#058 Skin

Skin is super important: it’s the sack that holds all of our insides! It can also be the canary that tells us something isn’t right in the coal mine of our bodies. (Does this metaphor work?) This week, Daphnie tells us how to wash, what to eat, and whether or not to scrub in order to keep our skin attractive and effective. Plus, we talk about minor injuries in “Excuse of the Week”.

Daphnie's getting hitched, and we're rerunning our "Weddings" episode to celebrate!

It’s wedding season! Whether you’re getting married (like Daphnie) or have a lot of friends who are (like Joanna), weddings can bring up a lot of fitness and nutrition questions. How can we escape the tyranny of the Wedding Industrial Complex? How can we look our best at weddings without doing crazy crash diets? And how can we make sure we’re not “that person at the wedding who was so drunk they fell in the koi pond”? As usual, it’s all about balance. Plus, delicious muffins in “What Your Trainer Eats”.

Guilt is a tricky feeling. No one likes it, exactly, but we do it to ourselves all the time. Does this sound familiar? “Ugh, I can’t believe I ate all that pizza, I’m the worst. “I didn’t work out today, what a lazy bum.” “I’ll never lose weight if I keep doing that thing I keep doing!” Today, Daphnie explains how guilt actually gets in the way of our quest to be more awesome, and how dealing with feelings of guilt is one of the first, and more important, steps to a healthy lifestyle.
