The Body Project Podcast

Today on the best fitness podcast, The Body Project Podcast, I am looking forward to what's ahead for the podcast and How To Feel Good During COVID as we are trying to navigate a new normal.

So much has shifted in the last few years! I have grown as a brand and as a business offering transformative programs that are truly shifting the way people feel about themselves, showing people how to lose fat fast in a real, sustainable way (no gimmicks) and how to be mindful and improve their positive outlook and mindset. The opportunity is endless when you invest in yourself and looking at our most recent PROJECT YOU program, the participants were able to dig deep and alter the trajectory of where they were going during this uncertain time.

Our health is our wealth, and that is more evident now than every before! And as such I think that we need to take responsibility for ourselves, and our health is a way that quantum shifts from what we were doing before. Meaning that in order to feel good during COVID, and as we move our of a global pandemic, we need to invest in our health, in our longterm wellbeing and all the pillars that make up a healthy ecosystem.

A healthy ecosystem, in my eyes, exists within the sphere of our community but starts with ourselves and our families. I believe that how you do anything is how you do everything, and if you are constantly struggling with your negative self-talk, if you struggle with self-confidence on who you are, this often seeps into how you honour your body through food and movement. And poor mindset doesn't always mean poor eating- it shows up as addiction or obsession, that from the outside, appears as healthy- but this side is as scarcity based, ground as much in fear of failure or in a place of needing and desperately trying to be good enough...

This is a whole other conversation.

This time since the announcement of the Global Pandemic, has been an unbelievable global pause where people have stopped, people are overwhelmed and hopefully this is a reset, a global detox and an elevation, an evolution of humanity- global conscious levitation.

My intention with the podcast at the time was to support the conversation of exactly where many of you were. In a place of overwhelm, uncertainty and perhaps even fear. The conversation shifted from only a fitness and optimization focus into a holistic approach to immune health and wellbeing during uncertainty.

I know that it has served SO many of you!

And it also helped me move through things like 100 episodes, my 40th birthday and celebrating 2 year of this podcast. I could not have done my business without you.

I have new ventures that I'm taking on that is enhancing my focus and elevating my business alignment with my mission of global impact. With this year, what has become important in optimizing is increasing access, being inclusive and being diverse in the conversation and the offering.

Yes, these are uncomfortable conversations. But fundamentally, fitness and movement professionals are trained in coaching their clients through times of discomfort. We actually request that our clients lean into the discomfort of movement, the discomfort of change.

And in this training and this knowing- I am putting my hand, pulling up and saying I am an Ally, I am here to get comfortable with uncomfortable conversations. I am here to be anti-racist and to promote inclusion, look at increasing accessibility to those in lower socioeconomic areas, how can we give access and diversity to those who typically don't have the financial means.

In September we will be diving deeper into this conversation in the Fitness Community in hopefully a transformative way.

May sure you stay tuned next week as we kick off our 4 Part Series that will look at How You Want to Come Out of COVID-19 and what you can do starting today!

Today on the best fitness podcast, The Body Project Podcast turns two years old!

I starting this podcast wanting to share how transformative fitness has been for me- not just physically, but fitness has been a powerful point of where I have been empowered to elevate all aspects of my life.

From that my podcast vision has grown to share the stories from the industries top fitness and movement professionals on how they support their clients to live their best lives from fitness as the access point.

I am humbled and grateful for all the support over the years- the tens of thousand of downloads and listeners to date that have shared their inspiring stories, struggle and triumphs.

I'm not completely clear the direction of the podcast for this year, but I do know that since the start of COVID-19, and the pause of the world to pay attention to more than health but equality, inclusion and accessibility, I am certain that health being our wealth and fitness empowering people is more relevant now than ever before.

Today, on the top fitness podcast, I interview Dr. Sajjad Fazel.

Dr. Sajjad Fazel is a public health researcher in the Cancer Epidemiology and Prevention Research Department at Alberta Health Services. He is also the research director for Knight's Cabin – an NGO assisting cancer survivors to adopt a healthy lifestyle. His research focuses on three main areas; health promotion and misinformation, cancer prevention, and tobacco control. Sajjad is currently working with a team of researchers across Canada studying Covid-19 misinformation. He has been featured in major news outlets including BBC, CBC, Voice of America and Global News Radio. Sajjad holds a Doctor of Pharmacy degree from Manipal University, India and a Master of Public Health from Western University, Canada.

This was a great episode asking how to systematically determine what information you should consume and how to alleviate fear and anxiety around this uncertain time.

HERE'S THE FIRST QUESTION TO ASK: Is this information true!

Far too often, people believe, share and get impacted by information that isn't event factual- and this is becoming a huge problem- especially for mental health around COVID and with minimizing the spread of the disease.

To find out more about Dr. Fazel and his work, you can find him on LinkedIn

There are heavy burdens being placed on so many right now.

I just wanted to share my thoughts on some of the upset surrounding continued restrictions as COVID is still impacting Canada.

I believe that we can shift our grief by becoming present to the opportunities of growth and learning, as well as the opportunities of boosting resiliency in our kids.

Today's episode is short but really my intention is so shed light on what else is possible and that we need to ask questions, different questions for a different time.

What questions do you have about this time and how you can better manage?
