Wellness girl chat with us as we talk about how freaking hard it is to be a girl trying to accomplish health, wellness, and fitness goals!

Do I do cardio for fat loss? What about intermittent fasting? How do I change my body composition, build muscle, lose fat, and reach my aesthetic goals? I’m struggling to workout…how do I build consistency? We chat about the misconceptions around all of these topics, explain the science behind fat loss, muscle building, and metabolism from a female-specific perspective, and give actionable takeaways for how to reach your health, wellness, and fitness goals for 2025! Listen in!
