Why aren’t we wearing bras in this episode? Who cares why. We just don’t feel like it. We are here today with no expectations, just our real selves and our real problems. We’re chatting it out, because Kelsea has been knees deep in poop and needs a reminder that there are other people on the planet. In this episode Kelsea ponders the absurdities and contradictions of motherhood, the importance of setting the tone for herself at bedtime, and reveals what’s been missing in her relationships. Rachael shares her secret on how to walk while working, and admits that she wants to be a sauna person. So get out your pens and take a sip of water. We’ll tell you why in this episode. Oh! And there’s a movie quote challenge you won’t want to miss. The winner gets a CVG gift card!

Is your gut compromised? No worries! We brought Liz Roman, famously known as The Poop Queen, to the podcast because her dedication to uncovering and addressing the root causes of digestive disorders, hormonal imbalances, autoimmune challenges, and metabolic health issues is unmatched.

In today’s episode, Liz and Rachael get into: what to do when you’ve tried everything and your doctor isn’t listening; what diet culture is actually doing to your gut; and how to maintain muscle growth even when your digestive system is going sideways.  Want to know what supplement Liz wouldn’t go without? And if you are thinking of checking your gut biome, do you know where to begin? We’ve got you. Give your gut the attention it deserves, starting with this episode.

We love Dr. Rachele Pojednic so much we had to have her back! In her last episode we took a deep dive into cryotherapy, but as an exercise scientist her expertise goes well beyond cryo. She is the CEO and Founder of Strong Process Education and the Director of Scientific Research at Restore Hyperwellness. Her current research examines nutrition, supplementation and physical activity interventions on muscle physiology, performance and recovery. 

She’s not only doing some amazing research, she’s bridging the gap between socials and science and making it relatable. She focuses on women’s health 🙌 because there is such a tremendous omission in the data and because we are different than men! In this episode, Rachael and Rachele get into cycle syncing, how to reverse muscle loss at age 30, supplements, cellulite, fitness post menopause, metabolism, sarcopenia, and hormone replacement therapy. Join us to hear the science but also, why women are so freaking awesome!

Does exercise make you feel happy? How does sitting all day make you feel? These seem like easy questions to answer. But let’s face it, even with our standing desks, our modern lifestyle makes it really easy to be sedentary more often than we’d like. We invited David Raichlen, a Biological Anthropologist whose fascinating research on how human evolution has shaped our need for physical activity to the podcast to really uncover how all this sitting is impacting our health, especially our brains. 

David has some great advice on how to grow your brain at any age and how to keep moving even when every convenience of our lifetime gives you the opportunity to just do nothing instead. Don’t let your evolved drive to conserve energy fool you. Exercise is the magic pill that will benefit every part of your physiological system. And it doesn’t have to be complicated. Whatever activity suits you, do that. Because the best exercise for physical and cognitive health is the one you will do.

(00:01:07) Welcome David Raichlen, Biological Anthropologist to the podcast.

(00:05:58) Is the happy feeling that comes with exercise an evolutionary survival mechanism?

(00:10:33) Can humans actually grow their brains at any age?

(00:15:40) Will the brain shrink without exercise? And can exercise lessen the risk of developing dementia or Alzheimer's? 

(00:22:40) How much less we are moving in today’s world and a look at the Hadza.

(00:25:57) Has the brain adapted to a sedentary lifestyle?

(00:30:15) Will weight loss drugs decrease motivation for movement?

(00:35:50) The benefits of exercising in green spaces and simplifying movement.

(00:39:07) The biggest health outcomes and impressive gains statistics.

(00:47:57) Does the kind of exercise we are doing matter when it comes to brain health?

(00:55:33) Is working out with somebody a bigger bang for your buck when it comes to brain health?

(00:58:00) Best food to improve brain function. It’s a long game of daily decisions.

(01:02:24) Should we sacrifice sleep for exercise?

We’ve had some amazing guests on the podcast joining Rachael every week 🙌 But no one compares to you Kelsea! ♥️ If you haven’t heard, Kelsea has been off giving birth. And she has quite the story to tell! Get your popcorn and settle in because this one will rival anything on Netflix. Her story’s what you might call a dramedy with plenty of laughter…and poop! 

Kelsea went into this adventure so strong. Want to know if it was harder than she thought? Like many of us, she was given a deadline to give birth. How rude, right? Did she make it? Want to know what she’s doing now besides concentrating on keeping her organs in her body during a workout and squeezing out milk? Want to know if she ate her placenta? Yeah, it gets weird. There’s no holding back in this episode. Also tune in for a chance to see TTSL’s youngest (and cutest) guest to ever make an appearance.👶

(00:00:00) Welcome back Kelsea!!!!!!

(00:08:31) Rachael asks Kelsea if giving birth was harder, easier or exactly how she imagined it.

(00:14:20) Why was Kelsea red flagging herself?

(00:19:30) Kelsea’s birth story started off dramatically. Surprised? 

(00:23:41) Meet Kobi!

(00:24:30) All the things Kelsea did to induce labor. 

(00:34:09) Did Kelsea have a “natural birth”? 

(00:41:54) Being strong was a game changer

(00:45:06) If it doesn’t go as planned, it’s OK!

(00:50:53) Trying to work out when it feels like your organs may fall out of your body.

(00:59:23) Kelsea realizes the role poop now plays in her life.

We know you are mindful of what is going in your body but have you thought about when it goes in? And what’s your most important meal of the day? We invited Dr. Courtney Peterson, a leading expert on intermittent fasting (IF) to the podcast to discuss time-restricted eating (TRE), a popular form of IF.  She explains the health benefits of TRE, including weight loss, and how it rejuvenates your body and potentially extends your lifespan. You know we aren’t fans of fad diets. In this episode, discover the science behind TRE and how it influences circadian rhythm, metabolism, hormones, blood sugar, and blood pressure levels. Dr. Peterson also addresses common questions around breakfast, weight loss drugs, ideal eating windows, and muscle mass, and she has recommendations for you!

(00:01:15) Welcome Dr. Courtney Peterson, internationally recognized researcher in the field of intermittent fasting to the podcast.

(00:05:30) Why Dr. Peterson has dedicated her career to the study of how humans metabolize food.

(00:08:10) We aren’t fans of fad diets. IF explained and what makes time-restricted eating different from a fad diet. 

(00:12:34) A closer look at TRE: the most popular approach to IF..

(00:13:36) Study findings on metabolism, calorie restriction, life extension and weight loss.

(00:18:00) Why people lose weight eating in an 8 hour window and a comparison to weight loss drugs.

(00:21:24) IF doesn’t magically help you burn calories.

(00:29:14) A look at early TRE, circadian rhythm and the most important meal of the day.

(00:37:15) How eating early can help with fertility and what to do if you can’t eat early in the day. 

(00:44:20) Why what you eat matters more than when and who should NOT fast. 

(00:48:32) Does IF have an effect on muscle mass, which is also a key to longevity.

(00:56:20) Is it possible to sustain IF? There’s no one size fits all.

Today we welcome Dr. Laura Koniver back to the podcast! In her previous episode, Laura introduces grounding and its potential benefits. In this episode Rachael and Laura get into the proven health benefits of grounding, including its impact on full body inflammation, sleep and cortisol levels. Ever heard of “inflammaging”? Laura’s explanation is not one to be forgotten.

Rachael and Laura also delve into EMFs, electrosensitivity, and the effects that our every day appliances have on our health. Ever wondered if your devices are harmful to you? Listen to an expert’s views on the potential effects that the man made electrical fields we come into contact with on a daily basis have on us. Want to hear why she disagrees with the FDA when it comes to cellphones? Tune in!

(00:01:01) Welcome Laura back to the podcast

(00:05:49) What grounding does for inflammation and healthy aging.

(00:08:04) A reminder of what we need to do to get grounded and how inflammation is tied to aging.

(00:13:19) The health benefits grounding can bring to sleep.

(00:17:17) We are overcomplicating things. Anything is better than nothing.

(00:24:10) If we want the 30% reduction in inflammation, how long do we ground for?

(00:28:00) Grounding studies past and future

(00:33:00) Grounding and EMFs, do they cancel each other out?

(00:37:33) EMFs explained, and why grounding doesn’t protect you from them.

(00:46:15) Are our devices harmful to us? 

(00:52:10) Advice and reasonable strategies to protect your kids 

(01:00:27) When it comes to EMFs, should we remove, reduce or shield?
