Being Athletic in Perimenopause and Beyond

Tuesday, October 8, 2024 • Duration 35:41

Join Dr. Daniela Steyn and Tenille Hoogland for this Episode of the Health and Wellness Podcast. Tenille Hoogland's mission is to transform how female athletes experience sports and reach lifelong health and athletic excellence. Her athletic journey began as an Olympic hopeful in synchronized swimming. In her late 20s, she became a professional triathlete. On the surface, her athletic career looks stellar. She represented Canada at International Triathlon Union (ITU) Pan-American Championships, long course events and at IRONMAN World Championships several times, winning numerous titles along the way. However, the method to achieve success had a tremendous cost. She trained relentlessly, unknowingly developed disordered eating and lost her period for 5 years. This led to several injuries and significant hormone challenges. Mentally, she lost joy in sport and retired from triathlon in 2013. Her struggle to find health and her athletic self spanned several years; first, she overcame 2 years of fertility challenges, learnt how to move again without pain and then to move consistently with joy. It came through deep curiosity, education, and trial and error.

This journey led her to create the Mindset, Nutrition, Training, and Recovery Integrated Training System (MNTR-ITS), which she uses alongside her coaching practice. This accessible, step-by-step, evidence-based system empowers female athletes to establish a foundation of health for excellence, performance, and resilience. It works through the physiological life stages of the female athlete, from pre- to post-menopause.

Professionally, Tenille was a Senior Planner at the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games Federal Secretariat, managed numerous IRONMAN events, held a Management position at Triathlon Canada and was recognized by her national federation and Canadian Olympic Committee as a Future Sports Leader. Now, through her company, Tenille Hoogland Applied Athletics, Tenille coaches female athletes in perimenopause and beyond. She owns the Element Race Team, an amateur women’s cycling team whose mission is to get more women on the start lines at cycling events. Having given birth to two beautiful and healthy sons in her 40s, her purpose in sport now is to be fit for a big, long life full of play.

Wellness in the Workplace: How to Prevent Burnout

Thursday, October 3, 2024 • Duration 56:33

Join Dr. Daniela Steyn and special guest Rosana Fernandez in today’s discussion on preventing burnout in the workplace. Rosana Fernandez, a project manager with over 20 years of experience in various industries and international settings, shares valuable tips on maintaining balance and productivity. Certified in Applied Positive Psychology, Mindfulness, and Integrative Health and Nutrition, Rosana brings her behaviour change and growth mindset expertise to The FlipSide, offering insights on improving health and productivity.

In this episode, they discuss the importance of time management for well-being, emphasizing the need to assess daily routines and align activities with personal values. Understanding our relationship with time and being intentional with it is crucial for starting any wellness plan.

The conversation also covers the science of sleep, offering free practices to optimize it. They discuss how sleep deprivation can lead to weight gain, the effects of caffeine and alcohol on sleep, and the importance of light exposure for sleep regulation. Additionally, they provide solutions for those who wake up at 3 AM with an active mind.

Finally, they introduce the “Closing Routine” for stress management. This practice involves logging pending tasks to reduce mental noise and includes self-regulating practices to help release the brain from holding onto unfinished tasks. This routine effectively reduces stress and prevents it from becoming chronic, which can affect sleep and overall health.

Don’t miss this opportunity to learn practical tips and strategies for enhancing your well-being and preventing burnout at work.

Unlocking the Power of Protein with Dr. Ashley White

Tuesday, May 7, 2024 • Duration 16:17

In this enlightening conversation, Dr. Daniela Steyn and Dr. Ashley White delve into the critical role of protein in maintaining optimal health. By supporting muscle growth, boosting metabolism, aiding in weight management, and facilitating tissue repair, protein plays a vital role in overall vitality.

Dr. Daniela Steyn, Founder and CEO of Wellness MD, Associate Professor at McMaster University and a Hospitalist Doctor at Oakville Hospital, brings a wealth of expertise. She completed her medical training in South Africa and furthered her education at the College of Family Physicians in Canada, the American Board of Lifestyle Medicine, and Harvard University. Dr. Steyn’s mission is to empower individuals to live their best lives through healthy lifestyle choices and food as medicine. You can find more about Dr. Steyn and Wellness MD by sending us an email at info@wellnessmdhealth.com or by visiting the Wellness MD website here: https://www.wellnessmdhealth.com/

Dr. Ashley White, an obesity medicine specialist, takes a unique approach called “The Shift.” Combining behavioural, medical, and nutritional interventions, she helps patients achieve sustainable weight loss. Dr. White’s qualifications include additional training in coaching, clinical hypnosis, addiction, and therapy. You can learn more about her clinic, The Shift Weight Loss Clinic, and her work here: https://www.theshift.clinic/clinic

During their discussion, the doctors address the crucial question: How much protein should one consume? While individual needs vary based on factors like age, activity level, and health status, a general guideline is to aim for approximately 1.2-1.6 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight. However, Drs. Steyn and White emphasize that personalized recommendations are essential. Consulting a healthcare professional ensures that protein intake aligns with specific health goals.

But how much protein is too much? Excessive protein consumption can strain the kidneys and potentially lead to health issues. It’s crucial to strike a balance. Remember, protein isn’t just a macronutrient—it’s a cornerstone of well-being. So, whether you’re an athlete, a busy professional, or simply someone striving for optimal health, prioritize protein in your diet and consult experts like Dr. Steyn and Dr. White for personalized guidance.

Let's Talk About Weight Loss With Dr. Doriana Parkin

Wednesday, February 21, 2024 • Duration 41:45

What do you truly want in life? To be strong, healthy, and capable of not just caring for yourself but also for those around you, right?

This week, I had an eye-opening conversation with the incredible Dr. Doriana Parkin. We discussed the essence of weight loss and its connection to self-care, debunking the myth that it's all about spa days and pampering (though those are lovely too).

Dr. Doriana Parkin is a working mom of 3 and knows what it feels like to be overwhelmed & exhausted. To have no time for yourself. To be too busy to fit exercise into her day when juggling work, extracurricular activities, cooking and taking care of family members.

She struggled with weight and body issues as a teen, dieting and hating how she looked until she realized that she needed to eat in a way that wasn't overly restrictive, and that her self worth wasn't related to her weight.

We talked about two common misconceptions when it comes to weight loss. One is that weight loss starts in the gym. It doesn't, weight loss starts in the kitchen! The second is that in order to lose weight, you have to starve yourself. You don't! what you need to learn is how to eat more food volume for fewer calories.

For 15 years in the medical field, Dr. Doriana counselled patients on how to make healthy decisions, and now she's focused on helping as many busy women as possible take back control of their lives and health.

Her goal is to give women the empowerment they’ve been lacking so they feel confident making food choices, figuring out how to easily incorporate fitness and self-care into their daily life.
