In this week's episode, I’m diving into what I’m Reading, Eating, Playing, Obsessing Over, Recommending, and Treating myself to lately. I also break down a recent post from @thecut, titled "How to Stay Hot," which covers how much women are investing in skincare, beauty treatments, and the high cost of maintaining that glow. Plus, I can’t help but indulge in some nostalgia for back-to-school supplies shopping, new clothes, and the magic of Scholastic book fairs. To wrap up, I answer a few listener questions that you won’t want to miss!

Q: Any recommendations on iron supplements? I struggle to know what is worth it to invest in and not filled with crap. On that note, what’s your thoughts on pre and probiotics?

Q: Do you eat seasonally?

Q: Hubs and I eat out 1 day every Weekend. I want to do a fat loss phase, impossible?

Q: Intensity. Everyone asks, “are you pushing hard enough?” I think so. Maybe. I don’t know. What does that look/feel like? In a movement, It think “holy fuck this is too hard.” Then I’m done and I think, “I could’ve done more.” More reps, more weight…maybe. I don’t know.

Q: Why does losing water weight happen initially every time I start tracking and cutting?
