Weight What?
181. Are You Trying to Fit into Someone Else's Plan?

In this conversation, we chat about what success and wellness really look like when we stop trying to follow everyone else’s rules. We talk about finding our own rhythm, listening to our bodies, and figuring out what actually works for us, not what we think we should be doing.

We share how tracking progress can be useful without turninginto pressure, and how real, lasting change comes from small, realistic habits. We also touch on self-compassion, tuning into body cues, and making choices that line up with our values instead of outside expectations.

At the end of the day, this is a reminder to slow down, trust yourself, and remember that there’s no one “right” way to grow. We’re all just figuring it out as we go, and that’s more than okay.

180. Why is it Hard to Drink Water in the Winter?

In this conversation, we talk about how staying hydrated in the winter is way harder than it should be, because apparently when it’s cold, our bodies just forget how thirst works. We also remind ourselves not to panic over normal weight fluctuations (because the scale loves drama), and we dig into why boring,consistent healthy habits actually matter more than quick fixes.


We nerd out a bit on the science of hydration, including sneaky signs of dehydration and the very rude reality of a dull thirst response. (Yes, your body can be dehydrated and still say, “Nah, I’m fine.”)


Along the way, we share creative (and slightly ridiculous) ways to drink more water, and we wrap it up by talking about setting realistic, doable health goals for the new year, because we’re aiming for progress, not a personality transplant.

Basically: more water, less panic, better habits, and a lot more grace for ourselves.

179. Where Are We In Our Journey to Lose Weight?

In this conversation, we get real about our health and weight-loss journeys, the messy parts, the wins, and everything in between. We talk about tracking progress (even when we don’t want to), mindful eating (yes, including the emotional snacking), and why realistic goals matter way more than perfection.We also dig into how childhood experiences messed with our body image, how hormones seem to have their own agenda, and why consistency is basically the unsexy secret to success. Along the way, we swap notes on apps and tools that help us stay on track and admit that this whole process is just as emotional as it is physical. Bottom line: we’re aiming for healthier, happier lives, not a gold medal in suffering.

178. Should We Call Our Food Good or Bad?

In this episode, we have our first fight as discuss whether it is ok to label food good or bad. We dive into the complicated habit of labeling foods as “good” or “bad” and how that language affects the way we eat and feel. We explore what really drives our food choices and why sometimes we need to set boundaries. We talk about how guilt and morality can sneak into eating habits, why clearer and kinder language around food matters. Do intentions matter or just the words?

Ultimately, we agree that this is a more complicated issue that it seems.

177. Should You Hire Someone to Help With Your Nutrition?

Leah asks Kamna all about her a three-month nutrition coaching journey—messy, motivating, and full of “aha” moments. We unpack the ups and downs of finding the right nutritionist,navigating an elimination diet, and realizing that food changes are never just about food. Emotional support turned out to be just as crucial as nutritional advice, helping us stay grounded when things felt overwhelming.

Kamna also reflects on what these months have taught her:how consistency beats perfection, how personalized guidance makes all the difference, and how listening to your body is a skill you keep building. And now, with clearer goals and a stronger sense of direction, we’re setting the stage for what’s next creating ,a truly personalized plan that supports long-term health, confidence, and wellness.

176. What Is Your Body Trying to Tell You?

In this chat, we dive into the world of food sensitivities withChrista Biegler, RD. She is an award-winning dietitian and root-cause nutritionist, and the owner of Less Stressed Life Nutrition. She helps people resolve food sensitivities, inflammation, and eczema without unnecessary restriction, endless supplementation, or costly testing. She lives with her unicyclinghusband & kids in the Midwest.

We explore the root causes, gut health, and why it's crucial to look beyond just treating symptoms.

We talk about how symptoms show up and they are usually a sign of a deeper problem. Food eliminations, and medicines can alleviate symptoms, but they aren’t really solving the issue.

We go through our own issues as a way to show how there might be a deeper cause. And the results are really surprising.

174. Thanksgiving: A Time for Family or Frenzy?

We spent this conversation chatting all things Thanksgiving, the cozy parts, the chaotic parts, and everything in between. We talked about what it really feels like to host (hello, mild panic), the stress of planning every tiny detail, and the warm fuzzies that come from having everyone together under one roof.

We also got into the fun stuff: setting little intentions for yourself, keeping an eye on how much you’re nibbling, and maybe even starting a new tradition or two. And of course, we shared some gentle tips for having a healthier holiday, from tracking your steps to eating mindfully to navigating those classic family dynamics with a bit more grace (and maybe a deep breath).

Overall, it was all about making Thanksgiving feelgood, not just look good, cozy, intentional, and a little more “you.”
