More Than Macros

It's the great big virally infected elephant in the room and with so much uncertainty, disruption to regular routine, unprecedented Government action (or inaction as the case may be) - the MTMM coaches thought it would be best to start to work our way through what's fact, what's hysteria, what we're seeing developing and how our community can best adapt to remain as healthy as possible

Josh Ward is the owner of Controlled Chaos Weightlifting in Coburg, as well as the driving force behind 'The Weightlifting Platform', a media outlet dedicated to shining a light on the sport of Olympic Weightlifting and telling the stories of the athletes that make it great. 
With a sense of purpose and a level headedness very rarely found amongst men his age, I'm super excited to not only hear how much he has already accomplished to this point, but to be able to see just what the future has in store for Josh and his athletes.

Chris Ackland would have to be in my top five nicest guys you'll ever meet. The kind of guy who would list making new friends as high on his priorities list as improving his weightlifting total.
In this episode, we explored the origins of Iron Tribe, how it came to be and the somewhat daunting and daring choices you're faced with when deciding to go out on your own.
A fantastic conversation that I really enjoyed - and I'm sure you will too!

In this episode we sit down with both Ben and Katrina to discuss the impact of sharing their journey.

Ben and Kat have received an overwhelming amount of feedback since opening up about their IVF journey.  From people in their close group of friends, to complete strangers, it's evident that the impact has been strong. 

Ben and Kat also open up about:

• Feelings of guilt when it comes to having had a successful first round of IVF
• Comparing experiences to others who have had natural pregnancies and others going through IVF
• Discussions of anxieties that crop up in pregnancy regardless if you're going through IVF
• Ben's insight into the changes that are occurring to Kat
• Pregnancy and body image 
• Expectations vs reality of IVF 
• The need to be more conversant about your journey and struggles to realize you aren't alone

In this final episode of the IVF Series, Kat shares with us the results of her 6 week ultrasound and whether or not they can now say that they are officially pregnant! 

Since week 4, Kat has been experiencing many symptoms that led her to believe that things were continuing, but going in for the official 6 week scan was quite the build up.

With all of the symptoms she is experiencing, Kat shares with us how she’s managing to stay on top of her nutrition and training and where she’s struggling most - from trying to get in enough protein, to modifying her training and regulating her body temperature. 

Kat also delves into why exactly we experiencing these symptoms - explaining the hormonal and physical changes that occur and why women might experience them differently.

Who would have thought that peeing on a stick is something you could feel you were missing out on...

In this episode, Kat shares with us the experience of waiting to find out if she is biochemically pregnant (and whether or not she is!).  Those 10 days between the embryo transfer and the blood test seem to have felt like an eternity. Overanalyzing symptoms, not being able to trust your body and constantly comparing the experience to that of a natural pregnancy - what you don't hear about, think about or talk about when it comes to in-vitro fertilization.

A lot has happened in the couple of weeks that have passed since we last sat down with Katrina Borg - from a surgery to harvest her eggs, to implantation and all of the unexpected challenges that came with.

She knew it would be a difficult experience, but the ways in which the experience has challenged her have been completely unexpected. 

In this episode, Katrina shares the details of her experience with the egg harvest surgery and embryo transfer, and the agonizing wait for the results of their first pregnancy test. 

Thanks for listening! Please leave a review and get in touch if you have any questions, or similar experiences to share.

When your ability to perform is compromised and your expenditure is therefore reduced, what does that mean for your nutritional requirements? In this episode we discuss what you should consider when altering your intake, the importance of the quality of your food choices and what to do when your motivation is suffering.

This topic came from an inquiry within the community regarding how to adjust your nutrition intake and diet when you are faced with an injury.  We thought this to be a very important topic to cover as injuries are common throughout the general population and with our athlete population, are essentially inevitable to some extent.  

We also had some feedback that you would like these videos to stay within 10 minutes so we did our best to make it within the time cap! Hope you enjoy.

Comment below with your thoughts on the topic, as well as questions we can answer in future episodes!

In this episode, coach Ben and Maggie sit down to discuss a topic that commonly comes up in conversations with clients - the scale!

We chat about: 

What the number you see on the scale isn’t telling you.

What variables can cause the number to fluctuate which have absolutely nothing to do with actual physical changes.

Where you should be shifting your focus when it comes to monitoring and measuring your progress. 

We hope this topic will spark some good conversation within the community. Leave a comment, or reach out to one of the MTMM coaches if you have any reflections or questions we can touch on in future episodes!
