Wellness With Stackzzz
Welcome to Wellness With Stackzzz, the podcast where food and fitness meet real life.
Hosted by Nicole and Ryan Stack, we dive into the sweet spot between performance and balance, where marathon training, healthy baking, and everyday living all work together instead of against each other.
From running sub three-hour marathons and chatting about fueling strategies to better-for-you desserts and learning when to rest, we talk about how to chase big goals and still have a life outside of them. Because wellness isn’t about restriction or perfection - it’s about rhythm, purpose, and joy.
So grab a coffee (or a cookie) and come hang out with us every Tuesday morning!

Ep. 7: "Idolizing" Fitness & Why We Needed A Reality Check
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In today’s episode, we’re unpacking something we didn’t fully realize we were doing… making fitness a bit of an idol. Last week we talked about how we’re reprioritizing our relationship with training based on the season of life we’re in, and this week we’re taking that a step further.
We get into Ryan’s recent epiphanies, why men’s and women’s training needs are meant to look different, and how goals can be motivating, but shouldn’t take over your entire identity. Fitness is supposed to complement your life, not consume it.
If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by trying to “keep up,” or like you constantly need to match what the girl next to you (or the girl on Instagram) is doing, this conversation is going to feel like a breath of fresh air.
So grab a coffee (or a cookie) and come hang out with us.
