    EP249 Thriving On Three: Why Working Out Three Days A Week Is Best

    EP249 Thriving On Three: Why Working Out Three Days A Week Is Best

    You don’t need to spend hours in the gym every day to get results - and this statement is backed by science.

    Studies show that the average strength gains for people working out 3x a week produced the most significant strength gains. Does that mean that you don’t get gains if you workout more than 3 days a week? No, you still get those gains, they’re just not as significant as the first three days…. And if you want to hear why AND the percentages then listen in to today’s episode of The Thick Thighs Save Lives Podcast.

    EP248 International Model Turned Nutritionist Sarah Ann: What I Learned About Food and Healing

    EP248 International Model Turned Nutritionist Sarah Ann: What I Learned About Food and Healing

    What is one harmful message you received growing up about body image / health / nutrition? Now that you are an adult, what would you like to tell younger you about it?

    Today we are joined by Sarah Ann Macklin. Sarah is a renowned podcast host, public speaker, TEDx speaker, international model, and health journalist, she was also named Woman of the Year in 2019 by Rake Magazine. Today we discuss how being a model affected Sarah’s views on nutrition, health, wellness, and her relationship with her body. Because of her unique experiences and education she has created what she calls The 7 Pillars of Health. Each pillar represents an area of life based on Body Image, Nutrition, Self Care, and how we can practice each area striving for flexibility and balance between them. 

    With this knowledge Sarah, Kelsea, and Rachael, discuss what message we can send the younger generations about health and wellness, as well as tips on how to improve YOUR relationship within yourself.

    EP247 The 5 Worst Fitness Myths Keeping You From Starting

    EP247 The 5 Worst Fitness Myths Keeping You From Starting

    “Everyone is going to judge me there.” “I don’t have the time.” “It’s too expensive.”

    Have you said or thought these things when you are debating on if you should start going to the gym? We have a response:

    It doesn't take a ton of time. It doesn’t cost too much money. There aren’t people that are completely different from you waiting to be mean to you, in fact, gym people are some of the most welcoming communities you will ever meet.

    The reality is- as a society when it comes to wellness and health care we have made tremendous strides in addressing acute illness, but have taken steps backwards with long term health or even preventative health. Getting in vigorous activity actually decreases mortality by up to 31%, and that includes the health issues that come with it. So how do we have more tools to improve our long term health than ever- but not yet improved? Tune into today’s episode to hear our top 5 “reasons” that people aren’t making it into the gym, and what you can do about them.

    EP246 The Worst Nutrition Advice Everyone Is Giving

    EP246 The Worst Nutrition Advice Everyone Is Giving

    “I’m trying to lose weight, I’m doing everything right. Eating well, exercising regularly, and the scale STILL won’t move”

    Have you said this? And in return has someone else said:“Track ALL of your food. Every single nibble, bite, whatever enters your mouth. Track it. You need to be more honest with yourself.”

    This is a problem, and we are addressing it. Not only is it disheartening to essentially be told you’re a liar, did anyone ask you about how long you’ve been working on this goal? Have you looked at any other health metrics? As in - are you stronger? Are you FEELING better? Do you have more energy? The scale is not the only health metric we should be measuring, not only that but the data ISN’T EVEN ACCURATE. Calories aren’t an exact science, they’re a guesstimate. Same goes with how we burn them and how they’re being measured on our fitness trackers and watches. So we’re building unsustainable habits off of inaccurate data and then wondering why we feel so frustrated. However - the good news is that in today’s podcast we cover what you can do instead. So tune in to hear what you need to know about building sustainable habits to help you reach your goals!

JillianSP ,

Wow!

Wow! I am so glad I found this podcast. These girls are fantastic inspirations and full of knowledge. I love their apparel, found that first, and it opened the world up to their empowering community. As a nutrition coach myself, I have prescribed this podcast to clients.

Luxnits ,

Not always right

Kelsey and Rachel are not always right , but never I doubt. Should we all buy a very expensive almond milk maker, and eat almond pulp for breakfast instead of oatmeal?? Probably not.

AMelcer ,

Thank you!

Been lifting for a few years and was searching for a female perspective on my health journey. I’m only 2 episodes in and I find myself saying out loud. “Yes!” And feeling so validated in my path.
