The Barbell Mamas Podcast | Pregnancy, Postpartum, Pelvic Health
Can traditional pregnancy exercise advice be holding you back? Join me, as we challenge the status quo and redefine what it means to stay fit during pregnancy and motherhood. In our latest episode of the Barbell Mamas podcast, we explore the origins and impact of common phrases like "Just because you can doesn't mean you should" and "Just listen to your body." With a blend of personal experience and professional insight as a pelvic floor physical therapist, we unpack how these sayings, though well-intentioned, might instill unnecessary fear in expectant and new mothers striving to maintain their fitness routines.Our conversation shifts to the reality of exercising while pregnant and postpartum, shining a light on misconceptions and emphasizing the importance of staying active. We explore how many supposed exercise contraindications during pregnancy are not as restrictive as they seem and argue against the widely accepted notion of a mandatory six-week rest period post-birth. By advocating for gradual and individualized exercise plans, we aim to empower mothers to embrace their unique journeys with confidence, underlining the value of professional guidance while acknowledging accessibility challenges.Finally, we celebrate the individuality of postpartum recovery, encouraging more nuanced discussions that move away from one-size-fits-all advice. Our excitement for upcoming research that could reshape current exercise narratives adds a hopeful note to our dialogue. As we conclude, we reflect on the warmth of Thanksgiving and express our anticipation for the holiday season, sharing a bit of snowstorm excitement to bring a festive close to this enlightening episode.___________________________________________________________________________Don't miss out on any of the TEA coming out of the Barbell Mamas by subscribing to our newsletter You can also follow us on Instagram and YouTube for all the up-to-date information you need about pelvic health and female athletes.

Do you struggle with constantly prioritizing your gym routine over time with God? Do you feel frustrated with God when your body has physical limitations, such as injury or pregnancy? (Ahem, speaking for myself here.)It doesn't take a seasoned personal trainer to tell you that exercise is good for your health, nor a Biblical scholar to tell you that God calls us to take care of this Holy Spirit-filled temple, which is our body. But we certainly know that God calls us to serve Him as our #1 priority and that serving other idols (such as exercise of physical fitness) runs counter to His Word. In today's episode we are discussing idolatry of exercise and how to break free from it, so God can reign and rule our lives, not the bondage of a strict gym routine. This one hits close to home right now, because I've been navigating a tough pregnancy that has humbled me physically. As a personal trainer of over 11 years and a pre/postnatal certified coach, this feels extra humbling to be the least physically fit I've been.Tune into this episode for both my personal journey in this second pregnancy and 10 questions to determine if exercise is becoming an idol in your own life. 0:00 Introduction4:18 Prayer5:01 Recap of my second pregnancy15:45 The Lord called out my exercise idolatry17:15 What Paul has to teach us about idolatry20:32 Does the Bible tell us how much to exercise?22:18 How to know if your exercise routine is becoming idolatrous23:00 10 questions to determine if exercise is becoming an idol in your life25:24 If you feel conviction, it's time to do something differentlyScriptures referenced in this episode:Galatians 4:8-111 Corinthians 6:19-20Exodus 20:3Know that you can always reach out with prayer requests or listener questions by emailing me at movedbyhimpodcast@gmail.com (or message me on Instagram at @movedbyhim_)!Did you know that leaving a 5-star rating takes only a couple seconds?

Time for some myth busting! I have been in the prenatal fitness space for over 5 years now and, just when I think these myths are on their way out, I find out they still exist. Providers and people in general are still sharing poor, outdated advice and many people just trust it… but it's not evidence-based. As a result this causes fear that can hold many women back from truly serving and supporting their body with movement. Let's be honest, there's enough misleading information in the online space.

"Active moms are going to have more active infants!" Pregnancy is an imprinting experience for the moms, infants and families. Since every action may influence the fetus' health, knowledge about how to act during pregnancy is crucial. But also for minimising the risk for complications during and after pregnancy, exercise plays a critical role. - What exercises are recommended? - What are contraindications? - What about high-intensity training? AND - How can you individualise training? These are just a few questions that I asked my guest Stephanie Paplinskie. Steph is about to finish her PhD about "The impact of exercise in the postpartum period" at the University of Western, Canada. But she is so much more than a PhD candidate. Starting as an Aquafit instructor, she started her own buisness to "enpower women to live the most active/healthy pregnancies they can." Steph is an expert in the field, is doing workouts herself every day, teaches at several universities and is about to start her own podcast. She's simply unstoppable!
What exactly is happening within the body when we try to push out baby...? This is the crux of todays conversation.

Today I draw on my education, client experiences as well as my own personal experiences, to explore what is actually happening anatomically when we push compared to one other strategy; softening and opening. We touch on 4 key concepts:The Uterus as the primary, involuntary, 'pushing' muscleThe power of the poop!Tuning out of your surroundings, to tune inwards and how your body is birthing babyI also offer a 20% discount to my online self paced pregnancy and birth prep programme: "Strong Beyond The Bump".

Kristen Holmes, Emily Capodilupo, and Dr. Shon Rowan of West Virginia University detail a first-of-its-kind study with WHOOP on pregnancy and exercise. The research revealed that participants experienced an increase in resting heart rate and a decrease in heart rate variability for much of their pregnancies, but saw a bounce back in those metrics in the weeks before birth. The participants also reported higher HRV scores postpartum compared to their heart rate variability baseline before pregnancy. Kristen, Emily, and Dr. Rowan discuss the exclusion of pregnant women from studies on exercise (4:10), the current guidelines for exercise during pregnancy (8:36), the myths about exercise for women.(12:09), diet and exercise during pregnancy (13:39), the study findings (14:56), HRV during pregnancy (18:09), Postpartum data and HRV increases (22:05), and menopause (30:35).Support the show (http://whoop.com)

I've been thinking a lot about fertility in the past few years. Now that I'm pregnant, it's even more on my mind. There was a lot I did in advance to help my body prepare for this experience. Diet is a large part of this. Yet, as my guest explains in this episode, there's a lot more involved than just what you eat. About Anna Bohnengel, RD After earning her MS in Nutrition Science & Policy at Tufts University, Anna trained in clinical research and medical nutrition therapy at the National Institutes of Health Clinical Center. She kissed the east coast goodbye and moved to Portland, Oregon to accept a position at OHSU to develop and manage wellness programs for researchers, healthcare providers, and educators of the academic medical center. Anna's passion for prenatal health was born with the opportunity to develop a curriculum for the Pregnancy Exercise and Nutrition program. In 2015 she started her first private practice, helping women to feel their best through good food. Since then, Anna has taken the dive even deeper into women's functional medicine, and what it takes to be a healthy mom growing a healthy family. The preconception period is a uniquely powerful time when women have the most influence over health and wellbeing for generations to come. So, this is where Anna focuses on helping women achieve optimal health now, as a prerequisite to a healthy pregnancy, a manageable postpartum, and having the energy to enjoy motherhood. Anna's life work is teaching women how to nourish themselves to truly feel good - so they can grow the family of their dreams with energy, confidence, and joy. Getting What Your Body Needs Without Losing Your Head I know a lot of women who consider themselves to be healthy eaters. Yet, they struggle to get pregnant. Anna explains that this is due to several factors. One is that many women simply aren't eating enough. In order to create a whole new person, your body needs to know that it has enough nutrients for the job. However, Anna emphasizes that you shouldn't stress yourself out over being perfect about what and how much you eat. Struggling to get pregnant is stressful. Don't add another stressor by obsessing over getting the perfect diet. Anna describes finding a sweet spot between getting the right nutrients without psyching yourself out. When to Start Preparing Your Body for Pregnancy There's also a large role that prenatal supplements can play. Anna says that, ideally, women would start preparing for pregnancy a full year in advance. Six months is pretty good too, but it should really be no less than ninety days. It takes your body some time to get your GI health to the place where it can absorb the right nutrients and get your nutrient needs stabilized. A full year gives you enough time to fix any deficiencies long before the egg is forming. It also gives you time to balance macronutrients and evaluate your partner's fertility. What you shouldn't do is to accept a diagnosis of infertility as final. There is so much you can do to increase your chances and it's never too early to start. What early steps can you take to prepare for pregnancy? Leave a comment on the episode page! In This Episode How Anna became a nutritionist specializing in fertility [5:00] Steps you can take well in advance to prepare for pregnancy [8:00] Why simply getting enough food is essential to fertility [14:50] Considerations for using supplementation to support fertility [21:00] How early you should be starting a prenatal diet [37:40] Why second pregnancies can be harder to conceive [41:35] First steps to take to improve fertility [44:00] Quotes “If you can treat your body really well in the pre-conception period, that has multi-generational benefits.” [7:05] “I don't think that nutrition fixes all fertility issues. But the research is very clear that nutrition can have a huge impact.” [15:17] “Just because you're not pregnant one month doesn't mean that you're not ever going to get pregnant in subsequent months. ‘Infertility' makes it sound like it's a life-long diagnosis which it isn't. There's so much you can do to improve fertility.” [43:38] Review Fed and Fearless on Apple Podcasts!

First Name Last Name Email Cell # (1+area code) --------------------------------------------------------------- Listener Q&A: ====================================== [contact-form 3 "AskBen"] ====================================== chunkybearcub asks via twitter @bengreenfield: what do u think of citruaid citrulline amino acid supplement? Helen asks: Please can I ask about my friend who has had a medical with the following areas of concern; Blood count MCHC 31.8g/dL, Gamma Gtp 167 IU/L and LDL Cholesterol 4.6/total chol 6.7. He is keen to know what these figures mean and what he can do to treat naturally/lifestyle changes. Nick asks: I've read that kombucha should not be taken by pregnant women.. why is that? Chuck asks: I'd like to listen to some audio books while I drive and I know you often recommend some good ones. What are your picks for health and life balance/prioritization/efficiency? In my response to Chuck, I recommend he visit my personal blog at http://bengreenfieldtri.blogspot.com/, and I also recommend Psychocybernetics by Maxwell Maltz. Steve asks: I am an avid follower of your training and nutritional advice, successful ultra-marathon runner and a neurological physical therapist in the UK. My younger brother is soon to return to the UK. He is morbidly obese, has acquired type 2 diabetes while living abroad, and suffers from associated health problems. I would love to get him on the right path to good health and longevity, but frankly the diabetes issues confuses me. Please could you advise of good training and eating strategies, or some good resources to refer to. In my response to Steve, I recommend he look into low-carbohydrate diabetes diet books written by Dr. Richard Bernstein. Patrick asks: I'm getting all 4 of my wisdom teeth pulled out of my head on Thursday, and the dental hygienist has told me some terrifying "facts" about my future nutritional practices. She said I should expect to eat semi-solids like mashed potatoes and applesauce for a couple days. She went on to say that because of the craters (for lack of a better word) that will be left after surgery, I'm forbidden from hard foods for 6 months, including all nuts and seeds! What is your take on this? What are some food suggestions you have that can support 70.3 and IM triathlon training, but won't be as damaging to my dental health? I encourage Patrick to read the SuperHealth diet book by KC Craichy and look into LivingProtein and LivingFuel (read the label), along with this Vitamix/green smoothie video, and the BenGreenfieldFitness Inner Circle. Layla asks: I know CoQ and ubiquinol supplements are recommended for older people for energy and antioxidant benefits, but since these molecules work in the electron transport chain in mitochondria, will they also increase metabolism? I also have a second question. I live somewhere really cold so I'm interested in shifting my metabolism toward heat production. Therefore, I'm wondering if there are any ways for adults to convert white fat to the more metabolically active brown fat. Are there proton uncoupling supplements that act like thermogenin (ucp1)? Craig asks: Whenever I drink from the aero bottle on the bike I get a burning sensation in the back of my throat that feels somewhat like GERD. I know it's not the water source, it's the same one I've been putting in bottles for a decade. What gives? How can I stop it? BTW, great tip using the flexible refrigerator tubing in the aero bottle. -------------------------------------------- Remember, if you have any trouble listening, downloading, or transferring to your mp3 player just e-mail ben@bengreenfieldfitness.com And don't forget to leave the podcast a ranking in iTunes - it only takes 2 minutes of your time and helps grow our healthy community!
