It's been a while, but I'm back and joined by Danai for another great guest appearance on the podcast.We discuss an issue that has been a topic for both of our clients, body image. It's all about the perception of your body and the behaviour that relates to that. It can be particularly impactful at this time of year and we dig into how to approach it.Follow Danai on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/danai_etphdcoaching Follow ETPHD Coaching: https://www.instagram.com/etphd_coaching/ Coaching: https://www.instagram.com/steph_etphdcoaching info@stephanie-pt.com

In the second episode of this series, I talk to actor, producer and my lovely client Makenna Guyler about the pressures of changing your body, casting types and body commentary in the file and TV industry.Makenna has taken various roles in productions and has played the lead in many feature films. Last year she produced her biggest feature film, White Sky, that's just had its big US release.Makenna Links:Instagram: @themoviemethodhttps://www.instagram.com/themoviemethodhttps://www.themoviemethod.comCoaching: https://www.instagram.com/steph_etphdcoachinginfo@stephanie-pt.com

The little black dress has remained popular through the decades and women have felt the pressure to always have one in their wardrobes.Although I quite like a black dress, I'd like to rebel against what it represents and the pressure that it puts women under in the build-up to the festive party season.Coaching: https://www.instagram.com/steph_etphdcoachinginfo@stephanie-pt.com

In this episode, I talk about the impacts and support in drama school and the performance industry. I debated whether to discuss this, but I felt it was important to explore it. There are many different experiences, so this will be the first part as I want other voices to contribute to do this topic justice.Coaching: https://www.instagram.com/steph_etphdcoachinginfo@stephanie-pt.com

Today, I talk about the menstrual cycle. Despite it affecting 50% of the population, it still seems to be a taboo topic.We have to remember it can affect mood, strength, food craving, energy levels, recovery, brain function, body temperature, metabolism, sex-drive, blood pressure, injury rate… You know, no big deal.Coaching: https://www.instagram.com/steph_etphdcoachinginfo@stephanie-pt.com

Danai Beintari is a Psychological Coach, Nutritionist, a colleague of mine and recently found out she lives in the same borough of London as me!We talk about body dissatisfaction and a lot of connecting topics and factors. It's a complex subject and most of us deal with it on some level a lot of the time. We cover body checking and body avoidance, how we develop these certain thoughts through the media, society and our childhoods, aesthetic goals, body struggles leads to struggling with food, diet perceptions, society, guilt about struggling with body image and much moreFollow Danai on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/danai_etphdcoachingCoaching: https://www.instagram.com/steph_etphdcoachinginfo@stephanie-pt.com

This is actually the question I get asked the most, can socialising and dieting really exist together?The answer can very much depend on you, as it's just so different for each person. To help make some sense of it, I cover tracking calories, the impact of thinking of food of good and bad, alcohol, routines, hunger levels, navigating restaurant menus, enjoying your food and more.Coaching: https://www.instagram.com/steph_etphdcoachinginfo@stephanie-pt.com

I answer some of your questions, particularly one I've been asked about what to do when a friend starts a fad diet and another on how to deal with the guilt of missing a workout.Coaching: https://www.instagram.com/steph_etphdcoachinginfo@stephanie-pt.com

Scared of building muscle?The thought of lifting anything other than a free weight you think you are going to turn into Gym Kardashian. I really wish it was that easy to get accidentally bulky, but it's just not. You should always train to build muscle, it's your diet that determines the outcome of your aesthetics.Body composition aside, building muscle is the smartest thing you can do for your overall health.I cover diet, daily protein intake, hypertrophy, recovery and maximising your efforts for your goals.Coaching: https://www.instagram.com/steph_etphdcoachinginfo@stephanie-pt.com

The term “diet” has had its meaning distorted over the years and it's easy to feel conflicted and even guilty when it comes to this topic.I touch on the points of cyclical dieting, relationships with food, the desire and practicalities of losing weight quickly, focusing on what your priority is, guilt and finding a consistency and achieving your goal.Coaching: https://www.instagram.com/steph_etphdcoachinginfo@stephanie-pt.com

In this episode, I dive into the fundamentals of energy balance. It's the core principle in the physiological process of fat loss as it's the balance between calories consumed and calories expending.Understanding this is key in any fat loss journey and I'm here to help break down the points including maintenance calories, calorie surplus, calorie deficits, daily energy expenditure and more.Coaching: https://www.instagram.com/steph_etphdcoachinginfo@stephanie-pt.com

Welcome to the first episode of my podcast!I kick things off by delving deeper into body image. It's a really important subject, but I don't think it's spoken about enough or understood properly. Body image can be affected so much by your state of mind, so can change all the time even if your body hasn't changed.It can affect anybody, no matter their size. It's a perception and a bad one can lead to unhealthy habits or behaviours. Focusing on other aspects of our lives, not just exercise, can play a huge part in changing someone's body image.Coaching: https://www.instagram.com/steph_etphdcoachinginfo@stephanie-pt.com

Hi, I'm Steph, personal trainer and online coach. Welcome to my podcast!The Stephanie-PT podcast is exclusive to my clients and I'm going to delve deeper into body image, holistic health, steps to achieve food freedom and things that are unrelated to fitness. Because let's face it, health is more than just how many times we exercise and what we eat.Enjoy!
