Our first episode of season three kicks off with a very special, long-awaited guest…a woman who needs no introduction, but I’m giving her one anyway because she’s ‘a my wife—Amanda Neiman. We explain the reason for our truncated 2nd season and our exceptionally long hiatus: we had a baby! In new-parent fashion, our conversation is a wild, sleep-deprived reflection on how we’re adjusting to the love bomb that just exploded in the epicenter of our lives: our five-month-old little boy, Asher Andy Neiman.

But wait! There’s more! In addition to being the mother of my child, Amanda is also an integrative nutrition coach, writer, and licensed attorney. She deals with ADHD and General Anxiety Disorder, for which she has been living medication-free for six years. Discussing her Herculean transition into motherhood, Amanda shares a bit about how her relationship to mental health is shifting as she adjusts to our radically new reality. She also dusts off her nutrition coach hat, offering her wisdom on the dietary protocol that keeps her sane. We even touch on current health trends, including the protein craze, Ozempic, and the anti-diet-culture movement. Somewhere along the way, it will probably become pretty clear why I chose to spend my life with this woman. Not that I’m biased.
