The Flex Success Podcast episode #8 - A practitioners take on injuries & niggles with Dr Nick Papastamatis
Some physical pains are unproblematic and are no cause for a check-up, like sore muscles from a workout. But other seemingly innocent injuries, like a sprained ankle, can snowball into many bigger issues up the chain. In this episode, we discuss this with Dr Nick Papas, as well as his new habit of undie sniffing. Yeah, you read that right.

#7 Can you SEE a woman's health? with Alicia Fistonich
The Flex Success Podcast episode #7 - Can you SEE a woman's health? with Alicia Fistonich
The fitness industry presents a fairly narrow image of what a 'fit' and 'healthy' woman looks like. It also sets up a social norm of hypersexuality that is somehow connected to being 'fit' or being a 'fitpro'. In this episode, guest Alicia Fistonich and your co-hosts Dean & Lizzy discuss an alternative to this norm and why this is so important.
