A basic intro to macros (macronutrients). Let's get into this buzzword in the fitness industry. What are macros's and what do they mean for your health and fitness goals?  Also - No matter what you have heard fruit is NOT the enemy of your diet goals.  How many people do you know that are super out of shape that eat ONLY fruit?  

Stay tuned for all things health, fitness, lifting, training, and more on the Strength Foundation Podcast.

Political ideology is not an excuse in the Buffalo shooting.  A man (not a boy) made a hate-filled and racist decision to murder innocent Black people on Saturday 5/14/22. His political beliefs don't surpass his free will and choice. The man chose to kill these people.  He was not a robot and only he made that fateful decision that destroyed so many lives.  Political ideals can play a part in extremism, but they are not solely to blame.  Every person has character and morals and the decision each day of how they choose to live.  Check out my take on the media narrative about the "Great Replacement Theory" in terms of the Buffalo shooter.

Today the opening statements began in the federal civil rights trial facing the police charged with killing George Floyd. Derek Chauvin is not part of this trial after changing his plea to guilty on these charges. This is NOT a murder trial for these officers - the state murder trial will take place later this year. This trial will determine if the actions - or in action of the officers contributed to a violation of the civil rights of George Floyd.  What do you think? 

Welcome to The Distonic Studios Podcast -- all things news, tech, current events, and more.  In this episode I am talking about CA bringing back the INDOOR mask mandate for ALL -- even the vaccinated.  What do you think about this drastic change? 

Hey everyone!! I hope you are all safe, healthy and hanging in there.  Coaching updates.  Also some news.  It looks like we have another 30 days of quarantine coming in the USA due to Covid-19.  Also - FDA authorizes trials on 2 drugs that may help cure Covid-19.

Missing the gym but getting things done.  Leave a comment/message if you are sidelined from training and staying busy.  

Hey friends, just checking in from CA.  Week 2 of quarantine.  My plan is to try and stay on some kind of schedule, and spend some of the time I would have been in the gym working on my education, bettering myself and getting in some more remote work in tech to offset the lost $$$ from this event.  Hoping everyone is healthy, well & staying sane.  Sending out some positivity to all of you. 

Checking in. How is everyone doing that is gym-less and hanging out at home?  Finally got some home training in today. I am not a fan but it's necessary & good for us.  Also, sharing info about my online training programs and changes I am making due to the current quarantine in CA.  Send me your questions and topic ideas.  Keep fighting, keep your head up and stay strong.  Coach Lisa.  

In this episode:

Crazy times in CA due to the Corona virus.  It's too bad the USA opted out of using the detection test that the W.H.O had up and running weeks ago.  It seems that waiting for the CDC to create a new test has had a drastic impact on the spread of the virus as well as overall outcomes in the USA. What is happening with COVID-19 in your part of the world?   

A basic explanation of macro's and why they matter to your diet?

Should you fear fruits in your diet?  Beneficial anti oxidants, or hidden sources of sugar & carbs?
