Today marks the beginning of the Great Slow Living Experiments Experiment!

In case you missed it, Ben and Brooke have given their bodies and brains to science* in the name of testing a variety of slow living approaches.

Every month they choose one experiment to focus their attention on, and each Monday release a podcast where they talk about their experience to date. And today is the very first one!

February sees them giving up processed sugar in an attempt to become more mindful of what they’re eating, as both have been guilty of slipping in to boredom/emotional/habitual eating.

It made sense to cut out sugar first, as that’s one of the biggest drivers for mindless eating and one that’s currently very popular.

So a few days ago they began. And it wasn’t pretty…


*Not really science. Just Brooke and Ben.

To strive is human, to saunter divine. Welcome to The Tortoise - a podcast that digs deep into the power of slow. Brooke McAlary (author of "Slow", "Care" and "Destination Simple") is joined by her husband Ben for a monthly deep dive into the realities of trying to live slow in a world that won't stop racing. On the third Thursday of every month, join Brooke and Ben for an unscripted, unedited, always candid and usually fun conversation about slow living and how embracing our inner tortoise can impact every part of life: relationships, work, family, community, tech, health, care, personal growth. If you’re burnt out, overwhelmed, frustrated at the sheer pace of life or just looking for a sign to slow down, this is the podcast (a plodcast!) for you.
