(13:01) @_livinlifewithjess: ‘This might not be something you’ll actually talk about but I was wondering if you guys could talk about how to fuel your body when a woman is on her period....’
(19:59) @a_cre_rar; ‘First, You two do an incredible job covering a wide variety of topics, I love what ya’ll are doing! Tough question, how do I get my family onboard? I feel like I am leading by example working out, talking about my nutrition and they (specifically my mom who is unhealthy) is pretty dismissive. Incredibly frustrating. Tough question not a one size fits all answer but felt good typing it out! Appreciate you both and always teaching me through your podcast!’
(28:09) @phong_cubed: ‘What’s the most important lesson you’ve learned over your career(s)?’
(31:18) @mci1988: ‘creatine for women! I’ve heard conflicting opinions on it being beneficial to men but increasing the wrong hormones in women. Would be curious to hear a break down of it’
(35:02) @kellyyywitha_y: “I know you've touched on it in bits and pieces in some of the other episodes but who are the people or the resources you use when you want to find information?”
(41:54) @alleapaige: ‘Consuming optimal amount of protein along with how soon after a workout does protein need to be consumed !’

21 - From Keto And Weekend Binges To A Healthy Relationship To Food - Andy's Story

In this episode we are joined by Kristine’s client and friend, Andy Crerar. You'll learn how Andy went from doing Keto and struggling with binge-eating to now being able to reach his goals in a more sustainable, long term way.
He can now lose weight AND have his carbs, has lots of energy to enjoy his family time, and doesn't feel like he needs to 'cheat the system' anymore (you'll learn what that means).
These transitions take time, and uncovering the triggers that lead to binging is an uncomfortable process. But we want you to know that you CAN reach your goals. You CAN work through roadblocks and obstacles.
And Andy is going to tell you exactly how he did it. Enjoy the episode!
