In this kickoff episode of the "Get Fit Sanely" podcast series, host Dan Harris speaks with producers Marissa Schneiderman and Eleanor Vassili about the upcoming month-long focus on fitness and well-being. They discuss the series' guiding question: how to care for your body without losing your mind, and share personal stories related to fitness, body image, and parental influences. The producers highlight key guests and topics, including interoception, the benefits of nature, the science of motivation, gut health, and the importance of rest, while also introducing a new component: guided meditations by Cara Lai available for subscribers. They emphasize the importance of evidence-based, psychologically healthy advice and discuss the dangers of orthorexia, promoting a balanced approach to fitness that prioritizes overall well-being over achieving an ideal body shape.
