Summary

Renowned fitness expert Jillian Michaels joins me, Courtney Swan, for a candid exploration of the often turbulent relationship between politics and health. Jillian opens up about her lifelong journey as a Democrat in California, sharing her personal experiences and insights into the unsettling political shifts she has observed. As we exchange stories, I recount my own evolution from a Republican upbringing in Texas to embracing progressive causes, only to feel a sense of disillusionment with recent political developments. Together, we navigate our political dissonance, emphasizing respect, empathy, and the quest for clarity amidst a polarized world. The episode also delves into the pressing concerns about corporate influence and media manipulation. We confront contentious topics such as the use of drugs like Ozempic for weight loss, the obesity narrative, and the urgent need for regenerative farming. Through personal reflection and insightful discussion, we underscore the importance of remaining informed and open-minded, encouraging listeners to engage critically with the narratives that shape our lives.

0:00.0	On today's episode of the Real Foodology podcast, I think you feel this way, too, is where I never really was political. I never really cared. I never even really paid attention.
0:08.9	They made it political. Exactly. And then they made health. They put it in our backyard.
0:14.1	Hi, friends. Welcome back to another episode of the Real Foodology podcast. As always, I'm your host, Courtney Swan. And today's episode, I sat down with
0:21.9	Jillian Michaels. This was a very different podcast episode than I've ever done because it is
0:29.2	actually not fully based in health. So we weave what's happening right now in politics with
0:34.4	the health world into just a general conversation about our thoughts around
0:40.1	the election and what made us feel as though our party really left us. I've talked about this a lot
0:49.8	on my Instagram. I've never actually really fully addressed this on the podcast. I feel like there's no one
0:55.1	better than Jillian Michaels to have this conversation with. She's so eloquently spoken. She's
1:00.5	very outspoken as well about her beliefs and what she feels like has been happening politically
1:06.4	in the last couple of years. She's a gay woman. She has been Democrat, her whole life. She grew up in
1:12.3	California, and she started noticing and realizing that there were things that were happening

1:26.2	I was starting to feel the same way where there's just wacky stuff starting to happen. Policies being passed, like the $900
1:31.8	merchandise law. By the way, if y'all don't live in California, may not even know that this is
1:35.5	happening, but let me explain you a couple things because some of them we talked about and some of them
1:38.7	we didn't. Things that started to wake me up personally was there was a law that was passed in California where
1:44.6	people could walk into a store, steal up to $900 worth of merchandise, and not be convicted.
1:51.2	In fact, the security guards were told that they are not legally allowed to intervene at all.
1:56.2	So you don't have to look that far to find the videos. You can go online and find videos of people
2:00.3	just waltzing out of a Walgreens with $900 worth of merchandise in a shopping cart and the
