Make sure you’re following us on Instagram @breadandbetterpodcast and subscribed here so you don’t miss it.

Love you all! xo Important Note: If this is the first episode I IMPLORE you to please go back and listen from episode three onwards as the sound quality of our show is usually schmick but this episode was recorded under unusual circumstances! Bread and Better is hosted by Tegan Padget a qualified personal trainer, sports nutritionist, chef, and owner of the online lifestyle coaching business called Fitty Tegs, and Alex Whittington a freelance feature writer, producer, the owner of Hey Al!
