The Sad and Buff Show

(FINAL EPISODE) Morning rituals, sales pitches, and the trap of “sacrifice”

In this episode, Shaylin and I talk about our morning routines that may or may not make sense, why “healing your gut” and “healing your hormones” and other sales pitches on social media get under our skin, and why sacrificing for something you don’t even want is not good for your mental health. — Let’s connect!

The Jane and Daria of Bodybuilding

Busting nutrition & fitness myths in 2024… with Kate & Julia

In this episode, I am joined by my two favorite dietitians, Kate Zalewski and Julia Diaz, to bust some BIG nutrition & fitness myths. Some of the questions we dig into: * Can people with one kidney lift weights? * Are carbs bad? * Can you have spinach? * Do hormones impact weight loss? * Do you need protein powders? * What’s the deal with supplements? If you’re concerned about your kidney or thyroid health, you’re going to want to listen. Heck, even if you’re not, this episode is still for you. — Let’s connect!

One kidney, no thyroid... some problems? ... with Amy Moore Plaizier

What are the chances that you’ll meet someone who had the same exact type of cancer as you? Actually, make that the same TWO types of cancer as you?  Probably slim.  But that’s the case for me and Amy Moore Plaizier. Amy and I both fought chromophobe renal cell carcinoma, and we both have BRAF+ papillary thyroid carcinoma. The kicker? We were both diagnosed within the last three years.  Wild. Just wild.  In this episode, I chat with Amy about her journey as a two-time cancer survivor, and how having one kidney and no thyroid has impacted her fitness, her energy, and her mental health. We talk about shouldering uncertainty, unpacking trauma, and dealing with the “wet noodle syndrome.”  What’s the “wet noodle syndrome”? Listen to find out. — Let’s connect!
