Should you make dietary changes around the menstrual cycle?

In this episode, I dive into a topic that resonates with many of us and that is the art of stepping out of our comfort zone.

Today, I share with you my thoughts, experiences and how I face my fears head-on despite my initial self-reservation such as speaking to a large audience. I discuss some of my insights about getting too comfortable with the adrenaline rush from pushing oneself beyond perceived limits and my observations on how isolation influenced my mindset and narratives.

Look for something that scares you and acknowledge it! Sometimes, that is where we can find growth - just beyond the borders of our comfort zones,

A topic that I think a lot of people tend to undervalue or overvalue is deloading. Taking a break from training intensity or volume. 

Deloads are not magic, but they can be a great tool at the right time!

In this episode you'll learn:

• What is a deload?
• When I recommend having a break from or reducing training 
• Auto-regulation vs planned deloads
• Different options for deloading and methods I use  
• When to use diet breaks in combination with a deload

Have you heard about the EMS (Electrical Muscle Stimulation) Machine?

Apparently, according to some influencers, this machine is the "quickest way to burn glutes and back fat" and this could replace a 90-minute workout with just 20 minutes of EMS training.

In today's episode, I share my concerns about social media influencers promoting methods with misleading claims. I explain the difference between calling out misinformation and personally attacking someone.

Remember everyone! My intent is to address false information and not to label individuals as "bad". Noting inaccuracies online and expressing disagreement isn't bullying! It is important that we clarify misinformation.
