The Womens Wellness Show

Leo is joined by Ash Grossman of The Training Stimulus, who specialises in working with athletes on a biomechanical level in order to improve performance.

Ash talks about the methodologies behind optimising mechanics and anatomy, why he found his way into coaching and the personal challenges it solved, and why turning fitness into a game might be counterproductive to people in search of wellness.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Especially in the fitness industry, when new ideas are established, the tendency is to take it to the extreme, which gamifies the process due to social media and the need for oneupmanship. 
• Winning and competing are very different goals. If you're trying to be as strong as possible, there will be an inflection point where your health and longevity and negatively affected.
• When we injure ourselves it is simply because the tolerance of our tissues has been exceeded. We have asked too much of one specific structure. The situations when this happens are when the muscle has been ill-prepared for the demands placed upon it.
• We must not assume our fitness state based upon headlines or what we consume. Our personal levels of wellbeing are unique to us, and do not depend on whether or not we eat carbs or get eight hours of sleep per night.

BEST MOMENTS

'I got into coaching to basically solve my own problem'

'Talk to the body'

'Now that fitness has become a sport, it's become a very confusing space'

'Olympians are not the pinnacle of health. They're the pinnacle of athleticism and performance'

ABOUT THE HOST

Leo is a fitness professional and nutritionist who’s ended up specializing in female health by chance after seeing female clients struggle to get the same results he quickly realized you can’t train and diet women like they are just smaller men!

Leo is joined by Elizabeth Cowper, the founder of Ludo, which is pioneering the provision of tech for inclusion.

Elizabeth talks about how she balances her career success and why compromise matters when you're forging a career path, why women do find it more difficult to establish themselves in the world of business, and how we can take better care of our people.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Having it all is a myth. You have to make compromises and that's hard at times. It's about setting priorities and achieving a successful balance.
• The further on in your career you get, you sometimes need to be there more. This is true of the junior stage, too. This is true for everyone, but there is usually more pressure on women due to the pay gap and need for visibility.
• Women worry more when they are not progressing fast, meaning they can overcompensate, usually at the expense of their personal lives and needs.
• It's vital that we offer everyone, regardless of gender, a place where they can escape and relax. Giving people that window of peace can serve to revitalise someone when they need it most. But most importantly, we must normalise the use of these spaces.

BEST MOMENTS

'I'm looking at the intersection between wellbeing and inclusion'

'My learning over the years was just knowing where to make the choices on what to compromise on'

'Asking yourself those questions can really ground you into what matters'

'This is not just about women'

Leo is joined by Didi Ferrari, the Head Of Nutrition at Marchon, who discusses her unorthodox route into health and wellbeing, the role she's settled into at Marchon and why it means so much, and how she approaches personalised nutrition in order to make sure that people eat happier and live well.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Never be afraid to switch gears in life when you feel unfulfilled. It's a positive thing to be able to recognise when you're unhappy and move on to something different.
• Wellbeing has always been a very dry subject and has been tailored to the masses, when in actual fact it's a granular process with no one-size-fits-all approach that will work for all people.
• The process of beginning a nutritional journey is look within - begin with how they talk to themselves. Look at the ways in which they feed themselves and what they choose to consume.
• Wellbeing is not just about the food we eat, it's also about the life we see and take in. Surrounding ourselves with positive influences will make us feel fundamentally better.

BEST MOMENTS

'I chose that opportunity to redirect my life'

'It's exciting to feel people's braveness'

'Food is a mirror image of how you treat yourself and think about yourself'

'We're not a slow-paced brand. We have such ambition'

In today's episode of the Women's Wellness Show, Leo interviews Luce Grover, a diversity and inclusion specialist.

Luce talks about what inclusion really means, why it matters so much, and how it can fundamentally improve not just the culture of a workplace, but also the levels of success and productivity.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Diversity and inclusion looks different to every business - each has a different idea of what it means to them.
• The aim of inclusion is to create a space where everyone can show up as their authentic self, because this promotes productivity as well as engendering equality at a grassroots level.
• Companies realise that investing in inclusion may cost money and use this as a way to push back against bringing the concept into the fold, especially as it may be difficult to quantify the success.
• Businesses often have processes and systems in place for a longstanding period of time, and are reluctant to change the way they work. This is one of the biggest stumbling blocks when it comes to implementing change, but it can be overcome with understanding on both sides.

BEST MOMENTS

'It's about supporting client to ensure that they have a workspace and workforce that is diverse and inclusive'

'There are many sectors that are male dominated and have massive pay gaps'

'If you're the person at the top, where are you putting your investment?'

'Education is the key to unlocking the unknown'

In this episode, Leo is joined by Emilia Thompson, one of the industry's leading experts, who alongside her team of coaches, works with people on their relationship with food, their body image, and their health and fitness goals.

Emilia talks about her pioneering work, why we should challenge the accepted wisdom when it comes to our relationship with food, and her inspiring personal journey through fitness and wellbeing.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Women in particular are often pressured to be as thin as possible, but this doesn't necessarily suit every body type.
• We must recognise that our relationship with food, and the disorders that may spring from it, are often caused by our needing to numb a feeling that hurts. When we recognise and diagnose them, we can begin a more positive path.
• We have habit loops in the brain that serve to soothe and regulate us. If we notice these parts of ourselves and listen to them, we exponentially increase the healing effects they provide.
• In order to promote trust with those who seek you out, you have to be congruent and authentic - you have to know your values and show up in them whatever you're doing.

BEST MOMENTS

'I delved into mindfulness and meditation'

'We often use coping mechanisms to numb our feelings'

'Instead of pushing things away, it's about opening and bringing everything in'

'Health is a flourishing model'

Welcome to The Women's Wellness Show, where we strive to connect the realms of female health, finance, and medicine. Our mission is to address the gender health gap by promoting education, empowerment, and awareness.

If you're a woman seeking to deepen your understanding of your body's unique physiology and discover how to collaborate with it rather than oppose it, or if you're a fitness professional committed to providing specialized care for your female clients instead of treating them as miniature versions of men, then this is the podcast for you. Join us as we explore a world of knowledge tailored to women's well-being.

ABOUT THE HOST

Witnessing the challenges faced by his female clients in achieving their desired results, he quickly realized that women cannot be trained and nourished the same way as men. This realization ignited Leo's passion for understanding the intricate gender differences that impact overall health, well-being, and workplace issues.
