Hey guys, thanks for tuning in. In this episode I sit in with Stu Locke and Paul ONeid as they discuss their coaching methods and the modalities they adopt to get the most out of their athletes. All too often we are given somewhat strict guidelines on how we “should” program and the unique traits and personalities amongst coaches gets lost in the specifics or macrocycles, mesocycles, deloads and rehab exercises. Paul and Stu do a great job of deciphering what it is their clients needs whilst giving a little bit more insight into their methods other than “it depends”.

Amy thought she was following all the right signs for health and fitness, she had the “abs” , was eating “healthy” and was very successful in sports including qualifying for the Australian Triathlon Team for her age group. With a Type A, perfectionist personality she always did her best but there was always one sign that deep down told her things were not quite right. She was not getting her period. Amy did not have a period for 7 years. The journey to recovering her period, otherwise known as Hypothalamic Amenorrhea was the most challenging yet rewarding journey of her life. It took her on a path of uncovering limiting self-beliefs of “I am not special enough” that were laid down after challenging childhood events and were driving destructive behaviours. She was forced to let go of her “ego” or “identity” as Amy the “runner”, “triathlete”, “fit girl” and “hardworking”, which she feared most. Although letting go resulted in an enormous transformation, self-discovery and finding inner peace. Through this experience Amy uncovered how harmful and how common our innocent pursuit for thinness and performance has become and how off track we are with it aligning with enhancing health and happiness, especially when it comes to dieting where we are told to ignore our bodies. This journey transformed Amy on a personal and professional level. Prescribing weight loss no longer felt ethical! Amy found confidence to niche down to helping others overcome disordered eating, compulsive exercise and guiding them to reconnect and trust their bodies. She is also extremely passionate about raising awareness that no period is NOT OK and helps her clients overcome fears to make healthy behaviour changes to recovering their period and fertility!

She holds counseling certifications from George Brown College and Leading Edge Training, which is certified by the Canadian Psychological Association. Currently, she’s pursuing a master’s degree in Counseling Psychology at Yorkville University in New Brunswick, Canada.   I first learned of the work Krista was doing to help real people with real lives understand, embrace, and master the complex issues of nutrition, health, and lifestyle improvement after listening to her podcast on Boom Boom Performance with Cody McBroom. Afterwards the first thing I did was buy her book “Why Me Want Eat” which is for people struggling with food, eating, and body image issues and tackles the concept of disordered eating from a more informal, real-life angle. Part self-exploration guide, part nutrition advice, part workbook, part manifesto, part instruction manual for life. For me this book gave me direction to what my next step was going to be to overcome my eating disorder but was also extremely comforting to know that other people experience these feelings and I am not alone.   So guys if there was ever one to share please make it this one, if you enjoy this episode screen shot and share it on your Instagram stories, tag myself @coachdarianbates and Krista @stumptuous and I will personally thank you for doing so.
