I appreciate you guys for always hearing me out and staying so open so we can talk about things honestly ❤️🔥 I know I said I think the fitness space has been 📉 recently but I fully believe we're gonna turn it around 🙏 Love ya, stay smiling! 😆
You guys are too cute and funny together! 🥰 Would you believe, I was just wondering how to pronounce your last name YESTERDAY, lol! Love the advice on finding your significant other!
On the bright side, I've noticed that more and more, viewers are becoming more aware and tired of bad fitness content! As always thanks for being such a north star amidst all of it!
Hey Natacha, love your content and science backed approach to everything! I was wondering if you've heard of Plenity? It's new on the market and they claim their results are backed by science but who better to ask than you?! Lots of love
After you said you had an idea on the next body “trend” but weren’t going to say it… I found myself so relieved. Like part of me was curious but then a bigger part of me was just happy I didn’t have to have that in the back of my mind, even if I know it’s dumb. So thanks Natacha!
I watched another youtuber talking about this subject and she said it is basically going back to fitness kinda like the fitness craze from the 80s. I think trends need to die.
Natachas channel is the only fitness channel where I feel completely safe. Safe from beauty standards, safe from sexism and judgement and the normalisation of substance abuse. There is no extrem to reach, only balance to maintain and I really appreciate that. Both you and Mario have this positive energy and confidence while being honest and vulnerable in front of us. It's really nice and it's one of the few channels where being a woman is well incorporated into the content, may it be regarding relationships, sexuality or fitness and the menstrual cycle. As someone with P.E. class trauma, this content made fitness a fun and positive thing for me and something I can and should enjoy.
oh i relate to the P.E trauma. I'm glad to have found a source of information that i feel i can trust, both in the sense that i believe she knows her shit and in the sense of feeling safe from judgement and ill intentions.
I am getting my doctorate right now and can't agree more that people are "using" science, AKA putting it in their videos but not understanding what makes a good study/what is bias/etc. They just get something that substantiates their own claim and pop it in the video and call it evidence. THANK YOU FOR TALKING ABOUT THIS!!!!! Love your videos Natacha, every single one.
Your "first time" doesn't have to be painful. For a lot of women it can be painful because they aren't aroused enough (and because of that they are maybe not wet enough, which can hurt) or because the penetration is too rough. I think it's important to mention this because we really need to start listening to our bodies, not only with sports but also with sex. So people: please, listen to your body. Communicate with your partner (you both need to do this!). And also: don't skip foreplay (and leg day, duh).
This this this. Thank you so much for this comment because I feel like this information is not well-known. Also, thank you, Natacha, for being open and discussing your first sexual experience.
I think it depends a lot. When I had my first time I was extremely wet cuz my boyfriend took a lot of time on foreplay and he let me manage the penetration by letting me on top and go at my own pace. I went very slowly and yet it still hurt like fuck. Like a knife when it breached.
Yes but your anatomy plays a huge role if it is painfull or not. You could be very aroused and it can still hurt because your hymen is not flexible . Some people have it flexible while some are not. Thats just genetics. I advise not to feel bad if it hurts because there was something wrong or lacking in your experience or dont feel bad if it was not painfull at all because again something is lacking in your anatomy. Every experience is different..
Where I live, a Brazilian is considered “all the way”, front and back 😅 A bikini wax is just the sides (I like the questions asked AND the answers of course 🥳)
@@CaiticatASMR Yep! I'm in the UK and I've only ever seen a Brazilian as that one where they leave a sort of "landing strip" in the middle, and Hollywood is everything.
Anything body types, especially as a young female, are important to discuss. There’s such an emphasis on your outer appearance and body shape determining your value in society (unfortunately). So glad you’re touching on this as I know it’s a big insecurity of mine!!
hey Logan ❤️🔥 I really agree, I'm honestly thinking about ways to subtly undermine all the trends and pressure in all of my content and hopefully make them feel pointless but it's gonna take a lot of force. I know I've judged myself in that way through pretty much all of my teenage years and that I had to realise all the joy in movement to break free of it, and you're definitely not alone! All my love!
I'd also like to add this. Your/Our bodies change as time passes and we have different experiences, esp as women. I say this as a 30+ that has 3 kids. I used to be super sporty and into all sorts of activities. Now, 20 yrs later, my workouts and time look quite different. We really need to praise our bodies for performance, in any form. I have to remind myself that it's pretty awesome my body grew 3 babies! It may not be where I want it to, but I am thankful for my body nurturing my children and I can still keep up with them and play whatever they are playing!
@@jglassStrengthDignity it's actually pretty magical that your body grew 3 babies!! it did the most amazing things for you and for your beautiful family and I couldn't agree with you more. all that matters to me is that your workouts are working for you - keeping you happy, relieving some stress, helping with your health and it sounds pretty perfect that you've evolved them to whatever feels right now ❤️🔥 please give your little ones a hug from me, sounds like they've got an amazing mumma 🥰
@@jglassStrengthDignity thank you for taking time to give an input on this from your perspective. A huge congratulations to you for having 3 kids (I admire my mom for how hard a job it is). To have a body that can bear children is such a privilege and in an ideal world, I’d love for more people to recognize the amazement that is the human body rather than how flat a tummy is. Your comment really brightened up my day🥰
Thanks everyone! It just goes to say our goals change as we grow/mature. It always made me sad to see a parent sitting on their phone while the kids play without them. I remember one time there was little kid trying to fly a kite and the dad just wasn't healthy enough to run with him and play. I don't want to miss out on those precious moments. 🙂
@@natachaoceane HAHAHA I take it back I just meant u…. Jk THANK YOU I love you guys💗💗💗 u also helped me through the worst of my ED with a super old video about metabolism by getting me into lifting a few years ago :) I’m still struggling but you’ve helped a LOT
when you said the thing about it hurting the first TWENTY times that was something no one had told me before. That's sorta a relief to know that it isn't just me! also love these videos
I was shocked to hear that because I never experienced any pain, quite the opposite in fact! Unless the guy was “oversized” and didn’t know what he was doing. Sorry to hear it wasn’t magical, hopefully it will get there :)
Hymen stretching: ua-cam.com/video/nUjq60Gskkw/v-deo.html "Tenting" (how to know when our bodies are aroused): ua-cam.com/video/WmZnNWtQ2DE/v-deo.html First time(s) could be painful for lots of reasons but at a minimum, I would hope that new people are aware that you can choose to stretch your hymen slowly and not tear it (which can take weeks, I'm not saying just do this right before.) And also know to consider whether you're attempting insertion before your body is fully aroused (especially if you are nervous.) I'm no sexologist (though the doctor in the videos above is) and I'm not going to promise that would guarantee a pain-free experience, but hopefully this is helpful.
Yassss! My two favorites are back at it again. Natacha I can’t tell you how many times I’ve watched and rewatched…and rewatched…👀 and rewatched your videos. 🙈 My boyfriend is even a fan now because he knows how much I’ve learned from you as well as how happy your videos make me. So happy to see you and Mario on the screen again and answering all of our curious questions. Miss you and lots of love my friend. Have a wonderful week!💛💛🫶🏽🫶🏽
hey Aleah!! Thank you so much for being so supportive, it means the world to me that my videos bring you happiness and that you've learnt from them too!! Miss you too and lots of love always!! Have a beautiful week ahead as well ❤️❤️❤️
That feeling of completely unexpected bliss when you open the UA-cam app and Natacha’s uploaded a new video and better yet, it’s Natacha and Mario together and that’s *just* the perfect side to my dessert cereal 😌
As a 33 year old who’s gone through some pretty toxic body trends. I wish I had the message you sent in that part. It really doesn’t matter, I wish I’d focused on what made me FEEL good. Gosh how my life would have been so much different. I hope the younger girls watching you and who admire you listen to that! Thank you ❤️
I love how open and honest you are. You don’t avoid the “tough” questions and are so respectful with your answers, and of each other. You are truly an inspiration Natacha. My all time favourite UA-camr 💜
Natacha is basically like my big sister at this point. Thank you Natacha for being such a good role model for me and so many others and I also want to thank both you and Mario for showing me what love is supposed to be. All my love!!
You’re such a body positive figure. You slowly but surely changed my mindset and approach towards food and exercise. And my life has never been as good as it is rn! Keep coming in hot with your videos because they truly make the difference 🙏🏻♥️🥰💕🤟🏻
I’ve never appreciated and loved a person’s UA-cam channel so much lmao. I watch these videos multiple times like they’re my favorite shows on the tv. Hope we get more videos like this because it’s nice to see what Natacha is thinking sometimes!!!❤️
Nicole 🥺 I really don't know how I got lucky enough to deserve you and everyone. It's so nice just hanging out with you guys and seeing you out and about whenever I can ❤️🔥 Appreciate you always, hope you're in a gooood place and feeling positive about everything that's coming for you!!
You two.. omg so sweet, so genuine, so pure.. I will never get tired of repeating this! I had a smile on my face all the time, as always. My heart smiles watching you. Your energy is contagious just because it's pure and honest! Thank you!
My jaw dropped at the audacity of that company using footage of you saying that it didn't work but muted your voice. :O I'm with you about not taking hallucinogens. Whenever someone suggests that I try them, I say "I've written several novels! I don't need those." And thank you for not predicting the next body shape trend - in all honesty it can change from month to month depending on which celeb is being promoted more. No point in stressing over that. I also love how you talked about meeting someone good - my case for dating apps has always been that you increase your chances of meeting a like-minded person in your area, but in reality there is alot of pressure to impress and like you say, you're not meeting them organically so it can be awkward. I will have to join a gym to meet some like-minded people, or even a hiking group.
I was over here chanting “CORGI, CORGI” when the dog question came up and audibly cheered when you followed dachshund up with corgi. Didn’t think you could get more brownie points in my book than you already have but damn girl you did 🥰
Best study break! ;-p However, I'm learning toxicology now so it's relevant for those toxic comments and trends lol You're one of a kind Natacha, always providing good content! xx
Hey my friend!! Ahhh toxicology that's incredible!! I've been getting so interested in venomous jellyfish lately (I got stung abroad before but then I started looking up the box jellyfish and.... I got obsessed) but I feel like I could ask you questions all day!! Thank you so much for watching and have an incredible day!! xxxx
You both are so refreshingly authentic. Your commentary on the fitness industry struck a chord, especially around the commentary-heavy channels. Y’all keep doing you ✌🏻❤️
I am so happy that HEALTH and WELLNESS are starting to become bigger trends (if we can call it trends, I just want it to be a staying trend :p). So that's all I'll be saying about body trends: a healthy and well rested one 💛
Thank you for making our life better and providing great content 🔥 Natacha and Mario your humour is impeccable 🤣 Love both of yall Always Stay Happy and Strong ♥️
I've been neglecting my health and fitness lately. Tomorrow I'm going on a skiing trip for the first time, and I'm super excited! I hope it will help jump start some healthy habits
Do you think you can do an updated video on gut health? I watched your video from a few years ago but I know science can change and more research has come out. My health has focused more towards my gut this past year. Love you guys ♥️
hey Melissa! That's a great question - you're right that things have moved forward as it's become a big area for researchers! I've added it to the list and if I am able to make it happen I'll see about bringing in a leading expert on the gut microbiome so you guys can get it straight from the goats 🧠
At minute 13:54 Mario says that he doesn’t think you have your shit together, and it so wholesome because it means he’s honest about it rather than feeding you BS.
I commend and respect you massively for the responsibility you have to you audience in not promoting something that isn’t back by science as well as refusing to give you opinion on trending bodytypes. As someone who is triggered by these types of ideas I’m so grateful for the message you are putting out. Natacha for prime minister!
Ugh yes!! completely agree with the fact that fitness influencers and content recently has been promising superrrr unrealistic results. SPEAKING FACTS Natacha!! I, too also find it kinda wacky (in a sad way) 😣 that people are using science in their content even though they don’t understand what they’re talking about.
i love your mindset so much. thank you for spreading such a healthy balance for this generation where everything is about glowing up and keeping up with the trend!
I’ve been noticing the negative commentary recently (it is especially the thumbnails!) and appreciate you mentioning it. Also am kind of grateful that you mentioned sex being painful. When I found it painful the first couple times, I thought there might might be something wrong with me/ that I should just write it off. Thanks for this q&a 🙏😊
Honestly I’m chubby but I’m told by people that I’m not, I’ve never been skinny not since I was a little kid when I was severely underweight,I remember celebrating when I hit 61 pounds, I started gaining a ton of weight in middle school and until last year I was very unhealthy I struggle a lot with food and last summer I basically didn’t eat, I only ate when forced I lost a ton of weight and I was so happy with myself but I refused to eat icecream or sweets about 5 mounths ago I started dating a guy who I love so much and I have gained weight and I’ve started to enjoy eating agian I still struggle with body image and honestly social media has made me hate how I look I’m trying my best to be happier and healthier I just really wanted to talk about it and you guys are becoming a safe haven for me ❤thank you for making these videos! Your doing amazing and you guys are incredible people who inspire me so much! Keep rocking on
Please do a science explained of post-workout recovery, e.g. muscle scraping, rolling out, ice baths, stretching (before or after exercise?) And everything in between!! I am so lost hahaha!
health before all 🙌🤟 it really is absolutely insane what they do for us to keep us alive while we're off getting distracted and not noticing, they really are so incredible special 🔥
I really admire and appreciate how you prioritize changing and influencing the fitness world for the better over getting more views or anything like that. Not mentioning the body trends you expect for example, is such a generous thing to do especially as an individual who is very sensitive to that information. It just shows how educated and genuine you are in all of your content! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and messages 💕
I love love LOVE this video! It’s so nice to see you and Mario for a long duration (and him talking his mouth off is such a delight! He always seems quiet and reserved) keep it up as always fave yt influencer! ♥️
Your channel is one of the few fitness channels I actually enjoy everything from. It helps that you don't overproduce. Everything feels up to a certain quality and it's still a delight to watch. I think a lot of people make too many videos and it impacts quality or gets very click baity.
Aaahhhhhh, thank you for this sweet video. With all the serious issues happening in the US (especially today!!!), I had to turn the TV off and find something to make me smile. You never fail and bringing a smile to my heart even when I'm tearing up at the end. You and Mario are two beautiful soles that is truly helping so many of us find a little bit of happiness amongst all the crap. All the best to you both!
First I just want to thank you for being one of the only content creators I've found that not only creates incredible evidence based content, but also empowers and reminds viewers to critically consume information about health and fitness. A bit random in the context of the video, but I have a question/video suggestion that I would absolutely love to hear your perspective on. And I wonder if you've experienced it due to travel for UA-cam and such. I just got back from a month long trip around Europe (I'm from the US). During the trip and after arriving back home I've been dealing with a lot of bloating, stomach pain, and bathroom issues. Obviously diet was very different than usual including higher alcohol consumption, yummy carb heavy foods, less veg, lots of gelato, etc. and I'm sure water consumption was down, however, my first instinct was the diet culture I was raised on (even though weight loss isn't my concern). I instantly thought... hmm maybe a juice or colon cleanse, etc. but after minimal research it seems there isn't much evidence that those options are effective or even safe ones. A few articles said herbal teas, digestive enzymes, and magnesium are options but I'm also not entirely sure how effect those actually are. It's been several days and I'm looking to bounce back to regular gut health but it seems to be taking a bit of time. First, I'd love to know what could be some the causes of digestive shifts during traveling, second, I'd love to know more about the science (or lack thereof) behind cleanses/detoxes as a solution, and third, I'd love to hear any evidence based suggestions you have for managing travelers gut and getting back to normal as quickly as possible. Thanks again for all you do!
Natacha I have watched your content for years and I am always so excited when I see you posted a new video. It’s weird because it’s almost like I swear it’s like an old friendship from the years I have spent watching you. I still even sometimes rewatch old videos of yours to remind me of the importance of sustainability and learning to be at peace with my body. I just truly want to thank you. You have made such an impact on my life.
I was just scrolling through yt feed and look what notification came up, my fave in the whole internet space 😍 and it's a natacha and Mario video, could it get any better? I don't think so ❤️ watching you while cooking dinner. Hope you have a great evening ❤️
Sooo happy that you posted a new video! I just did one of your workouts an hour ago. I am currently in my finals week and seeing you a Mario always gives me a big smile and a warm feeling . Thank you for making me always happy ! I hope you two have a lovely night . Sending lots of love, Eliza.
hey!! ahhh good luck with finals! I remember those days and that stress tooooo well so I'm sending you a lot of love and all the luck in the world. You seem calm and composed compared to how I was so I'm feeling good! All my love back and thank you Eliza
I totally agree with the fitness industry changing to be more of “quick fixes” versus long term health in 2020 😭 I hope you never stop your informative and science based videos!
I like to know more about your transition away from intuitive eating as you used to talk about it. I understand that intentional fat loss is maybe not compatible with intuitive eating, and since that was a goal, maybe that just changed it? But I was wondering if something left you disillusioned or you felt like it just wasn't working for you...
I totally agree about covid-era fitness being focused on short term results and even, like, this intensity of workouts or boredom people felt they needed when gyms were closed. It is really only this year that my expectations changed and I learned how simple and nonrestrictive it can be when thinking long term and beyond aesthetics. I also learned a lot about diet culture, which made channels like yours really click for me even after watching a long time. Before even science-backed information felt like part of the overall commentary because people speak with authority and enthusiasm rather than expertise.
New video day is always the best day! I agree with your opinion on those commentary channels - especially those that use negative clickbait to entice you to watch to learn what XX is doing wrong with their diet, and then the answer is...nothing! It overshadows the good content. Anyway, you are amazing and I love everything you do and always learn so much! xxx
You. Are. So. Real. It really is about “you” and buying into things doesn’t allow you to find happiness or who you are, you are so smart! Love your advice ☺️
This post was just what I needed to see today 🥰 I think you and Mario's advice about finding romantic partners is also really great advice to find friends in general. Thank you for keeping things real and inspiring at the same time. ♥️
I love this girl way too much, like I can trust literally everything she says, and her videos ment soo much for me while i was trying to lose weight ✨❤️
One of my favourite phrases is 'sutor, ne ultra crepidam' or 'shoemaker, not beyond the shoe,' which gave way for the word ultracrepidarianism. It's basically warning individuals to not pass judgement beyond their expertise or, in a sense, to not try and claim knowledge of things they don't understand. That's not to say that people can't learn, but when there are fitness influencers twisting science for their own benefit well... the phrase fits
Natacha your channel has helped me run a personal best today. Clearly you have inspired Mario to run too. The pink hair is fire! Congrats on the new chapter on your journey. You'll get to your Ultramarathon when you're ready. :D
Hi Natacha, would you be interested in doing a fitness journey video? As someone who's built up to a consistent fitness routine and is keen to explore, your current videos are super interesting and fun but their quite hard to adapt because Im at a different point in my journey than you are obvs :) so would you consider doing a video explaining when you got into fitness, how, what you did, and then how you progressed over the years, what you focused on when, what you tried out etc? something like that? not sure if that makes sense? XD anyway, thanks for all your recent uploads, keep them coming! Hope youre doing well and enjoying your day!
Science is such a delicate tool, especially when it comes to exercise and fitness. One study can't express results for a majority of people, often factors are missing or the sample is too limited to a group of certain people. In the end, we can use studies for overviews and theoretical knowledge, but we can't use them as a "solution for everyone". It's always individual and we can gradually learn!
I think Brazilian is different in different places. Here in the states, Brazilian is everything. But I learned in China that Brazilian leaves a strip and the Playboy takes everything! And now you’re mentioning Brazilian vs Hollywood! Must just be different depending on the country/culture. Tbh your physique and performance is peak goals👌 !! Love this candid q&a!! Your advice, especially about sex, is always the best. 😭😭 I swear if yall ever want to adopt, I volunteer as tribute 🤣🤣
I appreciate you guys for always hearing me out and staying so open so we can talk about things honestly ❤️🔥 I know I said I think the fitness space has been 📉 recently but I fully believe we're gonna turn it around 🙏

Speaking of fitness space, I would love if you could look at Sarah's day's three e-books and explain why they suck!
Hey Natacha, love your content and science backed approach to everything! I was wondering if you've heard of Plenity? It's new on the market and they claim their results are backed by science but who better to ask than you?! Lots of love
Where is your sweater from?! I cannot live without it.
After you said you had an idea on the next body “trend” but weren’t going to say it… I found myself so relieved. Like part of me was curious but then a bigger part of me was just happy I didn’t have to have that in the back of my mind, even if I know it’s dumb. So thanks Natacha!
Same!! I also felt relieved because it's probably not an achievable body type for me but that wouldn't stop me from thinking about it
I watched another youtuber talking about this subject and she said it is basically going back to fitness kinda like the fitness craze from the 80s. I think trends need to die.
Agreed!!
I felt the same way! That’s why I love her so much because she always seems to lead your thoughts towards what is really important in life🫶🏻🥺

Natasha's energy and competitive nature is everything. My kindred spirit!!
.... I think I hit a new low when I tried to compete on affection 😂😂😂😂
Hehe I noticed that too, and that nobody can 'out weird you' 😆
Another great video, thanks to you and Mario 👏😁💗
Anything body types, especially as a young female, are important to discuss. There’s such an emphasis on your outer appearance and body shape determining your value in society (unfortunately). So glad you’re touching on this as I know it’s a big insecurity of mine!!

Mario's face going from light to brightest red on the spectrum when you are talking about the bedroom. OMG, so cute.
I knowwwwwwww 😂😂😂😂 it's because he knows that my parents sometimes watch my videos 😂😂😂😂

also love these videos
oh yeah, like I did it the first time and I really wasn't super keen to try it again 😂😂😂
We do our young people a huge disservice if they don't know this... 😓 You are not alone. Sex is natural, but also something that needs practice.
I was shocked to hear that because I never experienced any pain, quite the opposite in fact! Unless the guy was “oversized” and didn’t know what he was doing. Sorry to hear it wasn’t magical, hopefully it will get there :)

"Tenting" (how to know when our bodies are aroused): ua-cam.com/video/WmZnNWtQ2DE/v-deo.html
First time(s) could be painful for lots of reasons but at a minimum, I would hope that new people are aware that you can choose to stretch your hymen slowly and not tear it (which can take weeks, I'm not saying just do this right before.) And also know to consider whether you're attempting insertion before your body is fully aroused (especially if you are nervous.) I'm no sexologist (though the doctor in the videos above is) and I'm not going to promise that would guarantee a pain-free experience, but hopefully this is helpful.
Yassss! My two favorites are back at it again. Natacha I can’t tell you how many times I’ve watched and rewatched…and rewatched…👀 and rewatched your videos. 🙈 My boyfriend is even a fan now because he knows how much I’ve learned from you as well as how happy your videos make me. So happy to see you and Mario on the screen again and answering all of our curious questions. Miss you and lots of love my friend. Have a wonderful week!💛💛🫶🏽🫶🏽
hey Aleah!! Thank you so much for being so supportive, it means the world to me that my videos bring you happiness and that you've learnt from them too!! Miss you too and lots of love always!! Have a beautiful week ahead as well ❤️❤️❤️
That feeling of completely unexpected bliss when you open the UA-cam app and Natacha’s uploaded a new video and better yet, it’s Natacha and Mario together and that’s *just* the perfect side to my dessert cereal 😌
Haha this comment was so funny and then you topped it all off with the dessert cereal at the end 👩🍳 *chefs kiss* 👌 I hope you had fun!
You guys balance each other so well 🥰
he's 100% my better half ❤️❤️❤️
As a 33 year old who’s gone through some pretty toxic body trends. I wish I had the message you sent in that part. It really doesn’t matter, I wish I’d focused on what made me FEEL good. Gosh how my life would have been so much different. I hope the younger girls watching you and who admire you listen to that! Thank you ❤️
I love how open and honest you are. You don’t avoid the “tough” questions and are so respectful with your answers, and of each other. You are truly an inspiration Natacha. My all time favourite UA-camr 💜
Mario's "so you're doing one rep max on affection" made me burst out laughing 🤣
hahah a pretty perfect summary tbh
Natacha is basically like my big sister at this point. Thank you Natacha for being such a good role model for me and so many others and I also want to thank both you and Mario for showing me what love is supposed to be. All my love!!
You’re such a body positive figure. You slowly but surely changed my mindset and approach towards food and exercise. And my life has never been as good as it is rn! Keep coming in hot with your videos because they truly make the difference 🙏🏻♥️🥰💕🤟🏻
I’ve never appreciated and loved a person’s UA-cam channel so much lmao. I watch these videos multiple times like they’re my favorite shows on the tv. Hope we get more videos like this because it’s nice to see what Natacha is thinking sometimes!!!❤️
Nicole 🥺 I really don't know how I got lucky enough to deserve you and everyone. It's so nice just hanging out with you guys and seeing you out and about whenever I can ❤️🔥 Appreciate you always, hope you're in a gooood place and feeling positive about everything that's coming for you!!
13:25 - "And you are beautiful how you are", this made me so happy❤️🔥
the queen of everything she does, I would click on literally anything you post 😆
that's because you're the queen of loyalty Sofia🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️
You two.. omg so sweet, so genuine, so pure.. I will never get tired of repeating this! I had a smile on my face all the time, as always. My heart smiles watching you. Your energy is contagious just because it's pure and honest! Thank you!
I love how upfront and honest y’all are! Especially in the fitness Industry. Thank you both!
My jaw dropped at the audacity of that company using footage of you saying that it didn't work but muted your voice. :O I'm with you about not taking hallucinogens. Whenever someone suggests that I try them, I say "I've written several novels! I don't need those." And thank you for not predicting the next body shape trend - in all honesty it can change from month to month depending on which celeb is being promoted more. No point in stressing over that. I also love how you talked about meeting someone good - my case for dating apps has always been that you increase your chances of meeting a like-minded person in your area, but in reality there is alot of pressure to impress and like you say, you're not meeting them organically so it can be awkward. I will have to join a gym to meet some like-minded people, or even a hiking group.
I was over here chanting “CORGI, CORGI” when the dog question came up and audibly cheered when you followed dachshund up with corgi.
Didn’t think you could get more brownie points in my book than you already have but damn girl you did 🥰
hehehe it's the little butt wiggle that I find so adorable with them 😍😍😍
I support both these choices, two cutest breeds! Consider me the godmother of the pupper 😁
Best study break! ;-p
However, I'm learning toxicology now so it's relevant for those toxic comments and trends lol
You're one of a kind Natacha, always providing good content! xx
Hey my friend!! Ahhh toxicology that's incredible!! I've been getting so interested in venomous jellyfish lately (I got stung abroad before but then I started looking up the box jellyfish and.... I got obsessed) but I feel like I could ask you questions all day!! Thank you so much for watching and have an incredible day!! xxxx
Natacha and Mario are the parents I never knew I needed 🤣 I love your energy! So genuine and funny, I’m happy to see you guys doing great.
You both are so refreshingly authentic. Your commentary on the fitness industry struck a chord, especially around the commentary-heavy channels. Y’all keep doing you ✌🏻❤️
I am so happy that HEALTH and WELLNESS are starting to become bigger trends (if we can call it trends, I just want it to be a staying trend :p). So that's all I'll be saying about body trends: a healthy and well rested one 💛
Thank you for making our life better and providing great content 🔥
Natacha and Mario your humour is impeccable 🤣
Love both of yall
Always Stay Happy and Strong ♥️
hey Akanksha!! Thank you so much!! Stay happy and strong too and have an incredible week ahead!! xxxx
I've been neglecting my health and fitness lately. Tomorrow I'm going on a skiing trip for the first time, and I'm super excited! I hope it will help jump start some healthy habits
Seeing a new video for you always makes me happy! Your positive energy is infectious! Thanks for being open with us 💙
thank you so much Elizabeth!! I love chats like these!! All my love ❤️💕💕💕
Anyone else watch the last name pronunciation portion and end up cackling all the way through?? I love the dynamic between you two ❤️
Do you think you can do an updated video on gut health? I watched your video from a few years ago but I know science can change and more research has come out. My health has focused more towards my gut this past year. Love you guys ♥️
hey Melissa! That's a great question - you're right that things have moved forward as it's become a big area for researchers! I've added it to the list and if I am able to make it happen I'll see about bringing in a leading expert on the gut microbiome so you guys can get it straight from the goats 🧠
At minute 13:54 Mario says that he doesn’t think you have your shit together, and it so wholesome because it means he’s honest about it rather than feeding you BS.
Mario’s humor and Natacha’s sarcasm elevate this to another level 😂😂😂
They way you discuss fitness trends is so refreshing. You are so educated on the topic and kind when speaking on it. More people need to be like you!
This was such a perfect way to end my day. Relaxing and funny, like talking with a friend. Laughed out loud a few times. Thank you for that 🥰
I commend and respect you massively for the responsibility you have to you audience in not promoting something that isn’t back by science as well as refusing to give you opinion on trending bodytypes. As someone who is triggered by these types of ideas I’m so grateful for the message you are putting out. Natacha for prime minister!
Ugh yes!! completely agree with the fact that fitness influencers and content recently has been promising superrrr unrealistic results. SPEAKING FACTS Natacha!! I, too also find it kinda wacky (in a sad way) 😣 that people are using science in their content even though they don’t understand what they’re talking about.
i love your mindset so much. thank you for spreading such a healthy balance for this generation where everything is about glowing up and keeping up with the trend!
I really appreciate you being so sweet, thank you so much 🥺 it can be quite hard to strike the delicate balance but I'm trying, it means a lot ❤️🔥
I’ve been noticing the negative commentary recently (it is especially the thumbnails!) and appreciate you mentioning it. Also am kind of grateful that you mentioned sex being painful. When I found it painful the first couple times, I thought there might might be something wrong with me/ that I should just write it off. Thanks for this q&a 🙏😊
Honestly I’m chubby but I’m told by people that I’m not, I’ve never been skinny not since I was a little kid when I was severely underweight,I remember celebrating when I hit 61 pounds, I started gaining a ton of weight in middle school and until last year I was very unhealthy I struggle a lot with food and last summer I basically didn’t eat, I only ate when forced I lost a ton of weight and I was so happy with myself but I refused to eat icecream or sweets about 5 mounths ago I started dating a guy who I love so much and I have gained weight and I’ve started to enjoy eating agian I still struggle with body image and honestly social media has made me hate how I look I’m trying my best to be happier and healthier I just really wanted to talk about it and you guys are becoming a safe haven for me ❤thank you for making these videos! Your doing amazing and you guys are incredible people who inspire me so much! Keep rocking on
I love the videos you do together. Best friend vibes.
ahh thank you!! We are non-platonic best friends 😂😂😂
@@natachaoceane NPBFFs
Please do a science explained of post-workout recovery, e.g. muscle scraping, rolling out, ice baths, stretching (before or after exercise?) And everything in between!! I am so lost hahaha!
We train to be HEALTHY and being strong is pretty cool! All bodies are beautiful, as long as it keeps me functioning I'm happy.
health before all 🙌🤟 it really is absolutely insane what they do for us to keep us alive while we're off getting distracted and not noticing, they really are so incredible special 🔥
@@natachaoceane It is rather amazing!
I really admire and appreciate how you prioritize changing and influencing the fitness world for the better over getting more views or anything like that. Not mentioning the body trends you expect for example, is such a generous thing to do especially as an individual who is very sensitive to that information. It just shows how educated and genuine you are in all of your content! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and messages 💕
I love love LOVE this video! It’s so nice to see you and Mario for a long duration (and him talking his mouth off is such a delight! He always seems quiet and reserved) keep it up as always fave yt influencer! ♥️
Your channel is one of the few fitness channels I actually enjoy everything from. It helps that you don't overproduce. Everything feels up to a certain quality and it's still a delight to watch. I think a lot of people make too many videos and it impacts quality or gets very click baity.
So active lately, im in love ❤️🥰
thank you so much Natalia!! All my love 😍😍😍
Aaahhhhhh, thank you for this sweet video. With all the serious issues happening in the US (especially today!!!), I had to turn the TV off and find something to make me smile. You never fail and bringing a smile to my heart even when I'm tearing up at the end. You and Mario are two beautiful soles that is truly helping so many of us find a little bit of happiness amongst all the crap. All the best to you both!
I love how supportive Mario is during her jewellery tour 😂
Lol I actually cut bits out with even more of this but he really was 😂😍
You guys are such lovely people, you just radiate positivity and realness. I'd listen to you talk for hours!
my week is now complete, natacha is here
you're the best Emily!! Thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Your voice is so important for young people. Keep sharing your light!💖
It so feels like you are my big sister, looking out for me. Love the vibes!!❤️
I'll always be looking out for you 😘😘😘😘
First I just want to thank you for being one of the only content creators I've found that not only creates incredible evidence based content, but also empowers and reminds viewers to critically consume information about health and fitness. A bit random in the context of the video, but I have a question/video suggestion that I would absolutely love to hear your perspective on. And I wonder if you've experienced it due to travel for UA-cam and such. I just got back from a month long trip around Europe (I'm from the US). During the trip and after arriving back home I've been dealing with a lot of bloating, stomach pain, and bathroom issues. Obviously diet was very different than usual including higher alcohol consumption, yummy carb heavy foods, less veg, lots of gelato, etc. and I'm sure water consumption was down, however, my first instinct was the diet culture I was raised on (even though weight loss isn't my concern). I instantly thought... hmm maybe a juice or colon cleanse, etc. but after minimal research it seems there isn't much evidence that those options are effective or even safe ones. A few articles said herbal teas, digestive enzymes, and magnesium are options but I'm also not entirely sure how effect those actually are. It's been several days and I'm looking to bounce back to regular gut health but it seems to be taking a bit of time.
First, I'd love to know what could be some the causes of digestive shifts during traveling, second, I'd love to know more about the science (or lack thereof) behind cleanses/detoxes as a solution, and third, I'd love to hear any evidence based suggestions you have for managing travelers gut and getting back to normal as quickly as possible.
Thanks again for all you do!
absolutely loved this! feels like i was chatting and getting advice from some older friends :) love you two bunches!!
Natacha I have watched your content for years and I am always so excited when I see you posted a new video. It’s weird because it’s almost like I swear it’s like an old friendship from the years I have spent watching you. I still even sometimes rewatch old videos of yours to remind me of the importance of sustainability and learning to be at peace with my body. I just truly want to thank you. You have made such an impact on my life.
I was just scrolling through yt feed and look what notification came up, my fave in the whole internet space 😍 and it's a natacha and Mario video, could it get any better? I don't think so ❤️ watching you while cooking dinner. Hope you have a great evening ❤️
thank you so much Noemi!! I hope you enjoy your dinner, we're right there with ya!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Mario is a a whole bean 🥰 and Natacha is such a sweetheart. What a duo and amazing individuals also
Merci tellement Natacha pour tout ce contenu FANTASTIQUE! xxx btw ce cardigan jaune te va siiii bien!!
merci Alexia!! C'est trop gentil ❤️❤️❤️ Le haut vient de Saboskirt 😍 j'adore leurs habits!! 😍😍
You are hands down my fav UA-camr!! So thoughtful, diplomatic, and well spoken 😊 been watching for years and will continue to do so!
Somehow I always end up watching the whole video in a sitting when I should have gone back to my other tasks today aha. Love u!
hehe!! we got you!! love you too!! ❤️❤️❤️
good lord! Natacha, I admire so much how you zip away the noise and continue on, you are so smart & produce truly valuable content so thanks man!
Sooo happy that you posted a new video! I just did one of your workouts an hour ago. I am currently in my finals week and seeing you a Mario always gives me a big smile and a warm feeling . Thank you for making me always happy ! I hope you two have a lovely night . Sending lots of love, Eliza.
hey!! ahhh good luck with finals! I remember those days and that stress tooooo well so I'm sending you a lot of love and all the luck in the world. You seem calm and composed compared to how I was so I'm feeling good! All my love back and thank you Eliza
@@natachaoceane Thank you so much for answering to me and saying all those things. I definelty feel all the love^^.
I love your energy and confidence while being honest and vulnerable in front of us, keep it up
This was a fun one!so fun to “hang” with you two! Girl, can you do a study tips vid?
This was the best video! I found myself smiling the whole time.
Always appreciate your honesty, Natacha!
I totally agree with the fitness industry changing to be more of “quick fixes” versus long term health in 2020 😭 I hope you never stop your informative and science based videos!
Your q&a's are epic! Love seeing you both in vids!
thank you so much Camy!!! All my love!! xxx
You both are just a joy to watch, so funny and you genuinely seem like such good people, love it!
My friends and I love watching your videos together! So excited to watch this! You're such an inspiration! ❤️
ahh thank you so much Lisa!! Please say hi to all your friends too!! 👋👋👋 from me and Mario 😘😘😘😘
Thank you for being an amazing role model, you and Mario are super adorable
I like to know more about your transition away from intuitive eating as you used to talk about it. I understand that intentional fat loss is maybe not compatible with intuitive eating, and since that was a goal, maybe that just changed it? But I was wondering if something left you disillusioned or you felt like it just wasn't working for you...
I totally agree about covid-era fitness being focused on short term results and even, like, this intensity of workouts or boredom people felt they needed when gyms were closed. It is really only this year that my expectations changed and I learned how simple and nonrestrictive it can be when thinking long term and beyond aesthetics. I also learned a lot about diet culture, which made channels like yours really click for me even after watching a long time. Before even science-backed information felt like part of the overall commentary because people speak with authority and enthusiasm rather than expertise.
Just got home collapsed on bed after a 14hour day so can chill watching this 😄 you're the best Natacha and Mario too 😊❤️xx
New video day is always the best day! I agree with your opinion on those commentary channels - especially those that use negative clickbait to entice you to watch to learn what XX is doing wrong with their diet, and then the answer is...nothing! It overshadows the good content. Anyway, you are amazing and I love everything you do and always learn so much! xxx
Your videos always make my days better! I love you!!
that's all I could ever ask for!! Love you back!! xxx
You. Are. So. Real. It really is about “you” and buying into things doesn’t allow you to find happiness or who you are, you are so smart! Love your advice ☺️
This post was just what I needed to see today 🥰 I think you and Mario's advice about finding romantic partners is also really great advice to find friends in general. Thank you for keeping things real and inspiring at the same time. ♥️
OMG, this video was like talking with close friends. Thanks for the atmosphere and the excellent content Natacha !💓
Really love all your videos and lots of them are also helping me on my recovery road, of getting out of the eating disorder I am struggling with
hey Camilla!! I'm really glad my videos can help 💕💕💕 I'm so proud of you! ❤️❤️❤️
@@natachaoceane thank you
That means a lot ❤
Really wish that I could meet you in person some day 😊❤
I love this girl way too much, like I can trust literally everything she says, and her videos ment soo much for me while i was trying to lose weight ✨❤️
thank you for everything you do🥺❤️ your jokes always make my day!
ahh thank you Josefina!! All my love!! xxxx
One of my favourite phrases is 'sutor, ne ultra crepidam' or 'shoemaker, not beyond the shoe,' which gave way for the word ultracrepidarianism. It's basically warning individuals to not pass judgement beyond their expertise or, in a sense, to not try and claim knowledge of things they don't understand. That's not to say that people can't learn, but when there are fitness influencers twisting science for their own benefit well... the phrase fits
Ahh day made! You and Mario never fail to make me smile 🥺🤠
🥺 you're so cute, it means a lot that you're smiling!
Loved your q & a video. You and Mario are so genuine and it is always entertaining to watch you two. All your content is amazing!
I can't with the very phallic looking candle in the back 😂🌚
Hahah someone said this a second ago and now it’s what I see 😂😂😂 I think it’s the perfect angle 👀
Natacha your channel has helped me run a personal best today. Clearly you have inspired Mario to run too.
The pink hair is fire!
Congrats on the new chapter on your journey. You'll get to your Ultramarathon when you're ready. :D
Hi Natacha, would you be interested in doing a fitness journey video? As someone who's built up to a consistent fitness routine and is keen to explore, your current videos are super interesting and fun but their quite hard to adapt because Im at a different point in my journey than you are obvs :) so would you consider doing a video explaining when you got into fitness, how, what you did, and then how you progressed over the years, what you focused on when, what you tried out etc? something like that? not sure if that makes sense? XD anyway, thanks for all your recent uploads, keep them coming! Hope youre doing well and enjoying your day!
Science is such a delicate tool, especially when it comes to exercise and fitness. One study can't express results for a majority of people, often factors are missing or the sample is too limited to a group of certain people. In the end, we can use studies for overviews and theoretical knowledge, but we can't use them as a "solution for everyone". It's always individual and we can gradually learn!
I see Natacha, I click and play ASAP. Didn’t expect her to say “cojones” today though. 🤣
you rock Steve 🤟🙌
@@natachaoceane Right back to you. Keep up the good work.
Love this! The community and honesty you are hosting is inspiring!
I laughed so many times during this video!! Great start to my day:D
I’ve been watching you for years and you are just truly such an amazing person!
I think Brazilian is different in different places. Here in the states, Brazilian is everything. But I learned in China that Brazilian leaves a strip and the Playboy takes everything! And now you’re mentioning Brazilian vs Hollywood! Must just be different depending on the country/culture.
Tbh your physique and performance is peak goals👌 !! Love this candid q&a!!
Your advice, especially about sex, is always the best. 😭😭 I swear if yall ever want to adopt, I volunteer as tribute 🤣🤣
