    Creatine, Peptides & Collagen: What Women Need to Know

    Creatine, peptides, collagen...oh my! 😜 These are some of the biggest buzzwords in health and fitness right now, but what do they actually do?  And more importantly, do we really need them? In this episode, I sit down with Registered Dietitian Sarah to break it all down in a way that's easy to understand. We chat about the benefits of creatine, when to take it, what to look for in a supplement, and whether it really causes bloating or weight gain.  We also dive into peptides and collagen, what they are, how they work, and whether they're worth adding to your routine. And, of course, I ask all the questions I know many of us women are wondering,  especially as we get older and work hard to maintain our muscle, strength, and quality of life. No hype. Just a real conversation to help you make informed decisions about YOUR health. Let's dive in! 🎙️💪 Love you Lors 💛

    Protein, Peri/Menopause, GLP-1s & Creatine: What Women Need to Know

    Fitfam, this week on the podcast, I had the most fun sitting down with our returning guest, Sarah Weitz, RD, to talk about some of the biggest questions women over 45 are asking right now.  And, in case you are new to our crew, Sarah Weitz is a Registered Dietitian who has been working with BCC for over 15 years to provide evidence-based nutrition education for BCC trainers and campers. She is a Director of Operations for the Michigan State University College of Osteopathic Medicine, a senior academic specialist in curriculum development, and also teaches histology, pathology, and Medical Nutrition Therapy for first- and second-year medical students. We went deep on peri/menopause, GLP-1 weight loss medications, protein, and creatine, and wow, the takeaways were so good! Here are a few of the questions she answered... Do you need extra protein if you're on a GLP1 shot? Should you eat before you work out? If so, what? Do you need protein shakes or supplements? What supplements are recommended when you're in peri/menopause What is creatine, and should you be taking it? Are electrolytes okay to drink daily?  So much, right?! And this pod is a long one, so you'll have time to get your walk in while you're getting your learn on. 😊  Thank you so much for submitting all your questions and requesting Sarah back. YOU are why I do what I do.  Love you, Lors PS: Once you finish listening, would you take a second to subscribe to our podcast?

    Seasonal Depression

    Hi, my friends, I hope you are having a most awesome day! Guess who's back in the house? Our very own mental health guru and BCC legend, Kayla Burton! It's like a family reunion, and everyone's invited! Kayla's been part of our BCC fitfam for over two decades now. She's not just an alum; she's a full-blown LPC and with her own practice, Burton Counseling, LLC. Talk about an overachiever! 😊 In our latest pod, we tackle the notorious seasonal depression – yep, the one with a fancy name, Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). And we're diving deep. We'll be deciphering the fine line between the Winter Blues and SAD like we're on some kind of emotional CSI mission. And Kalya's got the lowdown on recognizing those tricky warning signs. And hold on to your sunlamps cuz we're uncovering the ultimate mystery; how to start asking those big questions, and guess what? It starts with Y-O-U. Yep, you heard that right. You're gonna have to spend some quality time with yourself. If that's not enough, Kalya's sharing with us some awesome resources and tips on finding your own therapist. Plus, she says we all need a vacation. Oh, yes, please! Thank you, as always, for your brilliant suggestions and questions. You are so wicked smart! Love you, Lors xoxo

    Weight loss drugs, diet coke and menopause. We mention it all with Abby Langer!

    Hi, my friends, I hope you are having a most awesome day! I invited back one of our most favorite guests, Abby Langer, a Toronto-based registered dietitian and the author of the best-selling book, Good Food, Bad Diet.  If you haven't met Abby yet, here's a quick rundown; -    She is the author of the bestselling book, Good Food, Bad Diet.    -    She is a total gangsta when it comes to myth-busting. Like straight up in her blogs, on her social media, in the national news organization, and on our podcast. She has no problem calling out the charlatans and dares us to look at the truth. #truthteller -    She's funny and wicked smart. And she cusses, which makes me laugh. Here are some of the topics we covered in this episode; -    Gut health (yep, those supplements are a LIE). -    Diet Coke will kill you (again, another LIE). -    Can you get enough estrogen from food (nope!). We also talk about the new weight loss drugs (Wegovy and Mounjaro) and how they are changing the world, how changing your diet is so much more than just changing your food, and loads more.   If you have any time, I would LOVE for you to listen to Abby. I am so excited to share her knowledge, education, and her sense of humor with you. She is amazeballs! One more thing, please continue to send me your ideas, comments, and suggestions (Abby Langer was one of them!). YOU are why I do what I do. Love you, Lors xoxo PS: If you want to follow Abby on social, her Instagram is @langernutrition, Twitter - @langernutrition, Facebook – Abby Langer Nutrition.

    Are you a Covid Long-Hauler?! Yep, so is my husband.

    Tony contracted the Covid virus on Christmas Day, 2020. And seven months later is still dealing with lingering side effects. Fatigue, check. Heavy legs, check. Head full of pressure, check. Itchy skin, check. Brain fog, check. Loss of taste and smell, check. The list goes on… Until yesterday. Seven months later as fast as he lost it, it came back. 206 days later. And it was so emotional. We laughed and we cried. And ran around smelling all the things. And tasting all the things. And then smelling all the things again. And, if you know my husband, I give you zero guesses on his first meal. Yep, it was pizza. It was a pretty amazing day. And as we were talking throughout the day, I asked him what was the one thing that got through all those long months. He said hope. So, I asked him if we would join me on a podcast to share his story with you and to hopefully, bring YOU hope. And, he said yes. Cuz he's awesome like that. So, grab your coffee, wine, or your running shoes and hit play. One more thing, if you are still struggling with Covid, keep the hope. We feel you and we are praying for you. Again, so appreciate you taking the time to listen to our podcasts and share your thoughts, ideas, and comments. And, if you have any topics, you would like us to discuss in future podcasts, please email me and let me know. The best ideas always come from you. Much love, Lors and Tony
