Real Talk, Whole Life - podcast cover

Real Talk, Whole Life

Welcome to Real Talk, Whole Life—part candid phone call with your nerdy best friends, part myth-busting, and entirely unfiltered. Wellness without the woo. Womanhood without the guilt. Wisdom from the fine folks who survived dial-up and low-fat lies. Host Stacy Toth brings honest, heartfelt conversations about what it means to live fully—in your body, your brain, and your messy, magical life. From midlife mayhem and mental health to Botox alternatives and book recs, we’re covering it all—with a side of sarcasm and a whole lot of heart. No shame. No pseudoscience. Just the kind of conversations you actually want to hear when you call a friend—especially if “wellness” has never quite felt like it was made for you. Rooted in womanhood, open to anyone who’s ever been side-eyed in a yoga studio. Come for the hot takes, stay for the healing. Real Talk, Whole Life is hosted by Stacy Toth, bestselling diet culture author turned anti-diet health at any size educator. Her goal is to create a safe space for all to explore their own version of wellness without the elitist self-focused woo woo. Previously The Whole View and The Paleo View, this evolution of the podcast is a reflection of the growth we all go through exploring being middle aged. Expect a wide variety of guests on an even greater variety of topics, but always inclusive ways for non-toxic living (mental and physical).

Episode 408: Insomnia?

Listener Question: "First, I want to let you ladies know that I really appreciated last week’s podcast. As a long time listener, I was really glad you both chose to speak out. I know times are crazy right now, (Thank you for all your timely Covid-19 shows too) and this may not be a current topic of interest, but I would love an episode all about insomnia. I know you ladies have spoken a lot about the importance of sleep on the podcast but what about those of us who actually suffer from insomnia?...

Episode 406: Got Water?

This week Dr. Sarah and Stacy answer a listener question. Listener Question: Thanks for continuing to podcast. Crazy times in the world and you and Sarah’s voice is so utterly comforting. Anyway, podcast question! Water intake. I don’t think you guys have done a, 'how much water do we need', podcast episode. A deep dive into this would be really helpful. The standard advice seems to be either one amount for men and one amount for women, or, half your body weight in oz. Which is correct? Or is th...
