They make high-quality collagen peptide powder and beef protein powder in two delicious flavors, chocolate and vanilla.

• Ep 93: Ashleigh and Rachel: originally mortal enemies? | Can you work out while sick?

  In this episode Rachel and Ashleigh answer a listener question about how they met, and they reminisce about their "origin story" and talk about how they work now as cross-continental business partners. They also dive into some brand new goals they have for themselves for 2025 and how they plan to accomplish those goals, and how listeners can better communicate their goals to their coaches in order to really get the results they want. We also talk about the nuance of working out while sick: when it's fine to power through and when you should take a break and rest instead.

• Ep 92: How to talk to your doctor about menopause

  In this important episode, Rachel and Ashleigh walk listeners through how they can have the "menopause" conversation with their doctor: the information you should have and bring to them, including symptoms and family history (and how to track said symptoms); and why it's important to have more specific goals to discuss than simply "I want to feel better." The ladies also chat about how to find a provider who specializes in, or at least is knowledgeable about, menopause.  This is an invaluable episode for any woman who is currently experiencing symptoms and wondering about the next steps - please share it with anyone you know who could benefit!
