#24 Using massage to improve your performance with Matt Stenzel
The Flex Success Podcast episode #24 - Using massage to improve your performance with Matt Stenzel
Massage. We aren't talking about the dodgy Thai place up the road that does the same thing to each person that walks in the door... well maybe some extras for 'special customers'. We are talking sports and remedial massage with none other than Matt Stenzel, powerlifter and director of Axiom Performance Recovery. Axiom work with a range of clients but a big bulk of these are powerlifters seeking injury prevention, pain relief, recovery and preservation of their soft tissue through such a demanding sport.

The Flex Success Podcast episode #16 - Weight neutral approaches: should fat loss always be the goal? With Dr.Gabrielle Fundaro,CISSN,CHC and Flex Success coach Shannon Beer.
HAES, IE, mindful eating, informed eating. These are all alternatives to a traditional 'diet' and through this episode, we aim to improve the dialogue around these alternatives.
Traditional diet strategies are commonly discussed as the only options to create change, but this is a fresh take on things. In this episode with 2 guests, Dr Gabby Fundaro and Flex Success Coach Shannon Beer, we dive into HAES, IE (intuitive eating) and mindful eating. We discussed their benefits and when these may be a more appropriate approach than traditional strategies, and the common misconceptions surrounding them.
