For the first 15 minutes, we have a chat about life-we get into talking about therapy, why Gillian is going to start seeing a therapist, and how to choose a therapist, and how social media will probably come up in her sessions! Olivia shares a big decision she has made in her life, to go back to school for a masters in female performance, and Holly is one big step closer to getting her spousal visa for the United States! After this check in with the three of us, we hop into a question and answer session with a few questions that we have received from our communities. @ 15:00 The first question is from Olivia, and it is a simple yet NOT easy one… How do you know what weights to use? She goes into the key steps to determining what the correct weight is and how to determine your RPE or ‘reps in reserve’ for an exercise. @32:00 Then we segue into a question from Holly’s community- How (if at all) should you modify your nutrition for injuries? Should you be eating less when you’re injured? We discuss the reasons why you should continue to be eating fairly ‘normally’ while you’re injured, the benefits of certain key nutrients and supplements, and why @46:00 And finally, you’ll hear a question from Gillian’s clients- Do you really need to be eating in the morning if you aren’t hungry? With the advent of such popular diets like intermittent fasting, the debate comes up again… is breakfast the most important meal of the day? Is coffee for breakfast really all you need? We talk about reasons why eating in the morning MIGHT be beneficial to you, even if you aren’t hungry, and reasons why you might not feel hungry even when your body needs nutrients. @ 1:04 Summary of the 3 questions and recap!
