feelgoodery
Hey friend - my name is Kyle Buchanan and although I talk nutrition and health for a living nowadays - whether through talks, videos, or as a resident contributor on Canada's "The Morning Show", it was NOT that long ago that I was an anxious, drunken, closeted, self-doubty wreck. Being a grown up is tough, and messy - where we’re confident one day and anxiety-ridden the next. I don't like faking it. I DO however, like getting it all out in the open, laughing about it, and then exploring a few tools that can help us feel better if (and only if) we are in the mood. So whether it’s solo episodes or honest conversations with spectacular guests -this show is the blend of revelations, self-help, knowledge and gay magic that NO one asked for, but everyone needs. And I'm so glad you're here.

Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
We live in a time where we've never had more tools to improve our health.
Wearables. Supplements. Peptides. Longevity clinics. Clean eating. Sleep trackers. AI-powered health advice.
But what if the pursuit of "optimal health" is actually making some of us less healthy?
Today, we're exploring where the line is between building healthy habits... and becoming trapped by them.
We're covering:
- The hidden downside of tracking every health metric
- When "clean eating" quietly becomes an unhealthy obsession
- Why perfect sleep might not always be worth chasing
- The surprising pressure behind today's sobriety movement
- How wellness products can sometimes disconnect us from what our bodies are really trying to tell us
- Why feeling your best doesn't require optimizing every moment of your life
Plus... today's feelgood thing.
If you've ever felt overwhelmed by wellness advice, biohacking, longevity trends, or the pressure to constantly improve yourself... this episode is for you.
