Episode 86: Using our breath to get more out of our training with Dr Caity Haniver (Osteopath) Oct 16, 2021

Show notes

Episode Notes

Dr. Caity Haniver is an avid weightlifter, weightlifting coach, and Osteopath. Caity has always been passionate about the human body & helping people maximise their potential to achieve health & performance goals.

Being in the fitness industry for over 10 years, Caity realised there was a big gap in clinicians who could work with athletes wanting to compete in sports like Weightlifting and Crossfit.

This pushed Caity to become a hybrid clinician and weightlifting coach who could offer both programming, coaching, and osteopathic care.

Caity works with many athletes to improve joint range of motion, improve technique, and provides programming to help them achieve their weightlifting goals.

Today on the podcast Caity and I talk about breathing and the pelvic floor

Episode Notes

_How long does it take to build strength, gain confidence and get results? _

I get asked this a lot. And I believe that it takes YEARS, not weeks or months, to get strong, gain confidence and get results.

In today's episode, we talk all about timelines! How long it actually takes, and why having a plan and strategy that has a timeline of years is really important.

I share my story and I also share 5 case studies of my Warrior Women. I talk you through their journeys and the strategies we put in place to help them build strength, gain confidence and get results.

Episode 81 Hormonally respectful fat loss with Jessica Ash

"How you go about losing fat is everything"

Have you tried to lose weight before? I'm guessing you've probably tried LOADSSSSS of times

In beginning, you ate less, trained harder, and lost weight. And it really worked for you at the start! .... am I right?

But, for most of us, that beginning period doesn’t last - we start to see that our amazing bodies and physiology are complex

We realize that what worked in our training and health before might not work now...

We aren’t getting the results we want and we have no energy, our hormones are screwed, and we've put on weight

So, what the hell is happening?

Well, how you go about losing fat is everything!

Jess Ash is the queen of helping women learn how to work with their bodies

She recently did a Youtube series on "Hormonally Respectful Fat Loss" (if you haven't watched it, you need to!).

So, I had to get her on the podcast to talk about how you lose fat is a hormonally respectful fat loss

This was the first time she's spoken about this very important topic on a podcast.

Here's a short and sweet overview of the key things we chat about:

Why do the words we use matter
What does hormonally respectful fat loss mean
How do I know if my body is healthy
Why is having a healthy body important for fat loss
How do I create stability in my body
What is fat? And why do we need it
Why losing fat is hard
How do I lose fat mass in a healthy, sustainable way
Where do I start
PCOS and losing fat

And much more!
