We all need to be better about having open conversations about women's health.MALE LISTENERS- if you don't know how to start a conversation with your women client's- you need to listen to this episode, it will help you. This episode we talk with Adina Rubin. Get ready to laugh and listen to a really honest conversation about fitness, nutrition and women's health.After driving herself into the ground with years of under-eating, doing way too many HIIT classes and taking hormonal birth control, Adina realized that real food, strength training and stress management were the keys to vibrant and optimal health and she set out on a mission to share that with as many women as possible. Through her signature program Strength Training for Happy Hormones, Adina uses low rep kettlebell training with a major emphasis on pelvic floor health to make strength as accessible as possible no matter what stage of life you’re in or where you are on your healing journey.  Adina asks important questions around nutrition such as, "Am I giving my body enough resources to do the basic human processes?"Adina is certified through RKC, is a Prenatal and Postpartum Corrective Exercise Specialist, and has done tons of continuing education in the functional lab testing space to help her clients optimize their metabolism, gut and hormones.

Rehab, training and performance have more similarities than you may think. They are all on the same sliding scale. For most of rehab, if you don't have a plan then you can't get your client back to doing what they want to do- Performance is just the highest pinnacle. You need to know how to manage the specifics of your training and bridge the gap.On today's episode we have Lance Parker. Lance is a former professional soccer player, Founder of Parker Peak Performance and one of the Founding Trainers for Mirror. Lance currently is helping people with cardio metabolic testing and programming. Lance talks about bridging the gap...Where are you at right now? What do you need to be able to do in the future?Lance says, "getting data for data's sake is pointless." You need to work with someone who knows how to get the data that is needed, how to interpret it and create a plan or program that not only is specific to you, but realistically specific to you at that time. Lance is all about being as efficient with your time as possible. Listen to learn how to take a scientific approach to training in order to get results. What Lance calls a "blueprint."  What limitations are affecting you to what degree? The blueprint helps to make better training method decisions to efficiently help you achieve your health and performance goals.Ready to work with Lance?Parkerpeakperformance.comEmail: Lance@parkerpeakperformance.comIG: @lanceaparkerInsidetracker.com use code: LANCEPRO25 for 25% off your genetic and blood tests!Learn about physical therapy services at Reload hereLearn about fitness services at Reload hereIG: @reload.pt Diggin' the intro/outro jam?

Ryan considers- How can we take action to change the things that people can't do to what they can do? "See what a person has. See what they need and link the gap between what they have and what they need" - Dr. Ryan Chow.  Ryan founded Reload to help people in the way they need it the most.
