Fat Loss Prerequisites (according to me) Apr 05, 2023

Show notes

Do you have what it takes to be a fat loss client of mine?

I think we've got the whole thing backwards. Weight loss, fat loss, + aesthetic changes are the primary entry points into fitness- which is great because fitness is a vital ingredient to health, wellness, and quality of life. But in my opinion, fat loss should be the last and final step of an otherwise long journey.

In today's episode, I walk us through what my personal and professional pre-reqs of intentional fat loss are.

How the Industrial Revolution "factorized" the birthing process
Any other orthopedic injury gets a higher standard of care than giving birth
Why c-section rates rise before lunchtime, holidays, and hopsital shift changes

The USA has one of the highest maternal mortality rates in the world
The USA is one of the only countries in the world that doesn't have a Federal Parental leave policy
how the medical system convinces pregnant women they're disabled
The lifelong implications of this on women's health + quality of life + how that intersects with diet culture, bounce back culture and beyond
