162: Protein to Energy Ratio

Did you know that humans are hardwired to eat until we get enough protein? Amino acids are so critical to health that your body will drive you to keep eating if you’re not getting enough. The more we prioritize protein, the quicker our body will be full and satisfied which lessens the risk of overeating the energy foods (carbs and fats). Excess energy gets stored as fat so, the better we manage our P:E ratio, the better we regulate our appetite, our weight and our health.

In this week’s podcast we’re diving deeper into this nutritional concept as we prepare to start my new program - 10x Stronger - which prioritizes protein and building muscle. Come listen and come join us!

161: The Strategy of Protein Distribution

If we want a leaner body composition, healthy weight, strong bones, production of feel-good neurotransmitters, high brain function, steady hormones, beautiful skin and shiny hair - we need more than a scrape-by level of protein - we need optimal protein intake. Sadly, the RDA (Recommended Daily Allowance) is just not enough.

In this week’s podcast, we’re talking about an ideal amount of protein plus the strategy of even protein distribution for better muscle protein synthesis, appetite control, blood sugar stability and overall general health.

Come listen as I lay out the plan for my new program 10x Stronger starting in May!

160: Muscle, Metabolism & Minimum Effective Dose

Last fall I turned 47 and all of a sudden I noticed that my arms were waving back at me - you know, that underarm skin seems flappier than it used to be. Then I realized that, actually, my whole body feels flappier than it used to be - kind of loose and collapsed. I thought, Here we go! Welcome to middle age, sisterI

What most people don’t realize is that we start losing muscle mass in our mid 30’s and unless we work to counteract that process, it’s a downhill spiral toward weight gain, bone loss, and overall diminished health. Muscle is our highest metabolic asset and the organ of longevity. When it starts to go, so does our metabolism and our overall health.

This set me on a journey of formulating a plan for myself which I’ve decided to turn into a new challenge and program for my clients. I figure I can’t be the only one who needs a gameplan!

In this week’s podcast we’re talking all about muscle, metabolism and minimum effective dose (which is the current approach to muscle building that I’m working on!). Come listen and learn more about the why, the how, and the what to do about it!

159: Renew Your Mind, Transform Your Body with Life Coach Tana Inskeep

When it comes to improving health, most people know what to do, they just don’t do it. That’s a mind issue, not a body issue. We have to transform our minds before we can transform our bodies because our mind tells our body what to do. That’s where life coaching comes in.

If you have ever had a life coach, wanted a life coach or wondered - what IS a life coach? - you’ll love this week’s podcast with Coach Tana. She shows us how to reframe self-sabotaging thoughts, move beyond black and white thinking, and stop the vicious shame cycle that prevents us from achieving our health goals. This is the Mind part of Spirit, Mind, Body and we must do the work, y’all. Come listen!

157: Hormones, Libido and Sex with Dr John Gray

We all know that we can improve hormones through nutrition, exercise, less stress and more sleep. But did you know that you can manipulate your hormonal production by the way you spend time alone or with friends? By the kind of work that you do? By the conversations you have with your spouse?For instance, men need “cave time” so that they don’t become overly estrogenic.
Too much “task time” can make women estrogen deficient.
Being too “needy” can make women estrogen dominant.
Complaining to your husband reduces his testosterone.
Appreciating yourself can increase your progesterone. These are concepts we talk about in this week’s podcast with Dr. John Gray and that you can find in his latest book: Beyond Mars and Venus.
We also cover a lot about sex and libido so - hold on to your hat - this week’s episode might blow you away! 😅

154: Superfasting for Spiritual Feasting

One of the benefits of longer fasting is sharpened mental clarity. This is because when you burn through glucose (sugar), your body starts burning fat and producing ketones. When your brain doesn’t have glucose to use as fuel, it uses these ketones from fatty acids, which is a much cleaner burning fuel. It’s like the fog lifts and your brain becomes more awake. Is it any surprise that God designed us with the means to clear our brains to hear Him better? Fasting enhances our spiritual experience. We are called to fast, and when we do, it puts us in the position of receiving His guidance more clearly.

“So we fasted and petitioned our God about this, and he answered our prayer.” Ezra 8:23

This week’s podcast is all about the way Super Fasting leads to Spiritual Feasting. Come listen to what this means for you in spirit, mind and body.
