  • Worth the listen each week

    I’ve been listening weekly and find it so valuable to learn and experience some coaching through the podcast. The content Jordana shares has helped me to reflect and experiment with different behaviors around food and movement in midlife while experiencing weight gain and body changes. I appreciate her direct style and realistic approach to nutrition and movement.

  • Straight Talk, with heart!

    This podcast is amazing! Jordana’s insights on food and dieting and body image are unique and insightful and so real. Listening to this podcast sort of feels like getting advice from a friend: that smart, funny, kind, and honest, friend who listens to you, but doesn’t let you off the hook of self-accountability. She’s given me a way to reframe how I think about myself and the narrative about myself that’s constantly on replay in my brain. All I can say is, “Thank you for making this podcast.” It... more

  • I never miss an episode of your podcast!

    I wanted to let you know that your podcast series on GLP1’s are phenomenal! You’re hitting on all of the important stuff that gets missed in mainstream media articles. I just shared them with a client who is also a personal trainer because she was asking me about some of her clients who are having issues with things that you address in these 3 episodes. Thank you so much for all of the helpful information you share every week. I appreciate you!

  • Great food for thought (pardon the pun)

    I love how real Jordana is and how actionable her advice is, and the fact that the episodes are on the shorter side—it just makes it that much more… digestible!
