Magan Hendry and Brandi Wigley are calling out the wellness noise cluttering your scroll. From dry brushing and vibration plates to Chick-fil-A justifications and blaming HIIT for hormone chaos—this episode is your wake-up call. With tough love and personal experience, they unpack the viral trends and quick-fix propaganda keeping busy moms from real progress. If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re broken or just burnt out, this one's for you. Tune in for truth bombs, real talk, and a fresh reminder that you don’t need another hack—you need habits that work for your life.

Key takeaways:

1. Don’t Blame the Workout—Blame the Burnout
HIIT isn’t ruining your hormones—burnout, poor recovery, and skipping meals are. When done right, HIIT can support fat loss and hormone health, not sabotage it.

2. Wellness Hacks Aren’t a Shortcut to Results
Dry brushing, CGMs, and vibration plates can’t replace the basics: sleep, protein, strength training, and consistency. If your “routine” is a full-time job, it’s probably a distraction.

3. Chick-fil-A Isn’t the Enemy—But It’s Not the Answer Either
Sure, you can technically hit your macros at the drive-thru, but long-term healing and real energy don’t come in a to-go bag. Healing means zooming out to see the full picture of health.

4. It’s Not Your Hormones, It’s Your Habits
Hormones respond to what you're doing—and what you’re not. High cortisol, low energy, and PCOS flares often reflect lifestyle gaps, not broken biology.

5. You Don’t Need More Time—You Need Better Systems
Meal prep and macro tracking aren’t too hard—they’re just unfamiliar. And guess what? Spending 15 minutes cooking chicken is way easier than feeling miserable in a dressing room.

The Fit and Fizzy podcast is hosted by Magan and Brandi, two moms sharing their experiences, insights, and realistic advice on juggling motherhood. They are doing it while maintaining a healthy lifestyle, finding humor in it all, and enjoying a cocktail (or three) along the way.
