Has being healthy somehow become a full-time job? In the first episode of Wellness Explained, nutritionist Sandy Jolles cuts through the noise to explore the science behind the health habits that truly move the needle...and why the latest wellness hack may not be where your time, money, and attention belong.
Has being healthy somehow become a full-time job?
Between supplements, wearables, 10,000-step goals, sleep optimization, red light therapy, and the latest longevity hacks, it's easy to lose sight of what actually matters most.
In the very first episode of Wellness Explained, nutritionist Sandy Jolles explores the science behind the health habits that truly move the needle...and the ones that might just be icing on the cake.
In this episode, we explore:
• Why muscle is about much more than strength or aesthetics
• The surprising relationship between cardiorespiratory fitness and longevity
• Why 10,000 steps isn't a magic biological threshold
• What happens when you walk after a meal
• Why fiber is much more interesting than its reputation
• How sleep affects metabolic health
• The surprisingly powerful connection between relationships and health
• Why more health data doesn't always create better health
• Where creatine, cold plunges, red light therapy, greens powders, and apple cider vinegar might fit
And we'll come back to a question that will be central to Wellness Explained:
Not just “Does it work?...but how much does it actually matter?
Because wellness should be fun. We're just going to make sure the science comes with us.
