What do nutrition trends, ex-girlfriend stories, and family gossip have in common? They all get air time on this long-awaited episode featuring my mom, the one and only Kim Karecky. She\u2019s been my biggest supporter through all my endeavors, and she\u2019s here to talk about how the definition of \u201chealthy\u201d has changed in her lifetime and what she\u2019s learned about her own eating habits. We take a look in her fridge, reminisce about my childhood, and swap stories that will make you laugh out loud.

You may have listened to other podcasts about my background, but you\u2019ve never gotten the kind of inside look that this episode will give you\u2014from my favorite snacks as a kid, to what it was like to call girls in high school, to how I became the crazy-jacked track athlete in high school. It\u2019s all here, and it\u2019s all riddled with commentary from the woman who knows me best. She tells it like it is and is unashamedly herself, iced coffee obsession and all.

As always, there\u2019s a ton of great info packed in here too, both common sense and totally nonsensical. Do you know how low-quality fat affects your brain? Did you know you can pull your heart muscle? Or that if you\u2019re short enough, you can get a handicapped placard?

Listen and enjoy!!
