They are the Co-Founders of Living Well with Mel and Mel, a wellness brand focused on bio-individuality and managing inflammation.
Melanie and Melissa talk about their unique holistic wellness journeys, and how Melanie’s battle with disordered eating and Melissa’s Lupus diagnosis brought them together to find healing and restoration for their bodies. They also share the dangers of the diet industry, what it’s like to live with chronic pain, and their mission for their wellness community.
Why don’t women talk more about their wellness journeys? How has Dave Coulier been impacted by holistic health? What went wrong when Christy’s husband proposed? Join us to find out!

I think unfortunately it's a slippery slope, something works for one person and maybe (JUST maybe) they think they're doing a good thing by spreading the word about it.. It ends up harmony their followers mentally or physically. That's a best case scenario. There's so much genuinely good information out there but we live in an age where everything feels like an attack because the socioeconomic divide is VAST. it's hard to tell someone to focus on doing yoga and exercising if their home life isn't safe or they can't make ends meet. The cultures specifically surrounding fasting and cleansing, some cultures openly encouraging purging... It's six degrees of fd up.

I think Drew Barrymore will be a great guest for your podcast. She has a great outlook on how a stage mom affects the psyche of the child and can further elaborate on why guidelines are important.

[@oooh19]

Yea agreed! That’d be awesome

[@trinaq]

Yes, this is a topic that deserves to be discussed. It's heartbreaking that Jennette McCurdy suffered from an eating disorder, while her character Sam was obsessed with food.

[@christycarlsonromano]

It's a heartbreaking reality. Thanks for joining me ❤

[@dOlli3cOutur3]

Wow that’s twisted. I didn’t know she had to play a foodie in her character while being starved

[@RhaegarTargaryen1st]

"Does Hollywood glamorize eating disorders?" Is water wet?

[@aliciadelamater7471]

Poverty will absolutely show you the reality of grocery prices. I budget every penny and still struggle. We have nothing but chain stores. No farmers markets. No choices besides fast food and walmart. I hate the "priority spending" answer when it comes to healthy eating. It's not that easy and its degrading to assume we're all just buying too many lattes.

[@strawberrydialectics]

i can relate. i lived with 2 small local grocery stores, with very small produce sections. no farmers market, and miles away from the nearest walmart

[@pink_glamour]

Agree 100% especially with your last sentance.

[@ojd88]

It’s so true. By the time you pay utilities, loans, mortgage or rent, etc., spending $200+ on fresh fruit/veggies/meat is just crazy - and that’s just for one week with two people.

[@Wired4Life2]

Anyone frustrated by how the entertainment industry lets actors risk getting into eating disorders alongside preparing for some extreme roles, whereas stunt coordinators and their teams who stay fit and agile still don’t have an Oscar category, for fear that such might incentivize deadlier stunts?

[@mackenzie530]

I was diagnosed as a type 1 diabetic at 28 years old. Ive had to learn how to count carbs and inject insulin multiple times a day. I went to an eye doctor appointment and was "if you lose some weight, you could probably come off the insulin". Thats not how type 1 diabetes works. Ill never stop needing insulin. Because im overweight I get a lot of comments about my weight from doctors and its absolutely awful.

[@messicawessica9629]

The eye doctor was telling you that?!? That's so messed up!

[@BrotherlyLovePod]

So excited for this episode 🙌

[@rachaelpracht]

When I hear “holistic” anything I start to see red flags, but I kept listening and I agree with everything the Mels said and I love this! ❤

[@amesy123]

Unfortunately the term has become associated with western pseudo science when holistic really does NOT mean what people in the US think :/

[@NedsPod]

So glad you're shedding light on this ❤

A lot of people have eating problems but we can't face with a lot of doubts from others because our abilities are different

[@DullRio]

There is no empirical evidence supporting the claim that water weakens the digestive acids. In fact, the Mayo Clinic says "There's no concern that water thins down or weakens down (dilute) the digestive juices or interfere with digestion. In fact, drinking water during or after a meal helps how your body breaks down and processes food (digestion)."

[@orland0110]

Thank you so much for sharing this topic. You are so great Christy! ❤

I love this conversation!! 💜

[@beccy46]

While this was an interesting episode, I don't think it really ever addressed whether or not Hollywood glamorizes eating disorders. You guys mostly just spoke about your own personal experiences and that of husband's or parents with food and chronic pain. Would love to actually hear the take on Hollywood and eating disorders and whether or not it's just media making it seem like it's being glamorized or whether actual Hollywood execs that you have known/work with encourage/glamorize such behaviors.

I've watched _Zoey 101_ . I was so gobsmacked when Zoey, Nicole, and Lola were deathly afraid of the calories in a slice of chocolate cake even though they were MUCH too skinny to be concerned about calories. In another scene, they were deathly afraid of the calories in a bagel. Then there was also the time when Zoey was shunning the macaroni and cheese because it was "too carby". I have a 30-inch waist. I have a Body Mass Index between 18 and 19. When I have difficulty finding pants and belts that fit, I feel like I'm being skinny-shamed by the clothing manufacturers. I guess that the message is that real men eat at The Cheesecake Factory and Kentucky Fried Cholesterol. Oh, and I don't give a hoot about calories or carbs. Yes, I do eat a healthier diet than anyone I know, but I practice intuitive eating. I would NEVER EVER starve myself or go to bed hungry. If counting calories were as essential as diet culture claimed, I'd be one of the patients on _My 600 Pound Life_ instead of the one getting skinny-shamed by clothing manufacturers who think I should love the oxidation products from Popeyes.

Great talk, what you said about hospitals in Italy being socialist...I think what you meant was socialized, as in socialized healthcare, as it is in most European countries to various degrees, it´s not perfect, but it´s universal, there are also private hospitals in Italy, by the way

[@SparkleP8nter]

Yes, definitely! On Scream Queens when they eat nothing but cotton balls comes to mind 😪🥺

[@jasonhsu4711]

I was thinking, "Come on, Chanel, you're skinny enough! Change your personality instead!"

[@oooh19]

Ewww why would you want to eat cotton balls? 🤢

[@jasonhsu4711]

@@oooh19 The idea was to fill the stomach to stave off hunger. I prefer to stave off hunger by eating real food instead. Yes, that includes dietary fiber. :)

Is it my computer or is some of the audio going in an out ?

Interesting Christy 😊

[@ashleydavies1990]

So, legitimate question. I believe in eating well. Eating in a wholesome way. No debate there. I don’t have time to be in the kitchen for 3 meals a day. Let’s be realistic….no woman does…and I don’t know many men who are jumping into the kitchen to help. Kudos to the men who are. But, can we not talk about a more realistic way to feed ourselves in wholesome manner? What are some ways to adjust habits when eating out?

I still have to avoid eating junk food.
