The FitSister PodcastIs This Really Ruining My Diet?Greetings listeners! In this Summer Series episode, we explore common food items and habits that people often question regarding their impact on diet. We finally discuss my love for half-and-half in coffee, the nutritional value (or total lack of nutritional value) of cereal, the impact of beverages on calorie intake, and if there is such a thing as too much ice cream in summer time. Overall, we keep coming back to the idea of the importance of understanding our own habits and finding a balance between indulgence and healthy eating.2025-07-2130 min

Moo and I share the details of the article and discuss the frustrating reality the article exposes as well as our hopeful solutions. Then, Moo fields a listener question on weighted vests.
Thank you for listening! If you enjoy ou...2024-12-0249 minThe FitSister PodcastNat’s late-night snacking fix, whole grain versus sourdough versus multigrain but also who cares?Moo is literally “shook” when I tell how I have (temporarily) ended my late-night snacking habit. (And let’s be real people, it was never really “snacking,” it was dessert. Or desserts-- plural). Then we take a listener question on bread-- multigrain? sourdough? whole wheat? To absolutely no one’s surprise, I confess I love white bread with butter. Moo, being the nutrition coach she is, explains to me that it’s not about ditching my indulgences all together. Okay, yes Moo! Pass the butter! (Can I get that on a t-shirt?)

A...2024-11-2538 minThe FitSister PodcastGarage gym update, not your grandpa’s fiber, and filling a spiritual voidIn this episode Moo and I first discuss an important update to my at home workout routine and the role of high intensity interval training/raising your heart rate during a workout/sprint interval training. (There are some people out there who probably disagree with my use of forward slashes in that previous sentence, but I stand by it. Also, that’s part of the conversation! Are these the same or different?) Then I talk with Moo about fiber. She is a big fan of it and I am not getting enough of it-- classic Moo-Nat nutrition situation. Finally, we...2024-11-1844 minThe FitSister Podcastbigtimeadulting says it best, should we just give up, and a podcast rec on menopauseThis week Moo and I talk about the latest messages from social media surrounding women's health and fitness. First, we unpack the hilarious reel from bigtimeadulting. From Pink to Good Morning America, it felt like everyone saw Caitlin Murray’s satire of all of the messages women receive about what they should and should not be doing. Then we talk about the advice of just ignoring all of the advice and “being ourselves”-- but what if we haven’t thought about who we are since our first kid was born? Finally, Moo and I discuss the latest episode from Sci...2024-11-1142 minThe FitSister PodcastNat’s pizza problem, what to eat at a restaurant, and pre-workout meals
I’m not sure about you, but in my life pizza is everywhere. And, let’s be honest, it can be a perfect little satisfying meal. (Also, if you have an airfryer, it is delicious and crunchy even when reheated!) But I am consuming too much pizza and I ask Moo for help. Then, Moo talks about how to make healthier food choices when dining out and I reflect on the fact that I haven’t dined out since 2009. Finally we end with a question on what to eat before a workout. Cold pizza? Just kidding! 2024-11-0541 minThe FitSister PodcastThe existential crisis of birthday treats and weight lifting for beginners and beyond
On this episode we discuss my birthday. You know I love to indulge, but is indulging a form of self care or is it self sabotage? I tell Moo everything I plan to eat on my birthday and we also talk about how “celebrating” doesn’t have to mean indulging. (That sentence makes me feel so old! But also wise! But also boring!) Then we talk about strength training for beginners. Moo’s takes us through simple yet effective exercises to do at home if you’re ready to start building muscle, but you don’t know where to start. We co...2024-10-2836 minThe FitSister PodcastWhat to do when you fall off the wagon, why food as a reward is dangerous, and who am I if I don’t actually compete?First I talk to Moo about what happens when I lose my momentum and find myself falling back into old patterns of indulgence after a few days of weird schedules and not being able to workout. When I lose the routine I have a hard time with motivation and self-control. Then we answer a listener question about using food as a reward. Finally, we talk through a listener question about losing motivation when there isn’t time to train for competitions and how to build our identities around our own versions of health and fitness.2024-10-2137 minThe FitSister PodcastNat’s garage gym routine, lifting weights and walking, and when are we supposed to do all of this again?
In this episode we review Nat’s 33 minute garage gym workout. Moo gives me some high fives and some ways to improve my at-home fitness routine. Then a listener asks about lifting weights and walking as an option for women over 40. I ask Moo about the role of elevated heart rate in our exercise regimens. We end with a conversation about how to find time to workout when we want to be with our kids in the evening and the 5AM morning routine isn’t working for us either.2024-10-1441 minThe FitSister PodcastWhen the boss brings donuts, worshiping at the shrine of supplements, and Moo’s thoughts on creatineOn today’s episode I ask Moo the question I have been asking her for years-- what do I do when the boss brings donuts and I really want a donut, and at the exact same time I also do not want a donut. It’s complicated! Moo and I talk about the differences between healthy eating, intentional eating and mindful eating (which is not what happens with me and donuts). Then Moo fields a question on vitamins, minerals and supplements. We end with Moo’s take on creatine and its role in the world of female strength training and mu...2024-10-0741 minThe FitSister PodcastHealthy to-go lunches, belly fat and weight gain from just being a womanI ask Moo to build me the perfect sandwich for my school lunch. (To-go lunches are a challenge--am I right?!) Then we dive into listener questions about belly fat and weight gain during menopause. Moo tells us her tale of being in the free weight section of the gym in the late 90s--scary stuff! 2024-09-1326 minThe FitSister PodcastEating junk while cooking healthy food, what’s your why, and tracking macros versus counting calories
I confess to Moo that I have a bad habit of snacking on junk food while I cook my healthy dinner. (Sometimes it takes so long!) Then Moo addresses a listener question on motivation. Begrudgingly, I allow her (only because she is my sister!) to take me through an exercise so we can “find my why.” (Insert eye roll emoji). Shockingly enough, I think we make progress. Finally, Moo explains tracking macros versus counting calories. I make sure to stop her when it gets boring. 2024-09-1349 min
The FitSister PodcastBreakfast, the frustration of going up a size, and we're all really tiredOn this inaugural episode of The FitSister Podcast, Moo and I (guys, I call my sister Moo-- I’ll explain later) discuss what I should eat for breakfast. Then we take listener questions about what to do when your underwear is a little too snug, and how can we honestly find time for a workout routine when we are, ya know, doing everything for everyone else all the time.

Total Movie RecallTMR 062 – From Dusk Till Dawn Remember the innocent 90s, when white directors thought they had the N-word pass for some reason? What do you think their “woke” movie would look like? Probably like this, where the N-word is replaced by horrific rape and Mexican jokes. This proto-edgelord movie was looked at as such a good time romp that it was considered the perfect vehicle to transition from the hit network show ER to the big screen. What a simpler time… From Dusk Till Dawn (1996) d. Robert Rodriguez w. Robert Kurtzman (story), Quentin Tarantino (screenplay) Starring...2021-03-151h 49Total Movie RecallTMR 058 – The Princess Bride This week on Total Movie Recall, we take a hard pivot from all the toxic masculinity of weeks past and Steve shows his gentle, romantic side. Somehow, Ryan makes this about his sad sack heartache but in the end, everybody calms down and moves on with a nice mutton, lettuce, and tomato sandwich. The Princess Bride (1987) d. Rob Reiner w. William Goldman Starring: Cary Elwes Mandy Patinkin Robin Wright Chris Sarandon Christopher Guest Wallace Shawn André the Giant Fred Savage P...2021-02-161h 23Total Movie RecallTMR 053 – The Devil's Advocate This week on Total Movie Recall, it’s Steve’s turn to not get it when Ryan forces him to snooze this way through the 1997 hambone, The Devil’s Advocate. This movie has it all -- a grand guignol of sex, violence, operatic depictions of Hell and Satan, Keanu swinging and missing, Pacino putting his blood pressure medication to the test -- and yet, somehow, it’s still boring! Please don’t waste Steve’s time with these faux-provocations. Show him something really controversial, like a basketball game. The Devil's Advocate (1997) d. Taylor Hackford2021-01-101h 39
