Sometimes Instagram drama can be productive, and this conversation is proof. After joining in on a classic MOPs & MOEs debate about periodization, Dr Jordan Feigenbaum of Barbell Medicine joined us on the podcast to continue the conversation. While "Doctor of Medicine" might overshadow the rest of his certifications, his perspective is uniquely shaped by the rest of the list which includes Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist, ACSM Health and Fitness Specialist, USA Weightlifting Level 1, CrossFit Level 1, and Starting Strength Seminar Staff. As usual, our conversation spanned a wide variety of topics including injury risks in training, social determinants of health, and a really interesting conversations about the role of coaches in promoting health. We think you guys will really enjoy this one, and hopefully this shows how debates can add value as the tactical human performance space expands.

This podcast is all about evolution: how scary, difficult, frustrating, and ultimately freeing empowering it can be to figure out how to let go of things that aren’t serving you anymore and allow yourself to grow, change, and move on. Whether in fitness, business, relationships, or life in general, the key to authenticity and happiness is being able to learn from your experiences, pick and choose what works for you, and sometimes, take a leap into the unknown. Today’s guest, nutritional therapy consultant, podcast host, author, and fitness and nutrition coach Steph Gaudreau talks about her own journey, including her recent significant rebranding and all the fear that comes with rebuilding after the painstaking process of building a brand and a following. Steph talks about shifting priorities, stepping out of a “scarcity mindset,” and how staying true to yourself, even when that truth changes, is the best way to live and build a business.     Steph Gaudreau’s mission is to help women create bigger, bolder, fiercer lives — by building health from the inside out She’s a Nutritional Therapy Consultant, author, blogger, coach, podcaster, and the creator of the former Stupid Easy Paleo.

So often, women are expected to be “palatable” to everyone, says Steph: not too strong, not too outspoken, pleasing and cute and happy to fit in to the mold others set for them. But doing the hard work of staying true to ourselves, even when it’s hard, will reflect positively in our businesses, our relationships, and even our fitness.   Follow Steph on social media @steph_gaudreau, and learn more about her books, programs, podcast, and coaching at stephgaudreau.com   ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Show notes: http://www.shruggedcollective.com/mmr-gaudreau ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Please Support our Sponsor: @beekeeper: hwww.beekeepersnaturals.com/musclemaven for 15% off

On today's episode my Weightlifting coach Dan Bell and I sat down to do a 2019 Arnold Sports Classic recap. We've been trying to find a date that works for both of us; but it took us a few weeks to actually be able to recap how the 2019 Arnold went. My team, Rubber City Weightlifting, did okay as a whole. We had eight lifters compete over the course of the weekend. Unfortunately only four of them posted a total. Two had to withdraw because of injury and the other two were unable to hit the lifts that they needed on that day. For me personally this was the biggest meet of my life. I needed to post a total of 250kg to qualify for the 2019 Master's World Weightlifting Championships. I've been struggling with a hip injury for the past year that the doctor's can't seem to figure out what's exactly wrong. This has left me mostly unable to squat for the past year. I came into the meet with a squat that was approximately 20kg less than what I needed to have the strength necessary to successfully lift the qualifying total. But you know me by this point; I'm going to give it hell no matter what. Dan Bell is the owner and head coach of Rubber City Weightlifting, an Olympic Weightlifting gym. Dan has over 30 years of experience in strength sports. Dan has been coaching Olympic Weightlifting for the past 19 years. He has coached athletes of all different skill levels and ages. From local meet lifters to national level lifters all the way to Olympic level lifter Holley Mangold. Dan and Holley were featured on the MTV show True Lift while Dan was preparing Holley for the 2009 Pan American Championships in Guatemala. Dan is not just a lifter and coach, he studied English from the Ohio State University. Dan has published the book “Nadir's Fire”, that you can find on Amazon. Dan is one of the top Olympic Weightlifting coaches in the country. He is very good at developing national level lifters from people with no prior lifting experience. Dan also teaches USA Weightlifting Level 1 coaches clinics a few times a year for people wanting to expand their knowledge of Olympic Weightlifting. If you are an aspiring strength coach you need to take one of his clinics. You can find Dan on Facebook and Instagram @RubberCityWeightlifting.

People have been using his design for jerk blocks for years as they are some of the best available. Plus, they are free.

Strength has several facets; it can mean being quiet, surrendering, or letting go of things. Strength isn't always just this raw charge moving forward. Sometimes, strength is realizing that you need to give yourself a rest day. - Steph Gaudreau Whether you are a mother, entrepreneur, or athlete, how can you honor, respect, and uplift all of your layers? JOIN THE FACEBOOK GROUP | REVIEW THIS PODCAST  20% OFF ORGANIFI - USE CODE: WELLNESSFORCE On Wellness Force Radio episode 217, USA Weightlifting Level 1 and CrossFit Coach, Author of both The Paleo Athlete and The Performance Paleo Cookbook, and Host of the Harder to Kill Radio podcast, Steph Gaudreau, returns to uncover how you can give yourself the permission to accept your body as is, what you can do to support #MeToo in your own way, and how you can be both strong, confident and soft, emotional at the same time. Discover how you can give your mind and body the full attention they deserve by setting healthy boundaries with people, commitments, and technology. "People feel like they need permission to rest when they do not have a sense of their inner power. Society sees this as a sign of weakness but I think it's a sign of strength to say, 'I need help. Can I do this?'" - @steph_gaudreau on @WellnessForce Ep 217 http://bit.ly/wfpodcast The Performance Paleo Cookbook DELICIOUS, NUTRIENT-PACKED MEALS TO FUEL A BETTER PERFORMANCE Get your copy of The Performance Paleo Cookbook by Stephanie Gaudreau here You train hard to perform well; your food should fuel the process and taste good, too. The Performance Paleo Cookbook gives you all the information and recipes you need to prepare delicious food that will help you get stronger today.

What "Paleo" means to her today and how her views have changed. How she has worked through her fears of money and not knowing how to handle her personal narrative of wealth. Whether or not our interest in the people we look up to and our heroes is beneficial for ourselves. What "hate following" is and how we can stop giving our energy to it. Why strength has so many different faces and meanings. What steps we can take to reframe how we see and think about our bodies. The biggest limiting belief about women and lifting weights. How to find a gym where you will feel comfortable at. Why the narrative that women can't be strong is completely false. How we can support women who want to work on improving their physical fitness. How she honors both her strong, confident self and highly sensitive personality. Why we feel like we need permission to take a break and just rest our mind and body. How she balances her life working from home and her advice to people struggling to take their mind off of work and pressure. What to eat after a workout; especially if you're insulin sensitive and looking for gluten-free options. The downfall of following a diet that bans certain foods compared to adding in better, healthier options as a swap. Steps we can take for social justice with #MeToo and #WeToo through face to face discussion. How we can improve communication with the people in our lives by setting boundaries around cellphone and technology use. How we can set boundaries when it comes to helping people and allowing them to work through their own process. About her upcoming book and the possible title of it, "The Harder to Kill Handbook." Power Quotes From The Show "Food labels help us navigate but they can also be constricting and then they don't even necessarily serve the greater purpose of eating healthy. It doesn't matter if something is Paleo or not; it's about whether or not it works for you." - @steph_gaudreau http://bit.ly/wfpodcast "What's the difference between a leader and an influencer? Are you following somebody because you feel that you can trust them as a leader or are they just influencing you to buy something? Are they forcing you to follow their exact both or are they challenging you to follow your best path? Ultimately, it comes down to you asking yourself, 'Am I following this person because they've inspired me to follow my best self or because I feel like I'm lacking something and I just want to get to where they are and be like them?' " - Steph Gaudreau "Too much inward focus can be really stifling for people and serve to force where we are not at. This is one of the reasons why positive affirmations don't work for a lot of people because our subconscious brain knows we're not there yet in our journey. Positive affirmations work for some people and not others but I think the point is that if we're too focused on 'we' but we don't ever consider ourselves, then we start to lose ourselves. Perhaps we start to not take care of ourselves because we're only caring for others before we put energy back into our own system. I don't know the right answer but I think we need to be fluid, flexible, and surrender or take a stand when necessary. - Steph Gaudreau "The biggest limiting belief that I run across with my female athletes is that 'I will get hurt.' It's crazy to me because I never ever hear this when I hear people talking to men. No one ever says to men, 'Be careful because you might get hurt,' yet the number of times I've seen someone say this to a woman is countless. Being physically active does not automatically cause injury. We need to take the ego of that idea; the ego is the most dangerous thing in the gym. Working outside of your limits, knowing you're outside of your limits, and continuing to push yourself because you want to keep up with everyone else is dangerous." - Steph Gaudreau   Links From Today's Show Steph Gaudreau Facebook Twitter Instagram YouTube WFR 016 Steph Gaudreau The Paleo Athlete by Steph Gaudreau The Performance Paleo Cookbook by Steph Gaudreau Harder to Kill Radio Podcast Harder To Kill Radio Episode 108 | Cellulite + Confidence: Fierce Love Friday Harder to Kill Club on Facebook Steph's post about cellulite on Instagram Angie Alt and Mickey Trescott of Autoimmune Wellness Stefi Cohen Gary Vaynerchuck Brené Brown Tim Ferriss Leaders Eat Last by Simon Sinek WFR 070 Tony Federico WFR 132 Christine Hassler About Steph Gaudreau Steph Gaudreau combines a formal education in biology / human physiology (BS Biology – Human Physiology), 12 years of science teaching experience (MA –Education and National Board Certification), holistic nutrition training (Certified Holistic Nutrition Practitioner), and an unabashed love of tasty Paleo food (human with taste buds).
