The female host loudly talks over her guest and is rude. Couldn’t stand her obnoxious behavior but the doctor was good

[irinosca]

I cannot express how long have I been looking for someone who experienced joint and body aches for over exercising and actually offers EFFECTIVE STRENGTHENING exercices !!! Thank you for this amazing episode. Targeted exercise OMG INCREDIBLE.

I personally love doing a full body weight session then I take two full days off of weights. On the off days I walk, rebound, and sauna.
47 years old and I just reached my goal of 40 pushups in a row. Next goal is 50🎉

The intense interrupting is making this podcast harder to listen too 😅

[BySheridanScifres]

The amount of interrupting was absurd! Listen to your guest! Let them speak or at least finish a sentence. I could barely listen to this podcast for that reason.

I never weigh myself as I’m a slave to the number that shows up! I know muscle weighs more than fat. So when I’m measuring my fitness journey I go try on the tightest skinny jeans or a bodycon dress that I hated the way I looked in it! This is the best way I have found to work for me and truer than the scale reading!

[liliad.]

This girl host gets on my nerves at times stop putting your huspand and on the spot and let him talk so annoying.

[IMFitShameka]

This convo was great… though I agree with the rest of comments on host over talking other host and guest.

[kellyhartigan]

This podcast was fricking awesome. Thank you so much!!! Pretty much what I have researched myself on how I live my life with nutrition and fitness but loved learning more. You are both amazing too ❤

[ashleyk]

Love that you had shannon on. Evlo has become my go to for strength training for the past few months

[jaymeaills]

Wow this episode is full of tools I feel like I can actually use and not stuff going over my head - thank you!!

[gingerblackwell]

Can’t wait to sign up for my free month. New to weight lifting but I feel educated and excited after listening to the show. 59 and strong!! Evlo

[NatalieStringfield]

This podcast was right on time. I realized I was eating 1/3 the amount of protein I needed in order to build muscle. Now that I’m tracking and lifting my body is changing and getting snatched!

[TaraHeather]

This was a great episode! I’ve listened to every episode since day 1 and this is in my top 3!

[irinaballerina]

The host is so unprofessional. She disrespects the husband and interrupts everyone

[jeanshelbybooks]

I would love for someone to talk about what it means to have LOW cortisol, as I do. My practitioner says this is the result of the same things that cause high cortisol, but it doesn’t seem to be mentioned. Thank you for this interview! I work hard in every area of my life: parenting, work, exercise, writing (my side hustle), and it take a lot of mental oversight to not allow the work, work, work, mentality to take over my life. I wish you all the best with figuring out what works best for your own body. 😊

[IWasBlindButNowISeeJesus]

I know this is irrelevant to the conversation and people have a million different opinions, and I pray they are content and happy but I cannot STAND the way she treats her husband. Oh my goodness. The disrespect

[rainbows]

What an awesome and fun interview! So informative and helpful! And the dynamic between Lauryn and Michael was hilarious 😂

[BollywoodMediaOnline]

4:20 Omg loved when she talked about the bedroom benefits lolol
