Michael Bostick
This is the Skinny Confidential, him and her.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
Hannah, I have watched you on Instagram for a long time. Your content pops up, up for me, surprisingly, all the time because I love routines and I'm obsessed with watching other people's routines. So your content's always popping up. And I remember, I think one time it popped up and you were using the ice roller, or maybe it was the mouth tape, and I was like, oh, my God, this girl's amazing.
Hannah Poynter
You're so sweet. I love your products.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
Thank you.
Hannah Poynter
Genuinely, like anyone who knows me knows I love to try things. I'll always try something and then I'll give it a good go. And if it's worth sharing, I will share it and it'll be like a ride or die. I'm very, like, loyal to certain products, brands, I and your ice roller, Brow Peptide like all this stuff. I love it. The mouth tape, I mean, honestly, like, you've created such an incredible, like, empire. Both of you, like my friends at home. I mean, I've always been a fan of this getting confidential. Even, like, your. The advice that you guys gave, like, before I started Macrohabits, I've always listened and I've taken a lot from all the different episodes you do, interviewing all different types of people, entrepreneurs. It's just been very insightful for me as a entrepreneur and it's really helped me build my business. And so being here is like a very full circle moment.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
Well, you have put in the open.
Lauren Everts
Invite anytime after that.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
Oh, my God, let me play that over. You are invited on. You were invited on the podcast, which makes so much sense because your Instagram handle is at Macrohabits. And I feel like you're proof that your habits add up and that you are a product of your habits 100%. So first, since you're not it, since you're not into a lot of long form content. I would love to get the background of your story.
Hannah Poynter
Yeah.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
Tell us about when you wanted a lifestyle change in 2017.
Hannah Poynter
So I, for a little just general background, I went to Utah State. I did the college thing and I've just never been someone that's loved school. I loved the social element. I, I didn't mind the routine, but for some reason, like just the school aspect, academic side just wasn't somewhere. I thr. You get it.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
Yeah.
Hannah Poynter
And so my parents, you know, they were, I have amazing parents. They're very supportive, but they're also not like they, I didn't grow up just being handed anything I wanted. They did a really good job of like spoiling me, but also making me work, especially my dad. And when I've always kind of had, you know, an athletic frame, I've always been in sports. My dad was very like pushed me into sports heavily. But once I was in my later years in college, I was kind of stuck and I didn't really know what to do. I wasn't necessarily happy with my body. At that point I started working orange theory and that really was like the catalyst into getting me into like the health and wellness world. But at that point it was all cardio. It was all low calorie deficits, very kind of extreme and intense. And so in that process I kind of, I really discovered reverse dieting, which is not talked about a lot. A lot of the time it's kind of talked about bulking and cutting. Like it's a very bodybuilder esque world. But reverse dieting wasn't talked about.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
What is reverse dieting?
Hannah Poynter
Reverse dieting is slowly increasing your caloric maintenance over a period of time to repair your metabolism. You can experience something called adaptive thermogenesis, which is really metabolic adaptation. So for example, if a girl is eating 1200 calories a day for a certain period of time, that then becomes her maintenance. So she's going to stop seeing results at 1200 calories. If she wants to see results, she's going to have to drop lower. So you might have to go to 900. And then you can see that's unsustainable. It's causing a lot of problems, not only in your body, but with like the mental and emotional relationship with food, all of that stuff.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
So this is what I do with the flexible diet coach, right? Yes.
Hannah Poynter
And I knew, I figured. I've listened to that podcast episode.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
Whoa. Okay. I didn't realize. I, for some reason I don't remember that it was called that, but when you say it, yeah, that's what we had to do. We had to repair my metabolism. So. So when you discovered it, what did you do with the information?
Hannah Poynter
So I did it myself because I was stuck. I mean, I was at Orange Theory. I was so burnt out with the cardio. I was just kind of burnt out in general there. I mean, it was a great. Like, it was a great job, and I'm happy that I did it, but I hated having a ceiling. I've always been someone that's been very driven. I wanted to make more money. And at Orange Theory, like you, you can only. You gotta cap out. And this was also during the year of COVID where the personal training industry was kind of wrecked. We were sent home for a while, and then we came back and there was a massive pay cut. And ultimately, like, I was just. I was struggling. I was starting, like, the bank account was getting lower and lower. And I am someone. Like, I dropped out of college. So the last thing I was gonna do is ask my dad for money. Cause that was kind of his thing. He was like, if you drop out, you're cut off. And I was like, that's fine. I can do it. And I did, and it was great. But once the Orange Theory and Covid got intermixed, I was like, I got to do something else. And I mean, the Reader's Digest version of this is basically, I moved home. I told my parents I want to start a business. I don't really know what I'm doing, but I know what I want to do because I reverse dieted myself. And I saw the benefit. I saw my body change in a way that was dramatic. And my relationship with food improved a ton. And I realized this is something that's not talked about. There is a missing. There's no. There's no talk about reverse dieting. This is like, missing piece.
Lauren Everts
When you say dramatic, what do you mean?
Hannah Poynter
I changed my body composition. So I've always been like. I would never say I was overweight or like, I. I just had a lot of inflammation. I've dropped about 10% body fat. So I've definitely leaned out. I. I'm very happy with my physique now. I feel like it's. It's been a journey. Like, years of consistency, years of habits. I've never taken the shortcut. So I've done it the hard way, which I think is more unattractive nowadays. But I will sit here and say, like, that's what creates the Long term results is putting in the work with the small habits.
Lauren Everts
I think it's more attractive. I just think it's harder. Yeah, people don't like the harder thing.
Hannah Poynter
I agree.
Lauren Everts
People like these.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
When you were doing reverse dieting at this time, were you just doing Orange Theory workouts?
Hannah Poynter
Yeah, well, I started to supplement strength training. Okay. So I started to do a little more strength training because Orange Theory did these classes called strength classes, so they would only do strength training. And at that point I was just so burnt out with the cardio. Like I used to be a runner and now I'm like anti running in a joking sense. Like some people are born to run and if that's your journey, amazing. But we need to separate athletic performance and body recomposition. And I don't think that going out and running three miles every day is necessarily the answer to lowering body fat, increasing lean muscle.
Lauren Everts
Now you'll have like someone like Gary Breco will come on and say, like, it's actually not what you want to do.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
I also think running this is my own theory, Lauren. Science.
Hannah Poynter
Yeah.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
It sags your skin.
Hannah Poynter
No, I know, sorry.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
I don't know what to say. If you're pounding the pavement like this.
Hannah Poynter
All day long, there's a lot of bouncing and shaking.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
It's a lot of bouncing and shaking. I'd rather jump on a rebounder if I'm going to be moving like that, the hard pavement. And also like, this is weird too. It's not that good for your feet because your feet are scrunched up regardless of all that.
Lauren Everts
Like, listen, I think there's a place for running, but I think the misconception with a lot of people is that running, running in cardio is what is going to trim fat off of your body.
Hannah Poynter
Exactly.
Lauren Everts
Right. Like, and that's like, that's just patently not true in most cases. If you're, if you're, if your main goal is just like weight loss and fat loss.
Hannah Poynter
Right.
Lauren Everts
There's more effective ways to do it, which people are now talking about.
Hannah Poynter
Yeah, absolutely.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
And so go back to, you're doing, you're doing a little strength training in Orange Theory, you're reverse dieting. What happens?
Hannah Poynter
I definitely started to lean out, so I just felt like there was this, it just my body. Well, and this is all paired with the tracking macros. Cause with reverse dieting we're tracking macros or not just tracking calories. So your, your three macros are your protein, carbs and fat. And I think it's really important to Track all three if you are really dialed and ready to like go in on the journey with body recomposition. Because every macronutrient has a role in your body. So in that time of reverse dieting, I'm also, I'm eating more, I'm eating way more. My relationship with food is so much better and I'm noticing I'm leaning out, my energy levels are better, my libido is higher. I have always, I mean, I think every girl, I mean I was on the I, I had the IUD for seven years. So I had some, a lot of hormone regulation I had to repair from that. I've been off it for two years and I'm kind of like in the clear now for the most part. A lot of moving parts with all of that. But reverse dieting was eating more of the right foods change my body. And that's what I built my business on. And when I started macrohabits, like it was very hard to start a business telling a girl, hey, like I'm just starting this business, but like you need to eat more to see results.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
So what has been the, the feedback when you tell women that initially, like.
Hannah Poynter
When I first started, they were like, no, no. And I was like, I, you have to trust me. Remember we're tracking macros like me breaking it down and explaining that I'm not just throwing you 1700 calories to go spend on whatever. We're being specific here. So you have to be protein focused, like you can have what you want in a way. And that's why I like tracking macros. Cuz I don't cut anything out. I don't cut out dairy, gluten, sugar, I eat it all. I also track macros with an intuitive approach. So some days I track spot on, other days I intuitively eat. Right now I'm not at home in routine, I'm intuitively eating and I'm not stressing. That's another big part of my program. I don't believe in the all in or all out. I do believe there's a beautiful balance between tracking macros and intuitively eating. And I feel like in social media or just in kind of the stereotypical energy with tracking macros, it's, it's a negative approach, but I think that you can do both beautifully and me and thousands of other clients have been able to achieve that. And so I think that that's the.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
So give an example of someone's listening of, of what you were eating and what then you added. Because I want to make it like so clear. So they understand the difference of, of what one situation looked like to when you actually reverse dieted.
Hannah Poynter
Yeah. So before, before tracking macros and reverse dieting, I was doing the whole, like intermittent fasting. I was like trying not to eat till in the afternoon because then I could have more calories. I was doing. I didn't really have any idea of protein that wasn't as heavily talked about as it is now. So just kind of eating kind of like a bird. Honestly, like, I just was trying to eat as little as possible and in return it would. I was so stressed about food. I. I want to be careful with, you know, the. I want to. Eating disorders are real, but I do think there's also like disordered eating. Yeah. And I think I struggled with disordered eating. I think I just had a unhealthy relationship with food.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
That makes sense. I think a lot of people have what you're saying, like, it's not, it's not a full eating disorder.
Hannah Poynter
Yeah.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
But there's. There is something that you can tell is maybe a little off.
Hannah Poynter
Yeah, I just, I thought too much about it.
Unknown Host/Announcer
Yeah.
Hannah Poynter
Food was controlling. Like, the food noise was loud. That was like, that was loud.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
I understand that because I had that before I implemented protein. Yeah, like, I totally understand what you're talking about.
Hannah Poynter
Yeah. It just, it controls. Like you get stressed about dinners or if like I had a date, I was like, okay, I gotta like, eat as little as possible or eat like, like a bird, like I said. So when I started reverse dieting, I. It was just like tracking macros was just this green light for me. Like the fact I'm very type A and the fact that I had this amount of fat, this amount of carbs, this amount of protein, I was like, this is amazing because if I wanted to go to like, I remember one of the. I remember like this vivid memory of me going to the habit. And I like pre track to the habit. I had fries, a burger. It fit into my macros and I felt so good. And I was like, oh my gosh, like, this is the best thing. Like, why aren't people tracking.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
How do you know how many macros to have? Is it based on your weight?
Hannah Poynter
So a wide variety of factors. I am very proud of the way that I write custom macro plans and the clients that are in our one on one program because I don't use set ratios, so. So no one has the same macro split. No one has the same macro plan. I am very intentional with when you come to me to get Your macros done. It's an extensive questionnaire and a three day food recall. So I also look at what you're eating because a lot of the time if you were to go online right now and type in your age, height and weight, it would, it might give you 160 protein, 240 carb. And you might not, you might only be eating 80 grams of protein. If you jump from 80 grams of protein to 160, that's where you're going to hate tracking macros. You're going to be, you know, constipated, your stomach's going to hurt, you're going to feel bogged down. You have to slowly increase certain macros. And that's the benefit of reverse dieting because you slowly increase that protein. We level out the fats and carbs. Some people do better with higher fats, some people do better with higher carb. You can kind of tailor it to that client, which is why there's such a high success rate with tracking macros and body composition.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
Do you think people realize how much it's messing up their metabolism when they're eating less?
Hannah Poynter
No.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
Can you go off on that? Yes.
Hannah Poynter
There are, I would say 95% of the people that go into my one on one program or I mean I write customer verse dieting plans every day. 95% are girls that are undereating. They're scared to eat, they're undereating. Not only is it wrecking, they don't eat, they don't eat right, it's wrecking your metabolism. So your body's very smart. It's one purpose is to survive. So if you are in taking not enough food, your body's going to strategically hold onto it to feel you throughout the day. You, you have a total daily energy expenditure. Like you're burning way more calories than just your workout. And I feel like people don't have that broad of a scale. Like they think, okay, I, I burned 300 calories in my workout. Those are the only calories I burned. But in reality, you have a lot of things that make up that total daily energy expenditure. So when you fuel your body properly and you fuel more intentionally, you're going to burn more calories. Especially when you have, and you guys know this, like more muscle, you burn more when you have more muscle, you know, or you burn more muscle post workout as well.
Lauren Everts
It's just like we know it, but it's helpful for you to break it down again because I think like we've done a lot of work for A long time to. To think maybe in a weird way, I've done some kind of reverse dieting and also have gotten to a healthy place with food. But even as you're listening to you talk, I think, like, it is a.
Michael Bostick
Disordered form of eating.
Lauren Everts
If you're scared of food in general.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
I know, but you have to understand Michael, and he doesn't understand this is that women have been taught and ingrained when we were younger. I'm not saying in this day and age, maybe like, I think it's a long time ago. More.
Hannah Poynter
Yeah.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
To do fat free. To not eat until this time, to not eat a lot of food. I never knew about protein when I was young.
Lauren Everts
And then, like, you've had people like Jillian Michaels have come on the show years ago and talk about intermittent fasting. But she talks about the difference between fasting windows between men and women.
Unknown Host/Announcer
It's different.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
Yeah, I think that there's. It's. We have been ingrained as women as when we were younger. Like, less food is. Is better. So it's hard to, like, flip that. Michael is someone who eats very intuitively. You, you. What's that practice that you were telling me Japanese people do where they eat only until it's like 80.
Lauren Everts
No, I think, like, you know, a lot of people. Again, this is a western culture thing. It's like you finish all the food on your plate. A lot of people are raised that way.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
What's the. What's the saying?
Lauren Everts
There's no saying, but it's just like.
Hannah Poynter
Well, finish your plate, then you can have a treat.
Lauren Everts
Yeah, exactly. So it's like, so, like, you have to be gluttonous so you can be more gluttonous.
Hannah Poynter
Exactly.
Lauren Everts
But, like, no, I think the way that I've always grown up and the way I always eat is as soon as I'm full, I just stop eating matter what's left on the plate.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
And he's. I've never heard him say, like, I'm craving a pastrami sandwich.
Hannah Poynter
Well, you're built different.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
Yeah, he's built different. So.
Lauren Everts
But I don't think. I mean, maybe. But I also think that when I think back on just the way that I eat, it's like it's a. It's a patterning thing. So, you know, with our kids, I will tell them, like, today I'm eating breakfast with my daughter. I'm like, okay, you got to eat the protein. You got to get that in first. Then maybe you want the toast and the other stick. But, like, you're not going to want as much of the toast first if you have the. You know what I mean? Like, you're getting the macros in the right order. I don't think we were ever taught.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
That as a. I also like to say to my kids, like, your body will tell you when you feel full.
Hannah Poynter
Which I love.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
It's so simple. Your body will tell you when you feel full. And so it's like, they don't need to finish the plate. They don't need to stuff their face the their bot. They have to listen to their body. So go on, go back to what you're saying.
Lauren Everts
No, by the way, quickly. I'm not debating. I, I agree that many women have been led down that path and think that way. But I guess what I'm just pointing out is that there is. If you, if you are scared of food in general, it's a moment to kind of like check in with yourself because that is a form of disordered eating. Like, if food scares you and you're having anxiety about the food, it likely means you gotta maybe educate yourself a little bit more around what you're talking about. Like, about how to interact with food in general.
Michael Bostick
Right?
Hannah Poynter
Yeah. 100. I mean, with tracking macros, like, I believe I do it the right way. And I've been on the wrong side of tracking. Like, when I first started tracking, I got put into like a lower calorie deficit. And then I went back to this girl and I was like, hey, like, I've lost eight pounds. Like, should I get a new macro split? It's been a few months. She's like, yeah. And she dropped me lower, so I got dropped. So I needed to reverse diet because I was stuck in that low calorie deficit. And that's why I'm so passionate about not only like macrohabits in general, but just like the fact that I am the reverse dieting. Like, I am who to go to to reverse diet. Because I've been through it. Like, I know how it feels to be scared to eat more. And like, you're stressed about food all the time. It's the food noise is loud, you kind of know where you don't know where to go. And so with reverse dieting, I would say 90 of the girls listening to this right now probably need to reverse diet. Wow. If you want to see results too, like, there's something about, you know, you want to confuse your metabolism here and there. Like, even with like muscle confusion. I know that's kind of become more of like a myth. But I believe, like, when you switch up your routine, new results follow.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
So you're saying it's not a myth at all. I have been reverse dieting with my last three kids because I gain 60 pounds.
Hannah Poynter
You're my dream. You're called the golden nugget. Yeah, but by the way, are the golden nuggets.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
Is that true? Because I literally ate my face off when I was pregnant. And then you stop being pregnant. You're not as hungry, obviously.
Hannah Poynter
Yeah, it's kind of like, no.
Michael Bostick
But joking aside.
Lauren Everts
And like, I joke on the show and say, like, the gym bros have already kind of like, gym bros did a lot of. But like, when it comes to this kind of thing, people know, like, yes, you switch up the workouts. Yes, you trick your body from a metabolic standpoint. Like, you, like, people know these things in the gym. It's called, like, plateauing, right?
Hannah Poynter
Yeah.
Lauren Everts
That's why also, runners, they stop getting the results because you're doing the same thing on a hamstring.
Hannah Poynter
Your body adapts, just like your metabolism, your body's going to adapt and like, the definition of insanity is doing something like the same way and expecting a different result. So these people get stuck in these routines and then they, like, they come to me and they're like, I've been doing this, this and this. And I'm like, well, for how long? I'm like, you've been at 1200 calories or 1500 calories for three years. Like, you have to eat more of the right foods. I will die on the hill. That, like the tracking macros part is the quality of the food and the total calorie intake is like the quantity.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
Is it hard for you when someone comes to you and says, hey, I'm vegan and I don't want to lean heavy into meat?
Hannah Poynter
I would probably say I'm not the vegan coach. Not the vegan.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
I'm just wondering if someone's listening and they're vegan.
Hannah Poynter
You can definitely hit your protein. Vegan. I've written independent plans for vegans, but I would say.
I'm very fond of animal protein. And I've seen the benefits of it not only in myself, but like thousands of other clients. And if animal protein isn't your journey, that's okay. But I think for me and my business, we work with like 95%, you know, people that eat meat. We work with all different types of, you know, if you're gluten free dairy, if you're like, all of that is fine and we'll Work around that for sure. That's the beauty of tracking macros. You can tailor it to the client, but I think animal protein is very important.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
You lost 25 pounds total, and like you said, 8% body fat. How long did that take you to do with reverse dieting?
Hannah Poynter
I would say with reverse dieting and multiple cuts at healthy caloric numbers, it's taken four years.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
And as you've lost this weight, you've been online and showed the Internet how you're doing it.
Hannah Poynter
Yeah.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
What are the habits that supported that weight loss that don't have to do with food?
Hannah Poynter
So obviously things I've. I've learned as I've. As I've gone. So I used to be really into, like, for a moment there, I was obsessed with spin and I was doing spin a lot and a lot of cardio. And then that kind of wrecked my thyroid. I started to get puffy. There were things with that that didn't work out. And I feel like with where I'm at now, the. The main takeaways is strength training paired with Pilates and outdoor walks. Those three things that is like the trifecta. I don't run. I don't do any cardio anymore. I don't do spin. I do legree Pilates. I strength train intentionally, though. I'm much more of a higher rep, moderate weight. I'm not the heavy lifter. I'm not going into the gym and trying to see how heavy I can lift. And I know there's controversy, you know, controversy there, which is fine. But for me personally and for a lot of other girls, all my workout programs are leaning and toning workout programs.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
I agree with you. I think that the strength training is so important. You know what else I like with strength training is p volve because I feel like it opens my hips.
Hannah Poynter
Yeah. That's what Pilates.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
Yes. My mobility Pilates too. It's the same kind of thing. But the mobility training is like it. The mobility training paired with weightlifting is like. I think it's like the secret sauce.
Hannah Poynter
I 100% agree. My lifts are so much better now that my flexibility is better. Yeah, I do pull. I love the flow of Pilates. I'm not on my phone. I have an instructor. It's like 45 minutes where I can really, like, be in tune with my body. But then with the lifting, I agree, like, I'm much more. I just feel more athletic.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
And how many times a week are you lifting?
Hannah Poynter
I lift five to six days a week.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
You're like me. I like to go intense.
Hannah Poynter
I love to move every day. Yeah, I arrest. Days are hard for me. I do active recovery days. I always go for a walk. If I'm sick, of course, I take rest. If I'm not feeling good, I take a rest. If I'm really inflamed, I'll take a rest day. I think you got to listen to your body, but I think I never work out to be sore.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
You would love if. Next time you're in Austin, I have to set you up with Sandy, who's been on this podcast because she's all about opening the hips.
Hannah Poynter
I would love that.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
Yeah, you would like her as.
Hannah Poynter
I really want to do the splits. That's a goal of mine. She will teach you how to do, like, I'm. I'm working at it, but, like, I'm so inflexible. I've just never been someone that's been flexible. So Pilates really challenging me in that way.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
Do you know I can do the splits?
Lauren Everts
I do know.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
Oh, trust me, I can do the splits. I know you know that.
Lauren Everts
I'm very aware.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
Yeah, I could do, like, the full splits. Don't be asking me to do Cirque du Soleil tonight, but I can.
Hannah Poynter
Is that all from people, you think?
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
No, that's from. Just dance.
Lauren Everts
From, like, when you're a kid, you can do that.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
Like, do not just, like.
Michael Bostick
No, but I'm saying, like, it's not something you can.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
You should be.
Michael Bostick
So can you learn the splits as an adult?
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
Girls can't do the splits.
Hannah Poynter
I can't. My boyfriend probably would love if I.
Michael Bostick
If I try to do the splits.
Lauren Everts
As a. I would.
Michael Bostick
I would be in the hospital. I would call.
Lauren Everts
I'd be like, I need you to come pick me up. I'm in the emergency room.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
Let's say. I feel like that's divorce.
So what are other wellnessy things that you do to support your lifestyle? Because you are known on Instagram as, like, the queen of routine.
Hannah Poynter
Yeah, I tied, and I always try something, and I'll do a video about it. So lymphatic drainage has been a game changer.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
Oh, my God. I gotta get you the dry brush.
Hannah Poynter
Yeah, I don't have the dry brush.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
I gotta get you the dry brush. Okay. So how are you doing it with massage?
Hannah Poynter
I do a lot. My lymphatic girl names Rayna. She's in Newport Beach. She's incredible.
Unknown Host/Announcer
She's.
Hannah Poynter
It's the lymphatic organic. So if you're in the Orange county area, like, she Is incredible. She's really opened my eyes to lymphatic drainage. I see her once a month and then I do a lot of lymphatic drainage in my face, which obviously you're like the queen of. The ice roller is amazing. I do a lot of gua sha. I like, swear by the gua sha. Facial, massage, ice roller, 10 minutes a day. It has really helped change my face.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
It changes your face. It sculpts your face. It's. I don't understand, like, it literally can change the shape of your face.
Hannah Poynter
I agree.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
I tell this all the time to Michael. I'm like. He talks to me about his heavy brows and I'm like, you have to stretch your skin under your brows every day. I'm constantly stretching that skin. It's the fascia.
Lauren Everts
You could work on the. Instead of doing that, you do the mood in the morning. If you could change that a little bit, that would be.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
I'm not going to change my mood in the morning. I don't like to be talked to until about 9:30.
Lauren Everts
That would be interesting.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
He wants to talk about his whole life story, monologue.
Hannah Poynter
It's a lot.
Lauren Everts
One of those, like, crank cars in the morning that back in the day, we have to, like, wind it to get it.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
Yeah, that's a great. Exactly.
Hannah Poynter
Yeah.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
But you could do a little. A little fascist stretch.
Hannah Poynter
No, I do my boyfriend, but I'm nice. No, I tell him. I'm like, I'm really nice for doing this for you.
Lauren Everts
It is very nice.
Hannah Poynter
Because he's laying there and I'm like, massaging his face. I'm like, can you. You can't. He doesn't know what he's doing.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
You want me to pull the skin on his eyes every single morning?
Hannah Poynter
Well, I also have no kids, so yeah.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
Oh, my goodness.
Michael Bostick

Years ago, our ancestors ate lots of bitter plants daily that made our digestion work. We don't do that as much anymore.

Lauren Everts
Feel like I'm breaking something new.
Michael Bostick
And that is why again, I am so excited to talk to you guys about fatty 15. Here's the thing. We have an incredible scientific breakthrough to support our long term health and wellness. C15 is the first essential fatty acid to be discovered in 90 years. And get this, studies have confirmed that it's three times better, broader and safer than omega 3s. Yes, you heard it here first. The origin story of fatty 15 is. Dr. Stephanie Van Watson, who's been on this podcast two times, first discovered C15 as the first essential fatty acid to be found in over 90 years while working with the US Navy to continually improve the health and welfare of aging dolphins. You ever seen a dolphin? I'm sure you have.
Lauren Everts
If you have, you know they are.
Michael Bostick
The pinnacle of health. That's what you want to look like, a dolphin. You want to have that smooth skin. Anyways, joking aside, check out that episode we did with Dr. Stephanie Van Watson. It is fascinating, fascinating. But the long story short is it's pretty simple. Essential nutrients keep our cells healthy, which keeps us healthy. If you want to get sciency about it, Studies show that C15 works by strengthening our cells, improving our mitochondrial function and protecting us against damaging free radicals. The result? Better long term metabolic liver and heart health. It ends up that many of us are also deficient in C15 which results in weaker cells that make less energy and quit working earlier than they should. All of this makes us age faster, sleep poorly and feel sluggish. If this sounds familiar, it's likely because you may be deficient in C15. Fatty 15 is science backed, vegan friendly and a pure C15 supplement with only one ingredient which is C15. So if you're ready to reclaim your health, check it out. Fatty 15 is on a mission to replenish your C15 levels and restore your long term health.

Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
What else are the things? Are you saunaing? Are you cold plunging? What else are you.
Hannah Poynter
So I used to be obsessed with cold plunging and part of my personality, I have a very addictive personality. So when I like something like I love it and I want to do it every day, I, I got like a little too intense with cold plunging. And I would start to go like, I'm like how long can I go for? And I got up to like 11 minutes one time and the guy was like, you. I got out and I was like lightheaded. Now he's like, you need to chill. And I'm like, I don't know, I'm just like fighting my demons in here. Like it's just like this intense thing, you know. So I Don't cold plunge as much. Also, I have hypothyroidism, so that was kind of contributing negatively to that. But the sauna, 120 to 30 minutes in the sauna, three days a week, that's part of my routine. And then outdoor walks, especially a post dinner walk, that's something I've been doing more recently. It's like part of me and my boyfriend's routine. We make dinner, we eat dinner, we go for a 30 minute walk. And it's just like the best. Not only for like your mental health, but it's good for digestion. It like helps you wind down. So I stand by the. I mean, walking in general is amazing, but making it like that 30 minute walk, a party routine, like a non negotiable, is really helpful.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
Tell me about the castor oil packs on the belly button, because I bought the stuff from your Amazon store. But something about it feels overwhelming to me, which is funny because I usually am like, I'll make it work. But there's something that's overwhelming because I'm like, is the castor oil gonna fall on my vagina when I'm sleeping? Like, I don't understand.
Lauren Everts
I'm completely lost now.
Hannah Poynter
So let me break it down. I'm gonna get very granular. I'm gonna explain this. So with the castor oil, it's kind of like I. It works. I will, I will say it works.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
He needs to understand the.
Lauren Everts
What are we, what are we trying to accomplish?
Hannah Poynter
Like who, what, where, when. With the castor oil, you want it to be like organic, hexane free. It's an oil. You put it on your stomach. So you can put it like anywhere on your lower stomach. It's really good for liver detoxification.
Lauren Everts
The castor oil itself on the stomach for liver detox.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
Tina does this too. Who was just on the show.
Hannah Poynter
Go ahead. So then I like. You can put it in your belly button. So your belly button is like one of the best ways to get something into. Your body has like 70,000 nerves or something. And so I put just a little bit in my belly button, a little drop. And then you can either do a wrap or you can do a patch. And then I like to, if you want to really go all out, put a heating pad on it for like 15 minutes. You sleep with it on. You peel it off in the morning and you go about your day.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
That's it. So I just put a little bit of the hex free? Yeah.
Lauren Everts
What do you feel something?
Hannah Poynter
Well, it helps with digestion. For sure. So I feel like girls struggle with digestion and it's not talked about, but like most of people, like I talk to struggle with digestion and like bloating and that inflammation.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
Bitter soda.
Hannah Poynter
But likely.
Lauren Everts
I mean, listen, I love a bitter. Again, I'm not an expert, but just like going by intuition, if you're. If you're up the rhythm of when you're eating and how you're eating and you're starving yourself, sometimes you're not other times and you're doing something like you're. It's confusing the body and then the body. Like. Like it should be on a natural time clock to digest, if that makes sense. Right. Like you should wake up in the morning digest.
Hannah Poynter
Yeah, yeah.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
So do you use the. The sticker over the belly button or do you use the pack?
Hannah Poynter
I like the sticker just because it's easy. But I will say you have to get the right sticker. And unfortunately, like, not all are made the same because sometimes it'll leave a little bit of residue on your skin. So, I mean, if that happens to me, I don't really care. But some girls are more like, oh, it leaves like a little bit of a residue. Also, that can mean you're applying too much oil. When I apply the oil, I make sure there's no oil on the adhesive, so it's not like marinating on it.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
So it's in your belly button and you just cover your belly button and go to bed. And it's good for liver detoxification. And it's castor oil and you have to make sure it's organic. Cold pressed, hexane free.
Hannah Poynter
Yeah.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
And this is gonna detox the liver. My first thought goes to after two margaritas. Is that a good idea for all.
Hannah Poynter
My clients or my coaches? Clients who drink. Like, we really encourage it because it does help with that detoxification. And it's just a good hack for like, I'm all about little small things you can do to better your day. It's almost like you're romanticizing your nighttime routine to have a better morning.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
I am. So, like, we're on the vibration.
Hannah Poynter
Yeah, I romanticize everything.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
Tell me about your story with Accutane.
Hannah Poynter
Yes.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
You mentioned that off air, your skin looks really clear to me. What was that like? Are you still on it?
Hannah Poynter
So I did Accutane. I finished April of this year. And I'm 29, so I've struggled heavily with cystic acne in my 20s. And I've done everything you can think of under the sun. I've worked with holistic practitioners. I've cut out dairy, gluten, sugar, done three liver detoxes. I've really tried it all and I've been very vocal about this on my platform. I've always showed my acne and it's been hard. It's been something that's been hard on social media. I feel like it's my only pain point. It's the only area where if someone kind of attacks my skin when I was having bad acne, it would like, like hurt a little.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
Who is attacking your skin?
Hannah Poynter
I mean, just people be like, oh, it's because you're eating this or you're working out this or the sauna. Like, they would just try to, like, diagnose me, which I'm all for feedback. But when you are, you know, single in your 20s and you have, like cystic acne plastered on your face and nothing you're doing is working and you're doing absolutely everything, it really was, like, such a hard trial. And if you have acne or if you've had acne, I know girls listening right now are like, I know how that feels. It's just. It sucks. You feel like half the version of yourself. I mean, it was a very tumultuous time for me with, like, my mental health. Like, I just, especially with being online, Like, I still had to work. Like, I have coaches. Like, I can't just take a social media break.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
And the problem that I think with acne and I. This happens to me when I get, like, dermatitis is that you don't want. People are like, cover it up. You don't want to cover it up because then it blocks the skin from breathing. Oh, it makes sense. So you're in this, like, weird limbo where, like, you don't want to cover it up with foundation. Well, you do want to cover it up, but then you don't want to cover it up.
Hannah Poynter
Yeah, well, that's the thing. I would just. I mean, and I'm a. Somewhat like, I work out early, so I'm not. I'm putting on. I put on your. Your tinted sunscreen in the morning and I'll do like, my brows and I'll go to the gym. So I just wore it, though, honestly, like, it. I just started to kind of have to own it. And then I finally was like, I'm going to do Accutane. But I was kind of. I was scared of Accutane. There's so much fear mongering with it. Accutane Changed my life. It was the best thing I could have done for myself. My acne. I had no bad side effects. I. I had no, like, all these, like, scary fear mongering stories I was hearing.
Lauren Everts
What are the scary stories for the uneducated, which is me.
Hannah Poynter
Yeah. You know, you wreck your liver or your kidneys, you have severe muscle aches, you can depression, super dry skin, like your skin's flaking off. I had dry skin, okay. That was my one side effect. My lips were dry, my face was dry. I applied my moisturizer. I wore Aquaphor. That's the only thing that was.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
How long did it take to go away?
Hannah Poynter
I was on it for almost eight months.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
Here's my question about it. It seems like when you get off of it, it. The acne then goes away forever.
Hannah Poynter
Well, so that's. So my. Okay, so my dad did two rounds of Accutane. My brothers have perfect skin. Like, I have acne. And I. From who I've talked to with, like, the holistic practitioners and dermatologists, it's more genetic. And so I feel like lately I've had a little bit of acne start to come through again, and I'm kind of dabbling with. Do Accutane again.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
Could you microdose it?
Hannah Poynter
That's what I'm kind of talking to a dermatologist about right now. I'm also right now on a topical spironolactone, which is really helping.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
That's really smart. You know, when I was on birth control a million years ago, I. I wanted to just get the compound of the spirulina lactin because I was worried when I got off that I would get pimples.
Hannah Poynter
I got off.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
I didn't get pimples.
Lauren Everts
Is that why a lot of girls take.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
I have other control.
Lauren Everts
Because of the spirulina lactin.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
Yeah.
Hannah Poynter
No, you're put on birth control as a, as a young girl to help your acne.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
Yeah.
Unknown Host/Announcer
Which is.
Hannah Poynter
It's a band aid.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
Don't even get me started on that. But the, the. If you pull the spirulina lactin compound. Can't you pull that? You said you, you do it topical. Can't you pull the.
Hannah Poynter
Like a pillow? Yes, you can. And I, I did spironolactone for two years in my, like, acne journey of, like, six years before I did Accutane. But the topical spiralactone is working. Okay. But I'm gonna say I might do Accutane again. I might do a second round.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
And what. What this Is my question, though, that I don't understand. After you do a second round, is it done forever or you don't know?
Hannah Poynter
That's the hope.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
Okay.
Hannah Poynter
That's. People say. I've talked to. It's a very. I mean, some people love it, some people hate it. I have talked to girls who've done it twice and said the second round really helped. Like, it kind of zapped it. They haven't experienced it again.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
Go ahead.
Hannah Poynter
No, I'm just. I'm noticing, like, little. I have, like, so much anxiety when I feel a little cystic one come through. I'm like, oh, no. Like, is it coming back again? Like, so I have a little bit of a. I think a. I'm a little fearful of it. Maybe too anxious about it, and I need to just, like, let it run its course. Like, do this. I'm doing the topical spinalactone, but I'm not scared to do Accutane again.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
I have two weird questions. Do. I'm sure you're gonna say yes to both. I'm just wondering, do you sleep on silk pillowcase?
Hannah Poynter
No.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
Okay. I would run to get a silk pillowcase. Get the best silk that you've ever experienced. I can send you the link.
Hannah Poynter
Yes.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
It's by the natural faces.
Hannah Poynter
Okay.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
It's so cute. You can put your, like, initials on it.
Hannah Poynter
Okay. Cute.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
I love her. She has beautiful skin.
Hannah Poynter
Okay.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
You probably know I feed her.
Hannah Poynter
I used to change my pillowcase every night.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
Okay, that's. That's amazing.
Unknown Host/Announcer
Which is so.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
I mean, that's pain in the ass, but try the silk.
Hannah Poynter
I'll do the silk. Yeah.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
There's also this brand called the Sleep Crown. I just got it for all my kids and me, and it's. It's silk.
Lauren Everts
You just get the kids.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
I got one for you, too. It's literally on your pillowcase, and it's silk. But. Okay, my other question. This is my main question. What detergent are you using?
Hannah Poynter
I use Molly suds.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
Okay.
Hannah Poynter
I love. I'm pretty. I try really hard.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
Because if you were going to tell me that you use something that, like, rhymed with schmide, I would not call.
Hannah Poynter
It using Tide O. Okay, good.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
So you've trained well. It sounds like you've tried almost everything for it. I think that. I think sometimes you have to make a decision and do what you have to do. And it's now in person, you don't have any pimples? I don't see one.
Hannah Poynter
Yeah, I have makeup on, which is. But I feel confident in my Skin. I'm very happy.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
Yeah. You look beautiful.
Hannah Poynter
Thank you. Thank you. I feel really good about it, and it's not like I'm, you know, itching to do Accutane again, but I think it's important to talk about it because it literally changed my skin. It changed my. I mean, I recently started dating someone six months ago, and I think it's because I. I didn't have acne. Like, I was just a better version of myself. Like, I was so much more confident.
Lauren Everts
Well, I think, like, stuff like that that, like, has a mental health impact that makes you more confident even. Like, you know, sometimes people say, don't do this or don't. I don't have a specific example, but if it's something that makes you more confident so that you can then go live other areas of life more productively or in a happier way, then I think, like, sometimes the health benefit outweighs. Even if. If the thing that you're doing is quote, unquote, like, not the greatest for you, does that make sense?
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
Yeah.
Hannah Poynter
Yeah.
Lauren Everts
Like, you know, that's why alcohol gets a really bad rap these days. And I'm like, in some instances, like, I'm not telling people to.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
When I sit next to dinner to some boring person, I'm having a cocktail. Like, I don't know what to say.
Hannah Poynter
As you should.
Unknown Host/Announcer
Yeah.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
I have to entertain myself.
Lauren Everts
My point is, is, like, some things in life, like, if they will help in other areas, I think, like, there's a little give and take where it's worth it. So in your case, if Accutane made you more confident and made you feel better and happier, that's going to pay dividends in a million other areas. So it's, like, probably a good thing to do.
Hannah Poynter
Yeah.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
What's the scariest part about what you share online? Because you share a lot of intimate things. You're sharing your cast, like, you're. You're sharing with us online. What's the most. The most overwhelming part for you?
Hannah Poynter
I mean, that's a loaded question. Because I'm very happy to share pretty much everything I like my reasons for everything I do. So I've been vocal about pretty much everything in terms of, like, I've had two breast augmentations. I just did a podcast episode about what I wish I would have done differently the first time around so I didn't have to get a second one. I talk about Botox. I talk about lymphatic drainage. I talked about Accutane. I was like, I'm starting Accutane. Like, here we go. And so I think the scariest thing is with me being on social media, I have a business. So macrohabits, like influencing to me is marketing for macrohabits. So every once in a while, when a video gets on the wrong side of the algorithm and I get like attacked for something, my fear goes towards, okay, I am selling a coaching program, I employ coaches. I don't want to upset anyone. But also I'm always going to show up as myself and I'm very confident in who I am. And sometimes upsetting people gets you right. It's an 80 20.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
Yeah.
Lauren Everts
You know, we never have anything that ends up on the wrong side of the tracks. It's always, it's always right down.
Hannah Poynter
Right.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
Can't please everyone. So the scariest part is when you feel like something's affecting your business.
Hannah Poynter
Yeah. Because of a decision that I'm sharing. But then again, like, I don't take it down. Like, I just got roasted for a Botox.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
Don't look. Don't look.
Hannah Poynter
Yeah, I don't want my advice.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
Yeah, don't look.
Hannah Poynter
You know what I do outside, out of mind.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
I live in my bubble.
Hannah Poynter
I don't look.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
I, like, I, I'm not gonna take on other people's energy. Like, I just, I'm not gonna take it on. And you just don't look.
Hannah Poynter
It's good advice. I like.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
It's literally that simple. Yeah, don't look.
Lauren Everts
There was a time on the Internet we're older than you, where looking was more productive. Meaning, like in the earlier days of the Internet, like there was positive feedback.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
There's a lot of like, constructive criticism.
Lauren Everts
Yeah, there's a lot of constructive criticism, a lot of positive feedback. You were able to like kind of inform the content based on what they.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
Now it's like, you're too fat, you're too skinny, you're too this, you're too much.
Lauren Everts
Now the problem is, especially with the way these algorithms exist, is they're all interest based algorithms. Funny enough, I just hosted a dinner with the head of Instagram. We were talking about this and like someone may see this clip that has no clue who we are or who you are based on the interest. And so it's out of context. And then that person, I mean, you.
Michael Bostick
See it happening all the time now, like.
Hannah Poynter
Yeah.
Lauren Everts
And so it's, it's a bummer because there's a lot of people that either listen to this show or follow you or been around that you want to engage with that are good people. I usually do that in the DMs when you know. Yeah, but like, public comments, you have to be really careful now, one, paying attention to them and to taking them seriously, because you just can't cipher anymore. Like, who's there for the right reasons.
Michael Bostick
And who just stumbled there.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
It's like, here's what I compare it to. When you walk into a room full of people and there's a cocktail party, I don't want to know what every single person in the room's thinking of me. Yeah, I don't really. I don't want to know because what they think of me is none of my business. It's the same with the comment section. I don't need to know everyone's. And by the way, I'm also talking about positive comments because you don't want to get drunk on positive comments either. So it's like, for me, it's just like, I'll engage with someone when I see something quick. I love writing back, like Michael said in the DMs, if there's a comment that I see, but I can't, like, get on board with reading every single thing.
Lauren Everts
But funny enough, good or bad, like, doing what I do at Dear Media, like, not doing this show. We work with a lot of talent and creators and influencers and celebrity, whatever you call them these days. And the ones that I think have always struggled the most to kind of, like, take off are the ones that are so petrified of, like, what public opinion is saying in any given moment time. Like, I can see it. Like, they'll come, they'll be like, oh, I did this.
Michael Bostick
What, should I take it down? Should I leave it up?
Lauren Everts
And it's like. And it kind of just never takes off, like, because they're, because they're too scared to kind of, like, step in a direction that they believe in. They're too worried about appeasing the crowds.
Hannah Poynter
Yeah.
Lauren Everts
And like, from a business perspective, if I was putting that hat on, like, I can't do a lot with that because it just kind of stays in the middle and never really, like, well.
Hannah Poynter
You have to like your reasons. Like, you have to, like, I know who I am. I. I feel like this is like segueing into a different conversation of, like, you need to know your internal values just as much as your external. And if you put all your emphasis on your external values, you're not going to make it. You're going to be, like, destroyed. Like, if. Because people are not going to like the way you look, they're going to Pick apart every little thing. Like, I put my body online a lot in terms of, like, tracking macros, workout programs. Like, it's a lot of body footage. And I am so fine if someone doesn't like the way I look in that realm. I think I lead internally. I also know the person that I am. I know how I show up to my family, my friends, to the person at the coffee shop. So if you are starting something online and you're worried about, you know, controversy, a little controversy or whatever, I agree with you. I think that you're. You gotta have a really thick skin and you gotta know who you are, and you got to be confident in it.
Lauren Everts
You know, thing is about putting anything online is you just have to know with 100% certainty that people are going to dislike you.
Hannah Poynter
Yeah. Which is hard sometimes. And I have. Yeah.
Lauren Everts
But for anyone, like, there's universally. For anyone, I think, like, there's always somebody that if you're putting yourself out there, doing something differently on your terms, speaking authentically in your voice, there's always going to be somebody that has something bad.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
It's like a muscle, though.
Lauren Everts
So, like, as soon as you.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
The more you work that muscle, it's like gratitude. The more you work it, the stronger it gets. You just get to a point where, like.
Lauren Everts
But I think, like, if you have that perspective and you know that with certainty, then it's like it kind of.
Michael Bostick
Takes all the fear.
Lauren Everts
Because I think a lot of creators.
Michael Bostick
Are new people starting online.
Lauren Everts
They get in and they're like, I hope everybody likes me. It's like, if you go in knowing that 100% is not going to happen.
Michael Bostick
Like, people will like you, but there's.
Lauren Everts
A lot that won't, then it kind of takes the. It's just like, it's part of the equation.
Hannah Poynter
Yeah.
Lauren Everts
I mean.
Hannah Poynter
Yeah.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
You've talked openly, like you said on your own podcast, about your journey with your boobs.
Hannah Poynter
Yeah.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
So, Michael, we're all gonna take our shirts off and show you our boobs. But you had quite the journey with your boobs.
Hannah Poynter
Yeah.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
So tell us about you got a boob job once and then you got it redone.
Hannah Poynter
Yes.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
Okay, so tell us about why you decided to do that.
Hannah Poynter
Yeah. So I got my first breast augmentation at 26, and I went to a Beverly Hills surgeon. I did the whole, like, it was very glitzy. It was very glamorous. I. I went in with not knowing enough information. I watched a lot of YouTube vlogs of girls who got breast augmentations that were 52535ft. And so they were like, 350cc is big. Like, 325cc is big. I'm 5 10. Like, I'm tall, but even when I walked in, you're like a model. No, thank you.
Unknown Host/Announcer
But you're tall.
Hannah Poynter
I am tall. I am a very tall girl. I have an athletic frame. So when I got my first surgery, I. After, it was like. I think I went a little bit too small. It was 325cc.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
So what would you have if you could go back your first time and tell yourself at 5:10 what to get, what would you have told yourself?
Hannah Poynter
It's what I did my second time, which is 590 cc.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
590.
Hannah Poynter
Which is.
Lauren Everts
What did you do?
Hannah Poynter
That's what I'm saying. Wow. That is why I.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
That's good advice, though, to people who are listening that are.
Lauren Everts
What did you do?
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
What do you think I did?
Michael Bostick
First time?
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
No. Second time?
Lauren Everts
400.
Hannah Poynter
Yeah. Oh, I also had nothing good. I had 30. I was a 34A. That's very, very. I'm impressed.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
What do you want, a trophy?
Hannah Poynter
Yeah.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
Oh, my God.
Michael Bostick
I feel like.
Lauren Everts
I feel like that was like a good.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
You can cop a feel tonight. Go ahead.
Hannah Poynter
But I. Yeah, I was. I honestly just announced my CC on my podcast because it's like my most asked question. But I've been nervous. Not like nervous, but just. It is like, very. It's not 590cc and in this day and age is, like, not common. There's a lot more of, like, a demure look, maybe more natural, and I wanted a fuller look also. I'm 5 10. I have a broader frame. Like, I just can't. And I. My second surgeon was amazing. Dr. Freed in Northern California. The best experience I've ever had. Like, I did Galaflex. He went in. Galaflex is an internal bra. So they sew basically, like they sew the implant on top of the muscle. I did over the muscle, which I recommend if you work out. That's another one where it's kind of back and forth. I'm really glad it over the muscle. There's no, like, pinching underneath the muscle when you work out. And then that's really helps keep it in place. Because my first surgery I had lateral separation and, like, horrible rippling.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
You had the lateral separation because you didn't have the internal bra or because you were lifting.
Hannah Poynter
I didn't have the internal bra and my surgeon gave me no guidance and like, don't do A lot of chest. I just lifted chest once a day as normal. And so that really started to separate them. And then what happened is, like, you can. You start to be able to see the bag through the skin. And so I'm in a bikini, and you can, like, see the implant bag on the outside, like, rippling through the skin.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
So you. What you ended up going with and what you like is. Is 590 for you, because you are 510. And you said that that fits with your body. Yes. And then you did a lateral.
Hannah Poynter
I did Galaflex. Galaflex, which is. And I. I actually went in through the nipple, too.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
Okay. And then you. You said something else. You did it over the muscle.
Hannah Poynter
Over the muscle.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
That's interesting. I've never heard that. I've heard more. Under the muscle.
Hannah Poynter
Yeah.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
Because you lift.
Hannah Poynter
I lift. And so. And I don't. I do not lift heavy chest anymore. And I just. I mean, I. I'm very careful with chest exercises. I do a lot of upper body. Like, I'm all about, like, toned arms. I've worked really hard to tone my arms, but I don't do a ton of chest movements because it does, like, just genetically, like, my original boobs sat more laterally. Like, everyone has a starting point. And so it's really important to listen to your surgeon and go to a credible surgeon that you get recommended from.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
Yes.
Hannah Poynter
I had a friend go to this next. The second surgery surgeon, Dr. Fried, had an incredible experience. I then went to him and had an incredible experience.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
So you know that it's an incredible experience. And I.590 to me sounds big, but looking at you, you look balanced.
Hannah Poynter
Sense. Thank you.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
Does that make sense? Like, it feels like that's why it's so important to not just get the CCs.
Lauren Everts
That's what would happen to somebody that's like, if they were 5, 6, and they had a B cup and they got 590 would be, like, ridiculous. Right.
Hannah Poynter
It'd probably be like me getting 700 or something. I don't know.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
It'd be like if I got 590. I mean, you saw how big my 4.
Lauren Everts
You had like, a big B cup before, right?
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
I had a. I had a big B cup before. So then you add.
Lauren Everts
I got you.
Hannah Poynter
So you were. Yeah, you were you a double D when I got.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
When I got 400. Yeah.
Lauren Everts
Those things were.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
They were huge. They were bigger than you. But I'm like.
Hannah Poynter
I'm sorry. Like, I wanted. I mean, I didn't have any boobs. I Wanted big boobs. Like, I don't.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
I don't. I think everyone's different. I just think that, like, to look at what someone else has gotten ccs and base it off that it's. You're right. You have to see what you look like before.
Unknown Host/Announcer
Like, how tall are you?
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
How broad are your shoulders? Like, there's so many different things that go into it. It's not one size fits all.
Hannah Poynter
Exactly.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
Okay.
Lauren Everts
I'm glad we got that.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
We got that out of. We got that out of our.
Lauren Everts
Carson.
Michael Bostick
You got that. You wrote that down.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
So. Okay, why don't you walk us through. Because I know you're a bowl of meat girl.
Unknown Host/Announcer
Yes.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
What you eat in a day. And walk us through the supplements and everything. And Michael, sorry, but I. This is really important, especially with Hannah on the podcast that we hear this.
Lauren Everts
I've not stopped anything. I keep up.
Hannah Poynter
No, this is so. In a normal.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
You can tell us later about your penis implant. I wish.
Hannah Poynter
In a normal 590.
Lauren Everts
Go for 700.
Hannah Poynter
There you go. In a normal. What I eat in a day. I love hard boiled eggs. So I do like. I'm gonna do like three to four hard boiled eggs in the morning. And I'll do with cottage cheese too on the side, a little hot sauce. Or I'll do Greek yogurt. I love Greek yogurt. I'll mix it with cottage cheese.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
How many hard boiled eggs?
Hannah Poynter
Three to four. Okay, three to four. And then Greek yogurt mixed with cottage cheese, with fruit. I like to put some flaxseed in there. And then I'll do a little granola. I like. I have a variety of granolas that I kind of will dabble with, but it's one of those. Or I'll do both of those depending on my day. Like one thing with tracking macros. If I have a crazy busy day, I am loading up on the protein in the morning to keep me satiated and actually help me hit my protein because I aim for about 140 to 160 a day. So usually I land like around 150, which is great. And then for lunch, I love tuna. Like, I do a lot of tuna salad. I'll do shredded rotisserie chicken. I'll do even like an egg white omelette. Sometimes I'll do that. I keep lunch really simple. Like I'm busy so I'm eating things. Like I'm not really going all out until dinner and then dinner. I love steak, ground beef, ground turkey. I'll do. I do A lot of, like, ground beef bowls. Now that I'm in a relationship, I cook for my boyfriend a lot. So it's easier to cook like. Like, more fun meals that are a little bit, like, higher volume. They're a little more variety.
Lauren Everts
Write that part down.
Hannah Poynter
I know. I love to cook. I'm sorry.
Lauren Everts
A couple notes.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
I do other things than cook.
Hannah Poynter
Yeah, you do. No, she. Yeah, you have.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
No, I'm not a fucking octopus.
Hannah Poynter
Yeah. Nope. That's what I tell my boyfriend sometimes. I'm like. I feel like I'm just doing all these things. I don't have kids yet. And I'm like, you know, boom, boom, boom. Oh. And that's why I'm waiting. I am waiting.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
You will put your castor oil.in your stomach and one will come over and hit it off your. Yeah, you'll. You have to message me when you have kids. Go on, go on.
Lauren Everts
You gotta be careful with this boyfriend because what's happening is you're setting the bar real high.
Hannah Poynter
I want to talk about that.
Lauren Everts
You got to maintain the bar now.
Hannah Poynter
No, we're going to talk about the bar.
There you go. Okay. But moving on to dinner. It's some type of protein. And then I'll do, like, sweet potato. I'm obsessed with potatoes, so I'll always do roasted sweet potato or roasted normal potatoes. Sometimes I'll do, like, cinnamon on them. Sometimes I'll do onion powder, salt and pepper. And there's a protein. I also love salmon. Like, I'm like, the least picky eater ever. I kind of will eat anything. We'll do like, a green tea. Like broccoli. Sometimes, like, he loves bread. So we'll do like, sourdough. Something in that realm. Or like, a big salad.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
Big.
Hannah Poynter
A lot of bowls and salads. And then I love a treat. So I have a treat, like, every night. Like, I have a sweet tooth. That's where I like. That's why I love tracking macros.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
What's the macro? Habits treat.
Hannah Poynter
I love. There's this hot chocolate mix I'm obsessed with. It's from the company powders. It's called snooze hot chocolate. The chocolate caramel is so good. And I'm gonna get very detail oriented because I make it perfect. So what? It's 20 calories, too. It has, like, L theanine, magnesium, chamomile. Helps you sleep.
Lauren Everts
Sleep thing?
Hannah Poynter
Yeah, it helps you kind of, like, wind down. And so I'll do one scoop of that and like, 8 to 10 ounces of boiling hot water. You gotta froth it for it to, like, fully emulsify.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
You always gotta froth it.
Hannah Poynter
Yes. And I'll do, like, two to three ounces of whole milk. I am a whole milk girl. I love milk, especially my lattes in the morning. That's another 8 grams of protein I'll get is just my whole milk latte. It's so good. It's so satiating.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
I can't even talk about milk anymore. I'm milked out. If I'm a cow, like, the udder has been completely drained. I can't talk about milk anymore. I love whole milk, too.
Hannah Poynter
Yes, it's so good. So I'll do 2 to 3 ounces of whole milk and then, like, a little whipped cream. If I'm feeling fancy, I do that. That's kind of what I do throughout the week.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
That sounds like a cocktail I can give my kids. It's like, go to sleep. Here's some hot chocolate.
Hannah Poynter
Exactly.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
And then it puts them to sleep. Like Benadryl.
Hannah Poynter
It's a hack. I'm sure I should try it on, like, one of my nieces because it's so good. So I do that. But I love getting ice cream. Like, I'm an ice cream girl. So usually one day of the week we'll go and get ice cream.
Unknown Host/Announcer
All right, let's talk about prenatals. All three of my pregnancies, I have taken the same prenatal, and that shouldn't surprise you. It's the number one best selling prenatal. But most importantly, it's the only leading prenatal backed by its its own human clinical trial. That's wild. Essential prenatal was shown to help deliver key nutrients, including folate, biotin, and vitamin D. That's why I take ritual. Moms taking ritual had lower overall cortisol levels during pregnancy than those taking a leading prenatal. To me, what I like about ritual is it takes the guesswork out of it. I don't need to worry about it. They select bioavailable key nutrients designed for optimal absorption. And they also have a methylated folate in essential prenatal, which is clinically proven to be well absorbed. We had Gary Brecker on the show. He talked about the importance of methylated folate. So this again, takes all the pain points out for you. I personally also take Rituals multivitamin. Now that I'm not pregnant. It's a little minty. It has good essence. Doesn't give you burps. This brand is very thoughtful when it comes to hitting all the points for women when it comes to pregnancy. Moms taking Ritual reported their prenatal to be easier to swallow, gentler on the stomach, and a better overall positive experience than those taking a leading prenatal. Don't settle for less than evidence based support our listeners get 25% off your first month at ritual.com skinny that's ritual.com skinny for 25% off your first month so many times during the day, I just want a drink that feels real. Something bubbly and cultured that tastes great and actually heals my gut. That's why I've been drinking so much. Synergy Kombucha Both at the studio and at home, our fridge is always stocked with Synergy. Here's the thing. This is real Kombucha. No shortcuts. It's always raw and never pasteurized. Synergy is made with real organic ingredients that you can see and taste and that's how you know they're working. You're getting scientifically backed benefits with every sip. Like gut health, digestive support, immunity and protein absorption, Synergy is the OG Kombucha and I've always loved their story, which goes back 30 years. Founder GT Dave first began brewing in his parents kitchen in 1995 after his mother's breast cancer diagnosis. Inspired by her recovery and the healing powers of Kombucha, he kept perfecting the recipe and eventually shared it with the world. That very same recipe is what you'll still find on shelves today. Crafted with authenticity and trusted for its real benefits, each bottle delivers 9 billion living probiotics across a diverse spectrum of beneficial bacteria you won't find in your average supplement. That diversity comes naturally from the way each batch is slowly fermented. These living cultures work hard to help your gut thrive, and when your gut microbiome is more diverse, the benefits multiply, all working to make your gut feel better. It's a daily reset for your body. Any time of day that you'll actually feel. And Senergy doesn't just improve your wellness, it also tastes great. There are over 20 bold flavors, so you'll definitely find one that you love. I've been into Senergy forever and I usually gravitate towards the tropical flavors, but this fall I've been reaching for more flavors that celebrate the season. Honeycrisp, apple, Cranberry, Blood orange. They really have a flavor for everyone. Each one is tangy, vibrant and naturally bubbly. There's a party in every bottle. There's a reason Kombucha is my go to and of course, there's a reason it's always synergy. They were the first bottled kombucha, paving the way for kombucha as we know it. And it's been the number one in the US and worldwide for over 30 years. So sip it, love your gut, and feel the power of kombucha when it's crafted the right way.

Do you guys hear that? That's fresh. New Skinny Confidential. Drop. Okay, this has been something that I have been working on for the last year. Introducing face towels. Your skincare routine has been reimagined once again. There is no more using butthole towels on your face. There is no more using the towel that your boyfriend has used on his balls. You are going to be using the cleanest face towel on your face with no formaldehyde, no inks, no fragrances, no dyes, no bpa.
Hannah Poynter
Okay.
Unknown Host/Announcer
Our towels are so thoughtfully designed. They're vegan, they're cruelty free, because your skin deserves the best. I, a long time ago, wrote a blog post about how a lot of people are washing their face and then they're drying their face with the same towels that they're using on their body, or they're using a towel that maybe has a bunch of, I don't know, detergent in it. So I wanted to create something that was fresh to remove your makeup, to remove your oil without irritation. I wanted it to be buttery soft.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
I wanted it to be a hundred.
Unknown Host/Announcer
Percent sustainable bamboo, silky soft. You never have to worry about buildup with these towels. It's just like a breath of fresh air for your face. So how I use them is two ways. The first way is I will cleanse my skin with an oil cleanser and then I'll exfoliate it and I'll do this in the shower or in my sink. And then if I get out of the shower or I'm done with my sink, I'll take my towel and I'll pat it across my face and my neck to dry my skin off. My skin feels so much cleaner doing it with a facial towel than using some random towel that who knows where it's been? So if you want to support a healthy skin barrier and you want something really sensitive, especially if you have acne or you have hyperpigmentation, this has a really gentle texture. It's absolutely beautiful. I'm such a fan. I've been using them for a long time. I know you guys have maybe seen seen them in my Instagram stories. Each box includes 50 disposable face towels. And like I said, they're made from 100% sustainable bamboo. This is the travel size. It's like a little box that you can throw in your makeup bag. And then we also have the one that can sit on your vanity. It's a box that you want out. It's so cute. It's baby pink. And I should tell you, the towels are shaped like a doily, so that's fun, too. Go to shopskinnyconfidential.com to grab your face towels today.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
If you drink a cocktail. What is it?
Hannah Poynter
I don't drink alcohol.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
I knew you were going to say that.
Hannah Poynter
Yeah.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
So is that a choice because you don't like alcohol or because of something else?
Hannah Poynter
It's a choice I made because it just. I never loved it. And when I would drink, I just didn't feel like I was the best version of myself. I didn't like the way I felt the next morning. I felt puffy. I also, like, always would throw up the next morning. Sorry to get like, like, graphic, but.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
I just didn't like it.
Hannah Poynter
My body didn't like it. A lot of alcoholism on my dad's side of the family. 1. One side of my family is, like, very different than the other, so I think I just saw that as a child. Also, my parents don't drink, and they've never made it a villain in my house. It just was something they never participated in. Especially my dad. He just was always like, it tastes gross. Like, I don't want to drink it. And so as a kid, I was like, oh, why would I want to drink something that tastes gross? And then when I did kind of dabble with alcohol in college and after college, I just, like, didn't love it. And so I made a decision. I'm like, I'm just not gonna drink.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
Also, you're so regimented. Is that how you say the word yeah. In your routine? That I think that that would maybe disrupt that.
Lauren Everts
It's really not good for you.
Hannah Poynter
It's horrible for you.
Michael Bostick
The younger generations don't drink as much.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
Okay, well, I, like, I'm I'm like, that's my cocktail. Usually once a week I like to sit down with my margarita, maybe some chips and salsa.
Hannah Poynter
Yeah. Which is. And I'm not anti. Like, I think that's great.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
And like, so you have to do it once.
Lauren Everts
No, no, it's not great. It's terrible for you.
Hannah Poynter
But it's like if you have a healthy relationship with it and that's your thing. Great. Like tons of clients in our program have a glass of wine here and they're like, I think there's nothing wrong with that. Just personally for me, it just doesn't. It's not something I like need. I love my morning coffee. I love having a treat at night. Like there's other things I want to spend the calories in. That's another thing. It's not worth the calories to me.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
I totally, I totally understand.
Hannah Poynter
Yeah.
Michael Bostick
No you don't.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
Yeah, I did. I went alcohol free three times for 10 months.
Lauren Everts
Oh. For the babies.
Hannah Poynter
Yeah.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
What is your opinion on peptides?
Hannah Poynter
Oh, I'm obsessed. I'm on them right now.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
Which ones?
Hannah Poynter
So I just wrapped up a cycle of CJC 1295 plus Evarelin, which is the growth hormone one which helps stimulate muscle growth, helps with fat loss, body recomposition, sleep. And then I did BPC157. I did that combo together for three months. I'm stopping CJC periodically. Now I'm on a glow blend which I feel like you are going to be really interested in this because it's for like your collagen, your skin health. It's TB500, BPC157 and then copper.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
So DM me all these different.
Hannah Poynter
I'll damn you all of them. But I'm on the glow blend right now. And peptides. Like I've noticed a big difference. I feel like someone looking at me might notice a difference, but obviously everyone hyper fixates on themselves. And when you're in that fine tuning phase, little changes like are exciting.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
Yeah.
Hannah Poynter
So I've noticed a lot more vascularity. Like when I'm lifting, I have like more of a pump. I do feel like I put on a little bit more muscle, which is exciting for me. I'm 5 10. It's very hard for me to build muscle. Like for me to build arm muscle. Like my arm is so long. I know it sounds kind of weird, but it's harder for me to build muscle than a shorter person.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
That makes sense. I understand that.
Hannah Poynter
Yeah. Sometimes I get like, I don't know, I'm like, that is how that is my experience. I have to put in the work in the gym to build a little muscle periodically over a long period of time and eat a ton of protein.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
How has mouth taping changed your life? And I feel like I can ask you this because I've seen you do it night after night after night.
Hannah Poynter
Okay. I think it's helped my jawline, which I. I'm like, I really do. Like, I think it's on my jawline. My sleep is so much better. I'm also like a dental height. Like, I'm very into like oral health. And I. I know it's bad to mouth breathe. It's bad for like, like your breath.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
I just makes your breath smell. To mouth breathe.
Hannah Poynter
Yeah.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
Put the tape on.
Hannah Poynter
I also just feel like when I. I'm very. I'm a creature of habit and when I do a routine, my body responds well. So when I put that mouth tape on, I take my. Lemme sleep, brush my teeth, put my mouth tape on, castor oil, and I'm like, okay, I'm ready to go to bed.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
Like, my body's your body.
Hannah Poynter
Yeah. And I sleep really good. I. I love it. And it's like, it's funny because my boyfriend, like, I'm trying to get him to mouth tape and he like, is like, I'm suffocating. I'm like, man up.
Lauren Everts
Up.
Hannah Poynter
Like, man up.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
Seriously.
Hannah Poynter
Like, you can do it.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
When I have a cold, I do it. And what's so weird time to do it? Because it's horrible for 10 minutes. Like you want. You're dying.
Hannah Poynter
Yeah.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
But when you get through the 10 minutes, your sinuses are cleared.
Hannah Poynter
Yeah.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
It's so weird.
Hannah Poynter
It's amazing and it's interesting.
Lauren Everts
Like, we have kids, obviously little kids, and like, you will watch them and if you like, and you'll see, like, obviously this happens with pacifier stuff. But naturally the kids want to breathe out of their nose. And when you can let. You can like kind of help them get there. And once they start doing it, their sleep is.
Hannah Poynter
Do you mouth tape your kids?
Lauren Everts
We don't mouth tape our kids. That'd be a little extreme.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
I asked, but we do. Asked my daughter, I said, can you do the little kids?
Lauren Everts
If you want, but no, but they.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
Make one for kids.
Lauren Everts
But you can just go in and like push their. Like, like, like sometimes they'll go, and I'll see my son right now because he's four months, and if it's malice and I'll go like this and it'll he'll like, fit for a second, but.
Michael Bostick
Then all of a sudden he'll get.
Lauren Everts
Into, like a deep nasal sleep.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
I've been closing my kids mouth, like, since they were born. Even when they were newborns, I'm always closing their mouth. It's really, really good to promote the nasal breathing.
Lauren Everts
Think about it from like a. Just a jaw structure perspective. And why people's jawlines will improve is you're just like walking around with your mouth hanging open nine hours a day. Like you're going to get a slack jaw. Look.
Hannah Poynter
Well, gravity is real. You should have died.
Lauren Everts
I don't have. I have a reverse issue where I have to figure it out that causes other things where I clench at night. So, like, mine's the exact.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
It's a centimeter open.
Lauren Everts
No, no, no. I. I literally talked to Dr. Jerry.
Hannah Poynter
Has helped my clenching. Yeah.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
I think you need to try them out.
Lauren Everts
Yeah, I'm like, in there deep, like.
Hannah Poynter
Yeah.
Lauren Everts
But that causes another form of sleep apnea, which I gotta.
Hannah Poynter
Full massage.
Lauren Everts
No, I need to do that. And I get bad headaches, so I need. If they're like saying I gotta like. Yeah, I got all sorts of things.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
So you love mouth taping?
Hannah Poynter
Love it.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
Okay. I'm obsessed with it too. And it's fun to talk to someone that's seen the jawline benefits because it's such a weird one, but it makes your masseter muscles.
Lauren Everts
But if you would have looked at us previous to mouth tape, it would have been like. She would have been like, hanging open and I would have been like, clenched shut. So we need, like, I need to be like, a little bit less clenched. She needs to be a little tighter.
Hannah Poynter
Yeah. You need to find somewhere in the middle.
Lauren Everts
Yeah.
Hannah Poynter
With the masseters really quick. One thing about, like, TMJ is I don't know if you've heard this, but the masseter Botox, that you get it in, like, you get it right here, it releases it. That can also cause jowling. So I got. I got masseter Botox and I didn't like. This was like, probably. This is like a year and a half ago. And I didn't like the way, like, it slimmed my face too much.
Unknown Host/Announcer
Huh.
Hannah Poynter
So I think that's something to be careful of if you have tmj. Like, a lot of injectors are, you know, prone to, like. Yeah, like, get the master Botox. It does help the tmj, but you have to be careful of the way your face shape is.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
You know what I just got yesterday? I feel Like I can tell you that trap talks.
Hannah Poynter
Oh, I bet that is, that's something I'm really interested in.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
I noticed that I was putting a lot of I like hunch right now in my traps.
Hannah Poynter
Traps.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
And I want to activate my back.
Hannah Poynter
Yeah.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
Like with weights.
Hannah Poynter
Yeah.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
So my trainer and I talked and she was like, let's try trap talks to relax. And I got it in my traps. It was really quick. She went. And then automatically you can feel your traps just relax out of your ears. And it's almost like a weight is out of the shoulder.
Hannah Poynter
Okay.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
It's really, listen, everyone's gotta do them. But I liked how it felt. I'm not a huge botox person. And all over the face. I like it in between my lines on my face and then my forehead. But the trap talks was interesting to me and I like how it looks.
Hannah Poynter
Yeah, no, I've seen that, I've seen a lot of that on Instagram. A lot of girls who lift do it because it helps transfer the energy like you said, to your back. I feel like for body recomp, having big traps for girls is not something that like you're trying to get that muscle will like overtake.
Unknown Host/Announcer
Yes.
Hannah Poynter
A lot of mind to muscle connection.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
I think if you lift weights, it's worth looking into. So I, I, I liked it. If you were to leave our audience with a bunch of tips and tricks as a coach that you think will really help with wellness and weight loss and metabolism support. Go off. Give us all the tips.
Hannah Poynter
Yeah. I think slowly increasing your protein intake is key. Not only is that going to boost your metabolism, protein is like the hardest macronutrient to break down. So your body burns the most calories digesting protein. So when you're eating protein, you're boosting your metabolism.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
You're also growing your hair with the aminos.
Hannah Poynter
Yes, hair, skin, nails, all of that stuff. And then I would say if with food, that's like my takeaway is eat more protein. But if you're only eating 50 grams a day, don't jump to 150. Like, don't watch my. What I eat a day. 150. Like I would go to 80 and then I would let your body level slowly go up so you don't get burnt out or have that like indigestion and bloating issues that protein can sometimes cause.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
What's your favorite protein powder?
Hannah Poynter
Active stacks? Chocolate. It's a beef collagen protein. It's three ingredients. It's dairy free, gluten free. It's so Good. The chocolate's the best. Get the chocolate I have. Like that was the first affiliate I ever had. Even like starting macrohobits. Like it is the best chocolate protein. That's, that's the one I would recommend anyone. And it's also dairy free, gluten free, so majority of people can have it. I like to just make a protein shake, ice cream milk blended up and it actually has like a really good chocolate milk taste. It doesn't have like a gritty, super whey heavy protein. It's beef collagen. So it's so good for like your hair, skin and nails, all of that stuff. It's low calorie, high protein. That's my go to protein powder. So eat more protein. And then I would move your body in a way that you look forward to. Like if you are waking up every day and you're dreading your workout, change it.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
Agreed.
Hannah Poynter
Like, I, I wake up in the morning. People like, how do you wake up so early? I'm like, my morning is my favorite part of my day. Like it is quiet part of the day. I romanticize it. I have a very structured morning routine. My morning is like my mind, body and spirit. Like I'm getting right in all areas.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
What's the morning routine?
Hannah Poynter
So I wake up between 4:30 and 5:30. I know I'm an early riser. I know I, I love it though. Like I love the morning. I go to bed early so I'm getting like a good amount of sleep. And then the first thing I do is I pray. I get on my knees, I say a prayer. That's something that like has really changed my life is like fostering my relationship with God. And really like I was, I grew up in a religious home. I actually grew up Mormon, but I'm not active Mormon anymore. And I think developing a relationship with God outside of religion has truly changed my life. So I like to pray in the morning and I turn on worship music for 15 minutes and I have a worship music playlist that's really, really good. And it just like gets my mind right. It's before I listen to podcasts or listen to music. Like I just feel like that 20 minutes of the day is really important. And then I like, I kind of like take my castor oil patch off. I have my workout clothes laid out. Everything's laid out the night before. So I wake up, I know exactly what I'm wearing. My pre workout is right there. I have my water filled. Everything I need is on the table. So I like Your morning routine starts at night. If you wake up in the morning, you have no idea what you're gonna wear. You're not gonna get out of bed. When I get out of bed, I'm like, that's there. That's there. I know what I'm gonna do. I know the workout I'm doing. I know what I'm lifting. Very structured in that way. And I ice roll on the way to the gym. So I put on, like, sunscreen. I'll gouache sometimes, but usually I'll gouache before I shower. Ice roll the way to the gym, get to the gym, do my workout. I have coffee after. Electrolytes, the protein, all that stuff.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
So you have your structure.
Hannah Poynter
Yeah.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
Okay, keep going with what you were saying with. With the audience. You're giving us all the tips to be our best self.
Hannah Poynter
Move your body in a way that you like. Like, if you are dreading your workout, change it. I always recommend strength training, but if you're going in the gym and you're killing yourself and you're sore the next day, change the way you work out. I used to be so sore after I lifted, and I was like, oh, I'm doing a great job, but I was puffy. I was. I had a lot of inflammation. I've honestly, like, lost more inflammation the last year. It might seem like I've lost weight, but it really is just, like, inflammation and water retention. And then I would say doing some type of outdoor walk, whether it's 15 minutes to 30 minutes, is really beneficial for the mental health. And then.
I would say 100 ounces of water.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
We've got the tips here. I'm gonna do the castor oil belly button. Michael, I'm gonna be dropping that in your.
Hannah Poynter
Yeah, you should do it. Clean the linton, see how you feel.
Lauren Everts
I got a deep belly button.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
Oh, this belly button, whenever he puts a shirt on, has, like, lint that's like a mile long.
Lauren Everts
Some people have deeper belly buttons, Lauren.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
Okay.
Hannah Poynter
You really should try it.
Lauren Everts
I'm going to try. I'm going to.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
Would recommend that everyone who's listening go and follow you, because I feel like your content is, like, what. It's very, like, the same vibe of the Skinny Confidential. Like, it's very, like, you're so disciplined, and you make it happen, and you've really, to me, like, created your own future, and I admire that.
Hannah Poynter
Thank you.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
Where can everyone find you? Where can they book a program with you? Where can they count their macros with you?
Unknown Host/Announcer
Tell us.
Hannah Poynter
So my Instagram handle is at macro underscore habits. And then my podcast I just launched is Macrabbits podcast. It's on YouTube, you can find on any anywhere you listen. And then if you're wanting a workout program, I'm on Playbook. And all this is linked to my Instagram. So Curves and Core just launched and it's a four week dumbbell program. There's dumbbells, bands and a bench. So it's easy to do when you're traveling. Like November is a busy month. So I highly recommend doing the Curves and Core program. It's a lot of glutes in this one. I have programs that are more upper body focused. This one's a lot of glutes, so I would do that. And then you can also. All my coaching is on macrohabits.com I have a 12 week one on one program we're booking for November, December, January. And then I have custom independent macro plans. So if you're someone that has experience in tracking macros and you just need a reverse dieting plan or you need a new macro split, or you want my opinion, you can go fill out the start form on my website. That's kind of like step number one. And then I'm also on TikTok Hannah Pointer, but I would say I spend most of my time on Instagram.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
Thank you so much for coming on the show.
Hannah Poynter
Thank you so much for having me.
Lauryn Evarts Bosstick
