Muscle soreness, tendinitis, arthritis, and even nerve pain - if you’ve got pain somewhere in your body, you’re definitely not alone. In fact, the questions I get asked the most have to do with pain:

In this episode we’re going to cover the 4 most common types of pain you’re likely to experience in your strength and conditioning journey, how to address each one and how to avoid future pain. And while a single podcast will never take the place of a trained medical professional, I hope it might shed some light on what’s going when you feel pain and how you can work to reduce your pain in the future.

One of the often-repeated nutrition tips I give women all the time is: “If it’s a mealtime, eat. If it’s not a mealtime, don’t eat.” But what if, because of time, habit or lack of hunger, you’re just not a breakfast person?

Listener Tessa had this same question: “I struggle to eat in the mornings some days. I’m just not hungry until late morning and I feel sick if I force myself to eat. I’ve heard you say not to skip meals, but what should I do in this situation?”

In this quick episode, we’ll discuss why skipping breakfast can derail your nutrition for the whole day, the benefits of getting a jumpstart on your nutrition early and even breakfast ideas for the non-breakfast person.

Together we’ll discuss:
