#3 The Joe Rogan Experience
Joe Rogan is known for his intricate 2+ hour interview podcasts. His health interviews are a personal favourite and the recent episode with Chris Kresser critically analysing the new-ish Netflix documentary 'Game Changers' was interesting.
#4 Oprah Winfrey's Supersoul Conversations
We love Oprah's Supersoul Conversations for some feel-good/ spiritually uplifting listening. It is inspiring and delves into the lives of her various guests on a deeper level. The recent episode with Lady Gaga about kindness was a good one.

APPS WE LOVE
#1 10% Happier: Meditation
10% Happier won the Apple Best of 2018 award and for good reason. It is a great app to help you become more mindful, sleep better and improve your relationships. It is a great meditation app to get you started.

Fiit is an app featuring world-class trainers at your fingertips; allowing you to perform great workouts from the comfort of your home. The plans are tailored towards your goals and fitness levels and are updated frequently for constant variety.
#3 GOWOD
Our favourite mobility/ stretching app. Their aim is to 'speed your recovery, boost your performance, improve your mobility, and reduce the risk of injury.' You start out with a mobility test, and then you are given a tailor-made plan to work off.
WHAT WE'VE WATCHED
#1 Explained
A Netflix program that was created by the news site Vox. It is a docuseries where the episodes all focus on different topics and are 15-20 minutes long. Some are health-related like 'Why Diets Fail' and 'The Future Of Meat' and some are on topics such as coding, billionaires and cults. It is easy to understand information you've probably been curious about.
#2 Andy Murray Resurfacing
A cool documentary on Amazon Prime about Andy Murray's ongoing hip injury, surgeries and how he maintained his motivation and work ethic when the odds were stacked against him. It is a bit of a look into his life, determination and cheeky character you wouldn't have seen before.
#3 The Happiness Paradox
A nice little Youtube clip by the popular YouTuber, Matt D'Avella. Matt is a filmmaker who focuses on minimalism. His work is very creative and thought-provoking. He speaks in this video about gratitude and acceptance in relation to happiness.
PRODUCTS WE'RE LOVING
Avocado Mayonnaise
Sounds weird... tastes delicious! We love it with baked sweet potato or with boiled eggs. Give it a try!
Pip & Nut Cups
Love their peanut butter and almond butter (and all the variations). Their new cups are a DELICIOUS sweet treat. Remember- balance.
