What a lovely chat with the amazing Clare, (@bodybirthbeyond). Her calm, confident approach will leave you feeling really empowered to make choices in your pregnancy that suit you and your baby. Her knowledge around all things pregnancy is high and when she starts talking about nutrition and exercise, well.... listen to her come alive. I hope you enjoy listening as much as we enjoyed talking to he...

Are you a perfectionist? Are you always being told you should 'work' on that? Is it something you need to change? Well........it depends if its negatively impacting your life or not. Stu's nuanced look at the subject will really help you to figure out what's working for you. He also gives you a brilliant exercise to do. Don't worry you'll know when it comes because i ask ev...

Today we talk about the self belief and if it could be impacting you take action. In my work I see all the time women who lack self doubt. When this is worked on and considered I see adherence to plans, strength and physical ability improve. It's a really interesting discussion. We also discuss a listener question. They are struggling to make progress but they're eating 1500k. We talk it t...

We are so lucky to have Will join us this week. He is a PT, coach, therapist and mentor. This week we discuss the importance of Emotional intellegence and as always we've included you the listener.

This week we talk cardio zones, with particular focus on fat burning zones. We also look at the benefits of journalling. I love when we have a topic that we fall into different camps. Hayley loves journalling and Hannah can't get on with it at all. We hope that this shows you that ultimately it's figuring out whats right for you! We finish up having a chat about water, the benefits and if...

How should you train when you're pregnant. We jump deep right into Hannah's training regime at the beginning of her exciting journey growing another baby! We also chat about schools closing, chronic underfunding and what you do when plans change! Do you have a back up Hayley

We get a bit silly today! I don't know what got into us! I put it down to the dodgy vegan mac & cheese pot I had before this episode. You definitely get to know us a bit more in this episode, as well as why it's important to be consistent with protein intake, our favourite supplement. We also discuss a few fitness apps As always, we want your feedback and questions, so get them in! We...

We all have Flabby bits. They are ok! Unfortunately social media has created an environment where perfect is the only acceptable body shape. Can't show underwear lines, we need to have a completely streamlined torso with no lumps or bumps (skims) don't dare show your womb or moobs. Living to this standard is setting yourself up for fail, ultimately because your health and well being don&#3...

With the 'glucose godess' spending the last 2 years demonising sugar spikes, she has now released a product that apparently solves this perfectly normal physiological process. Tins product hasn;t faced any clinical trial as it's a supplement and they fall under different rules. So Hayley why are you ranting? i wanted to highlight that glucose/insulin is one part of digestion & meta...

This episode is all about why the health and beauty industry needs to split up. We use ‘beauty’ as sold to us in society, not what we hold beauty in from our own opinions. We talk about the stigma and shaming that happens based on these unrealistic ideals. It led on to how we set our clients goals and how Hannah cried, finally culminating in a conversation about stress. Now breath out and drop tho...

This week we talk about Zoe and fussy eaters. At the end Hannah and I largely conclude that this isn't where efforts should be directed. So much of what we eat is behaviour driven. If i were to ask you what a wholefood diet looked like, you'd be able to give me a pretty accurate example. We know through years of research that this diet as well as others that follow a similar line are the g...

We are well into January at this point. Hannah and Hayley discuss the impact tiredness is having on their clients and themselves. They also delve into enjoying food and the strange wonderful concoctions their clients talk to them about. As always, this podcast wouldn't be what it was without you guys listening. This is your opportunity to get the most up to date advice in nutrition and exercis...

Does the season or your mood impact your ability to take action? Or are you taking the wrong type of action. Hannah and Hayley come from different opinions on this one. It's not about right or wrong, it's about what works for us and you as individuals. We also talked about Hannah's broken hand! Part deux! Like always we greatly enjoy your input and really look forward to hearing from y...

This week was all about the benefit of practicing gratitude and the fact that doing it has a positive physiological effect. Mindset isn't often something overlooked when it comes ot healthy outcomes but it's the start or any behaviour change attempt. We also talk toxic positivity and how gratitude can often be confused with this. Like always we greatly enjoy your input and really look forw...
