142. Why the Internet’s Fueling Tips Drive Us Bananas

As the year winds down, Jenna, Reilly, and Lilly dive into one of the most chaotic parts of December: the pressure to set massive goals before January even arrives. In this Bananas episode, they unpack why so many athletes feel pushed to overhaul their routines, in the final weeks of the year.

They also call out some of the most unhinged trends they’ve seen on Instagram lately that seem tailor made to derail period recovery and balanced training. It’s equal parts eye roll and education as they break down what’s actually helpful versus what’s just holiday season noise.
