Afternoon Snack

By: Meredith Root and Alex Parker
  • Summary

  • Alex & Meredith are nutrition and fitness coaches and owners of Tactic Nutrition, sure. But this podcast is so much more than that. They are also no-bs straight shooters who want to take out the trash of the health and fitness business, one macro at a time. So yes they will talk workouts, weight training, cardio/endurance, and eating and meal plans. But they will also talk about how the health and wellness space has been affected by social media. What its like to be a competitive athlete with your own spouse but you also own a business together. And maybe occasionally why getting a cat before getting a dog was a good idea and how there is very little good lesbian tv content out there. So join them and the Tactic Nutrition team each week for new episodes right here on Afternoon Snack!

They touch on the value of a potential four-day work week, the ability to use your extra time to improve on a skill, even if you don’t currently have a lot of money to invest, and ultimately the idea of doing what makes you happy.
