Description

The Born to Thrive Podcast was created to be a safe and welcoming environment for anyone and everyone in the world and support them on their health and fitness journey. I, Alex Allen your host, have fallen victim to a lot of the misinformation out there, in turn mistreating my mind and body. I don't want that to be you. My goal is to help you embrace the power you already hold so you can thrive. I love entertaining others and helping people find joy in fitness. Drink your water, Eat your veggies, Move your body, and Don't be a dick.
