Gretchen Rubin and Elizabeth Craft ask themselves, “What happens if I ignore this?” and notice that a lot of potential anxieties never bubble up just by asking this simple phrase. Then they are joined by author and co-creator of the Whole 30 diet program, Melissa Hartwig, to discuss some strategies for jumpstarting your eating habits. And of course Gretchen’s demerit, which involves a duvet cover, and Liz’s gold star about reality TV.
