One of the most heard statements people post online, and that I get asked about a lot, is; Diastasis Recti is a lifelong condition that you will always need to manage.
So in this episode I talk about why this is clearly ridiculous.

Also; Postpartum backpain is very common but that doesn't mean it's inevitable or can't be resolved. So that's what we're talking about for the other half of the podcast.

and, very briefly, why I don't think the type of diet you choose for weightloss matters that much and why I don't find it interesting. What works for you works for you.

This week I talk about "setting goals" and why I don't particularly care for the "SMART goal" thing.

I would argue that most people really don't need to set specific goals and that the specificity of the goal is actually one of the reasons they end up not achieving anything every year.

I also touch, once again, on "High Protein" snacks...you don't need them...honest.

This week I am talking about "good form".

You know the kinds of things you hear "When squatting your knees shouldn't go past your toes", "When doing a deadlift your back should never be rounding", "When doing a core exercise push your lower back into the floor" etc. etc.

Does it really matter that much? I argue that it's nowhere near as important as people make it out to be.

And I, of course, tell you what "good form" should actually look, and FEEL, like.

Playing us out today; "Honest" by CJ Oliver

After last week's part 1 where I covered Protein, creatine etc.  This week I'm tackling some of today's talked-about/hyped supplements and explain why it's crucial to approach them with a healthy dose of skepticism. Promising to clarify the role of trendy options like NAD, NAD+, and NMN,

Can boosting naturally declining NAD levels truly reverse aging? And should you trust wellness gurus who pivot from publishing to selling supplements with scant evidence?
With non-human studies forming the backbone of much of the current research, you'll hear why investing in healthy lifestyle habits like exercise and diet might be your best bet. I also call out the pattern of wellness figures capitalizing on fleeting trends, urging you to stay informed and cautious about what's genuinely effective for your health.

Link to the study I mentioned

In a 2 part episode I am discussing some of the supplements that you might have seen promoted online. 
Next week I'll cover NMN, NAD, CBD etc but this week I'm focusing on supplements much more common in the health and fitness world;

Protein, Creatine, Vitamins and some bladder supplements (like Jude).

Are they safe, even pre and postpartum?

Are they useful?

Are the more expensive ones really better than cheaper version?

Are there alternatives?

IOW, should YOU be taking them or are you better off saving your money.

I had a wonderful email from someone in Mexico asking me the, seemingly straightforward, "When will I know my diastasis is healed?" so in this episode I spend 30 minutes answering that very question.

The issue with this question is that diastasis recti has a specific definition (one that isn't wide enough, in my opinion) and therefore quite often women get told that their diastasis is "healed" when it actually really isn't.

And you can also have the situation where the diastasis (the gap) isn't actually much of an issue anymore but, technically, you still have it.

So today I'm clearing it all up, whether you're an athlete or not. Whether you're into hill walking or a pro-tennis player..all will be clear :)

This week I am joined by Dr Jessie Hehmeyer.

She is a functional medicine practitioner and the founder of Well Empowered.

We are talking everything Functional Medicine;

Why functional medicine gets a bad rep, how it works and how it should work.

Why a good practitioner does more than just order a barrage of tests and sell supplements.

The problem with the "quick fix" approach and why real improvement in your health often takes time.

How there is no miracle cure, and much, much more.

It's a great conversation and one that will no doubt leave you much better informed and, hopefully, inspired to take positive steps to improve your health.

You can find Dr Hehmeyer in all the usual places;

In this week's episode I have the pleasure of being joined by Dr Emilie Wilson.

Emilie is a Naturopathic doctor and, more importantly, she's also the author of  "POST: The Essential Guide to Creating Your Postpartum Self-Care Plan in Pregnancy" .

We are talking about the importance of planning for your postpartum life during your pregnancy.
As I've mentioned before; the more you plan for things going well, and things potentially not going great, the easier your postpartum life (and mental health) will be.

Emilie talks us through the things to focus on and one or two things that very often get overlooked.
We speak about Postpartum Depression and Anxiety and how preparing for everything early on can really help if you are unfortunate enough to be one of the many women who suffer from this.

Emilie also explains how to set up a good support network and how to bring the family in successfully.
As always when discussing these things we also talk about the gaps there are in the healthcare system, how it could be improved, and how to navigate your way through that yourself.

Her book is a tremendous reference work and you can download a FREE guide that actually helps you out a lot already here

You can find her in all the right places;

Instagram
Facebook

And definitely get that guide!!

Did you know that  overtraining/undereating and and the exercise/food balance can impact your menstrual cycle, bone health, and mental health?

Especially for women who's body has just gone through an intense, and often traumatic, experience like pregnancy and giving birth this can really have a huge impact on your health.
You're seemingly doing "everything right" yet feel like you're struggling all the time and even your menstrual cycle can get messed up.

RED-S (Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport) is much more common in postpartum women  than you might think and Allison Yamamoto has very kindly agreed  to come onto my little show to talk about this.

We talk about the causes of RED-S.
How society's pressures on women can cause women to, unknowingly, be sabotaging their own health.
How a "I have to do everything" approach is actually holding you back and impacting your health.
How a workaholic lifestyle, which most postpartum women have (when's the last time YOU had a break?) leads to issues
And, of course, we discuss the solution!

Allison is absolutely amazing and I have no doubt you'll be very happy that you listened to this episode.

You keep asking about postpartum backpain so we keep talking about it :)

This week I have the pleasure of being joined by David Jeter who is an awesome physical therapist. We're talking post-partum back-pain and the benefits of physical therapy and exercise generally.

We discuss many, many things including;

What is post-partum back pain and what causes it?
Is surgery THE solution?
Why is post-partum backpain soo often ignored by both the medical community and those suffering from it?
Why are people not aware just how effective physical therapy is to deal with back-pain?
How the PT community is doing a terrible job of promoting the benefits of exercise and is spending too much time selling cheap-tricks.
And how you can help yourself if you're suffering from any sort of muscle related pain.
