Hello again Flexy Fam,
It has been a little while as we took some time away for ourselves, but it is great to be back.
As you can see this week's episode is a little longer than usual: we had a lot to catch up on but also a spirited discussion on our topic of the day: health & fitness trends. We cover a wide array of these ranging from the outlandish, to the elitist, to the unfounded and the downright dangerous!
We also have a little pop culture moment discussing documentaries on disgraced "health-based" con artist Belle Gibson, and the newly released Meghan (you know it's Sussex now?!) Markle's new show.
It's a fun one!
