Hosted by Carolyn Viggh and Laura Girard · health · EN-US
Carolyn and Laura combine girl talk and critical analysis to look at fitness media and trends through an anti-diet lens. They help listeners develop their fitness literacy to become smarter consumers of the fitness industry (while still having fun in the gym and on the internet). Think of it like getting advice from your big sister's friends but instead of dating and fashion they teach you how to not get scammed by the fitness industry's latest snake oil salesman. New episodes every Thursday. Subscribe on Patreon to support the show!
