What is the main topic discussed in this episode?

Shannon Maldonado 0:00
I founded Ornot in 2013. I think the best thing about Shopify is that we can practice business without technical skills.

Why are women still given bad health advice?

Shannon Maldonado 0:09
We can manage the company's background systems and front-end and sell online. If Shopify was a bicycle equipment, it would be a bicycle itself.

Is being skinny actually healthy?

Shannon Maldonado 0:20
That way things are handled and our business is handled in Shopify. Start a free trial at shopify.com website.
Stephanie Estima 0:28
I want women to stop being losers. And so I'm on a mission to really undo the genuinely terrible advice that most women have been given as it concerns their health and their fitness. So we're going to talk through some actionable strategies on how to build a body that has curves, more of an hourglass figure. But Stephen, if I can be very honest with you,

How can women identify their health archetype?

Stephanie Estima 0:48
I'm pissed off because we've been sold a lie that our worth is the number on the scale. And I've seen tens of thousands of patients over my 20-year tenure. And right now, a lot of online dialogue is, I want to be toned. I want to have the Pilates body. Be as small as possible. So this is where I get a little fired up because I also have personal experience struggling with my own weight and my own worth. I was trying to become what I thought was the right thing. And I had massive problems afterwards. So I am going to be very transparent and honest with you. The pursuit of skinny is a bad thing with devastating consequences. Like you're going to end up with bone disease like osteoporosis.
Steven Bartlett 1:28
So, there's lots of things on the desk here in front of us that I'd love to go through. We've got these five fitness myths.
Stephanie Estima 1:34
Yes, so one of them, for example, is a lot of women are scared to consume more carbohydrates because they think it's going to make them fat.

Will lifting weights make women bulky?

Stephanie Estima 1:40
But we need carbohydrates for our mood, our sleep, even performance at the gym. And then there's also women are scared that if they're lifting heavy weights, that they're going to start looking like a bodybuilder.

Is fasting safe for women?

Stephanie Estima 1:52
But that's almost impossible. 97 to 98% of women don't have the hormonal environment to bulk.
Steven Bartlett 1:58
And then we've also got these archetypes here.
Stephanie Estima 2:01
So there's four archetypes that women identify themselves in their fitness journey. And the most common woman that I see, skinny fat Sophie. And we will talk about what this means.

What muscle groups should women prioritize in training?

Steven Bartlett 2:09
So let's talk about what the women listening should understand about hormones. How do you think about fasting in your menstrual cycle? What are the specific issues that mothers face as it relates to fitness? I mean, there's lots of things that I'd love to talk about.
Stephanie Estima 2:20
100%. That makes me so excited.
Steven Bartlett 2:25

Why is it you do what you do? Like, ultimately, what is it you're trying to change in the world?

What supplements should women consider taking?

Steven Bartlett 3:06
Or what impact are you trying to have? And who are you trying to have it for?
Stephanie Estima 3:09
Well, I am on a mission to really undo the genuinely terrible advice that most women have been given as it concerns their health and their fitness. And what I mean by that is... For the vast majority of health and fitness goals for women, it's all about becoming smaller. It's about becoming skinnier. It's about losing weight. It's about dropping a dress size. Stephen, if I can be very honest with you, I want women to stop being losers. I want them to stop trying to lose all the time. And instead, what I would love for them to do is to shift their focus from losing and focusing more on what they have to gain. So how much muscle can they gain? How much bone density can they gain? How much connective tissue capacity from their joints, their tendons, their ligaments can they gain?
