In this conversation, Amanda Thebe discusses her personal experience with perimenopause and the lack of information and support available to women. She highlights the controversy and debate surrounding menopause, particularly in the medical and fitness industries. Amanda shares her frustration with the outdated beliefs and dismissive attitudes she encountered from healthcare professionals. She emphasizes the importance of education and awareness about menopause and the need for better support and resources for women going through this transition. The conversation revolves around the misinformation and confusion surrounding menopause and hormone therapy. The lack of mandatory training for doctors and the absence of intergenerational conversations have created a knowledge gap. Women are left feeling lost and vulnerable, while some medical professionals and coaches take advantage of this situation. The conversation emphasizes the importance of supporting women through their menopause journey and providing accurate information. It also highlights the need to focus on lifestyle interventions, such as exercise and nutrition, alongside hormone therapy. The chapter titles could include 'The Knowledge Gap in Menopause Care', 'The Influence of Celebrity Doctors and Coaches', and 'The Importance of Supporting Women and Sticking to Basics'. In this part of the conversation, Amanda and Aram discuss how to shift the conversation around women in midlife and focus on how they feel and show up in the world, rather than their appearance. Amanda shares her personal experience of feeling unhappy with her body during perimenopause and how she took steps to redefine herself and prioritize her well-being. They also discuss the importance of accepting and adjusting to the changes that come with menopause, as well as the role of strength training in building confidence and feeling capable. Amanda provides resources for finding knowledgeable healthcare practitioners and emphasizes the importance of community and open conversations about menopause.

This week we have Joanna Eisele, a college professor with a Doctorate in Sociology and studies/teaches social inequality including racism, sexism, homophobia, etc. as well as a Crossfit Coach!  Aram blew up the internet this past week and had hundreds (nearly a thousand) comments/messages about how he shouldn't use certain terminology when referring to women.  You may be surprised when you hear the story, but this is a great conversation to have to create awareness around the way we talk and how people perceive it.  WIth this, you can decide if you want to change the way you talk or not.  Are we responsible for others feelings?  Do we care?  How can we be better?  Should we?  When should we?  Listen and maybe learn.

This is part 2 of our conversation with Ed Nissen.  Here is a little about what Ed does from his website:

 

I am an executive coach, but you may consider me a “Purpose Coach” because I specialize in empowering people to be the ultimate version of themselves by having a deepened sense of purpose, which allows us to carry out the most meaningful professional roles. I do this by simplifying the approach to life’s obstacles based on a model that teaches people how to respond to such obstacles efficiently and confidently. More specifically, this approach involves understanding your personality and optimizing the way you make meaning in your life. This will enable you to shift your focus to maximizing your potential in all aspects of your life.

I also happen to be a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), and my clinical experience gives me a unique perspective on the human experience. As I teach you my approach, not only will you become skilled in overcoming professional and personal challenges, you will refine yourself in ways that transform your life and enable you to reach your potential.

Michael Leavy is the producer of The Terrifier 1 & 2, with number 3 on the way.  The Terrifier 2 is breaking some box office records and has reports of audience members vomiting, passing out, and an ambulance being called to one theater.  Michael has an amazing story of following his passion at a young age and turning that into starting his own production company, Fuzz on the Lens, with his brother and friend.  Michael had the pleasure of being decapitated by Art the Clown in The Terrifier.  He may not track his macros, but he hurt Tom Cruise’s ego - you’ll have to listen to find out how!  It was a blast having this conversation with authentic east coast accents through and through.

This week, we go through 3 possible avatars that could be in varying positions, all with the assumption they may be undereating.  Some people say you should reverse diet, some say you shouldn't, we say it depends.  Are you at a low/healthy weight, train alot, but feel beat up and underfed?  Do you have a moderate/healthy weight, diet constantly, and don't know how to lose that 10-20 frustrating pounds?  Are you overweight/obese and feel like you don't eat that much to cause this?

Dennis is a former teacher and school administrator/principal who left the profession and founded Building Men.  Building Men is about creating a true masculine identity through group coaching, 1:1 coaching, and his podcast by the same name.  He teaches about character development and living a life of service, which are things that cannot be taken from an individual.  This is opposite of the common practice of many men which revolves around various accomplishments to create a sense of self/masculinity.  This conversation is not just for men to listen to, so don't miss it.  You can find Dennis at www.buildingmen.io and you can easily connect to him on instagram @building.men

This week we reiterate the importance of making it a lifestyle and how you have to simply submit to the long game.  Paige talks about her experience with training and helping people adopt this mentality.  What take years of work builds a foundation that is not easily taken away from you.  Once those years of work are put in, you look back and it seems quick.  The constant shortcuts take significantly longer than simply creating daily habits, no matter how hard it may seem at first.  You can connect with Paige on IG: @miss_yomo

Ryan is a Cannabis Coach.  What the hell is that?  He must just be stoner who knows nothing and uses his love of weed to try to make money off of people.  OR... he has studied, learned, and interacted with this medicine to get people to take the blinders off and get to the root of the issue.  Sometimes we have the blinds closed and can't see out the window and MAY need something to help us view things differently.  You will be shocked with this conversation and the things you will learn.  Please go to the links in his profile on IG to get registered for his breathwork class this week as well as find his links for his Highly Optimized programs and podcasts.  We will definitely be talking with him again - there is more to discuss:

Even though we start with some nonsense, it's important to have realistic goal setting.  What is your starting point?  What can/should you do to get going?  A lot of people have an athletic background, but now are starting from scratch.  This is a difficult mental process, but understanding the reality of your starting point is vital to success.

Don't panic in the first few seconds... It's not the final episode.  Do you find yourself labeling yourself too much?  

"I'm not a runner"

"This is who I am"

"I don't eat vegetables"

"I'm a failure"

Listen and hear about the power of self talk and how this is a much bigger issue that we give it credit.

A new lifter can be overwhelmed at how much they need to do, not realizing it's less than you may think and how setting a low bar can make huge progress.  **And they are not sponsored by Dick's Sporting Goods or Blender Bottle in case you make it to the end!
