We will be combining clips from an array of guests we have had on the show to talk about such subjects as Metabolism, Menstruation & Menopause, Hormones and this week’s topic…Muscle & Hypertrophy.

We also hear from Dr. Phil Maffetone on aerobic training volume, Dr. Mindy Pelz on fasted and fed workouts along with the use of creatine and amino acids. We hearken back to our conversation with Layne Norton, where we discuss why women avoid building muscle, the psychological rewards of showing up for yourself in the gym and how it builds grit. We hear from Don Saladino, trainer to some of the biggest hollywood stars to chat about physique building for women, their upper body strength, and lifting heavy around your cycle.

Today's episode is a throwback to the Holidays of 2021, where if you were listening to the Better Show, we hope you were able to enact Dr. Stephanie Estima's advice for maintaining your diet goals. If you've ever gone on a diet and failed (who hasn't), it's not because of your body. It's because of your mind. Dr. Stephanie reveals the one mind-blowing neurological principle that can make or break your diet success. She'll reveal what happens in the brain and why most people throw in the towel and say F it to their diets. Then, she'll teach you how to "hack" your brain's pleasure centre to forever quit that toxic behaviour and get your health on track.Episode Overview: 0:00 Introduction3:15 Weight Loss Failure4:20 Calorie Deficit Diets6:10 Case of the F*ck Its7:10 Shame, Blame, and Guilt9:20 How Pleasure and Addiction are Related10:45 Changing Your Behaviour13:10 Unhealthy Behaviour Around Certain Foods14:58 Breaking the Addiction and Shame Spiral17:15 Bringing Awareness to Your Habits19:34 Dietary Boundaries20:50 Solidifying Your Habits22:00 Conclusion Sign up for my FREE MASTERCLASS: HEALTHY OFFERS - for health practitioners looking for strategies to earn more moneyAre you A Healthcare Practitioner?

This week on the Better show we bring back the AMA - Ask Me Anything with Dr. Stephanie Estima. We went to instagram and had a flood of questions, and the majority of them revolved around Female Muscle Building. We begin the episode by breaking the myth of Creatine especially for women’s use of it. We then discuss the best ways women can gain muscle, as we aren’t the same as our male counterparts. The age-old question that is asked of Dr. Steph, “Through training and nutrition, is there a way to gain muscle, but still limit fat gain?” Well listen in to hear the answer. Dr. Estima tells us how she feels about Amino Acids, and other ways to boost performance for training. We push into the next discussion around training Fasted, or training Fed, as some people may prefer fasted over fed workouts. We have a question about glucose levels rising during workouts and if it’s normal to see that, and finishing off the episode with Dr. Stephanie’s favourite protein powder. We are looking forward to our next AMA so be sure to follow Dr. Stephanie Estima on instagram to get the opportunity to contribute to the next one! Episode Overview: 0:00 Introduction2:00 Female Physique4:30 Creatine for Women20:30 Best Method to Gain Muscle for Women38:30 Strategy to Build Muscle while Limiting Fat Gain55:00 Amino Acids and Alternatives to Boost Performance58:30 Fasted or Fed Workouts1:00:30 Is it Normal to get a Glucose Spike during Fasted Exercise?1:04:20 My Favourite Protein Powder1:05:50 Conclusion Phil Maffetone Episode Link: https://youtu.be/qHKi0M3fPqQ My Favourite Protein: Use code "DR.ESTIMA10" for 10% offhttps://www.qnihealth.com/dr-stephanie-estimaMy Amazon Store:https://www.amazon.com/shop/dr.stephanie.estima?ref=prof_v_infl Sign up for my FREE MASTERCLASS: HEALTHY OFFERS - for health practitioners looking for strategies to earn more moneyAre you A Healthcare Practitioner?

This week on the Better Show we are pleased to present Dr. Stephanie Estima's second solo episode on Fasting for Women. Dr. Stephanie thought she would share part of her presentation that she showed at Oxford University, who are currently working in the Oxford Longevity Project. Today’s episode is a continuation from PT1 which covered some of the differentials we have to consider when fasting as a woman. We continue our discussion on fasting for women with PCOS, what the symptoms are and what tweaks we can make to better your well-being. If you are an Estrogen Dominant woman, be sure to listen to this as your typical fasting instructional might be leading you in the wrong direction and you should consider a caloric-fast…and no that is not an oxymoron. Next Dr. Stephanie Estima educates us about chronic inflammation and stress, and how the majority of all humans have these symptoms. We discuss how fasting can benefit and sometimes rectify these symptoms like weight loss resistance, lack of energy, insomnia and difficulties staying asleep. The next topic is Leptin, the good old hormone that signals to your brain that you are full and to stop eating. Fasting can be more difficult for women compared to men, as a baseline women have 3-4 times more leptin than their male counterparts. We round out this episode of the Better show by talking about the negative effects of fasting on the thyroid. This impacts women that have been fasting for a long time, so be sure to test and look out for your thyroid as you incorporate fasting into your lifestyle long term, We hope this episode helped shed some light on fasting as a woman, be sure to go back and check out our previous episode on the topic, and we hope to catch you next week for our AMA! Episode Overview: 0:00 Introduction2:00 PCOS12:30 Fasting with PCOS20:45 Fasting with Estrogen Dominance29:00 Chronic Inflammation & Stress33:50 Leptin40:20 Fasting’s Impact on the Thyroid50:00 Conclusion Link to Part 1 - Why Fasting for Women is Different with Dr. Stephanie Estimahttps://youtu.be/dREHxD1Mrdo Sign up for my FREE MASTERCLASS: HEALTHY OFFERS - for health practitioners looking for strategies to earn more moneyAre you A Healthcare Practitioner?

This week on the Better Show we are pleased to present Dr. Stephanie Estima's first solo episode on Fasting for Women. Dr. Stephanie thought she would share part of her presentation that she showed at Oxford University, who are currently working in the Oxford Longevity Project. Today’s topic is based around some of the differentials we have to consider with respect to fasting as a woman. This will be a series of episodes where we deep dive into this topic and it’s many facets, so buckle up we are headed to Nerdville. We start off with some basic differences between men & women and the leading cause of death for both sexes, Cardiovascular Disease. Then we push in the the benefits of fasting, insulin resistance and what it is like to approach fasting as a female rather than a male. We discuss the different types of fasting, Caloric or non-caloric and briefly touch on the double P…the period poops. Ladies, you know what we are talking about. We continue the episode by discussing the impact fasting has on your period, and what this means at certain stages of your life. Finally we touch on Estrogen dominant women and how they should approach fasting, so be sure to listen up to see if any of these pertain to you! Thanks for watching and listening, we will see you next week with part 2. Episode Overview: 0:00 Introduction3:00 How Different is it for Women?10:00 Cardiovascular Disease18:00 Educating Doctors20:00 Fasting28:00 Insulin Resistance37:30 Fasting as a Woman28:00 Different Type of Fasting49:30 Your Period52:30 Fasting with PCOS57:30 Estrogen Dominance & Fasting1:00:30 Conclusion  Sara Gottfrield Episode Link https://hellobetty.club/ep204/  Sign up for my FREE MASTERCLASS: HEALTHY OFFERS - for health practitioners looking for strategies to earn more moneyAre you A Healthcare Practitioner?

This week on the Better Show we are pleased to present Dr. Stephanie Estima's speech at Changemaker 2022. Dr. Stephanie Estima has over 19 years in practice, she’s a best selling author, and ofcourse your host of the Better Show on this here channel. We begin by talking about the impact of dopamine and serotonin on our neurophysiology when we win. How and why it feels great to win, and how our brain remembers that joyous feeling, pushing us to win again. Dr. Stephanie explains the difference in longevity between winning and just missing out on winning by studies on Olympians, high level athletes, and on Nobel Peace Prize winners and runner ups life spans. We dive back into dopamine and how testosterone responds in accordance with its level. Winners and losers have different levels of testosterone, winning will set you up towards neurological momentum, and losing can send you into a neurological tail spin respectively. We continue with implementable strategies on how to increase your levels of dopamine, including chocolate, nicotine, the pursuit of sex, and exercise. Additionally when you think about something that is pleasurable to you, your brain will release dopamine as well as when you eventually engage in said activity. The dopamine and oxytocin increase we get when we are a part of a community is something we as a human species need and is great for your brain and longevity. Next we hear the pitfalls we can fall into by creating a reward system based around a future outcome, and how time seems to slow when we pursue that and will require a lot more dopamine to attain. We finish off this speech by discussing the mindset shift way from the outcome of winning and towards putting forth 100% effort. This change in approach can be drastically different and your brain will release dopamine during the process and not just at the end of the race. Episode Overview: 0:00 Introduction1:40 What it feels like to Win5:00 Winning’s Impact on Longevity6:30 Dopamine & Testosterone10:00 Ways to Increase your Dopamine Levels17:00 Dopamine’s Impact on Time19:00 Effort Reinforcement22:00 Conclusion Sign up for my FREE MASTERCLASS: HEALTHY OFFERS - for health practitioners looking for strategies to earn more moneyAre you A Healthcare Practitioner?

The Better Show welcomes Danielle Laporte, a best selling author, business strategist and poet to chat with us about how to live our lives through love and forgiveness. We begin our podcast discussing the hyper polarization in society post-pandemic, the polarization in our relationships, and the ego within that is coming to the surface. How holding onto the hate and frustration is unhealthy, and will negatively impact others around you whom you may hold dear. Learning to forgive, even if it doesn’t come naturally to you, may be the way forward. Danielle touches on embracing your inner child not in the traditional way, as well and letting the virtue signallers virtue signal. We wrap up this in depth discussion by chatting about Religion and Spirituality, and how you can pick up Danielle’s new book “ How to Be Loving: As Your Heart Is Breaking Open and Our World Is Waking Up”. Thanks to Danielle for coming on the show, we cannot wait until the next one. Episode Overview: 0:00 Introduction4:00 Societal Polarization12:00 Internalized Anxiousness17:00 Love & Virtue20:00 Ego32:00 Danielle’s View on your “Inner Child”42:30 Virtue Signaling47:00 Forgiving56:30 Love, Religion & Spirituality1:04:00 Conclusion Sign up for my FREE MASTERCLASS: HEALTHY OFFERS - for health practitioners looking for strategies to earn more moneyAre you A Healthcare Practitioner?

Dr. Christopher Palmer is today’s guest on the Better show. Today we talk about the metabolic underpinning of mental illness such as depression, anxiety, bi polar disorder etc. Chris received his medical degree from Washington University School of Medicine, interning and doing his psychiatry residency at McLean Hospital, Massachusetts General Hospital & Harvard Medical School. He’s currently the Director of Dept. of Post Graduate and Continuing Education at McLean Hospital, and an Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. We begin by explaining the role of the mitochondria in our metabolism and it’s impact on the body and brain. We discuss new hypothesis in regards to mental illness maybe not being simply a chemical imbalance, and how exercise can aid in the remission of certain symptoms for a time. Chris educates us on the Over Active Brain, as well as the Under Active Brain, touching on the hormonal impact of menstruation and menopause on depression and anxiety. We polish off today’s incredibly insightful episode with the origin of the Ketogenic diet, and how it’s use can benefit certain people. Dr. Palmer describes the multitude of other benefits of tuning in your mitochondrial efficiency, including sleep regulation and sunlight exposure.
