Fitness Truths Exposed: What the Industry Never Told Us
The fitness world sold us a LOT of lies — from “carbs make you fat” to “progress is always linear.” In this episode of Giggles & Glutes, Zoë and Donne break down the truths the industry never told us: why mindset matters more than macros, why the scale is NOT the full picture, and how rest, recovery, and balance are your real superpowers.
We share the myths we had to unlearn, the toxic self-talk we overcame, and the tools that actually create long-term progress — without giving up pizza, wine, or your social life.
If you’ve ever felt frustrated, confused, or stuck in your fitness journey, this episode will shift your perspective and help you finally find freedom in training, nutrition, and self-love.
