Ashley Palin

Hi friends! How are you?? I have a new podcast episode up today with an important topic: nasal breathing and tongue posture. This is a world that I stumbled upon accidentally a couple of years ago, when I was wondering why tongue posture improves facial posture. I went down a rabbit hole and started to learn about how tongue posture impacts our facial development, why it’s important to breathe through our nose, and how our tongue posture and breathing habits can affect so many systems in the body. This information is starting to become more well-known, and I’m so thankful for experts like A sharing their knowledge on this subject. I love following her Instagram and have learned a lot from her, so I was thrilled when she said she’d join me on the podcast. 132: Tongue posture and nasal breathing with Ashley Palin, The Tongue Therapist Here’s what we talk about in today’s episode: - Mouth breathing! Why should we pay attention to nasal breathing? Why is it important? - Ideal tongue posture - what does it look like? - Mouth taping. Should we do it? What about if we have a deviated septum? - Do you think it's worth getting deviated septums, tongue ties, and lip ties corrected as adults? - How do we model good tongue posture for our kids and do you think it's worth seeking out help when they're young? and so.much.more. Here’s a bit more about Ashley: Ashley is a registered dental hygienist who, after discovering her own issues with mouth breathing and oral-ties, pivoted to become a myofunctional therapist and help others with the same issues. She’s done additional trainings through The Buteyko Clinic, MyoMethod, Tongue-Tied Academy and more. She helps people to breathe, sleep, and feel better by correcting their oral function, tongue posture, and breathing habits.  You can  and check out  (she also takes 1:1 virtual clients if you’re looking for help!).  More resources from this episode:  I’m still obsessed with  - right now they’re having a Mother’s Day promo and you can use FITNESSISTA20 for 20% off!

132: Tongue posture and nasal breathing with Ashley Palin, The Tongue Therapist

Hi friends! I’ve got a new podcast episode up for ya.  For today’s post, I wanted to talk about a few weight loss strategies that have nothing to do with calories or macros. I think it’s so common to hear, “calories in vs. calories out” but there are so many other strategies and things to consider that can impact our goals.  Disclaimer: this is not medical advice and not intended to treat, prevent, cure, or diagnose any medical conditions. Talk to a doctor or your practitioner for individual concerns.   Also, this is my friendly personal trainer reminder to NOT focus on weight as much as body composition. Focus on the variables you can’t SEE: how do you feel? Is your schedule realistic for you? Is this something you can maintain? What’s your performance and energy like? Immune system function? Hormone function? These are all indicators of a happy body that a scale is unable to measure.  131: 5 things to support healthy weight loss (that have nothing to do with calories or macros) Here’s what I talk about in this episode: - Why the topic of weight loss can be taboo, finding your body’s set point, and why body composition is more important than weight - 5 things to support your healthy weight loss goals (and health in general) - How to set up your plate - Adding more daily steps - How alcohol affects weight loss (or weight loss resistance) and so much more! The digestive enzymes I love are from  (they are the probiotics; use XOGINAH) and  (use FITNESSISTA) More resources from this episode:  I’ve been loving Athletic Greens!  gets you 5 free travel packs and a year’s supply of Vitamin D3/K2.

During his own weight loss journey, Charles dug deep, figuring out why he chose to find solace in food and make himself a victim, rather than live life with the hand that he’d been dealt. Learning to take the emotion out of food pushed Charles into a new way of living.  Connect with Charles on  and  Resources from this episode: The weather is cooling down, and I’m still obsessed with  It feels even BETTER when it’s chilly outside and you can use the code FITNESSISTA15 for 15% off!

While there are many circumstances we can’t control, I’m all about taking the steps we can when possible to protect our health.

What types of cancer are considered preventable? - 10  -  - Recommended diet for overall health and longevity in addition to cancer prevention - Her thoughts on animal protein and how much protein shed recommend - A little bit about CBD and so much more.   Here’s a little bit about Lauren: Lauren's journey to becoming a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN) began after volunteering to teach nutrition to kids.

Betsy Kleiger

In today’s episode, I’m chatting with my BFF  from Flab but Fab all about plastic surgery. We don’t hold anything back, and talk about breast augmentation, lipo, tummy tucks, mommy makeovers, breast explants, and answer your questions from  It’s a juicy episode and I hope you love this one!  Here’s what we talk about: - Why plastic surgery isn’t for everyone - Our experiences with plastic surgery - How to find a great surgeon - Weird things that have happened - Non-permanent options, like Botox - Recovery tips and so. much. more.  A note: It’s important to be in a good mental space before you get any type of plastic surgery. Know that getting a physical attribution “fixed” isn’t going to fix any insecurities, turmoil, or heal any grief you may be experiencing. I also fully believe that you can be at a place where you love yourself, love your body, but still have some things you’d like to change or fix. They don’t have to be mutually exclusive. We both have a “you do you” attitude when it comes to plastic surgery, so I hope you listen to this one with an open mind. I’m sharing an episode about plastic surgery because it’s a very popular option for aesthetic and functional purposes. I wanted to share our experiences and also give tips for picking an awesome, safe surgeon and recovering in a safe way. Also, I have to admit that it was super fun to gab with my best friend for a while. ;) (You’ll be able to see why we complement each other so well. We’re opposites but in the best way.) A little bit about Betsy if you haven’t met her yet: I’m a busy mom of two crazy, adorable boys. I am a mom of an ADHD/ Anxious child, which in itself constantly presents me with unique curve balls! I work hard everyday to fight my own anxiety and body acceptance issues, while striving to be the best mom, friend, wife, version as me possible. My intention with my blog is to give you 100% real Betsy, the good the bad, the flab, and the fab. And in turn, you can give yourself 100% realness too. Because, honey, it is OK to be exactly who you are! My mission is to build a safe community for all of us women to live our truth even if it’s not always pretty!
