295. Separated Abs (Diastasis Recti) Years Later: Exercises to Avoid Oct 20, 2023

Show notes

It’s no surprise that pregnancy does a number on our abs. But can you address those issues 5, 10 even 20 years later?

Listener Bobbi finds herself in this very situation: “So, I suspect that I still have some diastasis recti from years ago (my kids are in their early 20’s now). I have heard that there are certain exercises that people with diastasis recti should not do. What are those? I don’t want to make it worse.”

If you’ve had kids - whether 1 year ago or 20 years ago - this quick episode is for you.

In seven minutes we’ll define diastasis recti and tackle exercises that help heal it - and which ones to avoid!

294. Easy Ways to Improve Your BALANCE & Prevent Falls Oct 17, 2023

Show notes

Statistically, every second of every day an older adult (age 65+) suffers a fall in the U.S. I did the math for you - that’s 86,400 falls each day! That’s 31 million falls a year - and women are falling way more often than men.

But what if I told you it didn’t have to be that way.

Today is part two of a little mini-series, and I’m kind of doing these backwards. Last week we tackled steps you can take to make sure you don’t get severely injured if and when you fall. This week, you’re going to learn how to prevent falls from happening in the first place.

Tune in as I discuss:

Why falls happen - and why we’re more prone to them as we age.
The three specific areas to improve to help prevent falling.
Simple exercises to start now that will help keep you safely on your feet and on the go!

Don’t let yourself become a falling statistic! Grab a pen and get ready to learn how to stay safe and active as you age!

It’s one thing to have a nutrition plan in place when you’re home and in your routine. But what happens when you need to hit the road?

Listener Kathleen find herself in this very spot. “My husband and I are taking a road trip for about a week, and I wanted to know what your suggestions would be on packing healthy snacks while we’re driving, and also healthy snacks in the evening. We’ll be bringing a cooler. What would I pack on a road trip?”

I think we’ve all been there!

Take a listen while I break down how to transfer your usual eating strategy to a travel situation. And then grab a pen and jot down some easy road-trip foods that will keep you feeling good while traveling.
