Friends Of The Bod

June is Men’s Mental Health Month! Chloë and Camille talk about patriarchy (what else is new), how it harms men, and how that translates to our five pillars of health.

Chloë and Camille talk all things food! You know you need it, but how much and what and why?? There’s a lot to chew on…let’s dig in ;)   If you’re interested in knowing your maintenance calories, Camille recommends this tool: www.niddk.nih.gov/bwp

Chloë and Camille discuss how to set a motivating goal and actually accomplish it!

Chloë and Camille discuss bell hooks’ classic “All About Love: New Visions.” Come for the wellness connections, stay for the patriarchy rants! Happy belated love month and barely on time Women’s History Month!

Chloë and Camille discuss sleep and why it is important and should probably be more of a priority for you (yes you)! This episode covers what happens in your body during sleep, evidence-based recommendations for sleeping like a cozy bear, and our own personal journeys to sleeping well. We also feature our second very special guest (you have to stay ’til the end, though).

Chloë and Camille discuss Tricia Hersey’s Rest Is Resistance: A Manifesto, and how the idea of radical rest is relevant to health and wellness.

Chloë and Camille have a ramble about the importance of community through discussing concepts from three banger books: Belonging: The Science of Creating Connection and Bridging Divides; Let This Radicalize You: Organizing and the Revolution of Reciprocal Care; and See No Stranger: A Memoir and Manifesto of Revolutionary Love.

Happy Halloween! What could be scarier than 2025?? Join Chloë and Camille as they dive into Kelly Hayes and Mariame Kaba’s 2023 book “Let This Radicalize You: Organizing And The Revolution Of Reciprocal Care” for a discussion around movement building, staying out of despair, and how activism can be a wellness practice. 

Chloë and Camille dig into organic food: the myths, the truths, and the very specific definitions.

Chloë and Camille use Steven Brill's The Death Of Truth as a jumping-off point to discuss critical thinking and strategies for lifelong learning in an increasingly fractured, bleak, and weird media environment.

Tangents? Check. Rants? Check. Light Swearing? Check. Join Chloë and Camille for their mid-year checkin (recorded June 2025) to check back in on our top 5 health habits and how we're both keeping up with them. Come for the banter, stay for the answer to "what's the opposite of a shout out?" NEW podcast music by SigmaMusicArt on Pixabay :)

Chlöe and Camille have their first guest on the pod! Chlöe’s husband Schuyler (@skyzillatron5000) joins us to talk about all things public transit: why it’s so hit-or-miss in the United States, how it can be better, and why it matters!  

Chloë and Camille talk about the harmful cultural narratives around weight loss and how and why it is glorified in our society. (We just scratch the surface here, watch for our next Substack for further nuance!)

Chloë and Camille talk about a universal human experience: pain and managing it! They discuss how it shows up for them both professionally and personally, and give recommendations and resources for understanding your pain and meeting it with curiosity. Tune in to see why this episode earned our first (and probably only) explicit tag!

Our first minisode! Chloë tells Camille all about deep tissue massage: the good, the bad, and the risky.
