Welcome to the second episode of the Coach's Corner Series! Today's episode is the second episode in our Coach's Corner series, and this is where I am sitting down with our just incredible functional health coaches, functional health practitioners from the Vital Spark coaching team, and we are exploring some of the most common questions, topics, challenges, things that we see come up in the world of health and wellness.  One of my favorite things about these conversations and this opportunity to be able to do these interviews with our coaching team, is that it really gives you all the opportunity to learn from the women who are in the trenches with our clients day in, day out. And while across our whole team, we, we share the same philosophies and approaches to functional health.  Each coach really does bring their own unique experience, expertise, and just unique perspectives to the table.

Helena Stormanns' story is a remarkable one. She belongs to a generation of horsemen and horsewomen who learned their craft through hard work, observation, and years of experience. Before she ever rode ponies, she was mucking out stables at her local riding school. Before owning her first competition horse, she was riding ponies that belonged to other people.After competing at the highest level for many years—including appearances in Grand Prix classes and at the World Championships—Helena chose a different path. Rather than pursuing her own competitive ambitions, she dedicated herself to helping the next generation of riders reach theirs.Today, she is one of those exceptional coaches whose influence extends far beyond the arena. She has guided—and continues to guide—some of the sport's finest riders, including Jessica Springsteen, Michael Duffy, Petronella Andersson, and, more recently, the incredibly talented Nina Mallevaey.What struck us most throughout this conversation was not only Helena's depth of knowledge, but also her humility, her generosity, and the clarity with which she speaks about horses, riders, and the sport itself.We left this interview inspired, and we truly hope you will too.If you enjoy this episode, we'd love to hear from you.

Lorsqu'on évoque les sports équestres, notre regard se tourne presque instinctivement vers le saut d'obstacles, le dressage ou le concours complet. Ce sont les disciplines les plus médiatisées, les plus suivies, celles qui occupent le devant de la scène.

Welcome to the first episode of the Coach's Corner Series! This is a special series where I'm sitting down with the incredible functional health coaches and practitioners from the Vital Spark Coaching team to dive deeper into some of the topics we help clients navigate every day. One of the things I love most about our team is that each coach brings their own unique experiences, expertise, and perspective to supporting women through real-life struggles with hormones, metabolism, gut health, energy, body composition, and so much more. These conversations are designed to bring you behind the scenes and give you access to the knowledge, insights, and practical strategies they use with clients every day. Today I'm joined by Jodi Stonehocker and we are going to be talking all things mind body connection. If this is a new area of you, you're really going to enjoy this episode we believe because it's going to connect a lot of dots that a lot of traditional medicine doesn't. We'll also be discussing how mindset affects the body and physiology, the role of hyper vigilance, and where to start with mind body coaching.   Time Stamps:   (2:22) What Mind Body Coaching Really Is (6:32) How Mindset Affects The Body and Physiology (18:10) Hyper Vigilance (21:52) Supplements, Medication, and Peptides (24:27) Where To Start (28:12) Loving Yourself For Who You Are --------------------- Find Out More Information on Vital Spark Coaching --------------------- Follow @vanessagfitness on Instagram for daily fitness tips & motivation.  --------------------- Download Our FREE Metabolism-Boosting Workout Program --------------------- Join the Women's Metabolism Secrets Facebook Community for 25+ videos teaching you how to start losing fat without hating your life! --------------------- Click here to send me a message on Facebook and we'll see how I can help or what best free resources I can share! --------------------- Interested in 1-on-1 Coaching with my team of Metabolism & Hormone Experts?

Você acredita que um cavalo pode ensinar mais sobre liderança do que muitos treinamentos corporativos? No novo episódio do Fazendas Infinitas, Artur Toledo recebe Izabela Inforzato, psicóloga especializada em desenvolvimento humano no agronegócio, e Érica Pauletto, treinadora de cavalos e especialista em Horsemanship. Durante a conversa, elas mostram como os cavalos podem revelar padrões de comportamento, fortalecer lideranças e transformar equipes dentro das fazendas. Mais do que uma conversa sobre cavalos, este episódio apresenta uma nova forma de enxergar a gestão de pessoas no agronegócio. Você vai entender por que os maiores desafios de uma fazenda nem sempre estão na operação, mas na forma como as pessoas se relacionam, se comunicam e exercem a liderança. Neste episódio você vai aprender: ✔ Como o cavalo reflete o comportamento humano. ✔ O papel da liderança no desenvolvimento das equipes. ✔ A diferença entre liderar pelo medo e liderar pela confiança. ✔ Como desenvolver pessoas através do Horsemanship. ✔ O impacto da comunicação na gestão das fazendas. ✔ Histórias reais de transformação vividas no campo.

When a horse develops a behavioural problem, most of us reach for training. More lessons. More exercises. Better technique. A different method. But what if the horse isn't expressing a training problem at all? What if they're expressing a living problem? In this episode of Horse First, Lockie Phillips explores one of the most overlooked realities in modern horsemanship: horses spend far more time living in their management systems than they do being trained within them. From difficult-to-catch horses and separation anxiety to tension, explosiveness, and so-called laziness, Lockie examines how movement, forage, social contact, comfort, and predictability shape behaviour long before a trainer enters the picture. This is not an argument against training. It's an argument for looking at the whole horse. Because before we ask how to change a behaviour, it may be worth asking what problem that behaviour is solving for the horse. Sometimes the answer isn't a better technique. Sometimes it's a better life. And remarkably often, when the life improves, the behaviour follows. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Named a “legendary Lakota horseman” by the Oglala Sioux Tribe, Fred Ecoffey (Oglala Lakota) has enjoyed a celebrated 68-year career as a jockey. After winning his debut race in 1957, Ecoffey went on to compete in more than 17,500 races, earning inductions into both the Nebraska Racing Hall of Fame and the South Dakota Sports Hall of Fame. Ecoffey, 88, has retired from professional racing, though he still helps one of his daughters with her barrel racing from time to time. Today, a new generation of young Native jockeys is taking up the mantle and finding success on the racetrack. Among them is Talliyah Timentwa (Colville Tribes), a two-time national Indian Relay champion who made her debut at Washington state’s Emerald Downs racecourse last year. We'll speak with Native horse riders about cultivating the art of horsemanship across disciplines, from relay races and jockeying to the sport of dressage.

Check Out Sahil Bloom's Newsletter That Inspired This Episode What if having more choices is actually making you less satisfied with the life you're building?  In this episode, we explore a fascinating psychological study from Harvard that challenges the common belief that keeping your options open always leads to better outcomes.  You'll discover why our minds respond differently to permanent decisions versus reversible ones, and how that shapes our happiness, confidence, and commitment.  We also examine how modern technology has created a world overflowing with options, from careers and relationships to health advice and personal growth.  While endless possibilities can feel empowering, they can also leave us constantly wondering if something better is just around the corner.  This episode introduces the idea of the "eject button mentality", the temptation to abandon meaningful pursuits the moment they become uncomfortable or uncertain.  We discuss why the end of the honeymoon phase isn't necessarily a sign that you've chosen the wrong path, but often the point where real growth begins.  You'll learn how to distinguish between healthy persistence and knowing when it's truly time to move on. Rather than making major decisions in moments of frustration, we'll explore the value of evaluating your circumstances with a clear and steady perspective.  If you've ever questioned a relationship, career, business, or personal goal simply because the excitement faded, this conversation offers a fresh way to think about commitment.    Time Stamps:   (3:02) The Eject Button Mentality (9:32) My Thoughts On This Article (14:08) What Commitment Looks Like (23:02) Having A Trusted Advisor --------------------- Find Out More Information on Vital Spark Coaching --------------------- Follow @vanessagfitness on Instagram for daily fitness tips & motivation.  --------------------- Download Our FREE Metabolism-Boosting Workout Program --------------------- Join the Women's Metabolism Secrets Facebook Community for 25+ videos teaching you how to start losing fat without hating your life! --------------------- Click here to send me a message on Facebook and we'll see how I can help or what best free resources I can share! --------------------- Interested in 1-on-1 Coaching with my team of Metabolism & Hormone Experts?

Buster McLaury figures he has started nearly 10,000 colts under saddle. Before becoming a full-time trainer and clinician, he cowboyed in the thick brush country of West Texas. He says there's nothing he loves more than working cattle horseback, and for many years he made a living working for legendary outfits such as the Four Sixes, the Triangle and the JA. However, his career shifted about 30 years ago when he began training horses for ranches such as the Moorhouse and Pitchfork. He also began teaching horsemanship clinics, inspired by gentler methods he learned from renowned horseman Ray Hunt. McLaury and his wife, Sheryl, have traveled throughout the country and hosted many horsemanship clinics at their home in Paducah, Texas. They have started colts for legendary ranches such as the Haythorn in Nebraska, the Muleshoe in Texas, the Parker in Hawaii, the Stuart in Oklahoma, and the Waggoner in Texas. Today, McLaury continues to start colts, teach horsemanship, and work cattle whenever he gets the chance. A big thank you goes out to our sponsor, 100th Meridian Ranching 100thmeridianranching.com

What if the biggest thing holding back your gut health isn't the supplement you're missing but the habits you repeat every single day? In this episode, I'm breaking down the simple, foundational practices that support healthy digestion long before you ever consider probiotics, parasite cleanses, or specialized gut testing. We often get asked which supplements or lab tests someone should start with, but the truth is that most people haven't built the daily habits their digestive system needs to function well in the first place. I'll explain why digestion actually begins before your first bite of food and how stress, distractions, and eating on the go can interfere with your body's ability to properly break down and absorb nutrients. We also dive into why slowing down, chewing your food thoroughly, and creating a calm eating environment can dramatically improve bloating, gas, reflux, and other common digestive complaints. From there, we'll talk about why your gut thrives on consistency, how your circadian rhythm and migrating motor complex work together to keep your digestive system healthy, and why constant snacking may be working against you. I'll also share practical strategies to support your gut between meals through movement, hydration, stress management, sleep, and recovery.  Finally, we'll discuss how nutrition should be tailored to the feedback your body is giving you, whether you're struggling with constipation, diarrhea, or other digestive symptoms. Think of these habits as the foundation of a house. Supplements and advanced testing have their place, but they're far more effective when they're built on top of healthy daily routines.  If you've been searching for better digestion, less bloating, and a healthier gut, this episode will give you actionable steps you can start implementing today.   Time Stamps:   (1:32) Bets On Pregnancy Date (5:07) Sharp Right Turn Into Gut Health (8:23) A Digestive-Friendly Environment (14:07) Slowing Down Our Eating (19:24) Build A Rhythm Your Gut Can Predict (20:57) Spacing Out Meals (23:12) Supporting Your Gut Between Meals (26:27) Feed The Outcome You Want --------------------- Find Out More Information on Vital Spark Coaching --------------------- Follow @vanessagfitness on Instagram for daily fitness tips & motivation.  --------------------- Download Our FREE Metabolism-Boosting Workout Program --------------------- Join the Women's Metabolism Secrets Facebook Community for 25+ videos teaching you how to start losing fat without hating your life! --------------------- Click here to send me a message on Facebook and we'll see how I can help or what best free resources I can share! --------------------- Interested in 1-on-1 Coaching with my team of Metabolism & Hormone Experts?

Depuis la création de I am an Equestrian, nous avons eu la chance de recevoir plusieurs des grands sélectionneurs qui ont marqué l'histoire récente du saut d'obstacles français. Jean-Maurice Bonneau, Philippe Guerdat, Henk Nooren… Des personnalités qui ont accompagné certaines des plus belles générations de cavaliers français et contribué à construire les succès de notre sport.

Dans la vie des cavaliers comme dans celles de tous les autres athlètes, les championnats du monde ont une saveur bien particulière. Organisés tous les 4 ans en alternance avec les Jeux olympiques et paralympiques, ils sont le point d'orgue qui vient clôturer des années d'effort et de travail. On y représente son pays, dans l'espoir de faire vibrer son hymne et de porter haut les couleurs de la France face aux meilleurs athlètes de la planète

What if the reason tracking macros isn't working anymore has nothing to do with your discipline? In this episode, I break down one of the most common frustrations I hear from women: "I used to track macros, lose weight, and see results. Now I do the exact same thing and nothing happens.".  I want to share the story of how I once believed macros were the magic solution to fat loss, only to realize they were never the answer. They were simply a tool. We'll talk about why there is no perfect macro split, how the body constantly adapts to what we do, and why staying on the same nutrition plan for months or years can actually become part of the problem. I explain how functional nutrition often involves strategically changing calories, carbohydrates, fats, and protein to stay ahead of those adaptations rather than fighting against them. You'll learn why there may be a time for low-carb eating, a time for higher calories, a time for lower protein, and a time for a more balanced approach. Most importantly, we'll discuss how understanding macros can still be incredibly valuable when they're used within the right context. Today, I personally track my macros, not to lose weight, but to make sure I'm eating enough and maintaining the right balance for my current season of life.  If you've been wondering why your old nutrition strategy isn't producing the same results anymore, this episode will help you understand what changed and how to start working with your body instead of against it.   Time Stamps:   (1:47) Life Updates (3:06) My Macro Tracking Journey (4:47) Why Macro Tracking Gets A Bad Rap (8:22) Recent Client Example (12:32) Where To Start --------------------- Find Out More Information on Vital Spark Coaching --------------------- Follow @vanessagfitness on Instagram for daily fitness tips & motivation.  --------------------- Download Our FREE Metabolism-Boosting Workout Program --------------------- Join the Women's Metabolism Secrets Facebook Community for 25+ videos teaching you how to start losing fat without hating your life! --------------------- Click here to send me a message on Facebook and we'll see how I can help or what best free resources I can share! --------------------- Interested in 1-on-1 Coaching with my team of Metabolism & Hormone Experts?

In this episode of In The LOOP Podcast, Jordan Jo Hollabaugh sits down with one of barrel racing's most respected champions, Sherry Cervi. A 19-time NFR qualifier and four-time world champion, Sherry has built a career defined by great horses, quiet confidence, deep faith, and the people who helped shape her along the way. From growing up on Potter Ranch with rodeo in her blood, to learning horsemanship from her mom and mental toughness from her dad, Sherry reflects on the foundation that carried her through decades of competition. She shares stories behind some of the legendary horses that changed her life, including Troubles, Hawk, De Niro, and Stingray, while also opening up about the breeding program her father believed in so deeply. From De Niro's lasting influence to Stingray's next generation, Sherry talks about what it means to carry on a legacy through horses that continue to impact the industry. This conversation also goes far beyond gold buckles. Sherry talks about the importance of appreciating the small moments, staying grateful for the people who help you along the way, and using your story to give hope to someone else. Through loss, purpose, faith, and the western industry that has surrounded her, she shares what it means to keep showing up, keep learning, and keep giving back. ----In The LOOP Podcast hosted by Jordan Jo Hollabaugh, is inspired by the western culture and breakaway roping lifestyle.

Everyone wants to know how "bounce back" after having a baby. The truth is, that's not the goal. In this episode, I'm sharing my postpartum fitness plan and the approach I'll be taking during those first weeks and months after birth. Instead of jumping straight into workouts, fat loss, or trying to get my body back as quickly as possible, I'll be prioritizing recovery, sleep, healing, and listening to what my body actually needs. I'll walk you through what my first few weeks postpartum may look like, including why I plan to spend most of the first week resting, when I might begin incorporating light walks and mobility work, and how I'll use my body's feedback, not a rigid timeline, to guide the process. We'll also talk about why pelvic floor health is at the center of my recovery plan and why I believe every woman should consider working with a pelvic floor physical therapist before problems arise, not just after. I'll share why I won't be rushing back into intense cardio, despite the pressure many women feel to lose baby weight as quickly as possible. We'll also discuss the truth about waist trainers, why external support can actually delay core recovery, and what a healthier approach to rebuilding strength looks like. Most importantly, I'm talking about something I think every new mom struggles with: comparison. Because no two postpartum journeys are the same, and comparing your recovery, body, or timeline to someone else's is one of the fastest ways to create unnecessary stress and frustration. If you're pregnant, postpartum, or simply curious about a more sustainable approach to recovery after birth, this episode will give you an honest look at how I'm thinking about this next chapter and why slower may actually be the smarter path forward.   Time Stamps:   (2:11) My Postpartum Fitness Plan (3:22) The Mental Side (9:19) Getting Your Body “Back” (11:20) Comparison In Postpartum (13:32) Sharing The Postpartum Journey --------------------- Find Out More Information on Vital Spark Coaching --------------------- Follow @vanessagfitness on Instagram for daily fitness tips & motivation.  --------------------- Download Our FREE Metabolism-Boosting Workout Program --------------------- Join the Women's Metabolism Secrets Facebook Community for 25+ videos teaching you how to start losing fat without hating your life! --------------------- Click here to send me a message on Facebook and we'll see how I can help or what best free resources I can share! --------------------- Interested in 1-on-1 Coaching with my team of Metabolism & Hormone Experts?

Send us Fan MailTonya Johnston, Mental Skills Coach speaks with researcher Janet Jones, Ph.D. about her new book, A Horse's World: A Neuroscientist's Journey Into the Equine Mind.  Brought to you by Taylor, Harris Insurance Services.Host: Tonya Johnston, Visit her Website, Facebook and buy her book Inside Your Ride Guest:  Welcome to the creative home of Janet Jones' books including her latest effort, A Horse's World: A Neuroscientist's Journey Into the Equine Mind, and the international bestseller Horse Brain, Human Brain: The Neuroscience of Horsemanship. With her background as neuroscientist, horse trainer, and writer, Janet is uniquely positioned to apply brain function to the training of horses and riders. Through experience with about a thousand horses, she has developed training techniques that work with--instead of against--equine brains. In 2014, she took this knowledge public and now teaches brain-based horsemanship all over the world, in person, online, and in writing.Janet's newest book, A Horse's World, introduces the general public to these magnificent prey animals through the real-life narrative of her horse True North, as he progressed from a naïve colt to an adult horse who understands human expectations. Along the way, it offers new knowledge to scientists, equine professionals, and curious general readers about how horses think, feel, learn, interact, and connect with humans. In proposal form, A Horse's World became the object of a bidding war among eight top publishing houses in New York. All horsemanship rests on mutual interaction between horse and human brains. By understanding how our horses' brains work, and how their brains differ from ours, we can ride and handle horses more safelytrain more effectivelyimprove performance in all equine disciplinesprotect our animals' comfort and welfareencourage mutual trust between prey and predator speciesdevelop brain-to-brain communication between species, andcreate stronger horse-and-human teams.All horses and humans have brains and must use them regardless of discipline. For that reason, brain-based horsemanship is as relevant to Western riders as English, as important to headers and heelers or working draft breeds as to dressage champions, racehorses, Grand Prix jumpers, and backyard pasture ornaments. Anyone who works with horses should learn how equine and human brains work in tandem.Janet Jones earned her Ph.D. in cognitive science from UCLA and taught the neuroscience of perception, language, memory, and thought for 23 years. She  trained horses at a large stable early in her career, and later ran a successful horse training business of her own. She has schooled hundreds of green or difficult horses, rides many breeds and disciplines, and has competed in hunter, jumper, halter, western riding, and reining. She uses the basic principles of dressage in all horse sports. Janet developed brain-based horsemanship and offers it to horse enthusiasts in Horse Brain, Human Brain. In her latest book, A Horse's World: A Neuroscientist's Journey Into the Equine Mind, she broadens her perspective to invite the general public to learn why some of us love horses so much.Subscribe To: The Plaid Horse MagazineTitle Sponsor: Taylor, Harris Insurance ServicesSponsors: Zoetis, Sentinel, Chewy and Mojo Joint Join us at an upcoming Plaidcast in Person live event!theplaidhorse.comThank you so much for joining us today on the Plaidcast.

What if the amount of exercise you actually need for long-term health is far less than you've been led to believe? In this episode, I'm breaking down some fascinating claims from longevity expert Dr. Amy Killen that completely challenge the "more is better" approach many women have been taught when it comes to fitness. One statistic in particular caught my attention: her claim that women may achieve most of the longevity benefits of resistance training with surprisingly little weekly volume. We'll dive into what the research actually says about strength training, longevity, and mortality risk, including why multiple studies seem to show that the biggest health benefits occur at relatively modest amounts of resistance training. I'll also share why, in my own experience and in working with clients, two to three strength-training sessions per week seems to be the sweet spot for recovery, consistency, and long-term results. We'll talk about the trap of comparing yourself to genetic outliers, influencers, and fitness competitors whose training volumes often aren't realistic or necessary for the average woman. I'll also unpack the recommendation of 150 minutes of moderate aerobic exercise per week, why walking may be one of the most powerful longevity tools available, and my thoughts on where high-intensity exercise fits into the picture. Most importantly, I want to make the case that prioritizing health often leads to better physique outcomes over the long term than constantly chasing more workouts, more volume, and more intensity. We'll also discuss the real risks of overtraining, including hormone disruption, cycle irregularities, bone loss, and the cumulative stress excessive exercise can place on the body. If you've ever felt like you're falling behind because you're not doing enough, this episode might be the permission slip you need. Sometimes the path to better health, better recovery, and a better body isn't doing more. It's doing the right things consistently for years.   Time Stamps:   (3:02) Being Prepared For Baby Girl   (4:26) Women's Needs For Exercise   (8:22) Going Against The Stereotypical Advice   (12:37) Prioritizing Health Goals   (17:42) House Analogy   (20:07) HIIT Training --------------------- Find Out More Information on Vital Spark Coaching --------------------- Follow @vanessagfitness on Instagram for daily fitness tips & motivation.  --------------------- Download Our FREE Metabolism-Boosting Workout Program --------------------- Join the Women's Metabolism Secrets Facebook Community for 25+ videos teaching you how to start losing fat without hating your life! --------------------- Click here to send me a message on Facebook and we'll see how I can help or what best free resources I can share! --------------------- Interested in 1-on-1 Coaching with my team of Metabolism & Hormone Experts?

In this thought-provoking conversation, we sit down with renowned horseman Josh Nichol to explore the ideas that have shaped his approach to horses, people, and life.Josh shares his journey from growing up with horses in remote Canada to studying under Harry Whitney and developing his own framework for understanding horse behaviour through mind, space, and pressure.We discuss the difference between lightness and softness, why behaviour is often the symptom rather than the problem, how tension affects movement and soundness, and why true horsemanship begins with understanding what the horse is experiencing rather than simply trying to control what the horse is doing.This episode also explores leadership, liberty, personal growth, biomechanics, emotional regulation, and the responsibility we have as humans to create clarity, confidence, and understanding for our horses.Whether you are interested in groundwork, ridden performance, horse behaviour, or simply becoming a better horseperson, this conversation is packed with insights that will challenge and inspire you.To find out more about Josh Nichol Relational Horsemanship:Website: joshnichol.comFacebook: AHorsemansPursuitInstagram: @nicholhorsemanshipContact: info@joshnichol.comTo find out more about Canter Therapy Podcast and the hosts - Dr Shelley Appleton and Kathryn Christieson and support the show, visit the website:⁠https://www.cantertherapy.com.au

Most women who struggle with binge eating never talk about it. I'm changing that today. In this episode, I get personal about my own journey with binge eating, tracing it back to my early twenties and walking through the slow, nonlinear process of working through it over the past decade. This is not a quick fix episode. There is no finish line moment, no single breakthrough that made it all click. What there is, is an honest look at what actually moved the needle over time. I break down the three things that made the biggest difference in my healing: releasing the good food and bad food rules that were quietly running the show, going through a functional reverse diet to address what was happening on a physiological level, and reframing the stories I was telling myself after a binge episode. I also dig into something that does not get talked about enough, which is how your body's overall toxic load and sensitivity to certain foods can actually reinforce disordered eating patterns without you even realizing it. If you have ever felt completely out of control around food, finished a vacation feeling more guilt than joy, or wondered if you will ever stop the restrict and binge cycle, this episode is for you. You are not broken, and you are not alone.   Time Stamps:   (2:52) Visiting Mama Pozos At Hilton Head  (7:27) Defining Binge Eating  (12:22) Biggest Difference Makers With Controlling Binging  (14:14) Letting Go Of Food Rules  (16:50) Functional Reverse Dieting --------------------- Find Out More Information on Vital Spark Coaching --------------------- Follow @vanessagfitness on Instagram for daily fitness tips & motivation.  --------------------- Download Our FREE Metabolism-Boosting Workout Program --------------------- Join the Women's Metabolism Secrets Facebook Community for 25+ videos teaching you how to start losing fat without hating your life! --------------------- Click here to send me a message on Facebook and we'll see how I can help or what best free resources I can share! --------------------- Interested in 1-on-1 Coaching with my team of Metabolism & Hormone Experts?

Il y a des rendez-vous qui dépassent le sport.Des échéances qui concentrent des années de travail, de sacrifices, de remises en question, d'espoirs silencieux et de rêves immenses.Les Championnats du monde font partie de ceux-là.Du 11 au 23 août, les meilleurs chevaux, cavaliers, voltigeurs et meneurs de la planète se retrouveront à Aix-la-Chapelle, lieu mythique des sports équestres, pour défendre les couleurs de leur nation. Puis le 28 novembre, c'est à Al Ula en Arabie Saoudite, que les Bleus de l'endurance tenteront de décrocher un nouveau titre mondial. Cette année, avec la Fédération Française d'Équitation, nous avons eu envie de vous emmener là où tout commence vraiment : dans les coulisses de la préparation au très haut niveau.Bienvenue dans Entre Cavaliers, une série portée par les cavaliers et staffs de l'équipe de France.Ces 10 épisodes ont été imaginés par I am an Equestrian et la FFE pour entrer au cœur de l'équipe de France d'équitation, comprendre ce qui se joue avant une grande échéance, et découvrir ce que le haut niveau exige réellement des femmes, des hommes… et des chevaux.Pendant plusieurs semaines, nous allons partir à la rencontre des grandes disciplines qui font vibrer notre sport — le saut d'obstacles, le concours complet, le dressage — mais aussi ouvrir les portes de disciplines plus confidentielles, moins médiatisées, et pourtant absolument fascinantes : le para-dressage, la voltige, l'attelage, l'endurance.On parlera de relation avec les chevaux, de bien-être animal, de préparation mentale, de méthodes d'entraînement, de collectif, de confiance, de résilience, de performance.On parlera aussi d'émotions. Parce qu'avant les médailles, avant les hymnes, avant les podiums… il y a des histoires humaines. Des histoires de passion, d'engagement total et de quête d'excellence.Pour nous, cette série représente énormément.Parce qu'elle nous permet de raconter ce sport autrement. Plus en profondeur grâce à la générosité et l'accessibilité de nos plus grands champions. Et parce que collaborer avec la Fédération Française d'Équitation autour d'un projet comme celui-ci est une immense fierté.On entend souvent ce dicton “il faut tout un village pour élever un enfant”, mais pour élever un cheval, pour le faire naître, pour lui garantir des bases solides, pour guider, accompagner son évolution, ne faut-il pas tout un village ? Dans cet épisode de Entre Cavaliers, enregistré en partenariat avec la Fédération Française d'Équitation, on a eu envie de visiter les coulisses, de s'immiscer derrière le rideau, là où tout commence. On voudrait vous raconter l'histoire non pas d'un cavalier, mais cette fois d'un cheval, un cheval qui peut-être participera aux Championnats du Monde, dont on connaît le nom, le palmarès, la force. Floyd des Prés. Et pour livrer le récit le plus complet, il nous faut rencontrer tous ceux qui ont participé à lui dessiner cette voie royale, celle de champion.I am an Equestrian est le premier podcast pour les passionnés d'équitation et de sports équestres. On interviewe les plus grandes cavaliers, hommes et femmes de chevaux. Déjà plus de 140 épisodes

✨ Il y a des cavaliers dont l'histoire semble presque écrite à l'avance.Ils sont nés dans le milieu, élevés dans de grandes et belles écuries, baignés dans le haut niveau du sport ou dans une logique de performance, déjà. Et puis il y a ceux qui construisent leur chemin autrement

What if burning more calories had less to do with punishing workouts and more to do with how you live your everyday life?  In this episode, we're breaking down 10 low-effort ways to support your metabolism without adding hours of cardio or exhausting yourself in the gym. Because the truth is, your metabolism is running 24/7 and small habits repeated consistently can have a much bigger impact than most people realize. We start with five hobbies that naturally increase calorie burn and improve metabolic health, including hiking, swimming, cycling, dancing, and even hobbies like knitting that help regulate stress and reduce mindless snacking. You'll learn why activities that support cortisol regulation, muscle activation, and nervous system balance can quietly improve fat loss and energy levels behind the scenes. Then we shift into five simple lifestyle strategies that can significantly change the way your body uses energy throughout the day. From walking after meals and increasing NEAT (non-exercise activity thermogenesis) to prioritizing sleep, hydration, and even small micro-movements, this episode explains how metabolism is influenced by far more than workouts alone. We also break down the science in a way that actually makes sense covering blood sugar regulation, insulin, cortisol, thermogenesis, and why sleep may be one of the most underrated fat-loss tools available. Most importantly, this conversation reframes the idea that improving your metabolism has to mean doing more. Sometimes it's about working with your body instead of constantly fighting it. If you've been feeling overwhelmed by all-or-nothing fitness advice, this episode will help you see that sustainable progress often comes from the simplest shifts. Your metabolism doesn't just respond to exercise. It responds to your environment, your habits, your stress levels, and the way you move through everyday life.   Time Stamps:   (3:17) #1: Hiking (5:09) #2: Knitting (6:53) #3: Swimming (9:06) #4: Cycling (10:46) #5: Dancing (13:20) #6: Walking After Meals (13:52) #7: Standing More (14:47) #8: Drinking Cold Water (15:32) #9: Fidgeting (17:07) #10: Prioritizing Quality Sleep (19:02) Functional Fat Loss Solutions Masterclass --------------------- Find Out More Information on Vital Spark Coaching --------------------- Follow @vanessagfitness on Instagram for daily fitness tips & motivation.  --------------------- Download Our FREE Metabolism-Boosting Workout Program --------------------- Join the Women's Metabolism Secrets Facebook Community for 25+ videos teaching you how to start losing fat without hating your life! --------------------- Click here to send me a message on Facebook and we'll see how I can help or what best free resources I can share! --------------------- Interested in 1-on-1 Coaching with my team of Metabolism & Hormone Experts?

Send us Fan MailFear doesn't always look like nerves. Sometimes it looks like freezing in a barn aisle, avoiding eye contact with a horse, or feeling your chest tighten the second a muzzle reaches toward your hand. Today we're sharing a story that starts exactly there and ends with something that still surprises us: Sandy Bernard now owns two horses and handles them with growing calm and skill at her facility in Quitman, Texas on Lake Fork.Sandy and I talk through what her fear felt like, where it may have started. We connect the dots between human anxiety and horse behavior, because horses are prey animals built for vigilance and flight. That shared instinct becomes the bridge to better horsemanship: when you understand fear, you can learn to lead with steadiness, clarity, and empathy instead of force.You'll also hear the practical path Sandy used to rebuild confidence around horses: tiny daily stretches, journaling victories, learning to be comfortable with being uncomfortable, and creating a calm communication plan with her husband so tension doesn't spill into the horses. We cover real new-owner moments too, from the early learning curve of horse care to how wind, environment, and energy changes can shake confidence and how to respond without quitting.If you've ever dreamed of having a horse but felt held back by fear, this conversation is for you. Subscribe, share it with a friend who needs a steady push, and leave a review with the small brave step you're going to take next.Support the showMay all your blues be ribbons

In this deeply personal episode, I'm sharing the full arc of my health journey, from my days as a Division I equestrian athlete at UGA to the years of frustration, confusion, and rock bottom moments that ultimately led me to functional health.  I open up about how the pressure to maintain a certain body composition as a college athlete first pushed me toward disordered eating habits, setting the stage for years of weight loss resistance. After graduating and moving to Atlanta, I threw myself into CrossFit, convinced that more intensity was the answer, only to find myself getting puffier, more inflamed, and increasingly exhausted.  Despite working out harder than ever, I wasn't seeing results, and my body was sending signals I didn't yet know how to read. Chronic digestive issues, debilitating fatigue, brain fog, and social anxiety began compounding on top of each other, leaving me feeling like I might be making it all up.  A series of dismissive doctor's appointments left me feeling invalidated and completely stuck, including one where I was simply told to eat less and exercise more. Coming off birth control without proper hormonal support triggered a new wave of symptoms, including severe acne and irregular cycles, adding yet another layer to an already overwhelming season.  I describe the emotional toll of watching life move forward, friends getting married and starting families, while I felt too depleted and self-conscious to fully show up. It wasn't until I discovered functional health and began running comprehensive labs that I finally got the validation I had been desperate for.  Something was genuinely wrong, and it wasn't in my head.  I then invested deeply, financially and personally, in learning everything I could about the connection between hormones, gut health, metabolism, and the immune system. That journey ultimately led to a 40-pound transformation, not through restriction and overtraining, but by working out less, eating more, and addressing the true root causes.  Those hard-won lessons became the foundation for the one-stop functional health program I built for my clients. Now pregnant with my daughter, I reflect on how healing my own body is something I'll be able to pass on in ways I never imagined.  If any part of my story sounds familiar, I want you to know: you are not alone, and there is a path to the other side.   Time Stamps:   (5:32) Going Through Weight Loss Resistance (5:54) Georgia Bulldog (9:02) Taking Health More Seriously (14:22) The Crossfit Girl (22:04) Having The IUD Taken Out (28:52) Being Sick All The Time (29:34) Investing In Health Coaching (31:32) The Functional Health Space (35:50) Our Team Now (40:16) Reach Out To Us --------------------- Find Out More Information on Vital Spark Coaching --------------------- Follow @vanessagfitness on Instagram for daily fitness tips & motivation.  --------------------- Download Our FREE Metabolism-Boosting Workout Program --------------------- Join the Women's Metabolism Secrets Facebook Community for 25+ videos teaching you how to start losing fat without hating your life! --------------------- Click here to send me a message on Facebook and we'll see how I can help or what best free resources I can share! --------------------- Interested in 1-on-1 Coaching with my team of Metabolism & Hormone Experts?

Aujourd'hui, nous vous proposons un nouvel épisode hors-série de I am an Equestrian autour d'un sujet aussi vaste qu'essentiel : celui de la formation des professionnels du cheval.Comment forme-t-on aujourd'hui les enseignants, cavaliers, responsables d'écuries et acteurs de la filière équine ?Et surtout, comment cette formation doit-elle évoluer dans un monde où les attentes sociétales, environnementales et éthiques autour du bien-être animal prennent une place de plus en plus importante ?Parce qu'aujourd'hui, le débat ne se limite plus uniquement aux besoins fondamentaux du cheval — les fameux “3F” : friends, freedom and forage.Il nous pousse aussi à réfléchir à la place du cheval dans le travail avec l'Homme, à notre manière d'apprendre, de transmettre, d'enseigner et d'évoluer ensemble.Cet épisode nous a été proposé par UniLaSalle, un institut polytechnique engagé au cœur des enjeux de transition, qui rassemble aujourd'hui plusieurs domaines d'expertise : agronomie, environnement, alimentation et santé, numérique, énergie, géologie… mais aussi médecine vétérinaire et filière équine.Avec ses 4 campus, ses 4000 étudiants et ses nombreuses formations spécialisées, UniLaSalle s'impose comme une nouvelle génération de grande école tournée vers les grands défis du vivant.Depuis 2024, le campus de Rouen propose notamment le Mastère Spécialisé® Sciences et Management de la Filière Équine, pensé pour former les futurs managers et décideurs de la filière. Et dès 2027, UniLaSalle ouvrira une formation professionnelle inédite dédiée à l'éthique des pratiques équines, pour accompagner les profondes mutations que connaît aujourd'hui notre secteur.Pour nourrir cette réflexion, nous avons réuni autour de cette table plusieurs intervenantes aux regards très différents — et profondément complémentaires.Nous accueillons d'abord Charlène Lourd, Chargée de mission en ingénierie de la formation à UniLaSalle, à l'initiative de cette discussion autour de l'évolution des pratiques pédagogiques et professionnelles dans la filière équine.À ses côtés, Sophie Barreau, de l'École Blondeau, nous apportera son regard sur la transmission du savoir équestre, la notion de travail pour le cheval, et ce que la relation homme-cheval peut produire lorsqu'elle est pensée comme une démarche réellement partagée.Nous recevons également Céline Magaud Druon, formatrice expérimentée et responsable communication et relations internationales à la MFR de Fonteveille, qui partagera son expérience auprès des jeunes en formation initiale et son regard sur les évolutions du terrain depuis plus de vingt ans.Enfin, Lucie Le Corre, fondatrice d'Equimova, nous parlera des nouvelles approches de formation autour d'une équitation plus juste, plus consciente, plus respectueuse du fonctionnement du cheval.Ensemble, nous allons essayer de comprendre ce que signifie réellement “former” dans le monde du cheval aujourd'hui.Former techniquement, évidemment. Mais aussi former des regards, des sensibilités, des responsabilités.Bienvenue dans ce nouvel épisode hors-série de I am an Equestrian.I am an Equestrian est le premier podcast pour les passionnés d'équitation et de sports équestres.

Plus en profondeur grâce à la générosité et l'accessibilité de nos plus grands champions. Et parce que collaborer avec la Fédération Française d'Équitation autour d'un projet comme celui-ci est une immense fierté.La différence entre un grand champion et les autres ne se joue pas toujours sur la technique. Souvent, elle se joue dans la tête, dans la capacité à gérer la pression, à faire taire le doute, à continuer d'avancer quand l'enjeu devient immense. Et dans les sports équestres, cette pression a quelque chose de particulier : elle se partage avec un cheval, qui ressent lui aussi nos émotions, nos tensions, nos hésitations.Dans cet épisode de Entre Cavaliers, nous avons voulu parler de préparation mentale. Mais pas uniquement comme un outil réservé au très haut niveau. Nous avons voulu comprendre comment elle peut aider tous les cavaliers… et même, plus largement, chacun d'entre nous dans son quotidien.Pour cela, nous avons réuni deux regards passionnants. Celui de Vladimir Vinchon, cavalier de l'équipe de France de para-dressage, qui revient notamment sur son expérience des Jeux Olympiques et Paralympiques de Paris 2024 et sur l'impact concret qu'a eu la préparation mentale dans sa carrière et dans sa gestion des grandes échéances. Et celui de Flore Tairraz, spécialiste de la préparation mentale, qui nous partage ses expériences et ses connaissances sur ce sujet passionnant.I am an Equestrian est le premier podcast pour les passionnés d'équitation et de sports équestres.

Il regarde la présence, l'intention, la connexion. Et peut-être est-ce pour cela que le para-dressage est une discipline si bouleversante.Dans cet épisode de Entre Cavaliers, réalisé avec la Fédération Française d'Équitation à l'approche des Championnats du monde d'Aix-la-Chapelle 2026, nous avons voulu raconter une autre facette du très haut niveau.Une facette profondément humaine, où le cheval devient bien plus qu'un partenaire de sport : un soutien, un moteur, parfois même un thérapeute silencieux.On parle ici de confiance en soi, de reconstruction, de regard des autres, de puissance retrouvée.On parle aussi du rôle grandissant du cheval comme médiateur, dans l'accompagnement humain, de sa capacité unique à créer du lien et à réparer parfois ce que les mots ne savent pas atteindre. Parce qu'au fond, le para-dressage nous rappelle peut-être l'essentiel : la force d'un cavalier ne se mesure pas uniquement à ses performances… mais à la relation qu'il construit avec son cheval.I am an Equestrian est le premier podcast pour les passionnés d'équitation et de sports équestres.

Richard Boatwright is a long time cowboy and horseman out of South Carolina. His specialty is making videos that are uncut, unedited and raw showing the entire process of horse training. Ty and Richard sit down and have a chat all about horses and horsemanship and all aspects of the equine industry.

The best athletes in the world aren't consistent because their lives are calm. They're consistent because they've learned how to get back on track, fast.  In this episode, we're breaking down the one trait that actually separates the ultra consistent from everyone else, and it has nothing to do with willpower or discipline. We're diving into the real reason you keep falling off your health routines, and why it might not be a character flaw at all.  If you've ever missed a workout, overeaten on the weekend, or abandoned a protocol early and then spiraled into shame, this episode is for you. We unpack the surprising research behind the famous marshmallow test and what it actually reveals about trust, environment, and follow-through.  You'll learn why your metabolism, hormones, and stress response may be working against your best intentions and what to do about it. We talk about what a real "way back" looks like when life gets busy, chaotic, or emotionally draining. Forget waiting until Monday; we're giving you practical resets you can use at your very next meal, workout, or hard moment.  We also tackle the fine line between releasing shame and staying accountable, because both matter. You'll walk away with a handful of powerful questions to ask yourself when things fall apart, so you can turn setbacks into information instead of evidence against yourself.  This episode will challenge the way you define consistency and replace perfection with something far more sustainable. If you're ready to stop starting over and start returning, this one's for you.   Time Stamps:   (3:29) Hustling Mom's and Busy Seasons    (4:47) Recent FLUSH Protocol    (5:47) Justin's Perspective on Consistency    (19:42) When You're Struggling With Execution --------------------- Find Out More Information on Vital Spark Coaching --------------------- Follow @vanessagfitness on Instagram for daily fitness tips & motivation.  --------------------- Download Our FREE Metabolism-Boosting Workout Program --------------------- Join the Women's Metabolism Secrets Facebook Community for 25+ videos teaching you how to start losing fat without hating your life! --------------------- Click here to send me a message on Facebook and we'll see how I can help or what best free resources I can share! --------------------- Interested in 1-on-1 Coaching with my team of Metabolism & Hormone Experts?

Et parce que collaborer avec la Fédération Française d'Équitation autour d'un projet comme celui-ci est une immense fierté.Quand on parle de collectif, on pense immédiatement sport collectif : football, rugby ou encore basket... Ces fameux "sports co", ceux qui rassemblent une équipe entière sur un terrain, des athlètes qui évoluent ensemble pour créer une performance commune. L'équitation est plutôt perçue comme un sport individuel, qui se joue dans l'intimité de la relation entre un cavalier, un voltigeur ou un meneur et leur chevaux.Mais alors comment former une équipe lors des grands championnats ? Comment agglomérer plusieurs de ces athlètes pour viser une performance collective? Comment réunir des individualités pour représenter au mieux la nation ?Dans ce nouvel épisode de notre série "Entre cavaliers", enregistrée en collaboration avec la Fédération Française d'Equitation, nous avons échangé avec Frédéric Bouix, Président de la FFE et Sophie Dubourg, directrice technique nationale, pour comprendre le rôle du collectif dans la préparation d'un championnat, et parler de la place faite à l'esprit d'équipe en équitation.I am an Equestrian est le premier podcast pour les passionnés d'équitation et de sports équestres. On interviewe les plus grandes cavaliers, hommes et femmes de chevaux. Déjà plus de 140 épisodes

What if the constant thoughts about food you deal with every day aren't a lack of discipline… but your body trying to tell you something important?  In this episode, we'll break down what “food noise” actually is and why it's become such a common struggle for women who feel like they're always thinking about their next meal. While the current conversation often points to quick fixes or appetite-suppressing solutions, we'll take a different approach. One rooted in understanding the body, not silencing it. Food noise isn't random, and it's not just mental. It's deeply connected to your metabolism, hormones, and nervous system. We'll walk through the three core drivers behind food noise: restriction, highly processed foods, and deeper biological dysregulation. From there, we'll zoom in on what's happening inside your body when those signals get louder covering blood sugar instability, chronic stress and cortisol, hormone imbalances, gut dysfunction, and inflammation. You'll start to see how things like cravings, urgency around food, and feeling out of control aren't personality flaws—they're physiological responses. We'll also explain why intuitive eating can feel impossible when your internal signals are dysregulated, and why simply “trying harder” often makes things worse. Most importantly, we give you practical, actionable ways to start calming the noise by supporting your body without extremes or all-or-nothing thinking. If you've ever felt like you're constantly negotiating with yourself around food, this conversation will connect the dots in a way that finally makes sense. Because the goal isn't to fight your body. It's to understand it. And when you do, the noise doesn't need to be forced quiet… it naturally starts to fade.   Time Stamps:   (1:15) Maturity Photos   (5:27) Food Noise   (9:12) Three Types of Food Noise   (13:02) The Body When Food Noise Is High   (17:40) Cortisol Dysregulation   (20:50) Hormone Imbalances   (22:07) Gut Dysfunction   (25:50) Inflammation   (29:20) Action Steps --------------------- Find Out More Information on Vital Spark Coaching --------------------- Follow @vanessagfitness on Instagram for daily fitness tips & motivation.  --------------------- Download Our FREE Metabolism-Boosting Workout Program --------------------- Join the Women's Metabolism Secrets Facebook Community for 25+ videos teaching you how to start losing fat without hating your life! --------------------- Click here to send me a message on Facebook and we'll see how I can help or what best free resources I can share! --------------------- Interested in 1-on-1 Coaching with my team of Metabolism & Hormone Experts?

What if all the “random” symptoms you've been dealing with… aren't random at all? In this episode, we unpack one of the most overlooked drivers of stubborn weight gain, hormone issues, and chronic inflammation: immune dysfunction. If you've ever felt like your body is working against you despite eating well, exercising, and doing everything “right”, this conversation will start connecting the dots. Because the truth is, your metabolism doesn't operate in isolation. It's deeply influenced by your gut, hormones, thyroid, nervous system, and especially your immune system. We walk through why so many women are given multiple diagnoses like Hashimoto's, IBS, or SIBO and told to treat them as separate issues, when in reality they may all stem from the same underlying pattern. When your immune system is constantly activated, your body shifts into survival mode, making fat loss, digestion, and hormone balance significantly harder. You'll also learn how chronic stress, whether from under-eating, overtraining, poor sleep, or emotional pressure, can keep your immune system stuck in overdrive. This isn't about “just reducing stress,” it's about understanding what's actually happening inside your body when it perceives threat. We also break down why quick fixes like medications or supplements often fall short when the root cause isn't addressed. While tools like Ozempic or antibiotics can have their place, they're not a substitute for true healing. Finally, we share the framework we use at Vital Spark Coaching to help women move from dysfunction to real results starting with foundations, then restoring the body, and only then focusing on fat loss and performance. The most important takeaway? Your body isn't broken. It's adapting. And when you understand what it's responding to, everything starts to change.   Time Stamps:   (1:47) Coming Back From Mexico   (6:17) An Overactive Immune System   (14:22) Resetting The System   (22:57) When Our Clients Start Flourishing   (24:32) Applying For Vital Spark Coaching --------------------- Find Out More Information on Vital Spark Coaching --------------------- Follow @vanessagfitness on Instagram for daily fitness tips & motivation.  --------------------- Download Our FREE Metabolism-Boosting Workout Program --------------------- Join the Women's Metabolism Secrets Facebook Community for 25+ videos teaching you how to start losing fat without hating your life! --------------------- Click here to send me a message on Facebook and we'll see how I can help or what best free resources I can share! --------------------- Interested in 1-on-1 Coaching with my team of Metabolism & Hormone Experts?

In this episode, I'm answering some questions about what really goes on during my horsemanship clinics. Tune in as I break down some of the key themes, training philosophies, and perspectives that trainers need to have to get the most out of the clinic experience.

Most women don't realize they're stuck until they've already tried everything that was "supposed" to fix them. In this episode, we unpack one of the most frustrating experiences women face: going beyond conventional medicine, investing in functional medicine, and still feeling stuck. I introduce the two common paths women take: traditional healthcare and functional medicine and explain why both can fail in different ways. You'll hear exactly why being told “everything is normal” leaves so many women without answers, and why even advanced testing and supplement protocols don't always lead to real results. I break down the critical difference between the idea of functional medicine and how it's often delivered in practice. I explain how poor sequencing, incomplete strategies, and lack of real-time support can actually make symptoms worse even when you're following the plan perfectly. If you've ever felt like your body just isn't responding despite your effort, this conversation will hit home. You'll also learn why supplements alone are rarely the solution, and how missing foundational pieces like nutrition, lifestyle, and stress regulation can stall progress completely. I have a powerful “flower and soil” analogy to explain why your body needs the right environment before it can actually heal. Most importantly, this episode reframes the narrative so many women internalize that they are the problem. If you've tried both conventional and functional approaches and still don't feel like yourself, this isn't a failure of your body. It's a gap in the process. By the end, you'll understand exactly what's been missing—and what a truly effective, personalized approach to healing actually requires.   Time Stamps:   (1:17) Two Types of Women Come To Us (3:27) Recent Client Call (8:57) The Premise and Execution of Functional Health (9:34) Doctor Bob Example (10:50) Recent Vital Spark Google Review (12:09) Functional Health Dr. Joe (14:42) The Sequencing Issue (27:47) Working with Vital Spark --------------------- Find Out More Information on Vital Spark Coaching --------------------- Follow @vanessagfitness on Instagram for daily fitness tips & motivation.  --------------------- Download Our FREE Metabolism-Boosting Workout Program --------------------- Join the Women's Metabolism Secrets Facebook Community for 25+ videos teaching you how to start losing fat without hating your life! --------------------- Click here to send me a message on Facebook and we'll see how I can help or what best free resources I can share! --------------------- Interested in 1-on-1 Coaching with my team of Metabolism & Hormone Experts?
