The Body Nerd Show is officially back!
And today’s episode is a little different.
Instead of talking about how to move better, we’re talking about grief.
Because grief isn’t just losing someone you love – it’s forced change of any kind. The loss of a job, a friendship, a relationship, or even just life not turning out the way you expected.
And for the last year, I’ve been deep in it.
Losing my dad in August completely changed my life.
So in today’s episode, I’m sharing where I’ve been, what’s next for the show, and how we can navigate grief (of all kinds) together.
Thanks for being here. It means more than you know. 💖

Hi Alex.
I sure could relate to what you said about grief. Coming across a loved
one’s note, a picture, a favorite expression, etc. My dad has been gone since 2007 and there are still things that make me cry- the miss continues but it is also a sign of that love that doesn’t die. Looking forward to reuniting in Heaven some day.🙏🏻❤️
