Today on the show, I was honored to speak with Dr. Liz Pekas. The origin of her story did not begin with science, as many would believe based on her vast scientific achievements, but rather the arts. Through unwavering belief in herself, she was able to make the pivot to forge a new path. Not only did we discuss the importance of establishing a support system for when the demands of life increase, but we touched base on other trials and tribulations that she had to endure to become who she is today.

We also explored her research focus - Nitric Oxide (NO). She unpacked NO's role in athletic, general, and disease populations. The differences between natural and synthetic NO ingredients within exercise supplements, and more. Liz earned her Doctor of Philosophy in Biomechanics and Exercise Physiology from the University of Nebraska at Omaha. She is currently a Medical Affairs Manager with the American Diabetes Association.

Progress is painful, especially when it's invisible.

In this episode, I take you through my reflection on the prior six months.

I share my experiences of learning that progress isn't linear, comfortable, or visible.

But instead, it can be invisible, complex, and painful.

In this solo episode, I answer the question: Should you eat back the calories that you burned? And How many calories do you burn from your workouts? These are questions that are often asked and ones that I've asked myself at one point. So, here, I answer these questions for you. I dive into your total daily energy expenditure (TDEE), metabolic rate, the caloric needs of each age/gender group, and the calories you burn while lifting, doing cardio, or even HIIT. As well as the reliability of wrist-based wearables, how calories are accessed, and some psychological downfalls you may experience by feeling like you have to "earn" your food.

In this inspiring conversation, I sat down with Gabriella Moore, an extraordinary individual who went against all odds to merge the two worlds of science and art. Gabriella breakdown’s how the pandemic created the environment needed for her handmade earring business to take life. Later, Gabriella shares how a simple dinner out with her friends caused her to sign a 2-year tattoo studio lease with zero clients. Through that single leap of faith, Gabriella decided to hang up her lab coat to become a serial entrepreneur at 23. Gabriella is the founder of 47Wires and Twenty47: Omaha Fine Line Tattoo + Permanent Jewelry.
