  • Weighted Vests: Health Hack or All Hype?? (the REAL science) | PD Podcast Ep.242

    If YOU'RE ready to make real, sustainable change in your life, jump on a free call with us - https://physiquedevelopment.typeform.com/to/ToP9TYLE


    Weighted vests… You’ve seen them everywhere, but is there any truth to the hype—or is this just another fitness trend that sounds too good to be true?


    In today's episode, Sue and Alex are cutting through the noise and diving deep into the actual research behind weighted vests. They're breaking down the studies, sharing their personal experiences, and revealing what the science really says about these claims.


    Sue and Alex discuss why certain populations—especially high-performing women—need to be particularly careful about falling for quick-fix solutions. They'll also share what actually works for improving bone density, preserving muscle mass, and achieving sustainable fat loss.


    Whether you've been tempted to jump on the weighted vest bandwagon or you're just curious about separating fact from fiction, this episode is a must-listen. Let's get into it!

  • This Is What REAL Ownership Looks Like | PD Fit Bits

    When you hear the words "extreme ownership," what's the first thing that pops into your mind? Probably some drill sergeant barking at you that there are no excuses and you just need to keep pushing harder and punishing yourself until you succeed...


    ...But that's not ownership, that's shame in disguise. And shame doesn't lead to lasting change.


    Want to know what *actual* ownership looks like? Coach Sue is here today to tell you just that.

  • How to Lose Weight WITHOUT Tracking Calories | PD Podcast Ep.239

    "Can I lose weight without tracking my food?"


    It's one of the most requested questions we get. Tracking can feel restrictive, tedious, and like something you want to graduate from as quickly as possible. Everyone wants the freedom to eat intuitively, to listen to their body, and to stop obsessing over numbers in an app… But here's the truth: real food freedom doesn't come from avoiding tracking. It comes from mastering it first.


    In this episode, we're flipping the narrative on food tracking completely. We'll explore why so many people resist tracking, the actual problem that creates the need to track forever, and how using tracking as a temporary educational tool—not a permanent prison—builds the foundation for true intuitive eating.

  • Your Excuses Are VALID... But That Doesn't Make Them USEFUL | PD Fit Bits

  • Busting Plateaus, Worthless Supplements, Irrational Icks, & Things We Probably Shouldn't Say Out Loud... | PD Podcast Ep.238

    In this comprehensive coaching Q&A session, we dive deep into the most common fitness and nutrition challenges that keep people from reaching their goals. Starting with the frustrating plateau problem—when you're checking all the boxes but not seeing progress—we explore what coaches look for first and what realistic results actually look like in the first three months of training.


    We also tackle practical questions like knowing when to take a deload week, which supplements are actually worth your money versus complete wastes, and whether cardio is necessary for muscle growth. Plus, discover the #1 thing that surprises new coaching clients, actionable strategies for staying on track while traveling, and managing your goals when life gets stressful.


    And just when you thought this was all business, we take a hard left turn into the wonderfully chaotic realm of irrational icks and unhinged opinions!

  • You're Not Being Selfish, You're Being RESPONSIBLE | PD Fit Bits

    Prioritizing yourself isn't selfish—it's essential. Yet so many of us carry guilt for taking time to recharge and care for our own needs.


    If you're constantly running yourself into the ground while doing everything for everyone else, you're likely burnt out and pouring from an empty cup. You're the only one responsible for how you show up in life… And ignoring your own self-care? That's what's actually selfish.


    Tune in as Sue drops wisdom on why self-care isn't optional and how to reclaim your energy without the guilt.


    As always, it is our goal not only to supply you, the listener, with valuable insights on the topics or questions but also to plant some seeds for further research and thought. Be sure to like and subscribe and leave us a review if you loved this episode!
