About this podcast
Sweat & Laughter is hosted by two incredible friends, Mindy and Cheryl. These dynamic women crossed paths in their forties and formed an unbreakable bond that's the foundation of their show.
Mindy, a registered dietitian, and Cheryl, a personal trainer, join forces on this podcast to explore the incredible potential that fitness and nutrition offer during midlife. This podcast is where midlife meets real life. We talk about all things nutrition, fitness, aging gracefully, and our adventures together.
Thanks for being here,
