Health and fitness spaces have always been political. What’s new is the acceleration of old patterns—purity, distrust, and “clean living”—which are now louder and more profitable through social media. If we truly care about health as carework, not content or clout, we must call out the forces shaping wellness culture.

You've probably heard the buzz about Ozempic, Wegovy, or Mounjaro. These medications were first made for diabetes, but higher doses are now FDA-approved for weight loss. They work by mimicking a natural hormone (GLP-1) that helps you feel full sooner, stay full longer, and quiet that constant "food noise" in your head.

Recently had Washington Post columnist Karen Attiah for a 2-day martial arts and movement intensive.

At All Out Effort, we use improv games and role-playing activities to help clients become better movers.

We recently had a visitor join us all the way from Atlanta to explore our approach to movement.
