Health over aesthetics and how to fuel your body for training with Kelsea Hellyar

Kelsea Hellyar and Dana discuss why it’s so important to prioritize health over aesthetics, and to put equal weight on training both your mental and physical health. You can’t sacrifice your mental health in pursuit of your physical health! They also talk about burnout, overtraining, the most common signs of overtraining, and how to adjust your training and nutrition to different seasons of your life. They also dive into common nutrition tips and myths around weightlifting and functional fitness training – and why following some of these trends will make you feel way worse!
