Fitness Casual
If you’re burned out on diets, confused by your symptoms, and tired of being told “everything looks normal,” this show is for you.
Hosted by functional nutritionists Andrew Hayes and Kat Best, we cover the health issues most people struggle with but rarely talk about. Gut problems. Hormone chaos. Fatigue. Cravings. Mood swings. The difference between sustainable fat loss and trendy weight loss. Irregular poops. (Yes, we said it.)
Each week, we give you the tools to actually feel better — without crash diets, supplements you don’t need, or 4AM workouts.
No shame. No perfection. Just more clarity, not more effort.
Because real health shouldn’t feel like a second job. It should fit your life.
Tune in for science-backed strategies, client stories, and honest conversations that make healing feel doable — and even kind of fun.
Subscribe now and say goodbye to guessing on your health.
