Hey Fitfam,

I am so excited to share today's brand-new podcast episode with you!

In this episode, I sit down with Sarah, a registered dietitian and professor at Michigan State University, to break down the new USDA nutrition guidelines — what's changed, what's stayed the same, and how these updates actually apply to real life.

Here's a little peek at what we dove into 👇

🥗 Nutrition Basics
• What the new USDA guidelines actually recommend
• What hasn't changed (and why that matters)
• How to think about the nutritional value of foods

🧠 Science Over Fads
• How nutrition research informs the guidelines
• Why conflicting advice is so common
• How to know what information you can trust

⚖️ Real-Life Application
• How to apply the guidelines day to day
• Why you don't need to overhaul everything overnight
• How small, informed choices support long-term health

This is a grounded, realistic conversation, and I hope you walk away feeling less overwhelmed and more confident about how to nourish your body.

Hey Fitfam 💛

Can you believe Boot Camp Challenge® is celebrating 24 years?! 😱

To mark this huge milestone, I gathered some of our incredible BCC trainers for a special anniversary podcast. Together, we share:

🎙️ Our favorite camper stories — the ones that made us laugh, cry, and cheer.
💪 What inspired us to start coaching (and why we still love it decades later).
🖤 How Boot Camp Challenge® began and the moments that changed everything.
👯‍♀️ Why this Fitfam means so much to us, to our campers, and to YOU.

This episode is a total heart-hug. You'll hear stories of courage, connection, and community that remind us all why we show up — not just for the workouts, but for each other.

Thank you for being part of our story — whether you joined us last week or 20 years ago, YOU are the reason we're still here, 24 years strong.
