Our guest today is Dr. Michelle Gilpin, DPT. Michelle is a Doctor of Physical Therapy who practices out of Evolution Healthcare & Fitness in Portland, Oregon. In Today's conversation we focus on one particular area of body, the pelvic floor. What is it? What is its function in the wholistic system of the body? What are the signs and symptoms that the pelvic floor is not functioning properly or optimally? And how training the pelvic floor can lead to enhanced performance in both sport and life.Follow Michelle - @drmgptFollow David - @dr.davidskolnik.dptFollow the Show - @essential.strength.podcastOur Partner on Today's EpisodeBarbell Rehab is bridging the gap between healthcare and fitness with online and in-person courses for clinicians, coaches and trainers who understand the value of barbell training and want to use this tool in both rehab and performance. Our listeners get $25 off the Barbell Rehab Workshop Online Course & the Strength Training the Post-Operate Client course!Action PlanI just want you to stop and think about whether you have any of the early signs and symptoms of pelvic floor dysfunction. These could be new symptoms, or long standing symptoms that you've always been lead to believe were just “normal”. They could be related to lifting weights, running, or just being honest about how frequent and urgent your trips to the bathroom are. You can even take the pee test Michelle mentioned, to see if you can stop the flow mid-stream. If you identify any of these signs or symptoms - BE PROACTIVE. Our healthcare system may be set up to treat problems only AFTER they get serious, but you can break out of that model by being your own strongest advocate and finding healthcare professionals, like Michelle, who are committed to helping you go from feeling good to feeling GREAT.That's it for this week. Until next time, I wish you STRENGTH and GOOD HEALTH.

Today’s guest is Alex Borsuk.  By weekday, Alex is a sports nutritionist, but by early morning, after work and weekend, Alex is a mountain athlete, a holder of many FKTs (that means fastest known times), and an adventure junkie. Alex is a role model for anyone, especially girls looking to set goals and push themselves to achieve them.      Today Alex is sharing about her journey from Ohio to the Pacficic Northwest where she found her love and passion for spending long days in the mountains. We’re talking about what motivates her to take on big challenges such as the Mt. Rainier Infinity Loop and running the Via Alpina across Switzerland. There might even be a story about being tracked by a cougar. Alex and I are also talking about how she handles the positives and negatives of a large social media following and how despite the pressures around her, how she stays true to herself and keeps doing the things that make her happy.  This episode is interesting, inspiring and one for listeners of all ages.  Episode Highlights Alex’s intro to the outdoors Finding peace and presence in the outdoors Managing risk in the mountains Being a role model on social media Running across Switzerland, The Via Alpina The 93 mile Wonderland Trail around Mt. Rainier The Mt. Rainier Infinity Loop How Alex recovers Alex’s adventure bucket list    About Alex Borsuk Alex was born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio. She attended Ohio University in Athens, Ohio, where she graduated with a Bachelors of Science in Nutrition. She then attended The Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio, where she completed her dietetic internship and earned her Masters of Science degree in Clinical Nutrition.  After graduation, she followed her dream of moving "West" and accepted a job in Bellingham, Washington as the corporate dietitian for a local supermarket chain. It was in Bellingham where she fell in love with the North Cascades and all they had to offer - skiing, climbing, trail running, and fastpacking. A year later, she and her husband Matt moved to Portland, Oregon, where Alex currently works for Evolution Healthcare and Fitness as their dietitian, specializing in sports nutrition. She offers nutrition consultation to local endurance athletes to help them improve their performance and reach their goals. When Alex isn't in the office, she spends her time playing in the mountains of the Pacific Northwest with her husband. You can find her training for an ultramarathon, climbing ice on volcano headwalls, skiing down couloirs, or rock climbing on some of the North Cascade's finest granite. Her and Matt are passionate "Weekend Warriors," who feel strongly about balancing work with play, and utilizing their limited free time (before work, after work, Saturday, and Sunday) to chase their mountain dreams.

Today on the Fitlandia podcast #85, guests Mike McCastle and David Skolnik of Evolution Healthcare and Fitness (Portland, OR) join host Christa King of Fitlandia Fitness to help those struggling with reaching their goals by providing clarity about the process of successful goal-setting and goal achievement. Why Set Goals? Anyone can set mere goals. The importance lies in clarity. Setting CLEAR goals and considering WHY we are setting the goal will: limit our mind’s wandering space draw us into the moment, creating immediacy and focus which allows us to create a rich environment in service to our goals provide structure for immediate feedback that will tell whether we are on track SMART and SMART(ER) Fitlandia’s 30 Days to Thrive Program members are encouraged to use SMART goal strategy, to bring clarity and focus to their journey. The SMART(ER) acronym reminds that we should set goals for ourselves which are Specific, Measurable, Action-oriented/Achievable, Realistic, Time-bound PLUS:  we must regularly Evaluate, and Revise our goals. Many of us have really demanding, high expectations; we launch into things without understanding what’s really “under the hood”. Members often want to lose weight FAST. No, no, no...slow down!  First things first. Focus on the Four Cornerstones of Fitness: Change behaviors around food, get moving, think positively, connect with your community. Jumping into a goal can be disillusioning, especially for perfectionists! That is why the EVALUATE and REVISE aspects of the SMART(ER) strategy is so important. We need to be gentle with ourselves, observing our journey as it unfolds. Today’s guests add to that: Be gentle; yet analytical. Recording and tracking progressions daily, weekly gives us a tool to review and adjust our goal and/or the actions that are getting us to that goal. Process Goals Lead to Successful Outcomes Mike and David also point out that a goal with no steps is very unlikely to be met.  There is a difference between outcome goals and process goals. An “outcome goal” is something like “lose 20 pounds”. A “process goal” is what you need to do to move along toward a clear outcome goal. For example, in order to reach an outcome goal of losing 20 pounds, you may incorporate process goals of  2 days strength training, 3 days cardio workout; tailored diet meal plan. If we create process goals but only focus mindset on outcome goal, we lose sight of the process and ultimately, the goal is unmet.  The outcome goal doesn’t ground us in the present. Instead, it’s always looking into the future. Remember, an initial requirement for a clear goal is that it draws us into the MOMENT. So in order to have success, we must be mindful our process goals, constantly evaluating and revising. What is a Secret Goal? David and Mike describe a secret goal like this: an athlete may say, “My goal is to compete in an Iron Man and I just want to finish with the pack”. But secretly, that person may be desiring a Top -20 finish and would be upset if they didn’t achieve at that level--then those feelings will get in the way of any positive feelings about the stated goal… and that disappointment will affect the next training cycle. Many are afraid to articulate their secret goal--afraid of the pressure that will come or the level of commitment it will take to get there Christa King suggests that’s where Mind Zoning® comes in! The Mind Zoning® Academy helps us learn to set boundaries and give ourselves permission to make ourselves and our health-related goals a priority. This strengthens our ability to commit to the process goals that move us forward toward meeting our treasured secret outcome goals! Why is Community Important to Success? One of the secrets to making fitness easier is to work out or train with a group! Especially one with the same goal.  Your tribe will: Generate competition/motivation Impact brain chemistry Provide mental checks that provoke us to keep up, push harder, stay accountable Provide comfort in knowing others are suffering on their journey to the goal, too Give positive feedback from others, especially when we are our own worst critic Share personal experiences that empathize, motivate, validate. Lack of engagement in the community is the biggest indicator that a person may not meet with success. Christa King reminds us that Community Connection is often the sustaining factor for process goals. That is why the community is at the heart of her 30 Days to Thrive program. Say No to Shame...and Yes to Tribe Guests from Evolution Fitness warn us about “fitness shaming”: the accusatory tones friends use when probing about your habits, ie: “Why do you go to the gym six days a week?” or the funny looks you get when you order your burger with a lettuce wrap. People become uncomfortable when seeing someone take action toward a goal. There’s a cognitive “spotlight” effect that seems for them to highlight areas of performance in their own life that they know need work. It makes people feel vulnerable and defensive. However, the act of suffering together IN A GROUP for the sake of a goal seems to shut down that pre-frontal cortex, so the defensiveness gives way to unity with the group and for the good of the group. Functioning in a community literally helps us get out of our own way. Christa expounds on this idea: We are wired to show up for our tribe. Use that as a motivator. Also, remember not to take personally others’ reactions to your goal-reaching processes and lifestyle changes. The subconscious really just wants to protect us from change. Knowledge helps us to override that. For example: Unless someone was a real jerk, he/she would never encourage an alcoholic friend to “have just one drink”.  And yet, if someone is trying to take a break from sugar, friends tempt relentlessly. It is this pervasive lack of knowledge about sugar addiction along with the subconscious fear of change, rather than maliciousness, that causes people to react negatively to our attempts to set and reach our health and fitness goals.  What About FAILURE? Evolution Fitness points out that any high achiever has failed many, many times. We should ascribe to the school of “Fail often; fail forward”. The more you fail, the more feedback you get. Immediate feedback is healthy; each failure is part of the process: a sort of report card of “where I was and where I am now”. When you fail, don’t make an immediate concession of your goal! Take that as positive feedback--quantifiable data-- with which to evaluate and revise your process goals. How you perceive failure is more important than the failure itself. The only real failure is quitting. Christa King adds that there is no need for shame; no room for shame! Look on “failure” as if you were an observer in the room. What was going on that led up to it? Gather the information you need to be successful in the long run. Consider Your Locus of Control Those who complain and blame rely on external locus of control. Learn to shift from an external locus of control to an internal one. Taking responsibility and coming up with solutions shifts to internal and allows us more sense of power over our choices. This allows us an ability to view failure more productively, leading to better choices in the future. Turning to external factors is “failing backward”, not forward. Eliminate excuses, become the warrior, get the results you want! Our guest expounds: One of the Four Buddhist Noble Truths is that life begins with struggle...to exist is to struggle. What matters for success is what people do in that struggle to endure: Do you fight/flight/give up?...or do you find a moment to transcend and elevate?
