Fit is Freedom with Kelly Howard Kelly Howard

This week on the Fit is Freedom Podcast, we’re going to be exploring something I haven’t really explored before…Alcohol.

With our Sugar Freedom program, we discuss avoiding alcohol because of the sugar content.  But we’ve never really done a deep-dive on alcohol.  Today we’ll discuss its effects on our life, and how it can impact our health and fitness. 

I could think of no better person to walk us through this topic than Dr. Sherry Price! Through her podcast and platform, she dedicates her time and resources to helping women like herself break undesirable habits and replace them with new, more productive ones.

Join us on this episode of the Fit is Freedom Podcast as we learn common fitness mistakes made by women, why strength training is so crucial and tips on how to get started if you are a weight lifting newbie! 

If you were to take a time machine back twenty years ago, all you would hear about in the women’s side of health and fitness would be cardio, cardio, cardio, diet, and cardio. For years, women have been fed misconceptions about how to obtain the ideal physique, feeling a reluctance to even touch a weight for fear of “bulking up”. 

With more and more research out there and people like Tina Turrentine-Tepera advocating, the tides are turning. We are learning how crucial weight training is for not just women, but especially women who are aging.

In this very special episode of the Fit is Freedom Podcast, Dr. Krause is going to be walking us through my most recent blood results! She’ll talk through what the different items mean, where they should be, what we can do to improve them, and so much more! 

Whenever we have our blood work done, no news is considered good news. If there’s nothing sticking out like a sore thumb, we just assume that everything is good to go. But, what if we looked at our blood work differently? What if we looked at it as a tool to optimize our health?  Well, that’s exactly what Dr. Jannine Krause does for her clients.

On this episode of the Fit is Freedom Podcast, I will walk you through some of my go-to and newly discovered supplements that have really moved the needle in my life.  It will be a “Show and Tell” segment of sorts.

Being in the health and fitness arena, I find myself to be a bit of a research nerd! While I am by no means a doctor, I love to deep dive into all sorts of articles from the National Institute of Health, learning new ways to improve my health.

Of course, everyone is different, and it’s important to always consult your doctor before trying something new! However, I wanted to take some time today to share things that personally work for me in case you want to switch things up or give something new a try!

If you’ve been curious about giving yoga a try, or if you’ve been a little intimidated by the “sport”, you should definitely join me for this one! 

As many of you may know, my mother was a yoga instructor for years and years. While it is a big part of my history, I hate to admit I don’t do it as often as I feel I should. Because of that, I thought it’d be great to have an expert on, giving us the ins and outs of yoga and how to get started!

The expert I’m referring to is Nancy Martch, owner of Jai Yoga in Houston. She’s not only an instructor, but also a yoga therapist who dedicates her time to helping clients strive to stay strong, resilient, and flexible for the rest of their lives.

This summer, we are getting super fit! We’re changing things up, trying new things, and kick starting our health and fitness! 

If you’ve been around for a while, you know that I am all about making slow changes over time. I’m all about starting small and starting slow, creating consistency, and building a strong foundation to a fitter and healthier life! 

But sometimes, you just need to mix it up!

I’ve had a lot of my listeners asking for more information about my new Superfit for Summer program, and this Episode of the Fit is Freedom does just that! I’ll walk you through why I’m flipping the script and spicing things up this summer!
