S10 EP17: Why Don’t You Trust Yourself? We Thought We Should Ask You Again Jun 18, 2024

Show notes

Have you ever joked about not trusting yourself? Most of us have when confronted with something we told ourselves we wouldn’t do. This episode was originally aired in 2022 and it’s worth revisiting because breaking promises we make with ourselves feels bad and the summer can be especially challenging when it comes to showing up for yourself. So let’s take another look at why we don’t trust ourselves in the first place, and how a lack of confidence can give away your power. Listen for tips on how to set sustainable goals, engage in positive self-talk, and be less affected by the things people around you say. It may not happen overnight and that’s ok. Setting an intention and following through doesn’t always turn out the way you planned. That’s ok too! Start TODAY on rebuilding that trust. We believe in you!

S10 EP14: Bodybuilding: The Good, the Bad, and the Functional May 28, 2024

Show notes

In today's episode we talk about traditional bodybuilding, the go-to training for aesthetic based changes in body composition. Yes, we have qualms with the methodology, with the dieting, and with the huge focus on body fat that can lead to disordered body image & eating habits.. BUT!

We aren’t here to bash bodybuilding. There's some GREAT stuff about it!: The tempo…slowing it down is invaluable for all things! The focus on form with slow and deliberate movements..and isolation has benefits and creates a mind-muscle connection. And the PUMP! The pump is real! When you take the good from bodybuilding and leave out the bad (like 6 inch heels) you are left with functional bodybuilding. And that’s what we are talking about! You can get the aesthetic without the injury. We’ve done the lifting and dropping for you and want to tell you about our new functional TTSL bodybuilding cycle. It’s for everyone, yes YOU.

S10 EP13: Biohacking Part 2: Red Light Therapy May 21, 2024

Show notes

Welcome back to Biohacking! In today's episode, Kelsea and Rachael take a look into the "therapeutic window" of the Electromagnetic Spectrum and the benefits of light therapy. We know that different wavelengths of light have different therapeutic effects on the body, and as the wavelength increases, the deeper the light penetrates. Today, Kelsea and Rachael ride the waves of visible and invisible light on the spectrum to explore the effects light waves have on our skin tissue, circulatory system, peripheral nervous system, hair follicles, muscles, joints, bones and even the brain.

In this episode, Kelsea and Rachael review 3 "very hot" light therapy biohacking products in the market today: a Red Light Face Mask by Bon Charge, a HeatPod Sauna Blanket by Hydragun, and a 7 Color LED Light Therapy Wand by Fastaid. Tune in to hear about their experience with these products. Please note: Rachael and Kelsea are not scientists or professionals in the areas of light therapy.

S10 EP12: Chemicals in YOUR Food that May Be Banned Soon May 14, 2024

Show notes

Hot off the press: Gatorade could be banned in multiple states if its recipe isn't changed! Hold the phone! But isn’t gatorade what you give your kid after a game because you know they’ll drink it? It’s way more fun than water and it has electrolytes! Right? Ok maybe you kinda knew that something was up with it and anything that color is kinda SUS. And sometimes it’s easier to look the other way and just live, without worrying about every darn thing. In this episode, we talk about Gatorade and a number of other products on the shelf at your grocery store that have additives and preservatives that are dangerous to consume and linked to cancer, hyperactivity, and DNA mutations. Other countries have banned these substances. Why haven’t we? No need to panic. Awareness is the key here. In this episode Kelsea and Rachael list the offenders and how to spot them.

S10 EP11: Depression Warrior Katie Zornes is Here! May 07, 2024

Show notes

Meet Katie Zornes! She calls herself a depression warrior and we call her an inspiration! Katie struggled with loss, grief, and depression early on. Have you heard the saying that time heals everything? We've heard it too, and it's BS. As many of us know, it's quite possible to do the things we need to get done and to look just fine doing them, while on the inside, old wounds still feel debilitating, and we go about our day not knowing if we'll fall apart.

Katie was at odds with her body for a long time and her weight became her identity. She cursed her body and thought weight loss would be the golden ticket to a happy life. Want to hear how Katie managed to lift herself out of a very dark place using one ounce of courage at a time? Katie shares her story in the hopes of helping others who struggle as she did, and admittedly still does. Katie's story doesn't involve any quick fix or magic diet. But we'll give you a hint: she talks about intentional movement and the importance of meeting ourselves where we are at. In 2022, Katie made a list of hard things that turned into a movement and has inspired so many people to do the same. Want to know how she got started? Because we all know, starting is the hardest part.

(00:00:00) Introduction

(00:02:26) How the loss of Katie’s mother at a young age affected her

(00:05:28) How healing doesn’t just automatically happen after a set amount of time

(00:13:40) The challenge of finding a starting point

(00:18:16) The importance of celebrating yourself

(00:22:02) The development of Katie’s 22 hard things in 2022

(00:26:49) The community that grew around Katie’s list of hard things

(00:28:13) Katie’s advice for people developing their own lists of goals

(00:32:30) What happens to a goal that isn’t reached

(00:35:19) The thing that's been the most difficult for Katie to accomplish

(00:36:45) Katie’s upcoming trips

S10 EP10: Biohacking Part 1: What IS Biohacking? Apr 30, 2024

Show notes

Remember all those movies where the kid manages to hack into the mainframe of some forbidden organization? Maybe we didn't exactly understand how typing in all those ones and zeroes did the job but it was exciting right? Well, imagine YOU are the kid and the mainframe is your body! Taking control of your own health and wellness through biohacking is a real thing, and not just a movie plot. People want to take a more active role in their health these days. They want to know what they can do to function at peak performance and maybe even live longer. And experts in biology, genetics, neuroscience, fitness and nutrition, to name a few fields, are answering with ways to enhance our minds and bodies, and in many cases, change our trajectories.

There are a lot of big claims out there and so many ways to biohack ourselves. To tackle this robust hot topic, today we are talking about what biohacking IS and the potential impacts it could have on your health, fitness and longevity. We want you to know how you can use it in your own life without feeling overwhelmed with the amount of information out there. We want you to make your own informed decisions on what is snake oil and what is a game changer for YOU. Leave today's episode speaking the language and perhaps you will decide to be the captain of your own ship.
