Ever love a wellness trend but keep it quiet?
We’re talking bone broth, girl dinner, and the habits that actually stick. From morning routines to lazy meal preps, it’s all about finding what works without forcing it.
One of us swears by cold plunges, the other’s team coffee. It’s funny, a little chaotic, and surprisingly practical. Real talk, real habits, no wellness guilt.

00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:03.120
What's a wellness trend you secretly love?
00:00:03.839 --> 00:00:04.559
I have mine.
00:00:04.719 --> 00:00:05.360
I have mine.
00:00:05.519 --> 00:00:05.919
Oh, okay.
00:00:06.160 --> 00:00:11.679
A wellness trend that I secretly love is the bone broth.
00:00:11.919 --> 00:00:12.720
And I love it.
00:00:12.960 --> 00:00:13.439
I don't want to be a big thing.
00:00:13.839 --> 00:00:15.199
It is, some people don't know.
00:00:15.279 --> 00:00:16.239
Some people aren't hip.
00:00:16.480 --> 00:00:25.839
If you're not drinking the bone broth, and again, it's a powder, you put you add water, gotta add a little bit of seasoning to it, but it's like 20 grams of protein or more.
00:00:26.160 --> 00:00:28.960
And it's it's literally a major key.
00:00:29.199 --> 00:00:36.640
So, but most people like either haven't tried it, but people that you bring it up to that know are like it's gospel.
00:00:37.759 --> 00:00:38.079
Okay.
00:00:38.799 --> 00:00:39.119
Okay.
00:00:39.359 --> 00:00:42.799
So I brought it up to a few people and they looked and they looked at me like, if you know, you know.
00:00:42.880 --> 00:00:44.159
And they were like, I know a guy.
00:00:44.240 --> 00:00:46.640
Like I know a guy, like a farmer that I go to that gives me my bone.
00:00:47.679 --> 00:00:49.359
I was like, I was like, oh, you're on another look.
00:00:50.000 --> 00:00:50.399
He really shopped.
00:00:50.640 --> 00:00:51.520
You can make it at home too.
00:00:51.679 --> 00:00:52.479
He's in Idaho, too.
00:00:52.560 --> 00:00:53.439
He's like, Yeah, we're not really.
00:00:53.679 --> 00:00:56.640
I went over to my neighbor and yeah, it's not that hard to make at home, actually.
00:00:56.799 --> 00:00:59.759
You can if you, you know, experiment a little bit.
00:01:00.079 --> 00:01:01.600
So love the bone broth.
00:01:01.679 --> 00:01:02.719
We both have the bone broth.
00:01:02.880 --> 00:01:08.480
We started with the beef, that was the best one for us, and then we've transitioned to chicken, but I still like the beef more.
00:01:08.560 --> 00:01:08.799
I think.
00:01:09.120 --> 00:01:09.680
Same from Dr.
00:01:09.760 --> 00:01:10.480
Amy Myers, though.
00:01:10.560 --> 00:01:11.040
Shout out to Dr.
00:01:11.120 --> 00:01:12.799
Amy Myers who makes that bone broth.
00:01:12.959 --> 00:01:14.079
Yes, very good.
00:01:14.159 --> 00:01:16.640
And that one's a powdered form as opposed to a liquid form.
00:01:16.879 --> 00:01:17.280
True.
00:01:17.519 --> 00:01:19.120
So I love that.
00:01:19.280 --> 00:01:21.120
I would say a wellness trend.
00:01:21.280 --> 00:01:23.280
This is for the girlies who know.
00:01:23.840 --> 00:01:26.560
It's all about the girl dinner.
00:01:26.799 --> 00:01:27.920
I'm here for it.
00:01:28.079 --> 00:01:28.640
I love it.
00:01:28.799 --> 00:01:29.840
I'm here for it.
00:01:30.079 --> 00:01:32.560
I want the randomness of a girl dinner.
00:01:32.799 --> 00:01:33.439
I love it.
00:01:33.519 --> 00:01:36.879
I think it's it's just it hits the spot on another level.
00:01:37.200 --> 00:01:39.439
But so for the people out there, what is it?
00:01:39.760 --> 00:01:48.000
What a girl dinner is it's literally a smorgasbord of just all the things that you're kind of wanting at that moment.
00:01:48.159 --> 00:01:59.439
So you might have a little bit of like cheese and crackers, you might have like hummus and cucumbers, you might have just um a charcuterie board?
00:01:59.599 --> 00:02:04.640
No, you'll have like uh maybe some dried fruit, a little bit of it.
00:02:04.879 --> 00:02:06.239
But you can't think of it, you can't think of it like that.
00:02:06.319 --> 00:02:09.360
But again, it's a girl dinner, so it's whatever you want, just in small quantities.
00:02:09.520 --> 00:02:11.120
And is it because it's replacing dinner as well?
00:02:11.199 --> 00:02:11.759
Is that what this is?
00:02:12.000 --> 00:02:15.039
Yeah, it's just because I it's like I don't want one set thing for dinner.
00:02:15.199 --> 00:02:16.560
I want a little bit of everything.
00:02:16.639 --> 00:02:21.759
And I want it all on one plate, and I want to just nibble over here, nibble over here, get my sweet and salty.
00:02:21.919 --> 00:02:23.520
At what point do you come nibble on my plate?
00:02:23.680 --> 00:02:25.840
Get my get my fat get nibble on your plate.
00:02:25.919 --> 00:02:27.599
You're nibbling on my plate.
00:02:27.840 --> 00:02:28.240
What?
00:02:28.319 --> 00:02:29.280
Don't do me like that.
00:02:29.439 --> 00:02:32.240
Arty, I want y'all to know that that it works both ways, y'all.
00:02:32.479 --> 00:02:34.080
That y'all, that's not true.
00:02:34.560 --> 00:02:37.199
So you're saying the next time I have some popcorn, you're not gonna want a handful.
00:02:37.360 --> 00:02:39.439
When's the last time I've asked for popcorn?
00:02:40.879 --> 00:02:41.840
Y'all hear the silence?
00:02:42.000 --> 00:02:43.680
She just had a she just y'all hear the silence.
00:02:43.919 --> 00:02:44.560
She just had a handful of it.
00:02:45.439 --> 00:02:46.560
She just had a handful recently.
00:02:46.719 --> 00:02:48.080
Okay, that's not true.
00:02:48.240 --> 00:02:53.840
Um, would you rather cold plunge for 30 days or give up caffeine for 30 days?
00:02:54.080 --> 00:03:01.199
So I'm not too crazy on caffeine, although I do have the pre-workout in my routine, like the organic pre-workout, and a coffee sometimes.
00:03:01.280 --> 00:03:02.560
So I do it is a little drill.
00:03:02.719 --> 00:03:03.439
But I love a cold.
00:03:04.639 --> 00:03:06.080
But I but I love a cold plunge, though.
00:03:06.159 --> 00:03:11.840
So I was gonna say, like, I could give up caffeine tomorrow, zero hesitation, but also really enjoy the cold plunge.
00:03:11.919 --> 00:03:16.400
So I'd pick cold plunge regardless of if if the coffee I had to give up or not, you know.
00:03:16.560 --> 00:03:18.240
Yeah, I'd give up caffeine myself.
00:03:18.400 --> 00:03:22.080
Cold plunge, that's for the I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm gonna cold plunge and I'm gonna keep my caffeine.
00:03:22.319 --> 00:03:25.199
Although cold plunge and I know that I should do it.
00:03:25.840 --> 00:03:28.000
You gotta ask yourself, do you want to be good or do you want to be great?
00:03:28.080 --> 00:03:28.800
I'm always great.
00:03:28.960 --> 00:03:29.199
Okay.
00:03:29.360 --> 00:03:34.400
So I so on our anniversary, we go to the spa and it's time for the cold plunge.
00:03:34.639 --> 00:03:35.199
I'm doing it.
00:03:35.360 --> 00:03:35.680
Okay.
00:03:35.840 --> 00:03:36.159
Okay.
00:03:36.560 --> 00:03:41.439
What's what's our relationship wellness routine?
00:03:43.280 --> 00:03:44.319
Define that.
00:03:44.719 --> 00:03:53.039
So what I think of is how do we bring health and wellness into our routine as a couple?
00:03:53.280 --> 00:04:01.360
So I would say we work out when we can together, we try to go on walks together, we are sometimes meal prepping together too.
00:04:01.680 --> 00:04:02.719
I mean, today's a perfect example.
00:04:03.280 --> 00:04:03.759
That's what I mean.
00:04:04.000 --> 00:04:07.520
And to keep it all the way real, because this is gonna resonate with somebody.
00:04:07.680 --> 00:04:17.600
Whoever has something in the fridge that's on the verge of expiration, meaning if you do not cook it and cut, cut it and cook it today, it's gonna expire.
00:04:17.680 --> 00:04:20.079
And I appreciate you giving me that reminder because I kind of forgot about it.
00:04:20.240 --> 00:04:21.920
I'm like, ooh, we gotta cut that chicken.
00:04:22.000 --> 00:04:27.600
And you're like, yo, if it's not cut today, like, and there's nothing worse than feeling like it doesn't matter how much money I feel like you're wasting.
00:04:28.000 --> 00:04:28.399
That's what I'm saying.
00:04:28.480 --> 00:04:36.079
There's no matter how much money you have, throwing away something that's perfectly good because you just didn't get to it or wasted it, it like to me it hurts.
00:04:36.319 --> 00:04:39.120
I just I look at myself and I'm like Especially now with inflation.
00:04:39.360 --> 00:04:40.879
And my ground and these tariffs.
00:04:41.120 --> 00:04:45.199
And I think back to, you know, Granny, different time, don't know when your next meal is coming.
00:04:45.839 --> 00:04:48.319
I'm like, Granny would be so disappointed in me right now.
00:04:48.480 --> 00:04:49.600
She'll be disappointed.
00:04:49.759 --> 00:04:53.920
So I say that to say you messaged me today and we're like, hey, we got to cut that chicken up.
00:04:54.000 --> 00:04:57.439
And this is going back to the wellness routine or how we mixed that into our relationship.
00:04:57.600 --> 00:05:04.720
Is I cut up the chicken in between one of my meetings, gloved up, chef style, marinated.
00:05:05.199 --> 00:05:12.079
But what you did was came and like why when I jumped to my next meeting, you then cooked it after it marinated for a little bit.
00:05:12.319 --> 00:05:15.519
And then I was able to put it into containers and put it in the fridge.
00:05:15.600 --> 00:05:22.079
So like it's not always overthinking it where there's like this hack or this secret, but it's really like, how can I help?
00:05:22.160 --> 00:05:32.160
How do we break something up from you having to cut, cook, put away, prep the chicken to like, all right, how do we divvy up some of these responsibilities and help it help us on the journey?
00:05:32.319 --> 00:05:43.920
Because now, going back full circle to the salads we talked about earlier, when we get home tonight, we'll be able to make one of those delicious salads and the chicken's already cooked versus like ooh, let's just go eat out because of the fact that we don't have any food that's ready.
00:05:44.079 --> 00:05:44.720
You know what I mean?
00:05:44.879 --> 00:05:49.439
So I think that's something that's simple, but a lot of times it's the simple things that make the big differences.
00:05:49.839 --> 00:05:50.079
Yeah.
00:05:50.240 --> 00:06:02.000
So wellness routine, working out together, praying together, meal prep, cardio, cardio, yeah, recovery, recovery in the pool.
00:06:02.399 --> 00:06:04.160
Oh, yeah, and swim, going to the pool.
00:06:04.399 --> 00:06:05.839
Yeah, these are all like major keys.
00:06:06.079 --> 00:06:06.240
Yeah,
00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:03.120
00:00:03.839 --> 00:00:04.559
00:00:04.719 --> 00:00:05.360
00:00:05.519 --> 00:00:05.919
00:00:06.160 --> 00:00:11.679
00:00:11.919 --> 00:00:12.720
00:00:12.960 --> 00:00:13.439
00:00:13.839 --> 00:00:15.199
00:00:15.279 --> 00:00:16.239
00:00:16.480 --> 00:00:25.839
00:00:26.160 --> 00:00:28.960
00:00:29.199 --> 00:00:36.640
00:00:37.759 --> 00:00:38.079
00:00:38.799 --> 00:00:39.119
00:00:39.359 --> 00:00:42.799
00:00:42.880 --> 00:00:44.159
00:00:44.240 --> 00:00:46.640
00:00:47.679 --> 00:00:49.359
00:00:50.000 --> 00:00:50.399
00:00:50.640 --> 00:00:51.520
00:00:51.679 --> 00:00:52.479
00:00:52.560 --> 00:00:53.439
00:00:53.679 --> 00:00:56.640
00:00:56.799 --> 00:00:59.759
00:01:00.079 --> 00:01:01.600
00:01:01.679 --> 00:01:02.719
00:01:02.880 --> 00:01:08.480
00:01:08.560 --> 00:01:08.799
00:01:09.120 --> 00:01:09.680
00:01:09.760 --> 00:01:10.480
00:01:10.560 --> 00:01:11.040
00:01:11.120 --> 00:01:12.799
00:01:12.959 --> 00:01:14.079
00:01:14.159 --> 00:01:16.640
00:01:16.879 --> 00:01:17.280
00:01:17.519 --> 00:01:19.120
00:01:19.280 --> 00:01:21.120
00:01:21.280 --> 00:01:23.280
00:01:23.840 --> 00:01:26.560
00:01:26.799 --> 00:01:27.920
00:01:28.079 --> 00:01:28.640
00:01:28.799 --> 00:01:29.840
00:01:30.079 --> 00:01:32.560
00:01:32.799 --> 00:01:33.439
00:01:33.519 --> 00:01:36.879
00:01:37.200 --> 00:01:39.439
00:01:39.760 --> 00:01:48.000
00:01:48.159 --> 00:01:59.439
00:01:59.599 --> 00:02:04.640
00:02:04.879 --> 00:02:06.239
00:02:06.319 --> 00:02:09.360
00:02:09.520 --> 00:02:11.120
00:02:11.199 --> 00:02:11.759
00:02:12.000 --> 00:02:15.039
00:02:15.199 --> 00:02:16.560
00:02:16.639 --> 00:02:21.759
00:02:21.919 --> 00:02:23.520
00:02:23.680 --> 00:02:25.840
00:02:25.919 --> 00:02:27.599
00:02:27.840 --> 00:02:28.240
00:02:28.319 --> 00:02:29.280
00:02:29.439 --> 00:02:32.240
00:02:32.479 --> 00:02:34.080
00:02:34.560 --> 00:02:37.199
00:02:37.360 --> 00:02:39.439
00:02:40.879 --> 00:02:41.840
00:02:42.000 --> 00:02:43.680
00:02:43.919 --> 00:02:44.560
00:02:45.439 --> 00:02:46.560
00:02:46.719 --> 00:02:48.080
00:02:48.240 --> 00:02:53.840
00:02:54.080 --> 00:03:01.199
00:03:01.280 --> 00:03:02.560
00:03:02.719 --> 00:03:03.439
00:03:04.639 --> 00:03:06.080
00:03:06.159 --> 00:03:11.840
00:03:11.919 --> 00:03:16.400
00:03:16.560 --> 00:03:18.240
00:03:18.400 --> 00:03:22.080
00:03:22.319 --> 00:03:25.199
00:03:25.840 --> 00:03:28.000
00:03:28.080 --> 00:03:28.800
