The Strength Academy

Low-carb, high-carb, low-fat, high-fat, keto, high-protein...what does it all mean?!

You’ve probably heard these terms throw around a lot in the fitness and strength industry, but do you know what they actually mean? In today’s episode, we break down the definitions of these diets, and bring a little clarity to a seemingly hazy trend. And of course, we have a lot of thoughts about all of these diets.

Fitness is likely something we all started because we wanted to be healthier in some way, shape, or form, and some of us have gotten away from that foundation...especially during these weird times. Today we wanted to touch on a topic that has been at the forefront of our minds this week. Today we talk about health and how we are finding sanity and peace in focusing on our health.

These times can bring out some old habits around food, and not habits that we particular want or are helpful. Today we are talking about one of those habits, emotional eating. It’s something a lot, if not all of us, deal with, but aren’t always sure how to navigate. Today’ episode is all about that, and we hope it gives you some clarity.

As young girls, most of us battled with our own demons surrounding food, body image and community. In out adult years, most of us take step to rectify these broken relationships, but sometimes it takes years and we never are truly fixed. Chrissy Chard and Kellie Walters saw this scenario and asked the obvious question: Can we prevent young girls from ever having to go through what we all wish we didn’t? In today’s episode, we sit down with the two founders of Smart Fit Girls to discuss how SFG began, their own personal journeys and what is on the horizon for this incredible organization. By the end of this interview, you will agree with us that Chrissy and Kellie are the heroes we wished we had. Where you can reach Smart Fit Girls...
