Hello everyone. Welcome to the latest episode of The Matchbox Podcast powered by Ignition Coach Co. I'm your host, Adam Saban, and on this week's episode we're talking the methods we've used for tracking nutrition off-the-bike, how to account for changes in FTP throughout the season, and whether we think the benefits of aero helmets outweigh their vented counterparts.   As always, if you like what you hear, share this with your friends and leave us a five star review and if you have any questions for the show drop us an email at matchboxpod@gmail.com or head over to ignitioncoachco.com and fill out The Matchbox Podcast listener question form.    Alight let's get into it!   For more social media content, follow along @ignitioncoachco @adamsaban6 @dizzle_dillman @dylanjawnson @kait.maddox       https://www.youtube.com/c/DylanJohnsonCycling https://www.ignitioncoachco.com  https://www.youtube.com/@DrewDillmanChannel   Intro/ Outro music by AlexGrohl - song "King Around Here" - https://pixabay.com/music/id-15045/    The following was generated using Riverside.fm AI technologies   Summary:  In this episode of the Matchbox Podcast, the crew starts by comparing nutrition tracking apps for endurance athletes, especially tools that integrate with TrainingPeaks. They discuss Hexus, MyFitnessPal, Fuelin, and Chronometer, with a focus on usability, food database quality, barcode scanning, and how tracking can reveal better fueling habits over time.The conversation then shifts to helmet choice for hot races, where the group agrees that for a slow, long event in heat, a ventilated helmet is usually the smarter choice than an aero helmet. They emphasize that heat can hurt performance far more than a small aero gain, especially for athletes who are heat sensitive.Finally, they dive into training metrics like FTP, CTL, ATL, and TSB, discussing how often FTP should be updated and why athletes can get too fixated on these numbers. The crew argues that metrics are useful, but only as tools to guide training—not as the sole measure of fitness or performance.   Timestamps: 0:01 — Intro and first question on nutrition tracking apps 0:51 — Hexus, MyFitnessPal, and TrainingPeaks integration 1:13 — How Hexus works with workout-based meal planning 2:37 — Hexus food database limitations vs. MyFitnessPal 3:48 — Chronometer recommended as an alternative 5:13 — Why periodic food tracking is valuable for athletes 6:52 — Protein underconsumption in endurance athletes 7:19 — Tracking as a recalibration tool for fueling 8:05 — Lessons learned from detailed food logging 9:34 — Why excess carbs can become a problem 11:19 — Second question: aero helmet vs. heat management 12:12 — Helmets are highly rider-dependent 12:42 — Wind-tunnel testing example comparing helmets 14:50 — Heat sensitivity and why it should change helmet choice 15:12 — Heat can reduce performance by tens of watts 16:52 — Head cooling and perceived temperature matter a lot 17:36 — Cold drinks and cooling tricks improve performance 19:07 — Gloves and cooling strategies in racing 19:31 — Consensus: choose the ventilated helmet 20:20 — Third question: managing FTP changes across the season 21:14 — Exert FTP estimates and CTL accuracy 22:24 — Why updating FTP matters for TSS and CTL 24:05 — How Exert adjusts FTP from breakthrough efforts 25:43 — Vecta and WKO FTP estimation discussion 26:46 — Why raw KJs may be more useful than obsessing over CTL 28:56 — Why CTL “fitness” can be misleading 30:04 — Why training should not be programmed purely off TSS 31:03 — FTP as a tool for training zones, not the holy grail 32:22 — TSB as a more useful short-term freshness metric 34:44 — Why recipes from past seasons shouldn't be copied blindly 37:16 — Coaching principles over prebuilt plans 38:21 — Wrap-up and sign-off

OpenAI ouvre désormais ChatGPT Health à tous les utilisateurs américains majeurs disposant d'un compte. Lancée de façon limitée en janvier, cette fonctionnalité permet de connecter au chatbot des dossiers médicaux et différentes données de santé, afin d'obtenir des réponses davantage adaptées à la situation de chacun. L'enjeu est considérable : selon OpenAI, plus de 300 millions de personnes interrogent chaque semaine ChatGPT sur des sujets médicaux ou liés au bien-être. Avec l'autorisation de l'utilisateur, l'assistant peut désormais consulter ses médicaments, ses résultats d'analyses, des comptes rendus de consultations, mais aussi ses données de sommeil ou d'activité physique. Il reste également possible d'ajouter manuellement certaines informations, comme un objectif personnel ou une restriction alimentaire. Une contrainte renseignée une première fois pourra, par exemple, être automatiquement prise en compte lors d'une future demande de recettes. Apple Health constitue pour l'instant la principale source de données liées à la forme physique. OpenAI n'a pas encore précisé si d'autres services, comme Google Health, seront compatibles. Des connexions sont également proposées avec MyFitnessPal, Peloton et Weight Watchers. Les informations médicales peuvent, elles, provenir de systèmes hospitaliers américains ou de prestataires comme One Medical et Function Health.Cette ouverture soulève évidemment une question centrale : celle de la confidentialité. OpenAI affirme appliquer à ces données des protections supplémentaires par chiffrement. L'entreprise assure qu'elles ne serviront ni à entraîner ses modèles ni à proposer de la publicité. L'utilisateur peut interrompre la connexion à tout moment. Les informations concernées seraient alors effacées des serveurs dans un délai de trente jours. Le déploiement intervient toutefois dans un contexte sensible. OpenAI fait l'objet d'une attention croissante sur la fiabilité de ses réponses médicales. Un habitant de Floride a déposé plainte cette semaine, dénonçant des recommandations extrêmement dangereuses formulées par GPT-4o.Selon le New York Times, le chatbot lui aurait indiqué qu'une consultation médicale n'était pas nécessaire, alors que les symptômes décrits se sont ensuite révélés liés à une embolie pulmonaire, une urgence grave. Il lui aurait même répondu que Dieu n'avait pas conçu son corps pour échouer sans cesse. ChatGPT Health promet donc des réponses plus personnalisées. Mais plus les données deviennent précises, plus les exigences de sécurité, de confidentialité et de fiabilité deviennent élevées. Hébergé par Acast.

It helps more women discover the podcast and start building a healthier relationship with food.LinksApply for coaching: HEREFollow Angela on Instagram: HEREFollow Savina on Instagram: HERE

Warum kreisen unsere Gedanken manchmal ständig ums Essen? Mit Ernährungspsychologe Frédéric Letzner sprechen wir über Food Noise, Diäten und Verbote, emotionales Essen, intuitive Ernährung, Bodybuilding, Social Media und GLP‑1‑Abnehmspritzen. Dabei geht es um die Frage, wann Gesundheitsstreben kippt – und wie ein entspannteres Verhältnis zu Essen und Körper entstehen kann. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dominiks Buch zur pflanzenbasierten Sporternährung im UTB-Verlag: https://www.utb.de/doi/book/10.36198/9783838560328 Dominiks Gesundheitscommunity: www.gsundes-hannover.de Dominiks Online-Knie-Kurs: https://gsundes-hannover.de/knieschmerzen/ Dominiks Online-Rücken-Kurs: https://copecart.com/products/34bd5abb/checkout Marcs veganes Online-Fitness-Coaching: https://vegainer-academy.com/ Marcs Online-Kurs: https://www.copecart.com/products/a50f88f2/checkout Frédérics Instagram-Kanal: https://www.instagram.com/frederic.letzner.official/?hl=de Frédérics Webseite: https://fredericletzner.de/ Frédérics Online-Kurse: https://fredericletzner-kurs.de/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dieser Podcast wird unterstützt von der Firma Watson Nutrition.

Es kann mit erhöhtem Risiko für gestörtes Essverhalten und Muskeldysmorphie verbunden sein. Ebenso können rigide Clean-Eating-Regeln und Essanfälle zusammenhängen, gehören aber nicht zwangsläufig zusammen. 00:51:58:17–00:56:05:17 – Fasten, Körperhass und Veganismus: Fasten „zerstört“ Hunger- und Sättigungssignale nicht generell. Es kann bei vulnerablen Menschen problematisch werden. Auch die behauptete hohe Dunkelziffer an Essstörungen unter vegan lebenden Menschen ist nicht belegt. Eine vegane Ernährung kann in Einzelfällen Restriktion verdecken, ist aber nicht automatisch ein Risikomarker. 01:09:03:17–01:09:58:17 – Langzeitfolgen von GLP-1: „Langzeitfolgen sind unbekannt“ ist zu grob. Es liegen inzwischen Daten über mehrere Jahre vor; offene Fragen betreffen besonders lebenslange Anwendung und sehr seltene Folgen. Quellenverzeichnis American Psychiatric Association. (2022).

Starting a weight loss journey can feel overwhelming. Tracking calories, weighing food, learning portions, and building new habits all take time, and at first, they can feel exhausting.In this episode, I share how learning to swim reminded me of the weight loss journey. In the beginning, you're just trying to stay afloat. Everything feels awkward. But with repetition, you find your rhythm.I also talk about how nearly 150 consecutive days of tracking in MyFitnessPal has completely changed the way I approach nutrition. What once took a minute now takes seconds. The habits that once felt like work have become second nature.If you're just getting started, or you're frustrated because the process feels tedious, this episode is your reminder to stay with it. Commit to the repetition, trust the process, and give yourself time to build the rhythm. It won't always feel this hard.Find a way.

Every internship said no, so Henry Jia stopped applying and built something instead. The platform he ended up engineering later booked him onto this very show. He got there with a business degree and six months of teaching himself to build, and today he is the founding engineer at PodPitch, the AI platform behind roughly 5% of podcast guest bookings worldwide.In this conversation, we get into:What his startup reads first on a resume, and why the school name never mattersHow the customer support team ended up fixing the platform's code themselvesWhy he argues most AI work needs a far cheaper model, against his own team's adviceWhat five background agents did to his laptop in the middle of this recordingMost AI career advice comes from people watching from the outside. Henry is inside the hiring, the building, and the tooling at once. If you are deciding what to learn next, or what to stop paying for, start here.

If you're doing all the "right" things trying to lose weight in menopause—eating 1,200 calories, working out every day, cutting carbs, skipping breakfast—and the scale still won't move, this episode is for you.I know exactly how frustrating that feels because I lived it.At 49, I was doing two-a-day workouts, teaching multiple spin classes every week, trying keto, intermittent fasting, and eating as little as possible. Instead of losing weight, I was exhausted, losing my hair, developing thyroid issues, and watching the scale refuse to budge.Everything changed when I stopped focusing only on calories and started focusing on macros—especially protein.In this episode, I share:Why counting calories alone wasn't enough during menopauseThe biggest nutrition mistake I see women makingWhy MyFitnessPal's default macro recommendations can work against your goalsHow increasing protein helped me lose 25 pounds while eating more foodAn easy first step you can take today to see if your nutrition is holding you backIf you've been blaming yourself because nothing seems to work anymore, I want you to know this: you probably don't need to try harder—you need a better strategy.Calorie Calculator: https://katalystfitness.net/katalyst-fitness-nutrition-calculator/Send us Fan MailThank you so much for listening, please share with a friend and subscribe so you don't miss an episode!If you want to see how I can help you on your journey, book a quick 10-15 minute call so we can chat about your goals!https://www.menopotmeltdown.com/quickchatnowNow accepting clients!

Recording through a summer cold a few weeks early — breathy voice and all — Krysta makes the case that waiting to feel ready is the exact thing keeping you stuck. This one's for the business owner with 40 unposted videos in their camera roll and the person who keeps starting their nutrition over "on Monday." In this episode we dive into:Why "I'm bad at content" is almost never true — and what's actually going on insteadThe reframe that turns confidence from a prerequisite into a byproductHow intentional repetition (not one viral hit) is what actually moves a productA messy-action FYX tip to get you back on the horse this weekThe Camera Roll GraveyardYou set a Friday content day, grab the coffee, do the hair — then summer plans throw a wrench in it and you talk yourself out of postingYou re-record the same 15 seconds, watch it back, and suddenly hate your eyebrows, your voice, the lightingYou run the script through ChatGPT and get a robotic version of yourself that lands even worseThe video disappears into the graveyard with 40 others that were "good enough" to film but never saw daylightConfidence Is Built in the RepsThat whole scenario isn't a "bad at content" problem — it's a confidence problem, and confidence is just reps you haven't collected yetNobody learned to ride a bike the second the training wheels came off, and not even Babe Ruth hit every pitch — the skill lives in the at-batsAt the driving range, Krysta misses 25 of 50 balls — and chooses to root to the 25 she crushed and how good they feltThe coffee-shop latte lesson: one post won't sell it, but seven days of different angles on the same launch will — and teaches you what your audience actually wantsRoot to the Feeling, Stack the EvidenceConfidence comes from evidence, and you don't find it sitting still — you create it by putting yourself out thereKrysta's MyFitnessPal reps mean she now logs in seconds what used to take 3x as long — same muscle, more at-batsThe first-set negotiation: do one set of everything, and by set two your mood has already shifted — same as how you feel after you finally hit postThis week, don't rebuild the whole routine — track just Monday, plan around a trackable Chipotle if you need to, and take the messy actionThis conversation reminds us there's no such thing as confidence without evidence — it doesn't magically arrive, you build it one rep at a time. Whether you're the founder whose best video is rotting in the camera roll or the person restarting their macros every Monday, this episode is your permission slip to stop waiting to feel ready and start collecting proof. Babe Ruth missed plenty. Your at-bats are the strategy.Made a video that took everything you had to post?

Nutrition Nugget! Bite-sized bonus episodes offer tips, tricks and approachable science. This week, Jenn is talking about meals on repeat and whether eating the same foods over and over aids in weight loss.

Welcome to Episode 210 of the Bodybuilding Down Under Podcast! After a quick catch up we dive into a topic that keeps coming up across the industry: AI in bodybuilding coaching. With AI now baked into everything from MyFitnessPal to check-in software, we debate whether it genuinely threatens coaching or whether the human side of the sport is simply irreplaceable. We cover where AI falls short in niche areas like peak week and show day decisions, why low-effort and cookie-cutter coaches are most at risk, and why the coach-athlete relationship during a deep prep is something no algorithm can replicate. We also share practical ways coaches can use AI as a tool for efficiency, from mapping out prep timelines to building custom check-in apps, without losing what actually matters. Enjoy!

Ever checked your Oura Ring score first thing in the morning… and instantly decided how your entire day was going to feel? US TOOOOO!In this episode, we dive into the world of health tracking devices — from Oura Rings and Apple Watches to TempDrop, MyFitnessPal, Garmin, Whoop bands and beyond — and share our honest thoughts on whether these tools are genuinely helping us… or quietly making us more anxious, obsessive, and disconnected from our bodies.We unpack the pros, the pitfalls, and the surprisingly emotional side of tracking your sleep, stress, HRV, food, fertility, steps, recovery and more. Because while data can absolutely help you make smarter health decisions… sometimes it can also turn your nervous system into a full-time project manager (and nobody wants THAT).FIND NAT BELOW:Website - https://nataliekdouglas.com/Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/natalie.k.douglasBook a Free Assessment Call - https://NatalieKDouglas.as.me/?appointmentType=50255874EndoNourish - Endometriosis and Adenomyosis Guide - https://nataliekdouglas.com/endonourish-holistic-endometriosis-adenomyoisis-care-guide/SacredSeeds - Preconception Care Guidehttps://nataliekdouglas.com/preconception-care-guide/PCOS Wellness Guidehttps://nataliekdouglas.com/pcos-holistic-guide/Thyroid Rescue - Self guided programhttps://nataliekdouglas.com/thyroid-rescue/Coming Off The Pill/IUD Holistic Guidehttps://nataliekdouglas.com/coming-off-the-pill-mini-course/PMS/PMDD Natural Solutons Masterclass https://nataliekdouglas.com/pms-pmdd-natural-solutions-masterclass/Restore and Nourish Gut Reset - https://nataliekdouglas.com/restore-nourish-gut-reset/Perimenopause Masterclass -https://nataliekdouglas.com/perimenopause-masterclass-holistic-toolkit/Become a one-to-one clienthttps://nataliekdouglas.com/1-1-naturopathic-nutrition-consultations/FIND AMIE BELOW:Book a Free Assessment Call: https://p.bttr.to/3yBdmu3   Book Yourself In: https://l.bttr.to/ZDxWOWebsite - https://whatthenaturopathsaid.com   Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/thatnaturopathJoin the mailing list - https://elysium-clinic-of-natural-medicine.ck.page/69663ce14a  PS: yes we are practitioners, but we're not YOUR practitioners - it should go without saying but our episodes are not medical advice.

A 155-pound weight loss doesn't happen because you “finally got disciplined.” It happens when you build a system you can live with on your worst Tuesday, not your best Monday. We sit down with our friend Nolan Taylor (briefly rebranded as Nolan DeLorean) to talk through the unglamorous, repeatable steps that took him from nearly 400 pounds to the low 200s and into a new phase of chasing performance and body fat percentage goals.Nolan breaks down the real timeline: years of posting workouts and “going through the motions,” then a hard pivot on February 3, 2022 when he publicly committed to closing his Apple Watch rings every day. From there it's the fundamentals done consistently: calorie tracking with MyFitnessPal, better hydration, taking sleep seriously, and building a daily running habit that became his outlet when life got heavy. We talk about what actually makes habits stick, why extreme fitness culture sells insecurity, and how small food swaps and moderation can beat any all-or-nothing plan.The most important thread is mindset. We get into emotional eating, shame loops, therapy, and why “calories in, calories out” might be biologically true while still being emotionally incomplete. If the scale number wrecks your headspace, we also share better ways to measure progress: trends over time, energy, clothes fit, strength PRs, and the ability to do more without hating the process.If you want sustainable weight loss, a healthier relationship with food, and a plan that doesn't require misery, hit play.

Have you ever felt stuck on the diet roller coaster, bouncing between restriction, failure, and shame? In this episode, Barb is joined by personal trainer and nutrition coach Brandice Lardner, founder of Grace Filled Plate, to talk about food freedom, faith-based wellness, and breaking free from diet culture for good. Brandice shares her personal journey through dieting and disordered eating, and how it led her to create a compassionate, grace-filled approach to health that meets women's physical, emotional, and spiritual needs. They discuss why traditional diets fail, how all-or-nothing thinking keeps women stuck in cycles of restriction and shame, and what it looks like to build "fruitful habits" instead of chasing perfect eating. If you're tired of the diet roller coaster and ready for a sustainable, Christ-centered approach to healthy living, this conversation will give you practical tools — and real hope — for lasting change.   RESOURCES FROM THIS EPISODE Connect with Brandice on Instagram Connect with Brandice on Facebook Fully Nourished: A Grace-Filled Approach to Ditch Diets and Find Peace with Food and Your Body Visit Brandice's Website   ABOUT OUR SPECIAL GUEST Brandice Lardner is a personal trainer, nutrition coach, and owner and author of Grace Filled Plate, which she founded in 2017.

You ask ChatGPT how many calories you should eat, it gives you a number, and you follow it. It sounds scientific. It feels like you're doing something right.But here's what nobody's telling you: the formula ChatGPT uses doesn't know your hormones, your thyroid, your stress, your sleep, your diet history, or how well your body actually converts food into fuel. It uses four variables to calculate a number that should require at least twelve.And then there's the other problem — ChatGPT is trained to agree with you. If you've been going down a low-carb path, it's going to hand you a low-carb plan. Not because it's right for you. Because it's designed to mirror back what you already believe.In this episode, Stephanie breaks down exactly why AI-generated calorie and macro calculations miss the mark for women in perimenopause and beyond — and shares what she found when she put ChatGPT's meal plan directly into MyFitnessPal.

Grab your beverage of choice — because Jess has at least three of them. This week's Superwoman Diaries is peak real life: protein struggles and gut health deep dives, surviving food poisoning on the GLP-1, middle-of-the-night cortisol pushups, anxiety packing for a fifth grade field trip to Zion, and somehow landing on a conversation about platypuses and the birds and the bees with an eleven-year-old. Kelly and Jess also swap their current favorite mini-documentaries, and spoiler — one of them involves cults, an undercover psychologist, and the FBI. Just a normal Tuesday. In This Episode: Jess's beverage situation: creatine, Starbucks refresher concentrate, frozen dragon fruit, and the superfood bag that said five grams of fiber Kelly tracking her protein and macros on MyFitnessPal — and the bloating incident that came from putting protein powder in coffee on an empty stomach The 30-30-3 rule Cassidy shared: 30g protein, 30g fiber, and 3 servings of probiotics at your first meal Jess's gut health routine: probiotics, kombucha shots, and why it matters on a GLP-1 Getting food poisoning from a Mediterranean chicken salad and spending Monday on the BRAT diet — and discovering B-Free gluten-free sourdough bread from Walmart Skipping her volunteer signup for Gio's field trip and the guilt that came with it Kelly's 3am waking problem, the cortisol explanation, and doing 20 pushups in the bathroom to fall back asleep The sleep supplement breakdown: melatonin vs. magnesium vs. cortisol manager, and who each one actually helps Alpha-STIM for anxiety, insomnia, and depression — Jess's pitch for them both to try it Staying up until 2am reading Off Campus, the hockey romance series coming to Amazon Prime, and completely tanking her sleep hygiene Mini-documentary recommendations: Trust Me: The False Prophet on Netflix — the story of a PhD psychologist who embedded herself with a fundamentalist LDS community after Warren Jeffs was imprisoned and ended up working with the FBI The conversation Jess had with Gio about critical thinking, body autonomy, listening to your gut, and what to do when someone in power is telling you something feels wrong — sparked by watching a bit of the documentary together "Who created sex?" — how an 11-year-old's questions took a hard left turn through farm animals, platypuses, and egg-laying mammals Freebie Mentioned

In this episode, host Sandy Vance sits down with Mike Fisher, the CEO of MyFitnessPal, for an exciting and passionate conversation about what happens when twenty years of nutrition data meets modern AI. With over 300 million people impacted worldwide and a brand that has been a household name for two decades, MyFitnessPal is not resting on its laurels.  From an AI coach backed by two decades of behavioral data to a ChatGPT integration that meets users wherever they already are, to the acquisition of Gen Z favorite Calaii, Mike paints a vibrant picture of where consumer nutrition technology is headed.  This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in the intersection of consumer behavior, AI personalization, and population health.  In this episode, they talk about: MyFitnessPal has impacted over 300 million people worldwide and has been building AI into nutrition tools long before LLMs existed The app's AI flywheel covers three areas: logging, meal planning, and personalized insights The new AI coach for premium users is backed by twenty years of behavioral data on what actually helps people hit their goals Users who scan meals are 32% more likely to hit their goals, a data point only possible after two decades of studying user behavior MyFitnessPal integrated with ChatGPT so users can access its nutrition expertise directly inside the LLM they already use The company acquired Calaii, built by high school students who scaled it to millions of users in under two years, to reach a younger demographic A new GLP-1 mode lets users track dosage, side effects, and nutrition in one place Agentic programming has lowered the barrier to building software, but cannot replicate twenty years of trusted data and behavioral science Bad data and missing data are just as dangerous as hallucinations, and guardrails around AI nutrition advice are non-negotiable A Little About Mike: Mike Fisher is the CEO of MyFitnessPal and a member of its board of directors. At MyFitnessPal, he focuses on driving strategic initiatives, enhancing the app's technological infrastructure, and expanding its impact on global health and nutrition. He brings a wealth of experience from his previous role as Chief Technology Officer at Etsy, where he drove engineering and product innovation, and from Quigo, where he scaled technology infrastructure ahead of its acquisition by AOL.  Co-founder of AKF Partners, Mike has advised numerous tech companies on strategic growth and held pivotal leadership roles at PayPal. A former U.S. Army Captain and pilot, Mike is also an active philanthropist and serves on the boards of the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation and the West Point Association of Graduates.

So many people use food tracking apps such as Cronometer, My Fitness Pal, and others.With this comes an overall, overrealiance on these apps and taking all the info it provides as absolute truth.This isn't quite so, so we need to unpack this and explain the truth about how to properly use food tracker apps if you are relying on them for your calorie calculation and tracking needs.In this episode, I explain how to approach calorie estimates on food tracking apps the right way. DISCLAIMER: The information in this video is for guidance only and is not individualised advice for you! Your unique situation needs to be taken into consideration and adjusting your dietary intake.____________________________________________DOWNLOAD MY FREE MACRO NUTRITION CHEATSHEET Your Guide To Improving Your Macros & Making Meal Prep Easierhttps://theclimbingdietitian.lpages.co/macro-cheatsheet-the-climbing-dietitian/Apply for Bespoke 1:1 Macro Sherpa Nutrition Coaching Program: https://bit.ly/395QmGsCheck out and SUBSCRIBE to my YouTube channel: https://bit.ly/2Mxqs4WEmail me: aleksa@theclimbingdietitian.com.auTo find me on socials:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theclimbingingdietitianTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@theclimbingdietitianFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/theclimbingdietitianTwitter: https://twitter.com/beardyAPDLink to blog: https://bit.ly/330ULq4Check out my website for more information on me and what I do:https://www.theclimbingdietitian.com.au

Danielle sits down with Becca Murphy to unpack her personal experience with orthorexia, disordered eating, and how "doing all the right things" can quietly spiral into underfueling, overtraining, and hormonal imbalance. We're talking about the sneaky, socially acceptable behaviors that get praised in fitness culture but are actually massive red flags, especially for high-performing women navigating endurance training, weight loss, and metabolic health. From obsessive tracking with apps like MyFitnessPal, to chronic dieting, to using exercise as a coping mechanism, this episode connects the dots between control, trauma, and the way we use "health" to avoid what's really going on underneath. We also break down how low energy availability, RED-S (Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport), and chronic underfueling can show up as fatigue, poor recovery, hormone issues, and stubborn body composition changes. If you've ever felt wired and tired, stuck in rigid routines, anxious about missing a workout, or unsure how to stop tracking calories and macros… this episode is for you.   Enter the Brick Giveaway here!  Learn more about working with me  Shop my masterclasses (learn more in 60-90 minutes than years of dr appointments) Follow me on IG Follow Empowered Mind + Body on IG  Follow Becca on IG 

Have you ever felt stuck on the diet roller coaster, bouncing between restriction, failure, and shame? In this episode, Barb is joined by personal trainer and nutrition coach Brandice Lardner, founder of Grace Filled Plate, to talk about food freedom, faith-based wellness, and breaking free from diet culture for good. Brandice shares her personal journey through dieting and disordered eating, and how it led her to create a compassionate, grace-filled approach to health that meets women's physical, emotional, and spiritual needs. They discuss why traditional diets fail, how all-or-nothing thinking keeps women stuck in cycles of restriction and shame, and what it looks like to build "fruitful habits" instead of chasing perfect eating. If you're tired of the diet roller coaster and ready for a sustainable, Christ-centered approach to healthy living, this conversation will give you practical tools — and real hope — for lasting change.   RESOURCES FROM THIS EPISODE Connect with Brandice on Instagram Connect with Brandice on Facebook Fully Nourished: A Grace-Filled Approach to Ditch Diets and Find Peace with Food and Your Body Visit Brandice's Website   ABOUT OUR SPECIAL GUEST Brandice Lardner is a personal trainer, nutrition coach, and owner and author of Grace Filled Plate, which she founded in 2017.

In this episode, I'm walking you through Balanced Bodies Intelligence — the smartest nutrition coaching app on the market and the system I built to give people real coaching without the $400-$600/month price tag of 1-on-1 work. Most nutrition apps just track. They give you a calorie number on day one and leave you to figure out the rest. This one actually coaches you. It uses machine learning to analyze your weight trends, compliance, biofeedback, recovery, habits, and movement — then makes weekly decisions to cut, feed, or hold based on what your body is actually doing. I break down every feature inside the app:→ How the baseline phase and weekly decision cycle work → Why a plateau doesn't always mean "eat less" → Phase-based coaching (deficit, maintenance, controlled feeds) → The biofeedback and readiness score system → Why compliance is a confidence measure, not a judgment → Progress photos, measurements, and trend analysis → The dashboard, habit tracker, and streak system → The food optimizer and Smart Optimize feature → Flex Days for social events, dinners, and parties → The Movement Score (and why steps matter more than workouts) → Ask Your Coach — and why it stays in its lane → The 4-layer accountability system: banners, texts, emails, and at-risk detection → Weekly reports and built-in education If you've been spinning your wheels with macro calculators, MyFitnessPal, or apps that just track food without telling you what to do next — this episode is for you. Whether you're not ready for full coaching, can't afford it right now, or just need structure and accountability to finally get consistent — Balanced Bodies Intelligence is the bridge.

In this Boss Bitch Radio episode, I'm talking to the competitors, the ex-competitors, the MyFitnessPal queens, the women who live and die by their macro numbers. If you feel like the only way you can stay "on track" is by weighing every gram and logging every bite, we need to have a real conversation. I'm not here to bash macro tracking. It can be a powerful tool. I've used it for over a decade. I competed almost 20 times as an IFBB Pro. I know what it takes to get shredded. But I also know what it costs. If you're a competitor, former competitor, chronic dieter, or woman trying to heal your relationship with food after years of macro tracking, this episode will hit.

This episode covers: • Real Food Reset in U.S. Dietary Policy The new Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2025–2030 put real food back at the center of U.S. nutrition policy and take a direct swing at ultra processed foods, added sugar, and sugary drinks. Dave breaks down why this matters beyond personal dieting: these guidelines influence school meals, SNAP and WIC, federal feeding programs, and they shape what eventually shows up on labels and in public institutions. He also shares how biohackers can use this shift as leverage to push for better food environments in schools, workplaces, and hospitals. -Source: https://www.usda.gov/about-usda/news/press-releases/2026/01/07/kennedy-rollins-unveil-historic-reset-us-nutrition-policy-put-real-food-back-center-health • Drug Combo Extends Lifespan of Frail Old Mice by 73% A new aging study found that combining oxytocin with a compound called A5i extended the remaining lifespan of frail elderly male mice by 73%, while also improving function and tissue health. Dave explains why this is a big signal for the future of longevity medicine: stacking targeted interventions can outperform single compounds, especially when you start late in life. He also explains what to do with the idea right now: stop building random “everything stacks” and start thinking in phases, tracking outcomes, and waiting for real human combo data. -Source: https://www.futura-sciences.com/en/study-finds-drug-combo-could-slow-aging-and-increase-lifespan-by-73_23229/ • ChatGPT Health Turns Your Data Into a Health OS OpenAI launched ChatGPT Health, a dedicated health experience that lets you securely connect medical records and wellness apps like Apple Health and MyFitnessPal, so you can summarize visits, interpret labs, and prepare better questions for your doctor. Dave explains why this is a turning point for quantified self and protocol building: it reduces the friction of pulling data from five different places, and it makes pattern-finding accessible to nontechnical people. He also shares how to use it like a pro: clean inputs, smarter questions, and better doctor conversations. -Source: https://openai.com/index/introducing-chatgpt-health/ • Whole Milk Is Back in Schools The Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act restores whole and reduced-fat milk options in schools, aligning school nutrition rules with the updated dietary guidelines that no longer treat full-fat dairy like a default villain. Dave breaks down why this matters for child healthspan: satiety and nutrient density drive behavior, learning, and metabolic stability. He also explains why this is a real-world policy experiment worth watching across school districts, and how it can open the door for bigger institutional upgrades like better protein and fewer ultra processed items. -Source: https://www.usda.gov/about-usda/news/press-releases/2026/01/14/whole-milk-back-president-trump-signs-whole-milk-healthy-kids-act • Tirzepatide Trial Targets Biological Age With Aging Clocks A registered clinical trial titled Tirzepatide to Slow Biological Aging is using multiple DNA methylation aging clocks as primary endpoints, along with functional metrics like grip strength and a 6-minute walk test. Dave explains why this is a big maturity step for longevity science: instead of assuming metabolic improvement equals slower aging, this study is measuring biological age directly, across multiple clocks, with performance outcomes. He also shares the practical lesson for biohackers: stop relying on one favorite metric and start thinking in panels, function, and durability of results. -Source: https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT07220473 All source links provided for direct access to the original research and reporting. This episode is designed for biohackers, longevity seekers, and high-performance listeners who want practical strategies rooted in cutting-edge science.

Let me start this one hot and spicy for you: Counting calories isn't the answer because food isn't the problem. That's right. Food is not the problem. Especially when you've had an unhealthy obsession with calorie counting and diet culture. It's actually about control. And we give calories all the glory when in reality, choosing food based on calories doesn't even equate to the essential nutrients and vitamins that we need to thrive. Calories are simply a unit of energy. Energy that you need, sis, to function, to live, to be your best. Energy that you need to play with your kids, go out with your friends, dress up cute for a date night, do your job, clean your house, take that walk. But restrictive diets and disordered relationships with food cause this obsession with control and counting calories. And while we continue to be chained to numbers and the fixation of numbers, we're missing out on LIFE. Maybe you don't count calories, but you count other things—steps, fat grams, your weight on the scale. It's time to hang it up. It's time to stop. But I'm not just gonna ask you to stop cold turkey because we all know how that typically goes. In this episode, I'm giving you six practical steps you can take TODAY to stop counting calories so you can start counting moments that matter in your life. In this episode, you'll discover: Why food isn't the problem (control is) and what you're really searching for The shocking truth about calorie tracking apps (73% of MyFitnessPal users reported it contributed to disordered eating!) 6 actionable steps to stop counting calories for good How to transform your thinking around calories (they're energy, not the enemy) What triggers to eliminate from your life RIGHT NOW How to face the fear and challenge yourself in restaurants and at home What to count INSTEAD of calories (hint: Episode 56 has 30 ideas!) Why honoring your hunger is the key to freedom The powerful statement that will shift everything: "100 more calories won't change your life, but the decision to avoid them will" If you're obsessively counting calories, tracking your food, or constantly calculating like a mathematician how many calories you have left for the day—this episode is for you. Let's stop counting calories and start counting moments that matter. KEY QUOTES FROM THIS EPISODE

Ford has 5,000 open service bay jobs, some paying over $120K. But techs say the path to get there is grueling and costly—with few making it to the top.Ted Hummel, a Senior Master Tech in Ohio, made $160K in 2025—but it took over a decade to reach.Entry-level techs often start under $10/hr and must invest tens of thousands in tools and training.The “flat rate” pay system rewards speed, not hours worked—but also means zero pay when work is slow.Physical strain is intense; many leave the profession due to injury before reaching top pay.“A bay with a lift and tools and no one to work in it,” said Ford CEO Jim Farley, calling it a nationwide crisis.https://openai.com/index/introducing-chatgpt-health/ChatGPT Enters the Health Chat: OpenAI is rolling out ChatGPT Health, a new experience designed to help users navigate health information more confidently—by connecting medical records and wellness apps securely to AI.Over 230 million people use ChatGPT weekly for health and wellness questions.The Health experience is separate from general ChatGPT chats, with extra layers of privacy and encryption.Users can link data from apps like Apple Health, MyFitnessPal, and Function for more personalized advice.Medical info stays isolated within Health and is not used for training models.Built with input from 260+ physicians, it's designed to support, not replace, clinical care.“It helps you understand patterns over time—not just moments of illness,” OpenAI said in the announcement.Join Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/
