Hey guys! I wanted this podcast to be focused on taking a mental detox from social media.

They see people making more progress they feel like failures, its an overwhelm. So let's open the conversation on how this could be hurting our mental health and what we should do about it!

Hey Guys! This week I had some pretty incredible revelations on running and the impact it has on my mental health. Sometimes it is great to hear it from another source! I was sick all week, but that doesn't mean I wasn't active and didn't workout, sometimes not working out is prepping you for some great training ahead!

Hey guys! I want to tell you my experience with the hyperbaric oxygen chamber at the Be Healthy Utah Conference! 

Before I give you the run down, I want you to know the benefits of the chamber for athletes,  these chambers expose athletes to increased atmospheric pressure and oxygen levels, which can promote tissue repair, reduce inflammation, and boost the immune system.

Now, what do I think?

Hey guys! So this week we do not have a guest on for a therapy session, but I am asking the most common questions that have come into the inbox! Those are:
1) How do I start running?
2) Should I stretch before and after a run?
3)  How should I fuel during a race?

I have tried so many things as a runner and love trying to help you make the best choices for yourself. I will NEVER tell you what you should do, I am such an advocate for trying different things on your own and see how it works for you, but here are my general explanations to these questions!
