#29 Raising the game with Neha Patel

The fitness industry and media as a whole perpetuate this idea of what a ‘healthy’ body looks like.  I know women who had abs but didn’t have a menstrual cycle and were miserable despite their posts on how great life was!  It is my one hope that people come to appreciate what healthy feels like, rather than how it looks - which is different for everybody at different stages of their lives.Joining me on the podcast today is an incredibly dear friend of mine, Neha Patel, with a clear vision on how she wants to tackle this problem.  Neha is relatively new to the fitness space, having worked as a Coach and Personal Trainer for just over two years, but has brought so many valuable life experiences to the role. In this episode, Neha recounts what her experience losing eight stone was like for her and shares how that period in her life shifted her opinions surrounding the fitness industry as a whole. She shares her goals within the Coaching field and what she hopes to achieve when it comes to the success of her clients, as well as her philosophies on everyone’s individual journeys. We also get candid about the importance of receiving guidance as a Coach and why there shouldn’t be shame when reaching out for help. To hear more, tune in to Episode 29 of Fitness UnFiltered!Some Questions I Ask:What did your ‘rock bottom’ look like?

Today’s conversation is going to be a little different. The murder of George Floyd has sparked global outrage and it has been an eye-opening few weeks for a lot of us.

#24 Developing good food habits instead of calorie restriction with Debs & Holly of Nuco Nutrition.

Today I’m joined by Nuco Nutrition Coaches and Crossfit Trainers, Debs Manlove and Holly Hammill!

Because of their collective backgrounds in both psychology and biology, Debs and Hols know to take these things into account when bringing in new clients and actively create safe environments for them through the messages they promote. If you’re keen to learn more about building sustainable, healthy habits in your fitness and nutrition, then have a listen to Episode 24 of Fitness UnFiltered! Some Questions I Ask:What is Nutrition Coaching?

#23 Sport as therapy for ADHD & dyslexia; creating boundaries; and FST, with Niki Bird - Show Notes

In today’s episode of Fitness UnFiltered I speak with my good friend, Niki Bird! Niki is a professional Athlete playing for England Touch Rugby, as well as a Personal Trainer and Fascial Stretch Therapist. Niki and I take a deep dive into FST and how she has integrated it into her training sessions. We also talk about our experience first starting out as PT’s, how sport and fitness can be used as a coping mechanism, and how setting boundaries and prioritising our time has benefited our working lives. Niki has an interesting background in the health and fitness industry, as in her early life sport was used as a form of escape due to struggles with school and academics. Before she was diagnosed with ADHD and Dyslexia, there was never a clear understanding of what she needed to improve or work on. Sport was her way of learning to communicate and socialise with others as well as gaining control over her situation, a feeling that can be hard to achieve as a personal trainer. Working in the fitness industry is riddled with thoughts that your client’s needs must be put before your own. We’ve learnt over time that this mindset can not only be damaging to ourselves, but to the people we’re trying to help as well. Through sharing both mine and Niki’s insights, we hope you can take away some useful tips on how to break those thought patterns and create a balance in your life. If these topics sound like your kind of listening, get yourself comfy and tune in to episode 23 of Fitness UnFiltered!Some Questions I Ask:How did you get into sport and what impact did it have on you? (1:32)You knew early on that playing sport was your coping mechanism, even before you were diagnosed with ADHD + Dyslexia. How did all of that manifest into the work you do now? (7:57)How did having that diagnosis change things for you? (12:42)Since you’ve started doing FST, how has it changed your approach with clients? (18:43)How do you balance being an Athlete, Personal Trainer, and Fascial Stretch Therapist? (20:31)What will your classes look like moving forward during lockdown? (39:31)In This Episode You Will Learn:How coaching and team sports can assist with communication and socialising (8:44)What Fascial Stretch Therapy is all about (16:10)How FST can be applied in personal training sessions (18:53)How setting boundaries and prioritising yourself creates a healthier work environment (21:03)The thought process behind burnout and overworking yourself (25:46)What influence sport injuries had on Niki when pursuing FST (33:28)More on Joslyn’s background in sports rehab (35:37)Information on Niki Bird’s FST class concept (37:59)Connect With Joslyn Thompson Rule:InstagramWebsiteEmailConnect With Niki Bird:InstagramFacebookResources:Book - “Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less” Author, Greg McKeown  Hosted on Acast.

#22 A journey back to health with Naturopathic Nutritional Therapist Keris Marsden

Our bodies have a deep rooted connection with our minds. For a lot of us, this concept isn’t an easy one to grasp and it can be difficult to assume that our mental stressors play a factor in chronic pain or physical ailments. Today, I sat down with my good friend and Naturopatic Nutritional Therapist, Keris Marsden.  For those of you who have been lucky enough to listen to Keris in person or follow some of her work, this recording is a little different.  Instead of educating us around our hormonal health and wellbeing, Keris has spent the last year on her own healing journey. In this episode we chat all things alternative medicine, life during lockdown and what role mental health plays in your overall physical health. As two women in the health and fitness industry, learning how to effectively practice self care and adopt a mindset that benefits our own mental state has been a difficult path. I’m a self proclaimed “recovering perfectionist” and know how hard it can be to break out of those negative thought patterns which carry into our everyday lives. It’s all too common to focus on the lows, as a previous guest, Emma Hackett explained - nearly 80% of our thoughts are negative and habitual. But reflecting on those thoughts and behaviours doesn’t have to be a daunting exercise if we use that information correctly. A lot of the time when something is awry in our bodies, it’s a signal that something needs help in our minds, and learning how to tune into that information is vital. If you’re curious to learn more about these topics, grab a cuppa and join us on episode 22 of Fitness UnFiltered!  Some Questions I Ask:What has your personal health journey been like? (3:22)What made you decide to look deeper into the issues going on in your body? (8:37) What did your success with Chinese medicine look like? (14:55)What does your future self look like in terms of adopting positive habits? (50:06)In This Episode You Will Learn:What Electroacupuncture is all about (16:55)How the neuroendocrine immune system plays a role in the mind / body connection (21:48)Gabor Mate’s philosophy on authenticity, Author of “When The Body Says No” (30:08)How our thought patterns affect everything around us + statistics from Emma Hackett (Mental Performance Coach) (40:32)Plus Much MoreGet In Touch With Joslyn Thompson Rule:InstagramWebsiteEmailGet In Touch With Keris Marsden:WebsiteInstagramFitter Food CommunityResources:Book - “When the Body Says No” Author, Gabor MatePodcast - Under The Skin with Russell BrandBook - “Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself” Author, Dr. Joe DispenzaPodcast - “How To Fail” Elizabeth Day   Hosted on Acast.

#10 From 47kg to seven times European Regionals Athlete with Laura Faulkner

Today I speak with the lovely Laura Faulkner about her journey to become a seven-times CrossFit European Regionals Athlete. Starting her journey weighing just 47kg and taking years to gain the weight that allows her to hold her own on the competition floor has been as much a mental journey as it has been a physical one. Managing OCD and channelling how her brain works into focused training rather than getting caught up in her head is a lesson for us all in managing how we deal with our stuff. Laura is clear that her story, methods and message are unique to her and we must all find our own way - it has been a pleasure to watch her journey up until now and I feel like this is just the beginning for her.   Hosted on Acast.
