We're taking a walk down memory lane for this one, fitfam. 💛🖤

As Boot Camp Challenge® celebrates 25 YEARS, I sat down with some of the trainers who have been part of this crazy, wonderful ride to look back at where it all started and ohhhh, the stories. 😂

We start with introductions and everyone's personal BCC origin story, then head straight into the memories: our first camps, their first impressions of me 😬, hilarious camper stories, and yes, one trainer even fired her own husband. 😂

But as anyone who has been part of BCC knows, our story isn't just about workouts and funny moments. We also talk about the campers we've lost over the years, what it was like to grieve those losses together, and how somewhere between the squat thrusts, ridiculous early mornings, sweaty shirts, laughter and tears, something much bigger than a fitness program was created.

We became family.

Campers and trainers. People who showed up to work out and ended up doing life together.

There are a LOT of laughs in this episode, a few tears, and 25 years of memories that remind me why I still love this little thing we started back in October of 2001 so very much.

If you've ever been part of Boot Camp Challenge®, this episode is for you.

Here's to 25 years, fitfam. Hoo Aah! 💛🖤

Creatine, peptides, collagen...oh my! 😜

These are some of the biggest buzzwords in health and fitness right now, but what do they actually do?

And more importantly, do we really need them?

In this episode, I sit down with Registered Dietitian Sarah to break it all down in a way that's easy to understand.

We chat about the benefits of creatine, when to take it, what to look for in a supplement, and whether it really causes bloating or weight gain.

We also dive into peptides and collagen, what they are, how they work, and whether they're worth adding to your routine.

And, of course, I ask all the questions I know many of us women are wondering, especially as we get older and work hard to maintain our muscle, strength, and quality of life.

No hype. Just a real conversation to help you make informed decisions about YOUR health.

Let's dive in! 🎙️💪

Love you

Hey Fitfam,

I am so excited to share today's brand-new podcast episode with you!

In this episode, I sit down with Sarah, a registered dietitian and professor at Michigan State University, to break down the new USDA nutrition guidelines — what's changed, what's stayed the same, and how these updates actually apply to real life.

Here's a little peek at what we dove into 👇

🥗 Nutrition Basics
• What the new USDA guidelines actually recommend
• What hasn't changed (and why that matters)
• How to think about the nutritional value of foods

🧠 Science Over Fads
• How nutrition research informs the guidelines
• Why conflicting advice is so common
• How to know what information you can trust

⚖️ Real-Life Application
• How to apply the guidelines day to day
• Why you don't need to overhaul everything overnight
• How small, informed choices support long-term health

This is a grounded, realistic conversation, and I hope you walk away feeling less overwhelmed and more confident about how to nourish your body.
