On this episode of Podclass, we talk about diets. Either you’ve been on one yourself or know someone who has. Many people spend their entire lives on and off diets, but what are the long-term effects of them? We discuss popular diets and how they can affect your body in more ways than you may think. We also discuss our perspectives on health and wellness and dive into how we began our “journey” into incorporating health in our everyday lives.
