You really are responsible for everything that happens in your life... That may sound harsh but when you realise this is when things can really turn around for you. Does that mean when hard and often unfair or tragic situations are your fault...no it doesn't. Unfortunately shit happens in life. But you are responsible for how you react and respond. in this weeks podcast I speak with Christina Hill who was caught in her own tragic situation that only changed when she owned her own part in in.

In the early stages of change you are likely to have set backs...so how do you get started again? I know how hard it can be in the beginning to stay on course so I thought I would put together this podcast on some tips to how you can get back on track when you fall off the wagon of your health Journey.

What you see is not always what you get on IG from lighting, posing and cherry picking photos I see a lot of media that paints a false picture and down plays the work needed to achieve that athletic physic. I recently did a photoshoot and have been very up front and honest that how lean I got is NOT where I could stay if I wanted to be healthy, have balanced hormones, energy and continue to build muscle. I've put more body fat back on now and yes I still use my photos for social media but I'm always honest about that. However I still look shapely and sculpted. It is possible to get that body, just not in 12 weeks. That shit takes time. From changing lifestyle habits, learning to train in a way that will actually grow muscle and supporting it with nutrition...Ruby and I talk through all the things needed to build a physic like ours. you can find Ruby at https://www.instagram.com/transformxruby/ As always my DMs are open for a chat at https://www.instagram.com/strengthtraining.nutritionist/

Find your training besties!! When I first started training and getting my health on track, as much as my family and friends supported me there was still that void of having someone who just GETS IT!!

In this episode we get together for a chit chat about each of our journeys, the impact of getting our health under control and how we do it with life's competing pressures.

Tracey and I first met when we worked together in piblic health. Already knowing there was more than fad dieting, cutting food groups and staving herself we found we had a common interest in prmetabolic eating. We came back together when I started my business and her goal was to GET STRONG for her 60th birthday and shes been doing exactly that. She talk about how she reached her lowest point at 110kg and how she feels now finally in control of her weight while feeling the best she has and getting strong for her golden years. Tracey has done all of this while navigating the ups and downs life throws at us.
