This is Joy and Claire. This is Joy with a hoarse voice. I was waiting to record this intro thinking that my voice would improve, and it has not yet. But it’s like Phoebe from Friends when she has the sexy phlegm. Except I don’t know how sexy I sound. But in any event, this interview was recorded last week before I lost my voice completely.

She’s really fun to talk to, as you’ll hear in this interview. She has such a wonderful personality. I feel like we could be really good friends if we lived on the same coast. I think you’ll really connect with her and the realistic approach she takes with diet, nutrition.

We hope you guys are having a wonderful holiday. [pause] Thank you Vanessa for joining the show and joining the podcast. Claire and I have been doing this for a long time. We have been in and out of all the diets. And just a disclaimer, sorry guys for my voice. I’m still getting over this cold, so I apologize in advance for any cracking or weirdness that’s going on. We’re just going to have to go with it. Over the years, we’ve been through it all. Just a little bit of background on us, Vanessa, we’ve done macro counting. We’ve done fitness and nutrition challenges when we probably shouldn’t have because neither of us are trained in that. That was like ten years ago when everyone was doin...
