    Nutrition for Mid- and Plus-Sized Strength Athletes - Episode 174

    In this episode of the Fiercely Fueled Nutrition Podcast, Coach Pia gets real about what it actually looks like to feel stronger, more confident, and more at home in your body, especially in your 40s.   After a recent reel of hers went viral, Pia found herself at the center of some harsh (and very telling) online reactions. Instead of brushing it off, she uses it as a jumping-off point to unpack the quiet and not-so-quiet judgments that still exist around bodies, strength, and who "belongs" in fitness.   She shares her own story of starting out as an overweight, pre-diabetic beginner who felt completely out of place, and how powerlifting helped her shift from chasing appearance to building performance. But she also offers an important reality check: stepping into strength sports doesn't automatically heal body image  and ignoring nutrition and recovery can be its own form of avoidance.   This episode is a refreshing, no-BS take on fueling your body without falling into restrictive dieting, especially for mid- and plus-size athletes who are often left out of the conversation.      APPLY FOR COACHING https://10tkto34p7j.typeform.com/to/aI4uHZgU     Get our free pre & post-training meals guide https://guide.fiercelyfueled.com/podcast    Follow Fiercely Fueled Nutrition:  Instagram: @fiercelyfuelednutrition https://www.instagram.com/fiercelyfuelednutrition/

    Introducing A Neuroscientist Told Me Why I Can't Grow My Business (It Made So Much Sense) (Part 1/2) from Millionaire University. Follow the show: Millionaire University #846 What if the voice in your head telling you not to sell, not to post that video, or not to take that leap isn't weakness — it's just your brain doing exactly what it was designed to do? In Part 1 of this two-part conversation, host Tara Williams sits down with neuroscience and brain health expert Dr. Irena O'Brien to explore how the brain impacts entrepreneurial growth and decision-making. They dive into why the brain resists change and new challenges, the neuroscience behind the fear of selling and putting yourself out there, and why taking small, consistent steps is the key to rewiring your predictive brain. Tara and Dr. Irena also discuss the role of nervous system regulation in building willpower and resilience, and practical strategies — from breathwork and music to diet, exercise, and sleep — that entrepreneurs can use to boost energy, reduce mental resistance, and get into a state of flow! What we discuss with Dr. Irena: + Why the brain resists change + The science behind fear of selling + How childhood experiences shape your brain + Small steps vs. big leaps + The brain as a prediction machine + Nervous system regulation and willpower + Decision fatigue and time of day + Diet, exercise, and sleep for brain health + Breathwork and heart rate variability + How to get into a flow state Thank you, Dr. Irena!

    Fiercely Fueled: Mentality for Powerlifting - Episode 173

    APPLY FOR COACHING https://10tkto34p7j.typeform.com/to/aI4uHZgU     In this episode of The Fiercely Fueled Nutrition Podcast, Coach Pia hosts Clarice Tighe in a recorded "office hour" style episode discussing major frustrations in strength sports, especially the lack of regulation in powerlifting and fitness coaching and the risks of unqualified coaches giving programming, nutrition, or psychological advice. Clarice argues that words and behaviors create lasting ripple effects and advocates better coach education in psychological skills. The conversation covers reflection practices after meets and training sessions to manage "post-comp blues," build confidence through interpretation and context (not just numbers), and use consistent actions to navigate both strong and disappointing performances.   Connect with our Guest:  Connect with Clarice Tighe @clarice_odyssey https://www.instagram.com/clarice_odyssey/    Get our free pre & post-training meals guide https://guide.fiercelyfueled.com/podcast    Follow Fiercely Fueled Nutrition:  Instagram: @fiercelyfuelednutrition https://www.instagram.com/fiercelyfuelednutrition/

    The Rise of AI Fitness Accounts - Episode 172

    In this episode of The Fiercely Fueled Nutrition Podcast, Coach Joni and Coach Bela discuss the rapid rise of AI-generated social media accounts in the fitness space. They discuss how AI content is becoming difficult to detect and frequently targets midlife women with menopause/perimenopause weight-loss and muscle-gain claims, and how it can worsen comparison and body-image pressures. Listen in as they share practical cues for identifying AI accounts and the importance of doing due diligence, seeking real human connection and community, and remembering that sustainable fitness changes are habit-based and not "sexy" quick fixes.   APPLY FOR COACHING https://10tkto34p7j.typeform.com/to/aI4uHZgU     Get our free pre & post-training meals guide https://guide.fiercelyfueled.com/podcast    Follow Fiercely Fueled Nutrition:  Instagram: @fiercelyfuelednutrition https://www.instagram.com/fiercelyfuelednutrition/

    How Performance Nutrition Changed Everything with Winnie Abramson - Episode 170

    In this episode of the Fiercely Field Nutrition Podcast, Coach Pia welcomes Winnie Abramson, a photographer and long-time powerlifter, to discuss her decade-plus in the sport, starting after CrossFit and competing in over 35 meets across federations including USAPL, USPA, and Powerlifting America, plus serving as a USAPL referee and making Masters national teams and Masters Worlds in 2022. Winnie describes balancing high-level lifting with extensive travel, her photography, and strenuous backpacking, and the importance of planning, adaptability, and defining consistency beyond perfect training. She also talks about her experience seeking performance nutrition coaching after menopause and strength struggles, and how she learned to prioritize fueling, pre/intra/post-workout nutrition, and accountability without obsessive tracking. Listen in as she shares advice for midlife lifters: best days may still be ahead, stay patient with repetitive work, and don't give up, and provides her Instagram and email for contact.   Follow Winnie Abramson Instagram @winnie.abramson https://www.instagram.com/winnie.abramson/  Apply for coaching:  Follow Coach Pia: @pia_marangoni https://www.instagram.com/pia_marangoni/  Links and Resources:  Get our free pre & post-training meals guide https://guide.fiercelyfueled.com/podcast  Follow Fiercely Fueled Nutrition:  Instagram: @fiercelyfuelednutrition https://www.instagram.com/fiercelyfuelednutrition/
