Ep 20: Another Q & A with Alice and Jesse!
6 MAR 2023 · Your hosts Alice and Jesse take a week away from their usual format and answer a lot of various questions on this special 20th episode!
- How can parents find an optimal state of health? Proper nutrition? Fuel their bodies to ensure they can have optimal energy for “the grind”.
- Importance of being an example to your kids. (i.e treat your body with respect, no negative talk, sustainable health & not following trends, etc.)
- Fitness as a pathway to longevity and lifespan. It’s not just about “the now” of aesthetics and performance. How do we reach more people? How do we help people get going and integrate fitness as a habit / part of their life? And what benefits does that have?
- Can the movement of “Body Positivity” co-exist with aesthetic goals?
Plus a lightning round with a fun list of questions!
