Show Notes

In this episode, we discuss the Desi perception on diet and exercise. We all probably know someone in our families that doesn't prioritze exercising as much as they should; why is that? What in Desi culture has led us to devalue exercise and what implications does this have on our future as Desi Americans? How are Sofia and I going to handle making exercise a priority in our families? We discuss all this and more in this episode!
