#208: The power of bathing with Bathing Evolved
I have the guys from Bathing Evolved back on the podcast! A while back, they contacted me and sent me some of their awesome bath bombs. I was looking at them and noticed that they contained tea tree oil which is an endocrine disruptor, so I let them know. They did their own research and took the tea tree oil out!
Will and David are such nice and genuine guys, so I wanted to get them back on to talk more about bathing and how it can affect our health, hormones, and metabolism. In this episode, the Bathing Evolved guys and I chat about:
Their company’s humble beginnings
Hidden toxins in beauty and hygiene products
How certain chemicals act like estrogen in the body

The link between metabolism and bathing
The benefits of getting magnesium via the skin

#203: Focus on data not feelings with Craig McDonald
I had such an interesting conversation with a friend of mine last week about her unexplained weight gain.
She messaged saying Kit, I've gained 4kgs in the last few months and I just don't know why. Should I be doing more cardio??
I asked her if she'd been tracking her food and she said no, but I feel like I don't eat badly...
I remember when I first met Craig and he would say, “Focus on the data, not your feelings.”
Tracking really helped me get out of the emotions and actually look at the facts. This showed me where I was going wrong, which allowed me to make the correct changes so I could reach my body and health goals.
So, in this episode, Craig and I chat about:
How the data doesn’t lie
Belief vs reality
Taking extreme ownership
How data leads to a result
What data points we use with our clients
How consistency leads to results
Taking imperfect action
