THRIVE CLIENT Q+A - 7th JULY 2025
from The Keep 'Er Lit Podcast Hosted by Tara Gallagher
Questions asked by THRIVE clients: TRAINING Is cardio important along with weight training? If my program has both barbell and dumbbell variations of the same movement—like squats or chest press—do I really need to do both? How can I balance fat loss goals with performance-based goals like training for a half marathon? What are the benefits of creatine, and should I be taking it if I’m strength training? NUTRITION: How do I navigate eating out or trying special foods without feeling like I’ve “blown it”? I often tell myself, “it’s a limited-time thing” or “one bite won’t hurt,” but it adds up. I’m good with my nutrition during the week, but I really struggle to stay on track on weekends or around my period. How can I stay more consistent? What’s the best way to manage fat loss when I’m sick, injured, or bedbound? Should I still be aiming for a deficit? MINDSET: Is it just that I don’t have enough motivation or discipline? I feel fine physically, but I can’t help thinking I’d feel and look better if I just lost more weight. How do you deal with negative or triggering comments from others around food, weight, or dieting? LIFESTYLE: When you're traveling or moving around a lot—especially during summer—what are your non-negotiables to stay consistent with your healthy habits?
