I asked Katee, the hormone nerd, to join me on our podcast, hoping that she might be able to help you out, particularly at this point in time when there is a lot of uncertainty, stress and anxiety. Years ago, I was not ok, and she helped me climb, at a leisurely pace, back out of it. Her knowledge, expertise and personal experience in the world of wellness AND performance is incredible, but more than that, she has a unique skill of cutting through what I call the fluff, and speaking my language. I was pretty resistant to what she was saying to me, and I challenge her every time we talk, but this hormone nerd keeps finding ways to educate me. I guarantee that you could learn a thing or eleventy hundred things from Katee.

Katee Pedicini’s work around hormones and their impact on our health, happiness and performance has been pivotal for many women, myself included. Katee is the founder of Holistic Endurance and is based in Melbourne. She’s a triathlon coach and self-confessed hormone nerd who specialises in managing fatigue, stress and hormones to achieve not only performance but optimal health and happiness. And I can hand-on-heart say Katee and her work has changed my life. Katee has been on the podcast in both 2017 and 2018. And if you haven’t listened to either conversation (or perhaps you haven’t heard them recently) I’d encourage you to go back and listen to them first as this episode is the 3rd part of a series, and the first 2 conversations will lay the foundations for what we talk about today. (You can find the previous episodes here and here). This time, we dive into the importance of recovery and rejuvenation. Now on the face of it, it may not seem a ‘sexy’ topic. But the importance of this can’t be understated. You can’t have performance improvements - you can’t get fitter, faster or stronger - without recovery and rejuvenation. And you certainly can’t have happy hormones, weight, mood and energy balance without it. Katee has also developed a Rejuvenation Protocol - which she shares in this conversation - which allows you to track and quantify, via a point score system, your recovery and rejuvenation (and give yourself some bragging rights in the process).

If there is one complaint I hear from women more than any other, it is their frustration about not losing weight despite the hours and hours of training involved with endurance sports (or worse, that they’ve put weight on!). So I wanted to call in an expert for Sparta Chicks Radio this week to explain why this happens — and, most importantly, what you can do to change it. Katee Pedicini runs Holistic Endurance in Melbourne, Australia. She’s a triathlon coach with a degree in Exercise Science who specialises in managing fatigue, stress and hormones in endurance athletes. But this isn’t only a conversation about weight. It’s a conversation about your health and the widespread impact stress has on your body. From your risk of injury and illness, the results you get (or don’t get) from your training, how quickly you recover from hard training sessions, how tired you feel, whether you hit the wall at 3pm and have to reach for coffee/chocolate/sugar, you feel like you're constantly on a short fuse to whether you need a glass of wine at the end of a busy day to wind down. These are all factors that are influenced by the amount of stress in your life and the hormonal response your body has to that stress.

Looks can be deceiving. We all know this to be true and I wonder if we know this to be true because we've seen it play out in our own lives. Struggles experienced as a result of our human condition are quite similar if not exact in their essence. There is this an unseen and often untalked of pressure that we all experience to look a certain way, feel and act a certain way and it is through this unfocused lens that we create our story. With the rise of social media, this has never been truer. Mr. Roarke summed it up perfectly every week on the 70's hit show Fantasy Island when he said, "Smiles everyone, smiles". As in a fantasy, we put on our smiles, take the shot and slide back into the reality of our lives. I'm not saying that every single look is deceiving or every smile is fake, I'm saying that we've all been guilty of posing our lives at one point or another. Our guest today makes no more hiding out of her life and as a result, Tawnee Gibson has assisted many people to move back into alignment with their health. Tawnee was a model, perfectionist, top age group triathlete and the first female to host an endurance sports podcast. She was "doing it all" and living the life, all the while she struggled on the inside. For many years, even Tawnee wasn't fully aware of her struggles and the toll they were taking on her health. In fact, it took her a few rock bottom hits to wake up and take charge of her well-being. In this episode, she shares her downside of the "go, go, go" lifestyle and how she learned to guide herself with a smart mind. She opens up about healing her relationship with food and how triathlon played a role. And most beautifully, she describes her journey to making peace with her health even if that meant sacrificing performance. Tawnee is a Holistic Endurance and Health Coach specializing in working with female athletes suffering from amenorrhea, a condition where the menstrual cycle completely stops sometimes for years. In Tawnee's case, over a decade. She is the host of Endurance Planet podcast, writer, and speaker committed to helping individuals find their best path to full spectrum health. These days Tawnee finds herself training for an entirely new endeavor and we hear all about it on this installment of the YTP.

I was so excited to speak to Katee Pedicini of Holistic Endurance. Katee is an endurance athlete and coach. I was really interested to speak to Katee, because she had adrenal fatigue, and not only managed to heal - but did all this whilst training for an Iron Man! It's really encouraging to hear how, even if your cortisol levels are as depleted as Katee's were, you can recover. Katee also shared her hormonal based approach to training, which is so logical, I'm amazed it isn't common place. We also spoke about gut health, why adrenal fatigue makes it almost impossible to lose weight and which steps to take if you have adrenal fatigue
In Episode 8 of The Real Food Reel we speak with Katee Pedicini from Holistic Endurance. Katee has a Bachelor of Exercise Science with a Major in Sports Psychology and is a Triathlon Australia Level 1 Triathlon Coach. I'm really excited to introduce you to Katee as we work closely together with our athletes and share a really similar philosophy, which you'll learn more about today. Katee and I dive in deep to real food for performance, efficient training and periodisation and how women should be structuring their training around their menstrual cycle. We recognise the importance of recovery, and this applies to all athletes – if you don't have a structured recovery week every four or five weeks you are asking for trouble!
