How exactly do I rebuild and repair my gut so that I can poop daily!? Prebiotics! Although I wish there was a magic pill to get you pooping, it actually requires a little more work. Once you have tested your microbiome with a GI 360 or GI map,  we have a clear idea of what is going on in your gut and can start to heal with herbs, probiotics and prebiotics. By using the correct prebiotics we can feed the good bacteria, which are the key players in regular bowel movements! In todays episode we unpack how exactly to feed them!

Today I have the privilege of speaking to Sarah Conlan- Director of Strong Girls Club, Perth, a boutique personal training service with a holistic focus on women. 

Sarah has 6 years of industry experience and started her business as a small outdoor boot camp for women. She realised a great need for women to become strong and pain-free, so she focused on strength training over HIIT. 

During this time, Sarah competed in body building and powerlifting competitions. She has had endometriosis since the age of 16 and found that strength training was the solution to helping her feel incredible both physically and mentally.

In today's episode, we chat about:

• Strength training for women - why and how
• Who should strength train?
• Do we need to do cardio?
• The effects of HIIT, stress & cortisol- does this impact our training? 
• Endometriosis - what is it? How it impacts your life
