Most people have heard the advice: “eat less, move more.”

And technically from a thermodynamics perspective… it’s true.

But if it were actually helpful, far fewer people would struggle with weight loss.

In this episode, we break down why this phrase, despite sounding simple and logical, often fails people in the real world. We discuss the gap between theory and practice, why oversimplified advice can lead to frustration and rarely to sustainable long-term change.

We also explore:

• Why “eat less” is far more complicated than it sounds
• The role of environment, habits, biology, and psychology
• How vague advice creates confusion instead of clarity

This isn’t about dismissing energy balance. It’s about understanding why knowing something doesn’t always translate into doing it.

If you’ve ever felt like you know what to do but still struggle to apply it, this episode is for you.

Your fitness activity tracker probably isn't fully trustworthy and the science backs it up.

In this episode, we dig into the research on fitness activity tracker (smart watch) accuracy, diving deep into the research especially for the Apple Watch, Fitbit, Garmin and Oura Ring.

From step counts and heart rate monitoring to calorie burn and sleep tracking, we break down what the data actually says, and the results might surprise you.

Whether you're training for a race, trying to hit 10,000 steps, or just wondering if your tracker is giving you the full picture, this episode is for you.
What we cover:

- How accurate are Apple Watch, Fitbit, Garmin and Oura Ring really?
- Which metrics are most (and least) reliable.
- What the latest research says about wearable accuracy.
- Should you trust your tracker's calorie and heart rate data? If not, how big is the margin of error?

Perhaps most importantly, does it matter if smart watchers and fitness activity trackers aren't fully accurate? Maybe that doesn't matter.

In this episode, Sohee and Ben sit down for a candid (and occasionally exposing) relationship Q&A in which nothing is off limits.

We kick things off with a rapid-fire round of “Who’s more likely to…” — from who apologizes first after an argument, who’s more likely to spend money, who stays calm in an emergency, and more.

Then we zoom out into the bigger stuff.

We share how we met, how quickly we knew this was it, and the small, everyday habits that actually keep our relationship strong. We talk honestly about balancing being business partners and romantic partners, how we divide labor at home, and when we knew we wanted to become parents.

The final stretch gets deeper:
What would actually be a deal breaker?
Is there anything from our past that still impacts us today?
What scares us most about our relationship?
What makes each of us feel especially loved?

If you’re in a relationship, curious about our dynamic, or simply enjoy hearing how couples actually work through things — this one’s for you.
