ABC Radio has a new health podcast titled Motivated and hosted by ABC News Correspondent Mara Schiavocampo. The podcast takes a holistic approach and will look at all things health, wellness, nutrition, and spirituality. After struggling with her weight her entire life, Schiavocampo finally discovered the keys to living a healthier, happier life, losing 90 pounds along the way. This inspired her bestselling weight-loss memoir, Thinspired: How I Lost 90 Pounds: My Plan for Lasting Weight Loss & Self-Acceptance. In her new podcast, Schiavocampo continues to explore health and wellness by speaking with doctors, nutritionists, personal trainers, celebrities and others who have taken their own journey to achieve a healthier lifestyle.
“The true gifts of fitness and nutrition are in how they make you feel, not how you look or what size jeans you’re wearing,” says Schiavocampo. “The struggle is real! But it’s also a beautiful journey, and a lot more fun when we travel that road together.”
New episodes of Motivated post every Monday on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, Google Play Music, ABCNewsPodcasts.com, and the ABC News apps. Additionally, a video of the episode will be available for streaming on ABCNews.com/Live the same day. In the first episode “Do You Even Need Exercise?” obesity expert Dr. Louis Aronne and trainer Noah Neiman discuss if exercise is key to weight loss and why it’s important, even if you’re not looking to slim down.
