  • Episode 60: What Your Poop is Trying to Tell You & Why You Should Listen with Allison Fahrenbach

    In Episode 60, Tina is joined by a special guest to discuss digestive health and why we all need to care about what our poop is trying to tell us! Having struggled with her own digestive disease, Allison is passionate about gut health  and studying to become a specialist in this area. 

    Everybody poops. We’ve been taught this since childhood, but sometimes, people aren’t comfortable talking about it. Poop may not be a topic fit for dinner table conversation, but it’s a completely normal — and essential — bodily function. Plus, it can tell you a lot about your health.

    A bowel movement is the last stop your food makes as it goes through your digestive tract. Your poop is what’s left of your food and drink after your body absorbs important nutrients.

    What and how you eat affects your digestive system, and sometimes, your bowel movements can change simply because of changes in your diet. Other times, changes in bowel movements signify something more serious. What’s “normal” depends on each individual person — but take a listen and learn that there are some signs you can look for that mean something may be off.

  • Episode 59: Back to Basics - Food Logging

    Sometimes we all need a little refresher on some of the most basic things we can do to reach our health and fitness goals. That's why we're starting our new series, "Back to Basics." In Episode 59, Brandi and Tina discuss food tracking and logging. We cover why tracking your nutrition is important, when it's appropriate and when it might not be necessary and then get into some of the most common mistakes we see that trip people up and often lead to slower progress. 

    Whether your seasoned "food logger" or you're new to the game, this podcast is a great way to ensure you're getting the best bang for your nutrition logging buck and optimizing progress toward your goals.

  • Boni-sode 11: Walk Down Memory Lane and OCB Natty Bodybuilding in 2021

    In this special boni-sode , we sat down with OCB "heads" Sean "Sully" Sullivan (just a guy) and Marjorie Thrash. Brandi sat this one out, so Tina was joined by her husband, Eric. We spent some time walking down memory lane with Sully, who was our first coach when we started in this sport back in 2005.  A lot has changed over the years, but what has NOT changed is our love and passion for the sport and the friends we've made along the way.

    Find out all the cool and excited things in store with the OCB in 2021! Lots of safety precautions so that shows can safely go on even while we're still in the midst of the pandemic and some really special things happening at the OCB Yorton Cup in October! Things that are SO COOL makes an old lady like me think I should come out of retirement (just kidding).

    Check out the OCB show schedule here: https://ocbonline.com/event_schedule.php

  • Episode 58: Mindfulness - The REAL Magic Pill?

    The word mindfulness is thrown around a lot in our current culture, but what does it really mean to be "mindful" and why should you care? In Episode 58 Brandi and Tina discuss the topic of mindfulness, what it means, why you should be implementing some sort of mindfulness practice, and how it can help you in every aspect of your life.

    mind·ful·ness /ˈmīn(d)f(ə)lnəs/ noun

    • A mental state achieved by focusing one's awareness on the present moment, while calmly acknowledging and accepting one's feelings, thoughts, and bodily sensations, used as a therapeutic technique.

    If we had to choose ONE thing that could make all the difference in your overall happiness, wellbeing, health, fitness and nutrition ventures, mindfulness would likely be that thing. I could truly be "the magic pill."

  • Episode 57: What's in a Client Check-in?

    You may here Brandi and Tina discuss "client check-ins" frequently; but what the heck is a check-in anyway? What's involved? What do the clients tell us and how do we respond?

    In Episode 57, you'll get a live, virtual check-in with our client Chris F. Chris was in the beginning stages of preparing for fall competitions and started to feel as though she couldn't do it, or rather, she was "getting weird." Chris discussed previously in an empowerment series episode how she had what she considered PTSD from competition preps in the past so "getting weird" is her safe word for how she is starting to get triggered.  During our virtual check-in, you'll hear how we present her with some possible options that could allow her to continue with prep without "getting weird." We don't tell clients what they should or shouldn't do, but rather, give them options and other ways of thinking to help them make the best possible decision for themselves.

  • Episode 55: I Want to Compete, but....

    So you think you want to compete or maybe you just want to train to look like you do? We have news for you....no you don't! In this episode, Brandi and Tina have a brutally honest conversation about what it really takes to compete IN ANY SPORT! Learn about the athletic 'bell curve' and how too often people 'think' they want to compete or worse yet, 'think' they want to just LOOK like they compete. More often than not most are really not willing or ready to do what it takes to get to the 'elite' side of the athletic bell curve. Before you "think you want to compete BUT..." have a listen and save yourself some time and frustration.

  • Episode 53: The Empowerment Project - Nathalia's Story

    In episode 53, Brandi and Tina bring you another amazing empowerment story, told in her own words. You've heard us mention Nathalia (Nat, Nathalie) in episodes past, most recently in one of our show reviews. She is truly incredible as an athlete, one of the most hard working, kindest women we've ever met and yeah, we call her our human Barbie because she's stunning. But beyond that, she has an amazing tale of resilience and grit, and an unwillingness to quit no matter the circumstance. Take a listen and learn how this incredible woman balances her sport, veterinarian school, traveling cross country, and all in the middle of a pandemic.
