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.

You Can Love Your Body and Still Want to Change It l Ep 60
We’re told to “love ourselves as we are,” but also to “be our best self.” No wonder everyone feels confused about wanting to change their body without feeling guilty about it.
In this episode, we break down why wanting change isn’t toxic, shallow, or a sign of low confidence. It’s human. We talk about how body positivity went off the rails, how comparison keeps people stuck in perfectionism, and why a body-neutral mindset actually leads to healthier thinking, better habits, stronger performance, and real metabolic improvements.
We also get into why internal metrics like digestion, energy, strength, libido, and sleep matter far more than the mirror — and how physical changes become a natural side effect when you fix what’s happening inside your body.
If you’ve ever felt torn between self-love and self-improvement, this episode brings the clarity you’ve been missing.
- (00:05) Why wanting to change your body isn’t toxic
- (12:00) How body positivity backfired and the rise of body neutrality
- (20:22) The perfection trap and why comparison rewires your brain
- (27:42) How to build goals around function, not just appearance
