Recorded while hiking through Northern Michigan this past Patreon episode is pure family chaos and nostalgia. Chalene and Bret swap stories about wakeboarding delays, indecisive dinner plans, and the perfectly unorganized rhythm of Chalene's family at Hubbard Lake. Chalene also shares how her sister met her now-husband at 12, plus the wild chapter when their family bought a ski lodge and turned it into a restaurant, complete with a sous chef who got arrested mid-shift. Between laughs, they reflect on how the environment shapes health, how Gen X freedom compares to Gen Z's screen life, and why parasocial friendships can feel so comforting. It's funny, unfiltered, and very Michigan.   🚨 Join Chalene LIVE for Thriving after 30: A Live Masterclass to Reclaim Your Body, Confidence & Energy http://phaseitup.com/thrive   🎯Join Chalene on Patreon for 7 Days FREE  👉 http://chalene.com/more   💥 Book your virtual Age Well Appointment today with MIDI Health!!  http://chalene.com/MIDI   💡What You Will Learn Why every "go with the flow" family needs a planner How where you grow up shapes who you become The ski lodge story that ended in an arrest What Gen X understood about real connection Why online friendships can feel so real   🤓 Check out the Book: The Anxious Generation by Jonathan Haidt   https://amzn.to/4h14bYA   🎯 Thank you to our Sponsor!!!

Big Pharma has convinced millions that GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic and Mounjaro are the only way to quiet food noise and lose weight. But what if their own studies told a very different story?
