Podcasts about Overtraining

If you want to cut through the noise and BS head to www.colossusfitness.comThese draw from ongoing social media debates (TikTok, Instagram, X), emerging trends like body recomposition, GLP-1 drugs (e.g., semaglutide), wearable tech, and "optimized" protocols. They avoid super outdated ones like "carbs at night make you fat" or the classic "anabolic window" (though timing still gets twisted).Myth 1- You Can't Build Muscle in a Calorie Deficit (Especially If You Have Body Fat to Lose) Body recomposition is very possible for beginners/intermediates with decent body fat, good protein intake, and progressive training. Myth 2- Cardio Kills Your Gains / You Must Choose Between Muscle and Fat Loss Excessive cardio + poor recovery is the real issue, not cardio itself.Myth 3- High Protein Harms Your Kidneys (or You Can Only Absorb ~30g Per Meal) For healthy people, higher protein supports muscle and satiety safely. The 30g rule is overstated, your body handles more, especially spread out. Kidneys concern mainly applies to those with pre-existing issues.Myth 4- Spot Reduction Works (or Targeted Ab Work Burns Belly Fat) Fat loss is systemic; you can strengthen muscles but not selectively melt fat from one area.Myth 5- Sweating More & Soreness is the key to progressSweat is mainly thermoregulation; it doesn't correlate strongly with calories burned or workout effectiveness. Intensity, progressive overload, and consistency matter more.Myth 6- Creatine Causes Hair Loss / Bloating / Other Major Side Effects Still scares people away despite strong evidence for safety and benefits (strength, muscle, cognitive). Hair loss myth ties to DHT correlation (weak), and bloating is usually temporary/minimal with proper dosing. Huge in 2025-2026 supplement discussions.Myth 7- You Need to Train 5-6+ Days a Week (or Go All-In on Intensity Every Session) for Real Results Many busy people get great results with 3-4 well-designed sessions + walking/recovery. Overtraining or burnout myths keep people inconsistent.Thanks for listening!

Midlife isn't a breakdown—it's a signal. In this episode, Lisa sits down with Harmony Slater to explore how menopause, burnout, and body image conditioning disconnect women from their bodies—and how somatic practices, breathwork, and nervous system regulation can help you reconnect. What this episode covers: Menopause and body changes in midlife Why women feel disconnected from their bodies The impact of burnout, stress, and overtraining How the body stores trauma, stress, and emotion What somatic healing and embodiment practices actually are Simple tools for nervous system regulation and self-connection Key Takeaways: You've been conditioned to fix your body instead of listen to it Menopause and perimenopause amplify body awareness and discomfort Chronic stress and burnout keep you stuck in your head, not your body Somatic work helps release stored tension and emotional patterns Rest, breath, and awareness are essential for hormonal and nervous system health. Standout Insights: “We are trained to notice what needs to be fixed.” “It doesn't feel safe to be in a body that's constantly criticized.” “Your body is always trying to heal—you just need to listen.” Chapters: 00:00 The biggest lie we've been taught 03:30 Living in your head vs your body 07:00 The war women have with their bodies 12:30 Overtraining, burnout, and guilt 18:00 The 8:30am exhaustion moment 23:00 What somatic work actually is 31:00 Why your body doesn't feel safe 34:00 “When did you decide you had to earn rest?” 40:00 Simple practices to reconnect 44:00 Rewiring what you notice about yourself  If you're navigating menopause symptoms, stress, or burnout, start here: Lie on the floor, feet grounded Place your hands on your chest or belly Inhale through your nose, exhale through your mouth Notice where your breath moves in your body Follow the sensation—no judgment, no fixing This supports nervous system regulation, stress reduction, and body awareness. Harmony Slater is a somatic coach and certified Ashtanga yoga teacher who helps people reconnect with their bodies through breathwork, movement, and nervous system healing. Her work focuses on helping individuals move beyond stress, anxiety, and physical tension to create more aligned, energized lives.

Millions of people are looking into their phone cameras and wondering why their face suddenly appears puffier, rounder, or more tired. The internet calls it “cortisol face,” but the truth is more complicated: cortisol itself is essential for survival, and the real danger may be a stress rhythm that never properly switches off. In this episode, Dr. Josh Axe explains how poor sleep, blood-sugar instability, fluid retention, chronic inflammation, emotional overload, and disrupted hormone signaling can all change what you see in the mirror—and why creams and cosmetic treatments may never address the underlying cause. Learn the practical correction protocol designed to help restore your natural hormone rhythm, reduce the visible signs of stress, and address the problem beneath the surface.

You heard it right; Jim has flipped the script on his diagnosis, finding gifts in the most unexpected places—like better relationships and newfound purpose.

Get ready for a dose of motivation and a reminder that sometimes, life's biggest hurdles can lead to the most beautiful outcomes!Segments:[12:15]- Medical Mailbag: Risks of Overtraining[44:29]- Interview: Jim LoganLinksJames's Facebook page@instagram.comstage42025 on InstagramJames's Website

The highs, the crash, and what overtraining syndrome taught one age-group world champion about ambition, recovery and knowing when to stop. Sue Reynolds was a guest on this podcast three years ago. At that point she had lost over 150 pounds, taken up triathlon in her fifties, and become a world age-group aqua bike and mixed relay champion. Her first book, The Athlete Inside, told that story. But Sue didn't stop there. She wanted to answer a question most age-group athletes never dare ask seriously: what would happen if an ordinary amateur trained with the same expectations, the same daily habits, and the same meticulous standards as an Olympic-level athlete? That question took her to the World Triathlon Championships in Pontevedra in 2023, where she led the swim - alone, three minutes clear, asking an official which way to run because she had never been at the front before. It eventually took her somewhere she hadn't planned to go at all. Her new book, Across The Line, covers all of it. This conversation is one of the most honest I have had on this podcast about ambition, identity, the invisible damage of overtraining, and what it actually means to know your limits. 5 KEY POINTS Meticulous preparation is where races are won before the start gun. Studying the currents, dropping leaves in the water on race morning, switching pontoon position at the last minute. The details are where elite performance actually lives. Overtraining syndrome is not just tiredness. Unlike overreaching, which resolves with rest, OTS means the body can no longer adapt no matter how much recovery you give it. Sue calls it what it really is: under-recovery syndrome. ‘Edited honesty' is one of the most dangerous habits in endurance sport. Sue never asked for recovery. She dropped hints, pointed at data, said she felt like a walrus. But she never said the words and that gap is where things went wrong. An invisible injury is still an injury. OTS left Sue looking completely fine while being unable to function. Nobody could see it. Some days she could barely believe it herself. Periodised commitment beats single-minded obsession. Research shows athletes with interests outside their sport sustain performance better over time. Sue learned this the hard way, at considerable cost.   3 TAKEAWAYS Ask for recovery before you need it. Don't drop hints. Don't hope your coach spots it in the data. Say the words out loud. Saying yes when you should say no is not toughness. It is the thing that ends careers and breaks bodies. Fitness gives you options. Sue's goal is simply to get fit by 2027 and see what becomes possible. Not a specific race. Not a podium. Just options.   KILLER QUOTE "I could have said I need a rest at any point. Why didn't I say that? I took a deep dive into all the cultural messages about sucking it up. We put people who push through on a pedestal. And I had bought into all of it."   CONNECT with Sue Sue Reynolds is a two-time age-group world champion, author and student of high performance. All author proceeds from Across The Line go to the USA Triathlon Foundation to support athletes with disabilities.   Website: suereynolds.net Instagram:  https://instagram.com/sue.reynolds/ Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/suereynoldstriathlon/ Across The Line - Sue Reynolds - A case study of world-class performance that examines elite coaching, ambition, and the systems that make and break athletes.

Former NHL forward and Rockford IceHogs assistant coach Rob Klinkhammer joins Adam Lane to break down how a late-blooming junior turned himself into a 15-year pro through strength training, nutrition, and lifestyle discipline. Episode SummaryIn this Happy Healthy Strong x Oak Performance Radio crossover, Adam Lane sits down with former NHLer and current Rockford IceHogs assistant coach Rob Klinkhammer to discuss what truly drives long-term development. Rob walks through how he went from an average junior player who almost quit at 19 to carving out a 15-year pro career by tightening up his training, dialing in his food, and stripping out distractions.From there, they connect the dots to parenting and coaching: how those same principles now shape the way Rob develops AHL prospects for the Chicago Blackhawks and raises four boys to be active, resilient, and healthy for life. If you're a parent, coach, or athlete who wants real talk on performance, family, and health, this conversation lines up perfectly with the Happy Healthy Strong philosophy.Key TakeawaysWhy Rob's entire career shifted when he stopped “going through the motions” and fully committed to training, nutrition, and sleep at age 19–20.How AHL coaches actually think about player development, roles, and what it takes to make the jump to the NHL.Why fundamentals in both hockey skills and strength training beat flashy “Instagram drills” every time.How to safely introduce strength training to kids without chasing max weights or wrecking their bodies.How Rob and his wife structure breakfast, dinners, snacks, and on-the-go eating for four active boys.Why recovery, mobility, and injury prevention (hips, knees, shoulders, ankles) are non-negotiable for hockey players.How tools like sauna, cold exposure, and even manual labor fit into a bigger picture of resilience and long-term health.Rob's parenting lens: focus on building the best human possible, not “raising an NHLer,” and let performance be a byproduct.Episode Chapters00:00 Intro & show setup00:33 Rob's background & late-bloomer story02:18 From player to pro coach05:05 What pro players need from coaches07:13 Structure vs skills at the AHL level10:07 Roles, projection, and making the NHL13:06 Junior hockey, injury, almost quitting16:20 The year everything changed (training & lifestyle)19:38 Strength, power, and in-season work22:22 Overtraining and real-world conditioning27:01 Youth hockey and off-ice basics31:21 Fundamentals vs Instagram drills33:57 Free play, movement, and athletics38:33 How Rob's family actually eats43:16 Breakfast, snacks, and labels48:58 Being intentional, not obsessive51:46 Sauna, cold, and recovery at home56:47 Parenting four boys & expectationsAbout the GuestRob Klinkhammer is a former professional hockey player turned coach, with a 15-year career that spans the NHL, AHL, and KHL, plus an appearance at the Olympics. A late bloomer who nearly walked away from the game at 19, Rob resurrected his career by locking in his training, nutrition, and lifestyle, eventually earning time with multiple NHL organizations. Today, he serves as an assistant coach with the Rockford IceHogs, focusing on developing forwards and preparing prospects for the Chicago Blackhawks.

We talk through why “more training” feels so tempting in CrossFit and how that mindset quietly turns into under-recovery, nagging injuries, and lost progress. We lay out a practical way to spot overtraining, scale intelligently, and stay competitive while still training for longevity. • Defining overtraining as training volume where injury feels inevitable • Why the whiteboard and social comparison push extra sessions • Training age, wear and tear, and why masters athletes need different guardrails • Using a risk-reward lens and making decisions before you walk into the gym • Use versus abuse and how to ramp volume without blowing up recovery • Accessory work as a legit path to getting fitter while banged up • Measuring progress without chasing the “wrecked on the floor” feeling • Why crushing wheelhouse workouts can widen the strength-weakness gap • Competition prep basics, peaking, and practicing skills over piling volume • Mindfulness to catch stress and external validation before it drives overtraining • AI programming as a helpful tool that still needs human judgment Be on the lookout for next week's episode.

Send us Fan MailYou're eating clean, working out consistently, and doing everything you've been told should work.  So why do you still feel exhausted, inflamed, stuck, or like your body is working against you?In this episode, we unpack one of the biggest mistakes we see women make in midlife: trying to solve stress-related symptoms with more restriction, more exercise, and less food. While these strategies may have worked in the past, hormonal shifts in midlife can make your body far less resilient to chronic stress and far more sensitive to under-fueling, overtraining, and rigid wellness rules.We break down the three hidden stressors that often sabotage energy, metabolism, recovery, and overall well-being:• Under-fueling and its impact on blood sugar, cortisol, and energy• Over-exercising and the hidden inflammatory burden it can create• Over-restriction and the metabolic and mental stress of always trying to be “perfect”You'll learn why these patterns hit harder during midlife, how hormonal changes influence your stress response, and what practical shifts can help you feel better without doing more.If you've been blaming yourself because your old strategies aren't working anymore, this conversation offers a different perspective and a more sustainable path forward.Your body isn't broken. It may simply be asking for a different kind of support.In This Episode:Why total stress load matters more in midlifeThe connection between under-fueling and cortisolHow over-exercising can backfireThe hidden cost of restrictive wellness habitsPractical ways to support your body with food, movement, and recoveryReady to Stop Chasing Wellness and start building a strategy that works with your body instead of against it?

In this Q&A episode, I answer questions about how to train for varied competitive distances without getting pulled in too many directions, explain my compelling stance on avoiding coffee (and NSAIDs), and give a plug for Dr. Doug McGuff’s “Big 5” total-body workout—a simple, highly effective way to stay strong with just one workout per week. I also share thoughts on how corporations like Whole Foods Market and PF Chang’s continue to sell plenty of crap despite their healthy reputations, discuss the magic of Zone 1 walking for building awesome aerobic fitness, and explain one of the best ways to tell if you’re doing too much strength training. Hint: you shouldn’t be getting sore. These are practical, everyday insights you can use right away to simplify your training, improve your health, and avoid some common mistakes. TIMESTAMPS: Jack, age 60, asks about his running goals. He says he is confused about what Brad says the parameters should be. [01:11] Jack has another question about coffee. Is having that stimulant in the morning helpful for your overall well-being as an athlete? [07:38] Another listener asks: Should I take my high intensity interval training, my strength training like Dr. Doug McGruff's Big Five and a basically walking approach to races? [15:45] Some comments from YouTube include this with Brad's comment: How long should you sprint to achieve all the health benefits? Brad's answer: All your entire life. [17:56] Monica initiates a discussion on the industrial seed oils being used rather than butter in restaurants and even Whole Foods and P.F. Changs. [18:50] Anthony asks about building up aerobic fitness by walking. Brad's response is thatthe aerobic base is built at the lower exercise intensities where your body has sufficient oxygen to develop and fine tune your mitochondrial function [27:00] Chad experiences soreness after trying to complete body weight exercises every other day to failure. Brad answers: If you have recurring soreness from your strength training regimen, you are most certainly overdoing it. [30:48] Dr. Doug McGruff's book, Body by Science, has a great regimen of five big workouts to do once a week. [32:22] Chad is also asking about his schedule for training. You want to have ebbs and flows in your schedule such that you have built in downtime and you always respect the importance of intuition and adjusting on the fly.

Training loads and overtraining are often cited as one of the top reasons dancers get injured. And they are certainly a large contributor to dance injuries, especially overuse injuries. But what about the dancers who we know are not overtraining but still getting injured? In this episode, we explore some of the factors that could be contributing when overtraining is not the issue.Additional podcast episodes mentioned in this episode:Episode 10: Training Load Management for DancersEpisode 9: Rest & Recovery for DancersAdditional resources:Dance Prehab IG postLearn more about Erika Mayall:Follow me on Instagram: @dancephysioerikaLearn more about me on my website: https://www.allegroperformance.comSign up for my newsletter: Click hereSend me an email: hello@allegroperformance.comRegistration is now open for The Savvy Dance Teacher: applied dance science teacher training course.

You lift weights 3-4 days a week, you hit your protein, you sleep well, and the muscle you've built still isn't showing. For a lot of lifters over 40, the highest-leverage change is something else... how much you move the rest of the day, through a combination of steps, getting up frequently, NEAT, and a little cardio.The advice that you're overtraining and need to do LESS to recover more is the right advice for some lifters but wrong for others, and the difference comes down to... context!Learn why a lifter who trains hard but sits most of the day stays stuck, how non-exercise activity and total daily movement shape your metabolism, and what recent step-count research says about the dose-response curve for adults over 40.We cover the constrained energy expenditure model and where it actually applies, the role of movement during perimenopause and menopause, and a simple way to audit your own week to find the lever that's holding back your fat loss and body recomp.Enroll in Eat More Lift Heavy, the 26-week coached program where adults over 40 learn to pull the right levers (training, nutrition, and daily movement) to lose fat, build muscle, and manage their physique for life.Timestamps:0:00 - Overtraining vs. the sedentary lifter 4:45 - When "less is more" is correct 7:00 - The lifter who trains hard but sits all day 10:30 - NEAT and the 4 components of metabolism 13:00 - Steps and the dose-response curve 16:00 - Constrained energy model of calorie burn 17:45 - How to audit your week 20:05 - Adding steps before cardio 22:15 - Adding light cardio sessions 23:30 - Movement breaks every 30 minutes 24:56 - Movement during perimenopause and menopause 28:30 - Bonus: 30-second movement auditEpisode Resources:Get MacroFactor (the app referenced for tracking expenditure) and use code WITSANDWEIGHTS for a 2-week free trialThe 20-Minute Fix for Menopause Belly Fat

Am I Overtraining… or Just Tired? How to Tell the Differencewww.run4prs.com

Welcome back to Strong + Unfiltered. This episode turned into a spicy little reality check about perimenopause, overtraining, body recomposition, endurance culture, nervous system overload, and the internet making women think they're doomed in midlife. We're talking about why your habits matter more than your hormones, why some women are running themselves into the ground emotionally and physically, and why HRT is not magic fairy dust you throw onto a metabolic dumpster fire.   We also get into body recomposition in your 40s, what actually worked for me over the last 16 weeks, why I intentionally stopped running, how much protein women actually need, the importance of sleep + recovery, and the role stress, histamine, and nervous system dysregulation play in how you feel.   And yes… we somehow also ended up ranting about marathon culture during pregnancy, social media support, avocado-induced histamine chaos, and why some endurance athletes respectfully need therapy.   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 Jess on IG   

371: Dr. Molly Maloof joins me to discuss cortisol, burnout, fasting, women's metabolism, and why so many women may actually be overdoing wellness in the name of health. We break down how chronic stress, over-exercising, under-eating, and high cortisol can impact weight gain, hormones, metabolism, and overall well-being, along with who should and shouldn't fast, low-carb eating, intermittent fasting for gut health, boundaries, emotional health, human connection, and why learning to slow down may actually improve your health more than constantly pushing harder.

If you're over 50 and still doing cardio to stay healthy, you're wasting your time and may actually be making things worse. This episode breaks down the exact movements, supplements, and anti-aging strategies that build real strength, protect your bones, and extend your longevity without spending hours in the gym. Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey sits down with Will Harlow, a master's-level physiotherapist and founder of HT Physio, whose YouTube channel has amassed over 1.5 million subscribers by teaching people over 50 how to stay mobile, active, and independent without painkillers or surgery. Will graduated with a first-class degree from Brunel University, trained in both the NHS and professional sport, and has spent his career proving that what most doctors call "just aging" is actually optional. Together, Dave and Will dismantle the myths keeping older adults weak, injured, and overtrained. They get into why resistance training beats cardio for human performance and metabolism at every age, how anabolic resistance changes your protein needs after 50, which three compound movements deliver the biggest functional gains, and why your grip strength may be the most underrated biomarker you're ignoring. Dave also shares how he used biohacking, targeted supplements, and functional medicine principles to grow bones so dense his surgeon couldn't cut through them. They also dig into vestibular training, hydration, magnesium, Vitamin DAKE, and how tools like AI are now helping people identify movement problems before they become joint replacements. This is essential listening for anyone serious about longevity, anti-aging, biohacking, sleep optimization, supplements, smarter not harder training, human performance, and building a body that performs decades past its expiration date. You'll Learn: Why chronic cardio decreases bone density and muscle mass in people over 50 The 3-2-1 resistance training method that delivers 80% of results in 40 minutes a week How anabolic resistance changes protein requirements as you age and what to do about it The three compound movements every person over 50 should master first Why grip strength predicts overall health and how to train it How vestibular disorders silently destroy balance and confidence, and how to reverse them The supplement stack (Vitamin DAKE, magnesium glycinate, digestive enzymes) that supports bone, muscle, and metabolism Why 7,000 steps beats 10,000, and where that number actually came from How Dave used biohacking and functional medicine to grow bones that broke a surgeon's saw Why AI tools can now spot gait problems that lead to hip replacements years later Thank you to our sponsors! - Active Skin Repair | Get 25% off your order until May 21, after that, it drops back to 20%, visit ActiveSkinRepair.com and use code DAVE.

The guys break down six weird signs you're overtraining — the ones most people miss until it's too late. Beyond the obvious soreness and fatigue, they cover broken sleep, increased cravings for comfort foods, irritability, low libido, low mood, and repeated injury. Sal shares how he experienced overtraining firsthand during a double-split routine in his 20s — with zero soreness — and why that made it so hard to catch. They also cover why fitness fanatics are actually more at risk than beginners, how hormones like testosterone drop when you push too hard, and why a scheduled week off can produce 29% better strength gains than training straight through.

In this episode of the HealthspanMD Podcast, Dr. Robert Todd Hurst, MD, FACC, FASE sits down with Dr. Selen Courtney to explore one of the most overlooked pillars of longevity: physical performance. They dive into how strength, stability, and functional movement play a critical role in preventing frailty, extending healthspan, and maintaining independence as we age. From understanding progressive overload and muscle failure to identifying hidden blind spots like power and balance, this episode offers a practical, science-backed roadmap to staying strong, resilient, and capable for life. Dr. Selen Courtney is a Doctor of Physical Therapy with a unique background in psychology, yoga, orthopedics, and leadership at the Mayo Clinic.

Why is it that the last 10–15 pounds are ALWAYS the hardest to lose? In this episode, we break down one of the most frustrating parts of fat loss: hitting a plateau when you're doing everything "right." We explain: • What a metabolic wall actually is • Why eating less and doing more eventually stops working • How your body adapts to calorie deficits • Why you may be losing muscle instead of fat • The power of reverse dieting and building your metabolism Most people try to cut their way out of a plateau… But the real solution?

In today's episode, we're joined by Renee McGregor, a  Sports Dietitian specialising in Athlete Nutrition, REDs, and Hormonal Health. We explore the risks of underfueling and overtraining, alongside the psychological drivers behind disordered behaviours, including comparison culture, perfectionism, and the pressure to always do more. Renee also shares practical strategies for developing a healthier, more sustainable approach to nutrition and training, helping athletes perform at their best without compromising their long-term health or wellbeing.We also discuss the importance of body awareness, adequate recovery, and learning to listen to your body to build a more balanced relationship with food, exercise, and performance.https://reneemcgregor.com/@r_mcgregor

Most people think getting in shape is about building muscle or losing fat… But what if you're actually losing something MORE important? In this episode, the guys break down the 6 fundamental human movement skills that most people lose over time — not because of age, but because they stop practicing them. From overhead mobility and squatting… to running, jumping, and even throwing — these are the abilities that keep your body functioning, pain-free, and resilient for life. The problem? Even fit people lose them. This episode will change the way you think about training forever — shifting your focus from just aesthetics… to true functional fitness.

Becca Chilczenkowski is a Board-Certified Practitioner, female hormone and metabolic specialist, and the Founder and Co-Owner of FitMom, a leading virtual functional health practice helping women resolve complex chronic health issues and optimize their performance, energy, and longevity. Becca's path into functional medicine didn't begin in a classroom; began when her own health stopped making sense. Despite being a competitive CrossFit athlete ranked in the Top 100 in the world, her body suddenly felt like it was working against her. She was gaining weight despite strict nutrition and training, battling fatigue, mood swings, digestive issues, and constipation yet traditional medical answers fell short. That experience led her to functional medicine, where she discovered the powerful connections between the immune system, metabolism, hormones, gut health, and detoxification pathways. What began as a personal healing journey quickly evolved into a career devoted to helping other women uncover the true root causes of their symptoms. Over the past several years, Becca has helped oversee thousands of complex client cases through FitMom.  Outside of her clinical work, Becca is a wife, mother of two, former competitive athlete, coffee enthusiast, and passionate advocate for helping women become informed, empowered stewards of their health.   00:00 Introduction to Hormonal Health and Nutrition 01:11 Becca's Journey: From Athlete to Hormone Specialist 06:20 Understanding Body Fat and Hormonal Impact 11:40 The Dangers of Comparison in Fitness 14:17 The Stress of Overtraining and Its Effects 18:59 Identifying Hormonal Imbalances 23:57 Gut Health and Its Connection to Hormones 27:07 Night Sweats and Detoxification Issues 29:23 Understanding Body Changes and Proactive Health 30:02 The Role of Peptides in Health 31:29 GLP-1: Benefits and Risks 38:07 Social Media's Impact on Body Image 42:23 The Importance of Rest and Recovery 46:58 Evaluating Health and Weight Loss Strategies 48:50 Working with Health Professionals for Optimal Care   LINKS:  www.fitmom.co https://www.instagram.com/thehormonequeen/ Keto Mojo - https://keto-mojo.com/affiliate-link/?rfsn=7323937.137af4&utm_source=refersion&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_campaign=7323937.137af4     

Calories in vs. calories out (CICO) has been debated in fitness and nutrition circles for decades. Is weight loss really just about eating less and moving more? Or is there more to the story?In this episode of the Co-Movement Gym Podcast, Andrew breaks down the truth about CICO — why it's biologically true, why it's so controversial, and the major misunderstanding that has led to decades of confusion and bad weight loss advice.

Send a textWhat does strength actually mean in this season of life?For many women, strength has quietly become performative. Longer workouts, more discipline, pushing through exhaustion, and constantly wondering, “Am I doing enough?” But real strength isn't about proving yourself. It's about supporting yourself.In this episode, we move beyond the traditional definition of strength training and explore a deeper, more sustainable version of strength through the three pillars of wellness: body, mind, and spirit.You'll hear a refreshing perspective on:Why longer and harder workouts aren't always better (especially in your 40s and beyond)The hidden pressure of the “should” voice and comparison cultureHow mental strength is built through self-awareness, not self-criticismThe emotional side of overworking, overtraining, and staying busyWhat it means to stop performing strength and start choosing what's aligned for your life and energyThis episode is especially for the woman who wants to feel strong and empowered, but is also tired of the constant pressure to do more, be more, and push harder.True strength isn't about domination or discipline alone. It's about self-trust, sustainability, and choosing what genuinely supports your body, your mind, and your life right now.If you've ever felt stuck between wanting to feel strong and feeling completely exhausted by the pressure of “doing enough,” this conversation is for you!

For years, you did what you were told. Eat less. Move more. More cardio. Smaller portions. Be disciplined. And for a while? It worked. Until it didn't. In this Fit Girl Magic episode, I'm sharing my own story as a former fitness competitor who spent nine years controlling every bite, every rep, every inch of my body… and what happened when menopause knocked me flat and the old strategies stopped working. If you feel like you're doing "all the right things" but your body isn't responding anymore, this episode is for you. We're talking about: Why weight loss after 40 feels harder What metabolic adaptation really is How years of dieting can slow your metabolism Why strength training matters more than endless cardio The truth about muscle loss after 35 Why eating more might actually be part of the solution How to measure progress beyond the scale Most women spend 17 years dieting. Many try over 100 diets in their lifetime. And when those strategies stop working, we assume we failed. But the truth? Your body adapted. Undereating. Overtraining. On-again, off-again dieting. Decades of "trying harder." Your body learned to survive on less. And now it needs something different. If the scale hasn't moved but your clothes feel different… If you feel softer even though you're working out… If you're scared to eat more but exhausted from eating less… This conversation will help you understand what's really happening inside your body in midlife. You are not lazy. You are not broken. You don't lack willpower. Your strategy just no longer matches your biology. Ready to Find Out What Your Body Actually Needs?

Instead of supporting your behavior, it becomes the behavior." "When progress depends on perfect numbers, it makes your workouts less enjoyable and more like something that needs to be done to reach a particular numeric goal." "Simplicity is not a step backward. It's a strategic advantage for sustainability and maintaining your health over the course of your life." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Are you exhausted all the time? In this solo episode, Darin breaks down why so many people feel chronically exhausted despite eating clean, exercising, and "doing everything right." He explains how modern life disrupts mitochondrial function, circadian rhythm, stress signaling, and nutrient availability, and why fatigue is not a personal failure, but a biological signal. This episode offers a grounded, practical roadmap to restoring energy by realigning your environment, habits, and daily rhythms with how the body is actually designed to function.     What You'll Learn in This Episode: Why chronic fatigue is exploding—even among healthy, active people How mitochondria do far more than "make energy" The role of circadian rhythm, light exposure, and timing in energy production Why stress, overtraining, and modern lifestyles drain cellular energy How emotional suppression and unexpressed stress affect vitality The difference between forcing energy and allowing energy Simple daily practices that support mitochondrial repair How breathwork, stillness, and social connection restore resilience Why nutrition alone isn't enough without rhythm and recovery How to realign your biology with the modern world     Timecodes 00:00:00 – Welcome to SuperLife and the intention behind this episode 00:00:32 – Sponsor: TheraSage and natural frequency-based healing 00:02:10 – Happy New Year + why this conversation matters now 00:02:37 – Are you exhausted even though you're "doing everything right"? 00:03:26 – The modern energy crisis and rising chronic fatigue 00:04:12 – Why surface-level health advice no longer works 00:04:27 – Mitochondria: more than energy factories 00:04:59 – Circadian misalignment, EMFs, and modern stressors 00:05:36 – Overtraining, stress load, and lack of recovery 00:06:00 – Fatigue as a signal, not a lack of discipline 00:06:18 – How artificial light disrupts internal clocks 00:07:25 – Discipline as alignment with natural rhythms 00:07:36 – Emotional release, primal expression, and energy recovery 00:08:47 – Why "why am I tired all the time?" is exploding online 00:09:24 – The mitochondria as environmental sensors 00:10:06 – Stress signaling, thoughts, and cellular energy flow 00:11:18 – Breathwork and slowing the nervous system 00:12:24 – Social connection and low-stress signaling 00:13:02 – Sponsor: Bite toothpaste and eliminating plastic exposure 00:15:19 – Morning sunlight and circadian priming 00:15:52 – Reducing artificial light at night 00:16:15 – Nutrients that support mitochondrial function 00:17:29 – Sleep timing, consistency, and repair 00:18:20 – Evening routines and melatonin protection 00:19:46 – Small daily steps compound into real energy 00:20:17 – Antioxidants, inflammation, and recovery 00:20:49 – Training smarter, not harder 00:21:31 – Breathwork, sauna, and recovery rituals 00:22:26 – Nutrition, protein, and polyphenols 00:24:37 – Five daily energy takeaways 00:25:24 – Energy is permitted, not forced 00:26:03 – Listening to the body and closing reflections 00:26:49 – SuperLife Patreon and community support     Join the SuperLife Community Get Darin's deeper wellness breakdowns — beyond social media restrictions: Weekly voice notes Ingredient deep dives Wellness challenges Energy + consciousness tools Community accountability Extended episodes Join for $7.49/month → https://patreon.com/darinolien     Thank You to Our Sponsors: Therasage: Go to www.therasage.com and use code DARIN at checkout for 15% off Bite Toothpaste: Go to trybite.com/DARIN20 or use code DARIN20 for 20% off your first order.     Find More from Darin Olien: Instagram: @darinolien Podcast: SuperLife Podcast Website: superlife.com Book: Fatal Conveniences     Key Takeaway "Fatigue isn't failure.

Dr. Martin Picard, PhD, is a professor of behavioral medicine at Columbia University and an expert on how our behaviors and psychology shape cellular energy production and rates of aging. He explains that your mitochondria don't just “make energy”; they translate what you do—your mindset and your relationships—into the energy you experience as vitality or lack thereof. He explains how exercise, nutrition, sleep, meditation, and even certain thought patterns and our sense of purpose can charge our cells like batteries. He also shares findings that hair greying is the result of cellular stress and is reversible. This episode links physical and mental ‘energy' with cellular energy and provides science-supported tools to improve your physical and mental health. Read the episode show notes at hubermanlab.com.
