In this EP, I share insights from a recent one-on-one coaching call focused on getting back on track, finding motivation, and regaining momentum. I've been havin’ many conversations with the Warriors about deeper goal setting, talking about the importance of big, specific, measurable, and time-based goals.
I also talk about the concept of periods of maintenance and momentum, explaining how to leverage both to achieve your visions - It's about embracing the process, discovering joy in new challenges, and putting ourselves on the hook to explore our true potential.

Recording outside in the sunshine, I reflect on a quote I came across: "The secret of your future is hidden in your daily routines." This sets the stage for a chat about the significance of maintaining consistent daily habits, particularly in building a strong foundation for your metabolism, energy levels, and training.
I share insights from a recent coaching call where we discussed why your body craves consistency, especially at the start of a fitness journey. Establishing and maintaining consistent practices in eating, training, sleeping, and managing stress are crucial for developing resilience and flexibility over time.

This is Day 2 of the 20-day sprint - Episode 2/14! In today’s EP on the pod, we talk about the importance of refinement in training.

I highlight the significance of owning and refining each movement during warmups to maximise strength, stability, and results.

In this EP, I welcome back the OG’s of the metabolic nutrition space, The Real Food Gangstas - Josh and Jeanne Rubin. This is Josh and Jeanne’s fifth or sixth time on the pod! In today’s EP, they share their insights on the importance of simplifying the healing process to reduce stress and complexity. This conversation dives deep into how lifestyle changes, light environment, and daily habits critically influence our overall well-being.
Early last year, a noticeable shift in Josh and Jeanne’s approach to their work emerged. Moving away from solely educational content, they began to simplify their message, focusing on straightforward and actionable healing strategies. Today, they introduce us to their 'Healing Hub' and 'Nourished Nervous System' programs, designed to foster new healthy habits and behaviours that reshape our biology and promote holistic health.
Key Takeaways:Importance of Lifestyle Factors:
Home environment, relationships, and professional situations play a significant role in the healing process.Small changes, such as walking after meals, can have a profound impact on health.Creating Space for Recovery:
Emphasising the necessity of making time for recovery, even with a busy schedule.Understanding that healing might not look perfect, but it’s essential to adapt and make the most of available time.Decluttering the Health Landscape:
Simplifying the approach to health by focusing on essential, manageable habits.Avoiding the chaos and stress often found in the current health and wellness space.Reshaping Experiences and Biology:
Developing new, healthy habits and behaviours to reshape daily experiences.Recognising that these changes in daily inputs influence hormonal balance, nervous system function, and overall health.Quotes:
"And some people say, well, I have five kids. You can't, I can't, you have to focus on the time you do have, you have to make that choice to do it. It might not look how you want it to, and it might not look how you think it should look. But you got to do it differently because what else can you do? You either stay on the same track and you break down or you start making changes and you show your kids how to do it differently.""We're saying, this is your story, and look at your day, your week. We need to start looking at the things in your life that you need to shift, that you have to adapt, that aren't working for you, that are working for you in a sense. Because really what we're doing is, we're creating new healthy habits and behaviors. We're reshaping your experiences, which reshapes your biology, because all of that in your day are the inputs that create the outputs in your hormones, your nervous system and everything."00:00 Welcome to The Warrior School Podcast with Special Guests01:54 The Evolution of Josh and Jeannie's Work in Metabolic Nutrition and Healing02:38 Diving Deep into the Healing Hub and Nourished Nervous System Program03:01 The Shift Towards Simplicity in Healing and Nutrition05:48 Josh and Jeannie Share Their Personal and Professional Transformations10:55 Exploring the Impact of Social Media on Health Education and Business15:11 The Power of Simplifying Healing and Embracing Personalised Health Strategies22:57 Navigating the Challenges of Social Media and Reconnecting with Authentic Healing31:12 The Journey of Unlearning and Reconnecting for True Healing37:43 Addressing the Emotional Body and the Importance of Starting the Day Right39:36 The Impact of Blue Light on Your Morning Routine40:49 Creating a Healthier Morning Routine42:04 Shifting Focus: From Supplements to Habits44:01 Introducing the Healing Hub: A Community for Change51:57 The Power of Simplicity in Healing01:03:05 The Importance of Environment and Energy in Healing01:13:37 Simple Steps to Transform Your Health01:15:23 Joining the Healing Hub and Concluding Thoughts

This episode is inspired by Nikita - one of the Warriors. It is dedicated to her and all women who are trying to find their fire so they can chase their vision and goals. I talk about the necessity of building an unwavering belief and overcoming obstacles like energy depletion and fear. Throughout, I emphasise the importance of ‘putting a fire in your belly’ and the value of setting big goals—not for the sake of outcomes but for the transformative journey they provoke.
I reflect on my personal experiences, including Olympic weightlifting, to illustrate the power of motivation, visualisation, and maintaining baseline standards in achieving one's desires. I encourage you to recognise your worth, confront fears, and chase your dreams - go FIND YOUR FIRE!!!

I share the first part of a five-part series focused on how you should approach exercise, specifically addressing the crucial role of strength training in creating the body you want. I debunk myths about fitness post-40, presenting a new, empowered approach that prioritises strength, energy, and confidence over traditional diet and exercise narratives. I discuss adapting exercise to your current life stage, and highlight that change is not only possible but achievable through strategic, informed strength training and self-prioritisation.
Key Takeaways:Strength Training is Essential: Strength training is highlighted as a cornerstone for women's fitness, particularly in the context of hormonal changes and body composition shifts that occur in the late thirties and beyond.
Navigating Through Noise: The episode discusses the importance of cutting through the fitness industry's 'noise' and focusing on strategies that offer clear, actionable guidelines tuned to women's unique physiological needs.
Old Game vs. New Game: A comparison is drawn between outdated fitness ideologies focused on weight loss and restriction ('Old Game') versus a more holistic approach ('New Game') emphasising strength, energy, and confidence.
Prioritising Health and Fitness: The importance of making one's health and fitness a top priority to maintain energy, functionality, and the ability to lead a full life is underscored

In today's episode is the first part of an essential five-part series focused on how women, especially those in their 40s and beyond, should approach exercise.
I share insights into the complexities of women's health and the crucial aspects of building a fitness regimen that not only aligns with your goals but is also sustainable and responsive to your unique physiological needs.
Drawing from conversations with experts like Dr. Stacey Sims and incorporating the approach of 'playing to win' in the realm of women's fitness, I explore the foundational guidelines critical for developing a fitness strategy that resonates with your goals and life.
Key Takeaways:The significance of strength training and its impact on muscle density and overall health.The role of cardiovascular training, including HIIT and Zone 2 workouts, in enhancing energy efficiency and fat burning.Understanding the importance of speed and power exercises for bone health, especially during the perimenopause and menopause stages.The foundational principles of establishing a solid fitness base, including nourishing adequately, prioritising sleep, and regular movement.00:00 Welcome to the Warrior School Podcast00:49 Introducing the Five-Part Series on Exercise for Women04:26 Understanding the Guidelines for Women's Exercise06:59 The Importance of Vision, Current Season, and Foundation in Fitness16:23 Deep Dive into Guideline One: Strength Training21:48 Exploring Cardiovascular Training and Speed & Power26:04 Building a Strong Foundation: The Female Training Pyramid30:35 Warrior School Success Stories

In episode 276, we explores the significance of recognising and navigating through periods of 'Maintenance' and 'Momentum' in your health and fitness journey.
'Maintenance' refers to periods focused on maintaining your current standards and baselines amidst life's demands, ensuring consistency. 'Momentum' describes times with fewer external pressures, allowing for aggressive progress and the pursuit of new goals, embodying a phase of growth, results, and setting new standards.
Recognising which phase you are in - Maintenance May or Momentum May - and adopting the appropriate strategy ensures balanced, sustainable progress towards your health, fitness, and personal goals.

My guest today is with Elena Rossi, a connoisseur in female libido and sexuality. Elena shares her personal journey from suffering sexual dysfunction and pain to experiencing a sexual awakening and dedicating her life to helping women navigate their sexuality.
The Ep. delves into topics like the difference between sex and sexual intimacy, societal conditioning on sexual norms, the importance of safety and trust in sexual relationships, and the misinterpretations surrounding popular media like 'Fifty Shades of Grey.'
