This week, Holly & Olivia dive into some fitness-related questions. 

We cover:

1. I love attending the group classes at my gym, but I can tell that sometimes the workout of the day isn’t really what my body needs. What should I do in those situations?

2. Group classes aren’t working for me any more, but I find it really hard to motivate myself to work out on my own - how do I manage this?

3. I always struggle to hit the recommended amounts of steps, sleep, water etc - I find it so overwhelming! How can I start hitting them?

We hope you enjoy this episode - if you have a question for a future episode, submit it to us via our Instagram DMs at @bewellcartel !

In this episode, Oliva and Holly answer client questions and talk about some interesting research around fat consumption + stress relief.

> Is it more important to prioritise sleep quality or sleep quantity?

> I think I want to work on my relationship with food and my body, but every time I seem to take a few steps and then I get scared and quit. How can I move past this?

Energy availability is the energy our body has left over from our calorie intake after we take away the calories from exercise - the energy it uses to keep all your organs and body functions running.

This week we’re talking about the state of Low Energy Availability - when we are consistently not giving our bodies enough energy for them to repair, rebuild, and do all the other awesome things that bodies do to support us.

A lot of the time we might not realize that we’re in a state of LEA until it goes so far that we see menstrual cycle irregularities, but there are SO many signs before then that are important to look out for so that you can reverse it before things go too far.

Join us for a discussion on LEA where we will talk about:

> What *is* Low Energy Availability?

> How is it different from RED-S?

> What are the early signs of LEA?

> What are the signs of chronic LEA?

> What should you do if you think you might be in a state of LEA and are seeing some of the signs?

In this episode, Olivia and Gillian answer three questions:

> Is it OK to have high standards?

> Why are some people naturally leaner than others? How much of it is genetics and how much is lifestyle?

> How do I reconcile being a people pleaser with my health and fitness goals?
