Sarah is slaying her pink day while Channa owns a full-on “don’t-wanna” mood—and we’re keeping it real about both. Fresh off a mom–daughter adventure in Boston and Salem, Channa recaps the witchy sights, Cape Cod’s dreamy dune-lined beaches, lobster bliss, and… the great TSA Coffee Caper ☕️💥 (yes, a pat-down and a confiscated bag of beans—RIP, Blackcraft Coffee). We laugh through East-vs-West driving quirks, toll road gymnastics, and why Californians consider a 90-minute drive “around the corner.”
We shift into health, hormones, and what’s actually working. Sarah shares why high-fat carnivore stalled her with Hashimoto’s, Type 1 diabetes, and sky-high cortisol—and how swapping to an anti-inflammatory, low-glycemic plan plus strength training is already paying off. Big win: dropping her insulin pump basal from ~1.03 to 0.80 u/hr and using long-acting carbs like berries and butternut squash. We talk bone broth protein over whey for steadier blood sugar, week-one lifting realities (modify those push-ups, park the burpees 🫠), Epsom salt recovery, and the mental game of ignoring the scale while tracking measurements and non-scale victories.
Then it’s body image, confidence, and health: celebrating diverse bodies (hi, VS runway!) while still championing metabolic health and movement. We get honest about “bed rotting,” doom-scroll spirals, and how a simple walk can flip your mood. If you had to choose one: nutrition or exercise? We vote food first for hormone balance and sustainable energy—then stack movement for the win. Permission granted for the occasional “don’t-wanna” day—fuel well, hydrate, and start again tomorrow. One foot in front of the other. 🩷
