  • Straight Forward!

    I love how no nonsense Heather and Katie are. This podcast has made me realize that weight lifting doesn’t have to be over complicated, overwhelming, or my whole life. It’s also helped me switch my mindset from trying to be “my thinnest self” to the importance of being “my strongest self”. Perfect for beginners!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Q&A 109: postpartum workouts, protein struggles, anxiety
Q: Should I drop calories during a deload week since I won't be training as intensely?
No. Maintain or even increase calories to support recovery, keep protein intake stable, and recognize that volume is decreased but energy expenditure still supports recovery needs. The key is fueling for recovery rather than cutting calories.
Q&A 109: postpartum workouts, protein struggles, anxiety
Q: What are the best strategies for stress relief?
Identify daily grounding practices that cultivate gratitude and presence, such as short meditation, structured routines, or engaging activities (exercise, pets, family). Consistency matters more than intensity, and creating a regular space outside the home can help reduce stress and improve focus.
Q&A 109: postpartum workouts, protein struggles, anxiety
Q: I did a food sensitivity test and I'm sensitive to eggs, dairy, soy, and whey. What should I do for protein?
Avoid over-reliance on tests. If symptoms aren't clear, consider common protein sources like meat, fish, poultry, legumes, and nuts while noting any personal reactions. Explore non-whey protein options (e.g., beef protein isolate, egg protein) and reintroduce foods after a break to see what you can tolerate.
Q&A 109: postpartum workouts, protein struggles, anxiety
Q: I just had a baby. What should my programming look like as I ease back into working out?
Start with much less than you think and progress slowly. Begin with bodyweight movements, re-engage pelvic floor and core, and gradually reintroduce the eight foundational movements at light intensities, ensuring medical clearance is in place and pelvic floor recovery is prioritized.
Q&A 109: postpartum workouts, protein struggles, anxiety
Q: I lean forward when I squat. Is this a hip mobility issue or an ankle mobility issue?
It could be one, both, or neither, and you likely need individualized assessment. Check if the bar stays over the middle of your foot and consider your biomechanics (torso length, femurs, and torso). If you can sit into a deep squat with proper bar position, it's less likely a mobility problem and more about stability and proportions.
