Doctor Mau Informa ®️ #drmauinforma Cuando discutimos la diabetes tipo 2 y la prediabetes, nuestro enfoque se centra casi exclusivamente en restringir los carbohidratos y perder peso. Sin embargo, los datos de los ensayos clínicos más recientes revelan un punto ciego enorme en nuestros paradigmas de atención: el músculo esquelético es nuestro órgano de eliminación de glucosa más grande, e ignorarlo acelera el envejecimiento metabólico. En este episodio, desglosamos las pautas clínicas y los datos de ensayos más recientes que demuestran por qué el entrenamiento de hipertrofia mecánica funciona como una poderosa intervención no farmacológica para el control del azúcar en sangre, incluso para personas con un peso normal. En este episodio aprenderás: → Por qué la diabetes tipo 2 actúa como un factor de riesgo independiente para la sarcopenia acelerada y el declive de la función muscular. → Los datos moleculares que demuestran que el entrenamiento de resistencia mejora la HbA1c en aproximadamente un 0.57% y la glucosa en ayunas en ~7 mg/dL. → Por qué el entrenamiento de hipertrofia es significativamente superior al entrenamiento de resistencia a la fatiga para la inflamación sistémica y la retención de masa magra. → Los sorprendentes resultados del ensayo Kobayashi: por qué el entrenamiento de fuerza venció al cardio en la diabetes tipo 2 de peso normal. → Los parámetros de programación exactos de la Asociación Americana de Diabetes y el ACSM necesarios para optimizar la eliminación metabólica en la práctica.

Save 20% on all Nuzest Products WORLDWIDE with the code MIKKIPEDIA at www.nuzest.co.nz, www.nuzest.com.au or www.nuzest.comThis week on the podcast, Mikki speaks to Brad Currier, Science Lead at Timeline Nutrition and lead author of the recent American College of Sports Medicine position stand on resistance training.In this episode, the conversation begins with Urolithin A and Mitopure, exploring what it is, what it does in the body, and why it has become an area of interest for mitochondrial health and muscle function. Brad explains the proposed mechanisms, the current human evidence, and what outcomes have actually been shown to improve, from cellular-level changes through to potential real-world benefits.Mikki and Brad also discuss who may be the best fit for a supplement like this, including older adults, athletes, and those already doing the fundamentals well, while also addressing the limitations of the current research and how to think about bias when science and industry intersect.The conversation then shifts to resistance training, where Brad shares key takeaways from the ACSM position stand he led, including what matters most for strength, hypertrophy, and health, and what people can probably stop overthinking.It's a balanced, evidence-informed conversation about mitochondrial health, supplementation, strength training, and the practical foundations that still matter most.Brad Currier is the Science Lead at Timeline Nutrition, where his work focuses on translating emerging research on mitochondrial health into practical, evidence-based applications. In particular, he has been closely involved in the science and communication around Urolithin A, the active ingredient in Mitopure, and its potential role in supporting muscle function, cellular energy, and healthy ageing.With a background in exercise science and resistance training research, Brad brings a dual lens to his work—combining performance-focused insights with a broader interest in longevity and metabolic health. He has contributed to large-scale evidence syntheses in resistance training, helping clarify what actually matters for strength, hypertrophy, and overall health, and where the field may have overcomplicated things.At Timeline, his role sits at the intersection of research, education, and application, helping bridge the gap between mechanistic science, clinical relevance, and real-world use—particularly as interest grows in interventions that support muscle and mitochondrial function across the lifespan.Brad Currier https://www.instagram.com/bradcurrier.phd/• ACSM Position Stand on Resistance Training (2026) - https://journals.lww.com/acsm-msse/fulltext/2026/04000/american_college_of_sports_medicine_position.21.aspx• Timeline Nutrition - https://www.timeline.com• Curranz Supplement: Use code MIKKIPEDIA to get 20% off your first order - go to www.curranz.co.nz  or www.curranz.co.uk to order yours NZ listeners - save 10% off Calocurb by using the code Mikkipedia10 at www.calocurb.co.nzContact Mikki:https://mikkiwilliden.com/https://www.facebook.com/mikkiwillidennutritionhttps://www.instagram.com/mikkiwilliden/https://linktr.ee/mikkiwilliden

You're training consistently, eating well, sleeping as best you can and yet the energy isn't there, recovery is taking longer, and something just feels off.  Brad Currier, one of the leading researchers in mitochondrial science, gets into why mitochondrial decline is the hidden driver behind low energy, slower recovery, and reduced muscle performance in women over 40 and what the latest clinical research shows you can actually do about it. If you want to train hard, recover well, and feel genuinely energetic into your 40s and beyond, this one is worth your full attention.  WHAT YOU'LL LEARN • Why mitochondria decline with age and what it means for energy and recovery after 40 • What mitophagy is and why most active women in their 40s should know this • How urolithin A triggers mitophagy and what the clinical data actually shows • What rep range builds strength and longevity for women in their 40s • How exercise improves skin health and collagen from the inside out VALUABLE RESOURCES • Take the BioSyncing Quiz to help you understand what's actually happening in your body — and how to fix it.

Send us a text if you want to be on the Podcast & explain why!How to become a successful personal trainer vol 2 has an entire chapter on getting clients - 10 R's of getting clients. If you want to become a successful personal trainer, start by reading the book, not an 800 page textbook.You can be an amazing trainer and still struggle to get clients if your marketing is built on hope instead of systems. I'm sharing a simple referral strategy that consistently brings in high-quality leads: build real partnerships with chiropractors (and other allied pros), then make it easy and profitable for them to send people your way. It's not about begging for referrals. It's about showing up like a business professional and creating a clean, repeatable process that benefits the client, the chiropractor, and your coaching. We get tactical with what to say, how to say it, and where most trainers lose the deal. I walk through two approaches: paying for an initial chiropractic assessment to build trust fast, or starting lean with Instagram DMs and multiple follow-ups. You'll hear why directness matters, how to offer a complimentary workout without sounding passive, and how to set the precedent that your relationship is long-term and collaborative. Then we do the numbers. If you spend a few hundred dollars on an assessment and a lunch but land one 72-session package, the ROI can dwarf what you'd ever see from random ads. I also explain a smart package structure where the chiropractor keeps a premium for referring, why “go for no” follow-up wins, and how to position yourself as more than the stereotype of a trainer with selfies and weak anatomy knowledge. If you want more personal training clients, better client referrals, and a stronger network in your local fitness market, listen through and take notes. Subscribe, share this with a trainer friend who needs leads, and leave a review with the outreach step you're committing to this week.Want to become a SUCCESSFUL personal trainer?

Are your workouts actually building strength or just burning time? Amy Hudson and Dr. James Fisher break down the latest 2026 guidelines from the American College of Sports Medicine on how you should be training today. They unpack why consistency beats perfection, how minimal training can still deliver real results, and where most people waste time and effort. Tune in to simplify your approach and start training in a way that actually works.Dr. Fisher explains what the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) actually does. It's one of the main bodies shaping exercise science, from research journals to certifications that guide the industry.Dr. Fisher shares why resistance training is still massively underused. Around 60% of adults aren't doing any strength work, and only a small percentage hit the basic guideline of twice per week.Learn why consistency will always beat the “perfect program.” You don't need the smartest plan on paper if you're not showing up for it. What actually moves the needle is turning up regularly and putting in some effort, even on the days it feels basic.Amy covers how to choose a program you'll actually stick with. There's no shortage of “best” routines out there, but most of them fail because people don't follow through. The real win is picking something that fits your life so well that skipping it starts to feel uncomfortable.Dr. Fisher explains how to progress your training without overthinking it. If the weight, reps, or sets aren't gradually increasing, your body has no reason to adapt. Progress doesn't have to be dramatic, but it does need to be intentional.Amy covers why a personal trainer can quietly make all the difference. Most people fall into the habit of repeating the same weights and routines because it feels comfortable. A good personal trainer steps in to push progression just enough to keep you improving without burning out.Learn how working with a personal trainer improves more than just your results. You're not just getting guidance, you're also getting accountability, structure, and a reason to show up. That consistency alone is often what separates people who see change from those who stay stuck.Dr. Fisher explains why resistance training feels complicated (but isn't). Many people avoid it because they're unsure where to start or think it takes too much time. In reality, even two short 20-minute sessions a week can deliver meaningful results if done properly.Amy covers how to keep strength training simple and effective. Building strength is naturally repetitive. You don't need constant variety; you need consistency in doing what already works.Amy and Dr. Fisher agree that the basics will always outperform every “new hack.” Sleep well, eat decently, and challenge your muscles regularly is the foundation. Amy adds that it's easy to chase complexity, but most results come from doing simple things well over time.Dr. Fisher explains how eccentric overload can unlock more strength. Traditional weights give you the same resistance up and down, which limits how much you can challenge the muscle. With advanced tech like exerbotics devices, the lowering phase can match your strength more closely, creating a stronger stimulus and better results.

Welcome to another high-impact episode of the “Master Instructor Roundtable!”In this episode, Wendy Batts and Dr. Marty Miller break down the latest American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) Position Stand: “Resistance Training Prescription for Muscle Function, Hypertrophy and Physical Performance in Healthy Adults”—the first major update since 2009.

Active women are often blindsided by an osteopenia or osteoporosis diagnosis. This week, we explain why—and, more importantly, what to do about it—with Professor Belinda Beck, PhD, investigator on the groundbreaking LIFTMOR trial, which found that high-intensity resistance and impact training was both effective and safe for postmenopausal women with low bone density. This episode is a deep dive into how bone remodeling works and why mechanical loading—especially the right combination of impact exercise and progressive heavy strength training—is essential for building and maintaining bone strength. We also cover peak bone mass, estrogen, menopause, and the foundational role of nutrition, including calcium and vitamin D, in supporting stronger bones for life.Dr Belinda Beck is a Professor of Exercise Physiology at Griffith University (Gold Coast, QLD) and Director of The Bone Clinic in Brisbane. Her work, primarily related to the effects of mechanical loading on bone, includes a series of clinical trials (the LIFTMOR and MEDEX-OP trials) that changed the way osteoporosis is managed with exercise. In 2015, she established The Bone Clinic, a translational research facility and clinical practice in Brisbane providing the ONERO® exercise program for osteoporosis which has been licensed for delivery around the world. She has been awarded almost $8M in research funding and has published over 150 papers and chapters in the field. She is a Fellow of numerous bone and exercise societies (including ACSM, ASBMR, ESSA and SMA), is on the Board of the Australian and New Zealand Bone and Mineral Society, Sports Medicine Australia, the SOS Fracture Alliance, the International Osteoporosis Foundation Capture the Fracture Governance Committee, and the Healthy Bones AustraliaMedicine and Science Advisory Committee.Resources:High-Intensity Resistance and Impact Training Improves Bone Mineral Density and Physical Function in Postmenopausal Women With Osteopenia and Osteoporosis: The LIFTMOR Randomized Controlled Trial hereThe Bone Clinic & ONERO® programWatch on YouTubeSign up for our FREE Feisty 40+ newsletter: https://feisty.co/feisty-40/Join Feisty at the Grand Traverse in Duluth, MN on October 3rd!

We're discussing how the newest ACSM resistance‑training guidelines upend traditional, one‑size‑fits‑all programs. We explore why consistency beats complexity, how tailoring load, volume, and non‑traditional methods to your goals will let you train smarter, stick to a plan you enjoy, and achieve lasting results without needing advanced techniques.

Episode 1: Obedience Experiments & the Current Hantavirus Scare Lead-In / Hook • Open with the fresh Hantavirus cruise ship story (May 2026 outbreak on MV Hondius: cluster of cases, deaths, WHO alerts, media panic, comparisons to past pandemics). • Ask: “Another virus scare hitting the headlines — rodent-borne hantavirus on a cruise ship, rapid media coverage, public anxiety spiking. Sound familiar?” • Thesis: “This is the perfect real-time example of how authority, conformity, and ‘trust the experts' tactics — proven in classic psychology experiments — are still being used today in public health narratives.” Section 1: The Classic Experiments (Quick Recap) • Milgram Obedience: 65% of ordinary people administered what they believed were lethal shocks because an authority figure told them to. • Stanford Prison Experiment: Normal students became abusive guards or passive prisoners in days due to assigned roles and power structures. • Asch Conformity: People denied obvious reality (line length) to match the group. • Core lesson: Authority + perceived expertise + group pressure easily override personal judgment and common sense. Section 2: How These Tactics Show Up Right Now (Hantavirus as Exhibit A) • Rapid “trust the experts/WHO” framing and fear-based coverage despite experts noting low general-public risk and rare human-to-human transmission (mainly Andes strain in this case). • Labeling of questions or skepticism as dangerous or conspiratorial (Asch conformity in action). • Positioning public health agencies and media as the sole authority figures (modern Milgram). • Role assignment: Compliant citizens vs. reckless skeptics (Stanford Prison dynamic). • Tie to broader pattern: Same playbook seen in vaccine campaigns, statin guidelines, and repeated “emergency” messaging. Section 3: The Real-World Cost (Your Trenches Perspective) • After nearly 40 years coaching and still training at 63: Clients who followed official narratives saw declining performance, metabolic issues, lost resilience. • Psychology working as designed: Creates compliance and dependency while independent thinking erodes. • Profit angle: Institutions and industries benefit from sustained fear and reliance. Section 4: Breaking Free — The Thinking Man's Approach • Recognize the tactics: Treat health messaging like any high-pressure sales pitch — question it. • Use your own data: Track personal metrics (energy, strength, how you feel) over blanket guidelines. • Build real resilience: Smart intensity training (Tabata intervals — 4 minutes of hard effort) that delivers measurable results without waiting for official approval. • Reclaim agency: Decisions based on your body and long-term outcomes, not external pressure. Closing / CTA • Once you see the pattern, you can't unsee it. • Grab the free Policy-Proof Your Health Checklist. • Question of the week: “Have you seen fear-based health messaging influencing your decisions lately?” • Empowering close: Listen to your body, think critically, and stay in control. Episode 2: Refuting Gatorade's “Hydrates Better Than Water” Claims Intro / Hook • Relatable question: “Have you ever reached for a Gatorade (even the new lower-sugar version) thinking it hydrates you better than plain water?” • Thesis: “The electrolyte science has a kernel of truth in specific situations, but the broad marketing claim is wildly overstated for most people. There's a simpler, cheaper, cleaner option that works just as well — or better.” Section 1: What Gatorade Actually Claims • Sodium helps retain fluid, maintain blood volume, reduce urine output. • Carbs + sodium boost absorption (via SGLT1 transporters) in full-sugar versions. • They apply the “proven electrolyte blend” messaging broadly, including to everyday use and the lower-sugar version. • Recent pivot: Pushing hydration for regular people, not just athletes. Section 2: Kernel of Truth (Stay Balanced) • In prolonged intense exercise (>60–90 min), heavy sweating, heat: Electrolytes (especially sodium) do help replace losses and improve retention. • “Salty sweaters” and endurance athletes see real benefit. • Give credit where it's due — no denying the narrow use case. Section 3: Context Is Everything — The Refutation • ACSM guidance: For exercise under ~1 hour or moderate intensity, little to no difference vs. plain water. • Normal diet already supplies most daily electrolytes. • Much of the perceived superiority is palatability (people drink more flavored liquid). When volume is equal, the gap shrinks dramatically. • Lower-sugar version loses most of the carb-absorption advantage. Section 4: The Better Alternative — DIY Salt Water • Simple recipe: 16–20 oz water + 1/8–1/4 tsp high-quality sea salt (~300–500 mg sodium) + squeeze of lemon/lime. • Optional: Tiny bit of honey for longer sessions. • Why it wins: Full control over sodium, zero added sugar/additives, much cheaper, cleaner. • Evidence: Sodium-enhanced fluids improve retention in relevant scenarios (Beverage Hydration Index research). • Advantages: Avoid excess sugar, customize to your needs, no marketing hype. Section 5: Critique of the Research • Often-cited studies (e.g., small 2008 kayaker trial) have limitations: tiny samples, specific conditions, industry ties (GSSI). • Independent sources (Harvard Health, ACSM): Water + balanced diet is enough for the vast majority of people. Conclusion & Takeaways • Bottom line: Pinch of salt in water beats Gatorade for everyday or moderate activity. Save commercial drinks for true long, brutal endurance efforts in extreme conditions. • Action step: Try the DIY version this week and compare how you feel. • Listener question: “What's your go-to hydration strategy?” • Empowering note: Hydration doesn't need to be expensive or complicated — listen to your body and use common sense. These talking points keep both episodes concise, conversational, and true to your style. The obedience episode leads strongly with the timely Hantavirus example, then flows naturally into practical health ownership (including hydration as a real-world application).

American College of Sports Medicine är en av världens mest inflytelserika organisationer kring träning. De har för första gången sen 2009 uppdaterat sina riktlinjer kring styrketräning och om det blir som 2009 när de släppte sina förra rekommendationer så lär det här nya dokumentet få stor inverkan på vad till exempel personliga tränare får lära sig på sina utbildningar. I det här avsnittet så diskuterar vi innehållet och vad som skiljer det från de tidigare rekommendationerna som kom ut 2009.

Mándanos un mensajeEl American College of Sports Medicine acaba de publicar la actualización más importante de sus guías de entrenamiento de fuerza en 17 años. Y lo que encontraron contradice algunas de las cosas que más se repiten en gimnasios, en redes sociales y en programas de entrenamiento.En este episodio desmenuzamos el nuevo Position Stand del ACSM — qué cambió, qué sigue igual, y lo que esto significa para ti si entrenas o si tienes clientes.Lo que vas a aprender:— Por qué la carga ya no es el factor más importante para ganar músculo — Qué dice el documento sobre fuerza, hipertrofia y potencia — y por qué son tres prescripciones completamente distintas — Qué cosas que creíamos indispensables resultaron ser opcionales según la evidencia — El hallazgo sobre potencia que casi nadie está destacando — y que es especialmente relevante para adultos mayores y población general — Por qué la adherencia es ahora oficialmente la variable número unoBasado en: Currier et al.

The American College of Sports Medicine just published its first updated position stand on resistance training since 2009, and the findings challenge some the most widely held assumptions in the fitness industry. In Episode 13, hosts Rachel Chonko and Luke Carlson break down the ACSM's new paper which synthesized more than 30,000 studies published over the last 15 years. The conclusions are clarifying with direct implications for how health clubs program, communicate and coach. This Episode Covers: - What the science actually says drives muscle growth (and what doesn't — including some widely held assumptions about load and frequency). - Why progressive overload is the single most important variable in any strength training program. - The case for minimal effective dose: how three exercises, once or twice per week, can produce meaningful results. - What the safety data says about resistance training for older adults — and why the risk perception doesn't match the evidence.

Send us a text if you want to be on the Podcast & explain why!A client tells you they have diabetes, hands you their card, signs up for training and then refuses to get medical clearance. Do you keep the money and train them anyway, or do you draw a hard line and risk the refund? We walk through the real decision personal trainers face when safety, ethics, and liability collide, including why “it depends” really means “it depends on your documentation and your preparedness.” We break down the types of diabetes (type 1, type 2, and gestational) and what personal trainers are most likely to see in the gym. From there we get practical about diabetes and exercise: how full body strength training can drive glucose into working muscles, how blood glucose can drop into a hypoglycemic state, and what the warning signs can look like in real time. We also cover what actually helps in an emergency, why fast sugar wins, and why solid foods can create a choking risk when someone is woozy or fading. Then we zoom out to the professional standard of care: medical clearance, assessment, ACSM style risk stratification, and why a history like a prior heart attack changes everything. We also talk trainer insurance, what happens when things go to court, and how to turn clearance into a networking advantage by building a real relationship with a client's doctor. If you care about being a qualified personal trainer and protecting your clients, listen now, share this with a coach who needs it, and subscribe, rate, and leave a review so more trainers learn to do this the right way.Want to become a SUCCESSFUL personal trainer?

The 2026 ACSM resistance training guidelines are shifting the conversation—and most people are going to miss what actually matters. In this episode of The Fitness League Podcast, we break down the latest updates in strength training recommendations and what they mean for real people trying to get stronger, healthier, and more consistent. The biggest takeaway? Fitness doesn't need to be as complicated as the industry makes it. We dive into the shift from rigid, prescriptive programming toward more practical, sustainable approaches that prioritize long-term adherence over short-term optimization. We also unpack the nuances of progressive overload, how much variation and periodization actually matter, and what these updates mean from a public health perspective. This conversation isn't about chasing perfect programs—it's about understanding what truly drives results and how to build a system you can stick with.

WORK WITH ME✅ Want a clear plan and someone to keep you on track?

Send us a text if you want to be on the Podcast & explain why!Personal training certifications look simple until you realize the industry is split between marketing machines, legacy nonprofits, and smaller programs that bet on real skill. We build a March Madness style bracket to compare the big names in fitness certification and then pull the curtain back on what actually drives popularity: ad spend, search results, partnerships with gyms, and how easy it is to pass the exam. If you're trying to become a personal trainer in 2026, this is the reality check that helps you stop chasing logos and start building a plan.We get blunt about NCCA accreditation and why it often signals process and paperwork more than coaching competence. Then we land on the question that matters most: where do you want to work? Your target gym can dictate your CPT choice, whether that's a big-box chain, a boutique studio, or a premium club. We also talk about the real career risks for new trainers, including why so many quit in the first year when they don't know how to assess, program, sell, and communicate with confidence.You'll leave with practical personal trainer career advice, including a simple interview move that flips skepticism into proof: offering to take a manager through a 60-minute workout and backing your skills. If you want to become hireable, competent, and able to charge more, press play, share this with a future trainer, and leave a review with the gym you're aiming for next.Want to become a SUCCESSFUL personal trainer?

Starting around age 40, women can lose 3 to 8 percent of their muscle mass each decade if they're not actively doing something to protect it. At the same time, body fat tends to increase, especially around the midsection, leaving many women frustrated that their old routines no longer work. Add in the hormonal shifts of menopause, and suddenly the risk of insulin resistance, osteopenia, osteoporosis, and even frailty down the road feels very real. But here's the good news: muscle is not just about looking toned. It's your currency for strength, independence, and longevity. It supports your bones, protects against falls and fractures, stabilizes blood sugar, and keeps your metabolism humming. Midlife is an opportunity to build muscle and change the trajectory of your life. My guest today is Professor Stuart Phillips, PhD, FACSM, FCAHS, one of the world's top researchers on muscle health, protein metabolism, and aging. Dr. Phillips is a Distinguished University Professor in the Department of Kinesiology and a member of the School of Medicine at McMaster University. He is a Tier 1 Canada Research Chair in Skeletal Muscle Health. His work centers on the interaction of exercise/physical activity, aging, and nutrition in skeletal muscle and body composition. He is a fellow of several Academies, Societies, and Colleges, including the ACSM, but was most recently appointed as a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada (FRSC). Today, we are going to break down midlife myths and barriers and share how to thrive in your second act with practical and accessible strategies.

How to Become A Successful Personal Trainer Vol. 2 has an entire chapter (Ch. 5) dedicated to helping you develop your resume, interview and get hired. Want a recruiter to say “yes” before they finish their coffee? We walk through a practical blueprint for landing interviews at Equinox, Lifetime, and other top gyms—starting with a one-page resume that signals credibility in seconds. You'll hear how to write a sharp objective, place certifications and CPR/AED where managers expect them, and use the right keywords so your resume survives ATS filters without pretending to hold credentials you don't have.We dig into the real difference-makers: quantifying outcomes and showing breadth. Instead of vague claims, learn how to present 300+ coaching hours, retention rates, monthly sales figures, and program results that match tiered coaching models. We explain how to reference NSCA needs analysis, ACSM risk stratification, and FMS screening as proficiencies, not certifications, to demonstrate a wider toolkit. You'll also hear a before-and-after resume example, complete with measurable achievements, client variety, and clear timelines that prove reliability.Then we shift from paper to performance. We share how to prep for the recruiter screen, avoid filler words, and research each company's tiers and assessments so your answers land. If your dream gym feels out of reach, we offer a playbook: get interview reps elsewhere, build confidence, leverage seminars for warm referrals, and use mentorship to keep momentum steady. Rejections happen; smart trainers translate “not yet” into a stronger reapply.

In Episode 113 we sit down with Dr. Margie Davenport, Professor of Kinesiology and Director of the Program for Pregnancy and Postpartum Health at the University of Alberta. Margie has spent more than two decades advancing the science of exercise during pregnancy and postpartum, collaborating with organizations including FIFA, Sport Canada, ACSM, and the Society of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists of Canada. She walks us through the transformative cardiovascular, metabolic, and biomechanical adaptations that make pregnancy "the ultimate stress test," while explaining how exercise supports both maternal and fetal health. We also dig into her recent work on long-duration training during pregnancy, postpartum return-to-run recommendations, pelvic floor considerations, and the complex intersections of REDs, mental health, breastfeeding, and musculoskeletal injury risk. Margie's research dispels longstanding misconceptions and offers evidence-based guidance for athletes who want to stay active through every stage of pregnancy and return to sport with confidence. This is an essential conversation for anyone who cares about the science of women's health and performance.

We take a sharper route: pass your NASM, ACE, ISSA, NSCA, or ACSM quickly, then turn that momentum into hands‑on skill, confident coaching, and a book of business that lasts. Our goal is simple—make the exam make sense, and make your training career real.We walk through the essentials you're most likely to see on the test—clinical red flags like hypertension and tachycardia, ACSM risk stratification, and the behavior change stages—then connect those terms to real assessments and training decisions. You'll decode planes of motion, open vs closed chain, and the roles of agonists, synergists, and stabilizers on big lifts like squats, pull-ups, presses, and rows. We map NASM's OPT phases and ACE's IFT model to actual programming: stabilization setups, strength endurance supersets, hypertrophy ranges, maximal strength rest periods, and power pairings that develop force and speed without guesswork.We also dive into performance testing and bioenergetics so your intervals match the sport—ATP‑PC efforts with long recovery, glycolytic repeats with targeted rest, and steady oxidative work when it counts. On the nutrition side, we keep you in scope and exam‑ready: macros, calories per gram, fiber targets, and practical protein ranges from sedentary to strength and mass phases. Most importantly, we show how to move from textbook answers to client outcomes: clean assessments, simple cues that fix valgus without fear, workouts that hit stated goals on day one, and a clear, confident close that turns great coaching into paid sessions.If you're done cramming and ready to perform, grab the study guide, pass in 30 days, and join us for hands‑on learning that builds real-world confidence.

In this episode of Strength in Knowledge, Dr. Zach Baker, DPT, sits down with Dr. Corrie Jones, DPT, to tackle one of the most common—and most misunderstood—questions in rehab and performance: What's the best exercise for your patient or client? Together, they break down the clinical decision-making process behind exercise selection, and why the answer often isn't as simple as it seems. From evaluating patient needs to applying thoughtful progressions, regressions, and lateralizations, Zach and Corrie explore how context, creativity, and clinical reasoning all shape effective programming. If you're a physical therapist, strength coach, or personal trainer looking to sharpen your practice, this episode delivers the kind of practical insight you can apply tomorrow.

In this episode, we dive into the less obvious signs of under-recovery, and why your nervous system, not just your habits, might be the missing piece. But first, we chat about what 5 key aspects to focus on if you're knee-deep in a fall marathon prep. Then, we break down what recovery actually means, how cortisol and hormone shifts affect your sleep and progress, and why fueling and stress perception play a bigger role than you think.Whether you're an endurance athlete, a lifter, or just someone trying to train with intention, this episode will help you rethink how you approach rest, training adaptation, and energy. Because more effort isn't always the answer, smarter recovery is.We'll also give you a clear checklist to spot recovery gaps and practical strategies you can start using today.www.trainmk.com@melissa_kendterMcEwen, B.

Send us a text if you want to be on the Podcast & explain why!Dr. Pat Davidson reveals a revolutionary approach to understanding human movement through an evolutionary lens on this episode of the Show Up Fitness Podcast. Rather than treating exercises as arbitrary selections, Davidson presents his comprehensive seven-pillar model that creates a systematic, logical progression for any movement pattern – from the most basic to the most advanced.Davidson begins by cutting through fitness industry nonsense, explaining that personal training success requires strength in three areas: aesthetics (how you look), personality/charisma, and technical knowledge. This refreshing honesty acknowledges what many trainers ignore – clients want to spend time with people who are both fun and represent their fitness goals. Davidson's own transformation from being called "Fat Davidson" online to becoming a competitive bodybuilder in his forties demonstrates living these principles.The heart of the episode explores Davidson's brilliant application of evolutionary biology to movement patterns. Through the concept of Jacksonian dissolution, he explains how humans under stress revert to more primitive movement strategies – essentially "swimming through space" like our evolutionary ancestors. This explains why stressed or underdeveloped movers compensate with frontal plane strategies rather than the sagittal uprighting and transverse rotation that characterizes competent human movement.For trainers working with clients who struggle with movement, Davidson's "training wheels" approach provides a clear methodology. By strategically adding "ground" – points of contact, feedback, and support – trainers can help clients understand proper positioning and movement patterns. As clients develop competence, these supports are gradually removed, creating a seamless progression from "white belt" to advanced movement capabilities.The episode offers invaluable insights for fitness professionals looking to elevate their practice Want to ask us a question?

Send us a text if you want to be on the Podcast & explain why!Shubh Hamirwasia IG: Kaaffi_shubh from Maharashtra India. Transform your career as a personal trainer in India. Become a certified personal trainer with Show Up Fitness CPT recognized globally. Ever wondered how a personal struggle with weight could transform into a thriving fitness career? Meet Shubh, who turned his experience as an overweight teenager into a powerful platform for helping others in India navigate their fitness journeys.Shubh's story begins at 16 when a Les Mills instructor saw potential in him and encouraged him to try teaching classes. What started as a way to improve his own fitness quickly evolved into a passion for helping others. Facing the reality that quality personal trainers were beyond his budget, Shubh took matters into his own hands by pursuing ACSM certification. "How difficult can this be?" he thought – a question that launched him into multiple certifications and eventually, a career training others.The conversation provides fascinating insights into India's unique fitness landscape, where "skinny fat" is more prevalent than obesity. Shubh explains how economic factors and cultural traditions impact protein consumption, creating distinct challenges for fitness professionals. Unlike Western markets where trainers often leave the industry quickly, Shubh notes that in India, personal training attracts people from other careers due to its earning potential – an interesting contrast that shapes the professional environment.What makes Shubh's approach special is his commitment to education and mentorship. "Don't focus on money for the first five years," he advises new trainers. "Surround yourself with the best mentors that you can." This philosophy of prioritizing learning over immediate returns mirrors the approach effective trainers take with clients – focusing on sustainable progress rather than quick fixes.

Send us a text if you want to be on the Podcast & explain why!The easy way, textbook certs: NASM/ACE/ISSA.The QUALIFIED WAY: NSCA, ACSM, SUF-CPT.Hands-on learning > specializations.Get a DPT & RD on your team.Master the fundamentals of movement, anatomy, sales, and assessments.Ever wonder why so many certified personal trainers struggle or quit within their first year? The answer lies in a startling disconnect between certification marketing and real-world preparation.Across the fitness landscape, aspiring trainers face a critical choice – pursue the "easiest" certification or invest in truly learning the craft. This episode exposes the uncomfortable truth that the most marketed certifications (NASM, ACE, ISSA) fail to prepare trainers for actual client work, while the certifications respected by physical therapists and movement experts (NSCA, ACSM) remain less popular despite better preparing professionals for success.Drawing from over 20 years of experience and thousands of trainer interactions, I unpack why memorizing textbooks and multiple-choice answers isn't the path to becoming a respected fitness professional. You'll discover why no client will ever ask you to identify an "agonist muscle" or follow NASM's formulaic approach, yet these are what commercial certifications test extensively. Instead, real success comes from mastering movement assessment, developing hands-on skills, and building relationships with other health professionals.For those serious about turning their passion into a sustainable career, this episode offers a reality check and a clear alternative path. The fitness industry doesn't need more certificate holders – it needs qualified, competent trainers who can deliver results and earn their place alongside other health professionals. Whether you're just starting out or feeling frustrated after certification, this frank discussion will help you understand what it really takes to thrive as a personal trainer.Want to ask us a question?

Breaks down the top globally recognized personal training certifications.NASM, ISSA, ACE, NSCA, ACSM, NCSF, FFT LEVEL 3 (UK), Canada Fit Pro (Can Fit Pro), SUF CPT, NPTI, Fitness Mentors, Brent Brookbush Institute, NPTA, what's the best personal training certifications for you to become a personal trainer?Navigating the maze of personal training certifications just got easier with our comprehensive "March Madness" style breakdown of the top 16 globally recognized credentials. We pull back the curtain on what makes each certification unique, revealing critical insights that go beyond the marketing hype.The "big four" certifications—NASM, ACE, NSCA-CPT, and ISSA—dominate the industry landscape, but does their recognition truly reflect their quality? We examine how investment firms with deep pockets have positioned certain certifications as the "gold standard" through aggressive marketing rather than superior educational content. A simple Reddit search for "NASM personal trainer hell" might tell you more than their polished website ever will.Most aspiring trainers face a shocking reality: 90% quit within their first year. This isn't primarily due to lack of knowledge about exercise science, but rather gaps in practical skills—assessment capabilities, programming expertise, business acumen, and client management abilities. The certification you choose should prepare you for these real-world challenges, not just help you pass a multiple-choice exam.What truly matters in selecting a certification is alignment with your career goals. Before committing to any program, research where you want to work and what certifications those establishments recognize. The most valuable approach is interviewing trainers at your target gyms rather than relying on opinions from anonymous internet users.The fitness industry isn't saWant to ask us a question?

Send us a text if you want to be on the Podcast & explain why!How to Become A Successful Personal Trainer Vol. 2. NEW RELEASELearn how to make serious money as a personal trainer. It doesn't require working yourself to death. I'm sharing exactly how I make $500 in just two hours and how you can build multiple revenue streams to reach a six-figure income while maintaining work-life balance.Most trainers struggle because they're caught in a devastating mathematical trap: charging $50/session means you'd need 200 sessions monthly to earn $120,000 annually—physically impossible without burnout. After 20 years in the industry, I've learned that sustainability comes from premium pricing. By commanding $200-350 per session (which took time and strategic career development), I can generate $10,000 monthly from just two daily sessions with high-end clients who come through my carefully cultivated network of medical professionals.The secret isn't just charging more—it's creating multiple income streams. Separate your nutrition coaching from training packages ($250/month per client adds up fast). Develop referral partnerships with physical therapists and doctors. Create certification programs, write books, speak at events, and mentor other trainers. Each stream compounds your income while reducing physical training hours. Success requires mastering technical skills (anatomy, programming), people skills (communication, motivation), and business skills (sales, marketing)—all areas where textbook certifications fall drastically short.Ready to transform your training business? Get my book "How to Become a Successful Personal Trainer" to learn what took me decades to figure out. Stop limiting yourself with self-defeating thoughts about what you're worth, and start building the confidence to charge what creates a sustainable, rewarding career.
