Phenomenal resource
As a trauma therapist, a person who lives with recurrent depression and a longtime runner, this podcast is such a salve. Jeremy and Zach are vulnerable, authentic and genuinely interested in sharing the ways they have found peace & growth. They do so without ego, and with full openness to their own healing.
Informative and helps you live healthier
Not only is this fun to listen to, it genuinely helps you live a healthier life. The conversations and information presented is useful, easy to understand and motivating! Honestly, it’s a game changer!
Great combo of humor and education
I love this podcast! Jeremy and Zach are super relatable and bring on guests who really know wellness and how to teach it so we can be healthier and happier. The Jill Bolte Taylor episode blew my mind and had me laughing. I love the lightness and even humor with which they talk about issues that make us human, and I’ve learned practical tools for better living in every episode. Thanks guys!
Love listening to these guys!
Jeremy and Zach are both so insightful and aren’t afraid to share about the hard stuff. They ask their guests the right questions and I love the way the set up the episodes before getting into it. Do yourself a favor and check it out…episodes 98-101 are particularly great so you might consider listening to those first if you want a good sense of what they have to offer. Highly recommend!
