Podcast appearances and mentions of kate abate

Kate is an IFBB Professional Olympian Athlete. She now focuses on preventative medicine through the medium of lifestyle intervention. Kate does so by utilizing nutrition, movement, and mindfulness as paths to optimize longevity and enhance lifespan performance. As she pursues her Masters of Science at USC in the evolving interdisciplinary field of Gerontology, she's thrilled to expand her food coaching business into a more specialized genre of preventative medicine, research, and counseling. Kate thrives when creating age-specific resources for clients with specific issues such as processed food addiction, chronic illness prevention, sleep deficit, and C-level stress management. In her spare time, she is a social researcher, a volunteer crisis counselor, and a yoga teacher and personal trainer.

In episode two of the Returning Guest series, host Celeste Rains-Turk sits down for a second time with Crisis Counselor, Master student of gerontology, Registered Yoga Teacher and Certified Personal Trainer, Kate Abate to dig deeper into Kate’s life outside of competing. Although she is not actively competing, Kate shares how she has continued to make her body a priority. As discussed on her previous episode, Kate has struggled with her gut health and talks about her continued journey to improve her digestion. She shares about the Autoimmune diet she has been following and it’s impact on her overall gut health and colitis. Beyond that, Kate discusses her own hypermobility and the levels it can work at outside of simply “being flexible”. She shares how the hypermobility works its way down to her internal organs and joints and the correlation that exists between her hypermobility and her physical and mental health. Kate studies gerontology which is the study of the aging process. Kate talks about the aging process as growth and development. She talks about how even though the body no longer grows taller, it grows and develops in many other fascinating ways. She specifically talks about mental health in the older population by asking the question, “Have you ever seen an 80 year old freaking out and stressed about something?” Because she is receiving this new degree, Kate talks about how she wants to expand her business once she receives her diploma. Just like getting this degree is allowing her to “pivot” in her own life, Kate wants to be able to reach those who  have also reached a pivot point in their life, whether it be in fitness, lifestyle, wellbeing or even a financial pivot. Even through all of this future planning, Kate shares how she is able to bring herself back to the present moment and enjoy every day. As the episode progresses, Kate talks about how she began her career in crisis counseling, stemming from trauma she experienced in her own childhood and in her 20s. She talks about how she was able to heal from this trauma and how she used a difficult time in her life to launch her into the world that is crisis counseling. Kate shares some of the best things that have come to her personally from crisis counseling and how to speak out when feeling the shame that is accompanied by the violence of a sexual assault. In this powerful episode, Kate’s words inspire hope and optimism for the aging process, healing through trauma and sexual assault.
