In episode 9, I talked about how to get started from scratch to accomplish running a half marathon. We discussed some necessary things like decent gear, building a decent base and how to choose a race!

In episode 8, I talk about the importance of your basal body temperature chart in regards to all aspects of women's health including hormonal health and fertility. I also discuss how exactly to do it and the best methods regarding basal body temperature

In episode 7, I talk about outdated food rules that still exist, but shouldn't including to eat low fat, eat mini-meals, and eating breakfast. I also discussed food rules we actually should live by daily.

I introduced the nutrition concept of carb cycling. In simple terms, this is when we alternate the amount of carbohydrates we consume on a weekly basis and hopefully with the type of workout we are completing that day.

When we strength train, it is beneficial to eat carbohydrates because that refills our glycogen stores, helps with muscle recovery, gives us energy and builds lean muscle.

On days when we do more cardio, sprints, or high intensity interval training (HIIT), it is beneficial to eat low carb so your body draws from fat storage for fuel and that's when we lean out and lose fat.

I was never a runner in my earlier years. I didn't think I had what it took to be a runner and thought I couldn't train to be one.

I eventually challenged that thought (very slowly) and started running short distances until I eventually realized that I could run and could complete the marathon.
