Proper muscle mass is foundational for a resilient body and healthy aging. Training to build muscle is a worthy endeavor–regardless of any body composition goals–and today’s episode explores why.
In this conversation, Erin chats with Liz Wolfe about the interplay between muscle mass and nutrition, from blood sugar balance to glucose control; tips on protein, carb, and amino acid intake around working out; and thoughts on building a lifestyle around nutrition and working out that is not grounded in perfectionism.
Liz Wolfe is a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner and best-selling author who encourages women - all women, but especially the 40-ish crowd - to embrace their inner (and outer) badass using nutrition, fitness and beauty concepts that serve both their bodies and their sanity.
After spending the latter half of her 30s in denial about the milestone that is the big 4-0, she realized that getting real about the aging process is not just a privilege, but an empowering, exciting, and necessary step to living your most fulfilled life.
Liz is the author of the Wall Street Journal Bestseller Eat the Yolks, the host of the award-winning Balanced Bites Podcast, and the co-founder of the Athletic Mom fitness program.
Episode 264: Quantum Biology & Our Health with Dr. Catherine Clinton
Words like “frequency” and “vibration” come up a lot in the wellness world, but what do they actually mean? Advancements in science are allowing us to now see the nano-sized interactions between our biology and the light, sound, and electricity around us. With this information, we’re just starting to understand the impact that the universe has on our very biology.
In today’s episode, Erin sits down with Dr. Catherine Clinton to discuss the ins and outs of quantum biology, the electrical charges in our cells and the world around us, and how this information can inform healing. This conversation breaks down a complex field into a graspable concept, and gives listeners action steps to support their bodies at a quantum level.
Dr. Catherine Clinton has spent over 15 years helping people overcome their health issues. Diagnosed with two autoimmune conditions and Lyme disease while in medical school, she began the long and difficult journey of healing- a path that led to the commitment to help others to not only heal physically but to return to the relationships we evolved over millennia with for a deeper sense of health and belonging.
By healing herself and patients like her, she discovered that true health comes from our relationships. Dr. Catherine has learned how our quantum biological system is intimately and inseparably connected to the world around us. Our relationship with the dirt beneath our feet, the sun, the wind, the water, the plants, the seasons, each other- that is the real medicine.
Her mission is to empower as many people as she can with this knowledge to encourage the paradigm shift we so desperately need.
Episode 263: How to Listen to Your Intuition
Living happy, healthy, and fulfilled lives requires us to understand and be in touch with our inner wisdom. Yet most people are not taught how to access their intuition–instead, the message from society and the conventional healthcare system is often that you SHOULDN’T trust yourself.
In today’s conversation, Erin gets into the whats, whys, and hows of intuition, and how it has proven time and time again to be the best guide in her health, life, relationships…and even business. Listeners will walk away with a definition of intuition, an understanding of why most of us struggle to access or trust our inner guidance, and some action steps for how to start listening to our intuition.
