We get into the nitty gritty of success—both Kate and Kathryn found it, and then reevaluated what it meant in their lives, coming to conclusions I found fascinating and really really inspiring. We also share some real talk about sex (including defining sex in a new way), and they share their love story, and how they met. We talk about money, and what Kate learned about money from her dad (I was shook, truly). Finally, Kate shares the 5 wellness practices that changed Kathryn’s life the most. It’s a really fun, loose conversation that veers from digital minimalism to orgasms and back again, and I love it—and I hope you guys do too.I’m giving away a copy of Kate’s book and Kathryn’s book over my Instagram—enter to win on @lizmoody.PS: Wanna come hang out with me in Austin this weekend at The Good Fest or in NYC for my book launch?

Courtney Swan (@realfoodology) has what appears to be a dream life: on Instagram, she’s constantly popping up in different awe-inspiring locations around the world as she tours with pop star Tove Lo. In this episode, she opens up about the secrets to her success and self-actualization, from what she wishes everyone knew about therapy to how she overcame her debilitating anxiety (I got her to share her exact supplement routine!). She also shares a few genius tricks she employed at the beginning of her career to become the successful integrative nutritionist/influencer/rock-and-roll manager/label-defying bad ass that she is today.Courtney is an incredibly cool women—one of those women that empowers other women and actually roots for their success. We recorded this episode sitting on her couch in LA, and it quickly got very girl-talky. We got into the crazy story of how her copper IUD made her incredibly sick, and veer from there into the health benefits of masturbation and the upsides of condoms.

We get into how her mother’s alcoholism shaped the way she looked at the world, why she dropped out of college, and how her views on money have influenced her decisions.We also get into the love stuff—her and her husband, AJ, are the definition of #couplegoals, but in this episode, we get into some of the tougher stuff that goes on in relationships, and how they work through those moments successfully. We talk about her eating disorder, AJ’s impact on her relationship with food, and how she views food and wellness now.Finally, we get into what being an influencer is actually like—including the things you don’t see, behind the scenes. Jeannette is truly a what-you-see is what-you-get person; she’s one of the loveliest, most radiant, most authentic humans I’ve had the pleasure of sitting down with, and I think, listening to this episode, you’ll feel that warmth.Enjoy!This podcast is brought to you by Siete Foods, one of my favorite brands in the country today. They make better-for-you Mexican American food, including drool-worthy grain free chips, grain free tortillas, cashew queso, and hot sauces.
