Best Health & Wellness Podcasts - Fitness, Nutrition & Exercise

A topic that I’m truly passionate about is the introduction of social media and smartphones into all aspects of our lives - changing the way we think, feel and connect with one another. Feel Better Live More Bitesize is my weekly podcast for your mind, body, and heart. Each week I’ll be featuring inspirational stories and practical tips from some of my former guests. Today’s clip is from episode 381 of the podcast with psychiatrist, globally renowned speaker, and best-selling author Dr Anders Hansen. In this clip, he explains how our attention has become one of the most valuable commodities in today’s world, why our devices are designed to keep us hooked, and he shares some simple ways we can begin to take back control and reconnect with what really matters.

Dr. Nick Epley, PhD, is a professor of behavioral science at the University of Chicago and a leading expert on the science of social connection. We discuss how seemingly small daily interactions with strangers (as well as with people we know) can meaningfully improve our mental and physical health. Dr. Epley also explains how to reduce social anxiety using simple and easily accessible science-supported tools. We also discuss the data on assumptions — both the ones we and others make — and why so often those are wrong when it comes to social dynamics. Read the episode show notes at hubermanlab.com.

As she prepares for the Brooklyn Half, Emily's looking back at her first 13.1-mile race in 2008 and the massive health transformation that led her there. Today, Emily discusses the beauty of progress and the reality of "readiness." She's sharing her perspective on why being a beginner is a prerequisite for greatness and how she maintains her fitness routine today—not for a specific time goal, but to feel like her most capable self. Plus, she answers a listener question from a new business owner about how to design a productive schedule and find motivation when you are your own boss.

If the menstrual cycle affects everything from strength to sleep, why are we ignoring it in sport? In this episode of The Food Medic Podcast, Dr Hazel Wallace, a women’s health nutritionist, sits down with researcher Kelly McNulty to discuss the challenges of researching female physiology, the importance of individualised training, and the role of cycle tracking for athletes. The episode covers: How do the menstrual cycle and hormonal contraceptives affect women’s health, athletic performance, and recovery? What challenges exist in researching female physiology and why is more high-quality research needed? Why is individualised training important for women, especially athletes? What is the role of cycle tracking in optimising athletic performance and recovery for women? How can women be empowered to better understand and work with their bodies throughout all stages of life? The episode emphasises the need for more high-quality research, encourages a balanced approach to training, and aims to empower women to better understand and work with their bodies throughout all stages of life. The more you understand your body, the more power you have to train, perform, and live on your own terms.

Episode 117: Hi guys!!! I can’t believe I’m saying that this is the last episode of Wellness Her Way for a bit. I’m pressing pause on the show and in this episode I explain what’s been on my heart lately. I took a trip down memory lane to recap how it all started and all of the amazing things this show has brought into my life. This has been on my heart for a while now and thus was one of the toughest- yet one of my favorite episodes I’ve recorded. I think I’ve been needing a different way to connect with you guys that will still bring you just as much value- so we will still be spending time together on a weekly basis, just on Youtube instead. I can’t wait to cook together, meal prep, workout, and just live daily life together. This is a change I feel like you guys are going to love to! So it’s not goodbye- just carrying everything over to Youtube so I can give you visuals for all the habits/ things I discuss on the podcast. I’m so excited for this next chapter and am beyond grateful for all of you. Until next time!
