Off The Gram

According to the CDC, 6 in 10 US adults have a chronic disease. 4 in 10 US adults live with two or more. Hard to diagnose, they often "come & go" leaving others wonder if “their condition” is all in their head, a desperately frustrating feeling for those who suffer. Our guest today, Nitika Chopra, has lived her entire life with chronic illness. She went from feeling isolated and wondering abou...

Daphne Oz is known for many things (TV personality, best-selling author, chart-topping podcast host), but redefining modern motherhood most of all. As one of television’s most recognizable faces (The Chew, The Dish on Oz, FOX’s MasterChef), it’s hard to believe that Daphne is also a mother of FOUR!! We chat about maintaining that fragile balance between health, happiness, sanity, & success, in...

Today is our official KICK OFF to VDAY SHOW!! We have a jam-packed extravaganza all about love… so buckle your seatbelts! First up, we talk: SEX TOYS!! (Did we get your attention yet??) After we cool down from that chat, we discuss the notion of “marketing yourself” to manifest romance with Holly Parker, celebrity Realtor and author of "Back on the Market: A Realtor's Guide to Love and Life.” And...

Living publicly on social media seems glamorous from the outside… a curated “best-of” reel detailing our smiles, smoothies, and golden hour selfies. But what about the other side… the ugly side of it all? Today, we’re joined by Gabbie Hanna, Billboard-charting music artist, vlogger and YouTuber with upwards of a combined 20 million followers. Gabbie’s new book, Dandelion, which recently debuted #5...

Today is our second installment of: CO-HOST SPOTLIGHT!! We interviewed our gal Jamie Hess to talk about “loving your hustle,” because truly no one does it better than her! Jamie spent two decades as a high-level Public Relations pro with clients including W Hotels Worldwide, LinkedIn, McDonald’s, Barry’s Bootcamp, and many more. Over time, she found that her favorite clients were always those in t...

Today’s show is about PERSPECTIVE. We all watched in horror as 2020 dragged on, and JUST when we thought things couldn’t get worse….. BOOM. Geneva S. Thomas is not only one of our girl crushes for being the ultimate #BOSSBABE, but she delivers the kind of message that we ALL need to hear right now. Media titan, champion for women of culture, and boundary pusher, we’ve had our eye on Geneva and her...

IT’S OUR ONE YEAR POD-A-VERSARY!!! Over the past year, we’ve jumped into the trenches together to live our best lives, channel our inner #girlboss, and navigate the ever changing landscapes of wellness & social media… and today in celebration, our show is about HAPPINESS! 2020 threw us all for a loop, and we are determined to make 2021 amazing. We’re joined by Hilary Sheinbaum, author of The D...

It's here y'all.... 2021!!! Ring the bells, the year of insanity is behind us... so does that mean the dark veil will lift and everything will be easy breezy?? With so much uncertainty as we step onto a "fresh palette," most of us just want to know what energetic color we should put on our paintbrush to start decorating the year with good vibes, health, & prosperity! Good thing we've called on...

We’re all ready to wave “BYE FELICIA” to 2020, and step into 2021 with a spirit of reinvention. If anyone knows how to refresh, revitalize, and reinvent, it’s Emmy-Award winning TV personality, Carson Kressley! As someone who has enjoyed such an incredible long-standing career (from “Queer Eye” to Dancing with the Stars and everything in between!), Carson has mastered the art of the refresh, and h...

Heading towards the New Year is ALWAYS a good time to shake off the old and welcome in the new, so today we talk REINVENTION with Rebecca Minkoff. 2020 caused many of us to reinvent a business, brand, or the way we earn a living, and Rebecca had been an A+ case study in successfully navigating that pivot. On today’s show, she “spills the tea” on her secrets to success and her ability to “reinvent...

If there’s one thing we’re all looking to do better - NO MATTER WHO WE ARE! - it’s finding balance. The juggle is real, amirite??? Nev hit the ground running in his twenties after Catfish and never looked back… now, as a producer, author, performer, content creator, husband, and father, he has more balls in the air than anyone we know, but manages to balance his incredible career with wellness, fa...

Get ready for our new series, where we turn the tables on... everything! Today’s guest is our very own co-host, Christine Bibbo-Herr, aka @NYCpretty !! At 45 years young, Christine lives a vibrant, colorful, and joy-filled life with her hubby of over a decade, John… so why do so many people ask her if she’s “truly” happy, given the fact that the duo never had kids? Why do we feel so much pressure...

Today’s guest Leigh Clark is one of life’s magical unicorns who throws kindness around like confetti, but she wasn’t always that way. In 2008 at the age of 29, Leigh lost her job and had to move back in with her parents… and realized she had an opportunity for a “restart.” She started a journey of transformation that included a daily random act of kindness… after paying off one lucky person’s holi...

Ok, so here we are…. our 40s. We know not all of our listeners are there… but some of you are. And the rest of you will be! So we want to chat about an often taboo topic which shouldn’t be… PERIMENOPAUSE. First of all, what it is? What’s gonna happen to us? What should we do about it?? And WHY DOES NO ONE TALK ABOUT THIS STUFF??? Many women think that “vocalizing” our aging process is somehow emba...

Adulting, man. It’s hard! One day you’re young, wild, and free, the next… no sleep, taxes, and craziest of all, someone actually put you in charge of keeping little humans alive!! It can all be… A LOT. Have you ever caught yourself taking yourself WAY too seriously?? It can be a delicate balance: being a "responsible grownup" while reserving the right to laugh (at yourself!) when you royally screw...

The temperatures are dropping and the air is getting crisp…. And DRY!! This time of year can really do a number on our skin, and we are definitely waving the white flag when it comes to winter skin care. We all want good skin, we all want to look YOUNG (!), and there are so many products on the market right now we’re just OVERWHELMED... it’s so hard to separate the “winners” from the “hocus-pocus....

Here on Off the Gram, we do our best to help people make sense of wellness in the greater context of the socio-cultural landscape, and perhaps no week is it more important than this one. With the election coming up tomorrow, we all recognize that so much is at stake. No matter where you fall on the political spectrum, it is clear that the world is in turmoil and we’re all just looking for some pea...

Atkins, Keto, Intermittent Fasting, Wheat Belly, the Zone, South Beach, Paleo, Volumetrics, High Fiber, Raw, Weight Watchers, the list goes on. And on. And ON… Why are fad diets SUCH a thing? And, what makes them different from “diets'' that have stood the test of time like: Mediterannian, veganism, macrobiotic, anti-inflammatory, whole foods, or plant based? When did we as humans become so discon...

"Going with your gut" - what does that mean to you? Today's guest, Dylan Lauren, preaches the benefits of "doing what you want in life, because that's what you're going to be good at." Sounds like a simple philosophy, right?? But how many of us wake up each day knowing we're not following our "true passion," but can't figure out how to set forth on a different path? Dylan is basically #LifeGo...

Nearly 50 million Americans suffer from an autoimmune disorder, yet It can take a person an average of five years and five doctors to get diagnosed, according to the American Autoimmune Related Diseases Association. Two of our very own co-hosts struggle with autoimmune diseases, and we bet lots of you out there do too... whether diagnosed or not. We’re joined today by Dr. Natalie Azar, NBC News me...

In April of 2007, Arianna Huffington woke up in a pool of her own blood. She was two years into building the Huffington Post, all while parenting two teenage daughters as a divorced mother… so basically, juggling ALL the things, like so many of us do. She had been burning the candle at both ends, and literally collapsed, breaking her cheekbone and requiring stitches over her eye. She was diagnosed...

How does change happen? So many of us know change is required, but don’t quite know the right steps to make it happen. Some make the fatal error of staying quiet in the hopes of not harming anyone: afraid to say or do the wrong thing. Sometimes, we think we are the only person who feels things are wrong, since some things (like sexual harassment and racism) have been grotesquely normalized and acc...

What is Veganism?! Is it an expensive diet? A trendy way of life for “earthy, healthy” people? Does being vegan mean I have to give away all of my favorite designer handbags and shoes made of leather?! Can I still be a part-time vegan, or vegan-ISH and get some of the benefits? Why does it seem like there’s SO much dislike for this movement? And there’s so many new studies around plant based /whol...
