Between navigating busy schedules and balancing friends and family, it's hard to find time for self-care let alone to stay on top of the latest health and fitness trends. Luckily, health podcasts are the multitasker's best friend. They let us listen to the most entertaining and trusted voices in the wellness industry stress-free while we walk the dog, run, commute, or even cook dinner. And as a testament to their accessibility, they're more popular than ever.
Not sure what a podcast is? A podcast is a series of audio episodes dedicated to a specific theme, story, or topic. Think of it like a pre-recorded radio interview.
Health and fitness pods are an expanding category within the already booming medium. And as much as we love a good old-fashioned paperback, the best podcasts are just as informational, and they provide us with the satisfaction of educating ourselves at almost no cost. Plus, the often frank and *quirky hosts can make serious topics hilarious and relatable. You can sit down with Hoda Kotb and Oprah Winfrey as they discuss long-lasting friendship or step into Esther Perel's office as she works through the intimate problems of anonymous couples.
While simply listening to a podcast may not have an impact on your health, they can offer expert-backed guidance and inspiration to help us live our healthiest, most balanced lives. No time for a personal trainer, life coach, or nutritionist? Here are the best food, fitness, sex, and health podcasts to tune in to in 2022.
