Jillian explains why the explosion of online fitness advice has made it harder, not easier, to know what actually works, and gives her honest, nuanced take on the rise of GLP-1 medications like Ozempic and why she only cautiously recommends them to close friends under very specific circumstances. She breaks down practical, affordable grocery guidance using the Clean 15 and Dirty Dozen lists, and shares the personal story behind her own transformation, from a childhood shaped by her parents' divorce and food as a coping mechanism, to her mother enrolling her in martial arts at 12, the decision that changed the course of her life. Jillian and Sage also touch on how public conversations have grown more difficult and personal in recent years. A candid conversation about health, resilience, and speaking your mind on The Sage Steele Show. New episodes every week. The views expressed are the guest's own.
