I was looking at a new product that I’m sure will be filling my inbox with clients asking my thoughts on its low carb, gluten free, NZ made, can I eat it questions. 😜
This product has a s**t ton of the preservative calcium propionate (282).
Which has been associated with risk factors such as anxiety, behavioural issues and gut disturbances.
If you or someone in your family are experiencing any of the above symptoms and you’re not sure what to try next maybe look deeper into what you’re putting in your body.
You are what you eat is never more real than it is in todays ultra processed food industry.

Really interesting reading!
But most of my clients would know this as we talk about aging influences a lot; what are you doing to improve your aging process?

https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/top/526849/why-you-might-feel-a-rapid-burst-of-change-in-your-body-during-your-40s-and-60s?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR0bq3KNF9oXND4kM55jbrxX-xUzoCj7reybYd55m8Mz2A__mkpTPlQoQ88_aem_9h_CKu8pDE0abh_WeKCzcA

Why you might feel a rapid burst of change in your body during your 40s and 60s Stanford University researchers were also surprised to see some big bodily changes happening in people in their mid-40s.

MESSAGE TO SECURE YOUR SPOT

My protein centric meals from yesterday:
Protein oats
Egg and egg white omlette
Beef saagwala
Each meal bolstered with good sources of fibre, healthy fats and my snacks were a handful of grapes mid afternoon and a bowl of Greek yougurt with frozen berries in the evening.
Food doesn’t have to be difficult, it just has to work
Macros:
Pro: 130
Carbs:86
Fat: 50

Tonight we start at 5pm and then again at 6pm.
Your Metafit workout is ‘HIIT Flow’

I was thinking about b***y and how things have moved on from the 90’s skinny-flat-as-you-can-no-butt era to todays
build-that-ass-as-big-as-you-can
I prefer the latter and reckon those flat ass years have caused a lot of back issues for a lot of women… plus inactivity and the sedentary lifestyle that is so prevalent these days.
A strong as ass takes time and consistency; but it also could be the difference between having no back pain or living with back pain.
I know which one I prefer.

Why you’re getting ‘non-answers’ from bloodwork...
Reference ranges aren’t optimal ranges.
Conventional reference ranges are determined by highs and lows within the population, including health and unhealthy people.
They don’t reflect what would be optimal for you to feel your best.
Ex: Thyroid or glucose ranges.
1. What’s common isn’t normal. It might be common to gain weight in PCOS or perimenopause, but doesn’t mean it’s normal. Symptoms are typically the last thing to show up when something is wrong!
2. What blood tests show often require further investigation and a lot of doctors leave you with dead ends. For example, low progesterone or low thyroid. You didn’t just wake up one day and decide to be deficient in these.

If what you’re currently doing is not working, it’s time for a different approach!
And if you do nothing...
Nothing changes, your hormones stay a hot mess.
You continue to suffer with PMS/ menopause symptoms/ weight gain and not feeling like yourself.
You stay confused and stressed about your health.
Now is the time to take massive action and begin your transformation!

Good morning !
I want to share with you one of my client weekly check ins.
This is from a very cool chick in her late 50’s who was told it was too late for HRT, have some antidepressants and gaining weight is part of aging.
I helped her push against this, we worked on food quality, exercise quantity and other important lifestyle changes to help with the changes that menopause brings; and she’s been amazing at implementing these.
Today she messaged with her results.
I’m so pleased.

What the…. Happy Mammoth bulls**t marketing at it again!

WTF

Unbelievable and ridiculous marketing.

You do not 💩 out fat.

When you lose fat, it is primarily converted into carbon dioxide and water through metabolic processes. Here’s a breakdown of what happens:

1. Metabolism of Fat: When your body uses stored fat for energy, the triglycerides in fat cells are broken down into fatty acids and glycerol. These are then transported to cells where they undergo oxidation.

Oxidation Process: During oxidation, fatty acids are converted into carbon dioxide (CO2), water (H2O), and energy. This process occurs primarily in the mitochondria of cells.

2. Excretion:
Carbon Dioxide: Most of the fat is exhaled as carbon dioxide through the lungs. Approximately 84% of the fat you lose leaves your body this way.

Water: The remaining 16% is excreted as water through urine, sweat, and other bodily fluids.

I don’t care how good some people find your supplements. This marketing = no from me.

Love this message from a fabulous client this morning. 😎

With food prices rising, your grocery bill may be giving you sticker shock. But you shouldn’t toss your healthy eating goals because your food budget’s getting squeezed. Now is a great time to pick up — or brush off — some smart-shopping and meal-planning skills. These skills can save money while buying and preparing healthy food for your family.

With food costs higher than ever before, we understand that the size of your supermarket bill might be a bigger concern than whether it’s healthy.
But it’s possible to look after both.

Here’s a message from a client currently on one of my nutrition plans and they are SAVING money.

Come work with me and I’ll teach you sustainable nutritional habits, workable exercise behaviour and a cheaper lifestyle.

Message me.
I can help you.

This is me.
I fell into a bush today, too long a story for an insta post BUT…
It’s a great opportunity to be thankful that my strong, flexible body took the time to fall gracefully and not break anything 😂
And also a great opportunity to take the p*** out of myself 😊
Gotta love celebrating behaving like a sensible 55 year old woman.
If you fell over could you get back up again?
Want to learn how to fall well??

Brilliant read, and something I talk to my clients about. When it’s your period, keep training and make the gains!

Menstruation's Effect on Sports Performance Isn't Quite What We Expected Female athletes have faster reaction times and make fewer errors when they have their period – even though they feel their performance suffers compared to other phases of their menstrual cycle, new research suggests.

Another great blog from Dr. Stacy Sims.
Resistance training is finally getting the respect it deserves.
Message me and start strength training safely and effectively
https://www.drstacysims.com/blog/Resistance%20Training%20Is%20Getting%20the%20Respect%20It%20Deserves?

Resistance Training Is Getting the Respect It Deserves for Health Dr. Stacy Sims discusses the new American Heart Association (AHA) scientific statement on how resistance training is good not just for muscle strength, but also for cardiovascular health and chronic disease prevention.
