The Balance Theory

You know when it's that time of the month and you couldn't think of anything worse than exercising? Listen in as Health Coach and Exercise Physiologist Sarah Liz King discusses how we can and should optimise our training regime alongside the phases of our menstrual cycle. We also chat about PCOS & Hypothalamic Amenorrhea - how can you know which one you have and what are the differences in terms of your training and diet? Oh and what about the pill, can that really help or hinder menstrual issues? Sarah shares all her insight and opinion on today's pod.Lastly we do a deep dive into intuitive eating - what does this buzz word actually mean and how can we become intuitive eaters? I loved this chat so much and learned a whole bunch about my body and biology.I would strongly recommend checking out Sarah's own podcast "Holistic Health Radio" for a deeper dive into these topic areas.

So, if you're the common denominator amongst all of your bad relationships, you either need to change your mindset or get real and finally spring clean the relationship room (eek yes I know you probably don't want to hear it)! Sometimes this isn’t always as easy as it sounds, especially when it’s family or colleagues, so tune in for my thoughts on these tricky areas.I’ll also muse a little on the concept of control and whether this is causing the “negativity” you perceive. Let’s channel your thoughts and emotions around “bad” relationships … after all, they’re JUST as toxic as “bad” thoughts, feelings, foods & drink. Listen and find out where you stand!Disclaimer: I am not. Psychologist or a professional in coaching relationships and this is purely my own personal advice & thoughts (which I’m hoping you will resonate with to some degree!)If you enjoy this weeks episode, it would mean the world to me if you to share it with someone you think will love it, or leave us a rating/review on your preferred channel ♡ Stay Balanced ------------Exercise from this week:Take a few DEEP breathsThink of people who light you upTwo points of gratitude linked to why they light you up (GO DEEP!)Now that you're calm & positive, re-think of a negative relationship and consider if there are any aspects of point 3 that you think can potentially relate to this one. If the answer is no, then you know what you need to do. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/thebalancetheory. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Today I share my thoughts on "beginnings" and their close but common link to "failing". I think the fear of failing, and the emotions associated with 'new beginnings' often prevent people from getting started A LOT more than they should. I share some insights into how we can reframe our understanding and connection to these feelings, and kick beginnings in the butt! Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/thebalancetheory.

The conversation then turns super raw and heart felt as Antoinette shares her challenges with balance, especially when it came to becoming a parent!
