Zero Fcks Given with Amanda Katz, NASM, Run Coach

from Dear Runner Bod, · host Serena Marie RD

What if the “healthy” habits you’ve been chasing… aren’t actually helping your health? In this episode, I sit down with Amanda Katz to unpack the subtle (and not-so-subtle) ways toxic fitness culture shows up in women’s lives (often disguised as discipline, wellness, or “just taking care of yourself.”) We dive into how behaviors that look healthy on the outside can quietly disconnect you from your body, increase stress, and keep you stuck in cycles of fear and control. We also get into something we don’t talk about enough: how fear shapes the way women approach fitness, food, and their bodies…and how learning to recognize it can change everything. If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing “all the right things” but still don’t feel good in your body… this conversation will hit. In this episode, we cover: How toxic fitness culture hides behind “health” Signs your “healthy habits” may actually be hurting you The role fear plays in food, body image, and performance Why letting go of control can feel terrifying—but necessary What it actually looks like to support your health as a female athlete You can follow Amanda on Instagram @amanda_katzz.

These badass ladies from around the globe get honest about everything from competing, motherhood, and trying to have it all. Get ready for training ideas, gear tips, and a healthy dose of inspiration. Explicit Dear Overthinker The Podcast Ashley Rose Dear Overthinker The Podcast hosted by Ashley Rose will take you on a journey through the life in the mind of an over thinker. Most of us overthink some aspects of our life but some more than others. Ashley discusses how she overthinks everything in life. She talks about how overthinkers can think a little less and put more action behind the do. Each episode will overthink topics from parenting, dating, current social issues or just a good vent. Explicit The X-Files Podcast LSG Media Dean and Josh love the X-Files almost as much as they love (and simultaneously hate, it's complicated) themselves. Be it their observations, jokes, or wild scenarios - one thing is clear - they will make themselves laugh a lot, but don't worry dear listener - they will have you convinced that it's all about you. The greatest crime and irony of this show is that tons of women show up to the live shows on Mixlr, and lots of the reviews suggest that they hate women (likely written by weird men). Subscribe and you'll love it -- or you'll hate it, but it's something that will stick with you no matter how much you wash. Explicit
