S1E17: Holiday Special - Misconception of Diets and How to Enjoy the Holidays Guilt-free

S1E17: Holiday Special - Misconception of Diets and How to Enjoy the Holidays Guilt-free

Holidays are upon us and in this episode, we wanted to focus on several topics with regard to health and fitness. Louisa and I have both been subject to the social pressure of having to look a certain way and believe holidays give way to much criticism, destructive ideologies, and sometimes even self-hate. What I mean by this is that when trying to be healthy and stay fit we might try to go to extremes and forget to enjoy what the holidays are all about. Family, friends, and yes, food.

In this episode, we talk about how we each struggled with holidays in the past, and how we see and live them now, plus, a few tips for feeling better before, during, and after big family meals without restricting in any way.

S1E12: Andy Pujol - Yoga Instructor Andy and Founder Louisa Share their Keto Journey to Health and Self Love

S1E12: Andy Pujol - Yoga Instructor Andy and Founder Louisa Share their Keto Journey to Health and Self Love

Andy Pujol is a yoga teacher and a keto and low-carb recipe creator. We met Andy through Instagram about 2 years ago and have been collaborating ever since. Andy had recently started keto for the same reason Louisa did, they both have PCOS or polycystic ovarian syndrome. This meant they shared a lot in common, one of those things is being passionate about healthy keto foods and specifically, chocolate.

Since then we have collaborated in creating recipes, ebooks, and events together. So, naturally, we wanted to invite her to a podcast so she and Louisa could share their keto journey as well as what inspired them to start their company and studio.

And that’s exactly what this podcast is about. 2 different journeys, but the same approach and appreciation toward self-love and growth.

Dr. Nicole Huffman is a naturopathic doctor with a passion for finding the root cause of her patients’ dis-ease.

She is not that interested in masking symptoms with medication but wants to truly understand what’s going on underneath the issue and imbalance in the body.
