squadcaster-b37c_1_04-14-2026_123746:

26

: 00:01:06

but this is our first one together.

27

: 00:01:07

mcw_1_04-14-2026_103747: That's awesome,

and you guys are sisters, right?

28

squadcaster-b37c_1_04-14-2026_123746: Yes.

29

: 00:01:11

Kari is, how old are you?

30

: 00:01:13

Three years older.

31

: 00:01:13

Som years older than, I'm 27.

32

: 00:01:14

Yeah.

33

: 00:01:15

Mm-hmm.

34

: 00:01:15

And I'm, I'm 23 right now.

35

: 00:01:16

A lot of people flop that.

36

: 00:01:18

They're like, oh, Kari, you look younger.

37

: 00:01:20

And I'm like, one day I'm

gonna love that compliment.

38

: 00:01:22

But am.

39

: 00:01:23

I am three years older,

but it's basically, I feel

40

: 00:01:25

like we're twins, honestly.

41

: 00:01:26

mcw_1_04-14-2026_103747:

Girl, I am 28 and my sister is

42

: 00:01:30

22,

43

: 00:01:31

and people all the time

think she's older than me.

44

: 00:01:34

Like, I dunno what it's, but

I get that people think I'm

45

: 00:01:37

like 16, like all the time

46

: 00:01:39

squadcaster-b37c_1_04-14-2026_123746:

yeah,

47

: 00:01:39

mcw_1_04-14-2026_103747: and I hate it.

48

: 00:01:41

But the closer I get to 30 the

more I'm like, yeah, whatever.

49

: 00:01:44

It's fine.

50

: 00:01:44

Like you can think I look young.

51

: 00:01:46

squadcaster-b37c_1_04-14-2026_123746:

Exactly, yeah.

52

: 00:01:47

I'm still 21.

53

: 00:01:48

That's

54

: 00:01:48

mcw_1_04-14-2026_103747: Yeah, like one

day I'm gonna get to be like 40 or 50

55

: 00:01:52

and people are gonna be like, are you 25?

56

: 00:01:54

And I'm gonna be like, yeah,

57

: 00:01:55

squadcaster-b37c_1_04-14-2026_123746:

exactly.

58

: 00:01:56

They're, yeah,

59

: 00:01:56

Then the, then the younger

60

: 00:01:57

sisters are gonna be like, okay, yeah,

I don't like that compliment anymore.

61

: 00:02:01

mcw_1_04-14-2026_103747: exactly.

62

: 00:02:02

Well, thanks for coming on here.

63

: 00:02:03

You guys.

64

: 00:02:03

Can you share just a little bit

about what you guys do online line?

65

: 00:02:07

squadcaster-b37c_1_04-14-2026_123746:

Yes, definitely.

66

: 00:02:08

So we are, as Mari said, everything,

Krause, which is just like the

67

: 00:02:11

name of our brand that we created.

68

: 00:02:13

Basically we're centered on health,

wellness, faith, really bringing.

69

: 00:02:18

What we like to say, health and God

back to our generation and showing that

70

: 00:02:22

they're not two separate things, but two

things that go hand in hand together.

71

: 00:02:25

So we post a lot about clean eating,

a lot about non-toxic living.

72

: 00:02:29

Um, we're Catholic in particular, so

we post a lot about our Catholic faith

73

: 00:02:31

journey and growing in our spiritual life.

74

: 00:02:34

Um, but we mainly just share

everything lifestyle as well.

75

: 00:02:36

Like we said, we're sisters, but

we're also best friends journeying

76

: 00:02:39

through this life together.

77

: 00:02:40

So.

78

: 00:02:40

We like to share things that are relatable

and real, rather than almost teaching

79

: 00:02:45

people because we're we're not teachers.

80

: 00:02:47

You know, we're, we're growing through

life as we go, and we want you to, we

81

: 00:02:50

want all of you to really grow with us.

82

: 00:02:52

We like to say

83

: 00:02:53

mcw_1_04-14-2026_103747: That's awesome.

84

: 00:02:53

squadcaster-b37c_1_04-14-2026_123746:

said.

85

: 00:02:54

No notes, no notes on that one, sis.

86

: 00:02:56

mcw_1_04-14-2026_103747: Amazing.

87

: 00:02:57

I love it.

88

: 00:02:57

I'm excited to dive into all things

healthy living, how you got into this

89

: 00:03:02

clean lifestyle, how you integrate

it with your faith, um, and just how

90

: 00:03:05

you grow in these different virtues.

91

: 00:03:07

So before we jump in, let's

do our ever be moments today.

92

: 00:03:10

Do you guys have any,

93

: 00:03:12

squadcaster-b37c_1_04-14-2026_123746:

Yes, I'll start.

94

: 00:03:13

Yes, go ahead.

95

: 00:03:14

Okay.

96

: 00:03:14

So my ever be moment, it's

actually a small one, but I feel

97

: 00:03:17

like it's in the smallest moments

that God really reveals himself.

98

: 00:03:20

So, as I said, we are content creators,

and there was one day where I was just

99

: 00:03:24

really in my head about our platform.

100

: 00:03:27

I started comparing myself to other

creators almost in a way though of.

101

: 00:03:31

we making an impact?

102

: 00:03:32

God, are we doing

103

: 00:03:33

mcw_1_04-14-2026_103747: Hmm.

104

: 00:03:34

squadcaster-b37c_1_04-14-2026_123746:

us to do?

105

: 00:03:34

Are we resonating with people?

106

: 00:03:36

Is our message even

really affecting people?

107

: 00:03:39

Like, or am I just posting

into the void like it was this

108

: 00:03:41

really weird, negative thought

109

: 00:03:43

mcw_1_04-14-2026_103747: Mm-hmm.

110

: 00:03:43

squadcaster-b37c_1_04-14-2026_123746:

into and I was just crying in the middle

111

: 00:03:45

of my prayer saying this to all of

them being like, I trust in you, Lord.

112

: 00:03:48

Just like, please guide me and.

113

: 00:03:51

Course, whenever I, whenever

I bring that to prayer, I'm

114

: 00:03:53

like, I know not to compare.

115

: 00:03:54

Like I know that you made me

uniquely me and I need to remember

116

: 00:03:57

mcw_1_04-14-2026_103747: It's okay.

117

: 00:03:57

I've been.

118

: 00:03:58

squadcaster-b37c_1_04-14-2026_123746:

I, yeah.

119

: 00:03:59

So when I got home from that walk and

that prayer, I picked up my phone and I

120

: 00:04:03

was like, lemme go read a few comments, a

few dms, make sure I answer some people.

121

: 00:04:07

And I had gotten a DM like two minutes

ago from this girl who told us that she

122

: 00:04:11

originally followed us for health and

wellness content, but she's a Protestant

123

: 00:04:15

Christian and she has been so inspired

by our, by our Catholic post and started

124

: 00:04:19

going to mass and it's just like super.

125

: 00:04:21

Diving in for something deeper and

she's converting to Catholicism, which

126

: 00:04:25

I just thought was like so special

because I don't know, it was in that

127

: 00:04:28

moment that I was like, I like looked

into the sky and I was like, thank you

128

: 00:04:32

mcw_1_04-14-2026_103747: Hmm.

129

: 00:04:32

squadcaster-b37c_1_04-14-2026_123746:

thank you for showing that our

130

: 00:04:34

content does really make an impact.

131

: 00:04:35

There are people behind

132

: 00:04:36

mcw_1_04-14-2026_103747: Yeah.

133

: 00:04:37

squadcaster-b37c_1_04-14-2026_123746:

that are reading our captions, that

134

: 00:04:39

are reading our stories, and I'm

not just posting into the void.

135

: 00:04:42

I'm doing what you're calling me to do,

and it was just such a small moment,

136

: 00:04:45

but such reassurance that I needed that.

137

: 00:04:47

I was like, I can put that

thought behind me for good Now.

138

: 00:04:50

mcw_1_04-14-2026_103747: I love that.

139

: 00:04:51

That's so beautiful that you got to see

that reassurance right then and there.

140

: 00:04:54

Um, I'm sure a moment will come

back where, where you're gonna need

141

: 00:04:58

that reassurance again and the Lord

will keep giving you those breadcrumbs.

142

: 00:05:01

But that's beautiful that

you answered that prayer.

143

: 00:05:04

squadcaster-b37c_1_04-14-2026_123746:

Thank you.

144

: 00:05:05

Oh, I always say Isabel's

prayers are very powerful too.

145

: 00:05:08

So when she told me that,

I'm like, I'm not surprised.

146

: 00:05:10

He answered you literally five

minutes later with that DM like that.

147

: 00:05:14

He was like, I got you, my child.

148

: 00:05:16

Don't worry.

149

: 00:05:17

Like truthfully.

150

: 00:05:18

Yeah.

151

: 00:05:18

So I, and I love hearing that obviously

as her partner and all this, I'm

152

: 00:05:21

like, okay, re reassures me that.

153

: 00:05:23

It feels like we're

truly on the right path.

154

: 00:05:25

Um, kind of going off of that

my ever be moment again, going

155

: 00:05:29

along with like the path of things.

156

: 00:05:31

So another thing that I do and

another on the other side of

157

: 00:05:34

things is I'm a fitness instructor.

158

: 00:05:36

mcw_1_04-14-2026_103747: Yeah.

159

: 00:05:36

squadcaster-b37c_1_04-14-2026_123746:

a lot of Pilates classes, a lot

160

: 00:05:37

of sculpt classes, which is very

fun, very passionate about it.

161

: 00:05:41

I recently became a

Lululemon ambassador, which

162

: 00:05:44

mcw_1_04-14-2026_103747: Yeah.

163

: 00:05:44

squadcaster-b37c_1_04-14-2026_123746:

a very exciting thing.

164

: 00:05:46

Um, but obviously what Isabel and I post

a lot about is non-toxic, clean living,

165

: 00:05:51

all these different areas of life.

166

: 00:05:52

But we always tell people we're not

perfect in that active wear is one of

167

: 00:05:56

those areas where we're not perfect.

168

: 00:05:57

And when I was driving in the car,

like a little bit after I found

169

: 00:06:01

out that I got it, I was just

like, how am I gonna bridge this?

170

: 00:06:05

opportunity with a brand that I looked

up to literally since I was in grade

171

: 00:06:08

school, like wanting to buy their, you

know, their zip up jackets and being

172

: 00:06:13

like the girl in Lululemon, right?

173

: 00:06:14

Like literally in grade school.

174

: 00:06:16

And how can I bridge this now

with what is well, and I do.

175

: 00:06:18

And I just, had just gotten done

praying the rosary and I feel like I

176

: 00:06:22

just had this moment come to me of.

177

: 00:06:24

This is the opportunity that

you can make maybe even a bigger

178

: 00:06:28

impact in such a big space.

179

: 00:06:30

Like talk about like

little fish in a big pond.

180

: 00:06:32

That's how I feel in terms of being

in partnership with Lululemon.

181

: 00:06:36

mcw_1_04-14-2026_103747: Wow.

182

: 00:06:36

squadcaster-b37c_1_04-14-2026_123746:

an amazing opportunity, and I feel

183

: 00:06:38

like I have all these fun ideas that

are now of coming to fruition in a

184

: 00:06:43

way, or just coming to me about how

God's like, listen, you can make a

185

: 00:06:47

massive impact here, bringing this

non-toxic living, this healthier.

186

: 00:06:52

Lifestyle for women's fertility men,

like all these things that we talk about

187

: 00:06:56

with clothing and non-toxic living and

bring that to this massive company.

188

: 00:07:01

And even if I move the needle like half

an inch, I think that's even amazing.

189

: 00:07:06

So I feel like, you know, questioning

like, oh, is this right for me?

190

: 00:07:09

Like I was questioning, right?

191

: 00:07:11

There was a time when I was like,

God, is this really meant for me?

192

: 00:07:13

Or is this something that's

gonna throw me off of?

193

: 00:07:16

I think like the path that we're on

together too, because obviously, you know,

194

: 00:07:20

like that's something that I'm a part of.

195

: 00:07:22

But of course Isabelle is a

part of my life, so I'm like,

196

: 00:07:24

I have to think about that.

197

: 00:07:25

And I feel like in that moment

God was like, is a part of your

198

: 00:07:29

plan in some way, but you have to

kind of have the guts to do it.

199

: 00:07:32

And even if, even if they tell

you no a thousand times, like

200

: 00:07:35

try and get one yes in that door.

201

: 00:07:37

So who's ever listened to this podcast?

202

: 00:07:39

You're hearing it here first.

203

: 00:07:40

Thanks for sharing that.

226

: 00:08:05

Um, for me, my ever be moment, so

yesterday in my morning prayer time,

227

: 00:08:11

I decided to open up some old prayer

journals that I've had, like since I

228

: 00:08:16

started prayer journaling back in 2018.

229

: 00:08:19

And so I literally started with

the first one, which was like.

230

: 00:08:22

Old and I was just so inspired by

seeing the ways the Lord has answered

231

: 00:08:28

little prayers and even the way the

Lord has like even used those old

232

: 00:08:33

prayer journals to speak to me now and.

233

: 00:08:37

I fell on some notes from SEEK

conferences, like the first seek

234

: 00:08:42

conference I went to back in 2018

and there was this whole page that

235

: 00:08:46

I drew from Sarah Swofford talk that

said, live life with open hands.

236

: 00:08:51

And it was just like, we just tend

to grasp so much for what we want

237

: 00:08:55

or our plan or our time or whatever.

238

: 00:08:58

And I just, it all came flooding back.

239

: 00:09:00

She was just like, why live like this?

240

: 00:09:02

Like when you can live like

this and how much more like.

241

: 00:09:04

squadcaster-b37c_1_04-14-2026_123746:

that.

242

: 00:09:05

mcw_1_04-14-2026_103747: Joyful

and free and fulfilling, and even

243

: 00:09:10

just like peaceful, is it to be

like this instead of like gripped

244

: 00:09:14

knuckles, you know what I mean?

245

: 00:09:16

And the Lord can work so much

more when we are like this.

246

: 00:09:18

So that was just a good encouragement

for me and hopefully to anyone

247

: 00:09:22

who needed to hear that today.

248

: 00:09:24

squadcaster-b37c_1_04-14-2026_123746:

Yeah, no, that's, which I love that.

249

: 00:09:25

That's beautiful.

250

: 00:09:25

And it's, even being able to

visualize that, I feel like it's,

251

: 00:09:28

it's so easy to go through life with

252

: 00:09:30

that grip of feeling like I'm in

control and I need to control it.

253

: 00:09:34

Like, what do I want?

254

: 00:09:35

What do I, I, I,

255

: 00:09:36

mcw_1_04-14-2026_103747: Yeah.

256

: 00:09:37

squadcaster-b37c_1_04-14-2026_123746:

so often we, you know, hearing that

257

: 00:09:38

I'm like, that is, that's beautiful.

258

: 00:09:40

I, know that's gonna be something

that's gonna stick with us for sure.

259

: 00:09:43

mcw_1_04-14-2026_103747: Good.

260

: 00:09:43

I love it.

261

: 00:09:44

Well, let's jump into it.

262

: 00:09:46

I wanna start off by

bringing up your guys' bio.

263

: 00:09:49

'cause I thought it was just

so fun and catchy and yet like

264

: 00:09:53

communicated such a message.

265

: 00:09:55

It's

266

: 00:09:55

squadcaster-b37c_1_04-14-2026_123746:

thank you.

267

: 00:09:57

mcw_1_04-14-2026_103747: living

non-toxic, moving our bodies,

268

: 00:09:59

growing our minds, and serving God.

269

: 00:10:02

So I kind of wanna know like were

these values that you guys have always

270

: 00:10:06

had throughout your life, or how did

you really grow into this lifestyle?

271

: 00:10:11

squadcaster-b37c_1_04-14-2026_123746:

Mm-hmm.

272

: 00:10:12

I feel like all those values have, like

you said, they have always been a part

273

: 00:10:17

of our life in some way, especially like

faith, for example, we born and raised

274

: 00:10:22

Catholic, so we had very faithful parents

still to this day, very, very faithful.

275

: 00:10:27

Great examples for us.

276

: 00:10:29

Our nana was, you know, walked

around with rosaries in our hand,

277

: 00:10:31

fell asleep every night, praying.

278

: 00:10:33

Our rosaries was always just,

you know, went to daily mass.

279

: 00:10:36

So we had this inspiration

around us all the time.

280

: 00:10:40

It's funny because when even hearing

you talk about it, I feel like all

281

: 00:10:43

these things have so naturally been

embedded in our life, but have grown so

282

: 00:10:47

much, especially through this account

and through all the people we meet and

283

: 00:10:50

just in growing in our own journeys.

284

: 00:10:52

I feel like if you had asked us

when we started our account Ways

285

: 00:10:56

and ways ago in 2017, if that would

be our bio, we've probably been

286

: 00:11:00

like, why is all that included?

287

: 00:11:01

Why isn't fashion on there?

288

: 00:11:03

Or like lifestyle trends?

289

: 00:11:05

Why, you know, I feel like it

would've been confusing, so.

290

: 00:11:09

As much as it's always been a part

of our life, there's definitely

291

: 00:11:11

areas that have grown so much in the

past few years of like deepening our

292

: 00:11:15

faith and especially in the non-toxic

293

: 00:11:17

mcw_1_04-14-2026_103747: Mm-hmm.

294

: 00:11:18

squadcaster-b37c_1_04-14-2026_123746:

we weren't always paying attention to

295

: 00:11:19

what we were putting in our bodies,

296

: 00:11:21

what we were wearing, what we were

eating and drinking, things like that.

297

: 00:11:24

Like that is a newer thing for us

in the past few years for sure.

298

: 00:11:28

Mm-hmm.

299

: 00:11:28

mcw_1_04-14-2026_103747: Mm-hmm.

300

: 00:11:29

squadcaster-b37c_1_04-14-2026_123746:

really cool to see it all come together.

301

: 00:11:31

I think like hearing it now, I'm

like, wow, it really did all come

302

: 00:11:34

full circle for us in a way, and

we're still growing in all of that.

303

: 00:11:38

Working on that bio

and growing it as well.

304

: 00:11:41

I think the, the foundation of it that has

always been there, like Tiri said, really

305

: 00:11:45

was the faith aspect and the fitness

aspect, I would say for our entire lives.

306

: 00:11:49

You know, we watched our mom and our aunt.

307

: 00:11:51

Run every single weekend down the shore.

308

: 00:11:53

They ran marathon after marathon.

309

: 00:11:54

So we were constantly surrounded

by adults who moved to their body.

310

: 00:11:58

Mm-hmm.

311

: 00:11:58

So for us, when we started working

out, it wasn't like something that

312

: 00:12:02

was like, oh, I'm going to the gym.

313

: 00:12:03

It was like a natural born thing to do.

314

: 00:12:06

And I think that with our faith were

the two foundational pillars that

315

: 00:12:10

like grew us to where we are today

and almost allowed us to evolve.

316

: 00:12:13

I think if we didn't have those pillars.

317

: 00:12:16

You probably wouldn't be the same people.

318

: 00:12:17

Mm-hmm.

319

: 00:12:17

So those values were maybe there,

and I think because of those values,

320

: 00:12:21

the other ones fell into place and

that's why we were even passionate

321

: 00:12:24

enough to dig into them eventually.

322

: 00:12:25

Mm-hmm.

323

: 00:12:26

mcw_1_04-14-2026_103747: That's awesome.

324

: 00:12:27

I love it.

325

: 00:12:28

mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: Alright, let's

chat a little bit about non-toxic living,

326

: 00:12:30

because I feel like it's been on the

rise the past couple years, and yet

327

: 00:12:34

it's still very new to a lot of people.

328

: 00:12:37

So I'm curious to know a little

bit more about your guys' journey.

329

: 00:12:41

What were some of the wake

up calls maybe that put you.

330

: 00:12:46

That made you start actually caring

about what you put on your body, in

331

: 00:12:50

your body, in your home, all the things.

332

: 00:12:54

squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605:

Wanna go.

333

: 00:12:54

So I think our journey really started

with clean eating and non-toxic living

334

: 00:12:59

came from that we, we kind of tackled

one beast before tackling another.

335

: 00:13:04

Um, and I would say it was

in, I think it was year: 2016

336

: 00:13:07

Our mom was diagnosed with ms,

which is multiple sclerosis.

337

: 00:13:10

mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: Yep.

338

: 00:13:11

squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605:

it's an autoimmune disease.

339

: 00:13:12

And when she was in the hospital,

they told her like, you're gonna

340

: 00:13:15

be in a wheelchair within a month.

341

: 00:13:16

And if you heard me earlier in the

podcast, like she was running marathons.

342

: 00:13:20

She worked out every single day.

343

: 00:13:21

She was an active woman.

344

: 00:13:23

So like in our mind, she was

the healthiest person that

345

: 00:13:25

mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: Yeah.

346

: 00:13:25

squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605:

Yeah.

347

: 00:13:25

Mm-hmm.

348

: 00:13:26

So to us, we were like, what do you

mean she's gonna be in a wheelchair?

349

: 00:13:28

Like, she couldn't even comprehend

that idea and she really

350

: 00:13:32

refused to accept that idea.

351

: 00:13:33

So.

352

: 00:13:35

When she heard that, they immediately

told her like, get on medicine,

353

: 00:13:37

here's your pills, et cetera.

354

: 00:13:39

And she kind of was like, I'm

not accepting this reality.

355

: 00:13:41

I'm not accepting this as my fate.

356

: 00:13:42

I'm gonna do everything in

my power to change my future.

357

: 00:13:45

And that's when she kind of contacted

our cousin, who was super, his

358

: 00:13:48

name's Evan, he's super into health

and wellness, holistic living.

359

: 00:13:51

And he recommended Dr.

360

: 00:13:53

Terry Walls who wrote a whole book about.

361

: 00:13:56

Autoimmune diseases and the paleo

diet, which was, you know, no carbs, no

362

: 00:14:00

sugars, like it was very restrictive.

363

: 00:14:02

No tomatoes, no nightshade vegetables,

like very anti-inflammatory,

364

: 00:14:06

like to the max mm-hmm.

365

: 00:14:08

To the

366

: 00:14:08

mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: Got it

367

: 00:14:09

squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605:

could be in terms of relating it

368

: 00:14:12

to, um, an autoimmune disease.

369

: 00:14:14

Yeah.

370

: 00:14:14

In a

371

: 00:14:14

mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: right.

372

: 00:14:14

squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605:

it, it was for a good reason, right?

373

: 00:14:16

Mm-hmm.

374

: 00:14:16

Because autoimmune diseases are

inflammation in the body, so the

375

: 00:14:18

mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: Yep.

376

: 00:14:18

squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605:

thing to do for your body is

377

: 00:14:19

to lower that inflammation.

378

: 00:14:20

So.

379

: 00:14:22

the diet was really focused on that.

380

: 00:14:23

So she was like, I'm gonna try it.

381

: 00:14:25

I'm gonna try this diet.

382

: 00:14:26

I'm gonna go strict.

383

: 00:14:28

I'm not gonna break it.

384

: 00:14:29

I'm just gonna see what it

385

: 00:14:30

does.

386

: 00:14:30

So she went paleo for, I would

say a good, I don't know, year.

387

: 00:14:33

Yeah,

388

: 00:14:34

mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: Wow.

389

: 00:14:35

squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605: And

she was in the best shape of her life.

390

: 00:14:37

She was so unbelievably healthy.

391

: 00:14:39

She didn't have any flareups of MS.

392

: 00:14:40

Comeback.

393

: 00:14:41

mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: Wow.

394

: 00:14:41

squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605:

was really, yeah.

395

: 00:14:42

Mm-hmm.

396

: 00:14:42

So that was all changed simply by

her diet, and that was a huge wake

397

: 00:14:46

up call for us because we were like.

398

: 00:14:48

Hold on.

399

: 00:14:50

They told us you were gonna be in a

wheelchair in a month and here you

400

: 00:14:52

are going on a 10 mile run with us.

401

: 00:14:55

What happened here?

402

: 00:14:56

Like what changed your future?

403

: 00:14:58

We obviously, you know, had the

idea, okay, clearly it was your diet.

404

: 00:15:02

How does that affect us?

405

: 00:15:03

Like, we're ahead of the game right now.

406

: 00:15:05

We don't have ms, but

maybe that's in our future.

407

: 00:15:07

We need to take accountability now and

kind of take control of our lives and

408

: 00:15:11

really start fueling our bodies properly.

409

: 00:15:13

Paying attention to the food that

we're going in, in, into our bodies.

410

: 00:15:16

'cause if it's having that

big of an impact on you.

411

: 00:15:18

doing stuff to us right now, even if

we're not experiencing the negative

412

: 00:15:22

effects of the food yet, it's happening

internally that we don't see yet.

413

: 00:15:25

And I would say that was probably

the biggest wake up call to

414

: 00:15:29

you put in your body matters.

415

: 00:15:30

Mm-hmm.

416

: 00:15:30

And then eventually after, you know,

years of researching that, I think

417

: 00:15:35

we were like, oh, what goes on?

418

: 00:15:37

Your body matters too.

419

: 00:15:38

Mm-hmm.

420

: 00:15:38

Exactly.

421

: 00:15:39

And I feel like we give a lot of

credit, our family does to our

422

: 00:15:42

cousin Evan, because he was very

ahead of the game in terms of.

423

: 00:15:45

He's the one that told us, you know,

plastic cutting boards aren't good.

424

: 00:15:48

You're eating shreds of plastic.

425

: 00:15:49

Like all these things

that we were like, what?

426

: 00:15:52

mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: Yeah.

427

: 00:15:52

squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605:

we have to get rid of these.

428

: 00:15:53

Yeah.

429

: 00:15:53

All these little things.

430

: 00:15:54

And like as well said, I think just one

thing spiral to the next, and the more

431

: 00:15:58

you know, the more you start to realize

like, okay, if I am like eating plastic,

432

: 00:16:03

I'm probably putting things on my body

or you know, I'm, my skin is my biggest

433

: 00:16:07

organ while I'm putting on lotions.

434

: 00:16:09

Mm-hmm.

435

: 00:16:09

And deodorants that have

sense and then I've.

436

: 00:16:12

It just, it spiraled

437

: 00:16:13

into knowing so much, and

that can be very overwhelming.

438

: 00:16:16

But like, as I said, that started

back in: 2016

439

: 00:16:19

So it's been 10 years of kind of going

on this journey and learning more.

440

: 00:16:23

But I feel like starting with.

441

: 00:16:25

Cleaning up your food is definitely

like the best place to start.

442

: 00:16:28

Mm-hmm.

443

: 00:16:29

So yeah, we were for, I mean, before

our mom was diagnosed, I don't

444

: 00:16:32

think I even heard of the word

inflammation in terms of food before.

445

: 00:16:35

Like I never knew like,

oh, food could be infl.

446

: 00:16:37

I didn't think like that.

447

: 00:16:38

And I

448

: 00:16:39

mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: Of course.

449

: 00:16:39

squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605:

we like ate healthy before.

450

: 00:16:41

You know what I mean?

451

: 00:16:41

I never

452

: 00:16:41

mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: Yeah.

453

: 00:16:42

squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605:

we were.

454

: 00:16:43

Unhealthy.

455

: 00:16:43

Like our mom never gave us

soda or crazy drinks or cereal.

456

: 00:16:47

Like we were always, I feel

like the normal family.

457

: 00:16:50

And then it was like, oh, whoa,

there's so much to clean out here.

458

: 00:16:53

Like we saw how much our mom

wasn't eating and we're like,

459

: 00:16:56

well, we can't eat that then.

460

: 00:16:57

Yeah, like, but it was, it was actually

really beautiful because it wasn't

461

: 00:17:00

in a restrictive way, and I think

462

: 00:17:02

that's why our relationship with clean

eating has been so beautiful because

463

: 00:17:06

we saw her restriction as healing,

464

: 00:17:08

not as something that was restrictive.

465

: 00:17:10

So when we started clean

eating, it wasn't for.

466

: 00:17:12

Weight loss or for I wanna get rid

of my gut or anything like that.

467

: 00:17:15

It was for, I need to make, I need

to make sure I'm healthy internally.

468

: 00:17:18

So I think that that was a huge

part of our healthy mindset

469

: 00:17:22

around clean eating today as well.

470

: 00:17:24

mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: just like really

recognizing like what is good, what

471

: 00:17:28

is good, and being drawn to it because

it's good, because it's good for you.

472

: 00:17:31

And just, and that comes with a

lot of just like knowledge too.

473

: 00:17:34

And I know it takes time to do the

research, to learn the things, to

474

: 00:17:37

learn the impacts of what foods for

which bodies and stuff like that.

475

: 00:17:40

And so, sounds like it was coming

definitely from like a good intention,

476

: 00:17:44

well researched, um, place, which

is the best place you can be.

477

: 00:17:48

squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605:

Yeah, definitely.

478

: 00:17:49

mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: And so then

you guys started kind of getting

479

: 00:17:51

into more just like non-toxic

like products and stuff like that.

480

: 00:17:54

And I, I Thank you cousin Evan.

481

: 00:17:56

I mean like, we all need a

cousin, Evan, in our lives.

482

: 00:17:59

squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605:

Seriously.

483

: 00:18:00

mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606:

Along that journey.

484

: 00:18:01

And it's so true.

485

: 00:18:02

You just start going down a rabbit hole

486

: 00:18:04

squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605:

Mm-hmm.

487

: 00:18:05

mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: it can be

overwhelming, but I think like the

488

: 00:18:07

piece of advice I always give to people

is just like, start with one thing and

489

: 00:18:10

then just switch out the next thing.

490

: 00:18:11

And when you run outta one thing,

just like do some research and.

491

: 00:18:15

Don't just buy the same mainstream item,

but like try and buy the non-toxic item.

492

: 00:18:20

And sometimes you're gonna have to

try a couple non-toxic brands before

493

: 00:18:23

you find them when that works because

494

: 00:18:26

squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605:

Yeah.

495

: 00:18:26

mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: people

are greenwashing and it's not

496

: 00:18:28

actually non-toxic and you find out

later or it doesn't work as well.

497

: 00:18:31

And so finding the brands that

actually work well and are

498

: 00:18:33

non-toxic are really hard.

499

: 00:18:34

So it's great when

creators like find that.

500

: 00:18:37

For you and then it kind of cuts

out a little bit of that research.

501

: 00:18:40

Um, so I'm sure you guys share some

good swaps and stuff on your page.

502

: 00:18:44

People can find,

503

: 00:18:45

squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605:

Yeah, definitely.

504

: 00:18:46

That's why we like to be the Guinea

pigs for people in that regard.

505

: 00:18:49

I mean, we, we,

506

: 00:18:50

mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: yeah.

507

: 00:18:50

squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605:

we have the products that we know and

508

: 00:18:52

love, like you said, we know the ones

that work and we know the deodorants

509

: 00:18:55

that aren't cutting it for us.

510

: 00:18:57

You know what I

511

: 00:18:57

mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: Yes.

512

: 00:18:57

squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605:

We're, we're happy to share that and I.

513

: 00:19:00

Our mission is to be able to make

the decision easier for you of like,

514

: 00:19:03

mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: Yeah.

515

: 00:19:04

squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605:

needed to go get a quick swap,

516

: 00:19:06

go to the everything cross girls,

what are they saying for this

517

: 00:19:09

mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: Totally.

518

: 00:19:10

squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605:

gonna try it out.

519

: 00:19:11

And it might not work for them.

520

: 00:19:12

Who knows?

521

: 00:19:12

You might have a personal preference,

522

: 00:19:14

but it's always, just like you

said, it's one thing at a time.

523

: 00:19:17

So we try and be that liaison for

people between the brands and you

524

: 00:19:21

know, consumer as much as we can.

525

: 00:19:23

Mm-hmm.

526

: 00:19:23

mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: what is your

guys' wellness routine look like week to

527

: 00:19:26

week, and are there any non-negotiables

that you really try not to miss?

528

: 00:19:32

squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605: Hmm.

529

: 00:19:32

It's hard 'cause I think

it changes a lot, honestly.

530

: 00:19:35

Yeah.

531

: 00:19:35

I don't think we're those classic wellness

girls that have a 15 step morning routine.

532

: 00:19:40

mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: Okay.

533

: 00:19:40

squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605:

never been that.

534

: 00:19:41

Like

535

: 00:19:42

mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: Yeah.

536

: 00:19:42

squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605:

the wellness tools.

537

: 00:19:43

I think they are wonderful.

538

: 00:19:45

I love my vibration plate.

539

: 00:19:46

I love my red light.

540

: 00:19:47

I love that stuff.

541

: 00:19:48

But.

542

: 00:19:50

nongo non-negotiables to me

because I could be traveling,

543

: 00:19:53

I could be down the beach.

544

: 00:19:53

I could be somewhere where

I don't have that in my

545

: 00:19:55

routine.

546

: 00:19:56

So I don't like to hinge

health or my wellness on.

547

: 00:20:00

Tools that I need to have

in a certain location.

548

: 00:20:02

I just think that's not sustainable.

549

: 00:20:04

So I think our wellness routine

really comes down to, I would

550

: 00:20:07

say like holistic health really.

551

: 00:20:09

You know, like we always get

our sun in every single day.

552

: 00:20:12

Even in the winter, we try to go

outside for at least 10 minutes and

553

: 00:20:15

just stand in the sun, get that vitamin

D in first thing in the morning.

554

: 00:20:18

Um, we always move our bodies,

like whether it's a walk or a

555

: 00:20:22

workout, a lift, a workout class.

556

: 00:20:24

It's probably like the first

thing that we do in the morning

557

: 00:20:27

is move our bodies.

558

: 00:20:28

I think it just.

559

: 00:20:29

Helps us more mentally

than it does physically.

560

: 00:20:31

Truly.

561

: 00:20:31

I was gonna

562

: 00:20:31

mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: Yeah.

563

: 00:20:32

squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605: like

number one non-negotiable because you can

564

: 00:20:35

tell if we haven't moved in the morning,

even if it's a nice walk, we got pen up

565

: 00:20:40

energy and it's not always good energy.

566

: 00:20:42

So it's, it's definitely you can tell.

567

: 00:20:44

So that's something that has

just with us for so long.

568

: 00:20:47

We've been in such a habit of

moving our bodies that if we

569

: 00:20:50

don't, we crave it so much.

570

: 00:20:53

So that's like a hundred percent

even if we are traveling.

571

: 00:20:55

Mm-hmm.

572

: 00:20:55

Like we are the people that.

573

: 00:20:56

If we're going to a new

place, we like to walk around.

574

: 00:20:58

We like to, if there is a hotel with a

gym, can we squeeze in a little workout?

575

: 00:21:02

Yeah.

576

: 00:21:03

Not because we want to be skinny,

but because we need it for our

577

: 00:21:07

mental clarity and also just our

578

: 00:21:08

bodies grade it so much.

579

: 00:21:10

Like we know it makes us

better for the rest of the day.

580

: 00:21:12

Yeah.

581

: 00:21:13

Um, I also would say, which you wouldn't

really think is wellness, but Kati

582

: 00:21:17

and I are big believers that it's a

huge part of your wellness routine.

583

: 00:21:20

Prayer.

584

: 00:21:21

Something that we will

never miss in our day.

585

: 00:21:23

Recently, we've been actually

starting our day with it more than.

586

: 00:21:27

a workout and then coming to it.

587

: 00:21:28

We've kind of been finding time

in the morning for it, but we

588

: 00:21:30

personally think prayer is so, like

such a big part of your wellness

589

: 00:21:33

routine because everything in your

life stems from your spiritual life.

590

: 00:21:37

Like that is our big pillar.

591

: 00:21:39

And the workouts, what we eat, everything

is to honor God and to glorify his

592

: 00:21:43

name and to become the best version

of ourselves and who he has in store

593

: 00:21:47

for us, who he wants us to become.

594

: 00:21:49

And prayer is just the foundation

of that because if we're not

595

: 00:21:52

communicating with him, if we don't.

596

: 00:21:54

Talk to him.

597

: 00:21:54

If we're not telling him, you know, our

day to day, we kind of fall away from him.

598

: 00:21:58

Right?

599

: 00:21:59

He's

600

: 00:21:59

never falling away from us.

601

: 00:22:00

We, we place the distance between us.

602

: 00:22:02

So I would say that's probably like the

biggest non-negotiable to make sure we're

603

: 00:22:05

always in tune with what he's asking of us

and just really trying to follow his plan.

604

: 00:22:09

It's probably the number one thing

that helps me, like let go of my plan.

605

: 00:22:13

Like if I go a day without prayer,

I'm like living in my own world,

606

: 00:22:16

grasping, like you said, you said.

607

: 00:22:18

Mm-hmm.

608

: 00:22:18

Grasping on the things I want.

609

: 00:22:19

So.

610

: 00:22:20

I know it doesn't seem like

wellness, but it really is.

611

: 00:22:23

I've been starting my morning and I think

Isabel, you introduced this like very

612

: 00:22:27

short prayer of, Lord, just get in my

head before anything else does today.

613

: 00:22:32

So like I said, I'm a fitness instructor,

so a lot of the mornings I'm waking

614

: 00:22:35

up and I'm going right to the studio.

615

: 00:22:37

So a lot of the time it doesn't

feel like, oh, I have time for

616

: 00:22:41

my own routine in the morning.

617

: 00:22:42

And you know, that's just a

really funny excuse mm-hmm.

618

: 00:22:45

That I make for myself sometimes.

619

: 00:22:46

So recently I've just been

saying that quick prayer.

620

: 00:22:48

I've been asking him, you know,

give me the patience I need today.

621

: 00:22:52

Help me stay calm and present and you

know, capable and all these decisions.

622

: 00:22:56

That is one I have to make,

like whatever it is we're doing.

623

: 00:22:58

And I feel like even just saying

it takes literally like 15 seconds.

624

: 00:23:02

That prayer, sometimes maybe

even less, has helped me so much.

625

: 00:23:05

So if anyone is listening is like, I

don't know how they squeeze all that in.

626

: 00:23:09

I have been there and I've

even just started implementing

627

: 00:23:12

that and it's helped me.

628

: 00:23:13

Even like, see God more throughout my

day and like, see, okay, maybe he's

629

: 00:23:18

testing my patients in this situation.

630

: 00:23:20

Let me channel the strength that

he's giving me right now to stay

631

: 00:23:24

patient, to stay calm and not be so

reactive to this very minor situation

632

: 00:23:29

that doesn't need a reaction.

633

: 00:23:32

mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: No, I love that.

634

: 00:23:32

Thank you for sharing that.

635

: 00:23:34

Yeah.

636

: 00:23:34

Were you gonna say one more time?

637

: 00:23:35

squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605:

I, I can't leave out, like, I

638

: 00:23:37

mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: Bring it on?

639

: 00:23:37

squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605:

I, how did I not mention this?

640

: 00:23:39

Lemon olive oil shot.

641

: 00:23:41

I will say that's like the one

thing I would say in our wellness

642

: 00:23:44

routine that we take every morning.

643

: 00:23:45

mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: Okay.

644

: 00:23:46

squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605:

It's one to two tablespoons of

645

: 00:23:48

olive oil and then half a lemon.

646

: 00:23:50

One, it tastes so good.

647

: 00:23:51

Everyone's like, how

do you even like that?

648

: 00:23:52

I'm like, it taste.

649

: 00:23:53

If you get a good olive oil, it'll taste

650

: 00:23:54

amazing.

651

: 00:23:55

mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: mean, all

652

: 00:23:55

squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605:

need a good olive oil

653

: 00:23:56

mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: yes.

654

: 00:23:56

squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605:

need it to be rich in polyphenol.

655

: 00:23:58

So an cold pressed, extra virgin organic

olive oil is ideal, um, for you to

656

: 00:24:02

really receive the benefits because it's

great for inflammation, for glowy skin,

657

: 00:24:06

mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: Mm-hmm.

658

: 00:24:07

squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605:

everything, like every

659

: 00:24:07

benefit in the book.

660

: 00:24:08

That's what this shot does, and it's

so simple when you just start your day

661

: 00:24:12

with it on an empty stomach and take

that like it's so good for your system.

662

: 00:24:15

would say we swear by that.

663

: 00:24:16

Yeah.

664

: 00:24:17

Another thing that we now crave in

the morning, which it sounds crazy

665

: 00:24:19

to crave olive oil first thing

in the morning, but it is one of

666

: 00:24:22

those things that I love doing.

667

: 00:24:24

It's like, Hmm.

668

: 00:24:24

Nice little, like kick to the morning.

669

: 00:24:27

Yeah.

670

: 00:24:27

That's our type of shot.

671

: 00:24:29

mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: I love it.

672

: 00:24:29

I'm definitely gonna try that.

673

: 00:24:30

I saw that on your guys' page, so I was

hoping you guys were gonna bring that up.

674

: 00:24:33

I'm like, this seems to be

like the thing they stand on.

675

: 00:24:37

squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605:

Yeah.

676

: 00:24:38

mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: so

677

: 00:24:39

squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605: It

really is, and I'm happy that I'm seeing.

678

: 00:24:42

Yeah, I'm having them seeing

people talk about too.

679

: 00:24:44

'cause I'm

680

: 00:24:44

mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: yeah.

681

: 00:24:45

squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605:

this isn't one of those wellness,

682

: 00:24:46

at least for me personally.

683

: 00:24:47

Like I truly love it.

684

: 00:24:48

So

685

: 00:24:48

mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: Yeah.

686

: 00:24:49

squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605:

happy to see other people post it.

687

: 00:24:51

'cause whenever I do, I'm like,

guys, they're not lying to you.

688

: 00:24:53

They're speaking the truth.

689

: 00:24:54

It is.

690

: 00:24:54

Mm-hmm.

691

: 00:24:55

Very beneficial.

692

: 00:24:55

And it's amazing.

693

: 00:24:56

So, well,

694

: 00:24:57

mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: Yeah.

695

: 00:24:58

squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605:

things you can do.

696

: 00:24:58

I feel like everyone, you know, they're so

busy in their days, like, how can I level

697

: 00:25:01

up my health in such like a 32nd thing?

698

: 00:25:04

Lemon olive oil shot.

699

: 00:25:05

It's

700

: 00:25:05

mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: Easy.

701

: 00:25:06

squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605:

complex.

702

: 00:25:06

You can even, like, literally, I

don't know, buy lemon juice if you

703

: 00:25:09

don't even wanna squeeze lemon.

704

: 00:25:09

I was say, it's not like it's $500.

705

: 00:25:11

It's cost per like, effective here.

706

: 00:25:13

It's

707

: 00:25:13

mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: Yes.

708

: 00:25:14

squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605:

Um, other things, other things I think

709

: 00:25:15

that we do just like a few other things.

710

: 00:25:17

mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: Yeah.

711

: 00:25:18

squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605:

plate.

712

: 00:25:18

We do do that every single day.

713

: 00:25:20

Um, we're big fans of it just for

recovery in a terms of workout.

714

: 00:25:23

Like the way that it, you

know, what is it called

715

: 00:25:26

mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: What does it do?

716

: 00:25:28

I, I dunno, anything about it?

717

: 00:25:29

squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605: so

basically when you get on it, it's just

718

: 00:25:31

like a, a small vibration, which like,

I know it looks like you're just like

719

: 00:25:34

shaking your body, but it's actually the.

720

: 00:25:36

Smallness of the vibration that

allows your lymphatic system to

721

: 00:25:40

really wake up and like move the

blood throughout your system.

722

: 00:25:43

So it's really good for dep puffing

and lymphatic drainage just because

723

: 00:25:46

the micro movements of the vibration

on your feet travel all throughout your

724

: 00:25:50

body and really stimulate everything

like up to your armpits underneath the.

725

: 00:25:54

lymph nodes right there.

726

: 00:25:55

So it's really, really good for that.

727

: 00:25:57

It's really great for muscle recovery

and rest just because your muscles are

728

: 00:26:01

constantly, especially when you go to the

gym a lot like you're, you're constantly

729

: 00:26:04

straining them.

730

: 00:26:05

When you're on the vibration plate, you're

not doing any movements that are exactly.

731

: 00:26:09

You know, working your muscles, but

it's kind of a tiny workout for like

732

: 00:26:13

your calfs that you don't even realize.

733

: 00:26:14

So it just loosens them,

like shakes everything out.

734

: 00:26:17

Feels like, it's a great way to put it.

735

: 00:26:19

It shakes everything out.

736

: 00:26:20

So I love doing it like right when we

get home from the gym or even before

737

: 00:26:23

the gym to like wake up my body,

especially if I'm doing a leg day,

738

: 00:26:26

just because it stimulates everything.

739

: 00:26:28

And I honestly, when we first read

about it, I thought it was a scam.

740

: 00:26:31

I was like, there's no way.

741

: 00:26:33

There's no way this plate works.

742

: 00:26:34

Like what is a vibration plate?

743

: 00:26:36

And then we used it for, we did like this

trial, we used it for 30 days and we were

744

: 00:26:40

like, wait, I feel so much different.

745

: 00:26:42

Mm-hmm.

746

: 00:26:43

I feel so much more

like even clear minded.

747

: 00:26:45

I just felt like I didn't know if

it was one of those things that I

748

: 00:26:47

was playing a mental effect on me.

749

: 00:26:49

But I

750

: 00:26:49

just loved it.

751

: 00:26:50

And then I went down the shore

for a week and I didn't have

752

: 00:26:52

it, and I felt so much more.

753

: 00:26:56

like my rings weren't fitting.

754

: 00:26:57

I was like, oh my gosh, why

am I so puffy right now?

755

: 00:26:59

I feel

756

: 00:27:00

mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: Whoa.

757

: 00:27:01

squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605:

And I was like, that's the only thing

758

: 00:27:02

in my routine that changed was that

I didn't have the vibration plate.

759

: 00:27:04

So I feel like we kind

760

: 00:27:05

mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: Dang.

761

: 00:27:06

squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605:

it now too.

762

: 00:27:07

Mm-hmm.

763

: 00:27:07

mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: That's awesome.

764

: 00:27:09

squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605:

But you can do a natural thing where

765

: 00:27:11

you just, like, we don't do the natural

alternative because I can't just stand

766

: 00:27:14

there for like 10 minutes and jump.

767

: 00:27:16

I, I just don't have the up.

768

: 00:27:17

Yeah.

769

: 00:27:18

Like people, you know, like

jump, they like swing their

770

: 00:27:19

arms around, which is great.

771

: 00:27:20

I'm like, listen, if you don't wanna

invest in one, they can be expensive.

772

: 00:27:23

mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: Yeah,

773

: 00:27:24

squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605: like

not looking for another tool in your home,

774

: 00:27:26

mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: sure.

775

: 00:27:27

squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605:

can find natural ways to do it.

776

: 00:27:28

Mm-hmm.

777

: 00:27:28

And I feel like that's is one's

philosophy always is like.

778

: 00:27:31

You can invest in products that

can help and that's amazing.

779

: 00:27:35

But if you're not looking to invest or

you don't have the money for it, it can

780

: 00:27:37

be very cost prohibitive, a lot of things.

781

: 00:27:40

can you find natural ways to

make it something that like,

782

: 00:27:42

okay, if I was traveling I can

shake out my body and do it.

783

: 00:27:45

And you know, you gotta, like you

were saying, even with the non-toxic

784

: 00:27:48

living, like you have to take

these things one day, one step,

785

: 00:27:51

one day at a time with all of it.

786

: 00:27:52

You can't just overwhelm yourself.

787

: 00:27:54

Take all 15 different things

and throw it in your morning.

788

: 00:27:56

'cause your morning will

be chaotic and it's awful.

789

: 00:28:00

mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: Yeah.

790

: 00:28:01

No, totally.

791

: 00:28:02

Well, thanks for sharing all those.

792

: 00:28:03

I definitely am going to look

it up because that, that's

793

: 00:28:06

like pretty hard evidence.

794

: 00:28:07

So I've been seeing it on my Instagram.

795

: 00:28:09

squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605:

I know.

796

: 00:28:10

mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: I really wonder

like what people's experiences with it.

797

: 00:28:13

So it was so cool to hear.

798

: 00:28:15

squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605:

Yeah.

799

: 00:28:16

Yeah,

800

: 00:28:16

mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: So you guys

mentioned a little bit about like, okay,

801

: 00:28:18

you know, when you're buying the olive

oil, it's cold press, it's organic,

802

: 00:28:23

it's, you know, all these things.

803

: 00:28:24

And you're like, yeah, it does cost

a little bit more, but it's worth it.

804

: 00:28:27

So talk to me about your approach to clean

eating, because I know cost constraints

805

: 00:28:31

are a lot of people's, um, hesitation

when it comes to buying good food,

806

: 00:28:36

organic products or the healthier brands.

807

: 00:28:38

What's your guys' approach or philosophy

when it comes to clean eating?

808

: 00:28:43

squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605: I

think even just going off of everything

809

: 00:28:45

we just said, when we look at our

health and everything that we have

810

: 00:28:49

to not have to, but get to invest

in, comes from a place of investment.

811

: 00:28:54

We don't look at it as.

812

: 00:28:56

I look at it as an exchange, right?

813

: 00:28:57

Like if I am investing in organic

produce, it's an exchange for

814

: 00:29:01

my health for the long term.

815

: 00:29:03

It's an exchange for a healthier future.

816

: 00:29:07

I either invest now or I pay later

at the doctors when I'm 60, 70, 80

817

: 00:29:12

years old, and I don't wanna be that.

818

: 00:29:14

And you know, we've, we've been around

so many people, like our grandmother

819

: 00:29:17

was in and outta the hospital, the

doctors, when she got older, and

820

: 00:29:21

we saw what that was like, I don't

wanna be in that position, not.

821

: 00:29:24

Dissing on that, but we were lucky

to have an example of maybe what

822

: 00:29:27

we don't want for our future.

823

: 00:29:29

And I think it can be really hard.

824

: 00:29:30

'cause you know, you go to the store and

it's like when I buy all the organic, or

825

: 00:29:33

like you said, even the healthier brands

of deodorant and skincare, they are more

826

: 00:29:37

expensive.

827

: 00:29:37

And then you go to check out

and you're like, goodness, it

828

: 00:29:40

would be so much cheaper if I

just didn't buy organic grapes.

829

: 00:29:44

Mm-hmm.

830

: 00:29:44

It's literally like a

$3 difference, right?

831

: 00:29:46

And it's like, is this really important?

832

: 00:29:47

But then we go back to all the

knowledge that we've learned about.

833

: 00:29:51

If you don't buy organic, the

pesticides, the just what that's doing

834

: 00:29:55

in your body, and it's a reminder

of like, I'm not wasting money.

835

: 00:29:59

I'm investing money.

836

: 00:30:00

Like, I truthfully feel like

we look at it as if I was

837

: 00:30:03

investing into the stock market.

838

: 00:30:05

Yeah.

839

: 00:30:05

mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: Yeah.

840

: 00:30:05

squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605:

food.

841

: 00:30:06

Yeah.

842

: 00:30:06

And with the products we buy.

843

: 00:30:08

mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: Yeah.

844

: 00:30:08

squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605:

I mean, it's, it's definitely not,

845

: 00:30:10

it's not easy, it's not cheap.

846

: 00:30:11

But we also know, okay, I need

to allocate more money for these

847

: 00:30:15

preferences that I have in terms

of the lifestyle I wanna live.

848

: 00:30:19

Can't spend money every

weekend going to the bar.

849

: 00:30:21

So I spend money here instead

into that type of situation.

850

: 00:30:25

And also feel like you can

approach it in a way of like, I

851

: 00:30:28

don't need to buy it all either.

852

: 00:30:30

You know what I mean?

853

: 00:30:31

Like you can make a lot of things at home.

854

: 00:30:34

Like for example, peanut butter

healthier or organic, peanut

855

: 00:30:37

butter is more expensive.

856

: 00:30:38

The jars, sometimes I go

and I'm like, this is crazy.

857

: 00:30:41

I can buy a bag of organic peanuts.

858

: 00:30:43

Roast them myself if I want to,

or just blend them in a blender.

859

: 00:30:46

And I feel like you, once you realize

you can do a lot yourself too,

860

: 00:30:50

it all, it makes it more

manageable in terms of money.

861

: 00:30:52

I mean, I know it's hard, it's also

very like person specific, but I get it.

862

: 00:30:56

It's just that like flip of the

script in your mind of, is this

863

: 00:31:00

worthy investment for my future?

864

: 00:31:02

I really have to put my

future self into perspective.

865

: 00:31:04

Mm-hmm.

866

: 00:31:04

Because you're not gonna

see the benefits right now.

867

: 00:31:06

Like, I think that's the hardest thing to

get over is you're spending more money,

868

: 00:31:09

but you're not gonna see the, the result

of that money being spent right now.

869

: 00:31:12

You'll see it in the future when you

are healthy, when you can pick up your

870

: 00:31:15

grandchildren, when you can go on 10 mile

walks like that is really where it shows.

871

: 00:31:19

So it's almost like putting

aside that instantly gratifying

872

: 00:31:22

solution and really delaying the

gratification for the long term.

873

: 00:31:26

Future is what I like to say.

874

: 00:31:27

And just making it a priority, I

feel like, which always kind of

875

: 00:31:30

sounds harsh because you know, I

don't know everyone's circumstances,

876

: 00:31:33

but really making it a priority.

877

: 00:31:35

Where are you spending your money?

878

: 00:31:36

You know, can you afford to get

your nails done this month, but you

879

: 00:31:39

mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: Right.

880

: 00:31:40

squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605:

nice groceries.

881

: 00:31:40

I know that sounds really

harsh, but it's like

882

: 00:31:42

mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: No.

883

: 00:31:43

squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605:

to ask myself

884

: 00:31:43

mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: Yeah,

885

: 00:31:44

squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605:

If I'm getting my

886

: 00:31:45

mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: I.

887

: 00:31:45

squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605: done

like that is my priority over my health.

888

: 00:31:48

Mm-hmm.

889

: 00:31:48

I need to really start respecting and

honoring this body God gave me by fueling

890

: 00:31:52

it properly, by caring about what I put in

then rather than focusing on my physical

891

: 00:31:56

appearance and the external world and,

and what I wanna look like in this world.

892

: 00:32:00

So I just feel like really honing

in on what is your true priority and

893

: 00:32:03

focusing your attention there also

allows you to almost make that investment

894

: 00:32:07

a little bit easier when you give

yourself that hard truth, at least.

895

: 00:32:10

mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: Yeah, totally.

896

: 00:32:11

And I think that it is an absolutely valid

question to ask because there are so many,

897

: 00:32:16

just like al already, like consumeristic

standards that our culture has already.

898

: 00:32:20

And so it's like, yeah, we're spending

a hundred bucks on yoga pants, we're

899

: 00:32:23

spending, you know, 80 bucks on getting

our nails done every month or hundreds

900

: 00:32:27

of dollars on our hair or whatever.

901

: 00:32:30

And so when you really ask yourself

like, okay, what are the priorities.

902

: 00:32:34

And view it as an investment as you're

saying, like, then you really start to

903

: 00:32:39

make some decisions there and it starts

to make sense why you're gonna put your

904

: 00:32:43

dollars there versus somewhere else.

905

: 00:32:45

Um, if you had to pick and choose,

one thing my dad always said was like,

906

: 00:32:49

you're either going to spend the money

on good food or you're going to spend

907

: 00:32:54

the money in medical bills later.

908

: 00:32:55

Like you, you pick.

909

: 00:32:57

And our, especially American

society, I think like really

910

: 00:33:01

proves that, um, given just like.

911

: 00:33:04

All the disease that we have in

our country, so super important.

912

: 00:33:08

Hopefully that's encouraging to people,

although I know it's sometimes kind

913

: 00:33:11

of like a, like a hard truth to hear.

914

: 00:33:13

squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605:

Yeah, yeah, exactly.

915

: 00:33:14

And it doesn't make it easy,

easier knowing that too, but it's

916

: 00:33:18

mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: Yeah.

917

: 00:33:18

squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605:

reminding yourself and just take

918

: 00:33:19

it like, like we keep saying,

919

: 00:33:21

mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: Yeah.

920

: 00:33:22

squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605:

thing at a time.

921

: 00:33:22

mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: Mm-hmm.

922

: 00:33:23

squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605:

You don't have to have the perfect

923

: 00:33:24

grocery hall every single time.

924

: 00:33:26

Take it one product at a time,

make the swap one thing at a time,

925

: 00:33:29

mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: Yeah.

926

: 00:33:30

squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605:

it just becomes such second nature

927

: 00:33:31

that becomes a non-negotiable for you.

928

: 00:33:35

mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: Yeah.

929

: 00:33:36

So what about like ingredient labels?

930

: 00:33:38

What are some of the red flag

ingredients you guys look for on food

931

: 00:33:41

labels and recommend avoiding, so our

listeners can just kind of walk away

932

: 00:33:45

with a couple things to look for.

933

: 00:33:47

squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605:

Yeah, I would say the number one

934

: 00:33:49

thing that we like see right away and

935

: 00:33:51

mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: I.

936

: 00:33:51

squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605:

product down immediately is seed oils.

937

: 00:33:53

I know that one's talked

about a lot, but they are just

938

: 00:33:56

absolutely terrible for your body.

939

: 00:33:57

Like there is not one

beneficial seed oil out there.

940

: 00:34:00

They are so high in Omega six fats, which.

941

: 00:34:03

Too much like your body needs

omega six fats, but when you have

942

: 00:34:06

too much of them, it causes an

intense amount of inflammation,

943

: 00:34:09

which leads to thing like diseases.

944

: 00:34:10

That was the leading

cause of our mom's ms.

945

: 00:34:12

Right?

946

: 00:34:13

So when we intake too much of those

fats, we're putting our body into.

947

: 00:34:17

Really a fight or flight mode

into inflammation mode, into just

948

: 00:34:20

like an unhealthy way to live.

949

: 00:34:22

So anytime we see those in an, in

a, on a label, just an immediately

950

: 00:34:26

put down, because they're highly

processed with high temperatures and

951

: 00:34:29

a high vat, like we don't need that.

952

: 00:34:31

Our mom always reminds us that

canola oils existed for car engines.

953

: 00:34:36

Literally she's, she's

like, this became a thing.

954

: 00:34:40

Forever ago to be used for car engines

and now we're putting it in our food.

955

: 00:34:44

Mm-hmm.

956

: 00:34:45

you're not digesting, that, your

body's not getting rid of that.

957

: 00:34:48

So that's like our number one.

958

: 00:34:50

And I feel like that even

started like reading labels.

959

: 00:34:53

It started with seed oils for us.

960

: 00:34:54

Yeah.

961

: 00:34:54

So I always say that can be a very

simple thing if you don't know

962

: 00:34:57

what anything else is, that's okay.

963

: 00:34:59

Names can be crazy on labels.

964

: 00:35:01

It's like, wait, what the heck is that?

965

: 00:35:02

If you see anything that's a

seed oil, just put it down.

966

: 00:35:05

That's canola oil.

967

: 00:35:06

Sunflower oil, safflower oil.

968

: 00:35:09

Peanut oil.

969

: 00:35:10

Soybean oil.

970

: 00:35:11

Yeah.

971

: 00:35:11

So try and stick to

avocado, oil, vegetable.

972

: 00:35:14

Yeah, that's bad.

973

: 00:35:15

Um, so try and stick to avocado oil

or extra virgin olive oil, coconut

974

: 00:35:18

oil, beef towel, things like that.

975

: 00:35:21

In,

976

: 00:35:21

mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: Yeah.

977

: 00:35:23

squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605:

the better are definitely much better.

978

: 00:35:24

And a lot of people will say that

those are higher in calories or higher

979

: 00:35:27

in fats, but they're fats that your

body wants is what I always say.

980

: 00:35:30

Mm-hmm.

981

: 00:35:30

You can't really pay attention.

982

: 00:35:32

It's, it's more important to

drop the weight of calories.

983

: 00:35:35

Like if you're, if you're,

you know what I mean?

984

: 00:35:36

Like, if you're, okay, I want a lower

calorie item, but it's worse ingredients,

985

: 00:35:40

what's the, what's even the benefit there?

986

: 00:35:42

Mm-hmm.

987

: 00:35:42

mcw_2_04-14-2026_110606: Yeah,

988

: 00:35:42

squadcaster-b37c_2_04-14-2026_130605:

more calories for better ingredients

989

: 00:35:44

because that's, that's more optimal

for my health and my body's function.

990

: 00:35:47

So I always stand by that too.

991

: 00:35:49

I would say another ingredient is.

992

: 00:35:51

Artificial.

993

: 00:35:52

No, not artificial flavors.

994

: 00:35:53

What is it?

995

: 00:35:53

Yeah, food dies.

996

: 00:35:54

Food dies.

997

: 00:35:54

Food dies.

998

: 00:35:55

gonna say artificial

flavors, those are bad too.

999

: 00:35:57

Um, but food dies really just because

that is pretty much in everything.

: 1000

00:36:01,744 --> 00:36:01,964

-: 2026

: 1001

00:36:02,034 --> 00:36:04,734

-: 2026

Yellow five, red 40, blue 40, all

: 1002

00:36:04,734 --> 00:36:08,874

these dyes that are think of it as

like a chemical bomb for your stomach.

: 1003

00:36:08,874 --> 00:36:08,934

So.

: 1004

00:36:10,419 --> 00:36:13,659

A food could be healthy and then it has

that die, it's immediately unhealthy,

: 1005

00:36:13,659 --> 00:36:15,339

like it's just really bad for you.

: 1006

00:36:15,579 --> 00:36:18,999

Um, they, they also have like a ton of

side effects on your brain and mental

: 1007

00:36:18,999 --> 00:36:21,639

health in children, especially, I

say especially in children, like

: 1008

00:36:21,639 --> 00:36:23,169

you see children eating Skittles

: 1009

00:36:23,319 --> 00:36:25,549

and there'll be, uh, one, like one kid.

: 1010

00:36:26,289 --> 00:36:29,049

Before then they eat the Skittles and

they're like a completely different child.

: 1011

00:36:29,139 --> 00:36:29,289

And

: 1012

00:36:29,349 --> 00:36:29,769

-: 2026

: 1013

00:36:29,829 --> 00:36:30,789

-: 2026

food dyes are sending

: 1014

00:36:30,789 --> 00:36:32,169

them in a complete spiral.

: 1015

00:36:32,169 --> 00:36:34,479

Their brain doesn't even

know how to comprehend it.

: 1016

00:36:34,479 --> 00:36:35,709

Their body can't function.

: 1017

00:36:35,859 --> 00:36:37,329

So it's really scary.

: 1018

00:36:37,329 --> 00:36:39,699

Like food dyes are, are

genuinely really scary.

: 1019

00:36:39,699 --> 00:36:42,819

And they're so easy to avoid because

there's a lot of things out there that you

: 1020

00:36:42,819 --> 00:36:46,209

just don't need it colored, you know, like

you don't need colored icing on your cake.

: 1021

00:36:46,419 --> 00:36:49,929

Just have white, just have a,

a classic, um, buttercream.

: 1022

00:36:50,109 --> 00:36:52,809

Um, and there's also things like

spirulina or even just like.

: 1023

00:36:53,094 --> 00:36:56,034

Freeze dried strawberries that

people use to color stuff these days.

: 1024

00:36:56,044 --> 00:36:56,304

So there's

: 1025

00:36:56,344 --> 00:36:56,634

-: 2026

: 1026

00:36:56,634 --> 00:36:58,104

-: 2026

lot of alternatives out there for

: 1027

00:36:58,104 --> 00:36:58,374

that.

: 1028

00:36:58,374 --> 00:37:02,804

Um, I even feel like there, this is

becoming, like with RFK, I feel like food

: 1029

00:37:03,104 --> 00:37:03,524

-: 2026

: 1030

00:37:03,564 --> 00:37:05,154

-: 2026

number one thing he tackled.

: 1031

00:37:05,214 --> 00:37:09,924

So I'm seeing so many movements even in

big brands that do use them, like not

: 1032

00:37:09,924 --> 00:37:11,454

putting it in their cereals anymore.

: 1033

00:37:11,454 --> 00:37:12,954

And it's really cool to see that.

: 1034

00:37:13,134 --> 00:37:15,309

So now I feel like we're finally making.

: 1035

00:37:15,609 --> 00:37:15,884

-: 2026

: 1036

00:37:16,184 --> 00:37:17,469

-: 2026

good strides in this area.

: 1037

00:37:17,469 --> 00:37:17,559

Mm-hmm.

: 1038

00:37:17,799 --> 00:37:20,349

And you know, like the other day we

were using sprinkles for one of our

: 1039

00:37:20,349 --> 00:37:23,769

Easter traditions of decorating these,

you know, Easter dolls that we make.

: 1040

00:37:24,129 --> 00:37:28,269

And we got ones from Whole Foods that they

were, the green ones had spirulina and the

: 1041

00:37:28,269 --> 00:37:30,579

red ones had like, red, had beet powder.

: 1042

00:37:30,579 --> 00:37:31,539

And you don't taste it at all.

: 1043

00:37:31,569 --> 00:37:32,379

It tastes like a sprinkle.

: 1044

00:37:32,379 --> 00:37:33,699

They're so sugar in it.

: 1045

00:37:33,969 --> 00:37:35,529

But it was looked just as beautiful.

: 1046

00:37:35,529 --> 00:37:39,579

And I feel like, like as well said, when

you realize that there are alternatives,

: 1047

00:37:39,579 --> 00:37:43,269

it's just, make the alternative, try

and make the switch where you can.

: 1048

00:37:43,989 --> 00:37:49,269

One more ingredient I wanna call out

is Caran, just because that is a really

: 1049

00:37:49,269 --> 00:37:53,769

gut disturbing ingredient that is

actually in a lot of healthy foods.

: 1050

00:37:53,769 --> 00:37:57,339

So like it's probably in your milk, it's

probably in your cream cheese or your

: 1051

00:37:57,339 --> 00:37:59,329

butter because it's an emulsifier it.

: 1052

00:38:00,699 --> 00:38:02,769

Elongates shelf life

for a lot of products.

: 1053

00:38:02,769 --> 00:38:06,039

So, you know, your milk doesn't go

bad because it has that carine in it.

: 1054

00:38:06,279 --> 00:38:09,729

Versus if you're drinking an A two

a two whole milk that's low temp

: 1055

00:38:09,729 --> 00:38:12,429

pasteurized, it's not gonna have that,

which means it's probably gonna spoil

: 1056

00:38:12,429 --> 00:38:14,169

a little bit quicker in your fridge.

: 1057

00:38:14,169 --> 00:38:15,159

So you have to consume it.

: 1058

00:38:15,159 --> 00:38:16,329

And, and people don't like doing that.

: 1059

00:38:16,329 --> 00:38:19,179

You know, they wanna buy milk for

two weeks and have it last, but it,

: 1060

00:38:19,239 --> 00:38:24,159

it has that carne in it that is just

a really gut disrupting chemical

: 1061

00:38:24,249 --> 00:38:25,239

that you're putting into your body.

: 1062

00:38:25,239 --> 00:38:26,979

And like anytime you disrupt your gut.

: 1063

00:38:27,009 --> 00:38:30,279

If your gut is directly linked to

your brain, so if your gut health is

: 1064

00:38:30,279 --> 00:38:32,749

bad, your brain health is bad, and

I think a lot of times people think.

: 1065

00:38:33,474 --> 00:38:36,744

is a little bit of a side tangent, but

you know, they think their anxiety or

: 1066

00:38:36,744 --> 00:38:40,464

their depression or you know, their

stress levels, they think it comes from

: 1067

00:38:40,644 --> 00:38:44,754

the things happening in their life, but

it's really enabled by their gut health

: 1068

00:38:44,754 --> 00:38:49,014

because they're handling the things of

this world a lot worse because of the

: 1069

00:38:49,014 --> 00:38:51,714

ingredients that they're putting into

their body that are actually affecting

: 1070

00:38:51,894 --> 00:38:53,784

how their brain responds to things.

: 1071

00:38:53,904 --> 00:38:57,264

And it's things like car

milk, in our butter, that.

: 1072

00:38:57,764 --> 00:39:01,304

You know, disturbs our gut and allows us

to react in a negative way, to see the

: 1073

00:39:01,304 --> 00:39:05,564

bad, to focus on the depressing aspects

of life instead of seeing the good, which

: 1074

00:39:05,564 --> 00:39:08,624

I know sounds so crazy, but if you look

it up in a textbook, they're directly

: 1075

00:39:08,624 --> 00:39:09,944

connected, your brain and your gut.

: 1076

00:39:09,944 --> 00:39:10,034

Mm-hmm.

: 1077

00:39:10,274 --> 00:39:12,734

So it's like the number one thing to

take care of is your gut, and that's

: 1078

00:39:12,734 --> 00:39:16,634

why all the ingredients matter,

because your gut stems from what

: 1079

00:39:16,634 --> 00:39:17,564

you're putting into it, obviously.

: 1080

00:39:17,564 --> 00:39:17,654

Mm-hmm.

: 1081

00:39:17,894 --> 00:39:20,714

So you wanna make sure you're

prioritizing that health above any other

: 1082

00:39:20,714 --> 00:39:22,034

health healthy aspect of your body.

: 1083

00:39:22,794 --> 00:39:25,944

just the number one thing when

you're in the grocery store, we can't

: 1084

00:39:25,944 --> 00:39:27,324

trust these food brands like you.

: 1085

00:39:27,324 --> 00:39:30,924

Really, even some of the healthier

ones, you know, they switch up

: 1086

00:39:30,924 --> 00:39:32,304

once they get big and we've.

: 1087

00:39:32,679 --> 00:39:36,189

Come across brands that we were using,

and then all of a sudden they changed

: 1088

00:39:36,189 --> 00:39:40,539

from extra virgin olive oil to a seed oil

because it's more cost prohibitive for

: 1089

00:39:40,559 --> 00:39:40,909

-: 2026

: 1090

00:39:41,209 --> 00:39:43,269

-: 2026

just remember, you can't trust anything.

: 1091

00:39:43,299 --> 00:39:44,949

Just flip it over and read it.

: 1092

00:39:45,069 --> 00:39:45,189

Mm-hmm.

: 1093

00:39:45,609 --> 00:39:47,409

You might spend more time

in the grocery store.

: 1094

00:39:47,409 --> 00:39:51,099

We, in the beginning, we, I felt like I

was there for hours reading every labels.

: 1095

00:39:51,099 --> 00:39:52,569

I felt like an insane person.

: 1096

00:39:52,809 --> 00:39:54,939

Now it's just such second nature.

: 1097

00:39:55,089 --> 00:39:56,469

Also like stick to the perimeters.

: 1098

00:39:56,469 --> 00:39:59,619

Nine times outta 10, you won't even have

a label to read, which is beautiful.

: 1099

00:39:59,859 --> 00:40:01,449

But if you're gonna read a label.

: 1100

00:40:02,649 --> 00:40:07,359

just those three things are definitely

the, I feel like our biggest immediate,

: 1101

00:40:07,359 --> 00:40:09,129

I don't even read the rest of the label.

: 1102

00:40:09,129 --> 00:40:11,259

I immediately put it down

if I see any of those.

: 1103

00:40:12,174 --> 00:40:12,624

-: 2026

: 1104

00:40:12,669 --> 00:40:14,529

-: 2026

do have a post on our, on our Instagram

: 1105

00:40:14,529 --> 00:40:17,859

too, just of like other ingredients that

we, I feel like we could touch on it for

: 1106

00:40:17,859 --> 00:40:20,739

like hours, so I'm like, if you guys need

more reference from it, we post a lot

: 1107

00:40:20,739 --> 00:40:22,089

of that stuff on our Instagram as well.

: 1108

00:40:22,779 --> 00:40:23,379

-: 2026

: 1109

00:40:23,559 --> 00:40:25,479

That was such good insight you guys.

: 1110

00:40:25,479 --> 00:40:28,899

Thank you for sharing

like such helpful things.

: 1111

00:40:28,899 --> 00:40:30,339

I love the little call out there.

: 1112

00:40:30,339 --> 00:40:34,599

Stay on the perimeter of the grocery store

and you'll be a little bit safer there.

: 1113

00:40:34,599 --> 00:40:36,039

That's so, that's so true.

: 1114

00:40:36,369 --> 00:40:38,229

And then even just those

couple ingredients.

: 1115

00:40:39,219 --> 00:40:42,669

Hearing you guys say that, I'm like,

that is so easy because those are

: 1116

00:40:42,669 --> 00:40:45,729

so widely used in so many products.

: 1117

00:40:45,729 --> 00:40:49,059

And so I mean it, it's gonna suck

at first because you're gonna turn

: 1118

00:40:49,059 --> 00:40:52,869

every product over that you probably

already know and eat and love,

: 1119

00:40:52,922 --> 00:40:54,159

and you're gonna be like, shoot.

: 1120

00:40:54,459 --> 00:40:58,059

But what it does is that it helps

you start to learn how much is

: 1121

00:40:58,059 --> 00:41:00,639

actually canceled out instead of.

: 1122

00:41:00,694 --> 00:41:04,714

Like looking for something that's like

hard to find and it kind of just reminds

: 1123

00:41:04,714 --> 00:41:07,594

me like when it comes to non-toxic

products, like for your home and for

: 1124

00:41:07,594 --> 00:41:10,534

your body, like personal care products,

my number one thing is fragrance.

: 1125

00:41:10,534 --> 00:41:12,814

Like if it says fragrance, don't use it.

: 1126

00:41:12,814 --> 00:41:17,884

And 99% of things, I swear that we

all used to have in our house, but

: 1127

00:41:17,884 --> 00:41:20,584

that fragrance in it, and so it

just makes it a really easy thing.

: 1128

00:41:20,664 --> 00:41:22,114

-: 2026

like the candle queen,

: 1129

00:41:22,414 --> 00:41:22,774

-: 2026

: 1130

00:41:22,859 --> 00:41:22,979

-: 2026

: 1131

00:41:23,074 --> 00:41:23,644

-: 2026

: 1132

00:41:23,664 --> 00:41:25,974

-: 2026

candle queen over here, I,

: 1133

00:41:25,974 --> 00:41:27,594

and I had to sacrifice it.

: 1134

00:41:27,664 --> 00:41:28,474

-: 2026

: 1135

00:41:28,554 --> 00:41:28,974

-: 2026

was so

: 1136

00:41:28,989 --> 00:41:29,189

-: 2026

: 1137

00:41:29,544 --> 00:41:30,234

-: 2026

to put down.

: 1138

00:41:30,234 --> 00:41:30,834

But once I read

: 1139

00:41:30,834 --> 00:41:31,284

-: 2026

: 1140

00:41:31,464 --> 00:41:32,064

-: 2026

I was like, get

: 1141

00:41:32,124 --> 00:41:32,664

-: 2026

: 1142

00:41:32,699 --> 00:41:33,264

-: 2026

here, outta here.

: 1143

00:41:33,264 --> 00:41:35,574

Now if we smell a candle,

I get an instant headache

: 1144

00:41:35,934 --> 00:41:36,684

-: 2026

: 1145

00:41:36,804 --> 00:41:37,374

-: 2026

wild.

: 1146

00:41:37,379 --> 00:41:37,459

Mm-hmm.

: 1147

00:41:38,124 --> 00:41:39,714

-: 2026

non-toxic candles are a little bit

: 1148

00:41:39,714 --> 00:41:44,214

more expensive, so I, I used to

love candles too, and I very slowly

: 1149

00:41:44,214 --> 00:41:45,984

invest in non-toxic candles now

: 1150

00:41:46,204 --> 00:41:46,419

-: 2026

Yeah.

: 1151

00:41:46,419 --> 00:41:46,854

-: 2026

: 1152

00:41:46,989 --> 00:41:48,459

-: 2026

we don't burn them as often.

: 1153

00:41:48,459 --> 00:41:50,619

We definitely pull back

from light in that wick.

: 1154

00:41:50,654 --> 00:41:50,874

Yes.

: 1155

00:41:51,174 --> 00:41:51,654

-: 2026

: 1156

00:41:51,654 --> 00:41:52,344

Exactly.

: 1157

00:41:52,674 --> 00:41:53,484

Well, okay.

: 1158

00:41:53,484 --> 00:41:57,444

One thing I kind of just wanna wrap

up our conversation with is just a

: 1159

00:41:57,444 --> 00:42:02,784

conversation about discipline, because

in the end, making all these decisions

: 1160

00:42:02,784 --> 00:42:04,314

and changing your lifestyle takes.

: 1161

00:42:05,079 --> 00:42:08,979

Discipline and I was, I was

looking through your guys' content.

: 1162

00:42:08,979 --> 00:42:14,379

I feel like that, uh, virtue just kind

of is a theme in what you guys are doing.

: 1163

00:42:14,379 --> 00:42:17,529

Whether you outwardly try to put it

out there or not, it comes across

: 1164

00:42:17,529 --> 00:42:19,599

very well and it's very inspiring.

: 1165

00:42:19,599 --> 00:42:24,789

So what do you guys have to share about,

like, how do you build up discipline?

: 1166

00:42:24,969 --> 00:42:27,339

'cause it's something that a

lot of people struggle with.

: 1167

00:42:27,774 --> 00:42:28,194

-: 2026

: 1168

00:42:28,614 --> 00:42:29,664

Uh, first of all, thank you.

: 1169

00:42:29,754 --> 00:42:30,504

Yeah, I appreciate that.

: 1170

00:42:30,504 --> 00:42:32,034

I'm very happy that that comes across and.

: 1171

00:42:33,144 --> 00:42:37,224

Because it's so naturally in our life,

it naturally comes out in our content,

: 1172

00:42:37,524 --> 00:42:37,814

-: 2026

: 1173

00:42:38,114 --> 00:42:40,404

-: 2026

but it was not always that way.

: 1174

00:42:40,404 --> 00:42:44,034

I think some people think, oh, I

just need to be disciplined and

: 1175

00:42:44,034 --> 00:42:45,474

then everything will be okay.

: 1176

00:42:45,924 --> 00:42:49,974

Discipline is a constant decision

that you make every single day.

: 1177

00:42:50,334 --> 00:42:51,624

It's not an easy decision.

: 1178

00:42:51,684 --> 00:42:55,074

Nine times outta 10, it doesn't

matter how much I work out.

: 1179

00:42:55,074 --> 00:42:56,879

There are still mornings

where I wake up and I'm like.

: 1180

00:42:58,149 --> 00:43:01,449

I really don't feel like doing it, but

I know it's gonna be better in the end.

: 1181

00:43:01,449 --> 00:43:05,019

I never regret a workout, but it

takes a lot for me to get outta bed

: 1182

00:43:05,019 --> 00:43:06,549

sometimes and be able to wanna do that.

: 1183

00:43:06,549 --> 00:43:11,049

It takes that discipline, but is one, I

always say we feel our most confident.

: 1184

00:43:11,049 --> 00:43:15,219

We feel our best in our bodies,

in our mind, just in life when we

: 1185

00:43:15,219 --> 00:43:16,989

are disciplined because we know.

: 1186

00:43:17,619 --> 00:43:19,869

It's translating to all these other areas.

: 1187

00:43:19,869 --> 00:43:24,934

So it's not just being disciplined in

the gym, it's what does that bleed into?

: 1188

00:43:25,047 --> 00:43:25,254

Mm-hmm.

: 1189

00:43:25,334 --> 00:43:29,319

And that when I am working out and

I'm taking care of my body physically,

: 1190

00:43:29,529 --> 00:43:30,969

well, I want to eat healthy too.

: 1191

00:43:30,969 --> 00:43:34,629

And then when I'm eating healthy,

I want to, it just translates,

: 1192

00:43:34,629 --> 00:43:35,499

oh, I wanna be more active.

: 1193

00:43:35,499 --> 00:43:37,269

And then I'm, all of a sudden

I'm paying attention to the

: 1194

00:43:37,269 --> 00:43:39,459

products I'm putting on my body.

: 1195

00:43:39,489 --> 00:43:42,159

'cause I'm like, well, why would I wear

perfume or, and light these candles

: 1196

00:43:42,159 --> 00:43:45,339

if I'm buying the non-organic grapes?

: 1197

00:43:45,339 --> 00:43:46,689

Like what it, it feels.

: 1198

00:43:47,394 --> 00:43:48,084

Counterintuitive.

: 1199

00:43:48,084 --> 00:43:49,524

I'm like, it doesn't

make sense to do this.

: 1200

00:43:49,524 --> 00:43:52,614

So I feel like we just start

in one area and then it,

: 1201

00:43:52,614 --> 00:43:54,684

because it impacts everything.

: 1202

00:43:54,684 --> 00:43:56,334

Like then it impacts our faith and

: 1203

00:43:56,814 --> 00:43:58,404

going on a prayer walk every day.

: 1204

00:43:58,404 --> 00:44:00,954

There's a lot of times when I don't

feel like praying when I put my

: 1205

00:44:00,954 --> 00:44:03,594

head on the pillow at night and

I'm like, oh, I didn't, I didn't

: 1206

00:44:03,594 --> 00:44:05,244

like, have my long in-depth prayer.

: 1207

00:44:05,244 --> 00:44:07,404

And I'm like, discipline.

: 1208

00:44:07,404 --> 00:44:08,979

Discipline needs to kick in right now,

: 1209

00:44:09,279 --> 00:44:09,519

-: 2026

: 1210

00:44:09,624 --> 00:44:10,704

-: 2026

a five minute prayer.

: 1211

00:44:11,094 --> 00:44:12,444

You won't regret praying to God.

: 1212

00:44:12,444 --> 00:44:14,064

You won't regret this

conversation with him.

: 1213

00:44:14,064 --> 00:44:14,874

So just do it.

: 1214

00:44:14,874 --> 00:44:15,744

And you know what?

: 1215

00:44:15,804 --> 00:44:19,224

I even hate saying that sometimes, that

sometimes I don't wanna do it, but it

: 1216

00:44:19,419 --> 00:44:19,509

-: 2026

: 1217

00:44:19,734 --> 00:44:20,454

-: 2026

I'm only human.

: 1218

00:44:20,454 --> 00:44:20,994

I'm tired.

: 1219

00:44:20,994 --> 00:44:21,804

I wanna go to bed.

: 1220

00:44:23,019 --> 00:44:24,429

it takes five minutes.

: 1221

00:44:24,429 --> 00:44:25,869

It doesn't even, it could take one minute.

: 1222

00:44:25,869 --> 00:44:29,259

And I just feel like you need to

get in the habit of making the hard

: 1223

00:44:29,259 --> 00:44:31,179

decision to make your life easier.

: 1224

00:44:31,239 --> 00:44:31,764

Yeah, and

: 1225

00:44:31,789 --> 00:44:31,909

-: 2026

: 1226

00:44:32,019 --> 00:44:33,279

-: 2026

and one thing I would really add

: 1227

00:44:33,279 --> 00:44:37,089

to that is I think it's really

important to have a strong why

: 1228

00:44:37,119 --> 00:44:39,519

behind why you're being disciplined.

: 1229

00:44:39,699 --> 00:44:40,124

Like if you are.

: 1230

00:44:40,934 --> 00:44:44,534

You wanna start being disciplined with the

gym and you want to go, but your why is I

: 1231

00:44:44,534 --> 00:44:46,184

wanna look good in a bikini this summer.

: 1232

00:44:46,364 --> 00:44:46,994

I dunno about you.

: 1233

00:44:46,994 --> 00:44:48,134

That's not strong enough for me.

: 1234

00:44:48,164 --> 00:44:50,294

That's not a reason that's gonna

get me out of the door in the

: 1235

00:44:50,294 --> 00:44:52,784

morning when I hinge my why on God.

: 1236

00:44:52,784 --> 00:44:54,914

And I say, you know, God gave

me this temple of a body.

: 1237

00:44:55,779 --> 00:44:57,699

give it to me to sit

and sit still all day.

: 1238

00:44:57,759 --> 00:45:00,669

He gave it to me to go move to

fuel properly to take care of.

: 1239

00:45:00,849 --> 00:45:03,609

That's a really strong why for me

because I don't wanna let God down.

: 1240

00:45:03,609 --> 00:45:06,429

So you know, I'm getting my butt out

of the door that morning and I'm going

: 1241

00:45:06,429 --> 00:45:07,924

to the gym and I'm going on that walk.

: 1242

00:45:07,959 --> 00:45:11,949

So I just feel like

establishing a true, real why.

: 1243

00:45:11,949 --> 00:45:14,019

Maybe your why is you do

wanna lose a few pounds.

: 1244

00:45:14,019 --> 00:45:16,449

I'm not not judging you for

that, of course, but you just

: 1245

00:45:16,449 --> 00:45:17,509

need to make sure your why is.

: 1246

00:45:17,979 --> 00:45:21,909

True and accurate, and you're being honest

with yourself about it, and you remind

: 1247

00:45:21,909 --> 00:45:25,209

yourself of that on the mornings that you

don't wanna be disciplined in any moment,

: 1248

00:45:25,209 --> 00:45:26,319

that you don't wanna be disciplined.

: 1249

00:45:26,619 --> 00:45:28,329

I always like to say the

devil hates discipline.

: 1250

00:45:28,509 --> 00:45:31,959

Like he hates discipline because

it's, it's you pushing yourself

: 1251

00:45:31,959 --> 00:45:35,349

past this instantly gratifying

option and choosing the hard road.

: 1252

00:45:35,349 --> 00:45:39,039

And the hard road always pays

off hard now, easy later.

: 1253

00:45:39,159 --> 00:45:42,369

And I just remind myself of that in every

single difficult moment because it's

: 1254

00:45:42,369 --> 00:45:43,719

what gets me through the door and it's.

: 1255

00:45:44,124 --> 00:45:45,444

Ultimately so rewarding.

: 1256

00:45:45,444 --> 00:45:46,854

Like it feels so good when

: 1257

00:45:46,939 --> 00:45:47,229

-: 2026

: 1258

00:45:47,874 --> 00:45:48,684

-: 2026

that you didn't wanna do.

: 1259

00:45:48,684 --> 00:45:50,004

It feels so good when you do something.

: 1260

00:45:50,009 --> 00:45:50,994

That's how you build confidence.

: 1261

00:45:50,994 --> 00:45:53,634

Yeah, it's, it's so hard, but it's

like there's so much beauty in how

: 1262

00:45:53,634 --> 00:45:55,284

hard it is and then achieving it's.

: 1263

00:45:56,019 --> 00:45:57,789

feel on top of the

world, you feel amazing.

: 1264

00:45:57,789 --> 00:46:00,759

You're like, thank you, God, for giving

me the ability and the discipline

: 1265

00:46:00,759 --> 00:46:02,409

and the perseverance to do this.

: 1266

00:46:02,529 --> 00:46:05,912

So it's something you actually, it

may be really hard in the beginning

: 1267

00:46:06,129 --> 00:46:07,359

to start practicing discipline.

: 1268

00:46:07,359 --> 00:46:08,439

Like I don't think it's gonna be easy.

: 1269

00:46:08,439 --> 00:46:10,689

I think people are just like, I

wanna be disciplined, and they

: 1270

00:46:10,689 --> 00:46:11,979

expect it to come naturally.

: 1271

00:46:12,069 --> 00:46:13,449

It's gonna be really

hard in the beginning.

: 1272

00:46:13,449 --> 00:46:17,799

It's gonna stink, but eventually,

after repetition and repetition, you're

: 1273

00:46:17,799 --> 00:46:20,649

gonna look forward to being disciplined

because you're gonna associate it with.

: 1274

00:46:20,959 --> 00:46:23,479

Feeling your best and showing

up when you don't wanna show up.

: 1275

00:46:23,479 --> 00:46:26,449

And that's a really good feeling,

and it's what I remind myself of.

: 1276

00:46:27,594 --> 00:46:27,924

-: 2026

: 1277

00:46:27,984 --> 00:46:28,644

That's so good.

: 1278

00:46:28,644 --> 00:46:32,334

I love that you were saying like choose

a hard thing now because it makes your

: 1279

00:46:32,334 --> 00:46:34,614

life easier or it makes your life better.

: 1280

00:46:34,794 --> 00:46:36,714

And I think that is the key to discipline.

: 1281

00:46:36,714 --> 00:46:41,004

Like choosing discipline in the

moment feels sucky, but what feels

: 1282

00:46:41,004 --> 00:46:42,954

more sucky is not choosing it.

: 1283

00:46:43,044 --> 00:46:47,754

Like when you give into that like sloth or

when you give into the like, I just don't

: 1284

00:46:47,754 --> 00:46:49,374

feel like it, or it's just like too hard.

: 1285

00:46:49,734 --> 00:46:52,554

You don't walk away feeling proud

of yourself for not choosing it.

: 1286

00:46:52,674 --> 00:46:54,024

-: 2026

you like beat yourself up all day.

: 1287

00:46:54,024 --> 00:46:55,584

It's, it's that feeling.

: 1288

00:46:55,884 --> 00:46:59,214

I dread that more than getting up out

of bed in the morning to my alarm.

: 1289

00:46:59,214 --> 00:46:59,484

Like

: 1290

00:46:59,679 --> 00:47:00,159

-: 2026

: 1291

00:47:00,234 --> 00:47:01,554

-: 2026

I have to put myself sometimes

: 1292

00:47:01,554 --> 00:47:04,794

in those shoes of what is my

future self and my future.

: 1293

00:47:05,104 --> 00:47:05,324

-: 2026

: 1294

00:47:05,364 --> 00:47:06,774

-: 2026

just myself an hour from

: 1295

00:47:06,774 --> 00:47:07,134

now.

: 1296

00:47:07,539 --> 00:47:11,049

Going to be saying to this girl that's

still in bed, that's snoozing her alarm.

: 1297

00:47:11,049 --> 00:47:14,199

Like, I, I keep using that

example 'cause that's when is the

: 1298

00:47:14,504 --> 00:47:16,084

-: 2026

what's hardest for me too.

: 1299

00:47:16,239 --> 00:47:16,719

-: 2026

yeah.

: 1300

00:47:16,719 --> 00:47:18,159

And it's like the classic, like snooze.

: 1301

00:47:18,159 --> 00:47:19,059

I'll do it later.

: 1302

00:47:19,059 --> 00:47:20,229

I, I'll just skip today.

: 1303

00:47:20,229 --> 00:47:21,699

Whatever it is that, whatever

: 1304

00:47:21,699 --> 00:47:25,359

that voice is telling you, it's

like I really have to ask myself.

: 1305

00:47:26,019 --> 00:47:27,999

What did I tell myself last

night before going to bed?

: 1306

00:47:27,999 --> 00:47:31,299

And what is my future self going

to say to this version of me?

: 1307

00:47:31,569 --> 00:47:33,539

And I wanna make that future

version of myself proud.

: 1308

00:47:33,669 --> 00:47:35,529

I wanna start showing up as her more.

: 1309

00:47:35,859 --> 00:47:38,319

You're not going to achieve all

these different goals and these,

: 1310

00:47:38,649 --> 00:47:41,619

you know, you're not going to live

in accordance with God's plan for

: 1311

00:47:41,619 --> 00:47:44,589

you if you're staying that person.

: 1312

00:47:44,589 --> 00:47:47,859

That denies discipline, that denies

yourself, the confidence in all of

: 1313

00:47:47,994 --> 00:47:48,324

-: 2026

: 1314

00:47:48,399 --> 00:47:49,629

-: 2026

like it's hard.

: 1315

00:47:49,629 --> 00:47:51,909

It's about having these hard

conversations with yourself.

: 1316

00:47:52,759 --> 00:47:56,124

okay if you're not like mean to yourself,

but in a way of like, no, I need to

: 1317

00:47:56,244 --> 00:47:56,754

-: 2026

: 1318

00:47:56,964 --> 00:47:58,074

-: 2026

a little tough conversation.

: 1319

00:47:58,074 --> 00:47:58,134

Yeah.

: 1320

00:47:58,164 --> 00:48:01,404

Tough love right now to get my

butt out of bed and that's okay.

: 1321

00:48:01,404 --> 00:48:05,304

I feel like people, when we're too

soft with ourselves, we tend to

: 1322

00:48:05,304 --> 00:48:07,884

really fall back and it's like you're

allowed to give yourself tough love

: 1323

00:48:07,884 --> 00:48:12,294

because the love will grow so much when

you do give yourself that tough love.

: 1324

00:48:12,294 --> 00:48:13,314

Mm-hmm.

: 1325

00:48:13,344 --> 00:48:13,614

So I

: 1326

00:48:13,614 --> 00:48:14,574

-: 2026

That was beautifully said.

: 1327

00:48:14,574 --> 00:48:16,164

-: 2026

approach and it's never easy.

: 1328

00:48:16,164 --> 00:48:18,444

It's always hard, but think

about your future self.

: 1329

00:48:18,729 --> 00:48:22,029

Think about who God is calling you to

be and it's hard to deny yourself that

: 1330

00:48:22,029 --> 00:48:23,619

when you put that into perspective.

: 1331

00:48:24,219 --> 00:48:28,449

-: 2026

and on that note, I hope everybody has a

: 1332

00:48:28,569 --> 00:48:30,804

fire lit in their butt right now and has.

: 1333

00:48:31,869 --> 00:48:36,969

Encouragement to get after their

goals, whether that be health or food

: 1334

00:48:36,969 --> 00:48:40,689

or spiritual, whatever it is that

you feel like is on your heart, that

: 1335

00:48:40,689 --> 00:48:43,749

you're like, gosh, like the Lord's

calling me to grow in this area, but

: 1336

00:48:43,749 --> 00:48:45,279

it's just hard for me to choose it.

: 1337

00:48:45,279 --> 00:48:47,769

I hope this conversation was

just that extra nudge that

: 1338

00:48:47,769 --> 00:48:49,479

you needed to get after it.

: 1339

00:48:49,479 --> 00:48:51,639

So thank you so much

for coming on you guys.

: 1340

00:48:51,639 --> 00:48:54,489

Where can we find more of

you guys and your content?

: 1341

00:48:55,454 --> 00:48:57,104

-: 2026

So you can follow us at

: 1342

00:48:57,104 --> 00:48:59,174

everything Kraus on Instagram.

: 1343

00:48:59,174 --> 00:49:01,994

That is, I would say our primary,

like primary, what is it?

: 1344

00:49:01,994 --> 00:49:02,654

What's the word?

: 1345

00:49:03,344 --> 00:49:03,764

Source?

: 1346

00:49:03,764 --> 00:49:03,944

I don't know.

: 1347

00:49:04,034 --> 00:49:04,814

Yeah, primary source.

: 1348

00:49:05,084 --> 00:49:06,974

Um, where you can find most of our page.

: 1349

00:49:06,974 --> 00:49:09,569

We also have a podcast called

the No Sugar Podcast, which.

: 1350

00:49:10,464 --> 00:49:12,414

it is not about not eating sugar.

: 1351

00:49:12,414 --> 00:49:13,944

It is about no sugarcoating.

: 1352

00:49:14,154 --> 00:49:18,504

And really having real raw conversations

and sharing these hard truths that you

: 1353

00:49:18,504 --> 00:49:21,024

may need to, to hear in order to grow.

: 1354

00:49:21,024 --> 00:49:22,974

That's what the main

purpose of the podcast is.

: 1355

00:49:23,154 --> 00:49:24,684

Um, and then Kari's Fitness Page.

: 1356

00:49:24,864 --> 00:49:28,404

Fitness page is at sculpted with

Kari, and that is where she posts all

: 1357

00:49:28,404 --> 00:49:30,114

of our, mainly our fitness content.

: 1358

00:49:30,114 --> 00:49:32,364

So I would say those are

our three big platforms.

: 1359

00:49:32,424 --> 00:49:32,814

Um.

: 1360

00:49:33,579 --> 00:49:37,269

at Kraus and at Isabelle Kraus are

our personal handle handles, which

: 1361

00:49:37,269 --> 00:49:39,999

we're growing, like little personal

brands trying to live out this mission

: 1362

00:49:39,999 --> 00:49:43,419

and also our daily lives, and kind of

showcasing that to the world as well.

: 1363

00:49:44,139 --> 00:49:46,089

thing about us is we have

a lot of Instagram pages.

: 1364

00:49:47,754 --> 00:49:48,234

-: 2026

: 1365

00:49:48,294 --> 00:49:51,174

Well, we'll make sure to link them

all in the show notes so y'all

: 1366

00:49:51,174 --> 00:49:52,674

don't have to memorize all of that.

: 1367

00:49:52,674 --> 00:49:55,404

You can just go and click it

and get more of these girls,

: 1368

00:49:55,404 --> 00:49:56,964

because they were so amazing.

: 1369

00:49:56,964 --> 00:49:57,894

Thanks so much you guys.

: 1370

00:49:59,109 --> 00:49:59,824

-: 2026

Thank you much.

: 1371

00:49:59,824 --> 00:50:00,699

Thank you, Molly, for having us.

: 1372

00:50:00,699 --> 00:50:03,789

Seriously, this was so fun and it

has been a pleasure to chat with you.

: 1373

00:50:03,789 --> 00:50:05,229

I feel like I could talk to you for hours.

: 1374

00:50:05,229 --> 00:50:05,349

Really.

: 1375

00:50:05,439 --> 00:50:07,659

So this has been literally

the best day ever.

: 1376

00:50:08,244 --> 00:50:09,084

-: 2026

: 1377

00:50:09,084 --> 00:50:10,044

Where do you guys live?

: 1378

00:50:10,779 --> 00:50:12,639

-: 2026

Um, we live like 45 minutes outside

: 1379

00:50:12,639 --> 00:50:14,259

of Philadelphia in Pennsylvania.

: 1380

00:50:14,559 --> 00:50:15,264

-: 2026

: 1381

00:50:15,294 --> 00:50:15,624

Okay.

: 1382

00:50:15,624 --> 00:50:19,854

Well I'm, I'm not over there

very much, but next time I am, we

: 1383

00:50:19,854 --> 00:50:21,684

definitely gotta set up a coffee date.

: 1384

00:50:22,029 --> 00:50:22,929

-: 2026

Yes, for sure.

: 1385

00:50:22,934 --> 00:50:23,114

Definitely.

: 1386

00:50:23,821 --> 00:50:24,091

-: 2026

: 1387

00:50:24,091 --> 00:50:24,481

Awesome.
