Our community is the heart of our success.

Your consistency, energy, and commitment helped Burn Boot Camp not only expand nationwide but also set new records for impact and member transformation. And now, we’re entering 2026 stronger than ever.

A Year Defined by Member Strength and Community Momentum

Throughout 2025, the Burn nation raised the bar:

• Thousands of Members crushed personal records, transformations, and milestones.
• Camps nationwide saw stronger attendance, more community events, and deeper member engagement.
• New gyms opened across the country — each one built on the same supportive environment that keeps members coming back day after day.
• Burn Boot Camp expanded into 36 new communities, including our first location in West Virginia — meaning even more families now experience the power of Burn.

And behind the scenes, our Franchise Partners — many of whom started as Members — continued pouring love, effort, and leadership into every camp.

More than 80% of our Franchise Partners are women, many balancing families, careers, and their own fitness journeys while leading thriving Burn communities.

Why Members Are at the Center of Our Growth

Burn Boot Camp’s continued momentum isn’t just about business — it’s about the people behind every push-up, every high‑five, and every early‑morning workout.

Members helped drive:

Stronger gyms

Your energy fuels attendance, referrals, and the sense of community that makes each location feel like a second home.

Healthier communities

From supporting charity workouts to local partnerships, Members continue to share positivity and strength beyond the blue floor.

A more connected Burn Nation

Through our podcast, social pages, events, and Burn On Demand, Members help spread the Burn mission far beyond the gym.

Recognition Earned by Our Member Community

Because of the collective spirit of our Members and Franchise Partners, Burn Boot Camp earned national recognition again in 2025, including:

• Entrepreneur’s Franchise 500
• Inc. 5000
• Franchise Times Top 400
• Franchise Business Review: Top Franchises for Veterans & Top Brands for 2026

Looking Ahead: Growing Our Burn Family in 2026

This year, Burn Boot Camp aims to open 100 new gyms — meaning more communities will experience the same culture of strength and support our Members helped create.

We’re also expanding partnerships with leaders across the wellness space to offer Members a more complete, holistic health experience — because your fitness journey deserves resources that care for your whole life, not just your workouts.

Thank You, Burn Nation

Everything we achieved in 2025 — every milestone, every award, every new location — is a direct reflection of the people on the floor showing up with grit and heart.

We’re proud of you. We believe in you. And we can’t wait to grow with you in 2026.

We partnered with Talker Research in a recent survey, which revealed that 43% of women have never lifted weights at the gym, and among those who have, 55% feel intimidated—often due to confidence concerns or fear of being judged.

“Strength training doesn’t have to be complicated—it’s about moving your body with purpose and building confidence, stamina, and endurance along the way,” says Matt Morris, VP of Fitness at Burn Boot Camp. “Our Strength & Conditioning Challenge proves that simple, consistent training creates powerful results.”

Our 28 Day Strength & Conditioning Challenge points to a future where fitness isn’t just about the workout, it’s about belonging. It combines conditioning workouts, progressive strength training, and foundational movement patterns to deliver real results while building mental resilience and confidence. “People want workouts that fit their lives and still deliver results; that’s exactly what the 28-Day Strength & Conditioning Challenge does.” shares Matt Morris.

And the transformation goes beyond the physical. Isabel, a mom of two, walked into Burn Boot Camp Apopka, FL, three years ago, not just hoping to feel better in her own skin but wanting to become someone her children could truly look up to. Since that day, everything has changed. She’s lost 80 pounds and gained the confidence to teach her kids what real strength means: showing up and pushing through, even on the hardest days.

After undergoing surgery, Carlos, 65, joined Burn Boot Camp Spartanburg, SC, to stay healthy for his family. Now, he trains alongside his daughters to keep up with his grandkids. “Being able to do this workout, I see the long-term benefits,” Carlos says. “I look forward to coming because of the challenges it provides me.”

With 140,000+ members nationwide, 600 locations across 44 states, Burn Boot Camp is more than a gym, it’s a place where you’re seen, supported, and surrounded by people who believe in you. “Gyms can be so much more than just a place to work out,” says co-founder, Morgan Kline. “When a gym becomes a community, it transforms not only your body but your entire life.”

This $79 challenge is the first step in a long-term commitment to total well-being, physically, mentally, and emotionally.

Losing weight (43%), improving sleep quality (40%) and developing better eating habits (36%) were the most common health goals for women, followed closely by increasing physical strength (29%).

A survey, conducted by Talker Research on behalf of Burn Boot Camp found 43% of women have never lifted weights at the gym. Among those who have, 55% feel intimidated and worried about how they look, while 42% lack the confidence to lift in front of others.

The biggest reason to prioritize strength from those who are doing so was increasing bone strength (72%) while the aim to improve posture and balance was the second most commonly cited reason.

“So many people, women in particular, are finding themselves overwhelmed by anxiety and frustration around body image, fed by unrealistic ideals and quick-fix promises that tie worthiness to weight,” said Morgan Kline, CEO & co-founder of Burn Boot Camp. “Let’s be clear: people aren’t failing at fitness — fitness is failing them.Instead of perpetuating those hollow, disconnected messages in the fitness industry, we should be focusing on true empowerment through challenging workouts and mental resilience. By focusing on real empowerment — challenging workouts and mental resilience — we help women realize they can break any barrier.” 

What’s most likely to throw your best plans off track? The average woman surveyed felt the biggest barrier to not hitting health and wellness goals was overcoming a lack of motivation (43%).

Interestingly, nearly a quarter (22%) said a lack of confidence was a prominent barrier to achieving health and fitness goals.

But what do women feel can support them in their pursuit of physical and mental fitness? Support from friends and family topped the list as the biggest influence (28%), while having a workout buddy or fitness community (23%) ranked among the top three.

That sense of community resonates with respondents and 59% either already belong to a fitness community or would consider joining one to help achieve their health goals if it was the right fit. 

“Seeing women embrace strength training and push themselves to new physical limits is truly inspiring, added Missy Franklin, Olympic Gold Medalist, Hall of Fame Swimmer and Burn Boot Camp Brand Ambassador. “As an athlete, gold medalist, I know firsthand how setting those goals and becoming stronger doesn’t just change you—it changes everyone around you. It empowers not only the individual but also their families, too, creating a ripple effect of confidence, strength, and resilience.”

Survey methodology:

Talker Research surveyed 2,000 American women; the survey was commissioned by Burn Boot Camp and administered and conducted online by Talker Research between Feb. 19-24, 2025.

We are sourcing from a non-probability frame and the two main sources we use are:

• Traditional online access panels — where respondents opt-in to take part in online market research for an incentive
• Programmatic — where respondents are online and are given the option to take part in a survey to receive a virtual incentive usually related to the online activity they are engaging in

Those who did not fit the specified sample were terminated from the survey. As the survey is fielded, dynamic online sampling is used, adjusting targeting to achieve the quotas specified as part of the sampling plan.

Regardless of which sources a respondent came from, they were directed to an Online Survey, where the survey was conducted in English; a link to the questionnaire can be shared upon request. Respondents were awarded points for completing the survey. These points have a small cash-equivalent monetary value.

Cells are only reported on for analysis if they have a minimum of 80 respondents, and statistical significance is calculated at the 95% level. Data is not weighted, but quotas and other parameters are put in place to reach the desired sample.

Interviews are excluded from the final analysis if they failed quality-checking measures. This includes:

• Speeders: Respondents who complete the survey in a time that is quicker than one-third of the median length of interview are disqualified as speeders
• Open ends: All verbatim responses (full open-ended questions as well as other please specify options) are checked for inappropriate or irrelevant text
• Bots: Captcha is enabled on surveys, which allows the research team to identify and disqualify bots
• Duplicates: Survey software has “deduping” based on digital fingerprinting, which ensures nobody is allowed to take the survey more than once

It is worth noting that this survey was only available to individuals with internet access, and the results may not be generalizable to those without internet access.

Today, Lea feels more confident and joyful than she’s ever felt before. When we spoke with Lea about her transformation from that first Camp in January 2023 to today, she said that she is the strongest that she has ever been. “I can honestly tell you that because of Burn Boot Camp, I am the happiest and the healthiest I’ve ever been in my life… I am just happy and I’m proud of myself and I haven’t been proud of myself in a really long time,” she recalled.  

Lea and her husband had recently moved to North Carolina because her husband received a job transfer. She was out of her comfort zone and regular routine. Lea recalls going about three weeks without any human interaction other than her husband, so she knew she needed to find something to do that she loved, “I just needed something to get me out of the house. I was in a little bit of a funk, so I decided what do I have to lose? I walked through the doors and I haven’t left since.” She was initially attracted to Burn Boot Camp because the Universal Membership would allow her to go to multiple locations in the midst of moving, but she was truly impacted by the community she felt by the second day. From every high-five to each call-out from a Trainer, Lea felt truly valued and found a community in a home that was brand new.  

Watch some highlights from Lea’s story in the video below or keep reading to hear her full story.  

Q. Tell us a little bit about your fitness journey prior to Burn. 

I have never really been consistent with fitness in my life. I’ve tried running, I’ve joined multiple gyms, but I just kind of fall off on things. I’m either all in or all out.  

I was motivated to walk into Burn Boot Camp at a time where it was a little bit crazy in my life. My husband got a job transfer, we were moving, and I was by myself. He moved ahead of me, and I just needed something to get me out of the house. I was in a little bit of a funk. I just decided, what do I have to lose? I walked through the doors and I haven’t left since. 

Q. Why Burn? 

I picked Burn because I grew up in the Philadelphia area, we moved to North Carolina, and I wanted a place where I wouldn’t have to stop if I was going to start something. I didn’t want to have to give up. I knew that starting in one place with the Universal Membership I could keep going no matter where I lived. 

I can honestly tell you that because of Burn Boot Camp, I am the happiest and the healthiest I’ve ever been in my life. 

I walk around with a lot more joy and a lot more confidence than I’ve ever had. I am the strongest that I’ve ever been. I feel very emotional right now just talking about it. I am just happy and I’m proud of myself and I haven’t been proud of myself in a really long time. 

Truthfully, the community of Burn sets it apart. When we moved, I probably went three weeks without any human interaction other than my husband. Those high-fives saved my life. Honestly. When you move to a place where you don’t know anyone and you leave everything that you’ve known, it’s scary. Being able to walk in and get a high five and someone know your name in a place where you have to GPS to get there, is amazing. So really, honestly, truthfully, the community is what set Burn apart. 

I love being held accountable. You make Burn Sisters and Burn Brothers very quickly, so they notice when you don’t come to your regular Camp time, and they notice when you do something very exciting for yourself. They cheer you on, but I also love being able to do that with them, too. I love being able to come together and make a close-knit group of people that are proud of themselves. 

I could come in, I could pull into the parking lot and be having the worst day, but knowing that someone’s day is going to be made because I stand on the Floating Floor and I say their name, or I give them a high five, is the best feeling in the world.  

Q. How did you get started with Burn? 

I became a Member at the end of January in 2023. I was so amazed that by day two they knew who I was and they were looking for me. I went away for a week because I was going back and forth with my husband, and they were messaging me, “Hey, we haven’t seen you…” I felt very seen and because it impacted me so much, I wanted to be a part of that and give that back. There was an opportunity to become a Burn Ambassador and I jumped on it and here I am. 

A Burn Ambassador encompasses what the culture at Burn is. We are there the minute you walk in the door and we help carry you through the entire workout, all the way until you walk back out with high fives, smiles, and knowing your name. At our location, we get to make smoothies. I love to write fun notes on their smoothies at the end of their hard workout, just letting them know that we see them and we’re proud of them. We keep up the culture throughout the whole Camp. 

Q. What changes have you noticed since attending Camps at Burn? 

I think a specific moment would probably be, this is kind of silly, but just being proud of myself. Realizing that I’m proud of continuously showing up. I remember when I reached my 50-Camp milestone. It’s the most consistent I’ve ever been in a health journey. Also getting FOMO because I have to take a rest day and not being able to go to Camp, especially when it’s on a day that I want to do the Protocol, like leg day or something. I want to be there, but my body is telling me, “You have to slow down.” Just the fact that it’s even something in my mindset is a pretty significant milestone. 

Again, this is silly, but unexpected is my health, like my nutrition. I have always been an extremely picky eater. I eat the same things. I don’t try anything new, but the more strength that I receive, the more I understand the importance of fueling my body. I’ve been wanting to try vegetables. I love Brussels sprouts. If you would tell 10-year-old Lea that she would eat Brussels sprouts, it wouldn’t even be in the same sentence, but now I just love trying new foods and fueling my body. 

I think the Trainers have such an important role in making sure that they are challenging each and every person in a way that’s specific to them. So just the ability to control the floor and make sure we’re all doing something safe, but still paying attention and making you feel seen and wanting to push you and challenge you. That has been very impactful, that there could be 30 other people trying to do something completely different and they still will call my name. Most times I want to change my name on the Floating Floor because I’ve heard it too many times! The ability the Trainers have to challenge me in the midst of having to focus on so many other people is amazing.

Q. How did you feel after your first Camp?

I was really proud of myself! The Trainer came up to me at the end and said, “So how do you feel?” All I said was, “Hungry.” He said he’d never heard anyone say that before, but all I could feel was just super hungry and all I wanted to do was eat a cheeseburger at six o’clock in the morning. But that’s the point of Camp- to give all you’ve got, and that’s the best part. These 45 minutes are probably, honestly, the best 45 minutes of your day. Coming in, challenging yourself, pushing yourself. I love to see the way that we can move our bodies without machines. I see exercises and I think, “I would never have tried that on my own.” But that’s the point of Camp. 

A lot of times I think, “I can’t believe that’s over.” I’m so excited that it’s over, but it feels amazing. I don’t really have any other words other than that. I’ve always avoided upper body strength, I’ve always avoided arm day, it’s just not my thing. Then the other day I thought, “I feel kind of swole today, this feels good.”

Q. What’s your favorite part of Burn? 
The people and the community that’s built. Being on the Floating Floor and high-fiving someone, seeing that someone just did something really challenging, or they notice something really challenging that you just did. Or when you get the same group of people that come to the same Camp time and you look forward to seeing each other. Whether you’re on the Floating Floor or you’re not, even if you’re just in the parking lot, the people are my favorite thing about Burn. 

Q. What’s your favorite Protocol? 

My favorite Camp is leg day. My second favorite would be metabolic conditioning. And I’m just now starting to like body weight conditioning because I just like to see what my body can do. 

Leg day is just the best day ever. Heavy weights, squats, building your quads and getting a nice butt.

Q. Did you have any goals when you started working out at Burn? 

For the first time ever, my goal was to be consistent with something and to get out of the house. To just get out of the funk that I was in. I wanted to show up somewhere and be seen. That was my goal. My goal right now is to get as strong as I possibly can. 

I think being able to challenge yourself and push yourself, whether it’s lifting heavy weights or not putting something that I could do now on a to-do list for tomorrow. I think those two things are equivalent. On the Floating Floor, whether I’m able to squat a heavier weight or fix something at the house without waiting until my husband comes home. I think that’s the way that it translates. 

I feel stronger, not just physically, but I’m empowered and stronger mentally, which is really a big thing for me. I’ve always envisioned strength by the way I look or how much weight I could lift. But the fact that I can get up, and be happy to get up, and be able to encourage other people by what I’m able to do is a really big thing. 

I’ve spent a lot of time unhappy, not wanting to be around, and not wanting to be alive. I turned 30 and I was reflecting on what it looked like when I woke up on my 20th birthday compared to when I woke up on my 30th birthday. I didn’t even think I was going to make it to 30. 

I don’t even know if ‘happy’ is the right word. I think joy is the right word because you can be happy at certain times, but joy is finding a reason to be joyful despite what’s going on. Burn is a huge part of feeling joyful. Constantly being challenged, constantly being seen, constantly feeling valued, and being able to give that back. Whatever I get, I can give it back to someone else. I don’t even have words to describe it. 

Your whole entire life can change the minute you walk through the Burn door. The hardest part is walking through that door. You just have to do it. 

Q. What would you tell 20-year-old Lea?  

I would tell 20-year-old Lea not to give up, and that it’s going to get better. That you are very strong, stronger than you think, and it’s worth it. That other people are watching you, so you have to keep going because they need you. 

Q. Do you go to Burn with your husband too? 

My husband came to a date night Burn Boot Camp in February. I forced him to come. He’s athletic, he’s been athletic his whole life. He’s played every sport and I have not. The entire time he was so surprised that I didn’t give up. When things get hard, I typically run from them. Him seeing me be extremely passionate about something, not giving up, and keeping up with him has put a nice little friendly competition in our marriage. He really believed in it because he watched firsthand how it changed me. Now, my husband is a regular 4:45 in the morning Burn Boot Camper. 

Q. Can you tell us about a time you really pushed yourself? 

In September, our gym was doing Level Up games. They’re Member-specific games. You could either compete or do a non-compete. There were three different workouts and you’re pushing yourself to see how strong you are and you’re competing with each other. There were prizes, obviously. We love to say that the only competition is you, but it’s fun to compete against others, and it’s just specific for the Members in our gym. I would never in my life ever sign up for anything like that. I’ve always been the club sports girl, the girl who’s the team manager, always behind the scenes, but I just thought, “What do I have to lose by signing up?” So, I signed up and I’ve been training and still building comradery and community. It’s really funny because I should be competing, but I just think that everyone’s together and this is great. I’m just really excited just to show up, just simply to show up and show myself that I can do something. I don’t have any experience at all competing athletically in this way. I’m just really excited to say that I did it. 

Q. What does “two claps on two” mean to you? 

I think “two claps on two” changes depending on the day. Some times it solidifies Camp. Like, you did that, now you can go home. And other times it’s, we all just did that. Let’s celebrate.  

Two claps on two. One, two. 

Here’s the lowdown on being pregnant and fit — from getting started to staying motivated.

First things first, always consult with your medical doctor when deciding if it’s okay to workout during your pregnancy. Every pregnancy is different, every mom is different, and there may be reasons why your doctor will not allow you to exercise. Generally speaking, if you are not a high-risk pregnancy or have a concerning medical issue most MDs will clear you to workout, but check with them first!

Exercise is not only safe during most pregnancies, it can actually help stabilize common discomforts and often make the labor process shorter. Working out can also boost your energy, improve your mood, help you sleep, and prepare you for childbirth by strengthening the necessary muscle groups used in labor. Research suggests that exercise can also lower your risk for gestational diabetes and preeclampsia.

The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists recommends that pregnant women without complications workout 30 minutes per day at moderate intensity 3-5 days per week. The ideal workout will get your blood pumping, keep you limber, and control weight gain without putting you and your baby’s body in harm’s way.

Listen to your Body

It’s just as important to your health to listen to your internal compass as it is to exercise. Chances are if it doesn’t feel right, it probably isn’t. Being pregnant and fit does not mean you should sacrifice safety.

Here are some facts that will be your reinforcements while working out with a bump:

• Avoid working out to the point of exhaustion. A good test for this: you should always be able to carry a conversation while training.
• Don’t continue to work out if you feel faint, dizzy, lightheaded, nauseous, or notice spotting. Immediately stop your exercise.
• Movements to avoid: jumping, twisting, sprinting, or lying flat on your stomach or back after 20 weeks. No excess pressure on your spine and do not compress the abdomen after this point in time.
• Exercise in a temperature-controlled environment! Avoid an outdoor workout if you know you’ll overheat.
• Don’t perform heavy compound movements (especially in the third trimester) because your body is malleable. Your ligaments, joints, and muscles are at risk.
• Avoid all-new movements. Now is not the time to take up skiing or snowboarding. Your center of gravity is off.
• Don’t invert your body (go upside down) for any reason.
• Cross contact sports off the list for the foreseeable future.

Warning signs to watch for*:

• Vaginal bleeding
• Dizziness
• Headache
• Increased shortness of breath before you start exercising
• Chest pain
• Painful uterine contractions that continue after rest
• Fluid leaking or gushing from your vagina
• Calf pain or swelling
• Muscle weakness affecting balance

*If you experience any of the above symptoms, contact your healthcare provider.

Baby, let’s move! Here are some tips to keep in mind as you get moving:

• Become familiar with Piston Breathing. There is a good tutorial here.
• Inhale during loading, exhale during burst movement
• Stick with low impact exercises and modify all intense movements. Take breaks as needed.
• Moderate exercise for 30 minutes per day is recommended.
• Stay cool and drink plenty of water. Overheating can be dangerous for the baby so be sure to drink plenty of H20 before, during, and after exercise.
• Focus on strength training rather than intense cardio.
• Stretch before and after exercise, shortened “tight” muscles will get uncomfortable as your belly starts to grow + this will help alleviate lower back pain.
• Wear what makes you most comfortable.

Again, always consult with your medical doctor when deciding if it’s okay to workout during your pregnancy. Every pregnancy is different, every mom is different, and there may be reasons why your doctor will not allow you to exercise. Generally speaking, if you are not a high-risk pregnancy or have a concerning medical issue most MDs will clear you to workout, but check with them first!

Let’s chat about intermittent fasting!  

There’s a lot of hype around intermittent fasting—and a lot of questions about it, too. How do you intermittent fast? What kind of intermitting fasting should you do? Do you need to intermittent fast to see the results you want?  

For starters, intermittent fasting consists of intervals of fasting during which you abstain from eating for a designated period of time. The purpose is to make your body switch from burning sugar as fuel to burning body fat as fuel. So of course it’s a tool used by many to aid in weight loss and increase lean muscle mass.  

Intermittent fasting has been something I’ve wanted to discuss for a very long time on Coffee & Kettlebells, although I couldn’t find the right person to educate us on the topic. There are countless health and fitness experts who preach intermittent fasting and that it’s the best thing for your health and fitness. While I’m not disagreeing, we are so careful about ensuring we bring guests on the podcast that will provide us with non-biased information and, with intermittent fasting, that’s definitely hard to find.  

Thankfully, I found the perfect guest, Mckel Kooienga, MS, RDN, LDN, which many of you know as Nutrition Stripped on Instagram. Mckel is a Registered Dietitian and a self-coined inner health designer, who has created a trailblazing mind-body health company that supports the wellbeing of people around the world. In this episode, Mckel gives us the 411 on intermittent fasting, sharing both the benefits and drawbacks, and helps us understand whether or not we would benefit from it. 

 
What You’ll Learn:  

• -The different forms of intermittent fasting 
• -The benefits of Intermittent fasting for women 
• -Whether or not one style of intermittent fasting is more effective
• -How to know which type of intermittent fasting is right for you
• -Important precautions women need to consider before/during intermittent fasting 
• -Whether or not you need to intermittent fast to reach your goals

How many times have you felt cute and confident in an outfit until you catch a glimpse of yourself in the mirror and instantly lose your self-confidence?

And, how many times have you allowed your opinion of your reflection in the mirror to trigger negative internal dialogue like “I’m so fat” or “I can’t believe how ugly I look”? 

Most of us probably cannot even count! It’s crazy how quickly we go from feeling confident to feeling self-conscious with just one glimpse in the mirror. It’s even more crazy how much of our self-worth and self-confidence we place in the reflection we see in the mirror. 

If this sounds like you and you are a victim of the “fat” mirror, this episode is for you! 

In this episode of Coffee & Kettlebells, I chat with you about the negative relationship so many of us have with the mirror, which greatly affects the relationship we have with our bodies. Plus, I talk to you about how we can change our perspective on the reflection we see to successfully develop greater self-love and self-confidence.

Do you want to feel less stressed? How about have more energy? Or, have better skin? A stronger immune system? Higher quality of sleep?

Thankfully, functional mushrooms can help! In this episode of Coffee & Kettlebells, the National Educator for Four Sigmatic, Danielle Ryan Broida, shares how we can use functional mushrooms to improve the quality of our health and life. Danielle, who is also a Registered Herbalist of the American Herbalists Guild, Certified Holistic Nutritionist and Instructor of Mycology, educates us on the different types of functional mushrooms and their benefits, including reishi, shitake, lion’s mane, chaga, cordyceps and more, and how we can begin including them into our daily diet.

Benefit #1: Boosts Your Energy

Functional mushrooms are best known for their energy boosting benefits. We all live crazy, busy lives and spread ourselves way too thin. I don’t know about you, but I find myself refilling my coffee cup way too many times throughout the day to help me stay up to speed with my life. But, for some of us, drinking too much coffee makes us feel worse. In this episode of Coffee & Kettlebells, Danielle shares how we can use functional mushrooms to cut-down on the coffee we consume without compromising that boost of energy we all need.

If you are ready for the boost of energy right now, you’re going to want to try out Four Sigmatic’s ground coffee with Lion’s Mane and Chaga.

Benefit #2: Improves the quality of your skin

For most of you, I think the benefit of functional mushrooms you will be most interested in is their ability to improve our skin quality! Who doesn’t want brighter, clearer and healthier looking skin? Many of us buy countless different skincare products, believing the claims on the containers that it’s going to work miracles to improve our skin quality. Although, so many of these products contain ingredients we should actually be avoiding that are detrimental to our health. So instead of intoxicating ourselves with skincare products filled with a bunch of ingredients, Danielle talks to us about how we can use functional mushrooms to improve the quality of our skin and which ones in particular work best.

Benefit #3: Reduces Your Stress

My personal favorite benefit of functional mushrooms is it’s ability to reduce stress. Stress is unavoidable in our lives. No matter how hard we try, it’s going to be nearly impossible to rid ourselves of it completely. But, stress has such a major effect on our metabolism, hormones and overall health. We often think of mental stress, but physical stress from exercise and lack of sleep can cause the same negative effects on our health. There are functional mushrooms that can help sooth our adrenal glands, helping us reduce the impact stress has on our bodies that Danielle educates us on in this episode of Coffee & Kettlebells.

Benefit #4: Improves Your Sleep Quality

Do you always feel like you are running on empty? I do! For most of us, this is because we fail to get a good night’s sleep. Unfortunately, lack of sleep slows our metabolism, increase our appetite and food cravings and prevents us from being mentally sharp. Thankfully, one of the benefits of functional mushrooms is improving our sleep quality. In this episode of Coffee & Kettlebells, Danielle shares the amazing functional mushroom that will magically improve our sleep and how we can use add it into our diet daily.  

Benefit #5: Strengthens Your Immune System

From experiencing chronic stress and being deprived of sleep, we weaken our immune system. But, for us to keep up with our busy lives, having a strong immune system is so important. In this episode of Coffee & Kettlebells, Danielle discusses how functional mushrooms helps strengthen our immune system and which kinds work best for boosting our immunity.

In this episode, I chat with guest Dr. Marvin Singh, who dives deep into two important health topics we need to know more about: antibiotics and probiotics. Both antibiotics and probiotics have a huge impact on our gut health, which in turn, have a huge impact on our overall health.  

I know many of us have no idea there are negative effects of antibiotics. We feel sick, we go to the doctor, we get prescribed an antibiotic and we take it without thinking twice. While in some situationsantibiotics are needed, they are over-prescribed and causing more harm than good to our gut health.  

To ensure our gut health is optimal, supplementing with probiotics is essential. But, if you’re anything like me, picking out the right probiotic is confusing and overwhelming! Do I want 10 billion or 50 CFUs?What even are CFUs? How many strands of bacteria do I want? Which strands of bacteria do I want? There are so many words on the label that I have never heard of before, let alone pronounce!  

Dr. Marvin Singh helps us understand antibiotics and probiotics in greater depth, allowing us to make the best decisions for our gut health. He dives deep into the effects antibiotics have on our gut health, what we need to do when antibiotics are absolutely necessary to take to protect our gut health, what we need to look for when selecting a probiotic supplement and how to use probiotics effectively.  

What you’ll learn: 

• -What effect antibiotics are having on our gut health 
• -What it means to become antibiotic resistance 
• -How low levels of antibiotics in conventional meat can affect your gut health  
• -Natural ways to treat common illnesses without antibiotics  
• -When it is necessary to take antibiotics  
• -How to protect your gut health when taking antibiotics 
• -The best probiotics for you  
• -What to look for when choosing a probiotic  
• -How to determine which strands of bacteria your gut needs  
• -What CFUs are and how many billions we should look for in a probiotic 
• -The importance of researching supplement companies and the reliability of their products prior to purchasing 
• -The best time of the day to supplement with probiotics  
• -Why you want to cycle your probiotic supplements  
• -How to increase the effectiveness of probiotics with prebiotics 
• -About sinbiotics
