  • Too many ads

    I really appreciate Gins info, and the questions, etc. but there are WAY too many ads, much more than any other podcast I listen to. Gin also continually talks about herself and tells the same stories and facts over and over. I would rather hear about the person she’s interviewing, but she always turns it back to her and talks about herself which gets old. I only listen to this podcast if I can have my finger on the skip ahead button. Only about 20% of each podcast is interesting material which... more

  • Motivational

    I absolutely love this podcast and it helps me get back on track when I’m not feeling my best. I love hearing everyone’s weight loss journey story and habits/tips that are extremely beneficial.

    One thing I do find a bit of a challenge about this podcast is trying to find someone who is in the same age range as me. I feel like there are a lot of older guests and not enough ones who are in their 30s or 40s. It’s harder to relate when the stories are all of most women who are already in menopau... more

  • PLEASE review the position and volume of ads 😭😭

    I just love listening to Gin talk IF with a wide range of people. It’s a great way to learn but also very easy listening. One issue that is getting worse and worse: the advertising pops in at the worst time. Often even mid-sentence! The volume of the ads is often way too high as well. I beg you to fix these issues.
