Podcast 273:
Confessions of a Health Blogger
I have a confession.
No, it’s not quite the worst thing in the world. But as a health blogger and podcaster, it’s certainly not one of my prouder moments.
I’d let myself go.
I can make all the excuses in the world — the holidays, football weekends with the guys, the stress of buying my first home, whatever.
The truth is that I had simply fallen off the wagon.
I’m human.
When it came time to start filming for The Thyroid Sessions, I took a look at myself in the mirror and freaked out.
My face was bloated. My belly was pushing through my t-shirt. And I discovered these “rolly things” growing just outside of my lower back.
When the first edits for my Thyroid interviews came back, I was pretty disgusted to witness what I had done to myself.
Even worse, I was left to wonder if any viewers would notice that the typically lean Underground Wellness guy had become a chunkier version of himself.
Motivated to whip myself back into shape like never before, I got back to JERFing (Just Eating Real Food), hit the gym, and actually started using the yoga membership I had been paying for.
Yoga made a huge difference. Every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon, I made sure I was in Marisa P’s introductory hot yoga class.
