In this episode, I call out some dangerous and misguided fitness advice floating around on social media—like a post from a PhD in exercise physiology suggesting that everyone should go run for 45 minutes in 100-degree heat to boost their VO₂ max. Sure, the science on heat training is interesting and real, but context matters. For elite athletes training for world championships, carefully managed heat exposure can make sense. For the other 99.9% of people, it’s a fast track to burnout, breakdown, or even the ER. I break down the difference between training stress that builds fitness versus stress that destroys it, explain how to recognize the signs of overtraining, and share why fatigue is feedback, not weakness. I also revisit my critique of Layne Norton’s “push through it no matter what” philosophy and contrast that with what smart athletes actually do—monitor recovery, track readiness, and adjust daily. To wrap up, I share lessons from my own mistakes, insights from coach Cynthia Monteleone, and why true recovery days sometimes mean actually resting. TIMESTAMPS: Brad takes issue with the recommendation that people exercise in 100 degree heat. [01:10] If you are talking about competitive athletes, rather than the general population, that would be different. [03:30] Running is too stressful for the vast majority of participants. [06:37] The main two reasons for poor performance and workouts are one, over training and two, de-training. [10:27] You are literally training the body to get slower, weaker and less efficient with poor technique when you train and push your body through signs of poor movement patterns. Fatigue is feedback, not weakness. [12:10] If you don't feel like working out one day, that is a signal from the control center, your brain. [17:57] There is a huge distinction between endurance athletes where they always have that obligation to keep that aerobic system going with low intensity recovery days versus a true recovery day for a high intensity power athlete which entails sitting around and resting.

It's chef's kiss myth-busting gold about metabolism, influencers quoting mouse studies, and why women are not just small men.)In this round, Allan and I take on the internet's favorite myths, starting with muscle confusion. Spoiler: it doesn't give you better results. It mostly just makes you sore. We also tackle the never-ending Pilates vs. weights debate because no, Pilates does not magically give you “long, lean muscles” (that's genetics, babe). And no, weight training will not turn you into the Hulk by accident.We get into why women think they bulk up too quickly (hint: it's just the pump, not instant muscle gain) and why sticking with weight training is one of the best things you can do for fat loss, metabolism, and avoiding injuries down the line. Your muscles are basically little carb sponges, so the more lean muscle you build, the more pizza you can eat without it going straight to your hips.And because Allan can't resist a peek into the future, he also calls out the next big scam about to flood your feed: concierge pill mills. Yep, the wellness industry always finds a way.This episode is equal parts myth-busting, science, and pep talk. Bottom line: lift the damn weights. You're not broken, you're not doomed, and your body is capable of way more than you think.What's Inside:Why “muscle confusion” is mostly hypeThe truth about Pilates vs. weight trainingWhat's really behind women “bulking up” too fastThe next big fitness and wellness scam to watch forLet's get honest for a sec: are you letting fear of “bulking up” or falling for influencer hype hold you back from training the way you really want? Imagine what would change in your body and your life if you dropped the BS and just went for it. Let me know on Instagram, I love hearing your takeaways.Mentioned in this episode:Dr. Allan Bacon on Instagram – @drallanbaconMaui Athletics Lifestyle Nutrition GuideEpisode 108: The Problem with “Women Are Not Small Men” with Dr. Allan BaconHealthy As Fck*Oonagh Duncan on InstagramFit Feels Good Strong AFLeave me a voice note on Speak Pipe!

In this episode, the High Calling Fitness Coaches discuss the myths surrounding body types, specifically the outdated somatotype theory which categorizes individuals into ectomorph, mesomorph, and endomorph. Is there any truth to any of it??? They share personal experiences of transformation, emphasizing that body types are not fixed and can change through lifestyle choices, training, and nutrition. The conversation highlights the importance of control over one's body and the psychological aspects of food and fitness, encouraging listeners to embrace change and challenge societal perceptions of body image. The end summary: Body types are not fixed and can change over time. Praise the Lord! You're not stuck in any sort of "type". Our advice? Ignore any buzz around this topic. Focus on your goals. Have fun along the way. Watch the Results! Give it a listen here or wherever you get your podcasts! Just look up Bacon, Bibles, and Barbells!

Send us a textYou know that phrase that's everywhere right now, “Women are not small men”? Well… it's true. And also? It's become the perfect little hook for some people to sell you complete and utter BS.In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Allan Bacon, yes, the guy who trains Arnold Classic competitors, publishes in scientific journals, and also works with regular humans who just want to get stronger without losing their minds, to bust some of the biggest myths floating around women's health and fitness right now.We get into the shady tactics “menopause influencers” are using to prey on women's very real experiences (and why some of these folks are making you just as stuck as the old-school bro science ever did). Allan explains how to tell the difference between what's actually happening in your body and what's just Instagram fear-mongering.And spoiler: some of the things you think are “hormones” might actually be your habits. Which is great news, because habits are something we can change.We also talk mouse studies (yep, apparently you're a large mouse now?), why cortisol isn't the enemy it's made out to be, and a brutal but brilliant “10-day diet” test to check if your metabolism is actually broken.If you've ever been told to only do one type of workout because of “menopause” or if you've wondered whether all this hormone talk is a legit wake-up call or just a very expensive con, this one's for you.What's Inside:Why “women are not small men” is true and how it's being used to con youHow to spot influencer fear-mongering vs. actual scienceThe truth about metabolism during menopause (and the habits that matter most)Why your workout program probably doesn't need to be “hormone-specific” to workSo let me ask you this. What's keeping you from feeling good in your body right now? Is it your hormones, or is it the sneaky little habits that crept in without you noticing? If you've ever felt stuck, frustrated, or just plain confused about what the hell to do next, you're not alone. Shoot me a DM on Instagram and tell me what's going on for you. Let's get you moving in the right direction.Mentioned in this episode:Dr. Allan Bacon on Instagram – @drallanbacon Maui Athletics Lifestyle Nutrition Guide Healthy As Fck*Oonagh Duncan on InstagramFit Feels Good Strong AFLeave me a voice note on Speak Pipe!

This week we're playing a little game of Fact or Fiction.From “all protein is created equal” to “you can only absorb 30g of protein at a time” to whether soreness actually means you had a good workout — I'm breaking down some of the most common fitness, nutrition, and habit beliefs to see which ones are legit and which ones are total myths.I also share a bit about how my week's been (hello, brain fog + luteal phase), why I took a break from the gym, and what I'm focusing on for my own mental and physical health. If you've ever been confused by conflicting health advice online, this episode will help you sort the facts from the fluff — and maybe surprise you along the way.

In this solo Q&A episode, I tackle the most common fat loss mistakes people make when they avoid food tracking, why "doing more" isn't always the answer to stalled progress, and how to know if your workout plan is actually working. I also share personal stories, including a 'bad' habit that taught me a life-changing lesson, nostalgic memories from my childhood, and how living in Portugal has shaped my approach to fitness and life. We'll debunk frustrating fitness myths, expose overrated fat loss hacks, and I'll give you practical advice for staying consistent when life gets busy—without derailing your goals at holidays, weddings, or social events. If you've ever wondered about ‘tone up' workouts, why weight fluctuates even when you're consistent, or the real difference between clean eating and fat loss eating—this episode is for you. Sign up To Become A 1:1 Online Fitness MemberBuy My Book, 'Your Fat Loss Journey Starts Here'Start My Free 14-Day Fat Loss Kick-StarterMy InstagramMy ThreadsMy YouTube channelFree Fitness Guides Timestamps:00:13 Where I've been03:17 What's the biggest mistake people make when they want to lose fat but don't track their food?04:51 How can you tell if your workout program is actually working?06:00 What's a ‘bad' habit I used to have that surprisingly taught me a valuable lesson?07:34 Why is “more workouts” often the wrong answer when progress stalls?09:28 What's my take on ‘tone up' workouts versus actual strength training?10:55 What's a recent life lesson I've learned outside of fitness that changed how I think?13:35 How can you stay consistent with workouts when life constantly gets in the way?15:51 Do gym machines or free weights work better for beginners?16:55 How living in Portugal has shaped my approach to health and life?18:10 What's the most overrated fat loss ‘hack' I see on social media right now?18:32 What's a nostalgic memory from my childhood that still makes me smile today?20:35 What are three common fitness myths that still frustrate me in 2025?21:18 Why does weight fluctuate so much, even when you're “doing everything right”?22:15 How can you enjoy holidays, weddings, and social events without derailing your fitness goals?24:06 What's the real difference between eating ‘clean' and eating for fat loss?

Hey, hey beautiful human! Today we are diving into something I know you've seen all over your feed—fitness advice from TikTok.   And listen, I love a good scroll just like the next woman. TikTok has brought a lot of awareness to fitness and nutrition, which is great… but it's also spread a lot of confusion. And honestly? Some of the most viral tips you've probably heard… are just plain wrong.   So in this episode of Embrace Your Real, I want to set the record straight on three major fitness trends that TikTok has gotten totally wrong. Because I don't want you wasting time, energy, or mental stress following advice that's not actually helping you build the body you want.   What I discuss: The importance of structured strength training. How Carbs can actually help with recovery and sleep. Why Spot targeting fat loss isn't a thing. Progressive overload and rest are key.   If you loved this episode, I know you'll also love episode 56: 7 Common Workout Mistakes You're Probably Making  https://www.juliealedbetter.com/embrace-your-real/7-common-workout-mistakes-youre-probably-making   If you want more from me, be sure to check out...

Is diet soda bad? Do muscles vanish when you stop lifting? Dr. Michael Israetel, bodybuilding professor and fitness expert, answers these questions and more! What We Discuss with Michael Israetel: Common beliefs about artificial sweeteners and diet sodas being inherently harmful are largely unfounded. According to Dr. Israetel, there's no scientific evidence supporting that diet sodas are bad for health when examining both empirical literature and mechanistic studies. Muscle dysmorphia in men is a real issue, though not as prevalent as body image issues in women. It can lead to unhealthy obsessions with appearance and potentially dangerous behaviors, especially when combined with social media pressure and unrealistic comparisons. "Muscle memory" is a real physiological phenomenon based on satellite cell nuclei that remain in muscle tissue even after losing muscle mass. These nuclei never leave once created, making it easier to regain lost muscle even years later. You can't outrun a poor diet with exercise — the body is extremely efficient at conserving energy, making it much harder to burn off excess calories through exercise than it is to simply not consume them in the first place. The key to sustainable fitness is implementing "cleanup phases" rather than extreme dieting. You can maintain a healthy weight by following normal, balanced eating habits most of the time, then doing 3-4 week periods of stricter eating when needed to reset. This approach allows you to enjoy life while staying fit, rather than constantly restricting yourself. And much more...
