What happens when a nurse trading her scrubs for a Pilates mat turns her passion into a thriving wellness career? Catherine describes her remarkable transition from nursing to becoming a Pilates instructor, sharing how a simple gym connection with her husband blossomed into a life-altering journey. From navigating pregnancies with Pilates to founding her own studio in Whitstable, Catherine's story embodies the resilience and adaptability of this practice, especially highlighted during her seamless move to online classes amidst a global pandemic. This episode offers an inspiring glimpse into how Pilates has not only reshaped her professional path but also fortified her personal wellness.
Explore the roots of Pilates with insights into Joseph Pilates' pioneering vision, originally called controlology, and his transformative work with dancers in New York City. Discover Pilates's rich history and six guiding principles—concentration, control, flow, centering, precision, and breathing—all crucial for tailoring the practice to diverse abilities. Catherine also discusses the invigorating benefits of Pilates for perimenopausal women, emphasizing its power to energize rather than exhaust when combined with targeted strength training. Whether you're a seasoned practitioner or new to the mat, this episode sheds light on integrating Pilates into your daily wellness routine with tangible benefits.

Balancing Fitness and Fasting for Women

Could the key to enhanced wellness and fitness lie in rethinking how you eat, rather than what you eat? Join us as we explore the intriguing world of intermittent fasting, inspired by the groundbreaking work of experts like Dr. Mindy Peltz and Dr. Michael Mosley.

With insights from Dr. Stacy Sims, we delve into the biological nuances of fasting for women, especially for those juggling active lifestyles and fitness goals.
Our discussion doesn't shy away from the complexities and potential pitfalls of fasting, particularly for women. We share personal stories and experiences, highlighting the balance between nutrient intake and the temptation to use fasting as a form of self-punishment. Discover practical strategies to maintain muscle mass and fuel your body appropriately, while also considering innovative approaches like the fasting mimicking diet. Emphasizing the importance of truly listening to your body's cues, this episode is a treasure trove of insights for anyone curious about the transformative power of fasting on chronic conditions, gut health, and even injury recovery.
