| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome back or welcome for the very first time if it's your first time checking out the podcast. |
| 0:06.6 | I'm so glad that you're here today. We have a good one. I'm actually re-releasing an episode that I did with my friend, |
| 0:13.2 | Leah Harvey. Leah and I have been friends for about six years and she is just such a gem. She's just one of the real ones, you know? So the reason why I |
| 0:24.6 | wanted to repost this or reshare this episode from many, many, many moons ago is because |
| 0:31.5 | January is one of those months where we all like double down on all of our efforts and I know that there have been times |
| 0:39.4 | when I'm tracking or working out and just feeling miserable over the whole process. |
| 0:45.1 | Like I've kind of lost touch with why I'm doing it and the joy has been sucked out of my life |

| 1:22.7 | her story is to the stories that I hear many of you chatting about, like chronic under-eating, |
| 1:28.7 | over-exercising, fear of carbs, birth control, stress, and then just like a slow unraveling |
| 1:36.3 | of hormones, energy, metabolism, and eventually your relationship with food. |
| 1:41.2 | And I think a lot of us get there when we enter into our 40s, 50s, |
| 1:46.3 | we've had decades of trying to manipulate our body to our goals. And it can be all consuming, |
| 1:53.0 | where it almost feels like we're drowning, but we're functioning. Do you know what I'm saying? |
| 1:58.0 | What I love about this conversation is that it doesn't just villainize |
| 2:02.1 | one diet. It doesn't shame keto or carbs or carnivore or even tracking. Instead, it just asks a much |
| 2:10.8 | more important question. And that's like, is this actually working for your body? Right now, is this working for you and lea shares how |
