Episode 81

#81 - Getting Bodied & Balanced with Autumn Bates

We’ve talked a lot about how we’ve been doing mentally, spiritually, & emotionally, but what about our BODIES? How do self-care & mental health incorporate physical fitness, daily habits & diet? SO GLAD YOU ASKED! In this week’s episode fo First Of All, Minji sits down with Clinical Nutritionist & YouTube host Autumn Bates to talk about wellness from a holistic & physical standpoint. For some people, researching fitness regimens, understanding our dietary needs, or learning our basic hormonal/chemical reactions can be daunting. For some people, it can be a passion & an ongoing journey of growth & education. But all in all, it is such a fundamental part of our daily lives. In addition to the fun scientific stuff, Autumn & Minji also discuss career paths, relationships, & ways that fitness & wellness interplay with our lives as a whole. With Autumn’s expertise of breaking down the clinical into simple & relatable, this conversation is an honest & helpful way to look how to tweak our mindsets & our behaviors to work, rest, look & feel better.

Listen to Inheriting from LAist & NPR

"Inheriting" is a show about Asian American and Pacific Islander families, which explores how one event in history can ripple through generations. In doing so, the show seeks to break apart the AAPI monolith and tell a fuller story of these communities. In each episode, NPR’s Emily Kwong sits down with one family and facilitates deeply emotional conversations between their loved ones, exploring how their most personal, private moments are an integral part of history. Through these stories, we show how the past is personal and how to live with the legacies we’re constantly inheriting. New episodes premiere every Thursday.
