In this episode of the Forever Fit Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Csilla Veress from TrueNorth Health Center to explore gut health, lifestyle medicine, and supervised water-only fasting. We discuss how the microbiome influences inflammation and immunity, why nutrition and daily habits matter more than most people realize, and what actually happens during a medically supervised fast. This is a grounded, science-based conversation about building real health from the inside out.

In this episode of the Forever Fit Podcast, Ivy and I are recording from an Airbnb in BGC, Manila at the start of our three-month Asia trip. We share what it’s really like adjusting to the Philippines, meeting Ivy’s family and our team in person, and navigating travel while staying consistent with fitness and plant-based nutrition. We talk protein challenges on the road, gym-hopping, managing jet lag, and balancing “lifestyle lean” habits with enjoying local food. We also share travel hacks, favorite plant-based spots in Manila, and reflect on what it means to stay disciplined—not perfect—while living fully.
