The Pilates Goddess Podcast

Welcome back for Part 2 of my discussion with Dr. Sam Slattery, author of The Body Cooperative. Hubby & I have know Dr. Sam fr over a decade. He was a big part of our medical team when we lived in Turks & Caicos, and has always been a science-based, no nonsense, and very caring kind of guy.

We continue our talk about the essential elements of human health, weight, nutrition, exercise, stress, and sleep. In this episode, we talk a bit more about exercise, the problems with sugar, how we've been lied to about health and wellness, and why our gut biome is so important.

I think you'll find that his approach makes a lot of sense, and is easy to implement.

Bio:

Dr. Sam Slattery is a highly respected and trusted physician with over 40 years experience on the front line of medical care. A practical and pragmatic doctor, he is recognized for translating his extensive knowledge into a caring and empathetic approach to helping individuals achieve their best health.

Trained in medicine and surgery at St Thomas’s Hospital, London, qualifying in 1984, Dr. Sam has a fundamental belief that all things are connected and that the human body must be viewed form the perspective of an ecosystem, a collective rather than separate parts and systems. The result of this line of thinking made him one of the earlier proponents of the biopsychosocial medical model.

His approach is supported by the science of psychoneuroimmunology, and his knowledge of immunology, neurology and psychology is extensive. These disciplines are all connected in the gut and through the gut-brain access. His new book, The Body Cooperative presents a novel and ground breaking approach to managing health.

Most recently he has been working in the NHS as an Associate Specialist in Gastroenterology with a specific interest in functional bowel disorders including functional chest pain and globus.

Not only has he had an interesting career in medicine working across a broad range of specialities and championing functional and wholistic approaches to the care of patients, but he is also an experienced large and small boat sailor and pilot flying many different aircraft including jets and gliders. In addition to his medical degree, he holds Masters degrees in Aviation Safety Systems and Human Factors, and Gastroenterology and Nutrition.

Catching up with my dear friend Sunni Almond, founder of Going More Joe®, is always a treat! I've taught Sunni, taught with and for Sunni, and always find her to be funny, refreshing, and very real.

Sunni has been teaching Pilates for over 20 years, and she stays a student studying with the most gifted and solidly trained classical Pilates teachers. She created Going More Joe®, an educational resource for Pilates teachers on FB, and she holds educational workshops to share the Pilates wealth.

Sunni loves and rescues giant breed dogs, she has 3 grandkids that own her heart, and has a passion for painting on anything from walls (murals) to furniture (decorative stuff), and yes, canvases also.

She's done everything from actress/dancer & mime to stand-up comedy, was on the Executive Board of Wishes For Children for 11 years, and survived Save Your Life Sundays (what she called skydiving with her husband a long while back).

Sunni is currently a Mentor with Master Pilates Teacher Clare Dunphy's Elevate program.

***If you'd like a free copy of Sunni's little manual, The Nuts & Bolts of Classical Pilates, just shoot her an email at [email protected] mentioning this podcast, and she'll send you a link!***

I love to talk with other fitness and wellness professionals who also help women who are going through menopause, and my friend Wendy Kleinke is one of those people.

This conversation that we had last year is so full of fabulous information, that I'm sharing with you again here on the podcast.

We're talking all things menopause - exercise, recovery, nutrition, mindset, hormones - including a discussion about supplements and when they might be useful.

Love Wendy like I do? Reach out to her at [email protected]

Over the past decade, too many talented teachers in the Pilates industry have stopped teaching because of burn-out, debilitating stress, imposter syndrome, and lack of confidence.

Luckily, there are Pilates teachers like Tania Huddart, who are committed to helping Pilates teachers find their unique voice within our industry so we can keep helping people to make positive changes in their lives through movement.

Tania is the author of Teach Pilates with Confidence (which is available on Kindle Unlimited and in paperback - https://amzn.to/3RNTGKI) and the force behind the Teach Pilates with Confidence monthly membership program. She owns Hearts & Bones Pilates in New Zealand, and is a beacon of light in our often dark industry. Just our discussion about Core Values will help you move forward!

Download Tania's Free Teach Pilates with Confidence Starter Kit:
Having confidence in yourself will help your clients have confidence in you too. Confidence is a skill you can learn, and need to practice until it becomes a part of you. You also need to get clear on why you teach Pilates.

So many people seek out Pilates to help with lower back pain.

***Make sure you see a medical professional to make sure you are cleared to exercise! If you're not sure why your back hurts, don't expect your Pilates teacher to figure that out. It's not in our scope of practice.***

I outline spine anatomy, review the abdominal muscles and what they do, discuss some common causes of lower back pain, why "tech neck" and sitting can lead to lower back pain, and explain the basics of feeling your best supported spine position.

As Romana Kryzanowska (student of Joe Pilates) used to say, "Bad back, keep flat!"

So many Fitness trainers, Pilates teachers, and yoga teachers believe that we need to do new and varied movements all the time.

In fact, I've heard people complain about the basics, calling them boring and questioning their use and effectiveness.

I'm a big believer in the power of basic exercises that strengthen us for the things we need to do in our every day lives.

You may notice that I have very distinct opinions about how to teach Pilates, and especially regarding language and cues.

The three cues I outline in this episode are useless, confusing, and ultimately can harm your clients. Stay away!

If you're a Pilates client, avoid teachers who consistently use these cues no matter how you are feeling.

There are several considerations when you're choosing a Pilates teacher, and most of them start with you!

In this episode I outline the major questions you need to answer for yourself about why you're seeking out Pilates, and how to know if your Pilates teacher is the best one for you!

After all, a first session is like a blind date, except you're paying for the service.
