  As a personal trainer, one of the things I repeat the most is "the more basic and boring the fitness advice, the better it probably is"

  Believe it or not, I’ve recently lost 60lbs without drinking a single “greens” drink or wearing a matching workout set 🤣. For me, I love the outdoors, so I made a goal to visit as many nature parks as possible this year. Going on long walks, breathing in fresh air, and appreciating the amount of beauty on this earth has played a huge part in my health, both physically and mentally.

  The contrast between criticizing wellness influencers and opening with a wellness product promotion was… interesting

  Skinny can&apos;t be bought is a wild statement considering that the majority of celebrities and influencers stay skinny bc they BUY ozempic and other drugs to stay skinny, buy all the supplements to suppress their hunger and buy gym equipment and memberships to have a good body.

  My mother in law is very skinny because she doesn’t eat enough and her diet consists 90% of bacon and wine, she told me she went on a crash diet after giving birth because she was afraid her husband would cheat on her if she didn’t immediately get back to her pre-pregnancy shape (wildly unrealistic) and gave herself PPA and body image issues that she still now projects onto others too. Skinny DOES NOT always equal healthy, physically or mentally.

  I&apos;m a clinical psychologist. I came here to see what kind of cancer is eating away my young patients&apos; minds. Makes me so angry and sad.

  I remember seeing a video saying gen Z (I’m a gen z btw) is so focused on trying to find an aesthetic identity that they are losing their identity/ individuality and it’s so sad. It’s all about how others perceive us / what others will think of us/ what everyone else is doing. As much as I love social media and connecting with others, I feel like it is robbing us of our peace and individuality sometimes.
