Description
Welcome to Real Talk, Whole Life—part candid phone call with your nerdy best friends, part myth-busting, and entirely unfiltered. Wellness without the woo. Womanhood without the guilt. Wisdom from the fine folks who survived dial-up and low-fat lies.
Host Stacy Toth brings honest, heartfelt conversations about what it means to live fully—in your body, your brain, and your messy, magical life. From midlife mayhem and mental health to Botox alternatives and book recs, we’re covering it all—with a side of sarcasm and a whole lot of heart.
No shame. No pseudoscience. Just the kind of conversations you actually want to hear when you call a friend—especially if “wellness” has never quite felt like it was made for you.
Rooted in womanhood, open to anyone who’s ever been side-eyed in a yoga studio. Come for the hot takes, stay for the healing.
Real Talk, Whole Life is hosted by Stacy Toth, bestselling diet culture author turned anti-diet health at any size educator. Her goal is to create a safe space for all to explore their own version of wellness without the elitist self-focused woo woo. Previously The Whole View and The Paleo View, this evolution of the podcast is a reflection of the growth we all go through exploring being middle aged. Expect a wide variety of guests on an even greater variety of topics, but always inclusive ways for non-toxic living (mental and physical).

Stacy drops in with a big announcement! She has always loved thinking deeper on popular fads and in her upcoming Is It Real podcast, Stacy will have a series of shows dedicated to one topic. Each will be a deep dive into the facts and truth behind something, as well as the misinformation.
She'll bring you along as she researches topics like, why people think they need coffee enemas or chia seed water when they wake up; how new administration policies and recommendations could help or hurt health protective regulations; if conspiracy theories have any validity or are simply the result of toxic fear-based myths; and much more on what may be true or what may be harmful and rooted in pseudoscience.
Together you'll figure out, is it real?

The best podcast I've found! Informative and fun! I look forward to each episode - keep up the good work!
My favorite podcast, I have followed these two ladies since almost the beginning. It's probably one of the resources I trust the most everything is based on science and a broad view of the whole spectrum. Not just hand picked bits and pieces that fits a particular idea. And they are just funny and relatable women on top of being smart.
Can’t wait to hear what they come out with next ☺️
I’m really thankful for the wholistic approach and scientific focus
I’ve loved this podcast for the last eight years!
Have you all ever looked into Einkorn?
Yes! I use tart cherry juice and I think it works!
Thanks so much for this information! Do you know why it is red needs to be isolated from the color spectrum to get these benefits?
