The Trillest Podcast

Episode 66 is a grab bag of fun and randomness. After a super serious conversation on babies with tattoos, and learning that Salah has had to get her ears pierced 7 times (insane!), we chat about a few more serious topics. Starting with the discussion on summer bodies and how it seems like that's what everyone is talking about. This turns in to a deep discussion on confidence and what a big role it plays into the way we look. Then we dig a little into self-care practices and gratitude journaling.

  Whoop, it's Salah's birthday week! She's turning the big 3-0 and to celebrate we did something special for the podcast. We each wrote down a list of 30 life goals to accomplish before we turned 40 (inspired by Episode 55 with Caitlin) and chatted all about them. It was a super fun activity and really made us look forward to this decade we have in front of us. Go give it a listen and let us know what you think about 10-year goals, into it or nay?

  Whoa, it's been a year since we started The Trillest Podcast! What a fun year it has been! You guys have seen us through so much and we've learned so much from stepping out and being #trill with ourselves and everyone listening. A big THANK YOU to everyone who has supported us and continues to download week after week. To celebrate one whole year we are going back to how things started, telling you all about what we love in regards to fitness, food, health/beauty/fashion and most importantly, our struggle of the week.

I'm (Taylor) flying solo with Coach James today. We actually recorded on Salah's due date (spoiler: baby did not come on time!) so she's taking the week off. I asked James to walk us through his fitness journey and boy are you in for a treat! This guy has hustled since day 1 and his story has taken him to every type of gym that you can imagine, and he has wanted to quit more than once. The cool thing behind James's story is discovering the confidence he has always had within himself. He also ended up crashing Camille Leblanc-Bazinet and Dave Lipson taco date night once (amazing!)! James is one super cool human and we were honored to have him on as a guest! Thanks for keeping it trill, James! Follow James on IG: @lifeasjamesquigley Want James to MC your next gig?

Today we (Taylor + Talon) walk you through marathon weekend! It was a big day, you guys, and we're alive to tell the tale (barely!). We both walk you through what our vastly different training plans looked like, how we prepped those days leading up to race day, and how those 26.2 miles went for each of us. It was an exciting and exhausting day that is for sure. Marathons are not for the weak of heart. If you are looking for real marathon advice, this is definitely not the place. But if you want something to laugh and make fun of, this is definitely for you. Have a great week, get a run in (maybe?) and keep it trill!

In this episode of The Trillest Podcast, Salah and Taylor interview Dr. John Cluley, a board-certified gastroenterologist. This is Dr. John's second time on the trillest, he first visited with us on episode 10, if you have not already go check that episode out. Dr. John is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to our guts and it was awesome to get to quiz him on all things gut related. We started with general gut health and how an individual would go about beginning to venture into the gut health arena. From there, we dabble in what leaky gut is and how we would treat it. Things get real trill when we start discussing poop (yes, we went there!) and plant-based eating. We're so grateful that Dr. John took the time to share his expertise with us, you do not want to miss this episode. Stay trill and take care of those guts!
